[0002] A knife gate valve is a device used to control the transportation of powder materials, granular materials, and small pieces of materials, and is widely used in the industrial field. Its principle is to drive the gate plate to reciprocate horizontally through a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder to open and close the gate, thereby realizing the conduction and cutting of material transportation; the connection between the valve body structure and the valve plate driving mechanism of the existing knife gate valve cannot achieve full enclosure, so it is impossible to effectively prevent material leakage, and the leaked materials are likely to cause environmental pollution in the working environment; moreover, when the existing knife gate valve is in use, it often gets stuck due to the presence of particulate matter, resulting in unsmooth and easy jamming of the knife gate switch.

[0003] Chinese Patent (Grant Publication No. CN 220452754 U, Grant Publication Date: February 6, 2024) discloses a knife gate valve device. Although there is a large gap between its upper gate plate and the top plate, and a scraper is provided above the gate plate assembly to drop the accumulated materials, which plays a certain role in avoiding the jamming of the gate plate, the technical solution of guiding the gate plate assembly by using a roller assembly still cannot effectively avoid the adverse situation that the roller body crushes the material particles on the top surface of the upper gate plate, resulting in jamming of the gate plate and unstable operation.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a knife gate valve that can achieve a sealed connection between the valve body and the transmission mechanism, prevent the working environment from being polluted due to material leakage during valve operation, and avoid particulate matter from hindering the movement of the gate plate to effectively prevent the gate plate from jamming is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0044] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, this embodiment provides a flap valve, which includes a valve housing 1. The valve housing 1 has an inner cavity 11. The upper wall of the inner cavity 11 is provided with a feed port 12, and the lower wall of the inner cavity 11 is provided with a discharge port 13. It further includes:

[0045] A gate mechanism 2, which includes a gate assembly 21, a gate guide rail 22, and a gate driving mechanism 23. The gate guide rail 22 is installed in the inner cavity 11 and arranged parallel to the upper wall surface of the inner cavity 11. The lower plate surface of the gate assembly 21 is slidably connected along the length direction of the gate guide rail 22 and fits snugly on the gate guide rail 22. The upper plate surface of the gate assembly 21 slides and fits snugly on the upper wall surface of the inner cavity 11. The fixed end of the gate driving mechanism 23 is sealed and installed on the outer wall of the valve housing 1. The driving end of the gate driving mechanism 23 penetrates the outer wall of the valve housing 1 and extends into the inner cavity 11 and is drivingly connected to the gate assembly 21 to drive the gate assembly 21 to translate, thereby gradually blocking or opening the feed port 12.

[0046] The upper plate surface of the gate assembly 21 of the flap valve in this embodiment fits snugly against the upper wall surface of its inner cavity 11, which can prevent particulate matter from entering and getting stuck. The lower plate surface of the gate assembly 21 slides and fits tightly on the gate guide rail 22, and can sweep the guide rail surface when moving, which can prevent particulate matter from getting stuck on the guide rail surface. The feed port 12, the inner cavity 11, and the discharge port 13 of the flap valve are connected in sequence to form a vertical falling material channel. By controlling the translation of the gate assembly 21 through the gate driving mechanism 23, the feed port 12 can be blocked or opened, and finally the opening and closing of the flap valve can be realized. The flap valve of the present utility model can avoid particulate matter from hindering the movement of the gate and effectively prevent the gate from jamming.

[0047] In some embodiments, the gate assembly 21 includes a left gate 211 and a right gate 212; the gate driving mechanism 23 includes a left gate driving mechanism 231 and a right gate driving mechanism 232;

[0048] The left gate 211 and the right gate 212 are oppositely arranged along the length direction of the gate guide rail 22, and their upper plate surfaces are all slidably and fittingly attached to the upper wall surface of the inner cavity 11, and their lower parts are all slidably connected along the length direction of the gate guide rail 22 and fittingly attached to the upper part of the gate guide rail 22; the left gate driving mechanism 231 and the right gate driving mechanism 232 are symmetrically arranged on two opposite side walls of the valve housing 1; the driving end of the left gate driving mechanism 231 is drivingly connected to the left gate 211, and the driving end of the right gate driving mechanism 232 is drivingly connected to the right gate 212 to drive the left gate 211 and the right gate 212 to slide along the length direction of the gate guide rail 22 and cooperate to open and close the feed port 12.

[0049] By providing the left gate 211 and the right gate 212 and opening and closing the feed port 12 in the way of the two gates opening in opposite directions, the opening and closing speed of the plug valve can be increased, and the control accuracy of the flow rate is improved.

[0050] In some embodiments, the side end of the left gate 211 close to the right gate 212 has a chamfer to form a first wedge body 2111; the side end of the right gate 212 close to the left gate 211 has a chamfer to form a second wedge body 2121; the first wedge body 2111 and the second wedge body 2121 can abut and overlap vertically.

[0051] When the first wedge body 2111 of the left gate 211 and the second wedge body 2121 of the right gate 212 are abutted and closed in a fitting manner, the closing performance of the gate is improved through the vertically overlapping closing method.

[0052] Specifically, both the left gate 211 and the right gate 212 are rectangular plates. The lower plate surface of the left gate 211 forms a first wedge body 2111 by chamfering near the end of the right gate 212; the upper plate surface of the right gate 212 forms a second wedge body 2121 by chamfering near the end of the left gate 211.

[0053] In some embodiments, a left connecting ear 213 is fixed to the lower plate surface of the left gate 211; a right connecting ear 214 is fixed to the lower plate surface of the right gate 212; the driving end of the left gate driving mechanism 231 is hinged to the left connecting ear 213; the driving end of the right gate driving mechanism 232 is hinged to the right connecting ear 214.

[0054] The driving end of the gate driving mechanism is hinged at the connecting ear on the lower plate surface of the gate, that is, the driving end of the gate driving mechanism is stacked below the gate, and the driving end does not separately occupy the space of the plug valve along the plug translation direction, which can make the overall structure of the plug valve more compact.

[0055] In some embodiments, both the left gate driving mechanism 231 and the right gate driving mechanism 232 are cylinders or hydraulic cylinders.

[0056] Specifically, a piston rod passing through hole is formed in the outer wall of the valve housing 1; the cylinder bodies of the left gate driving mechanism 231 and the right gate driving mechanism 232 are fixed by flanges and are hermetically installed on the outer wall surface of the valve housing 1 through sealing rings. Their piston rods correspondingly penetrate through the piston rod passing through hole in the outer wall of the valve housing 1 and extend into the inner cavity to form a driving end. The end of the piston rod located in the inner cavity is hinged to the corresponding connecting ear through a pin shaft. Since the cylinder bodies of the left gate driving mechanism 231 and the right gate driving mechanism 232 seal the corresponding piston rod passing through holes, it can prevent the material in the valve housing 1 from leaking from the piston rod passing through holes.

[0057] In some embodiments, there are two gate guide rails 22, and the two gate guide rails 22 are arranged horizontally opposite to each other, and the feed inlet 12 and the discharge outlet 13 are arranged corresponding to the space between the two gate guide rails 22.

[0058] The two gate guide rails 22 are located on both sides of the discharge outlet 13 in the horizontal direction, that is, not directly below the discharge outlet 13, which can prevent the falling of material particles from being blocked.

[0059] In some embodiments, the gate guide rail 22 is a rectangular gate guide rail, and one of its long edges is arranged corresponding to the upper wall surface of the inner cavity 11, so as to form a triangular gate guide rail surface 221 above the gate guide rail 22; a triangular chute 2151 adapted to the triangular gate guide rail surface 221 is formed along the length direction of the lower end of the gate assembly 21; the inner wall surface of the triangular chute 2151 is slidably attached to the triangular gate guide rail surface 221.

[0060] The rectangular gate guide rail has higher structural strength. By using two adjacent side surfaces of the rectangular gate guide rail as the guide rail surfaces and forming the triangular gate guide rail surface 221, it can prevent material particles from accumulating on the guide rail surface; the inner wall surface of the triangular chute 2151 is slidably attached to the triangular gate guide rail surface 221, so as to play a role of scraping the guide rail surface during sliding and avoid jamming.

[0061] Specifically, the gate assembly 21 includes a left gate 211 and a right gate 212. On the lower plate surfaces of the left gate 211 and the right gate 212, two strip-shaped sliders 215 are fixed along the length direction of the gate guide rail 22; the two strip-shaped sliders 215 are arranged in parallel and spaced relative to each other; at the bottom end of each strip-shaped slider 215, a triangular chute 2151 adapted to the triangular gate guide rail surface 221 is provided along the length direction of the gate guide rail 22; at both ends of the left gate 211 and the right gate 212 in the sliding direction and corresponding to the two open ends of the triangular chute 2151, a guide rail seal adapted to the triangular gate guide rail surface 221 is fixedly installed by screws. The guide rail seal slides and fits on the triangular gate guide rail surface 221 and can slide and sweep along the length direction of the triangular gate guide rail surface 221 to further prevent materials or impurity particles from entering the fitting gap between the triangular chute 2151 and the triangular gate guide rail surface 221. The guide rail seal is made of rubber and can be selected from existing products or customized.

[0062] In some embodiments, a filling groove 2211 is provided on the triangular gate guide rail surface 221, and a graphite body for lubricating the triangular gate guide rail surface 221 is filled in the filling groove 2211.

[0063] The graphite body filled in the filling groove 2211 can play a role in lubricating the guide rail surface, further improving the smoothness of the opening and closing of the gate; and as the guide rail surface is gradually worn, the graphite body in the filling groove 2211 can continuously play a role in lubricating the guide rail surface, improving the durability of the knife gate valve.

[0064] Specifically, the gate guide rail 22 can be made of square steel pipes. Square through holes for inserting the gate guide rail 22 are provided on the opposite side walls of the valve housing 1. During installation, the two ends of the gate guide rail 22 are respectively inserted into the corresponding square through holes and fixed in the square through holes on the wall of the valve housing 1 by welding. Inserting the two ends of the gate guide rail 22 into the square through holes on the side wall of the valve housing 1 improves the support strength of the guide rail.

[0065] In some embodiments, an upper connecting flange 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the valve housing 1 corresponding to the feed inlet 12, and a lower connecting flange 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the valve housing 1 corresponding to the discharge outlet 13.

[0066] The upper connecting flange 14 facilitates the connection of the upper input pipeline; the lower connecting flange 15 facilitates the connection of the lower output pipeline, improving the installation convenience of the knife gate valve.

[0067] In some embodiments, the lower part of the valve housing 1 is funnel-shaped.

[0068] Specifically, the valve housing 1 is made by welding steel plates.

[0069] The lower part of the valve housing 1 being funnel-shaped facilitates the discharge of the material particles in the inner cavity from the discharge outlet 13.
