Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of expanding flat valves, in particular to a gate plate assembly and an expanding flat gate valve using the assembly. Background Technique
[0002] The flat valve is a key valve widely used in the control of oil, gas and industrial pipelines. It includes a single plate type and a double plate type. The core design feature of the double plate type is the use of a bidirectional expanding seal structure. The main body of the valve consists of a valve body, two parallel gate plates, valve seats and an expanding mechanism, and the flow passage is opened and closed by the vertical lifting of the gate plates.
[0003] This expanding mechanism significantly improves the sealing reliability of the valve under high-pressure and high-wear conditions. With its compact structure, small operating torque, high pressure resistance and convenient maintenance, the flat valve has become the preferred equipment for oil and gas wellhead devices, pipeline cut-off and storage and transportation systems.
[0004] In the prior art, after using the expanding flat gate valve for a period of time, it is often found that the sealing effect becomes poor. After disassembling, it is found that the gate plate will have some serious deformations, and it may further cause the deformation of the valve stem, etc. After research, it is found that the main reason for this phenomenon is that there is no corresponding limiting mechanism on the side of the gate plate. Therefore, the gate plate will have a large side swing during the up and down movement. The side swing of the gate plate will cause the contact with the valve seat sealing surface to shift, resulting in local excessive wear or gaps, destroying the integrity of the sealing line and causing medium leakage. The side swing will also cause uneven stress on the expanding mechanism, insufficient pressing force in some areas. To solve this problem, it is necessary to improve the existing expanding flat gate valve. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a gate plate assembly and an expanding flat gate valve using the assembly, so as to solve the problem that the gate plate of the existing expanding flat gate valve is prone to side swing during operation.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A gate plate assembly includes a main gate plate and a sub - gate plate. The fitting surface between the main gate plate and the sub - gate plate is composed of two inclined surfaces, namely the upper inclined surface and the lower inclined surface. The upper inclined surface and the lower inclined surface are symmetrically arranged with the horizontal plane as the symmetry plane. A connection groove for connecting with the valve stem is provided at the top of the main gate plate. Connecting plates are provided on the sides of the main gate plate and the sub - gate plate. The two sides of the upper end of the connecting plate are connected to the main gate plate and the sub - gate plate respectively through pin shafts, and the lower end of the connecting plate is connected to the swing block and the sub - gate plate through a block pin shaft. A limiting platform is provided on the side of the sub - gate plate opposite to the fitting surface. It also includes a main guide plate and a sub - guide plate for restricting the side swing of the main gate plate and the sub - gate plate. The main guide plate is arranged on the outer end surface of the main gate plate close to the main gate plate end, and the sub - guide plate is arranged on the outer end surface of the sub - gate plate close to the sub - gate plate end. Limiting strips are provided on both sides of the main guide plate and both sides of the sub - guide plate.

[0008] In this solution, a main guide plate and a sub - guide plate for restricting the side swing of the main gate plate and the sub - guide plate are respectively arranged at the outer end surface close to the main gate plate and the outer end surface close to the sub - gate plate. This can effectively prevent the side swing of the main gate plate and the sub - gate plate during the up - and - down movement, effectively reduce the wear of the gate plate, reduce its deformation degree in a short time, and enable the opening - type flat gate valve to maintain a good sealing effect for a long time.
[0009] As a further preference of the present utility model, the limiting platform is detachably connected to the sub - gate plate through bolts.
[0010] It is convenient to replace the limiting platform.
[0011] As a further preference of the present utility model, the cross - section of the limiting strip is in the shape of a right - angled triangle. The two right - angled surfaces of the limiting strip are respectively a connecting surface and a limiting surface.

The limiting surface of the limiting strip for limiting the main gate plate is arranged parallel to the side surface of the main gate plate, and the limiting surface of the limiting strip for limiting the sub - gate plate is arranged parallel to the side surface of the sub - gate plate.
[0012] The cross - section of the limiting strip is in the shape of a right - angled triangle, so the stability of the limit is better and it is not easy to deform.
[0013] As a further preference of the present utility model, ball structures are evenly clamped on the surface of the limiting surface of the limiting strip.
[0014] The rolling - type guiding can effectively reduce the friction force when the main gate plate and the sub - gate plate move up and down, making the resistance smaller and smoother when controlling the movement of the gate plate assembly.
[0015] As a further preference of the present utility model, sealing material replacement grooves are provided at the sealing parts of the main gate sealing surface and the secondary gate sealing surface, and sealing material blocks are detachably provided at the sealing material replacement grooves.
[0016] In this way, different sealing material blocks can be replaced according to the sealed fluid, so that the sealing parts of the main gate sealing surface and the secondary gate sealing surface are not easily corroded, and their service life can be prolonged.
[0017] As a further preference of the present utility model, diversion holes are provided at the lower parts of the main gate and the secondary gate.

The inner end of the hand wheel is connected to the top of the valve rod through a gear assembly. The valve rod is vertically arranged at the central position of the bracket. The lower end of the valve rod passes downward through the valve cover and is connected to the top of the gate plate assembly.
[0019] As a further preference of the present utility model, a packing groove is provided at the top of the valve cover. The packing groove surrounds the valve rod. A fluororubber packing layer, a graphite packing layer and a grease injection packing layer are sequentially arranged in the packing groove. A packing gland is further provided at the notch of the packing groove.
[0020] A multi-packing seal design is adopted to ensure the sealing effect. The packing gland and the valve cover are connected by bolts, and the packing gland can effectively prevent the leakage of the medium.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model can at least achieve one of the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this solution, guide plates for restricting the lateral swing of the main gate and the secondary gate are respectively arranged at the outer end faces close to the main gate and the outer end face close to the secondary gate, so that the lateral swing of the main gate and the secondary gate during the up and down movement can be effectively prevented, the wear of the gate plate can be effectively reduced, the deformation degree within a short time can be reduced, and the better sealing effect of the expanding flat gate valve can be maintained for a long time.
