[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] This embodiment provides a longitudinal adjustment structure for a butterfly valve stem. As Figures 1 - 3 shown, this longitudinal adjustment structure for a butterfly valve stem includes a valve body 1 and a valve stem 3 rotatably installed on the valve body 1.

[0026] A valve cover 2 sleeved outside the valve stem 3 is fixedly installed at the top end of the valve body 1 through an inner hexagon bolt 21. A sealing shaft sleeve 5 that axially moves along the valve stem 3 penetrates through the center of the valve cover 2. At the position of the outer wall of the sealing shaft sleeve 5 inside the valve cover 2, there is a shaft sleeve ring wing 51. On the side of the shaft sleeve ring wing 51 close to the valve body 1, there is a sealing gasket 6 adhesively connected to the inner wall of the valve cover 2. Four adjusting bolts 7 distributed in a circular array are screwed on the top of the valve cover 2, and the bottom ends of the adjusting bolts 7 are all in contact with the top surface of the shaft sleeve ring wing 51.

[0027] The sealing shaft sleeve 5 is sleeved outside the valve stem 3 and is rotatably connected to the valve stem 3. The outer wall of the valve stem 3 has a valve stem ring wing 31, and a ring groove for accommodating the valve stem ring wing 31 is provided on the inner wall of the sealing shaft sleeve 5.

[0028] A pentagonal socket 32 is provided at the top end of the valve stem 3, and an extension rod 4 for connecting to the output end of an external driving device is inserted into the pentagonal socket 32.

[0029] When in use, when it is necessary to adjust the longitudinal position of the valve stem 3 to improve the seal, by rotating the adjusting bolt 7, the adjusting bolt 7 is pushed deeper into the valve cover 2, thereby pushing the shaft sleeve ring wing 51 to move axially, thereby pushing the sealing shaft sleeve 5 to move axially, and pressing the sealing gasket 6 through the shaft sleeve ring wing 51. Since the sealing shaft sleeve 5 is rotatably connected to the valve stem 3, and the valve stem 3 is restricted by the valve stem ring wing 31 and the ring groove structure, the movement of the sealing shaft sleeve 5 will drive a slight adjustment of the valve stem 3 in the axial direction without changing its rotational freedom. Therefore, the tension of the valve stem 3 can be adjusted without disassembling the end cover. By rotating the adjusting bolt 7, the fine adjustment of the valve stem 3 in the axial direction can be realized, which greatly simplifies the adjustment steps and improves the maintenance efficiency.

[0030] Further, the top end of the valve cover 2 is fixedly connected with a fixing frame 8 for supporting and fixing the driving device through a support rod 81. The center of the fixing frame 8 has a relief hole for the extension rod 4 to pass through. By fixing the fixing frame 8 to the top end of the valve cover 2 through the support rod 81, a stable support platform is provided for the external driving device, which not only enhances the stability of the driving device during operation but also reduces looseness and failures caused by factors such as vibration. The relief hole in the center of the fixing frame ensures that the extension rod 4 can pass through smoothly and be connected to the driving device.

[0031] Further, a spring 9 is sleeved outside the sealing bushing 5, and both ends of the spring 9 are in contact with the top surface of the bushing ring wing 51 and the inner wall of the top end of the valve cover 2 respectively. The continuous force exerted by the spring 9 can ensure that the bushing ring wing 51 always presses tightly against the sealing gasket 6 and plays a buffering role when subjected to external force impacts, protecting the valve stem 3 and the sealing structure from damage and ensuring a good sealing effect.

[0032] Furthermore, a lock nut 71 sleeving the adjusting bolt 7 is rotatably connected to the top end of the valve cover 2, and the lock nut 71 is screwed with the adjusting bolt 7. By rotatably connecting the lock nut 71 outside the adjusting bolt 7 and screwing it with the adjusting bolt 7, in this way, after the adjustment is completed, the position of the adjusting bolt 7 can be fixed by tightening the lock nut 71 to prevent it from loosening due to factors such as vibration during operation, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of the adjustment.

[0033] It should be noted that the thickness of the bushing ring wing 51 is less than the height inside the valve cover 2; this ensures the movement space of the bushing ring wing 51 inside the valve cover 2 and provides a basis for realizing the longitudinal adjustment of the valve stem 3.

[0034] In addition, O-ring seals are provided at both ends of the sealing bushing 5. By providing O-ring seals at both ends of the sealing bushing 5, the sealing performance between the sealing bushing and the valve cover can be further enhanced, which helps prevent the medium from leaking from the sealing part and improves the overall sealing performance and working reliability of the valve.

[0035] The above is only the preferred specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application, according to the technical solution and its concept of the present application, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
