[0015] As Figs. 1-3 As shown in a kind of valve sequence interlocking indicating mechanism, including installation fixed in valve hand wheel upper disc body 1, installation fixed in valve stem bottom or valve seat lower disc body 2, the interlocking rod 3 of connection upper disc body 1 and lower disc body 2.Upper disc body 1 is placed on valve hand wheel, interlocking rod 3 passes through hand wheel and plays the effect of linkage when rotating, also can increase positioning block in upper disc body 1, so that positioning block is compatible with the recess of valve hand wheel, interlocking rotation is more stable and reliable.Lower disc body 2 is also composed of inner ring 4 and outer ring 5, the installation hole 6 of fixed assembly is arranged in the center of inner ring 4, outer ring 5 is movably sleeved in inner ring 4, and outer ring 5 rotates coaxially relative to inner ring 4, chamber 7 is arranged in outer ring 5, one side cavity wall of chamber 7 is the outer wall of inner ring 4, outer ring 5 is linked between upper disc body 1 and interlocking rod 3, outer ring 5 and inner ring 4 are provided with direction adjusting ratchet wheel assembly in chamber 7, outer ring 5 is also provided with exposed interlayer 8 and indicating ring 9.Inner ring 4 is relative static reference system, outer ring 5 rotates relative to inner ring 4, and outer ring 5 is also linked between upper disc body 1 and rotates.The relative rotation of outer ring 5 and inner ring 4 can be adjusted by direction adjusting ratchet wheel assembly, realizes unidirectional rotation or locking.Indicating ring 9 is manually adjusted, set valve at this place as normally open or normally closed state, and specifically determined according to actual use needs.
[0016] The direction adjusting ratchet assembly comprises ratchet teeth 10 arranged on the outer wall of the inner ring 4, pawls 11 arranged on the cavity wall of the cavity 7 of the outer ring 5, and a swing knob 12 rotatably arranged on the outer ring 5. The ratchet teeth 10 are uniformly arranged along the circumference. One end of the pawl 11 is hingedly connected, and a spring 13 is arranged between the other end of the pawl 11 and the cavity wall of the cavity 7 of the outer ring 5. The spring 13 has an elastic stretching tendency. The pawl 11 and the swing knob 12 are in abutting linkage. The structure here is similar to that of a two-way switching ratchet wrench. In a conventional ratchet wrench, when the pointer is turned to one side, it can be correspondingly rotated in one direction. In this embodiment, the swing knob 12 is turned to one side to abut and press the pawl 11, so that the pawl 11 is compressed against the elastic force, and the pawl 11 on this side is not in contact with the ratchet teeth 10.
[0017] The pawls 11 are arranged in pairs, and the swing knob 12 is arranged between the pawls 11. The swing knob 12 has a T-shaped structure, and has a left limit state, a double limit state and a right limit state between the swing knob 12 and the pawls 11. The swing knob 12 is switched between the left limit state, the double limit state and the right limit state by being rotated to abut the pawl 11. It should be noted that in the double limit state, the swing knob 12 does not abut and contact any pawl 11, and the pawl 11 is in close contact with the ratchet teeth 10 by the elastic force. At this time, the rotation cannot be operated. Due to the fact that in the industry operation, special valves may be temporarily required to be operated, the above arrangement can avoid misoperation beyond the operation ticket process.
[0018] The outer ring 5 is provided with an opening communicating with the interlayer 8 on the top surface. The indicating ring 9 is provided with a push rod 14 at the opening. The surface of the indicating ring 9 is provided with a color layer and an indicating mark. The color layer can be red and green. The red color is normally closed, and the green color is normally open. Moreover, the indicating mark can be matched with words to prompt the state of the valve. The push rod 14 is convenient for operating the indicating ring 9 to correctly and reliably display.
[0019] The upper disc body 1 is provided with a plurality of uniformly arranged hollow grooves 15. This is one embodiment, which is beneficial to form a shape structure more suitable for the hand wheel. It should be noted that even if there is no hollow groove 15, it can also play a shielding role, which is beneficial to improve the service life of the valve. The mounting hole 6 has a regular hexagonal structure, so that the lower disc body 2 can be fixed with the bottom of the valve stem or the valve seat, but it is by no means limited to this.
[0020] The swing knob 12 is provided with a color marking end 16 at each of the opposite ends. This mainly prompts the current operable state, such as only opening or closing, or prohibiting operation. Since the operating personnel often use tools such as ratchet wrenches, they are familiar with and easy to use such design, which greatly improves the safety and reliability. The above has both double color marking indications and interlocking structures to limit operation, which is a clever and reasonable design and meets the actual use requirements.
[0021] In the description of the utility model, need explain, the term "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and so on indicate the orientation or positional relation based on the orientation or positional relation shown in the drawing, just for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and not indicate or imply that the indicated device or element must have a particular orientation, construct and operate in a particular orientation, therefore can not be understood as the limitation to the utility model, at the same time, the basic principle, main features and the advantages of the utility model are shown and described above, and the technical personnel of the industry should understand.
