Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve installation technology, and in particular to a new valve installation tool. Background Technology

[0002] A butterfly valve is a common fluid control device used to regulate the flow rate of media such as gas, liquid, and solid particles in pipelines. It uses a central disc as the main control element, and flow control is achieved by rotating the disc. Valve installation should facilitate operation; ideally, the valve handwheel should be level with chest height (generally 1.2 meters from the operating floor), making opening and closing the valve easier.

[0003] Butterfly valves are generally installed horizontally. During installation, the positions of the gasket and valve need to be adjusted to ensure that the gasket is concentric with the pipeline and the valve is not tilted. Finally, the flange bolts are installed and tightened using a cross-symmetrical method. However, due to the horizontal height and angle of some water pipes, butterfly valve installation is difficult and inefficient. Therefore, it is necessary to use relevant tools for butterfly valve installation, such as the patent application document with authorization announcement number CN220268618U entitled "A Positioning Frame for Butterfly Valve Installation". The positioning frame includes an adjustment mechanism and a fixing mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a base and a cylinder, and the fixing mechanism includes a fixing frame. In the installation chamber, the butterfly valve is first fixed and then adjusted. The butterfly valve is supported and installed through the fixing and adjustment mechanisms.

[0004] In actual use, existing positioning frames for butterfly valve installation only contact the butterfly valve through simple clamping components. When faced with butterfly valves of different specifications and shapes, the fixing frame is difficult to adapt quickly. Moreover, the stability of existing positioning frames is not good. During subsequent adjustment, the butterfly valve is prone to shaking, which affects the installation accuracy. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a novel valve installation tool, including a suspension bracket 1 and an installation support frame 2. The suspension bracket 1 includes a base 11 and a hanger 12. The hanger 12 includes a vertical beam 13 and a horizontal beam 14 disposed on the top of the vertical beam 13. A suspension assembly 15 is disposed on the horizontal beam 14. The installation support frame 2 includes an installation base 28 and a left frame 21 and a right frame 22 disposed on the installation base 28. The bottoms of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22 are movably connected to the installation base 28. An adjustment drive assembly 3 is disposed on the installation base 28 to drive the bottoms of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22. The middle position of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22 is connected by a rotating connector 232 to form an X-shaped installation bracket 23. The upper part of the X-shaped installation bracket 23 forms a V-shaped installation groove that can limit the height of the valve 5. Limiting structures that can limit the bottom of the valve 5 are disposed on both sides of the V-shaped installation groove.

[0024] Specifically, the suspension bracket 1 and the mounting support frame 2 work together to suspend and install the valve 5. The suspension bracket 1 is used to suspend the valve 5 and includes a base 11 and a hanger 12 mounted on the base 11. Both the base 11 and the hanger 12 are supported by high-strength steel and have a separate structure. In use, the base 11 is first fixedly installed at the installation position of the valve 5, and then the hanger 12 is fixedly installed on the base 11. The suspension bracket 1 includes a vertical beam 13 and a horizontal beam 14 mounted on top of the vertical beam 13. The vertical beam 13 and the horizontal beam 14 can have a separate structure. The lower end of the crossbeam 14 is fixedly installed on the base 11. The connecting end of the crossbeam 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical beam 13. The other end of the crossbeam 14 is provided with a suspension assembly 15, which includes a winch and a chain lifting device 16. The bottom of the chain lifting device 16 is provided with a fixing connector that can be fixedly connected to the valve 5. The winch is fixedly welded to the crossbeam 14 by high-strength angle steel or channel steel. The chain lifting device 16 includes a chain and a hook. The hook is forged into an arc-shaped hook. The fixing connector is a suspension rope that can fix the valve 5 on the hook. In this way, the valve 5 can be suspended and moved by the winch and the chain lifting device 16.

[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting support frame 2 includes a mounting base 28, a left frame 21, and a right frame 22. The mounting base 28 is a rectangular seat. During use, a pad can be placed on the bottom of the mounting base 28 to ensure a suitable height. The left frame 21 and the right frame 22 are made of high-strength steel and have the same structure. Both the left frame 21 and the right frame 22 include two parallel side beams 24. The tops of the two side beams 24 are connected by an upper connecting rod 25, and the bottoms of the two side beams 24 are connected by a lower connecting rod 26. Thus, the two side beams 24, the upper connecting rod 25, and the lower connecting rod 26 are connected. The lower connecting rod 26 forms a rectangular frame. A rotating connector 232 is provided in the middle of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22. The left frame 21 and the right frame 22 are connected by the rotating connector 232 to form an X-shaped mounting bracket 23. The X-shaped mounting bracket 23 is divided into an upper V-shaped structure and a lower V-shaped structure by the rotating connector 232. That is, the upper part of the left frame 21, the rotating connector 232 and the upper part of the right frame 22 form an upper V-shaped structure. The upper V-shaped structure forms a V-shaped placement groove 231. The size of the V-shaped placement groove 231 corresponds to the size of the valve 5, so that the valve 5 can be placed in the V-shaped placement groove 231.

[0026] In this embodiment, a mounting side plate is provided on the upper part of the left frame 21. The mounting side plate is a high-strength support steel plate. The mounting side plate is welded and fixed together with the side beam 24. The width of the mounting side plate corresponds to the width of the valve 5. A limiting structure 4 is provided on the mounting side plate. The limiting structure 4 can be a limiting side plate. The valve 5 can be fixed by the limiting structure 4, thereby limiting the valve 5 in the V-shaped placement groove 231, thereby preventing the valve 5 from sliding in the V-shaped placement groove 231.

[0027] The valve 5 installation tool provided by this utility model includes a suspension bracket 1 comprising a base 11 and a hanger 12. The hanger 12 includes a vertical beam 13 and a horizontal beam 14 disposed on the top of the vertical beam 13. A suspension assembly 15 is disposed on the horizontal beam 14. The installation support frame 2 includes an installation base 28 and a left frame 21 and a right frame 22 disposed on the installation base 28. An adjustment drive assembly 3 is disposed on the installation base 28 to drive the bottom of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22. The middle positions of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22 are connected by a rotating connector 232. An X-shaped mounting bracket 23 is formed, with a V-shaped mounting groove on the upper part of the X-shaped mounting bracket 23 that can limit the height of the valve 5. Limiting structures that can limit the bottom of the valve 5 are provided on both sides of the V-shaped mounting groove. In use, the suspension bracket 1 is placed at the position where the valve 5 needs to be installed, and the valve 5 can be installed by the suspension component 15. The X-shaped mounting bracket 23 formed by the left frame 21 and the right frame 22 can support the valve 5 and keep the valve 5 at a suitable height, thus facilitating the installation of the valve 5.

[0028] In the preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rotating mounting hole for mounting the rotating connector 232 is provided in the middle position of the side beam 24. The upper half of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22 are provided with supporting side plates 27. The supporting side plates 27 are made of high-strength steel plates. The left frame 21 and the right frame 22 can be rotated by the rotating connector 232. When the bottom of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22 is driven to move closer to each other, the X-shaped mounting bracket 23 becomes higher and the angle of the V-shaped placement groove 231 becomes smaller. Conversely, when the bottom of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22 is driven to move apart from each other, the X-shaped mounting bracket 23 becomes shorter and the angle of the V-shaped placement groove 231 becomes larger.

[0029] In the preferred embodiment provided by this utility model, the adjustment drive assembly 3 includes a rotary adjustment screw 31, on which a first threaded section 311 and a second threaded section 312 are provided. A left movable seat 211 is provided at the bottom of the left frame 21, and the left movable seat 211 is connected to the first threaded section 311. A right movable seat 221 is provided at the bottom of the right frame 22, and the right movable seat 221 is connected to the second threaded section 312. A bearing seat 33 for mounting the rotary adjustment screw 31 is provided on the mounting base 28. The left movable seat 211 and the right movable seat 221 are provided with mounting through holes that match the rotary adjustment screw 31. A ball screw structure is formed between the left movable seat 211 and the rotary adjustment screw 31, and between the right movable seat 221 and the rotary adjustment screw 31. Thus, when the rotary adjustment screw 31 rotates, it can correspondingly drive the left movable seat 211 and the right movable seat 221 to move along the axial direction of the rotary adjustment screw 31.

[0030] When the height of the X-shaped support frame needs to be adjusted to accommodate valves 5 with different pipe diameters, the operator rotates the adjusting screw 31 manually or with a power tool. Since the threads of the first threaded section 311 and the second threaded section 312 are in opposite directions, the left moving seat 211 and the right moving seat 221 move in opposite directions along the adjusting screw 31. For example, when the adjusting screw 31 is rotated clockwise, the left moving seat 211 moves to the left along the first threaded section 311, and the right moving seat 221 moves to the right along the second threaded section 312. As the two moving seats move relative to each other, the bottoms of the connected left frame 21 and right frame 22 move closer together. Because the left frame 21 and right frame 22 are connected by the rotating connector 232 to form an X-shaped support frame structure, the angle of the V-shaped mounting groove gradually decreases as the bottoms move closer together, thus adapting to smaller valves 5. Conversely, when the rotary adjusting screw 31 rotates counterclockwise, the left moving seat 211 and the right moving seat 221 will move in the direction of separation, causing the bottom of the left frame 21 and the right frame 22 to separate and unfold, and the angle of the V-shaped mounting groove will gradually increase, thus adapting to the larger valve 5.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a movable guide component 32 is further included. The left movable seat 211 and the right movable seat 221 are each respectively provided with a movable guide component 32. The movable guide component 32 includes a limiting seat 321 and a connecting post 322. The end of the connecting post 322 is fixedly connected to the bearing seat 33 of the mounting base 28. The left movable seat 211 and the right movable seat 221 are provided with movement through holes for the connecting post 322 to pass through. The limiting seat 321 is arranged parallel to the bearing seat 33, and the two limiting seats 321 are positioned between the two bearing seats 33. The two limiting seats 321 and the two bearing seats 33 are located on the same straight line. The 21 is provided with a through hole through which the rotating adjusting screw 31 passes and can rotate. Each limiting seat 321 is provided with two connecting posts 322. The other end of the connecting post 322 is fixedly connected to the bearing seat 33 of the mounting base 28. The left moving seat 211 and the right moving seat 221 are provided with motion through holes through which the connecting posts 322 pass. That is, the left moving seat 211 and the right moving seat 221 are each provided with two motion through holes. In this way, the bearing seat 33 and the limiting seat 321 form a limiting structure that restricts the movement of the left moving seat 211 and the right moving seat 221. That is, the left moving seat 211 and the right moving seat 221 can only move along the connecting post 322.

[0032] In the embodiments provided by this utility model, the length of the movement stroke of the left moving seat 211 and the right moving seat 221 corresponds to the length of the connecting column 322. Taking the left moving seat 211 as an example, when the left moving seat 211 is driven to move to the left and abuts against the bearing seat 33, the left moving seat 211 cannot continue to move. When the left moving seat 211 moves to the right and abuts against the limiting seat 321, the left moving seat 211 also cannot continue to move. The advantage of this setting is that, in the initial state, the left moving seat 211 can be in the leftmost position, at which time the left moving seat 211 abuts against the bearing seat 33. The right moving seat 221 is in the rightmost position, at which time the right moving seat 221 also contacts the bearing seat. The two bearing seats 33 support the left moving seat 211 and the right moving seat 221 respectively, which can improve the support strength of the X-shaped support frame.

[0033] In another embodiment of this utility model, preferably, the limiting structure 4 includes two limiting plates 41 slidably disposed on the supporting side plate 27. The limiting plates 41 are parallel to the supporting side plate 27 and perpendicularly connected to it. The limiting plates 41 are parallel to the supporting side plate 27. A limiting plate 41 is correspondingly disposed on the inner side of each supporting side plate 27. A placement space for placing the valve body is formed between the two limiting plates 41. An adjusting bolt 42 is disposed on the side beam 24. The adjusting bolt 42 can adjust the distance between the two limiting plates 41 to support the valve 5. For example, when the adjusting bolt 42 rotates toward the limiting plate 41, the two limiting plates 41 can move toward each other, thereby clamping the valve 5. Conversely, when the adjusting bolt 42 rotates in the opposite direction, the pressure of the adjusting bolt 42 on the limiting plate 41 disappears, and the distance between the two limiting plates 41 can be manually increased.

[0034] The height of the limiting plate 41 is greater than the height of the supporting side plate 27. An opening 43 is provided on the side of the two limiting plates 41 that are close to each other. An elastic clamping plate 44 is provided within the opening 43, connected to it by a spring. When the spring is in its initial state, part of the limiting plate 41 is located inside the opening 43, and part is located outside the opening 43. Thus, when clamping and fixing the valve 5, the elastic clamping plate 44 is pressed and retracted into the opening 43 (the spring is in a compressed state). At this time, the limiting plate 41 and the elastic clamping plate 44 together clamp the side of the valve 5, and the spring provides elastic compressive force to the elastic clamping plate 44, thereby improving the clamping and fixing effect on the valve 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the specific steps during operation are as follows:

[0036] The first step is to install the suspension bracket 1 at the position where the valve 5 needs to be installed, and adjust the X-shaped support frame so that the angle of the V-shaped placement groove 231 is appropriate.

[0037] The second step involves suspending the valve 5 using a suspension drive mechanism and a chain lifting device 16, placing the valve 5 on an X-shaped support frame, and adjusting the position of the limiting plate 41 using adjusting bolts 42, so that the two limiting plates 41 and the elastic clamping plate 44 are clamped and fixed on both sides of the valve 5.

[0038] The third step is to install the flange of valve 5. During the installation process, the chain hoist 16 can keep the valve 5 suspended. After the valve 5 is installed, the chain hoist 16 is removed from the valve 5, and the X-shaped support frame is adjusted to reduce the height of the X-shaped support frame and separate the X-shaped support frame from the valve 5.

[0039] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
