Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve stem technology, specifically relating to a gate valve stem with a protection mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The valve stem is an important component of a valve. It connects to the actuator or handle at the top and directly drives the valve core to move or rotate at the bottom, so as to realize the valve opening and closing or regulation. In the process of opening and closing a gate valve, the valve stem is not only a moving part and a force-bearing part, but also a sealing part.
[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. 202420350644.2 discloses a gate valve stem with an external protective structure. This gate valve stem includes a stem body with an external thread on its arc-shaped surface and an annular groove on the same surface. A sealing element is engaged within the annular groove. A protective device is provided at one end of the stem body, including an embedded groove. A protective sleeve is fitted onto one end of the stem body, and a lead screw is fixedly connected to one end of the protective sleeve. An embedded block and a reinforcing block are fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the protective sleeve, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw. The embedded block, fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the protective sleeve, is installed inside the embedded groove. When the protective sleeve rotates, it can drive the stem body to rotate together, effectively preventing damage to the stem body caused by rainwater and environmental factors.
[0004] The aforementioned patents have the following drawbacks when in use: the protective cover is difficult to install, time-consuming and laborious, causing inconvenience; and when the valve handle is damaged, the valve can be closed by turning the fixing block with a wrench, thus limiting its use. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this utility model provides a gate valve stem with a protective mechanism, featuring convenient installation and removal of the protective sleeve and easy valve closure.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gate valve stem with a protection mechanism, comprising a valve stem body, a protective sleeve provided on the upper surface of the valve stem body, fixing components provided on both sides of the protective sleeve, pin holes provided on both sides of the valve stem body, an external thread provided on the lower surface of the valve stem body, a lead screw provided at the upper end of the protective sleeve, and a fixing block provided at the upper end of the lead screw.
[0007] Preferably, the fixing component includes a limiting mechanism, a sleeve, a limiting block, a return spring, a limiting ring, and a fixing pin. The fixing pin is slidably connected to the middle of the sleeve. A limiting block is provided at the end of the fixing pin away from the protective sleeve. A limiting ring is provided at the end of the fixing pin close to the protective sleeve. A return spring is nested on the surface of the fixing pin between the limiting ring and the inner wall of the sleeve. A limiting mechanism is provided on the outer side of the sleeve.
[0008] Preferably, the sleeve and the protective sleeve are connected by a threaded engagement, and the fixing pin is always inserted into the pin hole under the elastic force of the return spring.
[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a locking block, a limiting rod, a first limiting groove, and a second limiting groove. The locking block is connected to the side of the limiting rod, the first limiting groove is provided on one end of the sleeve surface near the limiting block, and the second limiting groove is provided on the other end of the sleeve surface.
[0010] Preferably, the protective sleeve has storage slots on both sides, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the middle shaft pin of the storage slot.
[0011] Preferably, damping rubber pads are provided on both sides of the rotating rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model is equipped with a fixing component. Pulling the limiting block causes the fixing pin to retract into the sleeve, the return spring is compressed, and the protective sleeve is placed on the surface of the valve stem body. When the limiting block is released, the fixing pin moves back under the elastic force of the return spring and inserts into the pin hole, so that the protective sleeve is quickly fixed. The locking block is locked into the second limiting groove, and the limiting rod abuts against the side of the limiting block, so that the limiting block cannot move, ensuring that the fixing pin will not come out of the pin hole and ensuring that the protective sleeve is securely fixed.
[0014] 2. This utility model is equipped with a rotating rod. The rotating rod is opened by rotating it from the storage slot, so that the rotating rod rotates 90 degrees. By holding the rotating rod and rotating it, the rotating rod drives the protective sleeve to rotate, which in turn makes the valve stem body rotate. The valve stem body can be rotated without a wrench, making adjustment and use convenient. Attached Figure Description

The valve stem body 6 can be rotated without a wrench, making adjustment and use convenient.
[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this utility model, pull the limiting block 43 to retract the fixing pin 46 into the sleeve 42, compress the return spring 44, and put the protective sleeve 3 on the surface of the valve stem body 6. Release the limiting block 43, and the fixing pin 46 moves back under the elastic force of the return spring 44. The fixing pin 46 is inserted into the pin hole 5, so that the protective sleeve 3 is quickly fixed. The locking block 411 is locked into the limiting groove 414, and the limiting rod 412 abuts against the side of the limiting block 43, so that the limiting block 43 cannot move, ensuring that the fixing pin 46 will not come out of the pin hole 5, and ensuring that the protective sleeve 3 is firmly fixed. The protective sleeve 3 improves the protection of the valve stem and facilitates long-term use. Rotate the rotating rod 8 from the storage groove 9 to open it, so that the rotating rod 8 rotates 90 degrees. By holding the rotating rod 8, the rotating rod 8 drives the protective sleeve 3 to rotate, which in turn makes the valve stem body 6 rotate. The valve stem body 6 can be rotated without a wrench, making adjustment and use convenient.
