Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of valves, and particularly relates to a double-sealed butterfly valve. Background Art
[0002] The sealing pair of a traditional two-way sealed butterfly valve generally consists of a metal and a non-metal / graphite sealing pair. When the non-metal / graphite is worn and leaks, the sealing performance of the metal sealing pair is very poor, and it cannot even seal, lacking a true double-sealing function. Especially in petrochemical and chemical flammable and corrosive media, the traditional sealing ring is integrally formed by rolling polytetrafluoroethylene and stainless steel. The sealing relies on forced sealing of the polytetrafluoroethylene. Once the polytetrafluoroethylene is damaged, the stainless steel cannot seal reliably, resulting in leakage. For example, the double-sealed butterfly valve with the patent number CN200720109884.X includes a valve body, a valve seat, a valve stem, a butterfly plate, and a transmission mechanism. The valve seat sealing surface consists of a metal valve seat sealing surface and a non-metal valve seat sealing surface to form a double-valve seat sealing surface structure. When the valve is closed, first, the non-metal valve seat sealing surface contacts and cooperates with the butterfly plate sealing surface for sealing. As the pressure increases, the non-metal valve seat sealing surface is squeezed by the butterfly plate sealing surface, so that the butterfly plate sealing surface cooperates with both the metal valve seat sealing surface and the non-metal valve seat sealing surface for sealing, forming a double-sealing structure. The main disadvantages of the prior art are: during frequent opening and closing processes, the non-metal valve seat sealing ring is very easy to lose plasticity after being compressed or aged, losing its sealing performance. The metal valve seat sealing ring and the butterfly plate sealing surface are in a hard-to-hard contact, with very poor sealing performance, even leading to leakage, and it cannot be applied to high-temperature and two-way medium working conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Aiming at the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model develops a double-sealed butterfly valve with a double elastic sealing function of the valve seat, forming an elastic automatic compensation sealing pair with the butterfly plate sealing surface, realizing two-way sealing, fire prevention, and reliable sealing performance.
[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0005] A double-sealed butterfly valve includes a valve body, a valve seat, a butterfly plate, a valve stem, and a transmission mechanism.

The butterfly plate sealing surface and the valve seat sealing surface cooperate with each other to form a conical sealing pair. The valve seat is fixedly installed on the radial inner step of the valve body channel by a compression ring; the feature is that: the valve seat consists of a main sealing seat and a sub-sealing seat to form an elastic double-valve seat structure; the main sealing seat uses a lip-shaped sealing ring and is fixedly installed on the radial inner step of the valve body channel by a compression ring to form a two-way elastic soft sealing seat, and the sub-sealing seat uses a stainless steel sealing ring and is press-fitted between the lip-shaped sealing ring and the radial inner step of the valve body channel to form a two-way elastic hard sealing seat.

The annular inner shoulder abuts against the middle part of the outer cylindrical surface of the cylindrical step, and the outer cylindrical surface of the lip seal ring is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the second inner hole of the pressure ring; an annular groove is provided in the annular plane between the cylindrical step of the lip seal ring and the outer cylindrical surface of the lip seal ring, and an axial annular shoulder extending along the inner wall of the first inner hole is provided in the right-side plane of the pressure ring, and the axial annular shoulder is fitted into the annular groove; a U-shaped groove is provided on the left side of the stainless steel seal ring, and the U-shaped groove is pressed on the radial inner step of the valve body through the annular boss on the right side of the lip seal ring.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: The valve seat is composed of a main sealing seat of a double-way elastic soft sealing seat and a sub-sealing seat of a double-way elastic hard sealing seat to form an elastic double-valve seat structure. In the forward working state, the forward medium pressure pushes the sealing surface of the butterfly plate to be tightly fitted with both the main sealing seat and the sub-sealing seat to form a double-sealing pair structure; in the reverse working state, the reverse medium pressure pushes the lip seal ring and the stainless steel seal ring to deform towards the butterfly plate and be tightly fitted with the sealing surface of the butterfly plate to form a double-sealing pair structure; when a high-temperature accident occurs and the lip seal ring of the main sealing seat is burned out, the stainless steel seal ring of the sub-sealing seat and the sealing surface of the butterfly plate form a hard-sealing structure. It has the advantages of good fireproof performance and reliable double-way sealing performance. Description of the Drawings
