Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric butterfly valves, in particular to an electric butterfly valve for closing when power is lost in a nuclear power system. Background Art
[0002] At present, electric butterfly valves are used in the metallurgical and nuclear power industries. When the system loses power, due to the self-locking function of the electric device, the valve can only be in the position where it was when the power was off. The butterfly plate cannot close automatically when the power is off, which makes it easy for accidental leakage accidents to occur. Therefore, an electric butterfly valve that closes when the power is off is proposed for nuclear power systems to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the right end of the screw rod is rotatably connected to the left side of the slider through a bearing, and the left end of the screw rod is fixedly connected to a handwheel. By turning the handwheel, the screw rod can be driven to rotate and move horizontally along the threaded hole, thereby causing the screw rod to push the slider to slide horizontally.
[0008] Preferably, a sliding groove is provided on the bottom inner wall of the shell, and the bottom of the slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The slider slides along the inner wall of the sliding groove, and the sliding groove limits the slider, thereby preventing the slider from rotating with the screw rod, thereby improving the movement stability of the slider.
[0009] Preferably, a wear-resistant alloy block is welded on the edge of the butterfly plate. The material of the wear-resistant alloy block is a cobalt-based alloy. The wear-resistant alloy block is set to form a wear-resistant protective layer on the edge of the butterfly plate. The wear-resistant alloy block has high hardness and good wear resistance, can effectively resist the erosion and wear of the nuclear medium, extend the service life of the butterfly plate, and improve the sealing performance.
[0010] Preferably, a sealing sleeve is provided on the inner wall of the valve body, and an electric device is provided on the shell. The electric device includes an electric control box connected to the shell, a drive motor is connected to the electric control box, and the top end of the valve stem extends into the electric control box and is connected to the output end of the drive motor.

This can achieve rapid closure of the valve when power is lost, prevent leakage, and meet the safety requirements of metallurgical or nuclear power systems.
[0013] 2. This electric butterfly valve used in nuclear power systems closes when power is lost. The wear-resistant alloy block is set to form a wear-resistant protective layer on the edge of the butterfly plate, which can effectively resist the erosion and wear of the nuclear medium, extend the service life of the butterfly plate, and improve the sealing performance.
