Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluid control equipment technology, and in particular to a novel fully sealed disc valve. Background Technology

[0002] Fully sealed butterfly valves are widely used in various industrial fields, especially in applications requiring precise flow control and media isolation. Due to their compact structure, flexible operation, and good sealing performance, fully sealed butterfly valves are widely used in industries such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, and power.

[0003] Currently, traditional fully sealed butterfly valves mostly use a single-stage sealing structure in actual use, which is prone to leakage under high pressure differential or bidirectional flow conditions. At the same time, the fixed valve seat cannot dynamically compensate for wear, and the sealing specific pressure is difficult to automatically adjust when the pressure fluctuates, which can easily affect the performance of the equipment. To address these issues, we propose a new type of fully sealed butterfly valve. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel fully sealed disc valve to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel fully sealed disc valve includes a cylindrical valve body, a set of flange interface assemblies on the outer surface of the cylindrical valve body, a quick-release valve cover assembly on the outer surface of the cylindrical valve body, a valve stem assembly on the outer surface of the cylindrical valve body, a double-stage sealing disc assembly inside the cylindrical valve body, and an installation groove inside the cylindrical valve body.

[0007] In a further embodiment, each of the flange interface assemblies includes a flange, the outer surface of each flange is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cylindrical valve body, each flange has a set of mounting holes on its outer surface, and a sealing block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each flange.

[0008] In a further embodiment, the quick-release valve cover assembly includes a mounting block, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cylindrical valve body, a permanent magnet is fixedly embedded on the outer surface of the mounting block, a sealing gasket is provided on the outer surface of the mounting block, a valve cover body is provided on the side of the sealing gasket away from the mounting block, and a set of mounting bolts is provided on the outer surface of the valve cover body.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the valve stem assembly includes a valve stem body, an external handle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the valve stem body, and an anti-slip sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the external handle.

[0010] In a further embodiment, an outer metal sealing ring is snapped onto the outer surface of the dual-stage sealing disc assembly, an inner lip-shaped sealing ring is fixedly embedded on the outer surface of the dual-stage sealing disc assembly, and a mating block is provided on the outer surface of the dual-stage sealing disc assembly, the outer surface of the mating block being snapped onto the outer surface of the valve stem body.

[0011] In a further embodiment, a floating valve seat is snapped into the interior of the mounting groove, a disc spring assembly is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the floating valve seat, an annular cavity is provided on the outer surface of the floating valve seat, the outer surface of the disc spring assembly is tightly fitted with the interior of the annular cavity, and an inclined plate is provided on the outer surface of the floating valve seat.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This device effectively solves the leakage problem of traditional single-stage seals under high pressure differential or bidirectional flow conditions through a dual-stage sealing disc assembly design. The outer metal sealing ring provides rigid sealing, while the inner lip sealing ring achieves secondary sealing through elastic deformation. This combined sealing structure allows the valve to maintain excellent sealing performance even under pressure fluctuations, making it particularly suitable for harsh conditions such as those in the petroleum and chemical industries. Simultaneously, the synergistic effect of the floating valve seat and disc spring assembly achieves automatic compensation of the sealing surface. When the sealing surface wears due to long-term use, the spring assembly continuously provides appropriate sealing pressure, ensuring that the sealing effect is not affected. This design significantly extends the valve's service life and reduces maintenance frequency. Furthermore, the quick-release valve cover assembly uses permanent magnet adsorption combined with mounting bolts for fixation, reducing maintenance time by more than 60% compared to traditional bolt connections. The optimized design of the sealing gasket avoids the risk of damage during disassembly, making daily maintenance more convenient and efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] When in use, the fluid first enters the cylindrical valve body 1 through the flange interface assembly 2. The operator rotates the external handle 401 of the valve stem assembly 4 to drive the double-stage sealing disc assembly 5 to rotate, thereby opening and closing the valve. At the same time, the double-stage sealing disc assembly 5 forms a double seal through the outer metal sealing ring 503 and the inner lip sealing ring 502, ensuring zero leakage under high pressure differential or bidirectional flow conditions. At this time, the floating valve seat 602 dynamically compensates for wear under the elastic support of the disc spring assembly 603 and automatically adjusts the sealing pressure to adapt to pressure fluctuations. Finally, the quick-release valve cover assembly 3 achieves quick maintenance through the permanent magnet and the mounting bolt 301. The sealing block 203 of the flange interface assembly 2 further enhances the sealing performance of the pipeline connection.
