Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of butterfly valve equipment technology, and in particular to a flange butterfly valve with a butterfly plate position locking structure. Background Technology

[0002] A butterfly valve, also known as a flap valve, is a simple regulating valve. A flanged butterfly valve is a butterfly valve with an added flange structure. It controls the flow rate of the medium in the pipeline by rotating an internal butterfly plate. It is mainly used in water supply and drainage, metallurgy, energy systems, and light textile industries.

[0003] If a flanged butterfly valve installed horizontally on a pipeline and in normal use encounters a damaged turbine box, the turbine box needs to be replaced on-site. During the replacement process, the position of the butterfly plate may change due to water flow impact, such as changing from the original fully open position to the half-open position, or from the original fully closed position to the open position. This can pose risks to pipeline water supply or process control. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a flanged butterfly valve with a butterfly plate position locking structure, which can effectively lock the position of the butterfly plate, making it convenient to disassemble, maintain and repair the turbine box of the butterfly valve, etc., and is easy to use.

[0005] This application provides a flanged butterfly valve with a butterfly plate position locking structure, including a valve body and a butterfly plate. The valve body has a valve cavity, and the butterfly plate is rotatably disposed in the valve cavity by tail shafts symmetrically distributed on both sides. The tail shafts include a first tail shaft near the turbine housing and a second tail shaft away from the turbine housing. The valve body has a tail cover on the outer side directly opposite the second tail shaft. The tail cover can be relatively close to or away from the valve body. The tail cover has a limiting groove at the central axis, and the second tail shaft has a boss that cooperates with the limiting groove.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the limiting groove is a through hole.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the limiting groove is a cross groove, and the boss is a straight boss.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the tail cap is connected to the valve body by a plurality of fastening screws evenly distributed in the circumferential direction.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the second tail shaft and the butterfly plate are connected by a pin.

[0010] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the flange butterfly valve with butterfly plate position locking structure provided in this application has a tail cover with a limiting groove on the surface of the valve body. At the same time, the second tail shaft has a boss that cooperates with the limiting groove. When the tail cover moves away from the valve body and the boss disengages from the limiting groove, the butterfly plate can rotate arbitrarily under the drive of the actuator. When the tail cover moves close to the valve body and the boss and the limiting groove are combined, the butterfly plate can be firmly locked by the tail cover through the second tail shaft. At this time, the turbine box of the butterfly valve can be disassembled, maintained and repaired, thereby ensuring that the position of the butterfly plate will not change due to water flow impact, etc.

[0011] These and other objects, features and advantages of this utility model will be fully realized through the following detailed description. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0017] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.

[0018] refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a flanged butterfly valve with a butterfly plate position locking structure, including a valve body 10 and a butterfly plate 20. The valve body 10 has a valve cavity 101, and the butterfly plate 20 is rotatably disposed within the valve cavity 101 via tail shafts symmetrically distributed on both sides. The tail shafts include a first tail shaft 31 near the turbine housing and a second tail shaft 32 away from the turbine housing. Furthermore, the valve body 10 has a tail cover 40 on its outer side directly opposite the second tail shaft 32. The tail cover 40 can be relatively close to or away from the valve body 10, and the tail cover 40 has a limiting groove 401 at its central axis. Correspondingly, the second tail shaft 32 is provided with a boss 321 that cooperates with the limiting groove 401. In this way, when the tail cover 32 moves away from the valve body 10 and the boss 321 disengages from the limiting groove 401, the butterfly plate 20 can rotate freely under the drive of the actuator. When the tail cover 32 approaches the valve body 10 and the boss 321 and the limiting groove 401 are combined, the second tail shaft 32 is locked by the tail cover 40. Thus, the butterfly plate 20 can be firmly locked by the tail cover 40 through the second tail shaft 32. At this time, the turbine box of the butterfly valve can be disassembled, maintained and repaired. This ensures that the position of the butterfly plate 20 will not change due to water flow impact or other factors.
