[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example 1, as Figures 1-3 As shown, a flanged discharge valve includes a valve body 1. A sealing plate 2 is provided in the inner cavity of the valve body 1. One end of an upper main shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the upper side surface of the sealing plate 2 through a gear hole. The other end of the upper main shaft 3 passes through the valve body 1 and is connected to a butterfly handle 5 through a gear shaft 4. The upper part of the gear shaft 4 is connected to one end of a handle 7 through a fixing bolt 6. The other end of the handle 7 is located below the butterfly handle 5 and cooperates with the butterfly handle 5. One end of a lower main shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the lower side surface of the sealing plate 2. The other end of the lower main shaft 8 is movably connected to the valve body 1 through a bottom bushing 9.

[0022] A dry coupling valve connector housing 10 is provided on the rear side of the valve body 1. The dry coupling valve connector housing 10 and the valve body 1 are integrally structured. The inner cavity of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10 is coaxial with and connected to the inner cavity of the valve body 1. A fixed liner 11 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10. A valve core rod 12 is movably installed in the middle of the fixed liner 11 along the axial direction of the inner cavity of the valve body 1. A valve core 13 is fixedly installed coaxially at the end of the valve core rod 12 away from the sealing plate 2. The valve core 13 is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10 and covers the inlet of the inner cavity of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10. A lifting spring 14 is sleeved on the outer surface of the valve core rod 12. The two ends of the lifting spring 14 abut against the liner 11 and the valve core 13 respectively. The lifting spring 14 biases the valve core 13 toward the inlet of the inner cavity of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] In this embodiment, the front side of the valve body 1 can be mounted on the bottom of the tank truck via a mounting flange. In the non-operating state, the sealing plate 2 is in a closed state, and the valve core 13, through the elastic force of the lifting spring 14, abuts against the inner wall of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10, effectively achieving a sealing effect and ensuring that hazardous gases inside the tank truck do not leak out.

[0025] When it is necessary to open the valve, first connect the male connector of the dry coupling valve to the end of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10 away from the valve body 1, so that the dry coupling valve is in the docked state. Then rotate the handle of the dry coupling valve so that the valve core push block inside the dry coupling valve pushes the valve core 13 forward, so that the valve core 13 separates from the inner wall of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10, thereby forming a connected cavity between the inner cavity of the valve body of the dry coupling valve and the inner cavity of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10. At this time, the oil-gas coupling valve is in the fully open working state. Then, the butterfly handle 5 and the handle 7 are clamped together to rotate the butterfly handle 5. Through the fixed connection between the butterfly handle 5 and the gear shaft 4 and the upper main shaft 3, the upper main shaft 3 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the sealing plate 2 at the lower end of the upper main shaft 3 to rotate, thereby opening the butterfly valve. This completes the opening of the entire discharge valve.

[0026] Similarly, when it is necessary to close the discharge valve, first rotate the handle of the dry coupling valve to retract the valve core push block inside the dry coupling valve to its initial position. This allows the valve core 13 to again press against the inner wall of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10 through the elastic force of the lifting spring 14, thereby achieving a sealing effect. Then, rotate the butterfly handle 5 to drive the sealing plate 2 to rotate and close. This completes the closing of the butterfly valve.

[0027] In this embodiment, by integrally mounting the dry coupling valve connector housing 10 on the rear side of the valve body 1, the structural length of the butterfly valve body 1 itself can be utilized to effectively ensure sufficient space between the valve core rod 12 and the sealing plate 2 on the inlet side of the butterfly valve. This effectively avoids interference when the male connector of the dry coupling valve is mated with the dry coupling valve connector housing 10. Furthermore, the integral mounting of the valve body 1 and the dry coupling valve connector housing 10 also effectively ensures the compactness of the overall structure, thereby effectively reducing the overall height of the discharge valve.

[0028] In Example 2, as a further preferred embodiment of Example 1, a sealing element 15 is provided along the circumference of the front surface of the sealing plate 2. The sealing element 15 is fixedly snapped onto the valve body 1, and a pressure plate 16 is installed on the outer side of the sealing plate 2. The pressure plate 16 is used to limit and fix the sealing element 15. The sealing element 15 achieves a sealing effect between the outer ring of the sealing plate 2 and the valve body 1. When installing the sealing element 15, it can be installed from the pressure side first, and then the pressure plate 16 can be installed on the outer side of the sealing plate 2. After the butterfly valve is installed with the corresponding flange, the pressure plate 16 can achieve the positioning effect of the sealing element 15. Similarly, when disassembly is required, the sealing element 15 can be removed simply by removing the pressure plate 16.

[0029] In embodiment three, as a further preferred embodiment one, a positioning pin opening is provided on the upper surface of the handle 7, a limiting groove 17 is provided in the butterfly handle 5, a handle positioning pin 18 is movably installed in the limiting groove 17, the upper end of the handle positioning pin 18 passes through the positioning pin opening and is fixedly connected to the opening ring 19, a positioning block 20 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the handle positioning pin 18, a handle spring 21 is provided on the outer surface of the handle positioning pin 18, the handle spring 21 is located between the positioning block 20 and the limiting groove 17, a positioning packing plate 22 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the valve body 1, a plurality of positioning holes 23 are provided on the surface of the positioning packing plate 22, and the positioning block 20 matches the positioning holes 23.

[0030] When in use, when the butterfly handle 5 and the handle 7 are clamped together, the handle positioning pin 18 in the limiting groove 17 will be lifted, causing the positioning block 20 at the lower end of the handle positioning pin 18 to separate from the positioning hole 23. Then, the butterfly handle 5 is rotated to drive the upper main shaft 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the sealing plate 2 to rotate, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the butterfly valve. When it is rotated to the designated position, the handle 7 is released. Through the elastic action of the handle spring 21 on the outer surface of the handle positioning pin 18, the handle positioning pin 18 is driven to move downward, which causes the positioning block 20 to engage in the appropriate positioning hole 23, thereby achieving the positioning effect of the upper main shaft 3 and the sealing plate 2.

[0031] In Example 4, as a further preferred embodiment of Example 1, a guide bushing 24 is fixedly installed in the middle of the liner 11, and the valve core rod 12 passes through the guide bushing 24 and is slidably connected to the guide bushing 24. The guide bushing 24 effectively ensures the stability of the valve core rod 12 during movement.

[0032] In Example 5, as a further preferred embodiment of Example 1, a dust cover 25 is installed at the end of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10 away from the sealing plate 2. Therefore, in the non-operating state, the dust cover 25 can be closed onto the end of the dry coupling valve connector housing 10 to prevent dust from adhering to the surface of the valve core 13.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
