Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a forged steel gate valve. Background Art

[0002] The opening and closing parts of the forged steel gate valve are the gate disc, and the movement direction of the gate disc is perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. The forged steel gate valve can only be fully opened and fully closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. The advantages of the forged steel gate valve are small fluid resistance; the external force required for opening and closing is small; the flow direction of the medium is not restricted; when fully opened, the sealing surface is less eroded by the working medium than the stop valve; the shape is relatively simple, and the casting processability is better.

[0003] In order to ensure the sealing performance when closed, most of the forged steel gate valves on the market now have the sealing surfaces on both sides of the gate designed to be inclined. In this way, when cooperating with the valve seat, it can not only achieve sealing, but also reduce wear, thereby extending the service life of the valve. However, most gates adopt an integrated structure, and the size cannot be changed after processing. However, in actual production, the gate size often deviates, resulting in an inability to achieve precise cooperation with the valve seat, causing the gate to be scrapped. Utility Model Content
