Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of butterfly valves, in particular to an on-line replaceable shaft seal structure for a butterfly valve. Background Technique
[0002] A butterfly valve, also called a flap valve, is a simple regulating valve that uses a disc-shaped opening and closing member to reciprocate and rotate about 90° to open, close or regulate the flow rate of a medium. The valve can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil products, liquid metals and radioactive media. The butterfly valve not only has a simple structure, small size, light weight, low material consumption, small installation size, small driving torque, simple and rapid operation, but also can simultaneously have good flow regulation function and closing and sealing characteristics. It is one of the fastest-developing valve varieties in the past decade or so. The use of butterfly valves is very extensive. The varieties and quantities used are still continuing to expand, and are developing towards high temperature, high pressure, large diameter, high sealing performance, long life, excellent regulation characteristics, and multi-function of one valve. Its reliability and other performance indicators have reached a relatively high level. With the application of chemical-resistant synthetic rubber on butterfly valves, the performance of butterfly valves has been improved. Since synthetic rubber has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, erosion resistance, dimensional stability, good resilience, easy forming, low cost, etc., and different synthetic rubbers with different performances can be selected according to different usage requirements to meet the working conditions of butterfly valves.

[0016] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0017] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0018] In this technical solution, a replaceable shaft seal structure for a butterfly valve online includes a butterfly valve body 6. A valve shaft 1 is assembled inside the butterfly valve body 6. A shoulder 9 is provided between the butterfly valve body 6 and the valve shaft 1. An upper end of the shoulder 9 is provided with a bush shoulder 8. A quick-release hole 7 is assembled at an upper end of the bush shoulder 8. A bush pressing plate 2 is assembled outside the valve shaft 1. A pressing plate fixing screw 3 is assembled between the bush pressing plate 2 and the butterfly valve body 6. An O-ring 4 is sleeved outside the valve shaft 1. A quick-release bush 5 is sleeved outside the valve shaft 1. The butterfly valve body 6 is provided with a fixing hole at the position of the pressing plate fixing screw 3, and a tightening cylinder 17 is installed in the fixing hole. A tightening rod 10 is installed in the tightening cylinder 17. A tightening groove 19 is opened at a bottom end of the pressing plate fixing screw 3. The pressing plate fixing screw 3 is sleeved outside the tightening rod 10 through the tightening groove 19. The tightening cylinder 17 is fixed in the fixing hole, and the tightening rod 10 is installed in the tightening cylinder 17 by means of threaded connection.
[0019] Three limit posts 20 are assembled on an outer wall of the tightening cylinder 17. The three limit posts 20 are distributed in a triangular shape. A spiral groove 21 matching with an external thread of the pressing plate fixing screw 3 is opened on an outer wall of the limit post 20. A tightening nut 18 is sleeved outside the pressing plate fixing screw 3.
[0020] An annular groove 11 is opened at a bottom end of the tightening nut 18. A top end of the limit post 20 is arranged in the annular groove 11.
[0021] A fixed ring 12 is fixedly installed at an upper end outside the pressing plate fixing screw 3. An annular pressing piece 13, a spring 16 and an annular rubber sheet 15 are sleeved on a circumferential surface of the pressing plate fixing screw 3.
[0022] An extrusion block 14 is fixedly mounted on the lower edge of the annular pressing sheet 13 .
[0023] The outer wall of the fastening rod 10 is provided with an external thread, and the inner wall of the fastening cylinder 17 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread.
[0024] The outer diameter of the sleeve shoulder 8 is greater than the inner diameter of the quick-release sleeve 5 .
[0025] Working process and principle: The quick-release sleeve is provided with three inner and outer O-ring grooves, and the quick-release sleeve is provided with a quick-release hole. The three O-rings are installed in the O-ring of the quick-release sleeve, and the quick-release sleeve is installed between the valve shaft and the valve body. The outer diameter of the valve shaft shoulder is larger than the inner diameter of the quick-release sleeve, so that the movement of the valve shaft along the axis to the outside of the valve body is limited by the position of the quick-release sleeve. The sleeve pressure plate is locked on the valve body by the pressure plate fixing screws. The diameter of the center hole of the sleeve pressure plate is larger than the inner diameter of the quick-release sleeve shoulder and smaller than the outer diameter of the quick-release sleeve shoulder, which can limit the movement of the quick-release sleeve along the axis to the outside of the valve body. The purpose of "anti-blowout" of the valve shaft is achieved, that is, the valve shaft will not move along the axis to the outside of the valve body to detach from the valve body shaft hole due to the force of the inner cavity. When replacing the seal, unscrew the fixing screws of the pressure plate, take out the shaft sleeve pressure plate, use a hook-type tool to hook the quick-release hole, pull it toward the outside of the valve body along the axis, pull out the shaft sleeve to replace the O-ring, and then reinstall the shaft sleeve, pressure plate, and screws in sequence.
