Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pneumatic sealing butterfly valve technology, specifically relating to a pneumatic double eccentric hard seal butterfly valve. Background Technology
[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve, is a relatively simple regulating valve. It opens and closes by rotating around a valve shaft and is typically used for on / off control of low-pressure pipeline media. The double eccentric butterfly valve is a further improvement on the single eccentric butterfly valve. Its valve stem centerline is offset from both the center of the butterfly plate and the center of the valve body, effectively solving the problem of high friction and wear in traditional butterfly valves during opening and closing. Double eccentric butterfly valves are widely used in industries such as petrochemicals, power generation, water treatment, and metallurgy.
[0003] Patent application number "202322960463.X" describes a hard-seal butterfly valve, including a valve body and a butterfly plate disposed inside the valve body. The butterfly plate is connected to a valve stem, and the end of the valve stem away from the butterfly plate extends out of the valve body and connects to an actuator. The valve body has a valve seat that seals with the butterfly plate. Its triple-eccentric structure allows the butterfly plate to disengage from the valve seat instantly upon opening, achieving frictionless operation between the butterfly plate and the valve seat, reducing wear on both and maintaining good valve sealing. Patent application number "201822034820.9" describes a quadruple-eccentric hard-seal butterfly valve, including a valve body. A top cover is installed at the top of the valve body, and a high-lift manifold is installed at the top of the top cover via a middle flange. A transmission box is installed at the top of the high-lift manifold, and a transmission shaft is installed inside the transmission box. Its quadruple-eccentric design makes the sealing cone surface more uniform, homogenizing the sealing surface pressure, resulting in good bidirectional sealing performance and increased sealing reliability. However, most existing double eccentric butterfly valves are hydraulically driven or manually controlled, resulting in high control costs. Furthermore, they often employ soft-seal structures, leading to issues such as inaccurate flow rates due to high sealing elasticity and short lifespan. Therefore, the structure of existing double eccentric butterfly valves needs further improvement. Utility Model Content
