Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of butterfly valves, in particular to a structure for preventing a butterfly valve stem from popping out. Background Art

[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve or butterfly valve, is a simple regulating valve. Its operating principle is to rotate the valve stem through a transmission mechanism, which in turn drives the disc-shaped butterfly plate to rotate around its own axis within the valve body, opening and closing the valve or regulating flow. Butterfly valves feature low operating torque, compact installation space, light weight, and simple and rapid operation. They are widely used in piping systems in industries such as chemical, petroleum, natural gas, food, pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, and water treatment. Butterfly valves offer a variety of actuation methods, including manual, electric, and pneumatic actuators, depending on the operating conditions.

[0003] The butterfly valve stem is fixed to the rear end of the valve plate and locked by a connector. Due to frequent opening and closing, the connector that fixes the butterfly valve and the valve stem is easily worn, causing the valve stem to slide and pop out. In addition, when the valve stem rotates, it may slip between the connector and the valve plate, preventing the valve plate from rotating smoothly. Therefore, we propose a structure to prevent the butterfly valve stem from popping out. Utility Model Content

[0025] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a structure for preventing the valve stem 3 of a butterfly valve from popping out, comprising a valve body 1, a valve plate 2 and a valve stem 3, both ends of the valve body 1 are connected with flanges 11, and the surface of the flange 11 is evenly provided with perforations, so that the valve body 1 can be connected to the pipeline through the valve stem 3 at both ends thereof.

[0026] The valve stem 3 is vertically rotatably connected to the middle position of the valve body 1, and the bottom of the valve stem 3 is inserted into the valve body 1. The valve plate 2 is placed on the side of the valve stem 3 inside the valve body 1. An arc groove 22 is vertically opened on the back surface of the valve plate 2. Then, the part of the valve stem 3 placed inside the valve body 1 is pressed into the arc groove 22 on the back of the valve plate 2. Ring openings 32 are opened around the upper and lower outer rings of the valve stem 3 inside the valve body 1. There are at least two ring openings 32, and both sides of the arc groove 22 at the ring opening 32 are provided with a stop block 23. The stop block 23 is inserted into the ring opening 32. Then, the valve at the position of the ring opening 32 is opened. The outer ring of the rod 3 is buckled with a clamp 4, and screw holes 24 are provided on the surface of the valve plate 2 on both sides of the arc groove 22 at the stop block 23. Then the bolt 41 is passed through the clamp 4 and screwed into the screw hole 24 to lock the clamp 4, lock the clamp 4 on the back surface of the valve plate 2, and buckle the clamp 4 in the ring opening 32 of the valve stem 3. The length of the clamp 4 is the same as that of the stop block 23, and both are just stuck in the ring opening 32. During use, even if there is wear between the valve stem 3 and the valve plate 2, the stop block 23 and the clamp are buckled in the ring opening 32, which can prevent the valve stem 3 from sliding up and down in the arc groove 22, so that the valve stem 3 will not slide and pop out.

[0027] When the valve stem 3 is rotated, the valve plate 2 can be easily loosened and rotated relative to the clamp 4 and the arc groove 22, which makes it impossible to smoothly drive the valve plate 2 to rotate and achieve the purpose of opening and closing. In order to solve this problem, a through-hole 321 is opened on the surface of the valve stem 3 at the ring mouth 32, and a first clamping block 25 is fixed on the surface of the arc groove 22 at the through-hole 321. A second clamping block 42 is fixed on the inner surface of the clamp 4 at the through-hole 321. The first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 42 are both inserted into the through-hole 321. Therefore, when the valve stem 3 rotates, the first clamping block 25 and the second clamping block 42 can be buckled into the through-hole 321 to drive the valve plate 2 to rotate smoothly and achieve the purpose of opening and closing. In order to improve the sealing effect, a sealing ring 21 is fixed around the outer ring of the valve plate 2. The sealing ring 21 is embedded in the annular groove body provided on the outer ring of the valve plate 2. When the valve plate 2 rotates and closes, the sealing ring 21 contacts the inner surface of the valve body 1 to achieve the purpose of good sealing.

[0028] A rotating handle 31 is installed on the top of the valve stem 3, and the valve stem 3 can be driven to rotate by the rotating handle 31 with less effort, so that the rotation of the valve plate 2 is more labor-saving.

[0029] When the cam 31 is in operation, the cam 32 is engaged with the piston 24 and the piston 23 is tightened to the piston rod 32 so that the cam 32 is tightened and the piston 23 is tightened.
