[0002] In modern industrial fluid transport systems, gate valves, as key components for controlling fluid flow, are widely used in petroleum, chemical, power, water supply and drainage and other fields. In particular, gate valves with double floating seats play an important role in fluid control under complex conditions due to their advantages such as bidirectional sealing, adaptability to high pressure differential conditions and insensitivity to medium flow direction. In addition, gate valves with double floating seats are generally suitable for low-pressure applications, such as water supply projects.

[0003] Currently, when connecting gate valves with double floating seats to water supply pipelines, most use flanges with bolts and nuts for fastening. This requires precise alignment of the bolt holes during installation, making the process cumbersome, especially in limited workspaces where installing and disassembling long bolts is inconvenient. Furthermore, some gate valves are connected to pipelines by welding. While welding offers high strength and sealing, this is a permanent connection. Once installed, if the gate valve malfunctions and requires repair or replacement, it must be disassembled using destructive methods such as cutting. This is not only difficult to operate but also damages the pipeline, increasing maintenance costs and time. To address these issues, the inventor proposes a gate valve with double floating seats to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, an annular mounting cover is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the connecting pipe near the gate valve body, and an auxiliary push ring is fixedly connected to the side of the annular sliding cover away from the gate valve body.

[0009] Preferably, a guide telescopic rod is symmetrically fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the annular mounting cover near the gate valve body. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side end of the annular sliding cover near the guide telescopic rod, and the side end of the guide telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

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] Example: Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a gate valve with double floating seats, including a gate valve body 1 and an external connecting pipe 2. Connecting pipes 11 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the gate valve body 1. Limiting grooves 22 are symmetrically formed at the center of the outer circumference of the external connecting pipe 2, near the center of the side closest to the connecting pipe 11. The limiting grooves 22 are designed to cooperate with limiting shafts 35 to limit the movement of the external connecting pipe 2. The limiting grooves 22 and the limiting shafts 35 are at the same level. The limiting shafts 35 are symmetrically slidably inserted at the center of the outer circumference of the connecting pipe 11, away from the center of the side furthest from the gate valve body 1. The limiting shaft 35 is adapted to the limiting groove 22. A circular plate 36 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting shaft 35 away from the center of the connecting tube 11. The circular plate 36 is set to cooperate with the spring 2 38 to realize the effect of the limiting shaft 35 being inserted into the limiting groove 22 and resetting. A spring 2 38 is fixedly connected to the end of the circular plate 36 near the center of the connecting tube 11, and the other end of the spring 2 38 is fixedly connected to the connecting tube 11. The spring 2 38 is sleeved on the outer ring of the limiting shaft 35. There is a certain fitting gap between the limiting shaft 35 and the connecting tube 11 to ensure that it can slide flexibly.

[0021] A sealing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the external connecting pipe 2 on the side close to the gate valve body 1.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing ring 21 is made of rubber or silicone, which can effectively prevent media leakage.

[0023] An annular sliding cover 31 is provided on the outer ring of the connecting pipe 11 and near the limiting insert shaft 35.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the annular sliding cover 31 is fitted and slides on the outer ring of the connecting pipe 11, which can drive the inclined platform 39 to slide horizontally.

[0025] An inclined platform 39 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner ring of the annular sliding cover 31 near the center of the two circular plates 36, and the inclined platform 39 and the circular plates 36 are at the same level.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined platform 39 is set so that it can drive the limiting shaft 35 to complete the work of locking in the limiting groove 22 when moving.

[0027] A ball bearing 37 is provided at the center of one end of the circular plate 36 near the inclined platform 39.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, a ball bearing 37 is set on the side of the circular plate 36 away from the center of the connecting pipe 11, so as to cooperate with the inclined platform 39 and the spring 2 38 to drive the limit insert shaft 35 to rise and fall.

[0029] An annular mounting cover 3 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the connecting pipe 11 and near the gate valve body 1. An auxiliary push ring 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the annular sliding cover 31 away from the gate valve body 1.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, an auxiliary push ring 4 is set on the side of the annular sliding cover 31 to facilitate the horizontal movement of the annular sliding cover 31, and an annular mounting cover 3 is set to facilitate the installation and fixing of the guide telescopic rod 33 and spring 34.

[0031] A guide telescopic rod 33 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the annular mounting cover 3 near the gate valve body 1. A connecting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the side end of the annular sliding cover 31 near the guide telescopic rod 33, and the side end of the guide telescopic rod 33 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 32.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, a connecting plate 32 is provided on the side of the annular sliding cover 31 in order to cooperate with the guide telescopic rod 33 and the spring 34.

[0033] A spring 34 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the annular mounting cover 3 and sleeved on the outer ring of the guide telescopic rod 33, and the other end of the spring 34 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 32.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring 34 is set in order to restore the effect of the annular sliding cover 31, so that it can drive the inclined platform 39 to move back and forth.

[0035] Working principle: When the external connecting pipe 2 needs to be connected, the auxiliary push ring 4 is pushed towards the gate valve body 1, thereby causing the fixedly connected annular sliding cover 31 to drive the two connecting plates 32 to squeeze the spring 34. This allows the inclined platform 39 to move towards the gate valve body 1 to release the lifting work of the limit insert shaft 35. At this time, the limit insert shaft 35 will be reset to the initial position under the action of the spring 38.

[0036] Then, the external connecting pipe 2 can be inserted into the connecting pipe 11. Once the limiting groove 22 and the limiting insert shaft 35 are at the same level, the force on the auxiliary push ring 4 is released. This allows the spring 34 to be pushed by the guide telescopic rod 33 to move the connecting plate 32 and the annular sliding cover 31 away from the gate valve body 1. This causes the inclined platform 39 to push the limiting insert shaft 35 towards the center of the connecting pipe 11, thus achieving the effect of being locked in the limiting groove 22. The sealing ring 21 can effectively prevent the leakage of the medium.

[0037] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
