Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the ship pipeline system, the gate valve is as the key component of controlling the flow of large flow fluid medium, and its basic composition contains the valve body, the gate and the valve rod, and the basic principle is to use the valve rod to drive the gate to move to control the opening and closing of the gate valve. With the wide application of large diameter gate valves on ships, the torque required for the opening and closing of the gate valve is getting larger and larger, and the working reliability and the requirement for the drive mechanism are improved. At the same time, the space in the cabin is limited, and the miniaturization requirement of the gate valve drive mechanism is also continuously improved.

[0027] The present embodiment provides a marine gate valve hydraulic drive mechanism, which drives the valve rod 22 by using the driving motor 21, and the gate plate 23 is threadedly connected with the valve rod 22, so as to convert the rotary motion of the driving motor 21 into the linear motion of the gate plate 23. Compared with the traditional hydraulic cylinder flat-pushing type drive mechanism, the structure is more compact, meets the requirement of the space limitation of the ship, and effectively reduces the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost of the mechanism.

[0028] Combination Figures 1 to 4As shown, the hydraulic drive mechanism of the ship gate valve of the embodiment comprises a bracket 10, a drive part 20 and a feedback part 30. The drive part 20 comprises a drive motor 21, a valve rod 22 and a gate plate 23. The drive motor 21 is installed on the bracket 10. The valve rod 22 is located at the driving end of the drive motor 21 and is driven by the drive motor 21. The gate plate 23 is threadedly connected with the valve rod 22. When the valve rod 22 rotates, the gate plate 23 moves along the length direction of the valve rod 22. The drive motor 21 of the embodiment is a hydraulic motor. There are two oil inlets A and B. When the A oil inlet enters high-pressure oil, the output shaft of the drive motor 21 rotates in the clockwise direction. The drive motor 21 transmits power to the valve rod 22. The gate plate 23 is provided with trapezoidal internal thread and is connected with the trapezoidal external thread of the valve rod 22. The trapezoidal thread pair realizes the conversion of rotary motion and linear motion, drives the gate plate 23 to linearly translate, and completes the closing action of the gate valve. When the B oil inlet enters high-pressure oil, the output shaft of the drive motor 21 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. The drive motor 21 transmits power to the valve rod 22. The gate plate 23 is provided with trapezoidal internal thread and is connected with the trapezoidal external thread of the valve rod 22. The trapezoidal thread pair realizes the conversion of rotary motion and linear motion, drives the gate plate 23 to linearly translate, and completes the opening action of the gate valve.

[0029] In the embodiment, the valve rod 22 is connected with the drive motor 21 through a coupling 50. The coupling 50 is an elastic coupling 50 which is used to connect the drive motor 21 and the valve rod 22, compensate the shaft alignment error, reduce vibration and ensure the stability of power transmission.

[0030] In combination Figure 1 With Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 10 of the embodiment comprises a first seat plate 11, a second seat plate 12 and a plurality of stud bolts 13. The first seat plate 11 and the second seat plate 12 are arranged in parallel. The stud bolts 13 are used to connect the first seat plate 11 and the second seat plate 12. The bracket 10 of the embodiment is installed by the first seat plate 11, the second seat plate 12 and the stud bolts 13, constitutes the support main structure of the drive mechanism, and is used to support and fix each component.

[0031] In the embodiment, the drive motor 21 is installed on the first seat plate 11. The valve rod 22 penetrates through the second seat plate 12. The first seat plate 11, the second seat plate 12 and the stud bolts 13 cooperatively stably install the drive motor 21 and the valve rod 22.

[0032] In combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 And Figure 4As shown, the feedback part 30 of the embodiment comprises a feedback nut 31, a feedback baffle 32 and a limit switch 33. The feedback nut 31 is installed on the valve stem 22 and moves along the length direction of the valve stem 22. The feedback baffle 32 is connected with the feedback nut 31 through the guide plate 40. The limit switch 33 cooperates with the feedback baffle 32 to determine the height position of the gate plate 23. The feedback nut 31, as the feedback part of the stroke control of the gate plate 23, cooperates with the thread on the valve stem 22. When the valve stem 22 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the feedback nut 31 moves linearly, driving the feedback baffle 32 to move. The feedback baffle 32 can sense the distance between the limit switch 33 and the object, thereby determining the stroke of the gate plate 23.

[0033] In the embodiment, one end of the guide plate 40 is fixedly connected with the feedback nut 31, and the other end cooperates with a stud 13. The guide plate 40 moves along the length direction of the stud 13. The guide plate 40 of the embodiment is provided with a matching arc surface which matches the surface of the stud 13, so that the guide plate 40 can stably move along the length direction of the stud 13, thereby guiding the movement of the feedback nut 31 and improving the movement accuracy of the feedback nut 31.

[0034] Further, the support 10 of the embodiment is provided with a side mounting plate 60. The limit switch 33 is located on the side mounting plate 60. The number of the limit switch 33 is two. The feedback baffle 32 moves between the two limit switches 33. The feedback nut 31 drives the feedback baffle 32 to move between the two limit switches 33. The two limit switches 33 can limit the stroke of the feedback baffle 32 and effectively feedback the stroke of the gate plate 23.

[0035] In actual use, the marine gate valve hydraulic drive mechanism of the embodiment drives the valve stem 22 by using the drive motor 21. The gate plate 23 is threadedly connected with the valve stem 22, converting the rotary motion of the drive motor 21 into the linear motion of the gate plate 23. Compared with the traditional hydraulic cylinder push type drive mechanism, the structure is more compact, meeting the requirements of the space limitation of the ship, effectively reducing the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost of the mechanism, and increasing the feedback part 30 to realize the accurate control of the opening and closing of the gate valve, effectively determining the position of the gate plate 23. The drive mechanism of the embodiment has a simple structure and compact design, is convenient for vertical or horizontal installation of the equipment, and is more convenient to install.
