[0003] During use of the existing butterfly valve, the fluid inside the butterfly valve is prone to backflow, which affects the function of the butterfly valve.

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, a Chinese patent of the prior art (publication number: CN213808936U) discloses a butterfly valve with an anti-backflow function, which is provided with a baffle and a first threaded shaft. This arrangement cooperates with the fixed connection between the rotating handle and the first threaded shaft, the spiral connection between the first threaded shaft and the baffle, the fixed connection between the baffle and the gasket, and the sliding connection between the baffle and the fixed frame. When the device is used, the backflow phenomenon is avoided during the use of the device, thereby ensuring the normal use of the device.

[0005] The above-mentioned existing technology intercepts the fluid to achieve the anti-backflow effect through the fixed connection between the baffle and the gasket and the sliding connection between the baffle and the fixed frame. During actual use, the fluid inside the butterfly valve can easily penetrate into the mechanical parts and cause corrosion. Overly complex parts can easily cause the anti-backflow structure inside the butterfly valve to fail. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 , the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0027] A butterfly valve with a backflow prevention function comprises a valve body 1, flanges 2 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both ends of the valve body 1, and an inner layer 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the valve body 1;

[0028] A mounting ring 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner layer 3, and a baffle 13 is rotatably connected to the middle of the upper end of the mounting ring 12. Two symmetrically distributed mounting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to one side of the mounting ring 12 close to the baffle 13, and two symmetrically distributed mounting shafts 15 are fixedly connected to one end of the baffle 13 close to the mounting ring 12, and the baffle 13 is made of foam material. The mounting shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting block 14, and a torsion spring 16 is fixedly connected between the end of the mounting shaft 15 and the mounting block 14.

[0029] A lower mounting hole 4 is provided at the bottom of the valve body 1 , and an upper mounting hole 5 is provided at the top of the valve body 1 . Both the lower mounting hole 4 and the upper mounting hole 5 extend into the inner layer 3 , and the lower mounting hole 4 and the upper mounting hole 5 are aligned with each other.

[0030] A mounting sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the valve body 1 , and the mounting sleeve 6 is aligned with the top of the upper mounting hole 5 , and a mounting box 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting sleeve 6 .

[0031] A butterfly plate 8 is rotatably connected inside the valve body 1 , and the upper and lower ends of the butterfly plate 8 are rotatably connected to the upper mounting hole 5 and the lower mounting hole 4 respectively, and a valve stem 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the butterfly plate 8 .

[0032] The butterfly plate 8 is located in the middle of the valve body 1, and the outer side of the butterfly plate 8 is in contact with the inner side of the inner layer 3, and the butterfly plate 8 and the inner layer 3 are in contact with each other to form a sealing structure.

[0033] A worm gear 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem 9 , and the valve stem 9 is rotatably connected to the inside of the worm gear 10 , and the worm gear 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the installation box 7 .

[0034] A worm 11 is rotatably connected inside the mounting box 7 , and the outer side of the worm 11 is meshed with the outer side of the worm wheel 10 . A mounting ring 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the worm 11 , and the mounting ring 12 is located outside the mounting box 7 .

[0035] Example 2: Based on Example 1, its specific working principle is as follows:

[0036] This butterfly valve with backflow prevention function is first installed in the water pipe line through the flange 2, so that water enters the inner layer 3 from the end of the valve body 1 away from the mounting ring 12, flows through the inner layer 3, and then flows out of the valve body 1 through the mounting ring 12, while maintaining the flow direction of the water. By rotating the mounting ring 12, the butterfly plate 8 is controlled to rotate inside the inner layer 3, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the butterfly valve;

[0037] When water flows inside the inner layer 3, the worm 11 is driven to rotate inside the mounting box 7 by rotating the mounting ring 12, and the worm gear 10 is driven to rotate inside the mounting box 7 by the rotation of the worm 11. The worm gear 10 will drive the valve stem 9 to rotate inside the mounting sleeve 6, so that the butterfly plate 8 rotates inside the valve body 1 and the inner layer 3. When the butterfly plate 8 and the inner layer 3 are in a vertical distribution state, the outer side of the butterfly plate 8 will fit with the inner side of the inner layer 3, and the butterfly plate 8 will fit with the inner side of the inner layer 3 to form a sealing structure, thereby sealing the inner layer 3. At this time, the butterfly valve will be in a closed state, and when the butterfly plate 8 and the inner layer 3 are not in a vertical distribution state, a gap will be formed between the inner side of the inner layer 3 and the butterfly plate 8. When the inner layer 3 and the butterfly plate 8 form a parallel structure, the butterfly valve will be in a fully open state, and the worm 11 and the worm gear 10 have self-locking properties, so that the rotation angle of the butterfly plate 8 inside the valve body 1 can be automatically locked to prevent the water flow from impacting the butterfly plate 8 and causing it to rotate;

[0038] When the water flows inside the inner layer 3, the water will flow inside the mounting ring 12. When the butterfly plate 8 is closed, the butterfly plate 8 gradually rotates inside the valve body 1 to a state perpendicular to the valve body 1, and the gap between the inner side of the inner layer 3 and the outer side of the butterfly plate 8 will gradually decrease until the butterfly plate 8 is completely closed. In the process of the gap between the inner side of the inner layer 3 and the outer side of the butterfly plate 8 decreasing, the water inside it tends to flow in the opposite direction of the flow direction, resulting in a backflow phenomenon in the inner layer 3. During the flow inside the inner layer 3, the water will pass through the baffle 13. , the water flow will lift up the mounting block 14, causing the baffle 13 to rotate around the two mounting blocks 14 on one side of the mounting ring 12 through the mounting shaft 15 at its top. At this time, a passage will be formed inside the mounting ring 12. When the water flow inside the baffle 13 decreases, the torsion springs 16 located at both ends of the mounting shaft 15 will drive the baffle 13 to rotate toward the mounting ring 12, so that the baffle 13 closes the mounting ring 12, and then the overall sealing structure formed by the mounting ring 12 and the baffle 13 completely blocks the inside of the inner layer 3, preventing water from flowing back inside the inner layer 3.
