DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments are selected and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present invention and thereby design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a high vacuum butterfly valve with water cooling is provided, including a valve body 1, the valve body 1 is provided with a valve stem mounting hole 11 along the central axis, the valve stem mounting hole 11 is used to install a valve stem 12, the valve stem 12 is connected to a valve disc 13, a water cooling inlet 2 is provided at one end of the valve body 1, a water cooling outlet 3 is provided at the other end of the valve body 1, a first water cooling groove 4 is provided on one side of the valve body 1, a first cover plate 5 is welded on one side of the valve body 1 located at the first water cooling groove 4, the first cover plate 5 is used to close the first water cooling groove 4, a second water cooling groove 6 is provided on the other side of the valve body 1, and the valve body 1 is located at the second water cooling groove 6. A second cover plate 7 is welded on one side of the groove 6. The second cover plate 7 is used to close the second water-cooling groove 6. After the valve body 1 is connected to the pipeline flange, the sealing groove of the O-ring of the pipeline flange corresponds to the first cover plate 5 and the second cover plate 7, so that the first cover plate 5 and the second cover plate 7 are both in contact with the O-ring of the pipeline flange. The water-cooling inlet 2 is connected to the water source, and the water flows into the second water-cooling groove 6 from the water-cooling inlet 2, and then enters the first water-cooling groove 4, and is discharged from the water-cooling outlet 3 to cool the valve body 1. The water flows in a single direction to fully cool the valve body 1, and the O-ring is dissipated by heat conduction.

[0025] In this embodiment, water cooling grooves are provided on both sides of the valve body 1. The two water cooling grooves are interconnected inside the valve body 1, and are connected to the water cooling inlet 2 and the water cooling outlet 3 on both sides of the outer circle of the valve body 1. When the water source is connected, the water flows into the water cooling groove of the valve body 1 and flows in a certain direction inside the valve body 1. The valve body 1 is cooled to a suitable temperature, and the O-ring can work normally at normal temperature.

[0026] It can be understood that by providing water cooling grooves on both sides of the valve body 1 , the structure of the valve body 1 is compact, and the overall dimensions of the valve body 1 do not change much, which is basically the same as that of a valve body without water cooling.

[0027] The valve body 1 is particularly suitable for high-temperature vacuum media with a temperature of +120 to +250°C. Through water cooling, the O-ring in contact with the valve body 1 is cooled to a temperature of +150°C and can work normally without burning or aging, thereby extending the service life of the O-ring. There is no need for a high-temperature resistant O-ring made of special materials, such as perfluoroether or perfluororubber, thereby saving costs.

[0028] In this embodiment, see Figure 4 As shown, the first water-cooling groove 4 is in a circular shape, and a water outlet hole 41 is provided near the water-cooling outlet 3 of the first water-cooling groove 4, and the water outlet hole 41 is connected with the water-cooling outlet 3. At least one through hole 8 is opened on the upper part of the first water-cooling groove 4, and the first water-cooling groove 4 is connected with the second water-cooling groove 6 through the through hole 8.

[0029] Further, two through holes 8 are provided, and the two through holes 8 are respectively located at two sides of the valve stem mounting hole 11 , so that the through holes 8 avoid the valve stem mounting hole 11 .

[0030] Furthermore, a first stopper 42 is provided in the first water cooling groove 4. The thickness of the first stopper 42 is the same as the depth of the first water cooling groove 4. The first stopper 42 is located above the water outlet hole 41. The first stopper 42 is located below the through hole 8. When water flows into the first water cooling groove 4 from the through hole 8, the water flow is blocked by the first stopper 42, and the water can only enter the water cooling outlet 3 from the water outlet hole 41 and be discharged.

[0031] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 As shown, the second water-cooling groove 6 is in a circular ring shape, and a water inlet hole 61 is provided near the water-cooling inlet 2 of the second water-cooling groove 6. The water inlet hole 61 is connected to the water-cooling inlet 2, and water flows from the water-cooling inlet 2 through the water inlet hole 61 into the second water-cooling groove 6.

[0032] Furthermore, a second stopper 62 is provided in the second water cooling groove 6. The thickness of the second stopper 62 is the same as the depth of the second water cooling groove 6. The second stopper 62 is located above the water inlet hole 61. The second stopper 62 is located below the through hole 8. When water flows into the second water cooling groove 6 from the water inlet hole 61, the water flow is blocked by the second stopper 62, and water can only flow from below.

[0033] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0034] When in use, the water-cooling inlet 2 is connected to the water source, and water flows from the water-cooling inlet 2 through the water inlet hole 61 into the second water-cooling groove 6. Under the obstruction of the second stopper 62, water can only flow from the bottom, flow counterclockwise to the through hole 8, and enter the first water-cooling groove 4 through the through hole 8. Under the obstruction of the first stopper 42, water can only flow from the other side, flow counterclockwise to the water outlet hole 41, and be discharged from the water-cooling outlet 3. Due to the action of the second stopper 62 and the first stopper 42, water can only flow in a single direction. The one-way water flow can fully cool the valve body 1. The O-ring sealing groove of the pipeline flange is just connected to the first cover plate 5 and the second cover plate 7 that are welded together. The first cover plate 5 and the second cover plate 7 are fully cooled, and the O-ring compressed in contact with them can also be cooled, so that the O-ring can work normally at normal temperature, thereby extending the service life of the vacuum butterfly valve.

[0035] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified and limited.
