AI Technical Summary
When the axial medium pressure of the existing elastic sealing gate valve is greater than the friction force, the valve plate will displace, resulting in a degradation of sealing performance. In the case of high pressure, the suspension gate plate is easily damaged, affecting its service life.
By extending the extension downwardly on the guide groove of the valve body, it contacts the lower end of the gate plate, increasing the contact area and providing additional support force. At the same time, the sealing surface of the gate plate is wedge-shaped, with a wedge angle of 6°-8° to reduce the torque of the gate plate.
It effectively prevents the valve plate from displaced and swinging under high pressure, improves sealing performance, and significantly extends the service life of the gate valve by reducing shear force.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a valve, in particular to an elastic sealing gate valve. Background Art
[0002] The opening and closing part of the gate valve is the valve plate. The movement direction of the valve plate is perpendicular to the flow direction of the medium. The gate valve is generally used for full opening and full closing, and is rarely adjusted and throttled. The valve plate has two sealing surfaces. The most commonly used mode is that the two sealing surfaces of the valve plate are wedge-shaped. The wedge angle varies with the valve parameters and is usually 5°. The valve plate of the wedge-type gate valve can be made into an integral body, and can be made into a valve plate that can produce a slight deformation. Different types of rubber are covered on the valve plate casting to improve its processability. This valve plate is called an elastic valve plate (or rubber valve plate), and this type of gate valve is called an elastic sealing gate valve. There is no groove in the valve body channel of the elastic sealing gate valve. It is a straight-through structure, and the medium flows smoothly. The compression force generated by the torsion applied to the valve plate by the valve stem makes the valve plate pressed against the wall of the valve body channel, and the compensation effect of the slight elastic deformation of the elastic valve plate is used to achieve a good sealing effect. Since the valve body channel of the elastic sealing gate valve is a straight-through structure, there is no lateral support at the bottom of the valve plate of the elastic sealing gate valve, so that the valve plate forms a hanging structure. The valve stem and the valve stem nut apply torque to the valve plate to generate a pressing force, so that the valve plate is pressed against the valve body channel. The sealing performance is achieved entirely by converting the radial pressing force into friction to offset the axial medium pressure. When the axial medium pressure is less than or equal to the friction force, the bottom of the valve plate will be vertically pressed against the valve body channel to achieve sealing; when the axial medium pressure is greater than the friction force, the valve plate will be displaced and will have a certain inclination with the valve body channel. When the displacement exceeds the compensation amount of the elastic valve plate to produce a slight elastic deformation, the sealing performance of the gate valve will be affected. At the same time, during the processing and assembly of the gate valve, due to reasons such as processing accuracy and operating proficiency, it will also cause the valve plate and the valve body channel to be difficult to be in a vertical state, and sometimes there will be a certain offset, at which time the sealing performance of the gate valve will also be affected. When the gate valve is small, sealing can be achieved by increasing the torque, but the result is that the gate valve torque increases; when the gate valve diameter exceeds DN300, the above method is difficult to ensure the sealing performance of the gate valve. Therefore, when the gate valve is under high pressure, the conventional elastic sealing gate valve will cause the valve plate to displace laterally due to the pressure difference on both sides of the channel. At the same time, since the middle of both sides of the gate plate are suspended in the guide groove of the inner wall of the valve body through the hanging ears, shear force will be generated between the gate plate and the valve body when impacted by the axial medium, which will damage the gate plate and thus affect the service life of the gate valve. Under high pressure, the suspended gate plate will swing or displace. Once the lower part of the gate plate begins to swing or displace, the upper part of the gate plate will leak and the seal will be damaged.
[0003] For example, China Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN219809422U discloses a leak-proof gate valve, including a valve body, both sides of which are fixedly connected to a butt-joint pipe, the top of the valve body is fixedly connected to a butt-joint piece, a threaded column is threadedly connected to the butt-joint piece, one end of the threaded column extends to the inside of the valve body and is provided with a mounting plate, the bottom of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a gate, the top of the threaded column is fixedly connected to a rotating handle, and both sides of the inner wall of the valve body are fixedly connected to guide grooves. In this patent, the gate is still a suspended structure, and there is still the problem of displacement of the valve plate when the axial medium pressure is greater than the friction force.
[0004] Another example is China Invention Patent Publication No. CN107461509A, which discloses a high-reliability elastic soft-sealed gate valve, including a handwheel, a valve stem, a valve cover, a valve body and a valve plate. The two ends of the valve body channel are respectively the medium inlet and outlet. The valve cover is mounted on the valve body. The bottom of the valve stem passes through the valve cover and is connected to the valve plate, and the top is connected to the handwheel. A slightly convex arc surface is provided on the bottom wall of the valve body channel below the valve plate. A concave hole for inserting the slightly convex arc surface is provided on the bottom surface of the valve plate. The height of the slightly convex arc surface is 2 to 6 mm. The bottom walls of the medium inlet and outlet are both provided with an arc-shaped conical surface, and the small end of the arc-shaped conical surface faces outward, with an inclination angle α of 3° to 8°, preferably 5°. This patent relies on the cooperation of the slightly convex arc surface and the concave hole to provide additional support for the valve plate. Due to the limited contact area between the arc surface and the concave hole, the problem of valve plate displacement cannot be fundamentally solved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that when the axial medium pressure of the existing elastic sealing gate valve is greater than the friction force, the valve plate will be displaced, and an elastic sealing gate valve that overcomes the cantilever anti-displacement is provided.
[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is to overcome the cantilever anti-displacement elastic sealing gate valve, including: a valve body, guide grooves arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the valve body and a gate plate slidably matched with the guide grooves, wherein the guide grooves have extension parts extending downward and at least partially contacting the lower ends of both sides of the gate plate.
[0007] In the above solution, the lower ends of both sides of the gate plate have matching surfaces that conformally match the extension part.
[0008] The two sealing surfaces of the gate in the above scheme are wedge-shaped, and the wedge angle is 6°-8°.
[0009] The improvement of the above scheme is that the two ends of the valve body are respectively a medium inlet and a medium outlet, and the bottom walls of the medium inlet and the medium outlet are both provided with an arc-shaped cone surface, and the small end of the arc-shaped cone surface faces outward, and the inclination angle of the arc-shaped cone surface is 7.5°.
[0010] Another improvement of the above solution is that a concave hole is provided in the center of the bottom surface of the valve plate, and an arc surface matching the concave hole is provided on the inner surface of the valve body below the valve plate.
[0011] The beneficial effect of the utility model is to use the extension part extending downward from the guide groove to provide support for the gate plate, which changes the design of the previous suspended gate plate, greatly increases the contact area between the guide groove and the gate plate, and improves the sealing performance. When the axial medium pressure is greater than the friction force, the gate plate is not only subjected to downward pressure, but also to the lateral blocking force provided by the extension part to the gate plate, which is equivalent to two more aspects of sealing, and will not cause displacement or swing; the two side ears of the gate plate will no longer form pressure shear with the guide groove on the valve body, thereby doubling the service life of the gate valve. The two sealing surfaces of the gate plate are wedge-shaped, and the wedge angle is 6°-8°, which can better reduce the torsion of the gate plate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

When the gate plate is fully closed, the gate plate is suspended in the guide grooves through the hanging ears. The application increases the contact area with the gate plate through the downwardly extending extensions, on the one hand, and provides additional support for the gate plate on the other hand.
