[0002] Butterfly valves, as an important fluid control device, are widely used in pipeline systems to cut off, regulate, and change the flow direction of fluids. However, for large-diameter, low-pressure applications, such as ventilation ducts and air flow control in the metallurgical industry, existing butterfly valves typically use built-in bearings or seals, which makes maintenance and disassembly difficult and inconvenient in the field when a fault occurs. Therefore, we propose a large-diameter, low-pressure, fully welded flange butterfly valve. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: a large-diameter, low-pressure, fully welded flange butterfly valve, including a connecting pipe 1, with flanges 2 fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting pipe 1 for connection to pipelines. A welded raft plate 3 is provided in the middle of the connecting pipe 1, serving to regulate and control the fluid. The welded raft plate 3 adopts a centerline butterfly valve type, which can make the stress generated by welding more uniform, and the force on the valve disc 32 and valve shaft 31 can be evenly transmitted to the sealing surface of the valve seat 11, making the shaft less prone to deflection or jamming. Simultaneously, the valve body adopts a completely symmetrical design, ensuring good sealing performance between the valve plate and valve seat. The butterfly valve has excellent regulating performance and is easy to position during processing. No strict directional requirements are needed during assembly. The inner wall of the connecting pipe 1 is fixed... A valve seat 11 is fixedly connected to the valve disc 32. When the valve disc 32 is closed, the valve seat 11 fits against it to improve the sealing effect. Sealing elements 4 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 1 on both sides of the welded raft plate 3. A filling groove 41 is opened on the inner side of the sealing element 4, and packing 42 is filled inside the filling groove 41. The packing 42 can enhance the sealing performance. A packing gland 43 is slidably connected to the outer side of the filling groove 41. The packing gland 43 can adjust the tightness of the seal to prevent leakage. A bolt 44 is fixedly connected to the sealing element 4 near the packing gland 43. The packing gland 43 passes through the bolt 44. A nut 45 is provided on the outer side of the bolt 44. These are located on the outer walls of the connecting pipes on both sides of the welded raft plate 3 to prevent fluid leakage. The inner wall of the connecting pipe 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe on both sides of the welded raft plate 3. A thrust ring 5 is fixedly connected to prevent axial movement of the main shaft 7 and the auxiliary shaft 8. A fixing sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the seals 4 on both sides of the connecting pipe 1 to further fix the main shaft 7 and the auxiliary shaft 8. The main shaft 7 passes through one side of the connecting pipe 1, and the auxiliary shaft 8 passes through the other side. The main shaft 7 and the auxiliary shaft 8 pass through the fixing sleeves 6, seals 4, and thrust ring 5 on both sides of the connecting pipe 1 and are inserted into both sides of the welded raft plate 3. The welded raft plate 3 includes a valve shaft 31, with valve discs 32 integrally welded to both sides of the valve shaft 31. Slots 33 are opened at both ends of the valve shaft 31. Limiting holes 71 are opened at the heads of the main shaft 7 and the auxiliary shaft 8. A pin hole 34 is opened in the slot 33 near the middle of the valve shaft 31. The pin hole 34 and the limiting hole... A cylindrical pin 35 is inserted inside the valve body 71, allowing the main shaft 7 and the auxiliary shaft 8 to be connected to the welded raft plate 3 via an external insertion method. The main shaft 7 is used to drive the welded valve plate 3 to rotate to achieve the adjustment function, while the auxiliary shaft 8 provides partial rotational support for the welded raft plate 3. The structure of installing bearings on the outside of the valve body greatly reduces the valve's opening and closing torque and the probability of the butterfly valve's shaft seizing during operation. The external bearing structure also eliminates the need to disassemble the valve body assembly, facilitating on-site maintenance. At the same time, it reduces wear and extends service life, giving the butterfly valve the advantages of low torque and long service life, making it especially suitable for high-temperature applications. The welded butterfly valve body and valve plate are all welded from steel plates, offering advantages such as low cost, short production cycle, and rapid delivery.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Please see Figure 7In this second embodiment, the other structures remain unchanged. The difference from the first embodiment is that both the left and right sides of the figure are welded raft plates 3. The welded raft plate 3 on the right side has a DN≤400 structure, and the welded raft plate 3 on the left side has a DN>400 structure. Compared with the welded raft plate 3 on the right side, the welded raft plate 3 on the left side has reinforcing ribs 36 welded integrally on both sides. By welding the reinforcing ribs 36, the force on the welded raft plate 3 can be more evenly transmitted to the sealing surface with the valve seat 11 when the diameter increases, thereby improving the stress resistance and sealing effect of the welded valve 3 under large diameter.
