Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to valve parts device especially butterfly valve is with adjusting pressure plate screw anti looseness structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The valve of the metal or nonmetal pressure plate sealing valve seat structure such as butterfly valve, eccentric half ball valve, butterfly check valve used in large water conveyance engineering, town water supply and drainage, petroleum and petrochemical industry, after being installed to the pipeline and running for a period of time, under the joint action of medium pressure and medium flow scouring, plus the impact of impurities in raw water and sewage pipeline, the screw pre-tightened on the adjusting pressure plate can be loosened or even fall off.

[0003] Generally, the valve product will adjust the adjusting pressure plate screw to the best position during the pressure test before delivery, so that the rubber compression amount or metal sealing ring is in the best state. But the delivery transportation process and installation process will inevitably cause bumps, which will also affect the pre-tightening force of the adjusting pressure plate screw. Once the screw falls off, the valve seal will be invalid, and in serious cases, the impeller will be damaged and the machine will be stopped, which will cause great hidden troubles to people's production and life safety.

[0004] The existing structure sets a flat end locking screw on the adjusting pressure plate to form a counterforce with the pre-tightening force of the pressure plate screw, so that it remains relatively stable. But it cannot fundamentally solve the problem that the pressure plate screw will rotate after loosening. For example, the utility model patent publication number CN2320851Y discloses a square frame butterfly valve, which is composed of a valve body, a valve shaft, a butterfly plate, a body sealing ring and a plate sealing ring. The valve body and the butterfly plate are square and eccentric. The butterfly plate is in the valve body. The body sealing ring and the plate sealing ring are on the sealing surfaces of the valve body and the butterfly plate respectively. The sealing adjusting screw is connected to the butterfly plate through the pressure plate outside the butterfly plate. The patent uses a flat end locking screw on the adjusting pressure plate. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the existing pressure plate screw will rotate after loosening. Therefore, a butterfly valve adjusting pressure plate screw anti-looseness structure is provided.

[0006] The technical scheme of the utility model is: a butterfly valve adjusting pressure plate screw anti-looseness structure, comprising: an adjusting pressure plate; a groove, which is provided in the adjusting pressure plate, comprising a base and an extension; a pressure plate screw, which is installed in the base; a locking washer, which is located in the base and is in the shape of a cylinder, the edge of the cylinder is provided with two lugs which are symmetrically distributed about the center of the cylinder, one of the lugs is a long strip rectangle which extends outward and is in contact with the extension, and the other lug covers the end of the cylinder and has a through hole in the center.

[0007] In the above-mentioned scheme, the locking washer is in the shape of a tapered cylinder.

[0008] The locking washer in the above scheme is cylindrical.

[0009] The other lug in the above scheme is circular or rectangular.

[0010] The locking washer in the above scheme is stamped from stainless steel.

[0011] The utility model discloses the recess for placing the lug is arranged on the adjusting pressure plate, and the space and performance of part are fully utilized, and material is saved and need not increase new part, and after punching, the locking washer can be closely combined with the internal hexagonal hole of pressure plate screw, and effectively prevent the pressure plate screw from rotating loose because of the action of external force, and the locking washer is stamped, and the structure is simple and low in cost, and the reliability is high in the long -term operation pipeline, and the pressure plate screw is avoided to drop or seal failure.
