[0029] like Figure 4-5As shown, in one embodiment, the first clamping block 91 is provided with a first upper connecting groove 911 at one end facing the upper valve stem 51, and the side wall of the first upper connecting groove 911 corresponds to the outer peripheral wall of the upper valve stem 51; the second clamping block 92 is provided with a second upper connecting groove 921 at one end facing the upper valve stem 51, and the second upper connecting groove 921 corresponds to the first upper connecting groove 911; the first clamping block 91 is provided with a first lower connecting groove 912 at one end facing the lower valve stem 52, and the side wall of the first lower connecting groove 912 corresponds to the outer peripheral wall of the lower valve stem 52; the second clamping block 92 is provided with a second lower connecting groove 922 at one end facing the lower valve stem 52, and the second lower connecting groove 922 corresponds to the first lower connecting groove 912. If the valve stem 5 is cylindrical, the side walls of the first upper connecting groove 911 and the first lower connecting groove 912 are arc-shaped to adapt to the circular peripheral wall of the valve stem 5, so that the side walls can fit tightly with the outer peripheral wall of the valve stem 5.

[0030] When the first clamping block 91 and the second clamping block 92 are closely mounted on the peripheral wall of the valve stem 5 , a gap is provided between the radially opposite end surfaces of the first clamping block 91 and the second clamping block 92 along the valve stem 5 .

[0031] When in use, the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 are radially enclosed and arranged on both sides of the valve stem 5, wherein the side walls of the first upper connecting groove 911 and the second upper connecting groove 921 are respectively fitted on both sides of the end of the upper valve stem 51, and the side walls of the first lower connecting groove 912 and the second lower connecting groove 922 are respectively fitted on both sides of the end of the lower valve stem 52, and the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 are radially locked using the fastening bolts 93, so that the side walls of the first upper connecting groove 911 and the second upper connecting groove 921 are tightly set against the outer wall of the upper valve stem 51, and the side walls of the first lower connecting groove 912 and the second lower connecting groove 922 are tightly set against the outer wall of the lower valve stem 52. Since a gap is provided between the radially opposite end surfaces of the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 along the valve stem 5, when the fastening bolts 93 are used to lock the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92, the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 can be adjusted as needed. 1. The pressure between the second clamping block 92 and the valve stem 5 is used to adjust the friction between the first clamping block 91, the second clamping block 92 and the valve stem 5; under the action of the friction between the first upper connecting groove 911, the second upper connecting groove 921 and the upper valve stem 51, a fixed connection relationship is formed between the connecting member 9 and the upper valve stem 51, and the upper valve stem 51 can rotate synchronously with the connecting member 9; under the action of the friction between the first lower connecting groove 912 and the second lower connecting groove 922 and the lower valve stem 52, a fixed connection relationship is formed between the connecting member 9 and the lower valve stem 52, and the lower valve stem 52 can rotate synchronously with the connecting member 9.

[0032] like Figure 6-7As shown, in one embodiment, the upper valve stem 51 is provided with a first boss 511, and the lower valve stem 52 is provided with a second boss 521. The connecting member 9 is fixedly connected to the upper valve stem 51 through the first boss 511, and the connecting member 9 is fixedly connected to the lower valve stem 52 through the second boss 521. In this embodiment, the first boss 511 and the second boss 521 are both quadrangular prism-shaped, the first upper connecting groove 911 and the second upper connecting groove 921 match the outer peripheral wall of the first boss 511, and the first lower connecting groove 912 and the second lower connecting groove 922 match the outer peripheral wall of the second boss 521. When the first clamping block 91 and the second clamping block 92 are fitted on the peripheral walls of the first boss 511 and the second boss 521, a gap is provided between the radially opposite end faces of the first clamping block 91 and the second clamping block 92 along the valve stem 5. Of course, in other embodiments, the first boss 511 and the second boss 521 may also be in other shapes, such as triangular prism, pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, etc. Due to the multi-prism design of the first boss 511 and the second boss 521, the fitting surfaces of the connecting member 9 and the first boss 511 and the second boss 521 can block each other in the circumferential direction, forming a more stable circumferential fixed connection relationship, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the synchronous rotation of the upper valve stem 51 and the lower valve stem 52.

[0033] When in use, the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 are radially enclosed and arranged on the peripheral wall of the first boss 511 and the second boss 521, wherein the side walls of the first upper connecting groove 911 and the second upper connecting groove 921 are enclosed and fitted on the peripheral wall of the first boss 511, and the side walls of the first lower connecting groove 912 and the second lower connecting groove 922 are enclosed and fitted on the peripheral wall of the second boss 521, and the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 are radially locked using the fastening bolts 93 so that the side walls of the first upper connecting groove 911 and the second upper connecting groove 921 are The first lower connecting groove 912 and the second lower connecting groove 922 are tightly arranged against the outer wall of the second boss 521. Since a gap is provided between the radially opposite end faces of the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 along the valve stem 5, when the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 are locked with the fastening bolt 93, the pressure between the first clamp block 91, the second clamp block 92 and the valve stem 5 can be adjusted as needed, thereby adjusting the friction between the first clamp block 91, the second clamp block 92 and the valve stem 5. At the same time, the first boss 511 and the second boss 521 can block each other with the connecting member 9 in the circumferential direction, so that a more stable circumferential fixed connection relationship is formed between the upper valve stem 51, the connecting member 9 and the second boss 521, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the synchronous rotation of the upper valve stem 51 and the lower valve stem 52.

[0034] In one embodiment, a cylindrical pin 94 is further provided between the end surfaces facing each other of the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92. Both ends of the cylindrical pin 94 are respectively accommodated in the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 along the radial direction of the valve stem 5. The cylindrical pin 94 can play a guiding role when the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 are arranged to surround and fit the valve stem 5. At the same time, the cylindrical pin 94 can also prevent the first clamp block 91 from rotating circumferentially and moving axially relative to the second clamp block 92, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the first clamp block 91 and the second clamp block 92 and the consistency of movement.

[0035] When it is necessary to maintain and replace the packing 4, first, the fastening bolts 93 of the connecting piece 9 are removed, and then the first clamping block 91 and the second clamping block 92 are radially separated from the upper valve stem 51 and the lower valve stem 52, so that the gap between the upper valve stem 51 and the lower valve stem 52 is exposed; then, the fasteners between the pressure plate 2 and the stuffing box 3 are removed, and the pressure plate 2 is moved axially along the lower valve stem 52 to the gap between the upper valve stem 51 and the lower valve stem 52, and then radially moved to completely separate the pressure plate 2 from the valve stem 5; when the pressure plate 2 is separated from the valve stem 5, it is more convenient for maintenance personnel to maintain and replace the packing 4. Compared with the prior art, the efficiency of maintenance and replacement of the packing 4 has been effectively improved, the downtime time has been reduced, and the production cost has been reduced.

[0036] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the above-mentioned embodiments are specific examples for implementing the present invention, and in actual applications, various changes may be made thereto in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
