Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a detachable connection structure for a butterfly valve, specifically a detachable connection structure between the valve plate and the valve stem of a butterfly valve. Background Technology

[0002] A butterfly valve is a simple regulating valve whose main function is to connect, disconnect, or regulate the flow of media in pipelines. Its working principle involves using a rotating valve plate to control the opening and closing of the pipeline. When the valve plate rotates to be perpendicular to the pipeline direction, the valve is closed; when the valve plate rotates to be parallel to the pipeline direction, the valve is fully open. In practical applications, butterfly valves can also be partially opened between 0 and 90 degrees to regulate the flow of media in the pipeline, thereby achieving precise control of the media transported in the pipeline system.

[0003] Butterfly valves are mainly used in water supply and drainage systems, fire protection systems, and chemical industries. In some pipelines with corrosive media, the valve plate and valve stem may be corroded or rusted, affecting their strength and sealing performance. In this case, it is necessary to disassemble the old valve stem or valve plate and replace it with a brand new valve plate or valve stem.

[0004] Currently, butterfly valve stems and plates are connected by pins and pins, keys, or bolts. However, when disassembling and assembling the stem and plate using these connection methods, it is necessary to select the appropriate tools (such as pin pullers or torque wrenches) according to the connection type, and to take care to protect the precision and surface quality of the connection parts to avoid secondary damage. The disassembly and assembly are inefficient and require the use of special disassembly tools.

[0005] The existing butterfly valve plate and valve stem are mainly fixed by pins or bolts. However, the method of fixing the valve plate and valve stem by pins or bolts is cumbersome and requires the selection of special disassembly tools according to the connection type, such as loosening the bolts and pulling out the pins. Attention should be paid to protecting the precision and surface quality of the connection parts to avoid secondary damage to the valve stem and valve plate. The disassembly and assembly is inefficient. Utility Model Content

However, the method of fixing the valve plate and valve stem by pins or bolts is cumbersome to disassemble and assemble. It is necessary to select special disassembly tools according to the connection type, such as loosening the bolts and pulling out the pins, and to pay attention to protecting the precision and surface quality of the connection parts to avoid secondary damage to the valve stem and valve plate, resulting in low efficiency during disassembly and assembly.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A detachable connection structure for a butterfly valve plate and valve stem includes a valve body, a shaft seat at the bottom of the valve body, a valve plate body and a shaft hole on one side of the valve plate body inside the valve body, a valve stem body at the top of the valve body, a locking mechanism for assembling the valve stem body in the shaft hole, and a coupling fixing mechanism in the shaft hole.

[0009] The valve stem body is provided with an elastic disassembly mechanism, which is in a squeezing fit with the locking mechanism. The valve stem body is connected to a rotating mechanism located on the top of the valve body.

[0010] The detachable connection structure between the butterfly valve plate and the valve stem, as described above, includes two sliding grooves opened in the shaft hole and a first spring disposed in the sliding groove. The first spring is provided with a beveled locking block. A piston sliding block is slidably installed in the shaft hole, and the piston sliding block and the beveled locking block are in a pressing fit.

[0011] As described above, the detachable connection structure between the butterfly valve plate and the valve stem includes two second springs fixedly connected in the shaft hole. The second springs provide an elastic reset effect for the piston sliding block. A convex coupling is provided at the bottom of the piston sliding block, and the convex coupling is inserted into a concave coupling rotatably disposed in the shaft seat.

[0012] The butterfly valve plate and valve stem are detachable connection structures as described above: the elastic disassembly mechanism includes a pressing rod disposed in the valve stem body and an angled pressing block disposed at the bottom of the pressing rod, and the bottom of the valve stem body is provided with two slots.

[0013] The detachable connection structure between the butterfly valve plate and the valve stem, as described above, includes an elastic disassembly mechanism that further includes a sloping push block that slides within the slot and a third spring located on one side of the sloping push block. The sloping extrusion block engages with the two sloping push blocks in a pressing manner.

[0014] The butterfly valve plate and valve stem are detachably connected as described above: the two inclined blocks cooperate with the slot, and the valve stem body is inserted into the shaft hole from the top and bottom.

[0015] The detachable connection structure between the valve plate and the valve stem of the butterfly valve as described above: the rotating mechanism includes a rotating handle located on the top of the valve body and a bevel gear transmission mechanism located on one side of the rotating handle, wherein the bevel gear transmission mechanism is inserted into the valve stem body in an upper and lower manner.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting an elastic quick-release structure between the valve body, valve stem and valve body, it is possible to disassemble and assemble in one step, simplifying the multi-step disassembly and assembly structure of the traditional butterfly valve to installation and disassembly by "one insertion and one press", which has the advantages of high efficiency, tool-free operation and suitability for high-frequency maintenance.

[0017] After the valve stem is inserted into the shaft hole of the valve plate, the convex coupling inside the shaft hole of the valve plate will connect with the concave coupling at the bottom of the valve body, so that the valve body, valve plate and valve stem can be installed together in one step, achieving efficient assembly.

The inclined edge block 10 fits against the inclined edge at the bottom of the piston sliding block 11. When the piston sliding block 11 moves downward, it will squeeze the two inclined edge blocks 10 to both sides, so that the inclined edge blocks 10 slide into the slide groove 8.

[0035] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the coupling fixing mechanism includes two second springs 12 fixedly connected in the shaft hole 4. The second springs 12 provide an elastic reset effect for the piston sliding block 11. A convex coupling 13 is provided at the bottom of the piston sliding block 11. The convex coupling 13 is inserted into a concave coupling 14 rotatably disposed in the shaft seat 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, a second spring 12 is provided below the piston sliding block 11. The second spring 12 can provide elastic reset function for the piston sliding block 11. The convex coupling 13 and the concave coupling 14 are inserted into each other vertically.

[0039] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the elastic disassembly mechanism further includes a beveled push block 18 that slides in the slot 17 and a third spring 19 disposed on one side of the beveled push block 18, wherein the beveled pressing block 16 is in a pressing fit with the two beveled push blocks 18.

[0042] In this embodiment, the inclined block 10 and the slot 17 slide together, the shaft hole 4 is designed in an arc shape, and the lower half of the valve stem body 5 is designed in an arc shape, so that the valve stem body 5 and the shaft hole 4 are inserted into each other.

When disassembly is required, the pressing rod 15 is pressed down, causing the two inclined side blocks 10 to push the two inclined side push blocks 18 into the slot 17, thereby squeezing the two inclined side blocks 10 out of the slot 17 and causing the valve plate body 3 to lose its fixation. At this time, the second spring 12 immediately pops out, driving the piston sliding block 11 to move upward and reset. At this time, the convex coupling 13 at the bottom will move out from above the concave coupling 14 at the bottom of the valve body 1, achieving one-step disassembly.

[0045] The above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Therefore, without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model, any technical solutions that can be implemented in other specific forms are included in this utility model.
