Specific implementation mode

[0023] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that all the expressions using "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present utility model are for distinguishing two entities or parameters with the same name but different, so "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be understood as a limitation to the embodiments of the present utility model. This will not be elaborated one by one in the subsequent embodiments.

[0025] The direction and position terms mentioned in the present utility model, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, inside, outside, top, bottom, side, etc., are only with reference to the direction or position of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the direction and position terms used are for explaining and understanding the present utility model, rather than a limitation to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] As Figures 3 - 7 shown, a flat gate valve for reducing torque includes a valve body 1, a gate 2, a valve stem 3, a valve cover 4, a bracket 5, a valve stem nut 6, and a nut gland 7. The valve body 1 is connected to the valve cover 4 to form a valve cavity. The gate 2 is located in the valve cavity. The valve stem 3 passes through the valve cover 4 and is in sealing cooperation with the valve cover 4. The bracket 5 is connected above the valve cover 4. As Figure 4 shown, the valve stem nut 6 is threadedly connected to the outside of the valve stem 3 and axially limited between the bracket 5 and the nut gland 7. A spherical end face fit is formed between the upper end face of the valve stem nut 6 and the nut gland 7, and / or a spherical end face fit is formed between the lower end face of the valve stem nut 6 and the bracket 5. The spherical end face fit means that one end face is spherical, and the other mating end face can be a plane, a concave spherical surface or other special shapes. Compared with the flat end face fit, the contact area can be greatly reduced, thereby further reducing the friction when the valve stem nut rotates. Therefore, the torque during the opening and closing of the gate valve can be reduced.

[0027] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, the upper end face 601 of the nut of the valve stem nut 6 protrudes to form a spherical surface, and the corresponding mating surface of the nut gland 7 is a plane; the lower end face 602 of the nut of the valve stem nut 6 protrudes to form a spherical surface, and the corresponding mating surface of the bracket 5 is a plane.

[0028] Furthermore, a first hard alloy surfacing layer 701 is formed on the plane of the nut gland 7 that cooperates with the upper end surface of the valve stem nut 6, and a second hard alloy surfacing layer 501 is formed on the plane of the bracket 5 that cooperates with the lower end surface of the valve stem nut 6. Through hard alloy surfacing, the friction caused by rust is avoided, and the increase in friction caused by rust is further avoided.

[0029] Furthermore, the valve stem 3 includes a driving section 3A, a sealing section 3B, and a connecting section 3C connected in sequence. The driving section 3A is provided with an external thread, and the valve stem nut 6 is in threaded connection and cooperation with the driving section 3A. The sealing section 3B is in sealing cooperation with the valve cover 4, and the connecting section 3C is located between the valve cover 4 and the valve body 1 to be connected to the gate plate 2. The valve stem 3 of this embodiment has a stepped diameter structure, and the outer diameter D of the sealing section 3B is larger than the outer diameter d of the driving section 3A. Compared with the prior art, the outer diameter of the sealing section 3B in this embodiment is increased, so that the stress cross-section of the valve stem is increased, and the thrust of the medium pushing the valve stem outwards is used to offset the friction between the gate plate and the valve seat, achieving a light effect when opening; and the slenderness ratio of the valve stem is reduced, making the processing technology of the valve stem better;

[0030] Furthermore, the sealing section 3B is a hollow structure, which makes the anti-torsion effect of the valve stem better and reduces the weight of the valve stem.

[0031] Furthermore, the valve stem 3 is composed of three rod bodies welded together, and the hollow cylindrical part is welded to both ends to form a hollow sealing section 3B.

[0032] Furthermore, as Figure 7 shown, the sealing structure between the sealing section 3B and the valve cover 4 includes a packing 8, a Y-shaped sealing ring 9, and a sealing ring 10 stacked in sequence from bottom to top.

[0033] The above-disclosed are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Of course, the scope of the rights of the present invention cannot be limited by this. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
