[0069] Example 9
[0070] On the basis of the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides a valve, including a valve body 9 and the valve folding handle as described above, wherein the other end of the fixing rod 1 is connected to the valve body 9 .
[0071] This embodiment also provides a valve with a simple structure and reasonable design. The provided valve ensures safe passage, facilitates on-site maintenance, inspection and operating personnel to pass through the walkway smoothly, and has no impact on valve operation.
[0072] It should be noted that the valve body 9 adopts the existing technology, and its specific structure and principle are not described in detail here.
[0073] Example 10
[0074] Based on Example 9, this example also provides an LNG receiving station, including the valve described above.
[0075] This embodiment also provides an LNG receiving station, which has a simple structure and reasonable design. The valves provided ensure safe passage, facilitate on-site maintenance, inspection and operating personnel to pass through the walkway smoothly, and have no impact on valve operation.
[0076] It should be noted that the above-mentioned LNG receiving station adopts existing technology, and its specific structure and principle will not be described in detail here.
[0077] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0078] During use, when the handle is in the operating state, the folding rod 2 is manually rotated to be parallel to the fixed rod 1 and positioned using the spring lock 4 (the folding rod 2 is flipped downward 180° at this time) so as to operate the valve through the handle;
[0079] When the handle needs to be folded, the folding rod 2 is manually rotated until it is superimposed on the fixed rod 1 (the folding rod 2 is flipped upward 180° at this time). At this time, the folding rod 2 does not need to be positioned, ensuring the safety of the inspection personnel, facilitating on-site maintenance, inspection and operating personnel to pass through the walkway smoothly, and has no effect on the valve operation.
[0080] In order to meet the on-site inspection safety requirements and the torque requirements of valve opening and closing, the valve handle structure needs to be modified and the operating torque needs to be guaranteed to meet the torque requirements of valve opening and closing. The idea is to shorten the valve handle and extend it when opening and closing the valve. It must be stored at the valve handle on a daily basis and cannot be lost. There is no need to bring manual tools to the site to open and close the valve.
[0081] The utility model disconnects the valve handle that blocks the passage at an appropriate position under the premise of meeting the requirements of on-site safe operation. At the disconnection point, a grooved fixing plate with an axis ear is welded on the front section of the handle, a pin shaft sleeve is welded on the rear section, and a spring lock is installed under the front section. When the handle is in an operating state, the lock tongue automatically pops out under the action of the spring, and at this time, the rear section of the handle is constrained in the up, down, left and right directions; when the handle needs to be folded, it is only necessary to pull the pull rod at the rear of the spring lock to retract the lock tongue, and the rear section of the handle rotates 180 degrees with the pin shaft as the center and then folds on the upper part of the front section of the handle, thereby ensuring that it is convenient to operate and will not be lost, and meeting the valve switching torque requirements.
[0082] The utility model is suitable for situations where the valve handle of an on-site valve is too long, affecting the safety of on-site inspection and passage, and if the valve handle is shortened, the valve switching torque requirement cannot be met and the valve cannot be opened. Therefore, it is required to ensure on-site safety while being convenient, fast, safe and labor-saving to switch the valve. The valve handle structure is changed to meet the safety of passage and the switching torque requirement, and the operator does not need to carry extra tools, which increases the burden on personnel.

Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
