Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of butterfly valve technology, specifically an interlayer butterfly valve. Background Technology

[0002] Interlayer butterfly valves typically consist of a valve body, valve plate, valve stem, and seals. The valve plate rotates within the valve body, and the flow rate of the medium is adjusted by controlling the rotation angle of the valve plate. The seals provide a seal between the valve plate and the valve body, ensuring the valve's sealing performance. Furthermore, for convenient online opening and closing, electrically driven butterfly valves are also available.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with patent authorization announcement number CN215293639U, which discloses a butterfly valve mechanism with a multi-layer inner tube. The mechanism includes a butterfly valve main pipe with a valve orifice for fluid flow. Main flange rings are located at both ends of the main pipe. A clamping pipe is fixed to both ends of the valve orifice, and a secondary flange ring is fixed to one end of each clamping pipe. A butterfly valve assembly is located between the clamping pipes. The butterfly valve assembly includes a sealing ring.

[0004] In the current electric butterfly valve, the drive component at the top is usually installed using a flange and multiple bolts, which is inconvenient not only for installation and fixing, but also for disassembly and maintenance later. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, a spring is provided on the inner side of the guide sleeve. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the guide rod, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the guide sleeve. By providing the spring, the elastic force can be applied to the locking pin through the guide rod and the connecting block.

[0009] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a hollow shell fixedly connected to the valve seat. An inclined block is slidably connected inside the hollow shell. A locking block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inclined block. The locking block penetrates the hollow shell and is slidably connected to it.

Then, an annular support seat is set on the valve seat. The positioning rod at the bottom of the drive component can be inserted into the support seat. Then, by screwing the internal threaded sleeve on the outside of the support seat, the locking pin can be moved laterally and inserted into the positioning rod. This completes the quick installation and fixing of the drive unit, which is simple and convenient. Similarly, by reversing the internal threaded sleeve, the locking pin will be reset by the action of the spring and separate from the positioning rod, so that the drive unit can be disassembled. The operation is also simple.

[0015] 2. This utility model provides a locking mechanism on the valve seat and a ring of grooves arranged in an array on the outer wall of the internal threaded sleeve. The locking block on the locking mechanism will be engaged in the groove under the action of the spring, thus locking the internal threaded sleeve, ensuring the stability of the locking pin, and further ensuring the stability of the drive unit installation.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 A guide sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the support base 7. A guide rod 14 is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide sleeve 13. A connecting block 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide rod 14, and the connecting block 12 is fixedly connected to the locking pin 11. The guide sleeve 13 and the guide rod 14 guide the lateral movement of the locking pin 11. A spring 15 is provided on the inner side of the guide sleeve 13. One end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 14, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the guide sleeve 13. The spring 15 allows the elastic force to be applied to the locking pin 11 through the guide rod 14 and the connecting block 12.

[0025] Please see Figures 2-5A locking mechanism 9 is provided on the valve seat 2. The locking mechanism 9 has the function of preventing the internal threaded sleeve 8 from loosening, thereby ensuring the stability of the locking pin 11 and further ensuring the stability of the drive part 3 installation. The locking mechanism 9 includes a hollow shell 91 fixedly connected to the valve seat 2. An inclined block 92 is slidably connected inside the hollow shell 91. A locking block 93 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inclined block 92. The locking block 93 passes through the hollow shell 91 and is slidably connected to the hollow shell 91. The locking block 93 is engaged with the internal threaded sleeve 8. The outer ring wall of the internal threaded sleeve 8 has multiple slots, and the multiple slots are distributed in a ring array. The locking block 93 is located in the slot. The arrangement of multiple ring-shaped slots facilitates the engagement of the locking block 93 after the internal threaded sleeve 8 rotates. A sliding rod 97 is slidably connected to the top of the hollow shell 91, and the sliding rod 97 extends through the hollow shell 91.

[0026] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, firstly, align the block 5 on the output shaft 4 of the drive unit 3 with the valve stem 6. Then, place the drive unit 3 on the valve seat 2, and make the block 5 engage with the valve stem 6. The positioning rod 10 on the drive unit 3 will be inserted into the support seat 7. Then, push the slide rod 97 by pressing the pressing block 99, so that the ball head 98 at the end of the slide rod 97 applies a squeezing force to the inclined block 92, causing it to move laterally, and driving the locking block 93 to move laterally. At this time, the locking block 93 disengages from the groove on the internal threaded sleeve 8, thereby releasing the internal threaded sleeve. Restricting the internal threaded sleeve 8, the internal threaded sleeve 8 is then rotated. The internal threaded sleeve 8 can move upward through the thread between it and the support seat 7. During its upward movement, a lateral thrust is applied to the locking pin 11, causing the locking pin 11 to be inserted laterally into the positioning rod 10. This completes the installation of the drive unit 3. Finally, the pressing block 99 is released, and the inclined block 92 will be reset under the action of the spring 95, and will also drive the locking block 93 to reset, thereby re-locking and fixing the internal threaded sleeve 8, ensuring the stability of the locking pin 11, and further ensuring the stability of the installation of the drive unit 3.
