Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, specifically a high-temperature resistant intelligent butterfly valve. Background Technology
[0002] A butterfly valve is a type of valve that uses a rotating circular disc to open, close, and regulate the flow of media in a pipeline. It is widely used in industrial and civil applications. Butterfly valves offer significant advantages. First, they are compact, small in size, and lightweight, requiring minimal space during installation and reducing the overall load on the pipeline system, making them particularly suitable for space-constrained environments. Second, they open and close rapidly, requiring only a 90° rotation to go from fully open to fully closed, quickly cutting off or connecting the flow of media and improving production efficiency. Third, they have low fluid resistance and low energy loss, helping to reduce system operating costs. Furthermore, butterfly valves possess excellent flow regulation capabilities; by controlling the rotation angle of the disc, the flow rate of the media can be precisely adjusted to meet different process requirements. In terms of application areas, butterfly valves cover multiple industries including water treatment, heating, air conditioning, power, petrochemicals, and natural gas.
[0003] However, when existing butterfly valves are used in high-temperature environments, heat is easily conducted to the drive motor, affecting the motor's service life; moreover, existing butterfly valves have a low level of intelligence, making it inconvenient to accurately adjust the opening and closing angle of the valve plate.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4This embodiment of a high-temperature resistant intelligent butterfly valve is characterized by: a valve body 1, an upper valve stem 2 rotatably connected to the top of the valve body 1, a lower valve stem 3 rotatably connected to the bottom of the valve body 1, a valve plate 4 detachably connected between the upper valve stem 2 and the lower valve stem 3, an upper mounting bracket 6 fixedly connected to the outer side of the top of the valve body 1, a drive motor 7 fixedly connected to the top of the upper mounting bracket 6, and a connecting mechanism 8 provided between the rotating shaft of the drive motor 7 and the top end of the upper valve stem 2 for connecting the rotating shaft of the drive motor 7 and the upper valve stem 2. The connecting mechanism 8 includes an upper connecting sleeve 80. 1. The upper connecting sleeve 801 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the drive motor 7, and the lower connecting sleeve 802 is fixedly connected to the top end of the upper valve stem 2. A pair of flanges 803 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the opposite ends of the upper connecting sleeve 801 and the lower connecting sleeve 802. Several bolt assemblies 804 are evenly threaded around the axis of the upper connecting sleeve 801 between the pair of flanges 803. The upper valve stem 2, the lower valve stem 3 and the shaft of the drive motor 7 are coaxially arranged. Several heat dissipation fins 10 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the upper valve stem 2 and the lower valve stem 3. When the butterfly valve is opened, the drive motor 7 drives the upper connecting sleeve 801 connected to it to start rotating. When the upper connecting sleeve 801 rotates, it drives the flange 803 and the bolt assembly 804 connecting the flange 803 to start rotating, causing the lower connecting sleeve 802 and the upper valve stem 2 to rotate accordingly. When the upper valve stem 2 rotates, it drives the valve plate 4 to start rotating, causing the high-temperature fluid in the valve body 1 to start flowing. By setting the bolt assembly 804, the contact area between the upper valve stem 2 and the shaft of the drive motor 7 can be reduced, thereby reducing the heat transfer efficiency between the upper valve stem 2 and the drive motor 7 and preventing the drive motor 7 from having a reduced service life due to excessive temperature. At the same time, the heat dissipation fins 10 can increase the contact area between the upper valve stem 2 and the lower valve stem 3 and the air, improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and thus improve the high temperature resistance of the butterfly valve.
[0024] Please see Figure 2-3A lower mounting bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the valve body 1. An angle adjustment mechanism 9 is provided at the bottom of the lower mounting bracket 5 to precisely limit the opening and closing angle of the valve plate 4. The angle adjustment mechanism 9 includes a sector plate 901, which is coaxially arranged with the lower valve rod 3. Several limiting holes 902 are evenly opened on the edge of the sector plate 901. An outer ring 903 is sleeved on the bottom outer side of the lower valve rod 3. A rotating rod 904 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer ring 903. A miniature electric cylinder 905 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod 904 facing the sector plate 901. The diameter and position of the miniature electric cylinder 905 match the limiting holes 902. When the valve plate 4 rotates, it drives the lower valve rod 3 at its bottom to rotate as well. When the lower valve rod 3 rotates, it drives the outer ring 903 and the rotating rod 904 at its bottom end to rotate around the lower valve rod 3, causing the miniature electric cylinder 905 at the other end of the rotating rod 904 to move accordingly. When the valve plate 4 rotates to the required angle, the miniature electric cylinder 905 stops moving. At this time, the miniature electric cylinder 905 drives the piston rod to extend to the limiting hole 902 on the edge of the top fan-shaped plate 901, limiting and fixing the lower valve rod 3 and the valve plate 4, realizing the precise limiting of the angle of the valve plate 4, and thus realizing the precise adjustment of the fluid flow rate in the valve body 1.
[0025] Please see Figure 6 A pair of arc-shaped baffles 12 are diagonally arranged around the valve stem 2 on the inner side wall of the valve body 1. Elastic sealing strips 13 are fixedly connected to the opposing side walls of the arc-shaped baffles 12. When the butterfly valve is closed, the miniature electric cylinder 905 resets, and the drive motor 7 drives the valve plate 4 to reset until the two sides of the valve plate 4 abut against the elastic sealing strips 13 on the side walls of the arc-shaped baffles 12. The elastic sealing strips 13 ensure elastic contact between the valve plate 4 and the valve body 1, improving the sealing performance of the valve plate 4 when closed.
[0026] Please see Figure 5 The side wall of the valve plate 4 is fixedly connected with several reinforcing ribs 11. By setting the reinforcing ribs 11, the strength of the valve plate 4 can be improved, and the valve plate 4 can be prevented from deforming under the impact of fluid.
[0027] Working principle: When the butterfly valve is opened, the drive motor 7 drives the upper connecting sleeve 801 to rotate. The rotation of the upper connecting sleeve 801 causes the flange 803 and the bolt assembly 804 connecting the flange 803 to rotate, causing the lower connecting sleeve 802 and the upper valve stem 2 to rotate accordingly. The rotation of the upper valve stem 2 causes the valve plate 4 to rotate, allowing the high-temperature fluid inside the valve body 1 to flow. The bolt assembly 804 reduces the contact area between the upper valve stem 2 and the drive motor 7 shaft, thereby reducing the heat transfer efficiency between them and preventing the drive motor 7 from overheating and reducing its lifespan. Simultaneously, the heat dissipation fins 10 increase the contact area between the upper valve stem 2 and the lower valve stem 3 and the air, improving heat dissipation efficiency and thus enhancing the butterfly valve's high-temperature resistance. The rotation of the valve plate 4 drives the lower valve stem at its bottom. As the lower valve stem 3 rotates, the outer sleeve 903 and the rotating rod 904 at its bottom end begin to rotate around the lower valve stem 3, causing the miniature electric cylinder 905 at the other end of the rotating rod 904 to move accordingly. When the valve plate 4 rotates to the required angle, the miniature electric cylinder 905 stops moving. At this time, the miniature electric cylinder 905 drives the piston rod to extend to the limiting hole 902 on the edge of the top fan-shaped plate 901, limiting and fixing the lower valve stem 3 and the valve plate 4, realizing precise limiting of the angle of the valve plate 4, and thus realizing precise adjustment of the fluid flow rate in the valve body 1. When the butterfly valve is closed, the miniature electric cylinder 905 resets, and the drive motor 7 drives the valve plate 4 to reset until the two sides of the valve plate 4 abut against the elastic sealing strip 13 on the side wall of the arc-shaped baffle 12. The elastic sealing strip 13 can keep the valve plate 4 in elastic contact with the valve body 1, improving the sealing performance of the valve plate 4 when closed.
