DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0037] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment provided by the utility model: a gate valve stem sealing structure, including valve body 1, the valve body 1 inside slidingly connected with valve stem 2, the valve stem 2 top end fixedly connected with hand wheel 3, the valve stem 2 outer wall slidingly connected with gland 4, the gland 4 is disc-shaped, for extruding packing, the valve stem 2 outer wall is provided with sealing assembly, sealing assembly is used to guarantee the overall sealing property of valve;
[0038] The sealing assembly comprises a packing gland 5, which is a cylindrical cavity for providing support for the packing, and is slidingly connected to the outer wall of the valve stem 2. The inner wall of the packing gland 5 is fixedly connected with a spacer ring I 6, which is an annular metal plate for isolating different packings and ensuring the stability between the packings. The bottom of the spacer ring I 6 is provided with a polytetrafluoroethylene braided packing 8, which has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, low friction coefficient and low temperature resistance, and is mainly used to resist the corrosion of strong corrosive media such as acid and alkali. The top of the spacer ring I 6 is provided with a flexible graphite packing 9, which has high temperature resistance, high compression strength and self-lubricating property, and can tightly fill the gap under high temperature, high pressure or strong vibration conditions, form a stable sealing layer, and maintain the uniformity of the contact pressure of the sealing structure. The inner wall of the packing gland 5 is fixedly connected with a spacer ring II 7, the flexible graphite packing 9 is in contact with the bottom of the spacer ring II 7, and the top of the spacer ring II 7 is provided with a fiber braided packing 10, which has high elasticity, wear resistance and good mechanical strength, can compensate for the deformation of the packing caused by pressure fluctuation, vibration or temperature change, maintain the uniformity of the contact pressure of the sealing structure, prolong the service life of the packing, and ensure the reliability and durability of the sealing assembly in long-term use. The bottom of the spacer ring II 7 is provided with a spring I 11, which can provide better stability for the assembly through its elastic deformation. One end of the spring I 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spacer ring II 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top of the spacer ring I 6. The inside of the gland 4 is provided with a plurality of sealing rings 12, which can further ensure the sealing performance of the assembly. The inner wall of the sealing ring 12 is in close contact with the outer wall of the valve stem 2. The inside of the hand wheel 3 is provided with a limiting assembly for mechanically limiting the hand wheel 3.
[0039] Specifically, when the valve needs to operate in a high-pressure, high-temperature, strong corrosive medium environment or under conditions of vibration, frequent opening and closing, and the sealing of the valve stem 2 needs to consider corrosion resistance, high temperature and pressure resistance, wear resistance and dynamic elastic compensation, the packing is first filled into the inside of the packing gland 5, and then the gland 4 is rotated to move downward and apply pressure to extrude the packing, so that the packing is deformed and fills the small gap between the valve stem 2 and the packing. The fiber braided packing 10 has high elasticity, wear resistance and excellent mechanical strength, which can compensate for the deformation of the packing caused by pressure fluctuation, vibration or temperature change. This not only reduces the wear of the valve stem 2 during movement, but also effectively improves the sealing effect. The flexible graphite packing 9 can form a stable sealing layer between the valve stem 2 and the packing, significantly reducing friction, and through its self-lubricating property, further reducing the resistance during movement. The polytetrafluoroethylene braided packing 8 has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, low friction coefficient and low temperature resistance, which can effectively prevent the corrosion of strong corrosive media to the packing, ensure the high efficiency and stability of the sealing structure under various harsh conditions, and prolong the service life of the equipment. As the gland 4 is pressed down, the pressure will further extrude the spring I 11, causing the spring I 11 to elastically deform. This deformation plays a role in load compensation, improving the stability of the assembly, and ensuring the reliability and durability of the sealing assembly in long-term use.
[0040] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the limiting assembly includes a limiting disc 13 and a fixed plate 14, the inner wall of the limiting disc 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve rod 2, and the inner wall of the fixed plate 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hand wheel 3. The role of the limiting disc 13 and the fixed plate 14 in the limiting assembly is to provide stable connection and support for the limiting assembly, to ensure the movement stability of the limiting assembly. The inside of the limiting disc 13 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 15. The role of the limiting holes 15 is to cooperate with other components to achieve quick locking and unlocking of the limiting assembly. The inside of the fixed plate 14 is fixedly connected with a fixed block 16. The inside of the fixed block 16 is provided with left-right symmetrical sliding grooves 25. The role of the sliding grooves 25 is to provide a stable sliding path for other components. The inner wall of the fixed block 16 is fixedly connected with a connecting shaft one 17. The bottom of the connecting shaft one 17 is fixedly connected with a fixed rod 18. The bottom end of the fixed rod 18 is slidingly connected with a connecting shaft two 20. The outer wall of the fixed rod 18 is provided with a spring two 19. The role of the spring two 19 is to provide elastic support for the limiting assembly through its own elastic restoring force, to ensure that the limiting assembly can quickly recover after movement. One end of the spring two 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting shaft one 17, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting shaft two 20. One end of the connecting shaft two 20 is fixedly connected with a clamping column 21. The clamping column 21 is matched with the limiting hole 15. Through the cooperation between the clamping column 21 and the limiting hole 15, the effect of quickly limiting the hand wheel 3 can be achieved, which can prevent the hand wheel 3 from being damaged or deviated due to external force or excessive rotation. The outer wall of the connecting shaft two 20 is fixedly connected with left-right symmetrical transmission rods 22. The role of the transmission rods 22 is to further transmit power to ensure the stable movement of subsequent components. The transmission rods 22 slide in the sliding grooves 25. One end of the transmission rods 22 is fixedly connected with transmission blocks 23. The inside of the transmission blocks 23 is provided with a plurality of anti-skid grooves 24. The role of the anti-skid grooves 24 is to increase the friction force with the hands of the operator to prevent the operator from slipping. The transmission blocks 23 are made of rubber material. The inner wall of the clamping column 21 is slidingly connected with the outer wall of the fixed rod 18.
[0041] Specifically, when the artificial operation valve needs to accurately limit the stroke of the valve stem 2, to avoid overloading of the sealing assembly, impact of the valve disc on the valve seat or wear of the parts due to over-rotation of the hand wheel 3, the driving block 23 is pulled to generate a pulling force, so that the driving rod 22 slides inside the fixed block 16, the sliding of the driving rod 22 further drives the synchronous movement of the connecting shaft two 20, thereby extruding the spring two 19, driving the spring two 19 to elastically deform, at the same time, the movement of the connecting shaft two 20 makes the clamping column 21 disengage from the limiting hole 15, thereby achieving unlocking, allowing the hand wheel 3 to rotate freely, when the device is adjusted to the appropriate working state, the elastic restoring force of the spring two 19 pushes the clamping column 21 to re-enter the limiting hole 15, ensuring the limiting function of the hand wheel 3 during operation, thereby effectively preventing safety hazards caused by human operation errors, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the device operation.
[0042] Working principle: When using the sealing structure, first fill the packing into the packing box 5, then rotate the gland 4, the pressure of the downward movement of the gland 4 extrudes the packing, causing the packing to deform, thereby filling the small gap between the valve stem 2, through the high elasticity, wear resistance and good mechanical strength of the fiber woven packing 10, the deformation of the packing caused by pressure fluctuation, vibration or temperature change is compensated, thereby reducing the wear of the valve stem 2 during movement, the flexible graphite packing 9 can form a stable sealing layer, while reducing the friction between the valve stem 2 and the packing, the chemical corrosion resistance, low friction coefficient and low temperature resistance of the polytetrafluoroethylene woven packing 8 can prevent the corrosion of strong corrosive media, thereby achieving efficient and stable sealing of the sealing structure and prolonging the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the spring one 11 is extruded under the pressure of the gland 4, causing the spring one 11 to elastically deform, providing load compensation for the assembly, further improving the stability of the assembly. When adjusting the device by rotating the hand wheel 3, first pull the driving block 23, which will slide the driving rod 22 inside the fixed block 16 under the action of the pulling force, further driving the synchronous movement of the connecting shaft two 20, thereby extruding the spring two 19, causing the spring two 19 to elastically deform, while the movement of the connecting shaft two 20 causes the clamping column 21 to disengage from the limiting hole 15 to achieve unlocking. After unlocking, the operator can freely rotate the hand wheel 3, after the device is adjusted to the appropriate state, the elastic restoring force of the spring two 19 pushes the clamping column 21 to re-enter the limiting hole 15, which can limit the hand wheel 3, thereby ensuring the accuracy and controllability of the operating position, avoiding safety hazards or affecting the accuracy of the device operation caused by human operation errors.
