[0030] The utility model will be introduced below by the drawings.

[0031] It should be noted that the directional phrases or limiting words "up", "down", "left", "right" and the like used in this application are all relative to the Figure 1 direction of the drawings. They are not used to limit the absolute position of the involved parts, but can be changed according to the specific situation.

[0032] Figure 1 The structure of the flat plate valve 100 according to the utility model is shown. As Figure 1 shown, the flat plate valve 100 mainly includes a valve body 10, a valve cover 5, a valve seat 8, a valve plate 11 and a power mechanism 30.

[0033] In this embodiment, a valve hole 101 and a working cavity 102 are provided through the valve body 10, and the working cavity 102 intersects with the valve hole 101. As Figure 1 shown, the valve hole 101 is provided through the valve body 10 along the left-right direction, and the working cavity 102 is provided through the valve body 10 along the up-down direction, and the valve hole 101 and the working cavity 102 intersect at the middle part of the valve body 10.

[0034] Two valve covers 5 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the valve body 10, and a sealing gasket ring 6 is arranged between the valve cover 5 and the valve body 10 to seal the gap between the valve cover 5 and the valve body 10.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, an edge sealing gasket ring is further arranged at the edge between the bonnet 5 and the valve body 10, and both the sealing gasket ring 6 and the edge sealing gasket ring are self-energizing gasket rings. The contact between the sealing gasket ring 6 and the gasket groove is initially outside the gasket groove and has the effect of internal pressure assisted sealing. The self-energizing gasket ring design not only meets the 175MPa pressure sealing requirement, but also effectively prevents sealing failure caused by well pressure changes and pressure vibration during pressure testing. The self-energizing sealing gasket ring is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described here.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the bonnet 5 and the valve body 10 are connected by bolts 13. In this embodiment, the bolts 13 are configured as fillet threads. Fillet threads are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described here. Through this connection mode, not only can the volume and weight of the flat plate valve 100 be greatly reduced to facilitate on-site use, but also the emergence of the flat plate valve 100 flange hub on both sides is avoided, greatly improving the strength of the flat plate valve 100.

[0037] The valve seat 8 is sealingly arranged at the intersection of the valve hole 101 and the working chamber 102, and a communication hole 81 communicating the valve hole 101 is arranged in the valve seat 8. Specifically, the center axis of the communication hole 81 coincides with the center axis of the valve hole 101. A valve seat sealing ring 9 is arranged between the left and right end portions of the valve seat 8 and the valve body 10.

[0038] The valve plate 11 is movably sealingly arranged on the valve seat 8, and the valve plate 11 is configured to open and close the communication hole 81. In this embodiment, the valve plate 11 is movably sealingly arranged in the valve seat 8 in the up-down direction, and the valve plate 11 can block the communication hole 81 of the valve seat 8, at which time the flat plate valve 100 is in a closed state. A connecting hole 111 is arranged through the valve plate 11, and the center axis of the connecting hole 111 is parallel to the center axis of the communication hole 81. When the valve plate 11 moves relative to the valve seat 8 to make the connecting hole 111 coincide with the communication hole 81, the flat plate valve 100 is in an open state.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the contact sealing surface of the valve seat 8 and the valve plate 11 is treated by a supersonic spraying tungsten carbide process to improve the surface hardness and corrosion resistance of the contact sealing surface of the valve plate 11 and the valve seat 8, thereby improving the sealing performance. The supersonic spraying tungsten carbide process is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described here.

[0040] The power mechanism 30 is arranged on the upper part of the upper bonnet 5, and the power mechanism 30 is connected to the valve plate 11 and is configured to move the valve plate 11 relative to the valve seat 8, thereby opening and closing the communication hole 81.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the power mechanism 30 includes a housing 21, a rotating shaft 19, and a lead screw 20.

[0042] The shell 21 is configured as a cylinder, fixedly arranged at the upper portion of the valve cover 5, and the central axis of the shell 21 coincides with the central axis of the working cavity 102. The rotating shaft 19 is configured as a cylindrical shape, coaxially arranged in the shell 21. The lead screw 20 is coaxially arranged in the interior of the rotating shaft 19, and a thread for connecting with the lead screw 20 is arranged on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 19, and the rotating shaft 19 is coaxially connected with the lead screw 20 through the thread. The valve rod 12 is fixedly arranged at both upper and lower ends of the valve plate 11. The valve rod 12 located above the valve plate 11 is movably sealed through the valve cover 5, and is coaxially fixedly connected with the lead screw 20.

[0043] In this arrangement, when the rotating shaft 19 rotates relative to the shell 21 and the lead screw 20, the thread between the rotating shaft 19 and the lead screw 20 causes the lead screw 20 to move coaxially up and down relative to the rotating shaft 19, thereby driving the valve plate 11 to move relative to the valve seat 8 through the valve rod 12.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the lead screw 20 is a ball screw, and the lead screw 20 is connected with the rotating shaft 19 through balls.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the valve rod 12 and the valve plate 11 are connected with each other through a T-shaped slot connection. This connection not only improves the connection reliability of the connection position of the valve rod 12 and the valve plate 11, but also improves the stability of the valve rod 12 during lifting of the valve plate 11.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the lead screw 20 and the valve rod 12 are fixedly connected through a fixed pin 24.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, a guide plate 7 for guiding the valve plate 11 is arranged on the valve seat 8. Not only can the valve plate 11 be provided with a certain guiding effect to increase the stability of the opening and closing movement of the valve plate 11, but also has a certain sand prevention function to prevent a large amount of sand-containing liquid from entering the valve body during the opening and closing process.

[0048] In the embodiment, bearings are arranged between the rotating shaft 19 and the housing 21. Specifically, the housing 21 comprises a housing 211 and a bearing seat 16 arranged coaxially. The lower end of the bearing seat 16 is fixedly connected with the valve cover 5, and the housing 211 is located above the bearing seat 16, and the housing 211 and the bearing seat 16 are fixedly connected by bolts. A thrust bearing 17 is arranged in the cavity formed between the bearing seat 16, the valve cover 5 and the rotating shaft 19. A radial bearing 18 is arranged in the cavity formed between the housing 211, the bearing seat 16 and the rotating shaft 19. By arranging the thrust bearing 17 and the radial bearing 18, the rotating shaft 19 can rotate relative to the housing 21 and the lead screw 20. The thrust bearing 17 is selected as a main bearing, and a planar thrust roller bearing is selected, and a high-precision cylindrical roller increases the contact length, so that the bearing can obtain high load capacity and high stiffness in a small space, and the cylindrical surface of the cylindrical roller adopted by the planar cylindrical roller bearing is a modified surface, which can reduce edge stress and improve service life. The radial bearing 18 is selected as an auxiliary bearing, and a deep groove ball bearing is selected. The bearing can right the rotating shaft 19, avoid radial interference between the rotating shaft 19 and other parts under high torque and low speed, and make the rotating shaft 19 more smooth in the opening and closing process.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating wheel 22 is arranged at the end of the housing 21 away from the valve plate 11, and the rotating wheel 22 is connected with the rotating shaft 19 through a reduction box. Artificially rotating the rotating wheel 22 can transmit torque to the rotating shaft 19 through the reduction box, which can save labor. Further, a conversion joint 23 is arranged coaxially in the housing 21, the upper end of the conversion joint 23 is connected with the output end of the reduction box, and the lower end of the conversion joint 23 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 19 coaxially.

A valve rod packing gland 15 for fixing the sealing packing 4 is arranged coaxially on the valve rod 12, and the valve rod packing gland 15 is fixedly connected with the valve cover 5 in a threaded connection manner. In this arrangement, the two axial ends of the sealing packing 4 abut against the valve rod packing gland 15 and the valve cover 5 respectively, and by tightening the valve rod packing gland 15, the valve rod packing gland 15 axially extrudes the sealing packing 4, so that the sealing packing 4 radially expands to strengthen the sealing of the sealing packing 4 between the valve rod 14 and the valve cover 5.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, a tail rod 3 for limiting is arranged coaxially at the lower end of the valve rod 12 below the valve plate 11. The radial dimension of the tail rod 3 is greater than the radial dimension of the valve rod packing gland 15, and when the valve plate 11 moves upward relative to the valve seat 8, the tail rod 3 abuts against the valve rod packing gland 15 axially, which can limit the movement range of the valve plate 11.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, a tail cover 1 is fixedly arranged below the bonnet 5 below the valve body 10, and a tail rod packing gland 2 is coaxially arranged at the lower end of the tail rod 3, and the tail rod packing gland 2 is located inside the tail cover 1.
