Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valve bodies, in particular to an eccentric butterfly valve. Background Art
[0002] As a widely used flow control device, butterfly valves play a vital role in many industrial fields. They are favored for their compact structure, ease of operation, and low cost. However, traditional butterfly valve designs have inherent limitations, particularly in terms of sealing performance and service life.
[0003] Traditional butterfly valves typically utilize a fixed metal or rubber sealing ring on the valve seat to achieve sealing. When the disc is closed, the edge of the disc presses directly against the fixed seat, creating a seal. While this sealing method meets basic requirements, in practice, the constant physical contact between the disc and the valve seat, coupled with the disc's frequent opening and closing, causes friction that wears the valve seat, compromising the valve's overall sealing performance. Furthermore, wear of the seat material can generate tiny particles, which not only contaminate the medium but can also clog or damage the valve's internal structure.
[0004] To overcome these issues, the industry has tried various solutions, such as improving the valve seat sealing material, adopting more wear-resistant materials, or optimizing the butterfly plate design to reduce friction. However, these methods either increase manufacturing costs or fail to fundamentally solve the wear problem, resulting in no significant improvement in the long-term reliability of the valve. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1-6 , clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Example:
[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model discloses an eccentric butterfly valve, which includes a valve body 1, an eccentric disc plate 2, a valve stem 3, an actuator 4 and a valve seat assembly, wherein the actuator 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the valve body 1, and the upper end of the valve stem 3 is connected to the actuator 4. The actuator 4 is used to control the rotation of the valve stem 3. The actuator 4 is a prior art and will not be described here. The lower end of the valve stem 3 penetrates into the valve body 1 and is fixedly connected to the eccentric disc plate 2. In the utility model, an interface seat 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the valve body 1, and the valve seat assembly is located between the interface seat 5 and the valve seat assembly. The valve body 1 is located between the valve body 1 and on the outside of the eccentric disc plate 2. Specifically, the valve seat assembly includes a positioning ring 6 and a telescopic valve seat 7, wherein the telescopic valve seat 7 is positioned on the inner side of the positioning ring 6 and faces the eccentric disc plate 2. An L-shaped air duct 11 is opened on the valve body 1, and one end of the L-shaped air duct 11 is connected to an inflation nozzle 12 that penetrates the valve body 1. The other end of the L-shaped air duct 11 leads to the positioning ring 6, and an inflation duct 61 leading to the space between the positioning ring 6 and the telescopic valve seat 7 is opened on the positioning ring 6. The inflation duct 61 is connected to the L-shaped air duct 11.
[0029] When the present invention is in use, the inflation nozzle 12 can be externally connected to a solenoid valve and an air pump. During inflation, the solenoid valve opens, and the air pump inputs gas into the inflation nozzle 12. After the inflation is completed, the solenoid valve closes. Of course, the inflation nozzle 12 can also be manually inflated, and the inflation nozzle 12 is sealed after the inflation is completed. The present invention uses the inflation nozzle 12, the L-shaped air channel 11, and the inflation channel 61 to fill gas between the positioning ring 6 and the telescopic valve seat 7, thereby expanding the telescopic valve seat 7. After the eccentric disc 2 is closed, the telescopic valve seat 7 is inflated and tightly sealed with the eccentric disc 2. In the process of opening and closing the eccentric disc 2 and rotating, the telescopic valve seat 7 is first deflated. At this time, the telescopic valve seat 7 does not contact the eccentric disc 2, and the rotational resistance distance of the eccentric disc 2 is extremely small, thereby avoiding friction between the telescopic valve seat 7 and the eccentric disc 2. In this way, the telescopic valve seat 7 will not be worn, and therefore will not fall off or slag, and the valve sealing performance is reliable.
[0030] The specific structure of the valve seat assembly arranged between the interface seat 5 and the valve body 1 is as follows: an accommodating cavity 81 for accommodating the valve seat assembly is provided between the interface seat 5 and the valve body 1, and the telescopic valve seat 7 penetrates the accommodating cavity 81 on the side facing the eccentric disc plate 2, wherein a limiting step 71 is provided on the side of the telescopic valve seat 7 facing the eccentric disc plate 2, and the limiting step 71 is provided at a position of the telescopic valve seat 7 close to the interface seat 5 and the valve body 1, and a limiting plate 82 is provided on the interface seat 5 and the valve body 1, which is located on the limiting step 71. The setting of the limiting plate 82 can prevent the telescopic valve seat 7 from falling out of the accommodating cavity 81. In addition, the interface seat 5 and the valve body 1 are both provided with a limit clamp 83 on the accommodating cavity 81, which is located on the side of the telescopic valve seat 7 away from the eccentric disc plate 2. The limit clamp 83 forms a support for the side of the telescopic valve seat 7 away from the eccentric disc plate 2. In addition, the interface seat 5 and the valve body 1 also clamp the two sides of the telescopic valve seat 7. The structure of the interface seat 5 and the valve body 1, in conjunction with the limit plate 82 and the limit clamp 83, can effectively limit the telescopic valve seat 7, so that when the telescopic valve seat 7 expands, only the side that penetrates the accommodating cavity 81 toward the eccentric disc plate 2 can be expanded to contact and seal with the eccentric disc plate 2, with good structural reliability and high expansion efficiency.
[0031] The specific structure of the telescopic valve seat 7 positioning sleeve arranged on the positioning ring 6 is: a positioning connection port 72 is opened in the telescopic valve seat 7, the opening facing the side away from the eccentric disc plate 2, and the cross-section of the positioning connection port 72 is convex, and the positioning ring 6 includes a connecting ring 62 clamped in the positioning connection port 72. This structure can improve the structural strength of the telescopic valve seat 7 and the positioning ring 6, and prevent the telescopic valve seat 7 from being separated from the positioning ring 6. Furthermore, the inflation channel 61 passes through the connecting ring 62 and enters the inner side of the positioning connection port 72, so that during inflation, the telescopic valve seat 7 can be effectively expanded toward the side of the eccentric disc plate 2 that penetrates the accommodating cavity 81, and the gas is not easy to leak inside the positioning connection port 72.
[0032] Furthermore, a concave groove 63 is provided on the end face of the connecting ring 62 facing the inner side of the positioning connecting port 72. The concave groove 63 is arranged in a ring shape on the inner side of the connecting ring 62, and the inflation channel 61 is connected to the concave groove 63. The setting of the concave groove 63 enables the gas to expand the entire circle of the telescopic valve seat 7 more quickly and evenly.
[0033] In the present utility model, a first sealing sleeve 91 is fixedly provided in the valve body 1, and the valve stem 3 is rotatably fitted in the first sealing sleeve 91, and the lower end of the eccentric disc plate 2 is fixedly connected to the positioning shaft 21. A positioning hole 13 corresponding to the positioning shaft 21 is opened on the valve body 1, and a second sealing sleeve 92 is fixedly provided in the positioning hole 13, and the positioning shaft 21 is rotatably fitted in the second sealing sleeve 92.
[0034] Furthermore, at least two first sealing rings 93 are provided on the inner sides of the first sealing sleeve 91 and the second sealing sleeve 92, and at least two second sealing rings 94 are provided on the outer sides of the first sealing sleeve 91 and the second sealing sleeve 92. The first sealing rings 93 and the second sealing rings 94 are arranged in an alternating manner. The first sealing rings 93 and the second sealing rings 94 arranged in this way can effectively seal the first sealing sleeve 91 and the second sealing sleeve 92 with the valve body 1, and can also effectively seal the first sealing sleeve 91 with the valve stem 3, and can effectively seal the second sealing sleeve 92 with the positioning shaft 21.
