Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of butterfly valve technology, and specifically relates to a butterfly valve with an impact-resistant structure. Background Technology
[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve, is a simple regulating valve used for on / off control of low-pressure pipeline media. A butterfly valve is characterized by a disc-shaped closing element (valve disc or butterfly plate) that rotates around a valve shaft to open and close. When a butterfly valve is used to shut off flowing media, the medium entering from the inlet experiences significant impact force. This impact can cause the valve disc or butterfly plate, which are responsible for the closing action, to wobble over time. Increased friction on the sealing components can lead to gaps, causing leakage and reducing the valve's shut-off function. Furthermore, the significant impact force can exacerbate damage to the valve body, shortening maintenance or replacement cycles and hindering its long-term use.
[0003] In summary, butterfly valves without an impact-resistant structure have some problems in use, so it is hoped that a new structure can be proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a butterfly valve with an impact-resistant structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a butterfly valve with an impact-resistant structure, comprising: a butterfly valve body, an auxiliary support component, and an inlet buffer component. The lower outer side of the butterfly valve body is provided with a butterfly valve shell. Support seats for installing auxiliary support components are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the front and rear ends of the butterfly valve shell. An auxiliary support component for providing auxiliary support at both ends when the valve core is closed is provided at the end of the support seat away from the butterfly valve shell. Butterfly valve fittings are provided at both ends of the butterfly valve shell. A butterfly valve flange is fixedly connected to the end of the butterfly valve fitting away from the center of the butterfly valve body. An inlet buffer component for buffering the medium before it passes through the butterfly valve body is provided on the right side of the right end of the butterfly valve flange.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the inlet buffer has buffer flanges at both the left and right ends, and a buffer tube with an n-shaped structure is provided between the two sets of buffer flanges.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a medium buffer plate is fixedly connected to the middle position of the upper end of the inner side of the buffer tube. The left end of the buffer flange is fixed to the right end of the butterfly valve flange by bolts. The outer side of the support base is provided with external threads. The inlet buffer is fixed to the inlet side of the butterfly valve body by connecting the buffer flange to the right end of the butterfly valve flange, so that the flowing medium is buffered by the buffer tube and the buffer plate.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, buffer springs are provided on the outer side of the support base and at both ends of the butterfly valve housing. The auxiliary support component has a handle at the end away from the butterfly valve body, and a connecting ring is provided at the end of the handle near the butterfly valve body.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the inner side of the connecting ring is provided with an internal thread, which is threadedly engaged with the external thread.
[0010] The butterfly valve housing has a valve core for controlling the flow of the medium inside. The valve core has a rotating shaft inside. The butterfly valve housing has a control column above it. The control column has a control wheel above it. The auxiliary support rotates to engage the external thread and the internal thread, causing the support column to move toward the valve core and engage with both the external and internal support holes. This provides auxiliary support to both ends of the valve core and improves its impact resistance.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, arc-shaped protrusions for improving the strength of the valve core are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the valve core, and external support holes are opened at the center of the front and rear ends of the butterfly valve body and the support seat.
[0012] The valve core has inner support holes on its outer surfaces at both ends. The connecting ring has a support column at its inner center. The support column is fitted into both the outer and inner support holes. The arc-shaped protrusion seat can improve the strength of the valve core and enhance its impact resistance.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the right side of the butterfly valve flange at the right end is provided with a fitting ring groove, and a retaining ring is movably installed inside the fitting ring groove. The retaining ring is composed of an outer fitting circular plate and an inner buffer column. The fitting circular plate and the fitting circular groove fit together, so that the retaining ring can be installed in the fitting circular groove at the inlet, and the medium is buffered by the buffer column.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model after adopting the above technical solution are as follows: By adding the butterfly valve body, auxiliary support, and inlet buffer, the inlet buffer is installed at the inlet end of the butterfly valve, and the flange of the butterfly valve and the flange of the buffer are fixed by bolts. The medium enters through the inlet buffer, flows through the buffer pipe and the buffer plate to reduce the impact force of the water flow. The auxiliary support is rotated and fixed by screwing the external thread and the internal thread of the connection, so that the support column is fitted with the external support hole and the internal support hole, and supports the front and rear ends of the valve core when it is closed, thereby achieving the effect of anti-impact. By adding the butterfly valve body, a retaining ring can be installed in the fitting groove at the inlet, so that the medium is buffered by the buffer column. Attached Figure Description
