Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline supplies, in particular to a self-made simple gate valve opening tool. Background Art

[0002] The gate valves on outdoor water supply pipelines are relatively large, usually located in manholes, and are prone to rusting after a long time, making it extremely difficult to open.

[0003] During pipeline emergency repairs, maintenance personnel need to enter narrow manholes and manually rotate the gate valve handwheel to perform the opening and closing operations of the gate valve. The manholes are narrow, humid, and have a harsh environment. Sometimes, several people even need to enter the manhole to operate together, which is very inconvenient. To solve the above technical problems, a self-made simple gate valve opening tool is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a self-made simple gate valve opening tool, which solves the technical problems that during pipeline emergency repairs, maintenance personnel need to enter narrow manholes and manually rotate the gate valve handwheel to perform the opening and closing operations of the gate valve. The manholes are narrow, humid, and have a harsh environment. Sometimes, several people even need to enter the manhole to operate together, which is very inconvenient.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A self-made simple gate valve opening tool includes a valve handle handwheel and a connecting rod. The valve handle handwheel is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod. The connecting rod is a hollow circular tube, and a group of round rods are fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod. Among them, there are five round rods in total, and a U-shaped fork is fixedly connected to the midpoint position of each round rod.

[0007] Preferably: The axes of the five round rods are perpendicular to the connecting rod and are evenly distributed in a central radiation pattern.

[0008] Preferably: The opening of each U-shaped fork faces downward.

[0009] Preferably: A ring-shaped flat iron is welded to the outer circles of the five round rods.

[0010] Preferably: The valve handle handwheel is composed of a grip ring and five grip rods.

[0011] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] During pipeline emergency repairs, maintenance personnel do not need to enter the manhole. Open the manhole cover and lower the tool of the utility model into the well, then the opening and closing operations of the gate valve can be carried out on the ground. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. In addition, the radius of the valve handle handwheel of the utility model is larger than the arrangement radius of the U-shaped forks, increasing the rotation radius, which can effectively save effort. Since the valve handle handwheel is placed outside and is not restricted by space, multiple people can operate it together. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0013] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present utility model. In order to better understand the technical means of the present utility model and be able to implement it according to the content of the description, the following will describe in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and the accompanying drawings as follows.

[0014] Figure 1 It is the overall structure diagram of the present utility model;

[0015] Figure 2 It is the structure diagram of the U-shaped fork in the present utility model.

[0016] Legend: 1. Valve handle handwheel; 2. Connecting rod; 3. Ring-shaped flat iron; 4. Round rod; 5. U-shaped fork. Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

[0017] By providing a self-made simple gate valve opening tool in the embodiment of the present application, it effectively solves the technical problem that when repairing pipelines, maintenance personnel need to enter a narrow manhole, manually rotate the gate valve handwheel to perform the opening and closing operation of the gate valve. The manhole is narrow and humid, and the environment is harsh. Sometimes several people even need to enter the manhole to operate together, which is very inconvenient. Embodiment

[0018] The general idea of the technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0019] As Figure 1-2 shown, in view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present utility model provides a self-made simple gate valve opening tool, including a valve handle handwheel 1 and a connecting rod 2. The valve handle handwheel 1 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 2. The connecting rod 2 is a hollow round tube. A group of round rods 4 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 2. Among them, there are five round rods 4 in total. A U-shaped fork 5 is fixedly connected to the midpoint position of each round rod 4;

[0020] The axes of the five round rods 4 are perpendicular to the connecting rod 2 and are evenly distributed in a central radiation pattern. The opening of each U-shaped fork 5 faces downward and has a taper. A ring-shaped flat iron 3 is welded to the outer circle of the five round rods 4 to make the overall structure more stable. The valve handle handwheel 1 is composed of a grip ring and five grip rods.

[0021] Working principle: When in use, rotating the valve handle handwheel 1 can transmit the torque to the gate valve handwheel to realize the opening and closing of the gate valve.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given to clearly illustrate the present utility model, rather than limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
