Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of butterfly valves, and particularly relates to a valve seat structure of a high-performance butterfly valve. Background Technique

[0002] With the advent of synthetic rubber, the butterfly valve has evolved from a pipeline baffle valve that did not require sealing to a centerline butterfly valve. To eliminate the potential leakage risk caused by non-uniform wear of the rubber valve seat, engineers have developed single-eccentric and double-eccentric butterfly valves. As an important pressure-control component for achieving sealing in an eccentric butterfly valve, in order to meet the performance requirements under different working conditions and the requirements of medium compatibility, the structures of valve seats are also diverse. Generally, the valve seat of a butterfly valve is composed of a U-shaped sealing ring and the sealing surface of the disc to form a soft sealing pair, and its sealing performance is relatively good. However, when the U-shaped sealing ring is squeezed by the disc, it will produce axial deformation, resulting in a reduction in the sealing specific pressure of the sealing pair and affecting the sealing performance. Moreover, during the use of the valve seat, it can generally only be fixedly installed in accordance with one type of flange, making the installation of the valve seat lack flexibility and its versatility is relatively narrow. For this reason, we have proposed a valve seat structure of a high-performance butterfly valve. Content of the Utility Model

A plurality of first springs are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the U-shaped sealing ring, one end of each first spring abuts against the butterfly valve seat, and a plurality of straight sliding grooves are penetrated and opened on the butterfly valve seat. An adjusting seat that can move to adapt to different flange connections is movably connected in the straight sliding grooves.

[0005] Optionally, the extension line of the moving track of the adjusting seat in the straight sliding groove intersects with the center line of the butterfly valve seat, and a round hole is penetrated through the middle of the adjusting seat.

[0006] Optionally, a bolt is inserted into the round hole on the adjusting seat, and the bolt can be connected to the flange.

[0007] Optionally, the bolt includes a polygonal abutting end and a threaded connection end with threads. A polygonal groove corresponding to the abutting end is opened on one side of the adjusting seat. The abutting end is located in the polygonal groove, and the threaded connection end passes through the adjusting seat.

[0008] Optionally, sliding auxiliary plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the adjusting seat. The sliding auxiliary plates extend into both sides of the straight sliding groove and are movably connected thereto.

[0009] Optionally, positioning pins are movably connected to both sides of the sliding auxiliary plate. One end of each positioning pin extends into the sliding auxiliary plate and is fixedly connected to a second spring, and one end of the second spring is fixed inside the sliding auxiliary plate.

[0010] Optionally, the other end of the positioning pin extends out of the sliding auxiliary plate and is circular. A plurality of circular grooves that can be inserted into the circular end of the positioning pin are formed in the straight sliding groove.

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , a valve seat structure of a high-performance butterfly valve, including a butterfly valve seat 1. A butterfly valve plate 2 is installed inside the butterfly valve seat 1, and a U-shaped sealing ring 6 for sealing between the butterfly valve seat 1 and the butterfly valve plate 2 is installed on the butterfly valve seat 1. A plurality of first springs 10 are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the U-shaped sealing ring 6. Under the action of the elastic force of the first springs 10, a buffer space can be given to the U-shaped sealing ring 6, so that the pressure borne by the U-shaped sealing ring 6 can be dispersed, thereby reducing the wear of the U-shaped sealing ring 6 and greatly improving the service life of the U-shaped sealing ring 6. Under the action of the elastic force of the first springs 10, when the U-shaped sealing ring 6 is worn, under the action of the elastic force of the first springs 10, the U-shaped sealing ring 6 can still be pushed into contact with the butterfly valve plate 2 to ensure the sealing performance therebetween. One end of the first spring 10 abuts against the butterfly valve seat 1, and a plurality of straight chutes 5 are penetrated and opened on the butterfly valve seat 1. An adjusting seat 4 that can move to adapt to different flange connections is movably connected in the straight chutes 5. The adjusting seat 4 can move along a fixed track in the straight chutes 5, so as to adapt to the connection positions of different flanges.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the extension line of the moving track of the adjusting seat 4 in the straight chutes 5 intersects with the center line of the butterfly valve seat 1, so that the plurality of adjusting seats 4 can be adjusted correspondingly to adapt to different diameters, and a round hole is penetrated through the middle of the adjusting seat 4.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , a bolt is inserted into the round hole on the adjusting seat 4. The bolt can be connected to the flange. The bolt passes through the flange and is fixed by a nut, so as to connect the butterfly valve seat 1 and the flange.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the bolt includes a multi-faceted abutting end 9 and a threaded connection end 3 with threads. A multi-faceted groove corresponding to the abutting end 9 is opened on one side of the adjusting seat 4. The abutting end 9 is located in the multi-faceted groove, and the threaded connection end 3 passes through the adjusting seat 4. Under the limitation of the multi-faceted groove, the U-shaped sealing ring 6 can be relatively fixed, avoiding deflection during the screwing of the nut, so that the screwing of the nut is more smooth.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , on both sides of the adjusting seat 4, there are sliding auxiliary plates 7 fixedly connected. The sliding auxiliary plates 7 extend into both sides of the straight chute 5 and are movably connected thereto. Under the limitation of the sliding auxiliary plates 7, the movement of the adjusting seat 4 is more stable.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , on both sides of the sliding auxiliary plate 7, there are positioning pins 8 movably connected. The positioning pins 8 can move along a fixed track on the sliding auxiliary plate 7. One end of the positioning pin 8 extends into the sliding auxiliary plate 7 and is fixedly connected with a second spring 11. One end of the second spring 11 is fixed inside the sliding auxiliary plate 7. Under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 11, the positioning pin 8 can extend out of the sliding auxiliary plate 7 and contact the inner wall of the straight chute 5.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the other end of the positioning pin 8 extends out of the sliding auxiliary plate 7 and is circular. In the straight chute 5, there are a plurality of circular grooves that can be inserted into the circular end of the positioning pin 8. When the positioning pin 8 is inserted into the circular groove, the positioning of the adjusting seat 4 is realized. Through the circular connection, the positioning pin 8 can be separated from the circular groove to ensure the smooth adjustment of the adjusting seat 4. When the adjusting seat 4 moves, the positioning pin 8 can completely extend into the sliding auxiliary plate 7, so that the sliding auxiliary plate 7 will not hinder the movement of the adjusting seat 4, thus ensuring the smooth movement of the positioning pin 8.

[0029] In summary, for the seat structure of this high-performance butterfly valve, during use, when the butterfly valve plate 2 rotates to open and close, it contacts the U-shaped sealing ring 6. Under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 10, a buffer space can be given to the U-shaped sealing ring 6, so that the pressure borne by the U-shaped sealing ring 6 can be dispersed, the wear of the U-shaped sealing ring 6 can be reduced, and the service life of the U-shaped sealing ring 6 can be greatly improved. Under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 10, when the U-shaped sealing ring 6 wears, under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 10, the U-shaped sealing ring 6 can still be pushed to contact the butterfly valve plate 2 to ensure the sealing performance therebetween. When connecting with different flanges, move the adjusting seat 4 so that the adjusting seat 4 can be adjusted to adapt to the diameters of different flanges. When the adjusting seat 4 moves, the positioning pin 8 can move into the sliding auxiliary plate 7. After the adjustment is completed, the positioning pin 8 can be inserted into the circular groove under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 11 to determine the position of the adjusting seat 4. Then, pass the threaded connection end 3 through the adjusting seat 4, insert the abutting end 9 into the polygonal groove, and then install it with the flange.
