Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch valve technology, specifically a valve body fork assembly. Background Technology
[0002] A gate valve is a type of valve used to control fluid flow. It is mainly used to open and close fluid in pipelines. Its working principle is to achieve the flow or blockage of fluid through a gate (or sluice gate) perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow. Gate valves are usually used in fully open or fully closed situations and are not suitable for regulating flow.
[0003] A gate valve consists of a valve body, valve stem, valve plate, and manual operating lever. Operating principle:
[0004] Open the valve:
[0005] The operator rotates the valve stem using a handwheel or handle.
[0006] The rotation of the valve stem causes the valve plate to move upward, opening the fluid passage.
[0007] When the valve plate is fully raised, the fluid can flow freely.
[0008] Close the valve:
[0009] The operator then rotates the handwheel or handle again, usually counterclockwise.
[0010] The rotation of the valve stem causes the valve plate to move downwards, gradually closing the fluid passage.
[0011] When the valve plate is fully depressed, fluid flow is blocked.
[0012] As can be seen from the operation switch of the valve body, it needs to be opened and closed manually. At the same time, the operating rod is exposed to the air, and the influence of air composition can easily cause the operating rod to rust and tighten, making it difficult to open and close, and it is also easy to cause gaps and leakage.
[0013] Therefore, this application designs a valve body shift fork assembly that is convenient to switch on and off and provides airtight protection to solve this deficiency in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the valve stem passes vertically through the outer cover, and the outer cover is provided with a limiting through hole for the valve stem to pass through.

[0042] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, a valve body fork assembly includes an outer cover 1, a valve stem 10, and a valve plate 11, wherein the valve stem 10 and the valve plate 11 are integrally connected.
[0044] The outer cover 1 is a cuboid with an open upper surface. The lower surface of the outer cover 1 is connected to the valve body by a fastening nut and a sealing ring is used to fill the gap for sealing, so that the valve stem 10 and the valve plate 11 are installed in the valve body.
[0045] In this embodiment, the outer cover 1 is provided with a drive fork linkage structure that drives the valve stem 10 to move linearly up and down.
[0046] It should be noted that the drive fork linkage structure includes a drive rotating component and a fork linkage component.
[0047] Drive rotating parts,
[0048] It includes a micro motor 3 that is fixed to the surface of the outer cover 1 by fastening screws, and a rotating shaft 4 that rotates circumferentially with the inner wall of the outer cover 1 is fixed to the output shaft of the micro motor 3 by fastening screws. A fork rotating seat 5 that is concentrically arranged in a cylindrical shape is fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 4.
[0049] The micro motor 3 has a self-locking function, which is existing technology. It is easy to achieve self-locking after the drive rotates and moves the valve plate 11 through linkage, so as to avoid the movement of the valve plate 11 from affecting the sealing and flow control effect.
[0050] It should be added that the surface of the micro motor 3 is equipped with heat dissipation fins for heat dissipation during operation.
[0051] The shift fork linkage component
[0052] This includes a fork rod 6 that is fixed to the front and rear sides of the fork rotating seat 5 by fastening screws. The surface of the fork rod 6 is provided with a limiting hole 7. A fork limiting block 8 is slidably limited in the limiting hole 6. A fork connecting rod 9 connected to the valve stem 10 is installed between the fork limiting blocks 8.
[0053] The width of the fork limiting block 8 located outside the fork rod 6 is greater than the width of the limiting hole 7.
[0054] A movable seat is installed and fixed on the inner wall of the outer cover 1, and the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the movable seat for circumferential rotation. A controller 13 is installed and fixed on the surface of the outer cover 1.
[0055] It should be added that the surface of the controller 13 is provided with heat dissipation windows to ensure heat dissipation.
[0056] The controller 13 is electrically connected to the micro motor 3. The controller 13 stores electricity to supply power to the micro motor 3 and realizes system control of the controller 13.
[0057] The valve stem 10 passes vertically through the outer cover 1, and the outer cover 1 is provided with a limiting through hole for the valve stem 10 to pass through.
[0058] The limiting perforation has the same diameter as the valve stem 10.
[0059] Please see Figures 4 to 6 In this embodiment, the outer cover 1 is provided with a sealing and protective component to protect the drive fork linkage structure.
[0060] It should be noted that the sealing and protection assembly includes a cover 2 that is fixed to the opening on the surface of the outer cover 1 by fastening screws and a corrugated telescopic tube 12 that is fixed between the fork connecting rod 9 and the outer cover 1 and located outside the valve stem 10.
[0061] Among them, the corrugated expansion tube 12 is a rubber tube that can be extended and retracted.
[0062] The extension and retraction distances of the corrugated telescopic tube 12 are both greater than the vertical movement distance of the valve stem 10, thus preventing the corrugated telescopic tube 12 from restricting the movement of the valve stem 10.
[0063] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0064] When in use, the outer cover 1 replaces the valve cover and is sealed to the valve body, and the valve stem 10 and valve plate 11 are located in the valve body. At the same time, the valve plate 11 is inserted into the valve seat. When the switch is controlled, the micro motor 3 drives the fork rotating seat 5 on the rotating shaft 4 to rotate in the forward and reverse directions.
[0065] The forward and reverse rotation of the shift fork rotating seat 5 drives the shift fork rod 6 to deflect synchronously in the forward and reverse directions. In conjunction with the shift fork limiting block 8 on the shift fork connecting rod 9, the shift fork rod 6 slides within the limiting hole 7 on the shift fork rod 6. When the shift fork rod 6 deflects in the forward and reverse directions, it drives the shift fork connecting rod 9 and the shift fork limiting block 8 to move, which in turn drives the valve rod 10 and the valve plate 11 to move vertically up and down, thereby realizing opening and closing and achieving convenient switching.
[0066] In addition, the outer cover 1 and the cap 2 form a sealed space to provide sealed protection for the drive fork linkage structure. In conjunction with the expansion and contraction and sealing effect of the corrugated telescopic tube 12, the valve stem 10 moves synchronously and automatically extends and retracts, while sealing the gap between the valve stem 10 and the outer cover 1 to achieve a fully sealed state. This prevents air from entering the outer cover 1 and causing corrosion of the internal structure, and also prevents leakage caused by gaps in the valve stem 10 during movement.
[0067] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer, and the existing publicly available power connection technology will not be elaborated in the text.
