Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of butterfly valves, in particular to a pneumatic eccentric inflatable sealing ceramic butterfly valve. Background Art

[0002] Eccentric butterfly valves are categorized as single, double, triple, and variable eccentric. Unlike concentric butterfly valves, eccentric butterfly valves feature a stem axis offset from both the disc and body centers, and feature an oblique tapered sealing pair. The butterfly valve and upper and lower valve shafts are connected using a special-shaped hole and shaft, allowing the disc to float up and down, left and right, without a pin during opening and closing. A simple regulating valve, the butterfly valve can be used to control the flow of various fluids, including air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, and oil. It boasts a simple structure, compact size, light weight, easy operation, and excellent fluid control.

[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a pneumatic eccentric inflatable sealed ceramic butterfly valve, which has an inflatable valve seat that expands when inflated, and the inflatable valve seat and the butterfly valve plate abut against each other to ensure the valve sealing performance. When deflated, there is a gap between the inflatable valve seat and the butterfly valve plate, and they do not contact each other and wear each other, thereby extending the service life of the valve.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a pneumatic eccentric inflatable sealing ceramic butterfly valve, comprising a butterfly valve body and a pneumatic head assembly located above the butterfly valve body, a butterfly valve plate and an upper valve stem and a lower valve stem fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the butterfly valve plate are arranged in the butterfly valve body, and an inflatable valve seat adapted for the butterfly valve plate is also arranged in the butterfly valve body, the inflatable valve seat is press-fitted with a butterfly valve end cover fixedly connected to the butterfly valve body, a hollow inflatable cavity is arranged inside the inflatable valve seat, and the inflatable valve seat is made of elastic material. When the inflatable cavity is inflated, the inflatable valve seat expands toward one side of the butterfly valve plate, so that the inflatable valve seat and the butterfly valve plate abut against each other. When the inflatable cavity is deflated, there is a gap between the inflatable valve seat and the butterfly valve plate and they do not contact each other. The cross section of the inflatable cavity is arranged in a dome-shaped structure, and the top of the dome faces one side of the butterfly valve plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the inflatable valve seat is inflated, the inflatable valve seat expands and abuts against the butterfly valve plate, ensuring the overall sealing of the valve.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the nano-ceramic layer is sprayed to improve the overall wear resistance and corrosion resistance, solving the problem that the butterfly valve is easily worn and corroded by the medium.

[0017] The utility model is further configured as follows: a safety relief valve adapted to the inflatable valve seat is inserted into the other end of the butterfly valve end cover, and the pressure relief safety valve is connected to the inflatable cavity in the inflatable valve seat.

[0028] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1: This embodiment discloses a pneumatic eccentric inflatable sealing ceramic butterfly valve, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a butterfly valve body 1 and a pneumatic head assembly 2 located above the butterfly valve body 1, a butterfly valve plate 3 and an upper valve stem 4 and a lower valve stem 5 fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the butterfly valve plate 3 are arranged in the butterfly valve body 1, and an inflatable valve seat 6 adapted to the butterfly valve plate 3 is also arranged in the butterfly valve body 1, and a butterfly valve end cover 7 fixedly connected to the butterfly valve body 1 is pressed on the outside of the inflatable valve seat 6.

[0030] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a hollow inflation cavity 61 is provided inside the inflatable valve seat 6, and the inflatable valve seat 6 is made of elastic material. When the inflatable cavity 61 is inflated, the inflatable valve seat 6 expands toward the side of the butterfly valve plate 3, so that the inflatable valve seat 6 and the butterfly valve plate 3 abut against each other. When the inflatable cavity 61 is deflated, there is a gap between the inflatable valve seat 6 and the butterfly valve plate 3 and they do not contact each other. The cross-section of the inflatable cavity 61 is arranged in a dome-shaped structure, and the top of the dome faces the side of the butterfly valve plate 3. The dome-shaped structure facilitates the deformation of the inflatable valve seat 6 during inflation and deflation, so that the inflatable cavity 61 expands toward the side of the butterfly valve plate 3 when inflated, and shrinks away from the side of the butterfly valve plate 3 when deflated.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the inflatable valve seat 6 and the butterfly valve plate 3 are respectively provided with matching valve seat sealing bevels 62 and valve plate sealing bevels 31, and a sealing gap is formed between the valve seat sealing bevel 62 and the valve plate sealing bevel 31. When the inflatable valve seat 6 is inflated, the valve seat sealing bevel 62 and the valve plate sealing bevel 31 are abutted and connected to each other, and the sealing gap is 0. When the inflatable valve seat 6 is not inflated, the size of the sealing gap is set to 0.5 to 0.8 mm.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the butterfly valve body 1 and the butterfly valve end cover 7 are respectively provided with a valve body annular groove 11 and an end cover annular groove 71 which are adapted to the inflatable valve seat 6. The valve body annular groove 11 and the end cover annular groove 71 cooperate with each other to form a valve seat mounting groove for installing and fixing the inflatable valve seat 6. The end cover annular groove 71 is also provided with an annular limiting groove 72 which is adapted to the inflatable valve seat 6. The inflatable valve seat 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the butterfly valve end cover 7 with an annular limiting strip 63 which is adapted to the annular limiting groove 72. The annular limiting strip 63 and the annular limiting groove 72 cooperate with each other to play a limiting role, which can prevent the inflatable valve seat 6 from shifting due to deformation during the inflation and deflation process, thereby ensuring the reliability of the inflatable valve seat 6.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, an inflation connector 8 adapted to the inflatable valve seat 6 is inserted into one end of the butterfly valve end cover 7. The inflation connector 8 is fixedly connected to the pneumatic head assembly 2 by setting an inflation pipe 21. An inflation through hole adapted to the inflation connector 8 is provided on the inflatable valve seat 6. A connector hose 64 connected to the inflation connector 8 is inserted into the inflation through hole. The inflation cavity 61 is communicated with the inflation connector 8 through the connector hose 64. The pneumatic head assembly 2 performs inflation and deflation actions on the inflation connector 8 through the inflation pipe 21, thereby The inflation cavity 61 is inflated and deflated, thereby controlling the expansion and contraction of the inflatable valve seat 6 during the inflation and deflation process. The pneumatic head assembly 2 is also provided with a filter pressure reducing valve 22 and a solenoid valve 23 adapted to the inflatable valve seat 6. The inflation pipe 21 is interconnected with the filter pressure reducing valve 22 and the solenoid valve 23. The pneumatic head assembly 2 controls the inflation and deflation state of the inflation pipe 21 through the solenoid valve 23. The filter pressure reducing valve 22 is used to reduce the inflation pressure to avoid damage to the inflation pipe 21 and the inflatable valve seat 6 due to excessive air pressure.

[0034] Its working process is as follows: when the valve is closed, the pneumatic head assembly 2 drives the upper valve stem 4 to rotate together with the butterfly valve plate 3, so that the butterfly valve plate 3 is in the closed position. At this time, the butterfly valve plate 3 and the inflatable valve seat 6 do not contact each other, that is, there is a sealing gap between the valve seat sealing slope 62 and the valve plate sealing slope 31. Then the pneumatic head assembly 2 inflates the inflatable valve seat 6 (compressed air is introduced into the inflation cavity 61), so that the inflatable valve seat 6 expands toward the side of the butterfly valve plate 3 until the inflatable valve seat 6 is inflated. The valve seat 6 and the butterfly valve plate 3 abut against each other, that is, the valve seat sealing bevel 62 and the valve plate sealing bevel 31 abut against each other, the sealing gap is 0, and the valve completes the closing action; when the valve is opened, the inflatable valve seat 6 deflates outwards through the inflation tube 21, thereby causing the inflatable valve seat 6 to shrink and rebound to the side away from the butterfly valve plate 3 until the inflatable valve seat 6 and the butterfly valve plate 3 are no longer in contact with each other, and the pneumatic head assembly 2 drives the upper valve stem 4 and the butterfly valve plate 3 to rotate to the open position, and the valve completes the opening action.

[0035] Example 2: This example is based on Example 1. Figure 3 As shown, the butterfly valve body 1 is provided with an upper mounting groove 12 and a lower mounting groove 13 which are adapted to the upper valve stem 4 and the lower valve stem 5 respectively. The upper valve stem 4 is connected to the pneumatic head assembly 2 through the upper mounting groove 12. A valve stem sealing ring 14 is also provided in the upper mounting groove 12 and is sleeved on the upper valve stem 4. A sealing ring groove 15 which is adapted to the valve stem sealing ring 14 is provided in the upper mounting groove 12. The sealing ring adopts, and the valve stem sealing ring 14 is used to improve the sealing of the connection between the upper valve stem 4 and the butterfly valve body 1 to ensure the sealing performance of the valve. The upper mounting groove 12 is set as a through hole, and the lower mounting groove 13 is a blind hole.

[0036] The surfaces of the butterfly valve plate 3, the butterfly valve end cover 7 and the butterfly valve body 1 are all sprayed with a nano-ceramic layer. By spraying the nano-ceramic layer, the overall wear resistance and corrosion resistance are improved, solving the problem that the butterfly valve is easily eroded, worn and corroded by the medium.

[0037] Example 3: This example is based on Example 1 or 2. Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the other end of the butterfly valve end cover 7 is interspersed with a safety relief valve 9 that is compatible with the inflatable valve seat 6. The pressure relief safety valve is connected to the inflatable cavity 61 in the inflatable valve seat 6. The butterfly valve end cover 7 is provided with a pressure relief mounting hole and an inflating mounting hole that are respectively compatible with the safety pressure relief valve and the inflating connector 8. The pressure relief mounting hole and the inflating mounting hole are respectively fixedly connected to the safety pressure relief valve and the inflating connector 8 by threads. The pressure relief safety valve can prevent the inflatable valve seat 6 from being damaged due to excessive air pressure in the inflatable cavity 61, thereby extending the service life of the entire valve.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the design concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
