[0003] In existing technologies, insulation sleeves are typically wrapped around valves using ropes or other tools. During use, when subjected to external pressure, the insulation sleeve is prone to deformation or damage due to insufficient support structure, reducing its service life and increasing maintenance costs. Furthermore, the insulation sleeve is not easily attached to the connection between the valve cover and valve body because the valve stem's movement is restricted, making insulation structure installation at this location inconvenient and hindering subsequent valve maintenance. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a support rib fixing structure for the insulation valve jacket layer to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a support rib fixing structure for the jacket layer of an insulated valve. Through the design of the guide ribs and the insulation sleeve, the compressive strength of the insulation sleeve is increased.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] This application provides a support rib fixing structure for the jacket layer of an insulated valve, which solves the problem in the prior art where the insulation jacket is usually wrapped around the valve with ropes or other tools. During use, the insulation jacket is prone to deformation or damage when subjected to external pressure due to insufficient support structure, reducing the service life of the insulation jacket and increasing maintenance costs. At the same time, the insulation jacket is not easy to attach to the connection between the valve cover and the valve body because the movement of the valve stem is restricted, making the installation of the insulation structure at this location inconvenient and thus making subsequent valve maintenance inconvenient.

[0031] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] This utility model embodiment discloses a support rib fixing structure for a thermal insulation valve jacket layer, according to the attached... Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes an insulation layer structure 3, a support base 4, a protective structure 5, and an arc-shaped insulation sleeve 6;

[0034] The insulation layer structure 3 is set on the valve body 1 to achieve the function of insulation of the valve body 1.

[0035] Insulation layer structure 3 includes:

[0036] Guide rib 31 is provided on valve body 1;

[0037] Insulation sleeve 32 is installed on guide rib 31;

[0038] The insulation medium 33 is disposed between the insulation sleeve 32 and the valve body 1;

[0039] The guide rib 31 is set on the valve body 1 and serves as the supporting base for the insulation sleeve 32. It plays a role in positioning and initial support, providing accurate guidance for the installation of the insulation sleeve 32 and ensuring the accuracy of the installation position of the insulation sleeve 32.

[0040] The insulation sleeve 32 is set on the guide rib 31 and is the core component of the insulation layer structure 3. Its internal space is used to fill the insulation medium 33, which directly cooperates with the valve body 1 to provide heat insulation for the valve body 1 and prevent the heat of the medium inside the valve body 1 from being lost.

[0041] The insulation medium 33 is placed between the insulation sleeve 32 and the valve body 1. Common insulation media include insulation cotton and foam. Its function is to fill the gap between the insulation sleeve 32 and the valve body 1 and reduce heat transfer.

[0042] The support base 4 is mounted on the valve cover 2, providing a mounting foundation for the protective structure 5 and serving to support and fix the protective structure 5, ensuring its stability. The support base 4 has a locking block 41, which is used to engage with the sleeve 51 on the protective structure 5. Through the cooperation of the locking block 41 and the sleeve 51, the initial connection between the protective structure 5 and the support base 4 is achieved. The locking block 41 has a locking hole 42, which provides a locking position for the locking rod 72 in the locking unit 7, further securing the protective structure 5.

[0043] The protective structure 5 is movably latched onto the support base 4. Its main function is to provide thermal insulation protection at the connection between the valve body 1 and the valve cover 2, preventing heat loss from this connection and ensuring the thermal insulation performance of the entire insulated valve. The protective structure 5 is provided with a sleeve 51, which is latched onto the locking block 41 to connect the protective structure 5 to the support base 4.

[0044] The arc-shaped insulation sleeve 6 is set on the protective structure 5. Its shape is adapted to the shape of the connection between the valve body 1 and the valve cover 2. It can fit tightly at the connection, enhance the insulation effect at the connection, and further reduce heat loss.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] This utility model embodiment discloses a support rib fixing structure for a thermal insulation valve jacket layer, according to the attached... Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes an insulation layer structure 3, a support base 4, a protective structure 5, and an arc-shaped insulation sleeve 6;

[0047] The insulation layer structure 3 is disposed on the valve body 1, and the insulation layer structure 3 includes:

[0048] Guide rib 31 is provided on valve body 1;

[0049] Insulation sleeve 32 is installed on guide rib 31;

[0050] The insulation medium 33 is disposed between the insulation sleeve 32 and the valve body 1;

[0051] Support 4 is mounted on valve cover 2;

[0052] The protective structure 5 is movably attached to the support base 4;

[0053] An arc-shaped heat-insulating sleeve 6 is installed on the protective structure 5 and is used to provide heat insulation and protection at the connection between the valve body 1 and the valve cover 2.

[0054] The support base 4 is provided with a locking block 41, and the protective structure 5 is provided with a sleeve 51, which is engaged with the locking block 41.

[0055] The locking block 41 has a locking hole 42, and the sleeve 51 has a locking unit 7, which is used to limit the locking block 41.

[0056] Locking unit 7 includes:

[0057] Slider 71 is slidably connected inside sleeve 51;

[0058] The locking rod 72 is mounted on the slider 71 and is movably engaged in the lock hole 42.

[0059] A spring 73 is provided between the two sets of sliders 71, and the spring 73 is located inside the sleeve 51. A handle 75 is provided on the slider 71, and a groove 74 corresponding to the position of the handle 75 is provided on the sleeve 51.

[0060] The locking unit 7 is used to limit the position of the locking block 41, ensuring a more secure connection between the protective structure 5 and the support base 4, and preventing the protective structure 5 from loosening or falling off during use.

[0061] When installing the protective structure 5, the operator first presses the two sets of sliders 71 towards the middle with the handle 75 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 73, so that the sliders 71 slide in the sleeve 51, driving the locking rod 72 to retract inward. At this time, the sleeve 51 on the protective structure 5 is aligned with the locking block 41 on the support base 4, so that the sleeve 51 and the locking block 41 are engaged.

[0062] Once the protective structure 5 and the support base 4 are fully engaged, release the handle 75. Under the action of the spring 73, the slider 71 slides outward, causing the locking rod 72 to engage in the locking hole 42 on the block 41, thus completing the locking and fixing of the protective structure 5.

[0063] Therefore, the installation of the protective structure 5 and the arc-shaped insulation sleeve 6 is convenient. Since the protective structure 5 and the arc-shaped insulation sleeve 6 are located at the connection between the valve body 1 and the valve cover 2, the protective structure 5 and the arc-shaped insulation sleeve 6 can be quickly removed when the valve body 1 and the valve cover 2 need to be disassembled and maintained in the future.
