1 TARIFF A flap check valve with a bottom drain cover system. TECHNICAL FIELD The invention reduces performance losses in sealing elements due to deformation and wear. Teflon, which eliminates the need for on-site replacement of sealing elements. Featuring a supported leaf-type sealing element and a bottom drain cover system integrated with a smart screw. It relates to flap check valves. The invention specifically addresses wear of sealing elements used in industrial fluid lines, 10 to eliminate efficiency losses caused by maintenance difficulties and system downtime This relates to flap check valves that include a bottom drain flap system developed for this purpose. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Check valves prevent backflow in industrial fluid lines and ensure fluid flow in the system. These are critical components widely used to provide one-way flow in one direction. Existing In these systems, these valves operate mechanically depending on pressure, temperature, and fluid properties. It operates under stress. Over time, deformation of the sealing elements, body-cover Effects such as torque losses in connections and decreased elasticity in seals, 20 This causes a decrease in valve performance, especially with high-pressure or chemically aggressive applications. Elastomer-based seals used in these environments wear out quickly and lose their sealing properties. It loses power. In this case, the valve's inability to close completely leads to backflow and significant efficiency loss in the system. This leads to losses. Additionally, gasket replacement or cleaning operations are performed on existing valves. If required, it is usually necessary to remove the entire valve body from the line. This process takes 25 hours at the facility. Because it requires halting production, it disrupts continuity and increases labor and maintenance costs. Loosening of fasteners in traditional designs is a common problem in vibrating environments. Another problem is that loose bolts or nuts leave microscopic marks on sealing surfaces. This leads to leaks, which in turn cause corrosion and material fatigue. Technical deficiencies affect not only mechanical efficiency but also environmental safety. 30 Negative effects. Chemical or pressurized fluid leaks, especially in the energy and petrochemical industries. This creates serious safety risks in the lines. In short, in traditional flap check valves, leakage... Replacing the seals requires disassembling the entire valve body, including any parts connected to it. This This process leads to both a waste of time and operational risks. Furthermore, classic elastomer-based methods... Under high pressure and temperature, the seals deform and quickly lose performance. 35 It leads to loss. 2 In the current state of technology, sealing elements are designed to be more durable. to be manufactured from materials and to develop structural solutions that will facilitate maintenance There have been various attempts in this direction. However, most of these solutions involve a fully integrated valve system. It cannot offer a maintenance mechanism or long-lasting sealing performance. Especially 5 Lack of evacuation and access systems required for on-site maintenance, maintenance This leads to longer lead times and a decrease in operational efficiency. Furthermore... Traditional gasket materials are insufficient in terms of low friction and chemical resistance. This causes deformation during high-frequency opening and closing cycles, shortening the valve's lifespan. In addition, standard screw systems used in bolted connections withstand continuous vibration for 10 minutes. Because they are susceptible to loosening, they lose connection strength over time. This also affects the system. This negatively affects pressure resistance, increasing the risk of leakage. Therefore, in the current technology, a flap valve is used. Check valves have significant limitations in terms of both sealing life and maintenance ergonomics. It is located. In the current state of the art, sealing elements wear out over time and maintenance processes... Due to these difficulties, significant losses in system efficiency can occur. In classical systems... Replacing the gasket requires completely disassembling the valve, which leads to a loss of labor and time. It opens. Additionally, torque losses and deformation problems are frequently observed in bolted connections. This This situation increases security risks and raises operational costs for businesses, especially in the 20s. Leaks in chemical plants pose an environmental hazard. To solve these problems, we need more robust solutions. New systems are needed that provide materials and on-site maintenance capabilities. Patent document US6662779B2 describes the support structure of a butterfly valve stem. An improved system is considered. The invention involves a bearing 25° along the axis of rotation of the valve stem. In a butterfly valve assembly supported by a duct, the actuator is connected to into a valve opening sensor located somewhere between the first end and the other end of the valve stem via an integrated return spring, it will prevent the valve stem from vibrating freely within the bearing. This ensures the continuous application of an elastic force. In this way, it is particularly suitable for vibrating environments. Vibration-induced noises such as "ringing" that occurs in the valve stem under operating conditions 30 Problems are eliminated, and the system is simple even if there is a return spring inside the actuator. It can be held.

By preventing this, it prevents the actuator from overheating and failing prematurely. Patent document US20100236650A1 describes a combined valve assembly; this 5 The system houses both the butterfly valve and the check valve elements under the same housing. It involves the integration of a butterfly wheel within a flow path. While controlling the flow by rotating it, a flapper-type check valve located at the outlet end prevents backflow. It offers a structure that is integrated in a way that will enable it to prevent leakage. This allows for flow control and... Leak prevention functions are integrated into a single valve body without requiring separate installations. They can be combined.

Furthermore, these valves require maintenance or When a gasket replacement is necessary, it is usually required to remove the entire valve body from the line. This is mandatory. This situation leads to production line shutdowns, especially in energy, petrochemical and water treatment plants. This leads to production interruptions and high maintenance costs. In some known systems... Spring-supported shaft structures or torsion spring preloaded shafts to increase sealing. Although various mechanisms have been used, these solutions are generally aimed at increasing shaft stability, inadequate in extending the life of sealing surfaces and facilitating on-site maintenance. In addition, in current check valve designs, the vibration of the connecting screws is 25. Loosening underneath leads to micro-leaks in the sealing surfaces and the lid under pressure. This leads to deformations. In some advanced systems, a dual system is integrated into the fuselage. Although functional valves or spring mechanisms are present, these structures require maintenance access. It is limited in this respect and does not allow for controlled release of the fluid inside the valve. Ultimately, the problems mentioned above, which cannot be solved with the current technology, are related to the technical aspects. This has made it necessary to make an innovation in the field.
