Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a wear-resistant packing sealing structure, including a valve body 7, a valve stem 1 is provided inside the valve body 7, and a bearing 2 and a sealing ring 3 are provided between the bottom of the valve stem 1 and the valve body 7 for sealing connection, with the sealing ring 3 located above the bearing 2.

[0022] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 3 is an O-ring.

[0023] A multi-seal structure 4 is provided between the middle of the valve stem 1 and the valve body 7. The upper end of the multi-seal structure 4 extends to the outside of the valve body 7. A pressure plate 6 is provided at the top of the multi-seal structure 4. A compressed butterfly spring 5 is provided between the pressure plate 6 and the multi-seal structure 4. The pressure plate 6 and the valve body 7 are fixedly connected by a bolt assembly 8.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the multi-seal structure 4 includes packing 4-1, which is tightly filled between the valve stem 1 and the valve body 7. A packing sleeve 4-2 is provided at the upper end of the packing 4-1, which presses the packing 4-1 tightly. A bushing 4-3 is provided between the packing sleeve 4-2 and the valve stem 1, which protects the valve stem 1 from wear. The upper end of the packing sleeve 4-2 is in close contact with the butterfly spring 5. The packing sleeve 4-2 is a T-shaped sleeve structure, with a sleeve 4-2-1 on it, and the bushing 4-3 is located between the sleeve 4-2-1 and the valve stem 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the butterfly spring 5 is configured as multiple overlapping structures, wherein two butterfly springs 5 ​​are arranged in a paired combination. When the valve stem 1 experiences slight leakage, the butterfly springs 5 ​​can provide compensation.

[0026] In this embodiment, an annular boss 1-1 is provided at the bottom of the valve stem 1, and the inner ring of the bearing 2 abuts against the annular boss 1-1. The bearing 2 is a single-flange bearing, and the outer wall of the outer ring of the bearing 2 has a first stepped surface 2-1 facing away from the annular boss 1-1. The first stepped surface 2-1 and a second stepped surface 7-1 are in close contact and fit together. The second stepped surface 7-1 is located on the valve body 7. The bearing 2 serves to lubricate and seal the valve stem 1 during rotation. In this embodiment, the bearing 2 is a sealed bearing made of RPTFE material.

[0027] In this embodiment, the valve stem 1 is provided with a groove 1-2, and the sealing ring 3 is disposed in the groove 1-2.

[0028] In this embodiment, the packing 4-1 has a multi-layer wedge structure. Specifically, the packing 4-1 is composed of multiple packing layers with a cross-section that is wider inside and narrower outside, and packing layers with a cross-section that is narrower inside and wider outside, stacked in sequence. This design structure results in more uniform stress distribution and better sealing performance.

[0029] In this embodiment, the installation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] First, during installation, the bearing 2 and sealing ring 3 are first fitted onto the valve stem 1 inside the valve body 7 to provide a seal between the valve stem 1 and the valve body 7. Then, the packing 4-1 is installed and tightened. Next, the bushing 4-3 is installed inside the sleeve 4-2-1 of the packing sleeve 4-2. Then, the bushing 4-3 and the packing sleeve 4-2 are fitted onto the valve stem 1 together, ensuring that the upper part of the bushing 4-3 and the packing sleeve 4-2 protrudes to the outside of the valve body 7. Then, the butterfly spring 5, which is arranged in a mating combination, is installed on the valve stem 1 and pressed tightly onto the packing sleeve 4-2. Finally, the pressure plate 6 is placed on top of the butterfly spring 5, and the pressure plate 6 is tightly connected to the valve body 7 by the bolt assembly 8.

[0031] The packing 4-1 in this invention has a multi-layer wedge structure, which provides uniform stress, good flexibility, high resilience, and excellent sealing performance, effectively ensuring that the sealing part of the valve stem 1 will not leak. The bushing 4-3 inside the packing sleeve 4-2 can reduce friction and valve torque during rapid rotation of the valve stem 1, thus extending the service life of the valve stem 1. The butterfly spring 5 is pre-compressed and can compensate for minor leaks in the valve stem 1, ensuring the long-lasting seal of the packing 4-1.
