[0029] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-directional sealing groove structure butterfly valve casting, including a butterfly valve body 1 and a butterfly valve sealing assembly. The butterfly valve sealing assembly is disposed inside the butterfly valve body 1 and includes a valve stem 3, which is rotatably connected inside the butterfly valve body 1. A valve disc 5 is disposed inside the butterfly valve body 1. Two valve disc connecting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the surface of the butterfly valve body 1. Both valve disc connecting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the valve disc 5. Two sealing sleeves 6 are sleeved on the surface of the valve disc 5. Two first sealing gaskets 8 for sealing the valve disc 5 and the sealing sleeves 6 are disposed between the two sealing sleeves 6. The two sealing sleeves 6 are fixed together by two bolts.
[0030] The inner wall of the butterfly valve housing 1 is provided with a valve disc guide groove 7 for guiding the rotation of the valve disc 5 and the sealing sleeve 6.
[0031] Two first sealing grooves 9 are formed on the surface of the valve disc 5, and the inner walls of the two first sealing grooves 9 are provided with second sealing gaskets 10 for sealing the valve disc 5 and the sealing sleeve 6.
[0032] Two second sealing grooves 11 are formed on the surfaces of the two sealing sleeves 6, and two second sealing grooves 11 are also formed on the surfaces of the two first sealing gaskets 8. Two third sealing gaskets 12 are provided on the outer side of the valve disc 5 for sealing the butterfly valve body 1 and the two sealing sleeves 6. The two third sealing gaskets 12 are respectively set inside the corresponding second sealing grooves 11. The two second sealing grooves 11 on the surfaces of the sealing sleeves 6 and the first sealing gaskets 8 are arranged in a "V" shape.
[0033] An actuator 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the butterfly valve housing 1. The valve stem 3 rotates through the upper end of the butterfly valve housing 1 and extends into the interior of the actuator 2. A worm gear 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the valve stem 3. A worm 14 is rotatably connected inside the actuator 2. The worm 14 meshes with the worm gear 13. The worm 14 rotates and extends out of the actuator 2. A handwheel 15 is fixedly connected to the front end of the worm 14.
[0034] The front end of the actuator 2 is fixedly connected to a protective cover 16 for protecting the handwheel 15.
[0035] When using this device, the operator starts the entire operation process by turning the handwheel 15 when it is necessary to open or close the butterfly valve. The handwheel 15 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 14, and the rotation of the handwheel 15 will drive the worm gear 14 to rotate synchronously. Since the worm gear 14 and the worm wheel 13 mesh with each other, the rotation of the worm gear 14 will drive the worm wheel 13 to rotate. The worm wheel 13 is fixedly connected to the valve stem 3, so the rotation of the worm wheel 13 can drive the valve stem 3 to rotate inside the butterfly valve housing 1.
[0036] The protective cover 16 is designed to protect the handwheel 15, preventing accidental contact with the handwheel 15 when personnel approach, which could cause the valve disc 5 and sealing sleeve 6 to rotate, resulting in the butterfly valve opening or closing unexpectedly and affecting its sealing performance. The protective cover 16 also increases the difficulty of operation, preventing others from touching the handwheel 15 at will, reducing the safety risks caused by misoperation, and ensuring the stable operation of the pipeline system.
[0037] The rotation of valve stem 3 will cause the valve disc 5 connected to it to rotate around its own axis; valve disc 5 is firmly connected to butterfly valve body 1 through two valve disc connecting plates 4, ensuring the stability of valve disc 5 rotation; during the rotation of valve disc 5, valve disc guide groove 7 plays an important role; it is opened on the inner wall of butterfly valve body 1, which not only guides the rotation of valve disc 5 and sealing sleeve 6, but also precisely limits their rotation angle, so that valve disc 5 and sealing sleeve 6 can only rotate 90 degrees around valve stem 3 inside butterfly valve body 1, ensuring the accuracy and standardization of valve opening and closing actions.
[0038] Furthermore, when the butterfly valve is closed, the valve disc guide groove 7 can help limit the valve disc 5 and the sealing sleeve 6, thereby improving the pressure resistance of the butterfly valve during use.
[0039] In terms of sealing, the butterfly valve casting adopts a multi-directional sealing groove structure to achieve efficient sealing; two sealing sleeves 6 are fitted on the surface of the valve disc 5, and two first sealing gaskets 8 are set between the two sealing sleeves 6. The two sealing sleeves 6 are fixed together by bolts. This structure not only achieves the initial sealing between the valve disc 5 and the sealing sleeves 6, but also facilitates the timely replacement of the sealing sleeves 6, the second sealing gaskets 10 and the third sealing gaskets 12 when the sealing sleeves 6 are worn, effectively ensuring the sealing performance; two first sealing grooves 9 are opened on the surface of the valve disc 5, and the second sealing gaskets 10 set in the first sealing grooves 9 further enhance the sealing between the valve disc 5 and the sealing sleeves 6.
[0040] The surfaces of the two sealing sleeves 6 and the two first sealing gaskets 8 are all provided with "V"-shaped second sealing grooves 11. The two third sealing gaskets 12 provided on the outside of the valve disc 5 are respectively installed inside the corresponding second sealing grooves 11. This "V"-shaped sealing groove design allows the third sealing gaskets 12 to better fit the sealing groove under the action of fluid pressure when the valve is closed, increasing the sealing contact area, improving the sealing effect, and achieving effective sealing between the butterfly valve body 1 and the two sealing sleeves 6.
[0041] When valve disc 5 is rotated to the fully closed position, the multi-directional sealing groove structure works together to prevent fluid from passing through, thus achieving the closing function; when valve disc 5 is rotated to the open position, fluid can pass through the butterfly valve smoothly, thus achieving the opening function; throughout the process, all components work closely together, and the multi-directional sealing groove structure effectively prevents leakage, ensuring the stability and sealing performance of the butterfly valve during long-term use.
[0042] Furthermore, by setting up the valve disc 5, sealing sleeve 6, and valve disc guide groove 7, the valve can be opened and closed by rotating around the axis of the valve stem 3. The sealing sleeve 6 is fixed with bolts, which also facilitates the timely replacement of the sealing sleeve 6, the second sealing gasket 10, and the third sealing gasket 12 when the sealing sleeve 6 is worn, effectively ensuring the sealing performance.

[0051] Second sealing gasket 10: Installed in the first sealing groove 9, it enhances the sealing between valve disc 5 and sealing sleeve 6 and is an important component of the multi-directional sealing structure.
[0052] The second sealing groove 11 is formed on the surface of the sealing sleeve 6 and the first sealing gasket 8 in a "V" shape. It is used to install the third sealing gasket 12. The "V" shape design can make the third sealing gasket 12 fit better when the valve is closed, increase the sealing contact area and improve the sealing effect.
[0053] The third sealing gasket 12 is installed in the second sealing groove 11 to achieve effective sealing between the butterfly valve body 1 and the two sealing sleeves 6. It is a key component of the multi-directional sealing structure.

[0057] Handwheel 15: By turning the handwheel 15, the operator drives the worm gear 14 to rotate, thereby initiating the opening or closing operation of the entire butterfly valve;
[0058] Protective cover 16: Protects the handwheel 15 to prevent accidental contact with the handwheel 15 from causing the valve disc 5 and sealing sleeve 6 to rotate, thus avoiding accidental opening or closing of the butterfly valve, reducing the risk of misoperation, and ensuring the stable operation of the pipeline system.
