This structure makes the gate valve mainly used for cutting off the medium in the pipeline, that is, fully open or fully closed, and is not suitable for regulation and throttling.

[0018] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present utility model provides a mechanically connected gate valve, including: a valve body 3, the upper surface of the valve body 3 is fixedly connected to a cover plate 2 by bolts, the valve stem 1 is slidably connected to the cover plate 2 through a sealing sleeve, and the part of the valve stem 1 located inside the valve body 3 is fixedly connected to a valve plate 10. The two ends of the valve body 3 are symmetrically connected to main flanges 4, and the main flanges 4 are movably connected to fastening plates 6 by long bolts 5. Both ends of the inner cavity of the valve body 3 near the main flanges 4 are fixedly connected to sealing rings 7 through grooves. The middle part of the inner cavity of the valve body 3 is symmetrically connected to valve seats 8. At the same time, a sealing gasket 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the valve seat 8 away from the sealing ring 7. At the same time, limiting plates 12 are symmetrically connected to both sides of the middle part of the inner cavity of the valve body 3, and limiting grooves 11 are correspondingly opened at the positions of both sides of the valve plate 10 opposite to the limiting plates 12.

[0019] In this embodiment, when the gate valve is connected to a pipeline, the connecting end of the pipeline is embedded into the inner cavity of the valve body 3 and abuts against the sealing ring 7. The sub-flange fixedly connected to the outer side surface of the pipeline abuts against the main flange 4 connected to the valve body 3. Then, the fastening plate 6 sleeved on the pipeline in advance is moved to the vicinity of the sub-flange, and the long bolt 5 is sequentially passed through the through holes correspondingly opened in the fastening plate 6, the sub-flange, and the main flange 4, and the threaded end of the long bolt 5 is screwed with a nut, thereby realizing the sealing performance and the stability of the connection at the connection between the gate valve and the pipeline. After that, when the gate valve needs to be opened, the valve plate 10 is driven to move upward by the valve stem 1, thereby releasing the blockage of the valve plate 10 on the valve seat 8 and the sealing gasket 9, so that the two ends of the gate valve are communicated, and thus the fluid in the pipeline can smoothly pass through the gate valve. When the valve plate 10 is in a fully open state, the surface of the valve plate 10 still abuts against the surfaces of the sealing gasket 9 and the sealing layer 14, which is convenient for the subsequent closing of the gate valve.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the two fastening plates 6 movably connected to both ends of the valve body 3 by long bolts 5 are both of square structures, and the corners of the outer side surfaces of the fastening plates 6 are of arc structures. A through hole is correspondingly opened in the middle part of the fastening plate 6 relative to the inner cavity of the valve body 3. The through hole is of a circular structure, and at the same time, the size of the through hole is adapted to the inner cavity of the valve body 3.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2, The cooperation between the fastening plate 6 and the long bolt 5 can assist in enhancing the sealing performance and stability of the connection between the gate valve and the pipeline, and can further reduce the probability of accidental leakage between the pipeline and the gate valve.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the setting of the sealing ring 7 enables the end face of the pipeline to abut against the sealing ring 7 when the connecting end of the pipeline is inserted into the valve body 3, thereby assisting in enhancing the sealing performance at the connection between the pipeline and the gate valve.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the two valve seats 8 fixedly connected in the middle of the inner cavity of the valve body 3 are both of an annular structure, and the inner diameter of the valve seat 8 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sealing ring 7. A receiving groove is opened above the middle of the inner cavity of the valve body 3, and the receiving groove is of a square structure. At the same time, the valve body 3 as a whole is of a T-shaped structure.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the setting of the valve seat 8 enables the sealing gasket 9, the sealing layer 14 and the valve plate 10 to be smoothly arranged in the receiving groove, thereby ensuring good on-off effect of the gate valve when the valve plate 10 is opened and closed, and can also assist in enhancing the impact resistance effect of the valve plate 10.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the sealing gasket 9 fixedly connected to the surface of the valve body 3 is of an annular structure, and the axial section of the sealing gasket 9 is of a right trapezoidal structure. The side of the sealing gasket 9 away from the valve seat 8 abuts against the surface of the valve plate 10. At the same time, the inner diameter of the sealing gasket 9 is equal to the inner diameter of the valve seat 8. The lower end of the sealing layer 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sealing gasket 9, and the upper end of the sealing layer 14 is fixedly connected in the receiving groove. And the sealing layer 14 as a whole is of a concave structure, and the groove of the sealing layer 14 is adapted to the arc surface size of the upper surface of the sealing gasket 9.

[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , both the sealing gasket 9 and the sealing layer 14 are made of soft rubber material, which can then enhance the abutting effect between the sealing gasket 9 and the sealing layer 14 and the surface of the valve plate 10, and further assist in enhancing the sealing effect of the valve plate 10 inside the gate valve, thereby assisting in extending the service life of the gate valve.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the valve plate 10 is of a square structure, the lower end of the valve plate 10 is of a semi-circular structure, and the size of the lower end of the valve plate 10 is adapted to the inner cavity of the valve body 3, and the size of the upper end of the valve body 3 is adapted to the size of the receiving groove.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the sizes of the respective parts of the valve plate 10 are adapted to the corresponding positions inside the valve body 3, so that the stability of the valve plate 10 during movement and the sealing performance at the contact surface between the valve plate 10 and the inner cavity of the valve body 3 can be assisted and enhanced. At the same time, the extrusion surface 13 provided at the lower end of the valve plate 10 can reduce the difficulty of the valve plate 10 moving downward to close the gate valve, and can also assist in reducing the wear rate between the valve plate 10, the sealing layer 14 and the sealing gasket 9.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the two sets of limiting plates 12 fixedly connected inside the valve body 3 are both of a strip-shaped structure, and the limiting grooves 11 provided on the side surface of the valve plate 10 are adapted to the size of the limiting plates 12, and the lower surfaces of the two sets of main flanges 4 fixedly connected to both ends of the valve body 3 are both of a flat surface structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the sizes of the limiting plates 12 and the limiting grooves 11 are adapted to each other, which can not only assist in enhancing the stability of the valve plate 10 during movement, but also ensure the sealing performance at the contact surface between the limiting plates 12 and the limiting grooves 11, and can also assist in enhancing the anti-impact effect of the valve plate 10 inside the valve body 3, thereby effectively reducing the probability of damage to the internal structure of the gate valve. The flat surface structure of the lower surface of the main flange 4 facilitates the stable placement of the gate valve.
