Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, and specifically relates to a rubber valve seat for a butterfly valve. Background Technique
[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as 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 continue to expand, and they are developing towards high temperature, high pressure, large diameter, high sealing performance, long life, excellent regulating characteristics, and multi-function of one valve. Its reliability and other performance indicators have reached a relatively high level. With the application of chemically resistant synthetic rubber in butterfly valves, the performance of butterfly valves has been improved. Because 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. Currently, synthetic rubber is mainly used on the valve seats of butterfly valves.
[0003] The rubber valve seat is usually installed in the valve body of the butterfly valve. By using the elasticity of the rubber, the rubber valve seat fits and is inserted into the valve body of the butterfly valve, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the valve body. However, most of the current rubber valve seats of butterfly valves are difficult to disassemble after installation. It is necessary to first disassemble the opening and closing member and the rotating shaft for installing the opening and closing member, which is not convenient for people to maintain and repair the butterfly valve. At the same time, because the rubber valve seat in the butterfly valve is thicker than the butterfly valve, and the thicknesses of rubber valve seats of different specifications are different, the pipe diameters connected to the butterfly valve are different after installation, resulting in different erosion of the rubber valve seat by the water flow, and different service lives of the rubber valve seats. Therefore, there are certain defects in the rubber valve seat. Summary of the Utility Model

The rubber seat fixing mechanism 2 includes a rubber seat 201, a fixing column 202, a bolt 203, a rubber drainage block 204, a hidden cover 205, a buckle groove 206, a connecting block 207, a sliding soft rod 208, a chute 209, a clamping block 210 and a clamping groove 211. A communicating pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the valve body 1 through a flange 3.
[0030] As Figures 1-4 shown, the flange 3 on the communicating pipe 4 and the flange 3 on the valve body 1 are fixed by bolts and nuts.
[0031] As Figures 1-4 shown, the clamping groove 211 is opened on the inner surface of the rubber seat 201, the inner surface of the clamping groove 211 is clamped with the outer surface of the fixing column 202, and the outer surface of the fixing column 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the valve body 1.
[0032] As Figures 1-4 shown, the outer surface of the bolt 203 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the fixing column 202, and the chute 209 is opened on the inner surface of the rubber seat 201.
[0033] As Figure 5 shown, the inner surface of the chute 209 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the clamping block 210, the right side of the clamping block 210 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sliding soft rod 208, and the front surface of the sliding soft rod 208 is fixedly connected to the back surface of the connecting block 207.
