DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0026] Hereinafter, 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.
[0027] In the embodiment, by Figures 1-4Provided is a fire signal butterfly valve with an alarm device. The utility model includes a valve body 1. A valve barrel 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve body 1. A valve seat 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve barrel 2. A valve rod 4 is rotatably connected inside the valve seat 3 and extends through the valve barrel 2 and into the interior of the valve body 1. A butterfly plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the valve rod 4 inside the valve body 1. A worm gear 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the valve rod 4. A worm 7 that meshes with the worm gear 6 is rotatably connected inside the valve seat 3. A contact block 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the valve rod 4. A reaction box 9 corresponding to the contact block 8 is fixedly connected inside the valve seat 3. A rotating rod 10 that penetrates and extends to the outside of the valve seat 3 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the valve rod 4. An indicating needle 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 10.
[0028] Among them, a protective frame 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve seat 3 outside the indicating needle 11. A glass panel 13 is arranged inside the protective frame 12. An indicating line is arranged on the top surface of the valve seat 3.
[0029] In this embodiment, during actual use, after the valve rod 4 rotates, the rotating rod 10 will also drive the indicating needle 11 to rotate, and by comparing the labels on the indicating line, the opening and closing angle of the butterfly plate 5 can be prompted. The protective frame 12 and the glass panel 13 can block the outside of the indicating line and the indicating needle 11, preventing dust accumulation from affecting rotation while not preventing observation of the inside.
[0030] Among them, a handwheel 14 fixedly connected to the worm 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the valve seat 3. Handles 15 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the handwheel 14.
[0031] In this embodiment, during actual use, the combined rotation of the worm gear 6 and the worm 7 can only be rotated through the handwheel 14 and will not rotate reversely under the scouring of water flow on the butterfly plate 5. The combined rotation of the worm gear 6 and the worm 7 requires a certain effort. With the assistance of the handles 15, it is not easy to slip, making its rotation easier. And when the butterfly plate 5 is opened, the handles 15 are on both sides of the handwheel 14. If the rotation angle of the butterfly plate 5 changes, the orientations of the two handles 15 will tilt to a certain extent, making it easier for the inspection personnel to visually observe.
[0032] Among them, the contact block 8 includes a rotating disk 81 fixedly connected to the outer side of the valve rod 4. Two symmetrically distributed touch rods 82 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating disk 81. First metal conductive sheets are arranged on the outer sides of the two touch rods 82.
[0033] In this embodiment, during the actual use process, when the valve stem 4 rotates, the rotating disc 81 will also be driven to rotate. At this time, the touch rod 82 will also rotate. The two touch rods 82 correspond to the two sides of the butterfly plate 5 when it is closed. The width of the touch rod 82 can be appropriately increased or decreased to change the detection range of the position of the butterfly plate 5. When the widths of the two touch rods 82 and the first metal conductive sheet increase, the contact time when the two metal conductive sheets rotate increases, so that the butterfly plate 5 will trigger an alarm when it is closed to a certain angle, to ensure that the butterfly plate 5 remains at a suitable angle and ensure that the water flow passage space is within a reasonable range.
[0034] Among them, the reaction box 9 includes a junction box 91 fixedly connected inside the valve seat 3. The outside of the junction box 91 is fixedly connected with an extension seat 92, and a second metal conductive sheet is fixedly connected inside the extension seat 92.
[0035] In this embodiment, during the actual use process, the junction box 91 is connected to an alarm or a real-time detector through an electrical signal, and the second metal conductive sheet in the extension seat 92 is connected to the junction box 91 through a wire.
[0036] Among them, the extension seat 92 is arranged in a U shape, and the maximum rotation radius of the contact block 8 is greater than the distance from the extension seat 92 to the axis of the valve stem 4.
[0037] In this embodiment, during the actual use process, after the butterfly plate 5 rotates and closes, the first metal conductive sheet will rotate into the extension seat 92. When the two metal conductive sheets come into contact, the junction box 91 transmits the signal through a wire, and under a preset program, the alarm in the control room will give an alarm to remind the monitoring personnel in the control room to check it, and it can also be connected to a monitoring host to monitor information such as the closing time of the butterfly plate 5.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] After the fire signal butterfly valve is installed, the worm 7 can be rotated through the handwheel 14, so that the meshing worm gear 6 rotates, and then drives the butterfly plate 5 to rotate to control the opening and closing of the butterfly plate 5 to the valve body 1. When the butterfly plate 5 is just in the closed state, the indicating needle 11 will give an indication, and the indicating line it points to can be observed through the glass panel 13. At the same time, the touch rod 82 will be inside the extension seat 92. At this time, an electrical signal will be transmitted to the control room to give a reminder. When the butterfly plate 5 rotates, the touch rod 82 slowly moves away from the extension seat 92, then the butterfly plate 5 is in the open state, but at this time the opening angle of the butterfly plate 5 is small. If the width of the touch rod 82 is increased and the contact distance with the extension seat 92 is increased, then after the touch rod 82 moves away from the extension seat 92 and the alarm stops alarming, the opening angle of the butterfly plate 5 will become larger, and this angle can be set according to the specified range of the opening of the butterfly plate 5.
