Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flange butterfly valve technology, specifically a double flange butterfly valve. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, butterfly valves, also known as flap valves, are a type of simple regulating valve that can be used for on / off control of low-pressure pipeline media. A butterfly valve is a valve in which the closing element, the valve disc or butterfly plate, is a disc that rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing. Butterfly valves are not only simple in structure, small in size, light in weight, economical in material consumption, small in installation size, low in driving torque, easy and quick to operate, but also have good flow regulation function and sealing characteristics.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN217207961U discloses a double-flange butterfly valve, including a butterfly valve body. First flanges are fixed to the openings at both ends of the butterfly valve body, and a second flange is inserted into the outer side of each first flange. The outer side of the second flange can connect to an external pipeline. The first flange includes a first disc and a retaining ring disposed on one side of the first disc. The retaining ring is arranged circumferentially outward along the first through hole in the middle of the first disc. The second flange includes a second disc, and a U-shaped retaining groove with an outward opening is provided on one side of the second disc corresponding to the retaining ring. A sealing ring is provided circumferentially outward on the inner wall of the retaining groove at the second through hole in the middle of the second disc. The first flange is engaged with the retaining ring through the engagement of the retaining ring and the retaining groove, and the sealing surface on the outer side of the retaining ring is pressed tightly against the sealing ring. The advantages of this utility model are: it facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the butterfly valve body and the external pipeline, allowing the butterfly valve body to be directly removed from between the two second flanges without having to disassemble the bolts used to connect the first flanges to the external pipeline one by one.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent allows the butterfly valve body to be removed directly between the two second flanges without having to disassemble the bolts used to connect the first flange to the external pipeline, the double-flanged butterfly valve in this patent is easily operated by outsiders during use, opening and closing the double-flanged butterfly valve without preventing misoperation, thus reducing its practicality. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a double-flanged butterfly valve, which has the advantages of increasing the difficulty of opening and closing the butterfly valve and making it difficult for outsiders to open and close it. This solves the problem that double-flanged butterfly valves are easily operated by outsiders during use, and the valve cannot be opened and closed by outsiders, thus failing to prevent misoperation and reducing its practicality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a double-flanged butterfly valve, comprising a double-flanged butterfly valve body, a valve stem rotatably connected inside the double-flanged butterfly valve body via a sealed bearing, a valve plate provided at the bottom end of the valve stem, a rubber sealing ring provided on the outer side of the valve plate, the valve plate being located inside the double-flanged butterfly valve body, the rubber sealing ring fitting with the gap of the double-flanged butterfly valve body, a cavity shell provided on the upper surface of the double-flanged butterfly valve body, the top end of the valve stem rotatably penetrating the double-flanged butterfly valve body and extending into the cavity shell, and an opening and closing mechanism provided on the right side of the cavity shell;

The first sliding hole is opened through the right side of the cavity shell, and the plug rod is slidably connected inside the first sliding hole with a clearance fit. The second sliding hole is opened through the right side of the fixed shell, and the plug rod is slidably connected inside the second sliding hole with a clearance fit. The first bevel gear is located on the outer side of the valve stem tip, and the second bevel gear meshes with the outer side of the first bevel gear. The drive rod is located inside the second bevel gear.

[0009] By adopting this technical solution, the difficulty of opening and closing the butterfly valve can be increased, making it less likely for outsiders to open or close the butterfly valve.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive rod is rotatably connected to the left side wall of the cavity via a sealed bearing, and the left side rotates through the cavity and extends to the left side, with the second handle located on the left side of the drive rod.

[0011] By adopting this technical solution, the drive rod can be rotated by turning the second handle.

[0012] Furthermore, at least two of the aforementioned insertion slots are evenly distributed on the outer side of the valve stem.

[0013] By adopting this technical solution, the stability of the valve plate inside the double-flanged butterfly valve body can be improved.

[0014] Furthermore, the spring telescopic rod includes a first movable rod, a second movable rod is slidably connected inside the first movable rod, and a spring is movably fitted on the outer side of the first movable rod.

[0015] By adopting this technical solution, the stress of the upper and lower spring telescopic rods can drive the left side of the plug rod to slide into the corresponding plug slot.

[0016] Furthermore, the movable plate and the fixed shell are fitted together with a gap, and the left side of the movable plate is attached to the right side of the cavity shell.

[0017] By adopting this technical solution, the movable plate can move inside the fixed shell, improving the stability of the left and right movement of the plug rod.

[0018] Furthermore, a supporting U-shaped frame is provided on the left side of the cavity shell, and the drive rod is rotatably connected to the inside of the supporting U-shaped frame through a bearing.

[0019] By adopting this technical solution, the stability of the drive rod rotation can be improved by supporting the U-shaped frame.

[0020] Furthermore, an anti-slip layer, which is a rubber layer, is provided on the outer side of the first rotating handle.

[0021] By adopting this technical solution, the anti-slip performance of the outer side of the first rotating handle is improved.

[0022] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the right side wall of the inner cavity of the double-flange butterfly valve body, and the baffles are all located on the front of the valve plate and the rubber sealing ring.

[0023] By adopting this technical solution, one side of the valve plate can be blocked by a baffle, which facilitates the limiting of the valve plate after the butterfly valve is opened.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] This double-flanged butterfly valve requires two hands to operate during opening and closing. The first handle is pulled, and then the second handle is rotated to open and close the valve. This increases the difficulty of opening and closing the valve, making it less likely for unauthorized personnel to operate and preventing accidental operation. Additionally, the left side of the plug rod can slide into the corresponding plug groove, limiting and fixing the valve plate to prevent rotation within the valve body and improving the stability of the valve when closed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the opening and closing mechanism 6 is set to operate the double flange butterfly valve body 1 with both hands. The first rotating handle 66 is pulled and the second handle 676 is rotated to open and close the double flange butterfly valve. This increases the difficulty of opening and closing the double flange butterfly valve, making it less likely for outsiders to open and close the butterfly valve, and can play a certain role in preventing misoperation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first bevel gear 673 is disposed on the outer side of the top of the valve stem 2, the second bevel gear 674 meshes with the outer side of the first bevel gear 673, the drive rod 675 is disposed inside the second bevel gear 674, the drive rod 675 is rotatably connected to the left side wall of the cavity 5 through a sealed bearing, and the left side rotates through the cavity 5 and extends to the left side, the second handle 676 is disposed on the left side of the drive rod 675, and at least two insertion slots 62 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the valve stem 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the double-flanged butterfly valve is opened, the first rotating handle 66 can be pulled to the right with one hand, compressing the upper and lower spring telescopic rods 64. The moving plate 65 moves to the right inside the fixed shell 61, causing the plug rod 63 to move to the right inside both the first sliding hole 671 and the second sliding hole 672. The left side of the plug rod 63 moves out of the right plug groove 62. Then, the second handle 676 is rotated with the other hand.
