Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a valve, in particular to a bidirectional sealing knife gate valve. Background Art
[0002] Knife-type gate valves are mainly used as regulating and intercepting devices in pipelines such as tap water, sewage, construction, petroleum, chemical industry, food, medicine, textile, electricity, shipbuilding, metallurgy, and energy systems. They are based on ordinary gate valves, with the flat valve disc replaced by a knife-shaped valve disc. Knife-type gate valves, with their advantages of small size, small flow resistance, light weight, easy installation and easy disassembly, solve the problems of large flow resistance, heavy weight, difficult installation, and large floor space occupied by ordinary gate valves, flat gate valves, ball valves, stop valves, regulating valves, butterfly valves, and other valves.
[0003] The knife-type gate valves currently on the market are one-way sealing valves. When pipeline pressure increases and a reverse pressure differential occurs, they cannot effectively seal. The cavity inside the valve is prone to material accumulation and agglomeration, which can increase valve torque and damage the gate. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a bidirectional sealing knife gate valve.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A two-way sealing knife gate valve includes a valve body, the upper part of the valve body is connected to the actuator, a gate is provided in the valve body, the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the valve body are provided with a lined valve seat, the gate is inserted into the valve body, passes through the lined valve seat and passes through the bottom of the valve body, an upper packing and an upper packing pressure plate are installed on the upper part of the valve body, the upper packing pressure plate presses the upper packing, and a lower packing and a lower packing pressure plate are installed on the lower part of the valve body, the lower packing pressure plate presses the lower packing.
[0007] As a further improvement, the lined valve seat is made of PTFE valve seat or rubber material.
[0008] As a further improvement, a groove is provided on the inner wall of the valve body, and the liner valve seat is embedded in the groove.
[0009] As a further improvement, the valve body includes a left valve body and a right valve body, and the left valve body and the right valve body are locked and connected by bolts.
[0010] As a further improvement, the left valve body passes through the liner valve seat and is connected to the right valve body via bolts.
[0011] As a further improvement, the gate plate is made of metal material.
[0012] As a further improvement, the upper packing and the lower packing are embedded in the valve body, the upper packing pressure plate is installed at the upper port of the valve body, and the lower packing pressure plate is fixedly installed at the lower port of the valve body.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] By installing packing and packing pressure plates at the upper and lower parts of the valve body, and lengthening the gate so that it extends beyond the valve body, the lined valve seat remains in contact with the gate throughout the valve body's entire service life. The lined valve seats in the left and right valve bodies will not fall off or come into contact. During the valve's opening and closing, the lined valve seats will wear. When wear reaches a predetermined level, simply disassemble the left and right valve bodies and replace the lined valve seats. The lined valve seats are made of non-metallic material, while the gate is metal. The metal gate compresses the non-metallic lined valve seat, achieving a bidirectional seal and preventing material accumulation during opening and closing. This system is particularly suitable for working with pure media such as liquids and powders. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0020] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral connections. They may refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections. They may refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary, and they may refer to internal communication between two components or interactions between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a two-way sealing knife gate valve includes a valve body, the upper portion of which is connected to an actuator 1. A gate 2 is provided within the valve body. The upper and lower side walls of the valve body are both provided with lined valve seats 3. The gate 2 is inserted into the valve body, passes through the lined valve seats 3, and exits from the bottom of the valve body. An upper packing 6 and an upper packing pressure plate 7 are installed on the upper portion of the valve body, which presses the upper packing 6. A lower packing 8 and a lower packing pressure plate 9 are installed on the lower portion of the valve body, which presses the lower packing 8. By providing upper and lower packing at the upper and lower portions of the valve body, respectively, a two-way seal is achieved at the upper and lower portions of the valve body. The gate is lengthened so that it extends through the exterior of the valve body.
[0022] The inner lining valve seat 3 is made of PTFE valve seat or rubber material, and the gate plate 2 is made of metal material. After assembly and tightening, the metal gate plate will press the inner lining valve seat to further improve the sealing performance.
[0023] The inner wall of the valve body is provided with a groove, and the lining valve seat is embedded in the groove to ensure the stability of the assembly. Moreover, after assembly, the outer side surface of the lining valve seat remains flat with the inner side wall of the valve body.
[0024] The valve body comprises a left valve body 4 and a right valve body 5 which are connected by bolt locking, a plurality of bolts in different positions are arranged, and a part of the bolts are locked through the inner lining valve seat.
[0025] The upper packing 6 and the lower packing 8 are embedded in the valve body, the upper packing pressing plate 7 is arranged at the upper port of the valve body, and the lower packing pressing plate 9 is fixedly arranged at the lower port of the valve body.
[0026] After assembly, the valve is in an open state. When the gate plate moves upward, the gate plate exposed outside the valve body is moved to the position of the flow passage hole of the valve body, and the valve is closed. The inner lining valve seat is made of non-metal material, and the gate plate is made of metal material. The metal gate plate compresses the non-metal inner lining valve seat to realize bidirectional sealing.
