Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, and more specifically to a butterfly valve stem sealing ring. Background Art
[0002] Butterfly valves are mainly used in many industries such as petrochemicals, food and beverages, and machinery manufacturing. They are a type of throttling valve that consists of a valve body, a valve stem, a butterfly plate, and a sealing ring. In the closed state, the butterfly plate rotates to block the pipeline to achieve a flow cutoff effect. It is widely used because of its simple structure, light weight, and long service life. The valve stem is an important component of the butterfly valve, which is used for transmission. It is connected to the actuator or handle on the upper side and directly drives the valve core to move or rotate below to achieve the valve switch or regulation function. Because the valve stem is a movable part, it is the part that is most likely to leak. Therefore, the valve stem seal is very important for the valve.
[0003] The butterfly valve stem seals on the current market are all made of wear-resistant materials such as rubber sleeves, copper sleeves, and flexible graphite. However, an ordinary rubber O-ring can only be used in ordinary working conditions. If copper sleeves and PTFE tube seals are used, although they are easier to install, have low cost, and are easy to replace, they will have poor sealing performance due to the hard material and lack of resilience. Especially when the medium is gas or vacuum conditions, the ability of these seals to resist leakage and the sealing strength cannot meet the actual use requirements.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve and upgrade the existing butterfly valve stem sealing structure to completely solve the shortcomings of poor sealing and vacuum leakage at the valve stem. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the utility model proposes a butterfly valve stem sealing ring, and its specific technical solution is as follows:
[0006] A butterfly valve stem sealing ring is a sealing ring made of rubber material. The sealing ring adopts a double structure of an inner and outer ring with an inner ring surface and an outer ring surface. A gap extending in the circumferential direction is provided between the inner ring surface and the outer ring surface, and a connecting portion is connected between the outer ends of the inner ring surface and the outer ring surface on the same side; the radial width of the outer ring surface is greater than the radial width of the inner ring surface, and the outer ring surface can fully contact the sealing groove on the valve body; a spring is provided on the outer ring sleeve on the side of the inner ring surface close to the outer ring surface.
[0007] Preferably, the inner ring surface is a high elastic inner ring with thin and soft characteristics.
[0008] Preferably, one end of the inner annular surface away from the connecting portion is provided with a thin flange extending toward the outer annular surface.
[0009] Preferably, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on a surface of the connecting portion facing the gap.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model adopts a double structure of inner and outer rings for the butterfly valve stem seal ring made of rubber material, and the inner ring is reinforced with a spring. The spring tightens the gripping force between the seal ring and the valve stem, fully ensuring the sealing effect between the seal ring and the valve stem. In addition, the radial width of the outer ring surface in the utility model is greater than the radial width of the inner ring surface, and the outer ring surface can fully contact the sealing groove on the valve body. Its soft sealing characteristics also enable it to achieve zero leakage under gas and vacuum conditions.
[0011] The utility model has excellent overall performance and can be used in all complex working conditions, and has the characteristics of simple and practical structure, convenient installation and convenient maintenance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
