Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of butterfly valves, in particular to a butterfly valve casting with an adjustable torque function. Background Art
[0002] A butterfly valve is a simple, compact, and lightweight regulating valve widely used in both industrial and civilian applications. It controls the flow of media by rotating the disc. When the disc rotates perpendicular to the pipeline axis, the valve is fully closed, blocking the flow path and effectively shutting off the media. As the disc gradually rotates away from the perpendicular position, the media begins to flow through the gap between the disc and the valve body, gradually increasing the valve opening and the flow rate. When the disc rotates parallel to the pipeline axis, the valve is fully open, allowing the media to flow unimpeded through the pipeline.
[0003] However, the current butterfly valves are difficult to maintain because the structures that drive the butterfly plate to rotate are too difficult to maintain, resulting in excessive friction damage to these structures after long-term use, which in turn causes torque degradation. In addition, the torque of these structures in the butterfly valve is inconvenient to adjust, resulting in the butterfly valve being unable to adjust its own torque.
