Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, specifically to an improved butterfly valve for preventing mud and sand. Background Technology

[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve, is a simple regulating valve that can be used for on / off control of low-pressure pipeline media. A butterfly valve is a type of valve in which the closing element (valve disc or butterfly plate) is a disc that rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing.

[0003] A search revealed patent application CN201921730744.3, which discloses an electric butterfly valve. One end of the output spindle connected to the coupling is equipped with a spindle rotation limit device. The upper end of the output spindle passes through the housing of the electric actuator and houses a valve body open / close signal feedback device and a valve body open / close indicator device. A top cover is installed on the top of the electric actuator housing to cover the valve body open / close signal feedback device and the valve body open / close indicator device. However, in practical use, the above patent has the following drawbacks: the electric actuator of the electric butterfly valve is directly exposed to the outside environment and is easily damaged by impacts from the external environment. Therefore, we propose an improved butterfly valve that is resistant to mud and sand. Utility Model Content
