[0028] The butterfly valve body 1 is internally connected to a regulating valve stem 2. The regulating valve stem 2 passes through the rubber sealing gasket 11, threaded column 5, fixed plate 6, mounting column 7 and monitoring chamber 8 and is rotatably connected to them. The regulating valve stem 2 is a through-rod structure. The internal structure has been heat-treated and has good comprehensive mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and scratch resistance. When the valve body is opened and closed, the regulating valve stem 2 only rotates and does not move up and down. The packing of the regulating valve stem 2 is not easily damaged and the seal is reliable. It is fixed to the blocking butterfly plate 3 with a tapered pin. The extended end is designed to prevent ejection to avoid fragments from breaking out when the regulating valve stem 2 breaks accidentally at the connection between the blocking butterfly plate 3.
[0029] A blocking butterfly plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the regulating valve stem 2. The blocking butterfly plate 3 rotates inside the butterfly valve body 1. The blocking butterfly plate 3 adopts a streamlined design to reduce fluid resistance loss. The sealing surface is coated with tungsten carbide using supersonic spraying to improve the hardness of the sealing surface of the blocking butterfly plate 3 and extend the service life of the blocking butterfly plate 3. When the regulating valve stem 2 drives the blocking butterfly plate 3 to rotate inside the butterfly valve body 1, it can regulate the flow rate of the medium in the pipeline and facilitate the control of the speed of the medium transported in the pipeline.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 An actuator 4 is provided above the butterfly valve body 1. The actuator 4 includes a fixed housing 401. An adjusting column 402 is rotatably connected inside the fixed housing 401. The adjusting valve stem 2 passes through the fixed housing 401 and is rotatably connected to the fixed housing 401. The top end of the adjusting valve stem 2 is fixedly connected to the adjusting column 402. The rotation of the adjusting column 402 can drive the adjusting valve stem 2 to rotate inside the butterfly valve body 1. The rotation of the adjusting valve stem 2 can drive the blocking butterfly plate 3 to rotate, thereby facilitating the device to control the flow rate of the medium inside the valve.
[0031] A worm gear 403 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the regulating column 402. A servo motor 404 is fixedly installed inside the fixed housing 401. A worm 405 is provided inside the fixed housing 401. The worm 405 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 404. The worm 405 meshes with the worm gear 403. When the servo motor 404 starts and drives the worm 405 to rotate, the worm 405 can drive the regulating column 402 to rotate through the worm gear 403, thereby driving the regulating valve stem 2 and the blocking butterfly plate 3 to rotate, thus regulating the flow rate inside the valve. The servo motor 404 can control the opening and closing of the valve by forward and reverse rotation, thus completing the automatic control of the valve.
[0032] An integrated control module 406 is fixedly installed inside the fixed housing 401. The integrated control module 406 is electrically connected to other electrical components via wired or wireless technology. The integrated control module 406 integrates existing equipment such as power supply and electrical circuit control system, which can provide power for the operation of each electrical component of the device and control the operation of the electrical components through wired and wireless signals, thus providing energy support for the use of the valve.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The butterfly valve body 1 has an internal threaded connection to a threaded post 5, and a fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected above the threaded post 5. A rubber sealing gasket 11 is movably installed inside the butterfly valve body 1. The rubber sealing gasket 11 has good flexibility and sealing performance, and is used to seal any gaps that may exist between the regulating valve stem 2 and the butterfly valve body 1, preventing the medium from flowing out through the gaps when flowing inside the valve. The rubber sealing gasket 11 will be worn after a long period of use, and the staff needs to replace the rubber sealing gasket 11 regularly to prevent valve leakage. When the rubber sealing gasket 11 needs to be replaced, the staff only needs to rotate the threaded post 5 to disengage the threaded post 5 from the butterfly valve body 1, and then remove the rubber sealing gasket 11 from the butterfly valve body 1 for replacement. After replacement, the threaded post 5 can be reinstalled into the butterfly valve body 1. The threaded post 5 can press against the rubber sealing gasket 11, so that the rubber sealing gasket 11 can achieve a sealing effect.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The top surface of the fixed plate 6 is fixedly mounted with a mounting column 7 by bolts. The monitoring chamber 8 is fixedly connected inside the mounting column 7. A pressure sensor 9 is fixedly mounted outside the monitoring chamber 8. An alarm 10 is fixedly mounted outside the pressure sensor 9. The monitoring chamber 8 is hollow and has good sealing between itself and the regulating valve stem 2. When there is a problem with the airtightness between the butterfly valve body 1 and the regulating valve stem 2, gas leakage will enter the monitoring chamber 8 through the gap, thereby increasing the pressure inside the monitoring chamber 8. The pressure sensor 9 can monitor the pressure inside the monitoring chamber 8 in real time. When the pressure inside the monitoring chamber 8 is detected to be rising, the pressure sensor 9 will send a signal to the integrated control module 406. After receiving the signal, the integrated control module 406 controls the blocking butterfly plate 3 to close. After the staff depressurizes the pipeline, the entire valve is inspected, and the rubber sealing gasket 11 is replaced through the threaded column 5. The alarm 10 is equipped with a buzzer alarm and a flashing light. When there is a problem with the valve, the pressure sensor 9 can control the alarm 10 to start, thereby alerting the staff to the location of the problem.
[0035] Working principle: First, the operator installs the device onto a suitable pipeline location using a flange. Then, the electrical components within the device are activated to monitor the valve's airtightness in real time. When a valve leaks, the flowing medium enters the monitoring chamber 8 through the gap, increasing the internal pressure. When the pressure sensor 9 detects that the internal pressure of the monitoring chamber 8 has risen to a certain level, it transmits an alarm signal to the integrated control module 406 and activates the alarm 10. The alarm 10 emits a buzzer warning sound and flashes a light to attract the operator's attention. When the integrated control module... After receiving the alarm signal, 406 will control the servo motor 404 to start. The servo motor 404 will drive the worm gear 403 to rotate through the worm 405. The rotation of the worm gear 403 will drive the adjusting column 402 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting column 402 will drive the adjusting valve stem 2 to rotate, thereby causing the blocking butterfly plate 3 to rotate inside the butterfly valve body 1, closing the internal passage of the valve. Then, the operator will depressurize the pipeline. After the depressurization is completed, the rubber sealing gasket 11 will be replaced by rotating the threaded column 5. Finally, the threaded column 5 will be reset to complete the replacement of the valve rubber sealing gasket 11.
