Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of valves, and particularly to an identification device and a valve for indicating the opening and closing positions of valves. Background Art

[0002] In the processes of oil and gas extraction, transportation, refining and chemical processing, pipelines are used for transportation, and valves are used to control the oil and gas in the pipelines to achieve the purposes of fluid diversion and throttling. In the technological process, valves with various functions such as forward, reverse, exposed stem, hidden stem, and throttling are required.

[0003] In the prior art, the switch indicator board for indicating the opening and closing positions of valves only has markings such as "open", "closed", "OFF", "ON", etc., and usually uses a page-turning or sliding method to switch the switch markings. The content shown by the switch markings is single. Due to the large variety and quantity of valves, it is easy to confuse the positions of different valve switches after operating the valves. When operating again later, the operators are prone to misjudge the opening and closing positions of the valves, resulting in pressure buildup or accidental release, which is likely to cause production accidents. At the same time, the indicator board used in the prior art is attached to the valve body by a button magnet and is easily dropped by external forces. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In a first aspect, the utility model provides an identification device for indicating the opening and closing positions of valves, including a housing and an indicator board. The housing is used for connecting to a valve body. The indicator board is rotatably connected to the inside of the housing through a connecting member. The housing is provided with a through hole, and the indicator board is provided with markings. The markings are used to indicate the amplitude of the valve opening and closing. Rotating the indicator board can expose different positions of the markings through the through hole.

[0006] By setting that the housing can be connected to the valve body, it is convenient to operate the device in a timely manner when operating the valve, improving the convenience of device operation; the indicator board can be rotatably connected inside the housing, so that the housing plays a protective role for the indicator board, reducing the probability of deformation of the indicator board caused by factors such as external environmental erosion; by enabling the indicator board to rotate, it is convenient to indicate the position where the valve is opened or closed by rotating the indicator board, improving the convenience of device use; by using the mark to indicate the amplitude of the valve opening and closing, the opening and closing position of the valve can be quickly known; by rotating the indicator board, different positions of the mark can be exposed through the through hole, and the mark on the indicator board includes several identification areas for indicating the opening and closing positions, and the identification areas are distributed at different positions on the indicator board. The mark rotates with the rotation of the indicator board, so that the identification areas are exposed or hidden through the through hole, and the identification area indicating the current opening and closing position is exposed through the through hole, and the rest of the indicator board is blocked by the housing, further improving the intuitiveness of the device for recording the opening and closing position of the valve, facilitating the operator to quickly identify the opening and closing position of the valve, and reducing the probability of misjudging the opening and closing position of the valve.

[0007] Furthermore, the connection method between the housing and the valve body can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection.

[0008] During use, install the device on the valve body. When the operator rotates the valve switch, according to the amplitude of the valve switch rotation, rotate the indicator board, so that the mark on the indicator board is exposed through the through hole on the housing, thereby recording the position where the valve is opened or closed. When the valve is operated again later, through the said device, the current opening and closing position of the valve can be identified, and then the operation can be carried out, reducing the possibility that the operator is prone to misjudge the opening and closing position of the valve, resulting in pressure buildup or accidental release, which is likely to cause production accidents.

The connecting member penetrates through the indicating plate, and the limiting groove is used to limit the axial movement of the indicating plate along the indicating plate.

[0013] Further, the connecting member can be a columnar connecting member or a cubic connecting member.

[0014] By setting the top plate and the bottom plate to be connected by a connecting member and using the connecting member to penetrate through the indicating plate, the alignment accuracy between the top plate, the bottom plate and the indicating plate can be improved, and the accuracy of the device indication can be improved; by setting the limiting groove to limit the axial movement of the indicating plate, the rotation of the indicating plate in the plane where the limiting groove is located is further restricted, and the probability of excessive movement or misalignment of the limiting plate is reduced.

[0015] The housing and the indicating plate are concentrically arranged, and the connecting member is arranged at the center point of the housing.

[0016] By concentrically arranging the housing and the indicating plate, the balance of the device is improved, and the instability caused by the center of gravity deviation is reduced; by arranging the connecting member at the center point of the housing, the connecting member can distribute the load more evenly, and the local stress concentration is reduced.

[0027] By setting the through hole as a sector, when the indicator plate rotates, the sector can have a better effect of displaying the mark.

[0028] Furthermore, the through hole can also be square, circular or the like.

[0029] The top plate is provided with a locking portion.

[0030] By providing the locking portion on the top plate, after rotating the indicator plate to a suitable position, operating the locking portion enables the locking portion to abut against the indicator plate, thereby restricting the rotation of the indicator plate, reducing the deviation caused by the movement of the indicator plate due to factors such as vibration, and improving the reliability of the device.

[0031] Furthermore, the locking portion is a limit hole and a limit pin that can cooperate with the limit hole, and can also be set as a limit bolt or the like.

[0032] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a valve, provided with the identification device for indicating the opening and closing position of the valve, and the identification device for indicating the opening and closing position of the valve is connected to the valve body of the valve through the housing.
