DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0025] A Y-shaped parallel gate valve comprises a valve body 1 with parallel inlet and outlet openings. A delivery channel 10 is provided within the valve body 1, along with a vertically movable blade 12. A cutoff groove 11 is defined within the valve body 1, which cooperates with the blade 12. The cutoff groove 11 extends vertically through the delivery channel 10, and when the blade 12 reaches its lowest position, it closes the delivery channel 10. A mounting post 3 is located above the valve body 1 and is secured to the top of the valve body 1 by a plurality of external fixing bolts 19. A vertically movable drive block 110 is located within the mounting post 3, and the blade 12 is detachably connected to the bottom of the drive block 110. A movable slot 13 is defined within the valve body 1 for the vertical movement of the drive block 110, extending into the mounting post 3. A screw 20 is threadedly connected to the drive block 110, and a valve motor 2 is mounted on the top of the mounting post 3, with its output shaft coaxially fixed to the screw 20. This invention provides a Y-shaped parallel gate valve with a compact structure and convenient operation. The valve motor 2 drives the screw 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive block 110 and the blade 12 to move up and down, opening and closing the conveying channel 10. The coordinated design of the blade 12 and the cutoff groove 11 ensures excellent sealing performance, suitable for applications requiring strict control of fluid flow. The blade 12 and the drive block 110, as well as the mounting post 3 and the valve body 1, are all fixed with bolts, making them easy to disassemble and facilitate valve repair and maintenance.
[0026] It should be supplemented that an external connection plate 18 is integrally formed on the top of the valve body 1 and is fixed to the mounting column 3 via external fixing bolts 19 .
[0027] As a preferred feature of this embodiment, a sealing gasket 120 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gate blade 12 near the bottom end. The sealing gasket 120 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the cut-off groove 11. The addition of the sealing gasket 120 further improves the sealing performance of the gate valve, preventing fluid leakage when the gate blade 12 is closed, thereby ensuring the reliability and durability of the gate valve.
[0028] As a preferred feature of this embodiment, a lower connecting plate 16 is integrally formed at the top of the blade 12, and an upper connecting plate 112 is integrally formed at the bottom of the driver block 110. The lower connecting plate 16 and the upper connecting plate 112 are securely connected by two symmetrically arranged internal fixing bolts 17. This removable connection facilitates installation and removal of the blade 12 and driver block 110, facilitating maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the secure connection achieved by the internal fixing bolts 17 ensures the stability of the blade 12 during movement.
[0029] As a preferred feature of this embodiment, two second guide rods 111 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the movable groove 13. Both second guide rods 111 are pluggably connected to the drive block 110. The design of the second guide rods 111 provides a stable guide for the drive block 110, ensuring the linearity and stability of the drive block 110 during its upward and downward movement, thereby improving the operating accuracy and reliability of the gate valve.
[0030] As a preferred feature of this embodiment, two fixed columns 14 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the movable groove 13. A first guide rod 15 is mounted in each fixed column 14 for vertical sliding movement. The top of the first guide rod 15 is fixed to the bottom of the lower connecting plate 16. The combination of the first guide rod 15 and the fixed columns 14 provides additional guidance and support for the gate blade 12, further enhancing the stability of the gate blade 12 during movement. This design also helps reduce the lateral force generated by the gate blade 12 during movement, extending the service life of the gate valve.
[0031] As a preferred feature of this embodiment, when the gate 12 reaches its uppermost position, it is completely disengaged from the conveying channel 10, and at this point, the first guide rod 15 remains attached to the fixed post 14. This design ensures that the gate 12 does not interfere with the flow of fluid when fully open, thereby improving fluid flow efficiency. Furthermore, the continued connection between the first guide rod 15 and the fixed post 14 ensures the stability of the gate 12 when open.
[0032] As a preferred feature of this embodiment, the inlet and outlet of the valve body 1 are integrally formed with a flange. The flange design facilitates connection and removal of the gate valve from the pipeline, improving the versatility and adaptability of the gate valve. Furthermore, the flange connection ensures a secure and leak-tight connection.
[0033] As a preferred feature of this embodiment, the driver block 110 never disengages from the second guide rod 111 during its vertical movement, and the outer annular walls of both the upper connecting plate 112 and the lower connecting plate 16 tightly adhere to the inner wall of the movable groove 13. This design further enhances the stability of the driver block 110 and the blade 12 during movement, preventing degradation or damage to the seal due to shaking or misalignment. It also improves the overall rigidity and durability of the gate valve.
[0034] When the Y-type parallel gate valve of the utility model is in use:
[0035] First, when the delivery channel 10 needs to be opened to allow fluid to flow, the valve motor 2 is activated. The motor's output shaft rotates, driving the coaxially fixed screw 20 to rotate along with it. Because the drive block 110 is internally threaded with the screw 20, the screw 20's rotation translates into vertical linear motion of the drive block 110, specifically, upward movement of the drive block 110 along the movable slot 13.
[0036] The upward movement of the driver block 110 is transmitted to the blade 12 via the upper connecting plate 112 and the lower connecting plate 16, connected by internal fixing bolts 17, causing the blade 12 to move upward. During this process, the first guide rod 15 slides up and down within the fixing column 14, providing additional guidance and support for the blade 12 and ensuring its stability. Furthermore, the plug-in connection between the second guide rod 111 and the driver block 110 ensures the linearity and stability of the driver block 110 during its upward and downward movement.
[0037] When the gate 12 moves to the uppermost position, it is completely separated from the delivery channel 10, and the fluid can now flow freely through the delivery channel 10. Although the gate 12 is in the open state, the first guide rod 15 remains connected to the fixed column 14, which ensures the stability of the gate 12 in the open state and prevents shaking or deviation caused by external factors.
[0038] When it's necessary to close the delivery channel 10 to prevent fluid flow, the valve motor 2 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the screw 20 in the opposite direction. This causes the drive block 110 to move downward along the movable slot 13, which in turn drives the gate blade 12 downward via the internal fixing bolt 17. As the gate blade 12 gradually descends, it eventually enters the cutoff slot 11. When the gate blade 12 reaches its lowest point, it completely closes the delivery channel 10.
[0039] During the closing process of the gate knife 12, the sealing gasket 120 is in close contact with the inner wall of the cut-off groove 11, further improving the sealing performance of the gate valve and preventing fluid leakage when the gate knife 12 is closed. This design ensures the reliability and durability of the gate valve and is suitable for occasions where strict control of fluid flow is required.
[0040] Furthermore, the entire gate valve boasts a compact structure and convenient operation. The blade 12 and drive block 110, as well as the mounting post 3 and valve body 1, are both securely connected by bolts. This detachable connection facilitates disassembly and maintenance. When repairs or maintenance are required, the relevant components can be easily removed, enhancing maintenance convenience.
[0041] In summary, the Y-shaped parallel gate valve of the present invention uses the valve motor 2 to drive the screw 20 to rotate, thereby driving the drive block 110 and the gate blade 12 to move up and down, thereby opening and closing the conveying channel 10. It has a reasonable structural design, simple operation, good sealing performance, and is easy to repair and maintain, making it suitable for various occasions requiring fluid flow control.
