[0002] A gate valve is a device that controls fluid flow through a gate. The gate moves perpendicular to the direction of the fluid. Gate valves can only be fully open or fully closed; they cannot be used for regulation or throttling. Gate valves are sealed by the contact between the valve seat and the gate. Usually, metal materials are installed on the sealing surface to increase wear resistance. The opening and closing of the gate valve is driven by the raising and lowering of the valve stem. The valve stem of a gate valve needs to be lubricated regularly during production and daily life.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a gate valve stem with a lubrication device, including a valve tube 1, a fixed box 101 fixedly connected to the top of the valve tube 1, a screw cylinder 102 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed box 101, a switch assembly 2 provided between the interior of the fixed box 101 and the interior of the valve tube 1, the switch assembly 2 including a valve stem 201, the valve stem 201 being threadedly connected inside the screw cylinder 102 and inside the fixed box 101, a gate valve 202 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the valve stem 201, and a rotating plate 203 fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem 201. When a person rotates the rotating plate 203 to drive the valve stem 201 to rotate, it can open the valve. The gate valve 202 moves up and down, causing the valve pipe 1 to open or close. A circular groove 103 is provided on the side of the fixed box 101. The inside of the circular groove 103 is a lubrication component 3 for lubricating the switch assembly 2. The side of the lubrication component 3 is provided with an observation component 4 for observing the amount of lubrication component 3. Through the coordinated arrangement of the circular groove 103, the lubrication component 3 and the observation component 4, the lubrication component 3 will not directly contact the outside world, avoiding the lubricating oil from absorbing dust and impurities, thereby preventing the normal operation of the valve stem 201. The setting of the observation component 4 makes it easy to know the amount of lubricating oil used, thus making it easy for personnel to control the amount of lubricating oil used.

[0022] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the lubrication assembly 3 includes an oil reservoir 301, which is inserted into a circular groove 103. A connecting pipe 302 is fixedly connected to the side end of the oil reservoir 301. A sponge 303 is threadedly installed on the side end of the connecting pipe 302. The sponge 303 is removable and replaceable. A screw 304 is threadedly connected to the side end of the oil reservoir 301. A piston 305 is fixedly connected to the side end of the screw 304, which is located inside the oil reservoir 301. A knob 306 is fixedly connected to the side end of the screw 304. Two side plates 307 are fixedly connected to the side end, and a second side plate 308 is fixedly connected to the side end of the oil storage pipe 301. Bolts 309 are installed between the side end of each side plate 307 and the side end of the fixed box 101. In practice, by disassembling the sponge 303, rotating the knob 306 drives the screw 304 and piston 305 to move within the oil storage pipe 301, causing the connecting pipe 302 to align with the lubricating oil collected in the valve pipe 1. Then, the sponge 303 is reinstalled, and the oil storage pipe 301 is inserted into the circular groove 10. After 3 minutes, the side plate 307 is installed to the side end of the fixed box 101 using bolts 309. Then, rotating the knob 306 drives the screw 304 and piston 305 to rotate. The piston 305, under the rotation of the screw 304, pushes the lubricating oil towards the connecting pipe 302, causing the lubricating oil to wet the sponge 303 after passing through the connecting pipe 302. When the operator rotates the rotating plate 203, causing the valve stem 201 to rotate, the gate valve 202 can move up and down, opening or closing the valve pipe 1. At this time, the valve stem... As valve stem 201 moves up and down, it continuously contacts sponge 303. The lubricating oil absorbed by sponge 303 can evenly wipe valve stem 201, thus facilitating lubrication. At the same time, the sponge 303 saves lubricating oil and avoids excessive lubricating oil being applied to valve stem 201, which would be wasteful. Since oil reservoir 301 and sponge 303 are located in circular groove 103, they do not directly contact the outside environment, preventing the lubricating oil from absorbing dust and impurities, thereby ensuring the normal operation of valve stem 201.

[0023] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the observation component 4 includes a guide rod 401, which is fixedly connected to the side end of the side plate 308. The top of the guide rod 401 has a scale line 402, and a circular plate 403 is fixedly connected to the side end of the guide rod 401. A sleeve plate 404 is fitted on the outer end of the guide rod 401, and a bearing 405 is installed on the inner side of the sleeve plate 404. A knob 306 is installed on the inner side of the bearing 405. In practice, rotating the knob 306 drives the screw 304 and the piston 305 to rotate. At this time, the piston 305 pushes the lubricating oil towards the connecting pipe 302 under the rotation of the screw 304, so that the lubricating oil wets the sponge 303 after passing through the connecting pipe 302. At this time, due to the setting of the bearing 405, when the knob 306 can rotate, it drives the sleeve plate 404 to move at the outer end of the guide rod 401. At this time, the amount of lubricating oil can be known by observing the scale line 402 on the guide rod 401, which makes it easier for personnel to control the amount of lubricating oil used.

[0024] Working principle: By disassembling the sponge 303, rotating the knob 306 drives the screw 304 and piston 305 to move within the oil reservoir 301, aligning the connecting pipe 302 with the lubricating oil collected in the valve pipe 1. Then, the sponge 303 is reinstalled. After inserting the oil reservoir 301 into the circular groove 103, the side plate 307 is attached to the side of the fixed box 101 using bolts 309. Rotating the knob 306 then drives the screw 304 and piston 305 to rotate. The piston 305, under the rotation of the screw 304, pushes the lubricating oil towards the connecting pipe 302, allowing the lubricating oil to wet the sponge 303 after passing through the connecting pipe 302. Due to the bearing 405, with the knob 306 rotating, the sleeve 404 moves outside the guide rod 401. By observing the scale line 402 on the guide rod 401, the amount of lubricating oil can be determined, making it easier for personnel to control the amount of lubricating oil used. When the personnel rotate the rotating plate 203 to drive the valve stem 201 to rotate, the gate valve 202 can be moved up and down, causing the valve pipe 1 to open or close. At this time, the valve stem 201 will continuously contact the sponge 303 while moving up and down. The lubricating oil absorbed by the sponge 303 can evenly wipe the valve stem 201, thus facilitating the lubrication of the valve stem 201. At the same time, the setting of the sponge 303 can save lubricating oil and avoid excessive lubricating oil being applied to the valve stem 201, which would be wasteful. Since the oil storage pipe 301 and the sponge 303 are set in the circular groove 103, they will not directly contact the outside environment, avoiding the lubricating oil from absorbing dust and impurities, thereby preventing the valve stem 201 from operating normally.

[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
