Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a pneumatic tank bottom valve. Background Art
[0002] The pneumatic tank bottom valve controls the pressure, flow rate and flow direction of the airflow through the pneumatic actuator to realize the opening and closing operation of the valve. There are two types: normally closed and normally open. Due to the presence of impurities in the medium, when the valve is opened, impurities will enter the stem cavity of the valve body, causing irreversible damage to the valve core sealing surface and sealing components. Therefore, a filter device will be installed to filter the medium. The installation method is mostly that the filter device is set on the inlet flow channel and the outlet flow channel, and is clamped and fixed by tightening the flange and the valve body with bolts. This installation structure makes the subsequent disassembly and maintenance very inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims at the above-mentioned problem and solves the problem that impurities enter the stem cavity of the valve body and cause wear and damage to the valve core sealing surface and sealing components.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a pneumatic tank bottom valve, comprising a valve body and a pneumatic actuator, the valve body being provided with an inlet end and an outlet end, the inlet end being clamped with a filter assembly, the filter assembly comprising a base, a filter screen and a ferrule, the base and the ferrule being connected by threads, the filter screen being clamped between the base and the ferrule, a plurality of buckles being provided on the ferrule, and the ferrule being clamped on the inlet end by the buckles.
[0005] By adopting the above technical scheme, a snap-on installation method is adopted to facilitate later replacement and maintenance. At the same time, it is different from the filtering device in the prior art in which the base and the filter are an integrated structure. The base is connected to the ferrule by threaded connection to tighten the filter. In the later stage, only the filter needs to be maintained and replaced, which saves the company's maintenance costs. The ferrule is supported and fixed at the inlet end by a snap-on clamping method. During later maintenance, there is no need to disassemble the external flange and valve body, which saves cleaning time and improves work efficiency.
[0006] The utility model is further configured that a threaded inner wall is provided on the base, a stud matched with the threaded inner wall is provided on the side of the ferrule facing the base, and the stud is screwed onto the threaded inner wall.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution and using a split threaded connection method, the installation and replacement of the filter screen is facilitated without replacing the entire filter assembly, thus saving the company's maintenance costs.
[0008] The utility model is further configured that a mounting plane is provided on one side of the stud facing the base, the filter screen is placed on the mounting plane, and a positioning flange for pressing the filter screen is provided on the base.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation plane is used to ensure the flatness of the filter when it is placed, and the positioning flange is used to provide a pressing force on the filter to prevent the filter from falling off.
[0010] The utility model is further configured such that a first gasket is sandwiched between the positioning flange and the filter screen, and a second gasket is sandwiched between the mounting plane and the filter screen.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a flexible connection between the filter screen and the mounting plane and the positioning flange is achieved, the clamping force on both sides is increased, and the pressure on the edge of the filter screen is reduced, thereby avoiding breakage and deformation at the edge of the filter screen after the base and the ferrule are tightened.
[0012] The utility model is further configured as follows: a plurality of yielding through holes are provided on the ferrule, and an extending leg, a U-shaped abutting portion and a retreating leg are provided on the buckle. The U-shaped abutting portion extends toward and abuts against one side of the inlet end, one end of the extending leg is connected to the U-shaped abutting portion and is bent and connected to one end of the yielding through hole, one end of the retreating leg is connected to the U-shaped abutting portion, and the other end passes through the yielding through hole and extends to one side of the inner wall of the ferrule, and a slot engaged with the U-shaped abutting portion is provided on the inner wall of the inlet end.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the U-shaped abutment portion is connected with the slot to provide a stable support effect, and the extended support leg is used to release the abutment force received by the U-shaped abutment portion, thereby making a flexible bending to form a giving way effect. When disassembly is required, the retreat support leg is pressed downward, and the retreat support leg drives the U-shaped abutment portion to loosen the clamping force of the slot.
[0014] The utility model is further configured as follows: a transition surface is arranged on one side of the slot near the inlet end opening, and the transition surface is arranged in an arc shape.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the U-shaped abutting portion can be easily engaged with the slot, thereby reducing the wear of the abutting surface of the U-shaped abutting portion.
[0016] The utility model is further configured as follows: the first gasket and the second gasket are made of rubber material.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber material can be used to achieve flexible contact with the filter screen, thereby preventing the filter screen from being deformed and damaged. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
