Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of slide gate valves, specifically, it relates to a self-cleaning slide gate valve. Background Technology

[0002] Slide gate valves are typically installed at the bottom of sludge silos and can be hydraulic. Their function is to cut off the downward discharge of sludge from the silo. Over time, slide gate valves may accumulate dirt and grime, causing them to malfunction.

[0003] Patent application CN222746632U discloses a slide gate valve for preventing material accumulation. Paragraph 0014 of the specification discloses that: the rotation of a motor drives a threaded rod to rotate, which in turn drives a threaded sleeve to move up and down. The up and down movement of the threaded sleeve drives a hanging plate to move up and down. This up and down movement scrapes against the inner wall of the slide gate valve, cleaning the dirt on both sides of the inner wall. This prevents material from accumulating on both sides of the valve, ensures smooth flow of the medium, avoids obstruction or blockage, prevents dirt accumulation and scaling, and maintains the normal operation of the valve.

[0004] During actual use, the following defects were found: The device drives the end of the shovel plate by hanging the plate, so that it slides along the inner wall of the slide gate valve. It can effectively remove the dirt accumulated on the side wall and significantly reduce the risk of dirt accumulation and scaling. However, since the shovel plate needs to be fixedly installed inside the slide gate valve and cannot be removed from the side of the threaded sleeve, while performing the cleaning function, it can easily obstruct the normal flow of materials in the valve and even cause blockage problems, affecting the material conveying efficiency and smoothness of the slide gate valve.

[0005] To address these shortcomings, a self-cleaning slide gate valve is proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a self-cleaning slide gate valve, including a slide gate valve body 100 located inside a sludge tank. Two L-shaped plates 109 are placed on the upper side of the slide gate valve body 100. A positioning cylinder 111 is fixedly fitted on the upper side of the L-shaped plates 109. Two guide rods 106 are elastically and slidably fitted on the upper side of the slide gate valve body 100. The ends of the guide rods 106 are located inside the positioning cylinder 111. A first threaded rod 113 is threadedly fitted inside the L-shaped plates 109. Two T-shaped blocks 115 are slidably fitted on the side of the slide gate valve body 100. A positioning plate 121 is snapped onto the side of the T-shaped blocks 115. The first threaded rod 113 is located inside the positioning plate 121. A scraper 123 is fixedly fitted on the side of the positioning plate 121. The side of the scraper 123 is attached to the inner wall of the slide gate valve body 100. The horizontal section at the end of the scraper 123 extends inward to form two inclined surfaces 124.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] First, slide the guide rod 106, then place the T-block 115 inside the slide valve body 100, then place the L-shaped plate 109 on the upper side of the slide valve body 100, then release the guide rod 106. The guide rod 106 returns to its original position under elastic action, and the end of the guide rod 106 slides into the positioning cylinder 111. Then, place the end of the positioning plate 121 inside the T-block 115, and then thread the first threaded rod 113 into the L-shaped plate 109. The first threaded rod 113 slides into the positioning plate 121, and the positioning plate 121... 1. The scraper 123 is driven to adhere to the inner wall of the slide gate valve body 100, and then the T-block 115 is slid. The T-block 115 drives the side of the scraper 123 to slide on the inner wall of the slide gate valve body 100 through the positioning plate 121. The scraper 123 cleans the dirt attached to the inner wall of the slide gate valve body 100 through the inclined surface 124, reducing the problem of dirt attached to the inner wall of the slide gate valve body 100. Then the scraper 123 is removed from the inside of the slide gate valve body 100, reducing the impact of the presence of the scraper 123 on the material conveying efficiency inside the slide gate valve body 100.

[0032] By designing a detachable scraper 123 on the inner wall of the slide gate valve body 100, the side of the scraper 123 is attached to the inner wall of the slide gate valve body 100, which can scrape off the sludge adhering to the inner wall in a timely manner during the operation of the slide gate valve body 100, effectively reducing the problem of sludge accumulation on the inner wall of the slide gate valve body 100. The two inclined surfaces 124 formed by the horizontal section at the end of the scraper 123 extending inward can guide the sludge to slide down, avoiding the accumulation of sludge at the end of the scraper 123, further improving the anti-accumulation effect. At the same time, the detachable scraper 123 can avoid the obstruction of the scraper 123 during material conveying.

[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a fixing post 104 is fixedly fitted on the upper side of the slide valve body 100. Guide holes 105 are provided at both ends of the fixing post 104. The end of the guide rod 106 is slidably fitted inside the guide hole 105. A sliding block 107 is fixedly fitted on the periphery of the guide rod 106. A spring 108 is fixedly fitted between the side of the sliding block 107 and the end of the fixing post 104. The spring 108 is sleeved on the periphery of the guide rod 106. A slot 110 is provided on the side of the L-shaped plate 109. The lower end of the sliding block 107 is located inside the slot 110. The sliding fit between the guide rod 106 and the guide hole 105, and the fit between the sliding block 107 and the slot 110, provide good positioning and guidance for the L-shaped plate 109. During the operation of the slide gate valve, whether the scraper 123 moves to scrape material or the slide gate valve body 100 vibrates due to material flow, the L-shaped plate 109 can remain stable, ensuring that the scraper 123 accurately fits against the inner wall of the slide gate valve body to perform scraping operations, thereby improving the reliability of the scraping effect.

[0034] like Figure 1-4As shown, in this embodiment, the side of the slide gate valve body 100 has two T-shaped grooves 103. A T-shaped block 115 slides within the T-shaped groove 103. A positioning groove 120 is provided on the side of the T-shaped block 115. The end of the positioning plate 121 is located inside the positioning groove 120. A first threaded hole 112 is provided on the side of the L-shaped plate 109. A first threaded rod 113 is threaded into the first threaded hole 112. A rotating disk 114 is fixedly fitted to the end of the first threaded rod 113. A through hole 122 is provided on the side of the positioning plate 121. The first threaded rod 113 is located inside the through hole 122. The side of the T-shaped block 115 is fixedly fitted with a rotating disk 114. A connecting block 116 is fixedly fitted, and a second threaded hole 119 is opened on one side of the connecting block 116. A servo motor is fixedly fitted at the bottom of the L-shaped plate 109. The servo motor model can be BYC10-60BR6430A5-C. A second threaded rod 117 is fixedly fitted at the output end of the servo motor. The second threaded rod 117 is threadedly engaged with the second threaded hole 119. A fixed plate 118 is fixedly fitted at the lower end of the second threaded rod 117. Two positioning plates 102 are fixedly fitted inside the sludge bin. Positioning grooves 101 are opened on both sides of the slide valve body 100, and the positioning plates 102 are located inside the positioning grooves 101. When it is necessary to clean, replace, or maintain other components of the scraper 123, the servo motor should be turned off first to stop the scraper 123 from moving. Then, by rotating the rotating disk 114, the first threaded rod 113 is screwed upwards a certain distance, loosening the connection between the positioning plate 121 and the T-block 115, making it easier to remove the positioning plate 121 from the positioning groove 120 of the T-block 115. Afterwards, the scraper 123 can be cleaned or replaced. Simultaneously, the sliding fit between the T-block 115 and the T-groove 103 facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the T-block 115 and related connecting parts. The slide gate valve body 100 is installed in conjunction with the positioning plate 102 in the sludge bin through the positioning groove 101, ensuring the stable installation of the slide gate valve in the sludge bin, reducing the swaying of the slide gate valve during material conveying, and contributing to the stable operation of the entire material conveying system. The servo motor drives the second threaded rod 117 to rotate, thereby automatically moving the scraper 123 up and down to clean the material, reducing manual operation and improving cleaning efficiency. Compared to manual cleaning, automated cleaning can address material accumulation issues more promptly, preventing excessive material buildup from affecting the normal operation of the gate valve and ensuring the continuity and stability of material conveying.
