[0002] In the field of gate valve technology, as a commonly used fluid control device, the sealing performance of a gate valve is directly related to its performance and lifespan. Traditional gate valve sealing structures often use a single sealing method, such as a gasket or sealing ring. However, this single sealing method is prone to problems such as loose sealing and leakage during actual use due to factors such as fluid pressure and temperature fluctuations, as well as wear caused by long-term use, thus affecting the normal use and lifespan of the gate valve.

[0003] To address this issue, various improvements have been attempted, such as using higher-performance sealing materials and optimizing sealing structures. However, these methods can only improve sealing performance to a certain extent, but cannot fundamentally solve the problem of loose sealing. Therefore, we propose a gate valve sealing structure.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figures 1-4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A gate valve sealing structure includes a valve housing 1, with a transmission channel 10 provided inside the valve housing 1, a sealing channel 11 provided in the middle of the transmission channel 10, a sealing block 12 that can move up and down provided in the sealing channel 11, an inner pressure rod 13 rotatably mounted on the top of the sealing block 12, an outer pressure rod 14 provided outside the inner pressure rod 13, the outer wall of the inner pressure rod 13 being threadedly connected to the inner wall of the outer pressure rod 14, a fixing sleeve 2 fixedly connected to the top of the valve housing 1 by bolts, a first drive rod 3 being threadedly connected to the fixing sleeve 2, a second drive rod 4 being threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first drive rod 3, the first drive rod 3 and the second drive rod 4 being plug-connected to the outer pressure rod 14 and the inner pressure rod 13, respectively, and the outer wall of the outer pressure rod 14 being threadedly connected to the valve housing 1. The sealing function is achieved by the sealing channel 11 in the valve housing 1 and the sealing block 12 that can move up and down. The threaded connection between the inner and outer push-down rods 13 and 14, as well as the plug-in connection between the first and second drive rods 3 and 4, allows the upward and downward movement of the sealing block 12 to be controlled, thereby controlling the sealing state of the channel. This structural design makes the gate valve's sealing performance more reliable and easier to operate. Furthermore, the inner and outer push-down rods provide a secondary compaction between the sealing block 12 and the sealing channel 11, further enhancing sealing performance.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, a first sealing gasket 110 is fixedly mounted on the inner annular wall of the sealing channel 11, and a second sealing gasket 120 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the sealing block 12. The first sealing gasket 110 and the second sealing gasket 120 are respectively provided on the sealing channel 11 and the sealing block 12, further enhancing the sealing effect and preventing fluid leakage.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sealing block 12 is in the shape of an inverted truncated cone, and the shape and size of the sealing channel 11 are adapted to the sealing block 12. This allows the sealing block 12 to fit more closely with the sealing channel 11 when moving up and down, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first driving plate 30 is coaxially fixed to the first driving rod 3, and a second driving plate 40 is coaxially fixed to the second driving rod 4. This facilitates the rotation operation of the driving rod and makes the upward and downward movement of the sealing block 12 more flexible.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second driving rod 4 extends above the first driving disk 30. This design prevents the second driving rod 4 from interfering with the first driving disk 30 during rotation, thereby ensuring smooth operation of the driving structure.

[0029] As a preferred feature of this embodiment, a first drive block 31 is coaxially fixed to the bottom of the first drive rod 3, and a second drive block 41 is coaxially fixed to the bottom of the second drive rod 4. Both the first drive block 31 and the second drive block 41 are square in shape. This design allows the drive blocks to be more stably inserted into the corresponding drive slots, improving transmission stability and reliability.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, a first drive groove 130 is formed at the top of the outer push rod 14 to match the size of the first drive block 31, and a second drive groove 140 is formed at the top of the inner push rod 13 to match the size of the second drive block 41. The drive grooves formed at the tops of the outer push rod 14 and the inner push rod 13 to match the size of the first drive block 31 and the second drive block 41, respectively, enable the drive blocks to be accurately inserted into the corresponding drive grooves, thereby achieving precise control of the sealing block 12.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, when the fixing sleeve 2 is bolted to the valve housing 1, the first drive block 31 is located in the second drive groove 140, and the second drive block 41 is located in the first drive groove 130. When the fixing sleeve 2 is bolted to the valve housing 1, the first drive block 31 is located in the second drive groove 140, and the second drive block 41 is located in the first drive groove 130. This design ensures that after the gate valve sealing structure is installed, the drive blocks can be accurately aligned with and inserted into the corresponding drive grooves, achieving immediate control of the sealing block 12.

[0032] The gate valve sealing structure of the present invention comprises the following steps when in use:

[0033] Initial state: The gate valve sealing structure is in a non-working state, the sealing block 12 is located in the middle position of the sealing channel 11, the first drive rod 3 and the second drive rod 4 are respectively connected to the valve housing 1 through the fixing sleeve 2, and the first drive block 31 is located in the second drive groove 140, and the second drive block 41 is located in the first drive groove 130.

[0034] Sealing operation: When the gate valve needs to be closed for sealing, the operator first rotates the first drive disk 30. Since the first drive rod 3 is threadedly connected to the fixed sleeve 2, the rotation of the first drive rod 3 will drive the outer downward pressure rod 14 to rotate, causing the first drive rod 3 and the outer downward pressure rod 14 to move downward, thereby driving the sealing block 12 to move downward and seal the sealing channel 11. Then, the second drive rod 4 is screwed, and it drives the inner downward pressure rod 13 to rotate, thereby continuously driving the sealing block 12 to move downward, and tightening the sealing block 12 and the sealing channel 11 for a second time, thereby ensuring the sealing performance.

[0035] Compaction and Sealing: As sealing block 12 moves downward, second sealing gasket 120 on its outer wall comes into close contact with first sealing gasket 110 on the inner wall of sealing channel 11, creating a double seal. Because sealing block 12 is an inverted frustum and the shape and size of sealing channel 11 match, sealing block 12 fits more closely against sealing channel 11 during downward movement, improving sealing performance.

[0036] Opening Operation: To open the gate valve, the operator rotates the first and second drive disks 30, 40 in opposite directions, causing the first and second drive rods 3, 4 to move upward. This upward movement of the first and second drive rods 3, 4 drives the inner and outer push-down rods 13, 14 upward, thereby moving the sealing block 12 upward and out of the sealing passage 11, thereby opening the gate valve.

[0037] In summary, the gate valve sealing structure of the present invention controls the vertical movement of the sealing block 12 by rotating the first and second drive disks 30 and 40, thereby sealing and opening the passage. Furthermore, the internal and external push-down rods 13 and 14, as well as the first and second sealing gaskets 110 and 120, further enhance the sealing effect and prevent fluid leakage.

[0038] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention.
