Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to a high-sealing butterfly valve. Background Technology
[0002] In fluid control systems, butterfly valves are a common type of valve widely used in various industrial, civil, and commercial fields. Traditional butterfly valves typically consist of a valve body, valve stem, valve disc, and drive mechanism. Rotating the valve stem drives the valve disc to rotate within the valve body, thereby controlling the flow of fluid.
[0003] However, traditional butterfly valves have some shortcomings in practical applications. First, the sealing performance of traditional butterfly valves often fails to meet the requirements of high-precision control applications. Under high pressure or fluctuating pressure environments, leakage is prone to occur at the seal between the valve disc and the valve body, affecting the normal operation of the system. Second, the sealing structure of traditional butterfly valves is usually quite complex, making maintenance and replacement inconvenient. Once the seals age or are damaged, the entire sealing structure needs to be replaced, increasing maintenance costs and time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing butterfly valves, whose sealing performance often fails to meet the demands of high-precision control applications. Under high pressure or fluctuating pressure environments, leakage easily occurs at the seal between the valve disc and the valve body, affecting the normal operation of the system. Furthermore, the sealing structure of traditional butterfly valves is typically complex, making maintenance and replacement inconvenient. Once the seals age or are damaged, the entire sealing structure needs to be replaced, increasing maintenance costs and time. Therefore, this invention proposes a butterfly valve with high sealing performance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A high-sealing butterfly valve includes a valve body, a support frame fixedly connected to the top of the valve body, a valve stem rotatably passing through the top of the valve body, a valve disc fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the valve stem, and the valve disc and the valve stem being fixedly connected by two symmetrically arranged first fixing screws;
[0007] A drive assembly, which is disposed on top of the support frame and is used to drive the valve stem to rotate;
[0008] A sealing assembly is disposed on one side of the valve disc and is used to improve the sealing performance of the device.
[0009] In one possible design, the drive assembly includes a rectangular box fixedly connected to the top of a support frame, an operating lever rotatably extending through one side of the rectangular box, a worm gear fixedly connected to one end of the operating lever, a valve stem extending into the interior of the rectangular box and fixedly fitted with a worm wheel, the worm gear meshing with the worm wheel, and a handwheel fixedly connected to one end of the operating lever.
[0010] In one possible design, the sealing assembly includes a circular groove formed on one side of the valve disc, one side of which is fixedly connected to the same mounting annular block by a plurality of second fixing screws, and a plurality of sealing gaskets are engaged between the mounting annular block and the inner wall of one side of the circular groove, with the plurality of sealing gaskets abutting against each other.
[0011] In one possible design, a sealing ring is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the valve body, and the sealing ring abuts against the valve disc and cooperates with the sealing gasket.
[0012] In one possible design, a sliding circular plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting annular block, and a mounting circular plate is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding circular plate. A groove is formed on one side of the mounting circular plate, and a protruding plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the groove. The protruding plate cooperates with the groove, and two symmetrically arranged springs are fixedly connected between one side of the protruding plate and one side of the inner wall of the groove.
[0013] In one possible design, the inner wall of the circular groove is slidably connected with multiple protrusions, one side of each protrusion is fixedly connected with a push rod, one end of the push rod passes through the valve disc and abuts against the sealing gasket, and the protrusion is used in conjunction with the mounting circular plate.
[0014] In one possible design, flanges are integrally formed at both ends of the valve body.
[0015] In this application, during use, by rotating the handwheel, the handwheel drives the operating lever to rotate, the operating lever drives the worm gear to rotate, the worm gear drives the worm wheel to rotate, the worm wheel drives the valve stem to rotate, and the valve stem drives the valve disc on the outer wall to rotate, thereby sealing the inner cavity of the valve body and realizing the opening and closing of the valve;
[0016] At this time, the sealing ring on the inner wall of the valve body abuts against the outer wall of the valve disc, which can ensure the sealing of the device. When water flows against the side facing the valve disc, it will squeeze the sliding circular plate to move laterally. The sliding circular plate drives the mounting circular plate to move laterally. The mounting circular plate squeezes the spring and moves on the outer wall of the convex plate.
[0017] At this point, one side of the mounting plate abuts against the inclined surface of the protrusion, which in turn causes multiple protrusions to move away from each other. The protrusions drive the push rod to move laterally, and one end of the push rod squeezes the sealing gasket. At this point, the sealing gasket abuts against the sealing ring, further improving the sealing performance of the device. In addition, multiple sealing gaskets are pressed against one side of the valve disc by the mounting ring block, and the sealing gaskets can be easily disassembled and replaced.
[0018] Beneficial effects:
[0019] The valve stem rotates by rotating the operating lever via a handwheel, which in turn drives the valve stem through the meshing of a worm gear and worm wheel. This drive method features a compact structure, a large transmission ratio, and easy control over the opening and closing of the valve, improving operational convenience and efficiency.
[0020] The sealing ring on the inner wall of the valve body abuts against the outer wall of the valve disc, forming a basic sealing structure. When the valve disc is subjected to water pressure, the sliding disc, mounting disc, and spring work together to push the sealing gasket to fit more tightly against the sealing ring, further improving the sealing effect. This dynamic sealing mechanism effectively prevents leakage and ensures the reliability of the valve under high pressure or fluctuating pressure environments.
[0021] The gasket is pressed against one side of the valve disc by an mounting ring block. This design makes the gasket easy to remove and replace. After long-term use, if the gasket ages or becomes damaged, it can be quickly replaced, reducing maintenance costs and time, and extending the valve's service life.
[0022] The integrally formed flanges at both ends of the valve body facilitate connection with other piping equipment, enhancing the overall structural strength and stability. Simultaneously, the valve design considers the impact of water flow pressure on sealing performance, and through an automatic adjustment mechanism using protrusions and a push rod, it ensures a good sealing condition under various operating conditions.
[0023] The valve's design fully considers safety during operation. The handwheel and drive assembly make operation more intuitive and easier to understand, reducing the risk of misoperation. At the same time, enhanced sealing performance prevents potential safety accidents caused by leakage. Attached Figure Description
