Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of butterfly valve technology, specifically a butterfly valve with anti-backflow control. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial pipeline systems, water supply and drainage projects, and energy transmission, butterfly valves have become commonly used valves for controlling fluid flow and regulating flow due to their advantages such as compact structure, low flow resistance, easy operation, and rapid opening and closing.

[0003] A butterfly valve disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN205956416U includes a valve body and a butterfly plate. The butterfly plate is connected to the valve body via a valve stem. A ceramic sealing ring is disposed within the valve body, and a ceramic sealing ring is disposed on the butterfly plate that abuts against the ceramic sealing ring. A PTFE sealing ring is disposed in the center of the ceramic sealing ring. Through this arrangement, PTFE, with its high chemical inertness, stable main chain, resistance to reagent attack, good chemical resistance, good temperature resistance, low viscosity, and high lubricity, is positioned centrally to contact the ceramic sealing ring. Due to its excellent lubricity, it facilitates the opening and closing of the butterfly plate, reducing wear from the rigid contact between the ceramic components. Simultaneously, the PTFE sealing ring exhibits high sealing performance, effectively preventing gas and liquid leakage between the ceramic sealing ring and the ceramic sealing ring. Furthermore, both the ceramic sealing ring and the ceramic sealing ring have a long service life. With improved sealing performance and wear resistance, the butterfly valve has an even longer service life.

[0004] However, this butterfly valve cannot prevent liquid backflow. If the liquid is corrosive, the continuously flowing back liquid may corrode the butterfly valve, thus causing leakage. Therefore, a butterfly valve with anti-backflow control is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a butterfly valve with anti-backflow control, which addresses the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a butterfly valve with anti-backflow control, including a valve body, flanges on the upper and lower sides of the valve body, and an anti-backflow mechanism inside the valve body; the anti-backflow mechanism includes a handle, a rod, a butterfly plate, a spherical flow groove, a ball, a first horizontal rod, a vertical groove, a first telescopic rod, a spring, and a movable rod; the rod rotates through the valve body via a bearing, the handle is connected to the right end of the rod, the butterfly plate is connected to the left end of the rod, the butterfly plate is in contact with the inner wall of the valve body, the spherical flow groove is located in the middle of the valve body, the ball is located inside the spherical flow groove, the bottom end of the butterfly plate is hinged to the movable rod, and the bottom end of the movable rod is hinged to the ball.

[0007] Preferably, the two ends of the first crossbar are connected to the inner wall of the valve body, and the bottom end of the first telescopic rod is connected to the top of the first crossbar.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the sphere has a vertical groove, the top end of the first telescopic rod is connected to the top inner wall of the vertical groove, the spring is sleeved on the outside of the first telescopic rod, the top end of the spring is connected to the sphere, and the bottom end of the spring is connected to the first crossbar.

[0009] Preferably, the sphere and valve body are coated with anti-corrosion paint, the diameter of the sphere is larger than the inner diameter of the valve body, and the diameter of the sphere is smaller than the diameter of the spherical flow groove.

[0010] Preferably, a cleaning mechanism is provided at the bottom of the first crossbar. The cleaning mechanism includes a vertical bar, the top of which is connected to a ball. A second crossbar is connected to the bottom of the vertical bar, and a second telescopic bar is connected to the top of the second crossbar. The top of the second telescopic bar is connected to the first crossbar.

[0011] Preferably, the second crossbar is connected to a ring, the outer wall of the ring is connected to bristles, and the bristles are connected to the inner wall of the valve body.

[0012] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, which can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. By incorporating an anti-backflow mechanism, the system achieves both bidirectional anti-backflow and butterfly plate protection. Furthermore, the combination of the spring and telescopic rod further enhances sealing reliability. Rotating the handle causes the butterfly plate to seal the valve body, while the movable rod pulls the ball upwards to seal the spherical flow groove, forming a double-blocking structure to prevent corrosive media from flowing back and contacting the butterfly plate. The spring automatically adjusts the ball's sealing pressure when fluid pressure fluctuates, preventing seal failure due to reverse flow.

[0014] 2. The cleaning mechanism automatically removes impurities from the valve body, and the ball-and-ball linkage design further improves the efficiency of pipeline maintenance and ensures unobstructed flow. When the ball moves upward, the vertical rod drives the circular brush to scrape off particulate impurities adhering to the inner wall of the valve body. The second telescopic rod provides a buffer when the ball returns to its original position, ensuring that the brush bristles remain in contact with the inner wall. This structure operates synchronously with the valve opening and closing, requiring no additional power and reducing the frequency of manual cleaning and the risk of pipeline blockage.
