[0032] Valve switching tools are important equipment used to assist valve operation. Related technologies include, for example... Figure 6 As shown, valve switching tools are mostly T-shaped valve inserts 200 in structure. The T-shaped valve insert 200 includes a valve stem 210 at the top, a connector 220 at the bottom, and a connecting rod 230 connecting the valve stem 210 and the connector 220. However, in scenarios involving vibration or swaying, such as ship navigation, the T-shaped valve insert 200 does not fit tightly with the mounting bracket, resulting in insufficient stability and a tendency to shift, loosen, or even detach. Furthermore, in related technologies, the mounting bracket often relies on bolts to secure the valve insert 200, requiring frequent tightening and loosening of the bolts for each operation, which is inconvenient.
[0033] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the marine valve insert 200 fixing bracket proposed in this utility model includes a mounting bracket 100. A limiting component 120 is provided at the top of the mounting bracket 100, and a first limiting groove 110 is provided at the bottom of the mounting bracket 100. One end of the first limiting groove 110 has an opening in the horizontal direction and is U-shaped to allow the bottom of the valve insert 200 to enter. The bottom of the valve insert 200 is inserted into the first limiting groove 110, and the top of the valve insert 200 is inserted into the limiting component 120. Through the cooperation of the limiting component 120 and the first limiting groove 110, a double limiting structure is formed, thereby improving the connection stability between the valve insert 200 and the mounting bracket 100 and effectively preventing displacement or loosening of the valve insert 200 during ship navigation vibrations or rocking. Furthermore, when the valve insert 200 needs to be retrieved, no complicated disassembly operation is required; the valve insert 200 can simply be pulled out horizontally from the opening, quickly completing the retrieval of the valve insert 200 and significantly improving the convenience of operation.
[0034] Specifically, in some embodiments of this utility model, the plug 220 at the bottom of the valve insert 200 has a U-shaped structure. The plug 220 or the connecting rod 230 is inserted into the first limiting groove 110, and the valve stem 210 is inserted into the limiting component 120. The valve insert 200 forms a bottom limit with the first limiting groove 110 through the plug 220 or the connecting rod 230 at the bottom, and can also achieve top support and fixation through the insertion of the valve stem 210 and the limiting component 120, effectively limiting the radial displacement and circumferential rotation of the valve insert 200, and effectively preventing the valve insert 200 from displacing or loosening when the ship is sailing and vibrating or rocking.
[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are multiple limiting components 120 and multiple first limiting grooves 110. The multiple limiting components 120 are arranged at intervals along the length of the mounting bracket 100. Each limiting component 120 corresponds to a first limiting groove 110, that is, a first limiting groove 110 is provided directly below or at a corresponding position of each limiting component 120. Depending on the actual application scenario and requirements, the number of limiting components 120 and limiting grooves can be flexibly adjusted to one or more to flexibly adapt to the fixing requirements of various valve inserts 200.
[0036] Furthermore, the limiting component 120 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket 100 via the connector 121. The connector 121 is vertically arranged on the top of the mounting bracket 100, providing stable support for the limiting component 120. The limiting component 120 includes two U-shaped parts, which are spaced apart along the length of the connector 121. The opening directions of the two U-shaped parts of the U-shaped limiting component are consistent and the same size. The two U-shaped parts can effectively limit the radial sway and circumferential rotation of the valve stem 210, providing stable support for the valve insert 200.
[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the limiting component 120 is a U-shaped limiting groove. The width and depth of the U-shaped limiting groove are adapted to the diameter or cross-sectional dimensions of the valve stem 210. The U-shaped limiting groove effectively restricts the radial wobble and circumferential rotation of the valve stem 210, providing stable support for the valve insert 200. The open structure of the U-shaped limiting groove facilitates the quick insertion and removal of the valve stem 210. During installation or maintenance, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire limiting component 120; simply remove the valve stem 210 from the groove, significantly improving operational efficiency.
[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the limiting component 120 is made of round steel with a diameter of A, where 5mm ≤ A ≤ 15mm. This diameter range avoids both insufficient strength due to an excessively small diameter and material waste and structural redundancy due to an excessively large diameter. It is understandable that the diameter of the limiting component 120 could be 10mm; a 10mm diameter round steel bar provides sufficient resistance to deformation, ensuring stability during long-term use.
[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the mounting frame 100 includes a first crossbeam 130, a support column 150, and a second crossbeam 140 connected in sequence. The first crossbeam 130 is located at the top of the mounting frame 100, and the second crossbeam 140 is located at the bottom of the mounting frame 100. A limiting component 120 is fixedly connected to the first crossbeam 130, and a first limiting groove 110 is provided in the second crossbeam 140. It should be noted that the first limiting groove 110 has a U-shaped structure. The first limiting groove 110 is CNC-cut from an 8 mm thick steel plate and is fixedly connected to the second crossbeam 140.
[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, there are multiple support columns 150, which are spaced apart along the length of the mounting frame 100. Specifically, the support column 150 has an L-shaped cross-section, and there are two support columns 150. The two support columns 150 are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the mounting base, which can provide uniform support, improve the stability of the support, and effectively prevent the mounting frame 100 from shifting or loosening when the ship vibrates or rocks during navigation.
[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second crossbeam 140 is fixedly provided with an extension 160, and the first crossbeam 130 is also provided with an extension 160. The extension 160 is made of angle steel. One end of the extension 160 is fixedly connected to a triangular fixing plate. The extension 160 is located on the side of the second crossbeam 140 opposite to the first limiting groove 110 and extends along the side opposite to the opening. The extension 160 is used to fix to the hull. The triangular fixing plate fits against the hull, increasing the fixing contact area and providing stable support for the mounting frame 100. There are four extensions 160, which are located at the four corners of the mounting frame 100. This layout allows the fixing force between the mounting frame 100 and the hull to be distributed more evenly, forming a stable pull on the mounting frame 100 from the four corners, effectively resisting the forces that the mounting frame 100 may be subjected to in various directions during operation, and further improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the mounting frame 100 and the hull.
[0042] In marine environments, equipment is susceptible to corrosion from seawater, humid air, and corrosive media. Therefore, in some embodiments of this invention, the surface of the mounting bracket 100 is coated with an anti-corrosion coating. The anti-corrosion coating can be a metallic coating or a non-metallic coating. Metallic coatings can be zinc plating, electroplating, aluminum plating, nickel plating, etc., while non-metallic coatings can be epoxy resin paint, polyurethane paint, zinc-rich primer, etc. The anti-corrosion coating forms a dense protective film on the surface of the mounting bracket 100, reducing the contact between the mounting bracket 100 and corrosive media such as moisture, oxygen, and salt spray, slowing down or preventing corrosion and extending the service life of the mounting bracket 100.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 is made of angle steel and has an L-shaped cross section. The L-shaped structure provides high structural strength and stability for the overall device. Especially when subjected to vertical or horizontal loads, the mechanical properties of the angle steel can effectively disperse stress and prevent the mounting bracket 100 from bending or deforming.
[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the angle steel is model L75x75x6. This type of angle steel has an L-shaped cross-section, consisting of two mutually perpendicular flanges. That is, the thickness of the mounting bracket 100 is B, where B = 6mm, and the width of both sides of the mounting bracket 100 is C, where C = 75mm. The 6mm thickness ensures that the mounting bracket 100 has sufficient structural strength and rigidity, making it less prone to bending or deformation when bearing loads such as the valve insert 200 and the limiting component 120, as well as coping with vibrations and impacts in the marine environment. The 75mm width of both sides provides ample installation space for the mounting bracket 100.
[0045] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
