[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a valve stem nut for a rising stem gate valve includes: a retaining ring 1 with a connecting seat 101 on its outer side; and a lubrication mechanism disposed inside the retaining ring 1 for lubricating the valve stem. The lubrication mechanism includes a rotating component 2 and a lubricating component 3. The rotating component 2 is disposed inside the retaining ring 1 for storing oil, and the lubricating component 3 is disposed outside the rotating component 2 for controlling the oil. The rotating component 2, in conjunction with the lubricating component 3, coats the valve stem with oil. Specifically, during use, the valve stem is controlled and lubricated by the cooperation of the rotating component 2 and the lubricating component 3 to ensure the stability of the gate valve's opening and closing. During use, the retaining ring 1 is connected to the gate valve body via the connecting seat 101.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the rotating component 2 includes a rotating column 202, which rotates inside the fixed ring 1, and the axis of the rotating column 202 is parallel to the axis of the fixed ring 1. Connecting sleeves 201 and baffles 206 are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating column 202. An oil storage tank 203 is provided inside the rotating column 202, and the oil storage tank 203 penetrates the baffle 206. A sealing ring 204 is provided at the opening end of the oil storage tank 203, and multiple oil outlet holes 205 are provided inside the sealing ring 204. Specifically, during use, the connecting... A control panel is also installed on the outside of the connecting sleeve 201. The control panel works with the connecting sleeve 201 to control the rotation of the rotating part 2 relative to the fixed ring 1, ensuring stability during valve stem adjustment. The oil reservoir 203 can store lubricating oil during use. The sealing ring 204 can block the oil inside the oil reservoir 203, and at the same time, the oil outlet 205 controls the falling speed of the oil. A sealing gasket is provided between the sealing ring 204 and the oil reservoir 203, and the sealing ring 204 and the oil reservoir 203 are connected by bolts.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the lubricating component 3 includes a connecting plate 301, which is disposed outside the sealing ring 204. The connecting plate 301 has multiple connecting grooves 302 relative to the sealing ring 204, each corresponding to an oil outlet hole 205. A sliding hole is formed in the middle of the connecting plate 301, and a rotating groove is formed on the sidewall of the sliding hole. The rotating groove corresponds to and is connected to the connecting grooves 302. A ball bearing 303 is provided inside the rotating groove, and the ball bearing 303 rotates within the rotating groove. Specifically, during use… During the process, the oil flowing out of the oil outlet 205 is stored through the connecting groove 302, so that the ball 303 can pick up the oil inside the connecting groove 302 during rotation. The connecting plate 301 and the sealing ring 204 are connected by bolts, so that the connecting groove 302 can drive the sealing ring 204 and the connecting plate 301 to rotate synchronously. During use, the ball 303 abuts against the threaded groove on the outside of the valve stem, thereby driving the ball 303 to rotate during the movement of the valve stem, so that the ball 303 lubricates the valve stem at different positions.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the connecting plate 301 is also provided with an oil guide groove 304 on the side opposite to the sealing ring 204, and the oil guide groove 304 is connected to the connecting groove 302. Specifically, during use, the oil guide groove 304 connects multiple connecting grooves 302 to ensure the stability of the oil inside the connecting groove 302 during use.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a thrust bearing is also sleeved on the outside of the connecting sleeve 201 and the rotating column 202, and the thrust bearing is set at both ends of the fixed ring 1. Specifically, the thrust bearing can reduce the friction between the control panel and the fixed ring 1 during the rotation process, so as to ensure the stability of the control panel during use.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the working state of the valve stem nut of this rising stem gate valve is as follows: When controlling the valve stem, the valve stem is moved by rotating the rotating column 202. During the movement of the valve stem, the oil inside the oil storage tank 203 is guided by the cooperation of the oil outlet 205 and the connecting groove 302 to ensure that the oil can contact the ball 303. Finally, the valve stem drives the ball 303 to rotate while coating the outside of the valve stem with oil, thereby extending the service life of the valve stem.

[0031] In summary, this utility model includes: a fixed ring 1, with a connecting seat 101 on the outer side of the fixed ring 1; and a lubrication mechanism, disposed inside the fixed ring 1, for lubricating the valve stem. The lubrication mechanism includes a rotating component 2 and a lubricating component 3. The rotating component 2 is disposed inside the fixed ring 1 for storing oil, and the lubricating component 3 is disposed outside the rotating component 2 for controlling the oil. The rotating component 2, in conjunction with the lubricating component 3, coats the valve stem with oil. Through the arrangement of the rotating component 2 and the lubricating component 3, this utility model achieves oil coating on the valve stem during movement through the cooperation of the rotating column 202, the oil storage tank 203, the sealing ring 204, the oil outlet 205, the connecting plate 301, the connecting groove 302, and the ball bearing 303. This prevents the grease on the outer side of the valve stem from failing, which would lead to gradual corrosion on the valve stem surface, thereby reducing the difficulty of gate valve opening and closing control.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
