Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gate valves, in particular to a gate valve which is easy to rotate. Background Art
[0002] A gate valve is a disc that opens and closes the flow. The disc's movement is perpendicular to the flow direction. A gate valve can only be fully opened or closed, and cannot be adjusted or throttled. A gate valve seals through contact between the valve seat and the disc. The sealing surface is typically welded with metal materials such as 1Cr13, STL6, or stainless steel to increase wear resistance. There are two types of discs: rigid and flexible. Depending on the type of disc, gate valves are classified as either rigid or flexible.
[0003] Today's gate valves have the following shortcomings during daily use: usually, during the rotation process, it is necessary to manually hold the handwheel end of the valve by hand to rotate it, but the friction between the circular handwheel and the hand is small, which is not convenient for the user to hold stably and is prone to slipping during the rotation process. At the same time, it requires a lot of force to rotate, which is not labor-saving to use.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a gate valve that is easy to rotate to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a gate valve that is easy to rotate, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0024] For examples, see Figure 1-3 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0025] A gate valve that is easy to rotate includes a gate valve body 1, with connecting pipes 2 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the gate valve body 1, a shell 3 fixedly connected to the top of the gate valve body 1, a rotatable small gear 4 is installed on one side of the interior of the shell 3, a large gear 5 is connected to one side of the small gear 4, and the output end of the large gear 5 is fixedly connected to a valve stem 6 placed inside the gate valve body 1, and the top of the small gear 4 is fixedly connected to a load-bearing wheel 8 located above through a connecting column 7, and an auxiliary rotation structure 9 is also provided above the load-bearing wheel 8.
[0026] Specifically, the overall size of the pinion 4 is smaller than that of the large gear 5, and the pinion 4 and the lower portion of the large gear 5 are rotatably connected to the upper portion of the gate valve body 1 via a bearing 11; the pinion 4 and the large gear 5 are meshedly connected;
[0027] In this embodiment, when applying force to the load-bearing wheel 8, the small gear 4 will drive the large gear 5 to rotate synchronously. This process actually decomposes the motion into smaller forces to drive the larger gear. In this way, the force applied by the hand can be relatively small, that is, driving can be achieved with a smaller force, which is more labor-saving.
[0028] Specifically, the auxiliary rotating structure 9 includes an intermediate connecting plate 91 fixedly mounted on the top of the load-bearing wheel 8, and threaded cylinders 92 are fixedly connected to the tops of the left and right sides of the intermediate connecting plate 91, and the internal threads of the threaded cylinder 92 are connected to a threaded rod 93, and the top of the threaded rod 93 is fixedly connected to a pull ring 94; by holding the end of the pull ring 94 by hand, the entire load-bearing wheel 8 is rotated, thereby driving the valve stem 6 to rotate, so as to open and close the entire gate valve, thereby improving the firmness of the hand holding process.
[0029] Among them, the threaded rod 93 and the threaded cylinder 92 are connected by threads, and the threaded rod 93 and the threaded cylinder 92 are locked and fixed by limiting bolts 95; since the pull ring 94 and the threaded cylinder 92 are connected by threads and locked and fixed by limiting bolts 95, it is convenient to adjust the height of the pull ring 94, which is convenient for users to find a suitable height for holding, so as to provide comfort during the rotation process.
[0030] Among them, a threaded slot is opened through the middle position of the middle connecting plate 91, and the same threaded slot is opened in the middle position of the load-bearing wheel 8, and the middle connecting plate 91 and the load-bearing wheel 8 are fixedly connected by fixing bolts 10; when needed, the entire auxiliary rotating structure 9 can be installed on the original load-bearing wheel 8 through the fixing bolts 10.
[0031] The working process of the present utility model is as follows: when using the gate valve that is easy to rotate, first, the entire auxiliary rotating structure 9 is installed on the bearing wheel 8 by the fixing bolt 10 and it can be used. When in use, the pull ring 94 end is held by the hand, and then the entire bearing wheel 8 is rotated, thereby driving the valve stem 6 to rotate, so as to open and close the entire gate valve, and improve the firmness of the hand holding process. Since the pull ring 94 and the threaded cylinder 92 are threadedly connected and locked and fixed with a limit bolt 95, it is convenient to adjust the height of the pull ring 94, so that the user can find a suitable height for holding, so as to provide comfort during the rotation process; and in the process of applying force to the bearing wheel 8, the small gear 4 will be driven to drive the large gear 5 to rotate synchronously. This process actually decomposes the motion into smaller forces to drive larger gears. In this way, the force applied by the hand can be relatively small, that is, it can be driven by a smaller force, which is more labor-saving.
[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
