[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] An outdoor electrically operated gate valve protection device, as shown in Figures 1 to 5 It includes base 1, protective cover 2 and locking member 3.

[0044] The base 1 comprises a base body 11 and two parallel sliding grooves 12 arranged on the base body 11, and the electric gate valve 4 is fixedly installed on the base body 11 and located between the two sliding grooves 12. The electric gate valve 4 comprises a gate screw 42 and an electric actuator 41, which can be specifically referred to the prior art, and the present application does not make specific limitations. The protective cover 2 comprises a cover body 21 covering the outer side of the electric gate valve 4 and two sliding blocks 22 arranged at the bottom of the cover body 21, and the two sliding blocks 22 are adapted to the two sliding grooves 12 and are slidably arranged in the corresponding sliding grooves 12. The locking member 3 is detachably arranged on the sliding groove 12, and two locking members 3 are arranged on each sliding groove 12, which are located at both ends of the sliding groove 12 and are used to limit the sliding of the sliding block 22 thereon. By arranging the protective device outside the electric gate valve 4, the failure caused by insufficient protection of the electric gate valve 4 is avoided, and the service life of the outdoor electric gate valve 4 is effectively prolonged. By slidingly connecting the cover body 21 and the base 1, complex screws, nuts or other fasteners are not needed, which greatly simplifies the assembly process and enables quick installation. When the electric gate valve 4 needs to be repaired or replaced, the slidingly connected cover body 21 can be easily slid out of the base 1, which is convenient for users to maintain. The cover body 21 is firmly fixed at a specific position by the locking member 3, which can prevent accidental sliding due to external force during work, thereby improving the stability and safety of the equipment. As a preferred embodiment, the locking member 3 is a bolt, which only needs to be screwed into or out of the sliding groove 12 at the corresponding position during installation or disassembly, which is convenient and fast.

[0045] The base 1 further comprises two mounting portions 121 mounted on the base body 11 by fixing bolts 125, and a first stop portion 122 corresponding to each mounting portion 121 and connected to the mounting portion 121 and extending upward in the vertical direction, a second stop portion 123 connected to the upper end of the first stop portion 122 and extending inward in the horizontal direction, and a third stop portion 124 connected to the inner end of the second stop portion 123 and extending downward in the vertical direction. Each mounting portion 121 has two sets of symmetrically arranged first stop portions 122, second stop portions 123 and third stop portions 124, and the two sets of first stop portions 122, second stop portions 123 and third stop portions 124 form a V-shaped or U-shaped sliding groove 12 between the mounting seat for the sliding block 22, and the first stop portion 122, the second stop portion 123 and the third stop portion 124 are integrally formed with the mounting portion 121 and extend in the same direction. The sliding block 22 is adapted to the sliding groove 12, that is, the sliding block 22 is also V-shaped or U-shaped, which has a larger contact area than the T-shaped and better connection stability. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 121, the first stop portion 122, the second stop portion 123, the third stop portion 124, the fixing bolt 125 and the base body 11 are made of 316L stainless steel which has better corrosion resistance.

[0046] Further, the sliding block 22 comprises a sliding block body and an elastic layer formed on the outer surface of the sliding block body, and the elastic layer can be formed by a rubber dip coating process. The elastic layer makes the connection between the sliding block 22 and the sliding groove 12 more compact, reduces looseness and shaking caused by gaps, and plays a buffering role when the device is subjected to vibration or impact. At the same time, the elastic layer made of rubber has a high friction coefficient, which can increase the connection stability of the cover body 21 and the base 1, and avoid the situation that the protective device is blown away by strong winds in typhoon weather.

[0047] The cover body 21 has an access opening, and a closable or openable access door 23 is installed on the access opening. One side of the access door 23 is hinged to the access opening through a hinge 27, and the other side is locked with the access opening through an electric locking device 24. The hinge 27 is preferably a 304 stainless steel hinge with a self-return function. The electric locking device 24 is preferably an electromagnetic induction electric locking device with IC card recognition technology, which has offline authorization and offline identification functions, and can download locking device opening and closing data through networking for the analysis of electric gate valve 4 maintenance data. The electric locking device 24 is designed to have a protection level of IP67, which meets the outdoor use environment. For details, please refer to the prior art.

[0048] A ventilation opening is formed in the lower half of the cover body 21, and a mosquito net 26 and a plurality of gratings arranged in the vertical direction are installed on the ventilation opening. The mosquito net 26 is located inside the grating, which is a stainless steel mesh, and the mesh number of the mosquito net 26 is 24. The gratings are inclined outward to ventilate and dissipate heat while preventing rainwater and flying insects from entering. The gratings are made of 304 stainless steel.

[0049] The side surface and the top surface of the cover body 21 are also selectively provided with transparent observation windows 25, which provide convenience for production operators to check the running state of the electric gate valve 4 and for production maintenance personnel to observe the lubricating oil state of the lead screw. The material of the observation window 25 is tempered glass, and a rubber sealing gasket is provided between the observation window 25 and the cover body 21 to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the protective device.

[0050] The cover body 21 is a square tubular structure with a closed top end and an open bottom end, and the sliding blocks 22 are located on opposite sides of the bottom surface thereof. The material of the cover body 21 is 304 stainless steel with a thickness of 1.5 mm. In this embodiment, the cover body 21 is composed of a framework and wall plates, the framework is composed of a stainless steel square tube with a wall thickness of 2 mm and a width of 3 cm, and the wall plates have a wall thickness of 1 mm. The color of the outer surface of the cover body 21 is a matte brushed color, which can avoid unnecessary light pollution and effectively remind production operators during night patrol to prevent tripping over the electric gate valve 4 when the vision is poor at night.

[0051] The above examples are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and to implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
