[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this application provides a butterfly valve, including a ball valve body 1 and a valve stem 2 and a butterfly handle 3 disposed on the ball valve body 1; and further including;

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, a limiting component 4 is provided between the ball valve body 1 and the butterfly handle 3. The limiting component 4 is used to limit the butterfly handle 3. The limiting component 4 includes a limiting rod 402, which is located on the outside of the ball valve body 1 and inserted into the bottom of the butterfly handle 3. By providing the limiting component 4 between the ball valve body 1 and the butterfly handle 3, and by moving the limiting rod 402 on the limiting component 4 upward so that it is inserted into the butterfly handle 3, the butterfly handle 3 can be limited, thereby improving the stability of the ball valve body 1 and preventing the ball valve body 1 from opening or closing due to accidental contact with the butterfly handle 3.

[0028] A connector 401 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the ball valve body 1. A limiting rod 402 passes through the upper and lower sides of the connector 401. A limiting hole 4021 is opened at the bottom of the butterfly handle 3. The limiting rod 402 is inserted into the limiting hole 4021. A lever 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector 401. By pulling the lever 403, the limiting rod 402 can be moved downward until the top of the limiting rod 402 retracts into the inner wall of the connector 401. Then, the butterfly handle 3 can be rotated to open and close the ball valve body 1.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, a limiting plate 404 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the limiting rod 402. The limiting plate 404 is slidably connected inside the connector 401. A return spring 405 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate 404. The return spring 405 is fixedly installed inside the connector 401. After the lever 403 is released, the limiting rod 402 can be reset upward by the pulling force of the return spring 405. At this time, the limiting rod 402 will be inserted into the limiting hole 4021 on the butterfly handle 3 to limit the butterfly handle 3.

The sealing assembly 5 includes a sealing ring 504, which is located on the top of the ball valve body 1. The sealing ring 504 is sleeved on the outer wall of the valve stem 2, and the butterfly handle 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the valve stem 2. A fixing cap 502 is threadedly connected to the top of the valve stem 2. Flexible pads 505 are fixedly connected to the top of the butterfly handle 3 and the bottom of the fixing cap 502. The two sets of flexible pads 505 abut against each other. By providing the sealing assembly 5 between the valve stem 2 and the butterfly handle 3, the butterfly handle 3 can be removed by rotating the fixing cap 502, and the worn sealing ring 504 can be quickly replaced, which improves the replacement efficiency of the sealing ring 504 and the sealing performance of the ball valve body 1.

[0031] A bushing 503 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve stem 2. The bushing 503 abuts against the inner wall of the sealing ring 504, which further improves the sealing performance of the valve stem 2 and the ball valve body 1.

By fitting the butterfly handle 3 onto the outer wall of the positioning rods 501, the stability of the valve stem 2 and the butterfly handle 3 during assembly is improved.

[0033] Specifically, the solution is as follows: First, by pulling the lever 403, the limiting rod 402 can be moved downward until the top of the limiting rod 402 retracts into the connector 401. At this time, the butterfly handle 3 can be rotated 90 degrees to open and close the ball valve body 1. Then, by releasing the lever 403, the limiting rod 402 can be returned to its original position by the pulling force of the return spring 405. At this time, the limiting rod 402 will be inserted into the limiting hole 4021 on the butterfly handle 3 for limitation.
