Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, and more particularly to an eccentric hemispherical valve which can be maintained online. Background Art

[0002] During use or at the end of its service life, the spool seal of an eccentric hemispherical valve may wear or damage, leading to leakage. This can necessitate replacement of the damaged seal. However, in some applications, this requires shutting off the flow of water and closing all valves in the pipeline. This prevents the seal from being replaced while the eccentric hemispherical valve is operating, hindering timely resolution of leaks caused by seal damage.

[0003] In order to replace the worn or damaged seal ring of the valve core without shutting off the water supply when the valve core seal ring is found to be worn or damaged, causing the valve to leak, the prior art, for example, has an eccentric hemispherical valve with a liftable sealing seat inside the valve. When the eccentric hemispherical valve is fully opened, the liftable sealing seat can descend to its lower end to abut and seal against the outer side of the hemispherical valve disc, thereby forming a sealed pressure chamber between the valve cover and the hemispherical valve disc. Another example is a valve with online maintenance, disclosed in CN111365472A, which has a movable member and an inspection port on the valve body. The movable member is mounted at the inspection port and is sealed to the valve body. The valve core can be switched and rotated between the inlet or outlet and the inspection port. When the valve needs to be repaired, the movable member moves downward to seal against the valve core, isolating the valve cavity from the inspection port and positioning the first sealing assembly within the inspection port.

[0004] Existing solutions enable online maintenance by controlling the vertical movement of the sealing valve seat or movable member to maintain sealing contact with the valve core during valve operation. However, these solutions use bolts and screws to control the vertical movement of the sealing valve seat or movable member. This requires tightening and loosening multiple actuators each time, resulting in a complex structure with numerous components. Furthermore, numerous parts must be disassembled and installed during maintenance, resulting in low maintenance efficiency. Summary of the Invention

In addition, in addition to being used to indicate orientation or positional relationships, some of the above terms may also be used to express other meanings. For example, the term "upper" may also be used to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship in certain circumstances. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, for the purposes of describing the embodiments of the present application herein.

[0049] The online-repairable eccentric hemispherical valve provided in this embodiment is primarily installed in pipelines conveying liquid media. The eccentric hemispherical valve incorporates an eccentric valve core, which, when rotated to different positions, can close the valve to cut off the flow of the medium, open the valve to allow the medium to flow, or adjust the flow rate. The liquid medium can be water, oil, or other fluid substances. For ease of illustration, this embodiment uses water as the liquid medium.

[0050] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the online-maintainable eccentric hemispherical valve in this embodiment includes a valve body 1, a valve core 16, a sealing seat 4 and a drive assembly.

[0051] A valve cavity 11 is formed in the valve body 1. A first opening 13, a second opening 14 and a maintenance port 15 communicating with the valve cavity 11 are also provided on the valve body 1. The maintenance port 15 is sealed and connected to the detachable valve cover 2. Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the first opening 13 and the second opening 14 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the valve body 1 , and the first opening 13 and the second opening 14 are located on the same axis, and the maintenance port 15 is located on the upper side of the valve body 1 .

[0052] After the eccentric hemispheric valve is installed in a piping system, when liquid flows through the valve body 1, if the liquid flows from the first opening 13 to the second opening 14, the first opening 13 becomes the inlet and the second opening 14 becomes the outlet; if the liquid flows from the second opening 14 to the first opening 13, the second opening 14 becomes the inlet and the first opening 13 becomes the outlet. The specific configuration of the inlet and outlet of the valve body depends on the installation of the hemispheric valve in the piping system. For ease of explanation, this embodiment describes the first opening 13 as the inlet and the second opening 14 as the outlet. Liquid enters the valve through the first opening 13 and circulates through the valve.

[0053] The exterior of the maintenance port 15 is sealed against the valve cover 2 to prevent liquid leakage during valve operation. To improve the seal between the valve cover 2 and the valve body 1, an elastic gasket 21 is positioned between the valve body 1 and the valve cover 2. Bolts secure the valve cover 2 to the valve body 1, and the valve cover 2 can be removed by removing the bolts. When the bolts secure the valve cover 2 to the valve body 1, tightening the screws compresses the elastic gasket 21 between the valve body 1 and the valve cover 2, thereby improving the seal between the valve cover 2 and the valve body 1.

[0054] The valve core 16 is rotatably mounted within the valve chamber 11 and includes a sealing disk and a main seal 161 mounted on the sealing disk. The main seal 161 rotates with the valve core 16 and switches between the first opening 13 and the maintenance port 15. The valve core 16 is connected to a valve shaft 17, which passes through the valve body 1 and connects to an actuator outside the valve body 1. This actuator drives the valve core 16 in rotation. For example, the actuator can be a servo motor, which drives the valve core 16 in rotation. The main seal 161 is mounted on the sealing disk and provides a seal when the eccentric hemispherical valve is closed.

[0055] A pressure plate 162 is also fixedly connected to the sealing plate of the valve core 16, which is used to secure the main seal 161. The pressure plate 162 is detachably secured to the sealing plate. One side of the pressure plate 162 abuts against one side of the main seal 161, pressing against the main seal 161 and securing the main seal 161. When the main seal 161 needs to be replaced, the pressure plate 162 is removed, thereby removing the main seal 161. In this embodiment, the pressure plate 162 is secured to the sealing plate by bolts. Of course, in other embodiments, the pressure plate 162 may be secured to the sealing plate by other means.

[0056] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the sealing seat 4 is located within the maintenance port 15. The drive assembly is connected to the sealing seat 4 and can drive the sealing seat 4 to rotate. During online maintenance, the drive assembly drives the sealing seat 4 to rotate until it contacts and seals with the sealing disc. The sealing disc, sealing seat 4, and valve cover 2 form an isolation chamber at the maintenance port 15. The main seal 161 is located in the isolation chamber and can be inspected by removing the valve cover 2.

[0057] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a connecting shaft 34 and a driving part 31. One end of the connecting shaft 34 passes through the valve body 1 and is connected to the side of the sealing seat 4 close to the second opening 14, and the other end is connected to the driving part 31; the driving part 31 drives the connecting shaft 34 to rotate the sealing seat 4.

[0058] The side of the sealing seat 4 near the second opening 14 is connected to the connecting shaft 34. When the sealing seat 4 rotates, it rotates around the center of the connecting shaft 34. A valve seat 12 is provided near the valve chamber 11 at the first opening 13. The valve shaft 17 drives the valve core 16 to rotate, causing the valve core 16 to switch positions between the first opening 13 and the maintenance port 15. When the eccentric hemispherical valve is in operation, the actuator drives the valve core 16 to rotate to the maintenance port 15, establishing communication between the first opening 13 and the second opening 14. When the eccentric hemispherical valve is closed, the actuator drives the valve core 16 to rotate to the first opening 13. The main seal 161 contacts the valve seat 12 in a sealing manner, closing the first opening 13 and thus closing the eccentric hemispherical valve.

[0059] During the long-term operation of the eccentric hemispherical valve, the main seal 161 will age or wear, and the main seal 161 needs to be regularly maintained. In this embodiment, when the eccentric hemispherical valve is in normal online operation, the main seal 161 is maintained in an online maintenance manner. Specifically, when the eccentric hemispherical valve needs to be maintained online, the actuator drives the valve core 16 to rotate to the maintenance port 15, so that the axis of the sealing disk coincides with the axis of the maintenance port 15, and the drive assembly drives the sealing seat 4 to rotate until it contacts and seals with the sealing disk. The sealing disk, the sealing seat 4 and the valve cover 2 form an isolation chamber at the maintenance port 15, and the main seal 161 is located in the isolation chamber. The valve cover 2 can be disassembled to repair the main seal 161.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, when the eccentric hemispherical valve is maintained online, the main seal 161 rotates with the valve core 16 to the maintenance port 15, and the sealing seat 4 is controlled to rotate toward the valve core 16 to form an isolation chamber. The main seal 161 can be maintained after the valve cover 2 is removed. Figure 5 As shown, after the maintenance is completed, the sealing seat 4 is rotated in the direction away from the valve core 16 to open the isolation chamber, and then the valve cover 2 is installed to complete the maintenance process. The eccentric hemispherical valve in this solution has a simpler structure and a faster maintenance process.

[0061] It should be noted that in the eccentric hemispherical valve, Figure 5As shown, the first opening 13 and the second opening 14 are located on the same axis. A radial line on the valve shaft 17 perpendicular to the axis of the first opening 13 and the second opening 14 is the centerline aa, and the axis of the sealing disc of the valve core 16 is the centerline bb. In this embodiment, the sealing seat 4 is annular, specifically circular, and the axis of the sealing seat 4 and the second opening 14 coincide within the maintenance port 15. During online maintenance, the valve core 16 sealing disc is located within the maintenance port 15, and the centerline bb coincides with the axis of the maintenance port 15, and the centerline bb is offset to the side of the centerline aa closer to the second opening 14. The valve seat 12 is disposed at the first opening 13, and the connecting shaft 34 is connected to the side of the sealing seat 4 closer to the second opening 14. Figure 3 The middle diagram shows the state of the isolation chamber when the eccentric hemispherical valve is overhauled. After the overhaul is completed, the connecting shaft 34 rotates clockwise to open the isolation chamber, forming the following Figure 5 In the state shown, the valve operates normally. To close the valve, the valve shaft 17 drives the valve seat 12 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the main seal 161 to contact and seal the valve seat 12. When the valve core 16 rotates to switch between the first opening 13 and the maintenance port 15, the connecting shaft 34 must drive the sealing seat 4 to rotate to a position where the isolation chamber is fully open to prevent interference between the valve core 16 and the sealing seat 4 during rotation.

[0062] To improve the sealing of the isolation chamber during online maintenance, an outer seal 41 is provided on the outer sidewall of the sealing seat 4, and an inner seal 42 is provided on the inner sidewall of the sealing seat 4. Preferably, the outer seal 41 and the inner seal 42 are elastic O-rings. During online maintenance, the sealing seat 4 rotates until it contacts and seals the sealing disc. After the sealing disc, the sealing seat 4, and the valve cover 2 form an isolation chamber at the maintenance port 15, the outer seal 41 is sealed against the inner sidewall of the maintenance port 15, and the inner seal 42 is sealed against the sealing disc.

[0063] Combine Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the driving portion 31 is a driving handle, which is provided with a first connecting hole 311 for fixed connection with the connecting shaft 34. The first connecting hole 311 can be configured as a square hole, and the end of the connecting shaft 34 is also configured as a square hole, which is connected to the first connecting hole 311, so that when the driving handle is rotated, the connecting shaft 34 is rotated synchronously. In other cases, the first connecting hole 311 can also be fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 34 by other means, as long as the connecting shaft 34 rotates synchronously with the driving handle.

[0064] During operation, the operator applies force to the driving handle, causing the driving handle to rotate, and the connecting shaft 34 rotates synchronously with the driving handle, thereby driving the sealing seat 4 to rotate. In other embodiments, the driving portion 31 can also be other, for example, the driving portion 31 can be an electric actuator, such as a servo motor; or a hydraulic actuator, such as a hydraulic cylinder; or a pneumatic actuator, such as a pneumatic cylinder.

[0065] Combine Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the drive assembly preferably further includes a locking plate 32 and a locking rod 33. The locking plate 32 is fixed relative to the valve body 1 and is fixed to the valve body 1 by bolts. In other cases, the locking plate 32 can also be fixed to the valve body 1 by welding or other means. The connecting shaft 34 passes through the locking plate 32 and is connected to the drive unit 31; the locking rod 33 is located on the drive unit 31 and rotates with the drive unit 31. The locking plate 32 defines a clearance hole 324. The diameter of the clearance hole 324 is larger than the diameter of the connecting shaft 34. When the connecting shaft 34 passes through the locking plate 32, it passes through the clearance hole 324.

[0066] The locking disc 32 is provided with a first locking engagement portion, and the locking lever 33 is provided with a second locking engagement portion. When the locking lever 33 rotates with the driving portion 31, the second locking engagement portion can selectively engage with the first locking engagement portion to lock the sealing seat 4 in place. When the locking lever 33 rotates with the driving portion 31 to the point where the sealing seat 4 is locked and positioned, the second locking engagement portion engages with the first locking engagement portion. When the sealing seat 4 is not in the locked position, the second locking engagement portion disengages from the first locking engagement portion as the locking lever 33 rotates with the driving portion 31, canceling the locking action.

[0067] Specifically, the first locking portion includes a first locking position 321 and a second locking position 322, and the second locking portion includes a locking protrusion 331. When the locking protrusion 331 is rotated to engage with the first locking position 321, the sealing seat 4 is locked in a position in contact with the sealing disk for sealing; when the locking protrusion 331 is rotated to engage with the second locking position 322, the sealing seat 4 is locked in a position in which the isolation chamber is fully opened.

[0068] Combine Figure 10As shown, the locking rod 33 is arc-shaped and can be connected to the driving part 31 via a pin. A locking protrusion 331 is provided at one end of the locking rod 33, and the other end is close to the handle of the driving part 31. Under normal circumstances, the valve operates normally, the isolation chamber is in a fully open state, and the locking protrusion 331 is engaged with the second locking position 322. When online maintenance is required, force is applied to the end of the locking rod 33 close to the handle of the driving part 31 to disengage the locking protrusion 331 from the second locking position 322. The driving part 31 is rotated to drive the sealing seat 4 to rotate until it contacts and seals with the sealing disk. The locking protrusion 331 follows the locking rod 33 and the driving part 31 to rotate to the first locking position 321 and engages with the first locking position 321. During online maintenance, the locking protrusion 331 cooperates with the first locking position 321 to lock the sealing seat 4 in a position in contact with the sealing disk to prevent the sealing seat 4 from loosening from the sealing disk; during normal operation of the valve, the locking protrusion 331 cooperates with the second locking position 322 to lock the sealing seat 4 in a position in which the isolation chamber is fully opened to prevent the sealing seat 4 from rotating toward the direction close to the valve core 16, which would cause interference between the valve core 16 and the sealing seat 4 when the valve core 16 rotates.

[0069] In other embodiments, the first locking fitting portion may also be configured as two locking protrusions, and the second locking fitting portion may be configured as a locking position capable of cooperating with the locking protrusions.

[0070] In addition, the locking disk 32 is further provided with limiting edges 323 , which are located on both sides of the first locking fitting portion. The limiting edges 323 are used to limit the driving portion 31 to prevent the driving portion 31 from rotating too much.

[0071] The online-maintainable eccentric hemispherical valve of this solution drives the seal seat 4 to rotate by controlling the drive unit 31 outside the valve body 1, forming an isolation chamber at the maintenance port 15. The main seal 161 can be repaired by removing the valve cover 2, simplifying the valve structure and facilitating maintenance of the main seal 161. Furthermore, the seal seat 4 is locked and positioned by the second locking mating portion mating with the first locking mating portion, eliminating the need for additional locking structures, making locking and positioning of the seal seat 4 even more convenient.

[0072] The terms "installed," "disposed," "equipped with," and "connected" as used herein should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral structures; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediary, or internal communication between two devices, elements, or components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0073] The above is a schematic description of the present invention and its embodiments, which is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the inventive purpose of the present invention, designs a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
