Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of butterfly valves, and particularly relates to a butterfly valve with a self-locking mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A butterfly valve, also called a flap valve, is a simple-structured regulating valve. A butterfly valve that can be used for the on-off control of a low-pressure pipeline medium refers to a valve in which the closing member (valve flap or butterfly plate) is a disc and rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing.

[0003] At present, the existing sealed butterfly valve does not have a locking mechanism, and is prone to accidental touch during use, resulting in the opening or closing of the valve shaft and the valve flap, which has an adverse impact on people's normal use. The electric butterfly valve has the advantages of high automation, simple operation, accurate control, etc. However, once a power failure occurs, effective opening and closing operations cannot be performed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a butterfly valve with a self-locking mechanism to solve the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.

[0005] A butterfly valve with a self-locking mechanism includes a valve body and a valve shaft. Flange plates are arranged on the left and right sides of the valve body. A butterfly plate is arranged inside the valve body. A positioning mechanism is arranged directly above the valve body. The positioning mechanism positions or disassembles the equipment for opening and closing the butterfly valve, facilitating the opening and closing of the butterfly valve electrically or manually. A locking mechanism is arranged inside the positioning mechanism. The locking mechanism meshes and locks the top end of the valve shaft to prevent accidental touch from causing the valve shaft and the valve flap to open or close.

[0006] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a driving tray, a motor, a cover plate, grooves, semi-circular strips, and fastening holes. A cover plate is arranged directly above the driving tray. A motor is connected to the top of the cover plate. Semi-circular strips are symmetrically arranged at the bottom end of the cover plate. The semi-circular strips are equidistantly provided with fastening holes. Grooves are symmetrically opened directly above the driving tray.

[0007] Preferably, the driving tray is connected to the semi-circular strips through the grooves symmetrically opened at the top end.

[0008] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a transmission disc, a driving gear, a valve shaft, a driving shaft, and a sealing ring gasket. The transmission disc is arranged inside the driving tray. A driving gear is meshed and connected inside the transmission disc. The top end of the driving gear is connected through a driving shaft. The top end of the driving shaft is connected to the output end of the motor. The outer side of the valve shaft is connected through a sealing ring gasket. The sealing ring gasket is arranged inside the valve body.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission disc is connected to the top end of the butterfly plate through the valve shaft connected by a key.

[0010] Preferably, the motor is connected to the driving gear at the output end and then connected to the transmission disc.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. During use, the motor drives the driving gear to rotate, the driving gear drives the transmission disc to rotate, and the transmission disc drives the driving shaft and the butterfly plate arranged below to rotate, thereby facilitating the precise control of the rotation angle of the laminated plate. At the same time, the driving gear meshes with the transmission disc, and then the transmission disc is self-locked to prevent the valve shaft and the valve flap from opening or closing due to accidental touch during use.

[0013] 2. Once the motor in the electric butterfly valve loses power, the valve plate in the electric butterfly valve will stop at any angle. When the equipment is powered off, the operator can separate the bottom half-ring strip of the cover plate from the groove, so that the output end of the motor 5 is separated from the driving gear and the transmission disc, which is convenient for the operator to control the transmission disc, and then timely open or close the valve body, improving the flexibility of valve body control.

The positioning mechanism 6 positions or disassembles the equipment for opening and closing the butterfly valve, facilitating the opening and closing of the butterfly valve electrically or manually. A locking mechanism 9 is arranged inside the positioning mechanism 6. The locking mechanism 9 meshes and locks the top end of the valve shaft 12 to prevent the valve shaft 12 and the valve flap from opening or closing due to accidental contact.

[0023] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 6 includes a driving tray 4, a motor 5, a cover plate 7, grooves 8, semi-circular strips 13 and fastening holes 16. A cover plate 7 is arranged directly above the driving tray 4. A motor 5 is connected above the cover plate 7. Semi-circular strips 13 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom end of the cover plate 7. The semi-circular strips 13 are equidistantly provided with fastening holes 16. Grooves 8 are symmetrically opened directly above the driving tray 4, so that the driving gear 11 at the output end of the motor 5 is separated from the transmission disc 10.

[0024] In this embodiment, the driving tray 4 is connected to the semi-circular strips 13 through the symmetrically opened grooves 8 at the top end, and the symmetrically arranged grooves 8 and semi-circular strips 13 are used for limiting and positioning.

[0025] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 9 includes a transmission disc 10, a driving gear 11, a valve shaft 12, a driving shaft 14 and a sealing ring gasket 15. The transmission disc 10 is arranged inside the driving tray 4. A driving gear 11 is meshed and connected inside the transmission disc 10.
