DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 6 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application discloses a multi-rotation valve handwheel with a locking structure.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 A multi-turn valve handwheel with a lock structure includes a bracket 1, a valve stem 2 and a valve stem nut 3 threadedly connected to the valve stem 2. The valve stem 2 and the valve stem nut 3 are both rotatably arranged inside the bracket 1.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A locking disc 31 is provided on the valve stem nut 3, and a first limiting hole 311 in the shape of a regular hexagon is opened on the locking disc 31 along its thickness direction. The valve stem nut 3 and the first limiting hole 311 of the locking disc 31 form a snap fit, thereby effectively preventing relative rotation between the locking disc 31 and the valve stem nut 3, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the locking disc 31 when locked, and then when the valve stem nut 3 rotates, it will drive the locking disc 31 to rotate.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The lower locking disc 11 is provided on the bracket 1, and a second limiting hole 111 in the shape of a waist is formed in the thickness direction of the lower locking disc 11. The bracket 1 and the second limiting hole 111 of the upper locking disc 31 form a clamping fit, thereby effectively preventing relative rotation between the lower locking disc 11 and the bracket 1, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the lower locking disc 11 during locking. Since the bracket 1 is fixed, the lower locking disc 11 is fixed on the bracket 1 and does not rotate.

[0038] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper locking disc 31 and the lower locking disc 11 are both circular, which effectively avoids the possibility of injury to the staff during operation of the upper locking disc 31 and the lower locking disc 11.

[0039] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper locking disc 31 is circumferentially arranged with a plurality of circular holes 312, and the lower locking disc 11 is symmetrically arranged with a plurality of waist-shaped holes 112. In this embodiment, the circular holes 312 are twenty-four in number, and the waist-shaped holes 112 are two in number. There are always two circular holes 312 on the upper locking disc 31 that are aligned with the waist-shaped holes 112.

[0040] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The lower locking disc 11 is provided with a T-shaped pin shaft 113 and a fixed lock 114 for fixing the upper locking disc 31 and the lower locking disc 11. The T-shaped pin shaft 113 and the fixed lock 114 are both provided with two corresponding to the number and position of the circular holes 312. Since the structure and connection mode of the two T-shaped pin shafts 113 are the same, one of the T-shaped pin shafts 113 will be described as an example.

[0041] With reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The T-shaped pin shaft 113 includes an upper portion 1131 and a lower portion 1132, which are integrally formed. The lower portion 1132 of the T-shaped pin shaft 113 is arranged from top to bottom through the circular hole 312 and the waist-shaped hole 112, and the upper surface of the upper portion 1131 of the T-shaped pin shaft 113 abuts against the upper surface of the upper locking disc 31. The lower portion 1132 of the T-shaped pin shaft 113 is provided with a first fixing hole 11321 through which the fixed lock 114 passes. The fixed lock 114 is locked when in use, and the fixed lock 114 can also directly pass through the circular hole 312 and the waist-shaped hole 112 to lock the upper locking disc 31 and the lower locking disc 11.

[0042] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4The lower locking disc 11 is symmetrically provided with a connecting hole 115, and a fixing wire 1151 for connecting the T-shaped pin shaft 113 is connected in any connecting hole 115 of the lower locking disc 11. The upper portion 1131 of the T-shaped pin shaft 113 is provided with a second fixing hole 11311 for connecting the fixing wire 1151, so that the fixing wire 1151 can firmly fix the T-shaped pin shaft 113 on the lower locking disc 11, avoiding the loss of the T-shaped pin shaft 113 after the staff removes the T-shaped pin shaft 113.

[0043] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , the valve stem nut 3 comprises a connecting portion 32 and a supporting portion 33, which are integrally formed.

By arranging the first bearing 21, the friction between the valve stem nut 3 and the bracket 1 during rotation is effectively reduced, and the durability of the valve stem nut 3 and the bracket 1 is improved.

[0044] With reference to Figure 1 , the second bearing 22 is sleeved on the connecting portion 32 of the valve stem nut 3, the outer ring of the second bearing 22 is in abutting cooperation with the inner wall of the bracket 1, and the lower surface of the second bearing 22 is in abutting cooperation with the upper surface of the supporting portion 33. By arranging the second bearing 22, the friction between the valve stem nut 3 and the bracket 1 during rotation is effectively reduced, the smoothness of the valve stem nut 3 during rotation is improved, and the durability of the valve stem nut 3 and the bracket 1 is improved.

[0045] With reference to Figure 1 , the gland 321 with a T-shaped cross section is sleeved on the connecting portion 32 of the valve stem nut 3, the gland 321 is threadedly connected with the lower locking disc 11 through bolts, the gland 321 comprises an abutting portion 3211 and a pressing portion 3212, which are integrally formed, the lower surface of the abutting portion 3211 is in abutting cooperation with the upper surface of the lower locking disc 11, and the lower surface of the pressing portion 3212 of the gland 321 is in abutting cooperation with the upper surface of the second bearing 22.

[0046] With reference to Figure 1 , by arranging the gland 321, the first bearing 21, the second bearing 22, the supporting portion 33 of the valve stem nut 3 and the lower locking disc 11 can be pressed tightly, and the compactness and stability of the overall structure are improved.

[0047] With reference to Figure 1The connecting portion 32 of the valve stem nut 3 is rotationally connected with a hand wheel 322, the lower surface of the hand wheel 322 is in abutting cooperation with the upper surface of the upper locking disc 31, the hand wheel 322 is convenient for an operator to operate to drive the valve stem nut 3 and the valve stem 2 to rotate, so that the valve stem nut 3 drives the upper locking disc 31 to rotate.

[0048] With reference to Figure 1 The connecting portion 32 of the valve stem nut 3 is threadedly connected with a locking nut 323, the locking nut 323 is arranged above the hand wheel 322, the lower surface of the locking nut 323 is in abutting cooperation with the upper surface of the hand wheel 322, the locking nut 323 is radially provided with an adapting hole 3231 and an anti-rotation pin 324 for preventing the locking nut 323 from rotating, the anti-rotation pin 324 is in plug-in cooperation with the adapting hole 3231.

[0049] With reference to Figure 1 By arranging the locking nut 323 and the anti-rotation pin 324, the possibility of the hand wheel 322 loosening and falling during rotation is reduced, so that the stability and reliability of the hand wheel 322 during rotation are improved.

[0050] The implementation principle of the embodiment is that: when locking the valve, for a large-diameter valve, an operator can first adopt the T-shaped pin shaft 113 to pass through the circular hole 312 and the waist-shaped hole 112 to lock the position, and then use the fixing lock 114 to pass through the first fixing hole 11321 on the T-shaped pin shaft 113 to lock; for a small-diameter valve, the operator can also not adopt the T-shaped pin shaft 113, but directly adopt the fixing lock 114 to pass through the circular hole 312 and the waist-shaped hole 112 to lock the position.

[0051] When starting or closing the valve, the fixing lock 114 and the T-shaped pin shaft 113 are first removed, and then the hand wheel 322 is rotated to open or close the valve.

[0052] The above are preferred embodiments of the application, and do not limit the protection scope of the application, so that: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the application should be covered within the protection scope of the application.
