Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of head, especially a butterfly head. BACKGROUND
[0002] The butterfly head, also known as a ball head with a folded edge, is composed of a spherical surface, a cylindrical straight edge with a certain height, and a transition part with a smaller curvature radius than the spherical surface.
[0003] The disc head is a continuous curved surface. At the junction of the three parts, the meridian curvature radius has a sudden change. Due to the change in curvature, there is a bending stress. The superposition of the bending stress and the tensile stress makes the stress of this part stand out from other parts. Compared with the elliptical head, the stress distribution is not as uniform, and it is more commonly used in low-pressure environments. However, its processing is easier than that of the elliptical head, so it is still widely used in the field of pressure vessels.
[0004] The Chinese utility model patent with patent application number CN202122083632.7 records a stainless steel butterfly head. When the pressure impacts the bottom cover upward, the bottom cover transmits the force to the second buffer plate through the second support column at the upper end. The second buffer plate transmits the force to the honeycomb buffer layer. The honeycomb support frame inside the honeycomb buffer layer is subjected to the force generated by the second clamp plate. The honeycomb support frame is a series of continuous honeycomb-shaped net structures arranged in multiple walls, which can disperse external forces from all directions and improve the internal bearing capacity of the stainless steel head. However, the above-mentioned butterfly head disperses internal pressure to all parts of the head through the honeycomb-shaped net structure to avoid damage to the butterfly head caused by excessive local pressure. However, it cannot reduce the kinetic energy generated by the pressure when the pressure is too large, which makes it difficult for the butterfly head to resist the pressure of the overload and be damaged when the pressure is overloaded for a short time. This reduces the ability of the butterfly head to respond to short-term overload and reduces the reliability and risk resistance of the butterfly head. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0025] The energy absorption structure 5 is used for absorbing and reducing the energy generated by the pressure of gas or liquid medium.
[0026] Reference Figures 2-5 The energy absorption structure 5 comprises a plurality of abutting plates 51 distributed from top to bottom, and a plurality of energy absorption pieces 53 fixedly connected at the top of the abutting plates 51, the plurality of energy absorption pieces 53 being uniformly distributed at the top of the abutting plates 51, two adjacent abutting plates 51 being connected by a connecting piece 52, and the uppermost abutting plate 51 being connected with the connecting plate 4 by the connecting piece 52.
[0027] Reference Figures 2-5 The connecting piece 52 is a first elastic piece, the top end of the first elastic piece being fixedly connected with the bottom of the upper adjacent abutting plate 51, the plurality of first elastic pieces being uniformly distributed at the top of the abutting plates 51, the plurality of first elastic pieces and the plurality of energy absorption pieces 53 being staggered distributed, and a gap being left between the top end of the energy absorption piece 53 and the bottom of the upper adjacent abutting plate 51.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The energy absorption piece 53 is composed of a straight rod 531 fixedly connected at the top of the abutting plate 51 and a plurality of inclined rods 532, the plurality of inclined rods 532 being distributed in a ring shape at equal angles with the axis of the straight rod 531 as the center, the inclined rod 532 being arranged in an inclined manner, and the straight rod 531 and the inclined rod 532 being made of a material that is easy to break and deform.
[0029] Specifically, the energy absorption piece 53 can more fully withstand the pressure from multiple directions, thereby better absorbing the energy generated by the pressure of gas or liquid medium, improving the energy absorption effect, and further effectively improving the reliability and risk resistance of the butterfly head.
[0030] Reference Figure 2The top of the connecting plate 4 and the inner concave surface of the top plate 2 are fixedly connected with a plurality of groups of support rods 6, and each group of the plurality of support rods 6 is annularly and equiangularly distributed on the top surface of the connecting plate 4, and the support rods 6 are all perpendicular to the tangent line at the connecting point between the top end of the support rod 6 and the inner concave surface of the top plate 2.
[0031] Specifically, the pressure generated by the gas or liquid medium can be more uniformly conducted to the top plate 2 and the spherical head 1, the local pressure on the spherical head 1 is reduced, the safety of the spherical head 1 is protected, and the reliability of the butterfly head is improved.

In the pressure conduction process, the first elastic member, the second elastic layer 7 and the first elastic layer 3 cooperate to produce a buffering effect to reduce the pressure and impact on the spherical head 1, thereby protecting the safety of the butterfly head.
[0035] When the gas or liquid pressure is overloaded for a short time, the first elastic member will be compressed to a greater extent until the straight rod 531 and the inclined rod 532 collide with the abutting plate 51 adjacent to the upper side and are deformed and broken, thereby absorbing part of the energy generated by the gas or liquid pressure, avoiding damage to the spherical head 1 caused by the impact of the overload pressure, avoiding damage to the spherical head 1 caused by the leakage of the gas or liquid medium, and improving the reliability and pressure resistance and impact resistance of the butterfly head.
