Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gate valve technology, specifically a manual thin gate valve. Background Technology

[0002] Gate valves, as core control components of industrial pipeline systems, achieve precise shut-off or complete flow control of fluids within the pipeline through their internally adjustable opening and closing mechanisms. They are widely used in high-pressure, large-diameter pipeline systems in petrochemical, power, and water supply and drainage industries, serving as crucial shut-off devices for controlling the flow of media.

[0003] In the existing technology, thin gate valves mostly use a single opening and closing element to control the pipeline opening and closing. A single opening and closing element is prone to deformation and wear, which leads to a decrease in the sealing reliability of the gate valve.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a manual, thin-film gate valve to improve sealing reliability. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4The present invention provides a technical solution: a manual thin gate valve, including a valve body 1 and a valve stem 5. The valve body 1 has a valve cavity inside. A base 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the valve body 1. A groove is opened at the upper end of the base 9. Lower housings 10 are fixedly installed on both sides above the base 9. A lifting block 12 is provided on the side of the two lower housings 10 that are close to each other. The lifting block 12 is fixedly installed in the groove of the base 9. A fixing groove is opened at the upper end of the lower housings 10.

[0021] The upper end of the valve stem 5 is connected to a handwheel 3 via a thread. The lower end of the valve stem 5 is fixedly installed with an upper housing 11. The upper housing 11 is placed inside the valve cavity of the valve body 1. The two sides of the upper housing 11 are in contact with the surface of the valve cavity. The lower end of the upper housing 11 has two parallel mounting grooves. A sealing plate 14 is fixedly installed in each mounting groove. A spring 18 is provided on the side of the two sealing plates 14 that are close to each other. The upper end of the spring 18 is fixedly installed with the lower end face of the upper housing 11. The lower end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to a support block 13.

[0022] Both sides of the valve cavity are provided with through holes 19, and valve body flow channels 16 are fixedly installed in the through holes 19. The end of the valve body flow channel 16 away from the valve cavity is fixedly installed with a mounting plate 4, and the end of the valve body flow channel 16 close to the valve cavity is fixedly installed with a sealing ring 15.

[0023] A lower valve cover 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the valve body 1. Several valve brackets 2 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the lower valve cover 7. An upper valve cover 6 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the valve brackets 2. A bearing seat 8 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the upper valve cover 6. The bearing seat 8 has a stepped groove. A bearing 17 is fixedly installed in the stepped groove. The bearing 17 is sleeved on the shaft of the valve stem 5.

[0024] Working principle:

[0025] When the gate valve needs to be closed, turn the handwheel 3. The handwheel 3 drives the valve stem 5 downward through the threaded transmission. The valve stem 5 drives the upper housing 11 to move downward. The upper housing 11 drives the sealing plate 14 to move downward. The upper housing 11 drives the spring 18 to move downward. The spring 18 drives the support block 13 to move downward. During the downward movement, the lower end face of the support block 13 contacts the upper end face of the lifting block 12. Continue to turn the handwheel 3. The upper housing 11 continues to drive the support block 13 to move downward. The lifting block 12 presses against the support block 13, preventing the support block 13 from moving downward. The lifting block 12 exerts its force on the support block. The upward reaction force of 13 compresses the spring 18, causing the spring 18 to move upward relative to the sealing plate 14. When the lower end of the sealing plate 14 engages with the fixing groove of the lower housing 10, the handwheel 3 cannot be rotated. The two wedge surfaces of the support block 13 are in contact with the side of the two sealing plates 14 that are close to each other. The upward reaction force generates a horizontal component force on the two wedge surfaces of the support block 13. The horizontal component force pushes the sealing block 14 to press the sealing ring 15, thereby closing the gate valve. The two independent sealing plates improve the sealing reliability of the gate valve.

[0026] Rotating the handwheel 3 in the opposite direction causes the valve stem 5 to rise via a threaded drive. The valve stem 5 then moves the upper housing 11 upward, which in turn moves the sealing plate 14 upward. The upper housing 11 then moves the spring 18 upward, which in turn moves the support block 13 upward. As the support block 13 moves upward, the reaction force generated by the lifting block 12 gradually decreases, and the spring 18 gradually releases its accumulated elastic potential energy. This elastic potential energy causes the support block 13 to reset, and the sealing plate 14 separates from the sealing ring 15. When the upper end face of the upper housing 11 contacts the lower end face of the lower valve cover 7, the handwheel 3 cannot rotate. At this time, the valve cavity is connected to the valve body flow channels 16 on both sides of the valve body 1, thus opening the gate valve.
