Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packing gland technology, specifically a packing gland for valve bodies. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of fluid control, the valve body is a key component for controlling the flow and flow of fluid. Its sealing performance directly affects the operational stability and safety of the entire fluid system. The packing gland is an important part of the valve body sealing structure.

[0003] A search revealed a patent, CN205173690U, which discloses a packing gland for a valve body. The gland has slots at both ends, with mounting holes within each slot. The slots have a heart-shaped cross-section, including a first arc surface, a second arc surface, and rounded corners on both sides of the second arc surface. The center of the second arc surface is concentric with the center of the gland hole, and the difference between the radius of the second arc surface and the radius of the bushing is greater than 5mm. The first and second arc surfaces face each other. The mounting holes are located within the slots of the gland body. The cavity within the slots serves as a mounting cavity for bolts or screws, separate from the bushing and unaffected. The arc design of each surface of the slot reduces stress concentration between the two contact surfaces. The radius of the second arc surface is larger than the radius of the bushing, ensuring that the mounting holes, even after prolonged wear from bolts or screws, will not affect the bushing. The bushing can be reused simply by repairing the mounting holes, thus improving the overall service life and stability of the packing gland.

[0004] The aforementioned patents have significant beneficial effects, but in practical application, they still have the following shortcomings:

[0005] In reality, the packing gland on the valve body plays a crucial role in sealing. When the sealing effect of the packing gland decreases, it needs to be replaced. However, since the packing gland is fitted onto the side of the valve body shaft and there is a connecting piece between the valve body and the shaft, the connecting piece needs to be disassembled before the packing gland can be removed and replaced. This is inconvenient for replacing the packing gland on the valve body. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field to improve the packing gland to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0030] 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.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please see Figures 1-6 A packing gland for a valve body comprises two symmetrical first cover bodies 1 and second cover bodies 3, with matching first bushings 2 and second bushings 4 fixedly mounted on their sides respectively; it also includes two connectors 5 for connecting the first cover bodies 1 and second cover bodies 3 and the first bushings 2 and second bushings 4, with insertion limiting grooves 6 adapted to the connectors 5 on opposite sides of the first cover bodies 1 and first bushings 2 and the second cover bodies 3 and second bushings 4. Both sides of the two bushings 4 are provided with limiting rings 7 for limiting the connecting parts 5. The limiting rings 7 are provided with fastening bolts 8 for connection and fixation. The first cover 1 and the second cover 3 are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves 9 on one side. The snap-fit ​​grooves 9 are adapted to the limiting rings 7. The limiting rings 7 are provided with several first countersunk holes 14. The first countersunk holes 14 are adapted to the fastening bolts 8. The first cover 1 and the second cover 3 are provided with second countersunk holes 15. The second countersunk holes 15 are located on the opposite end sides of the first cover 1 and the second cover 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the specific implementation is as follows: When installing the packing gland on the valve body, firstly, two limiting rings 7 are fitted onto the side of the valve body shaft. The first cover 1 and the second cover 3, as well as the first bushing 2 and the second bushing 4, are snapped onto the side of the valve body shaft, positioned between the two limiting rings 7, and their adjacent insertion limiting grooves 6 are aligned. The connector 5 is then inserted into the two adjacent insertion limiting grooves 6, with the sides of the connector 5 wider than its central position, thus connecting the two first covers 1 and the second cover 3, as well as the first bushing 2 and the second bushing 4. One limiting ring 7 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 9, and another limiting ring 7 is tightly attached to the side of the first bushing 2 and the second bushing 4. Several fastening bolts 8 are then inserted through the first... A countersunk hole 14 is threaded into the inner wall of the first bushing 2, the second bushing 4, or the snap-fit ​​groove 9 to connect and fix the first cover 1, the second cover 3, the first bushing 2, and the second bushing 4. When the packing gland needs to be replaced later, the fastening bolt 8 is removed, and the connector 5 located in the insertion limiting groove 6 is taken out. The first cover 1, the first bushing 2, the second cover 3, and the second bushing 4 can then be disassembled on the side of the valve body shaft. The new first cover 1, the first bushing 2, the second cover 3, and the second bushing 4 are snapped onto the side of the valve body shaft. This allows the packing gland to be replaced without disassembling the connecting parts on the valve body shaft, making it easier to replace the packing gland on the valve body later.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Please see Figures 2-6 This embodiment includes the above embodiment, and further includes: a plurality of first positioning posts 10 are fixedly installed on one side of the limiting ring 7; a plurality of first positioning grooves 11 adapted to the first positioning posts 10 are opened on the inner sidewalls of the first bushing 2, the second bushing 4 and the snap-fit ​​groove 9; the first positioning post 10 is frustum-shaped and its end near the limiting ring 7 is larger than its end away from the limiting ring 7; a plurality of second positioning posts 12 are fixedly connected to one side of the limiting ring 7; a second positioning groove 13 adapted to the second positioning post 12 is opened on both ends of the connector 5; the second positioning post 12 is frustum-shaped and its end near the limiting ring 7 is larger than its end away from the limiting ring 7; and reinforcing ribs 16 are fixedly installed between the first cover 1 and the first bushing 2 and between the second cover 3 and the second bushing 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first positioning post 10 and the second positioning post 12 on one side of the limiting ring 7 are respectively engaged in the corresponding first positioning groove 11 and the second positioning groove 13. The first positioning post 10 and the second positioning post 12 are both frustum-shaped and are locked with fastening bolts 8. This reduces the gap between the two connecting parts 5, the first cover 1 and the second cover 3, and the first bushing 2 and the second bushing 4, improving the stability and sealing between the first cover 1 and the second cover 3, and the first bushing 2 and the second bushing 4. The reinforcing ribs 16 enhance the connection strength between the first cover 1 and the first bushing 2, and the second cover 3 and the second bushing 4. In practice, sealing components such as sealing rings can be embedded in the positions of the first cover 1, the first bushing 2, the second cover 3, or the second bushing 4, depending on the actual situation.
