Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slide gate valve technology, and more specifically to a vertical slide gate valve with worm gear drive. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical slide gate valve controls the flow of media in a pipeline by raising and lowering a gate. The valve mainly consists of a valve body, valve seat, slide gate, and sealing mechanism. A guide rail is installed inside the valve body, within which the slide gate can slide up and down. When the slide gate rises, the media can flow freely through the valve; when the slide gate descends, it fits tightly against the valve seat, cutting off the media's passage. Simultaneously, due to the pressure difference, a good seal is formed between the slide gate and the valve seat, preventing media leakage.

[0003] The existing vertical slide gate valves have the following problems during use: 1) The valve body frame structure of the existing vertical slide gate valve is complex, difficult to weld, complicated in process, heavy, and costly; 2) The slide gate valve uses chain or screw drive, and the screw is expensive to process; and when the chain tension is not high, it is easy to cause tooth skipping; 3) The slide gate valve uses a wire rope to move the slide plate, which uses a double drum and double motor, and uses a combination of fixed pulleys and moving pulleys. The use of multiple pulley groups results in slow lifting speed, increased wire rope length, increased cost, and inconvenient installation; 4) The clamping of the existing vertical slide gate valve uses a toothed ring or chain drive, and the large toothed ring is complicated to process and relatively expensive.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] A worm gear driven vertical slide gate valve, combined with Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the valve body includes a fixed valve body 1 disposed within the lower frame 12 of the valve body. The fixed valve body 1 is provided with a valve plate 5 and a movable valve seat 11. The valve plate 5 is used to open and close the valve body, and the movable valve seat 11 is used to clamp and release the valve plate.

[0022] A valve body upper frame 13 is provided above the lower valve body frame 12. A valve body crossbeam 14 is provided at the top of the upper valve body frame 13. A lifting device 2 is provided on the side of the lower valve body frame 12 to drive the valve plate 5 to move up and down. A sliding plate electric actuator 3 is provided on the side of the lifting device 2 to drive the lifting device. A steel wire rope 4 is provided between the lifting device 2 and the valve plate 5. The end of the steel wire rope 4 is connected to the top of the valve plate 5 to drive the valve plate to move up and down. The steel wire rope material is readily available, low in cost, and easy to install.

[0023] The lifting device 2 includes a drum box 15 and a transmission box 16. The drum box 15 is mounted on the lower frame 12 of the valve body. Inside the drum box 15, a wire rope drum 17 is mounted via a rotating shaft 18 for winding the wire rope 4. A large gear 19 is mounted on the rotating shaft 18 on the outside of the drum box 15. The transmission box 16 is located on the outside of the drum box. Inside the transmission box 16, a small gear 20 is mounted, which meshes with the large gear. The walk plate electric actuator 3 is connected to the rotating shaft of the small gear 20. The walk plate electric actuator drives the small gear to rotate. When the small gear rotates, it drives the large gear meshing with it to rotate. The rotation of the large gear drives the wire rope drum to rotate, realizing the unwinding and rewinding of the wire rope, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the valve plate. Furthermore, the lifting device consists of large and small gears and a wire rope drum, which is easy to process and has a smooth transmission. The drum box is welded to the lower frame of the valve body, and the walkway is directly connected to the small gear, driving the large gear and the wire rope drum to rotate. This eliminates the need for the intermediate transmission link using a worm gear box, resulting in a simple structure, easy installation, and low cost.

[0024] Fixed pulleys 6 are installed on both the valve body upper frame 13 and the valve body crossbeam 14 to guide the wire rope. There are three sets of fixed pulleys 6, two sets on the valve body crossbeam and one set on the valve body upper frame, which is convenient and simple to install and saves costs.

[0025] A worm gear assembly 8 is provided at the clamping point of the movable valve seat 11, and a clamping electric device 10 is provided on the lower frame 12 of the valve body to drive the worm gear assembly to achieve the clamping and release of the movable valve seat.

[0026] Two worm gear assemblies 8 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the movable valve seat 11. The worm gear assemblies 8 on the same side are connected by a spline universal coupling 21 to realize the linkage of the worm gear assemblies. The lower frame 12 of the valve body is provided with a first bevel gear box 9 and a second bevel gear box 7 on the upper and lower sides respectively. The first bevel gear box 9 and the second bevel gear box 7 are respectively connected to the upper worm gear assembly and the lower worm gear assembly to drive the worm gear assembly on the corresponding side to move. A coupling is provided between the first bevel gear box 9 and the second bevel gear box 7. The clamping electric device 10 is connected to the rotating shaft of the first bevel gear box 9. The clamping electric device drives the first bevel gear box to rotate. Under the action of the coupling, the second bevel gear box also rotates, driving the worm gear assemblies on the upper and lower sides of the movable valve seat to rotate, realizing the clamping and releasing of the movable valve seat.

[0027] The worm gear assembly 8 includes a lead screw 23 that meshes with the spline universal coupling 21 via a gear set. A lead screw nut 24 is sleeved on the lead screw 23 and is connected to the movable valve seat 11. A bellows 22 is provided between the movable valve seat and the fixed valve body. When the first bevel gear box 9 and the second bevel gear box 7 rotate, they drive the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw causes the lead screw nut on the lead screw to slide along the lead screw, which in turn drives the movable valve seat to move left and right along the fixed valve body. The bellows on the movable valve seat moves with the movable valve seat, thereby realizing the clamping and release of the valve plate by the movable valve seat.

[0028] When this utility model is in use, the clamping electric device is activated. The clamping electric device drives four sets of worm gear assemblies to rotate synchronously through the first bevel gear box and the second bevel gear box. By controlling the rotation of the lead screw in the worm gear assembly, the movable valve seat is driven to release the valve plate. When the movable valve seat is released into place, the clamping electric device stops working, and the plate moving electric device starts working. The plate moving electric device drives the wire rope to rotate through the lifting device. By tightening and loosening the wire rope, the valve plate moves up and down.
