[0031] Please see Figure 1-4 A three-piece butterfly valve for liquid pipeline control includes: a valve body 1, comprising two inner valve bodies 101 and an outer valve body 102; the two inner valve bodies 101 are arranged adjacent to each other, and a sealing ring is provided between the two inner valve bodies 101; two outer valve bodies 102 are arranged on opposite sides of the two inner valve bodies 101, and a sealing ring is also provided between the outer valve bodies 102 and the inner valve bodies 101 to further improve the sealing performance; the other end of the outer valve body 102 is provided with a pipe connection structure, which is a flange with a mounting hole; and a valve body is provided between the two inner valve bodies 101. Inside the chamber is a butterfly plate 2, which is fixedly connected to a hand crank 3 located between two inner valve bodies 101. By rotating the hand crank 3, the butterfly plate 2 can be quickly reversed to control the water flow. Multiple quick-release components 4 are connected to the valve bodies 1 of the same type. Each quick-release component 4 includes an axially arranged connecting rod 401. The inner valve body 101 and the outer valve body 102 are both provided with slots 6 that cooperate with the connecting rod 401. Safety components 5 that can circumferentially limit the connecting rod 401 are also slidably arranged on the inner valve body 101 and the outer valve body 102.

[0032] In this embodiment, a single quick-release assembly 4 further includes a nut 405 and a fixing part 404; one end of the connecting rod 401 is provided with a thread 402 that mates with the nut 405, and the other end is provided with a mounting part 403, which is rotatably connected to the fixing part 404 via a rotating shaft; this design allows one end of the connecting rod 401 to be tightly engaged with the nut 405 via the thread 402, while the other end can rotate flexibly via the rotating shaft and the fixing part 404. When installing and removing the valve body, only the nut 405 needs to be slightly loosened to rotate the screw via the rotating shaft, achieving quick removal of the valve body 1. Compared to the traditional threaded fixing method, the thread loosening time is shorter.

[0033] In this embodiment, the fixing part 404 and the nut 405 are located on opposite sides of the same type of valve body 1, and the nut 405 abuts against one end of the slot 6, while the fixing part 404 is fixedly installed on the valve body 1. Positioning the fixing part 404 and the nut 405 on opposite sides of the same type of valve body 1 allows the quick-release assembly 4 to generate a balanced tension force on the valve body in the axial direction, ensuring a tight connection between the various components of the valve body 1. The nut 405 abuts against one end of the slot 6, accurately fixing the connecting rod 401 within the slot 6 and preventing the connecting rod 401 from shifting in the axial direction. The fixing part 404, fixedly installed on the valve body 1, provides stable support for the entire quick-release assembly 4, ensuring reliable operation of the quick-release assembly 4.

[0034] In this embodiment, the valve body 1 at the slot 6 has a T-shaped arc-shaped groove 7. The safety component 5 cooperates with the groove 7 and includes an arc-shaped slide plate 501. A cylinder 502 is provided on one side of the slide plate 501. The T-shaped arc-shaped groove 7 provides a stable sliding track for the slide plate 501. The arc-shaped groove 7 and the slide plate 501 cooperate with each other, allowing the slide plate 501 to slide more smoothly in the groove 7. The cylinder 502 on one side of the slide plate 501 facilitates the operator to slide the slide plate 501, such as pushing or pulling the slide plate 501 to achieve circumferential limiting of the connecting rod 401.

[0035] In this embodiment, the contact surface between the slider 501 and the groove 7 is provided with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) wear-resistant layer to form damped sliding. PTFE has excellent wear resistance and self-lubricating properties. Providing a PTFE wear-resistant layer on the contact surface between the slider 501 and the groove 7 can effectively reduce friction and wear between the slider 501 and the groove 7, extending the service life of both. Simultaneously, the damped sliding design provides the slider 501 with a certain resistance during sliding, preventing it from easily moving due to slight vibrations or external forces. This ensures the stability of the safety component 5's circumferential limiting of the connecting rod 401, preventing accidental displacement of the connecting rod 401 during use.

[0036] In this embodiment, the radial dimension of the outer valve body 102 is larger than that of the inner valve body 101, and the quick-release components 4 on the outer valve body 102 and the quick-release components 4 on the inner valve body 101 are staggered, creating a clearance space for the quick-release components 4 on the outer valve body 102 on the radially outer side of the quick-release components 4 on the inner valve body 101. The larger radial dimension of the outer valve body 102 provides sufficient space for the installation of the quick-release components 4. The staggered design of the quick-release components 4 ensures that the quick-release components 4 on the outer valve body 102 and the inner valve body 101 do not interfere with each other during installation and disassembly, avoiding operational difficulties caused by limited space. The quick-release assembly 4 of the outer valve body 102 forms a clearance space on the radial outer side of the quick-release assembly 4 of the inner valve body 101, which further facilitates the operator to operate the quick-release assembly 4 and improves the efficiency of installation and maintenance. By loosening the quick-release assembly 4 connecting the two inner valve bodies 101, the two inner valve bodies 101 can be directly separated and the butterfly plate 2 can be taken out, which is convenient for the operator to assemble or repair.

[0037] In this embodiment, a sleeve 8 is fitted onto the hand crank 3, with one end of the sleeve 8 engaging with the two inner valve bodies 101. The sleeve 8 protects the hand crank 3 from impacts and wear during use, extending its service life. The engagement of one end of the sleeve 8 with the two inner valve bodies 101 further ensures the fixed position of the inner valve bodies 101, preventing them from shaking or falling off during use. This ensures the hand crank 3 can rotate stably, accurately controlling the butterfly plate 2 and guaranteeing the precision and reliability of the valve body 1's fluid control over the liquid pipeline.

[0038] In summary, this three-piece butterfly valve for liquid pipeline control, through the installation of a quick-release assembly 4, utilizes the cooperation between the connecting rod 401 and the slot 6, along with the nut 405 and the connection between the connecting rod 401 and the fixing part 404 via the rotation of the shaft, to achieve quick assembly and disassembly. Specifically, by loosening the nut 405, the connecting rod 401 can be quickly rotated via the shaft, avoiding the time-consuming, labor-intensive, and parts-loss problems of traditional bolt connections, greatly improving installation and maintenance efficiency, and meeting the needs of modern industry for efficient and convenient fluid control.

[0039] This three-piece butterfly valve for liquid pipeline control uses safety components 5 on the inner and outer valve bodies 102. The sliding plate 501 slides in the T-shaped arc groove 7 to limit the circumferential movement of the connecting rod 401. The contact surface of the sliding plate 501 is provided with a polytetrafluoroethylene wear-resistant layer to form damping sliding, which enhances the connection stability, prevents the connecting rod 401 from shifting, and ensures the safe and reliable operation of the valve body 1.

[0040] Quick-release and quick-installation principle: During installation, the connecting rod 401 is rotated around the shaft and inserted into the groove 6 around the inner and outer valve bodies 102. The nut 405 is rotated to even out the tension, achieving a tight connection between the valve bodies 1. During disassembly, the nut 405 is loosened, and the connecting rod 401 rotates around the shaft for quick assembly and disassembly. For safety, the T-shaped arc-shaped slide groove 7 at the groove 6 cooperates with the sliding plate 501 of the safety component 5. By manually moving the cylinder 502, the sliding plate 501 slides, and its contact surface provides damped sliding to stably limit the connecting rod 401, preventing displacement and ensuring reliable operation of the valve body 1.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
