[0014] Advantages of the present utility model: Through a novel valve seat structure, including an elastic sealing ring and an elastic annular scraper, the cross-sections of the front ends of the elastic sealing ring and the elastic annular scraper are arc-shaped and extend in opposite directions respectively. When the valve plate moves up and down, the elastic annular scraper can scrape off sediment, particulate matter, etc. attached to the surface of the valve plate, keeping the valve plate clean and extending the service life of the valve. The elastic sealing ring provides elastic sealing compensation for the sealing surface, so that it always maintains a seal with the valve plate, ensuring the reliability of the valve seal. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 1 is a schematic structural view of an embodiment of the present utility model;

[0016] Figure 2 is Figure 1 a partial enlarged view of DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0017] The embodiments of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0018] As Figure 1-2 shown, a self-cleaning pulp knife gate valve includes a valve body 1, a valve plate 3, a valve stem 8, and a driving mechanism 15. The valve body 1 is provided with a medium flow channel 4. The valve plate 3 is inserted into the medium flow channel 4. A through groove 35 is provided at the upper end of the valve body 1. The upper end of the valve plate 3 passes through the through groove 35 and is connected to the valve stem 8. A connecting member 7 is provided at the lower end of the valve stem 8. The valve plate 3 is connected to the connecting member 7 through a cross pin 6. The upper end of the valve stem 8 is connected to the driving mechanism 15. A valve seat assembly 5 is provided in the medium flow channel 4. The valve seat assembly 5 includes an elastic sealing ring 32 and an elastic annular scraper 33. The cross-sections of the front ends of the elastic sealing ring 32 and the elastic annular scraper 33 are arc-shaped and extend in opposite directions respectively. When the valve plate moves up and down, the elastic annular scraper 33 can scrape off sediment, particulate matter, etc. attached to the surface of the valve plate 3, keeping the valve plate 3 clean and extending the service life of the valve. Since the front end of the elastic sealing ring 32 is arc-shaped, it can provide elastic sealing compensation for the sealing surface, so that it always maintains a seal with the valve plate 3, ensuring the reliability of the valve seal.

[0019] In this embodiment, an elastic annular scraper 33 is arranged inside the elastic sealing ring 32. The front end of the elastic annular scraper 33 extends towards the central axis direction of the medium channel 4, and the front end of the elastic sealing ring 32 extends away from the central axis direction of the medium channel 4, forming a "Y" shape. When the valve plate moves up and down, due to the bending direction of the elastic annular scraper 33, the scraped sediment and the like will fall into the medium channel 4 and be transported to the downstream together with the medium. The elastic sealing ring 32 arranged outside the elastic annular scraper 33 can effectively ensure the sealing of the valve.

[0020] In this embodiment, the valve body 1 is provided with a mounting groove, and a first elastic pad 31 and a second elastic pad 34 are arranged in the mounting groove. The elastic sealing ring 32 and the tail end of the elastic annular scraper 33 are closely attached and installed between the first elastic pad 31 and the second elastic pad 34. When the elastic sealing ring 32 is subjected to a large medium force, this medium force may break through the elastic force of the elastic sealing ring and cause leakage. The elastic pad can provide buffering for the tail end of the elastic sealing ring to ensure the sealing performance under high-pressure environments.

[0021] In this embodiment, a limiting convex block 2 is provided on one side of the valve plate 3 relative to the sealing surface. The sum of the widths of the limiting convex block 2 and the valve plate 3 is greater than the width of the through groove 35, so that part of the valve plate 3 will not always be located in the medium channel, preventing the valve plate 3 from shifting upward above the through groove 35 and unable to close the valve normally.

[0022] In this embodiment, a valve cover 11 is provided on the valve body 1. The valve cover 11 and the valve body 1 are detachably connected by bolts 10, which is convenient for the installation of the valve plate and the valve rod. The knife gate valve equipped with the valve cover is more suitable for slurry media. A sealing gasket 9 is arranged between the valve cover 11 and the valve body 1 to prevent the medium from leaking through the gap between the valve cover 11 and the valve body 1. A bracket 14 is arranged between the valve cover 11 and the driving mechanism 15. The bracket 14 provides support for the driving mechanism 15 to ensure its stability during operation. A packing 12 is arranged between the valve cover 11 and the valve rod 8, and a packing gland 13 is arranged above the packing 12. The packing gland 13 is connected to the valve cover 11 by bolts and compresses the packing 12 to prevent the medium from leaking through the gap between the valve cover 11 and the valve rod 8, ensuring the reliability of the valve sealing.

[0023] The embodiments should not be construed as limitations of the present invention. Any non-creative improvements based on the spirit of the present invention should be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
