Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diaphragm valve technology, specifically a diaphragm mounting structure for a diaphragm valve. Background Technology
[0002] Diaphragm valves, due to their simple structure, leak-free operation, and suitability for media containing particles or high viscosity, have been widely used in pharmaceuticals, bio-fermentation, food and beverage, and fine chemicals. The core functional component of a diaphragm valve—the diaphragm—not only isolates the medium from the actuator but also uses its elastic deformation to open and close the flow channel and regulate flow. However, the diaphragm is highly susceptible to fatigue failure under the combined effects of long-term alternating stress, media erosion, and temperature / pressure cycles, making it the most typical vulnerable component in the entire valve.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, the connection between the diaphragm and the actuator (such as a pneumatic piston, handwheel or electric actuator) generally adopts a complex structure such as multi-level nesting, threaded locking, snap ring or conical surface clamping. This means that when replacing the diaphragm, the operator needs to use special tooling to avoid damaging the diaphragm insert or valve stem sealing surface, which significantly reduces the efficiency of diaphragm replacement.
[0004] Based on this, a diaphragm mounting structure for a diaphragm valve is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a diaphragm mounting structure for a diaphragm valve to solve the problems in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A diaphragm mounting structure for a diaphragm valve includes a carrier for mounting the diaphragm. The carrier includes a valve body and a valve cover, which are connected by bolts. The diaphragm is mounted at the connection between the valve body and the valve cover. The diaphragm includes a support portion, an elastic portion, and a sealing portion. The support portion is fixedly mounted on the carrier. The elastic portion is connected to the inner side of the support portion. The sealing portion is fixed at the center of the elastic portion. A push rod is provided on the sealing portion. The upper end of the push rod is connected to an actuator provided on the valve cover via a quick-release connector.
[0008] Based on the above technical solutions, this utility model also provides the following optional technical solutions:
[0009] In one alternative: the valve body has an input pipe at one end and an output pipe at the other end, a partition plate in the middle of the valve body, an opening in the partition plate, an arc-shaped groove matching the sealing part in the opening, and an annular stop block on the outside of the opening.
[0010] In one alternative: the upper end of the valve body is provided with a first connecting seat for connecting with the valve cover, the first connecting seat is provided with a support seat for installing the diaphragm, and the support seat is provided with a first annular groove.
[0011] In one alternative: the valve cover includes a cover body, the cover body is provided with a second connecting seat that is bolted to the first connecting seat, the bottom end of the cover body is provided with a pressure block, and the lower end of the pressure block is provided with a second annular protrusion.
[0012] In one alternative embodiment: the actuator includes a piston rod slidably disposed on the cover, the lower end of the piston rod having a connecting groove, a top plate slidably mounted in the connecting groove, and a spring disposed on the top plate.
[0013] In one alternative embodiment: the quick-release connector includes a slot disposed on the inner wall of the connecting groove and a connecting rod disposed on the top rod, wherein the connecting rod is provided with a locking block that matches the slot.
[0014] In one alternative: the upper end of the support portion is provided with a second annular groove that matches the second annular protrusion, and the lower end of the support portion is provided with a first annular protrusion that matches the first annular groove.
[0015] In one alternative: a protective plate is provided on the outside of the sealing part, a spherical groove is provided at the upper end of the sealing part, a ball is provided in the spherical groove, and the ball is fixed to the lower end of the top rod.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. This utility model achieves quick assembly and disassembly of the diaphragm and the actuator through a quick-release connector set between the actuator and the diaphragm, effectively improving the replacement efficiency of the diaphragm. At the same time, the annular groove and annular protrusion set on the diaphragm support improve the stability and sealing of the diaphragm installation.
[0018] 2. This utility model uses a protective plate set on the outside of the diaphragm sealing part. When the valve is closed, the sealing part is sealed in the opening. At the same time, the protective plate is in contact with the annular stop block, which improves the sealing effect. When the valve is opened, the actuator drives the diaphragm to move upward, causing the elastic part to deform upward, driving the protective plate to fit against the outside of the sealing part, thereby reducing the scouring loss of the sealing part by the medium.
