Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of machinery, and particularly relates to a diaphragm valve body structure for reducing the consumption of PFA materials. Background Art

[0002] At present, PFA diaphragm valves are widely used in the photovoltaic semiconductor industry. The existing PFA diaphragm valves generally consist of components such as valve bodies, diaphragms, connecting nuts, and driving mechanisms, among which the entire valve body is made of PFA material. Figure 5 Shown is a structural schematic diagram of the existing valve body. As Figure 5 shown, in order to enable the connecting nut to be smoothly connected to the valve body 5, the valve body 5 needs to be provided with an external thread structure 51 to cooperate with the internal thread of the connecting nut 5. Since the existing valve body has an external thread structure, not only is the usage amount of PFA material relatively large, but also the injection mold and the tonnage of the injection molding machine of the valve body will increase. This not only increases the material cost of the valve, but also increases the manufacturing difficulty of the valve. In addition, in order to meet the requirements of high purity, PFA materials usually use imported materials from foreign countries such as Daikin in Japan, 3M in the United States, and DuPont. The price is expensive and the delivery cycle is long, further increasing the production cost and reducing the production efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of the above problems, the utility model proposes a diaphragm valve body structure for reducing the consumption of PFA materials.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A diaphragm valve body structure for reducing the consumption of PFA materials, including a valve body sleeve, a valve body, and a bottom plate. It is characterized in that the valve body is a tee pipe structure composed of a straight pipe for liquid flow and a connecting pipe. The upper half of the valve body sleeve is an external thread structure, and the lower half is a connecting seat. The connecting seat is sleeved on the pipe orifice of the connecting pipe of the valve body. The bottom plate is located on the side of the valve body opposite to the connecting seat and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat, thereby fixedly connecting the valve body sleeve to the valve body. The valve body is made of FPA material, and the valve body sleeve and the bottom plate are made of non-high-purity materials.

[0006] Preferably, the non-high-purity material is PP, PP+GF, PPH, or PVDF material.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom plate and the connecting seat are fixedly connected by screws.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the connecting seat of the valve body sleeve is provided with 2 to 4 threaded holes, and the bottom plate is correspondingly provided with 2 to 4 threaded holes.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] A diaphragm valve body structure for reducing PFA material consumption of the present utility model improves the existing PFA diaphragm valve body. The external thread structure of the valve body originally made entirely of PFA material is cancelled and replaced with non-high-purity material components, thereby reducing the weight of the PFA valve body, reducing the usage amount of PFA material, and lowering the production cost. Since the weight of the PFA valve body in the present utility model is reduced, the tonnage of the injection mold and injection machine for producing the PFA valve body can also be further reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty and improving the production efficiency.

The external thread structure 11 is used for threaded connection with a connecting nut 5 (see Figure 4 ). The connecting seat 12 is sleeved on the upper and lower ends of the connecting pipe 22 of the valve body 2. The bottom plate 3 is located on the side of the valve body 2 opposite to the connecting seat 12 and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 12, so as to fixedly connect the valve body sleeve 1 to the valve body 2.
