Description

Gate Valve with Excellent Fluid Sealability {GATE VALVE}

The present invention relates to a gate valve (GATE VALVE) is connected between the fluid pipe to open and close the flow of the fluid as needed, more specifically, the valve is in close contact with the lifting knife plate for sealing the fluid of the gate valve The present invention relates to a gate valve having excellent fluid sealing property as well as preventing seat wear, and in particular, preventing foreign matter or powder in the fluid from accumulating in the housing toward the lower end side of the knife plate to improve the fluid sealing property of the gate valve.

Commonly known gate valve (KNIFE GATE VALVE) is a valve that is connected between the fluid pipe to open and close the flow of the fluid flowing in the fluid pipe as a knife plate moving up and down according to the operation, the operation of the knife plate usually It is also called a knife-type gate valve because the opening and closing of the fluid is performed. Such a knife-type gate valve allows the rising and falling knife plate to be in close contact with the valve seat installed in the valve housing to flow or block the flow of the fluid. It is usually used to control the flow of high-viscosity fluids or powders, such as a mixture of fluids and other substances, or a jelly-like fluid, Figures 1 and 2 show such a general gate valve Doing.

That is, as shown in Figure 1 and 2, the knife plate 130 connected to the lower side of the moving rod 120 to move in the operation of the operation handle 110 is installed to move vertically in the valve housing 140, The valve seat 150 is fixed as a fixing ring 160 that is bolted to the valve housing 140 under the opening 140a formed at the center of the valve housing 140, and a guide ring 170 on the opposite side thereof. This bolt is coupled, the knife plate 130 is in close contact with the valve seat 150 as protrusions 144 formed at intervals of about 120 degrees on the machining surface 142 below the housing opening 140a shown in FIG. 2. .

Accordingly, as the steering wheel 110, which is one of driving means such as a cylinder and a driving motor, is rotated, the knife plate 130 moves vertically in the valve housing 140 and thus comes into close contact with the valve seat 150 when descending. The flow of fluid through the opening 140a is blocked or opened.

However, as shown in FIG. 3, in the general gate valve 100 which controls the flow of the fluid only by the close contact between the integrated valve seat 150 and the knife plate 130, the operation handle (the driving means) The end of the knife plate 130 which is lowered by the operation of 110 is lowered while contacting the valve seat 150, on the contrary, as the valve 100 is raised, when the valve 100 is opened, the friction sheet is brought into considerable contact with the valve seat 150 again. As a result, the valve seat 150 is easily worn, which in turn causes fluid leakage and shortens the life of the gate valve 100.

Therefore, another conventional gate valve 200 for preventing such a valve seat 150 of the gate valve is disclosed in the patent application 10-2000-28316 filed by the present applicant, in FIG. The operating state is shown.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the hollow valve seat 250 is fixed as the seat ring 280 between the fixing rings 260 fixed to the valve housing 240, and the seat ring 280 is fixed. While the air is supplied through the air passage A formed in the ring 260, the valve seat 250 is expanded or contracted to minimize the abrasion caused by friction between the knife plate 230 and the valve seat 250 that rise and fall. will be.

However, in the general gate valve 100 shown in FIG. 3 and another conventional gate valve 200 shown in FIG. 4, the knife plates 130 and 230 are lowered to form the valve seats 150 and 250. While close contact allows fluid to be sealed, the housing processing surfaces 142 and 242 where the protrusions 144 and 244 are formed have a concave stepped portion compared to the opposite side where the valve seats 150 and 250 are mounted (Fig. 3 and S) of FIG. 4 are formed.

Therefore, in the stepped portion S, foreign matter contained in the fluid or in particular, in the case of the fluid is accumulated, it is fixed in the stepped portion.

Furthermore, even if the knife plate 130, 230 is lowered by the foreign matter or powder piled up and fixed on the stepped portions of the fixing rings 160 and 260 and the valve seat 150 and 250, the valve seat 150 ( As the close contact with 250 becomes difficult, there is a problem that complete fluid shutoff of the gate valves 100 and 200 cannot be achieved.

As a result, the complete fluid opening and closing of the conventional gate valve 100 and 200 becomes difficult, resulting in a malfunction of the gate valve, which causes a serious problem of degrading product reliability.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to improve the above-mentioned various problems. The first object is to minimize the wear of the valve seat, and in particular, that foreign matter or powder of fluid accumulates between the knife plate and the lower valve seat. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gate valve having excellent fluid sealing properties that can be effectively prevented.

It is seen that 30b is fixed, and according to FIG. 9, the second valve seat 30b can be easily attached and detached from the gate valve 1 of the present invention.

Next, FIG. 10 illustrates a fixed state of the first valve seat 30a. The valve seat 30a is determined on one side of the knife plate 10, that is, one side surface 10a determined according to the flow direction of the fluid. In contact with the second valve seat 30b described above, its head is fixed at right angles.

That is, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the lower portion (60b) of the fixing ring 60, the second backup ring (50b) is fixed to the bolt (B) in the inner side of the housing 20, the bolt ( B) is fixed. At this time, before the lower portion of the fixing ring 60b is fixed, firstly, the first backup ring 50a having the contact surface that is actually inclined with the second backup ring 50b is first surrounded by the first valve seat. Fixing the first seat ring (40a) having a head portion (H1) is wrapped (30a), the first seat ring (40a) through the first backup ring (50a) is the upper portion of the fixed ring (60) It can be seen that the first valve seat 30a is fixed to and detached like the second valve seat 30b by being fixed as the bolt B passing through 60a).

That is, the first and second valve seats 30a and 30b of the present invention are simply assembled at the time of assembling the actual valve, and can be easily disassembled when necessary, so that they are easy to use.

Next, FIG. 11 shows a fixing ring 60 according to the present invention. The fixing ring 60 is divided into an upper portion 60a and a lower portion 60b from the front, but the seat ring 40 and the backup ring. It is an integral ring structure that is not separated like 50, but fixed to the outside of the housing of the valve 1.

However, such a fixing ring 60 is fixed to the first backup ring (50a) in the upper portion, the second backup ring (50b) in the lower portion to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the valve as a whole.

Next, FIG. 12 illustrates the second backup ring 50b of the gate valve 1 of the present invention in detail. As shown in FIG. 12B, the second backup ring 50b is formed at an angle of more than a semicircle. As described above, the second valve seat 30b must be in close contact with the bottom edge surface 10b of the knife plate 10.

Next, FIG. 13 illustrates a first backup ring 50a. The first backup ring 50a is formed in an L shape so that the first seat ring 40a may be seated and fixed inward. As illustrated in FIG. 12, the first backup ring 50a is formed in an arc shape at an angle smaller than that of the semicircle in contact with the second backup ring 50b.

Next, FIGS. 14 and 15 show a second seat ring 40b and a first seat ring 40a, and the features of the second and first seat rings 40b and 40a are outlined, respectively. When the air seat A is supplied while the valve seats 30b and 30a are wrapped, the head portions H1 and H2 are formed integrally to expand the valve seat 30b.

14, 15, and 7, the second and first seat rings 40b and 40a supply air A, which is a feature of the present invention, to provide the second and first valve seats ( Air passages A2 and A1 for inflating 30b and 30a are integrally formed. The air passages A2 and A1 are formed in the lower portion of the housing 20 which fixes the seat rings 40. It penetrates through the 20b, the 1st backup ring 50a, and the upper part 20a of the housing 20 integrally.

In addition, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the air passage (A1) (A2) as described above, the supply pipe connected from the air supply unit (U) mounted on the upper sleeve 14 side of the valve (1) (C) is connected as a nipple (N), and although not shown in detail in the drawing, the unit (U) is operated electronically to supply air (A) for rapid air supply according to the operation of the gate valve (1). The solenoid valve to control the

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, an important feature of the present invention is that the housing 20, the backup ring 50, and the fixing ring are prevented from accumulating foreign matter or powder in the fluid opening 22 through which the actual fluid flows. The fluid opening 22 formed by the inner circumferential surface of 60 should be formed as a flat surface.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 7, the first and second valve seats 30a and 30b are disposed between the first and second seat rings 40a and 40b to expand as supplied air A. FIG. It is formed of a rubber sheet wrapped in the head (H1) (H2) of the first and second seat rings 40 to form the hollow portion (32a) (32b).

And, as shown in Figure 7, between the fixing ring upper portion (60a) and the housing 20, the upper portion (20a) of the sealing to prevent the leakage of air (A) supplied through the first air passage (A1) ( 70) is configured to be mounted.

In this case, reference numerals h and h ', which are not described, are angular bolt through holes and thread grooves, and A denotes air to be injected.

Referring to the operation of the first gate valve 1 of the present invention having the above configuration in detail as follows.

In FIG. 7, the overall configuration of the first gate valve 1 according to the present invention is illustrated, and the operation of the first gate valve 1 according to the present invention will be described as follows. The second shown in FIG. 16 is as follows. The gate valve 1 'and the first gate valve 1 shown in FIG. 7 are a bidirectional gate valve 1' irrespective of which direction the fluid flows and a one-way gate valve 1 having a constant flow direction of the fluid. Since the operation according to the basic configuration is the same as the one-way gate valve 1 or the two-way gate valve 1 ', the operation of the one-way gate valve 1 will be described.

5 and 6, first, the appearance and overall configuration of the first gate valve (1) is shown, the gate valve (1) is connected between the fluid pipe (not shown), the worker manually if necessary As in the present invention, by rotating the operation handle 12 to lower or raise the knife plate 10, the flow of fluid is normally blocked when the knife plate 10 is lowered, the valve when the knife plate 10 is raised The fluid opening 22 of (1) is opened, and fluid flows, The cylinder 12 or the motor-driven type not shown in the figure which installs the handle 12 which is operated manually by an operator according to the frequency of flowing or blocking a fluid, etc. In order to manipulate the vertical movement of the knife plate 10, in the fluid pipe in which the opening and closing operation of the valve is frequently variable it is installed to operate in the cylinder or motor drive type It would be preferable.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, when the knife plate 10 starts to descend in the initial rising position, the first valve seat 30a in close contact with the one side surface 10a of the knife plate 10 is not expanded. While not in the initial state, when the lowering of the knife plate 10 is completed, it is expanded as air (A) supplied to close the adhesiveness with the knife plate 10 to increase the fluid tightness.

As a result, when the knife plate 10 moves, the first valve seat 30a sealing the side surface 10a of the knife plate 10 is cut off from the supply of air, and the side surface of the knife plate 10 is minutely spaced. After being spaced apart, it is to eliminate the time to be expanded and rubbed by the supply of air (A) at the time when the lowering of the knife plate 10 is completed.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the second valve seat 30b, which is in close contact with the bottom edge surface 10b of the knife plate 10 and substantially affects the fluid tightness, also has the knife plate 10. When the edge surface 10b is brought into close contact with the upper surface of the second valve seat 30b, the air A is supplied to close the contact state between the knife plate 10 and the second valve seat 30b. In particular, as shown in Figure 9 so that the lower end of the knife plate 10 is closely seated on the second valve seat (30b), the valve contact portion is formed with a diameter smaller than the width of the knife plate 10 It would be desirable to have one.

Accordingly, the side surface 10a and the bottom edge surface 10b of the knife plate 10 are tightly blocked by the fluid while expanding as needed by the first and second valve seats 30a and 30b, thereby providing a fluid tightness. To increase.

By the way, the second valve seat (30b) in close contact with the lower edge surface (10b) of the knife plate 10 as in the present invention to make the fluid opening 22 is a flat surface when viewed in cross section, such a fluid opening As shown in Fig. 2, the flatness of 22 is considerably removed because it eliminates the stepped portion S formed in the housing processing surface 142 when only one valve seat 150 or 250 is conventionally used. It is important to prevent the foreign matter or powder contained in the fluid from being stuck in the stepped portion (S).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the knife plate 10 is raised, the lower portion of the fluid opening 22 is flat, and thus foreign matter or powder is not caught and stuck to the fluid, so that the fluid is blocked by the knife plate 10. It is to improve the sealing property further.

In addition, the valve seats 30 are formed of rubber sheets wrapped in the head portions H1 and H2 of the first and second seat rings 40a and 40b for the expansion of the valve seats 30. The hollow portions 32a and 32b formed in between the seatings facilitate the expansion operation of the valve seats 30 when the air is supplied, and return to the initial position, that is, the retracted position, when the supply of air is stopped. Be sure to

Meanwhile, although all the bolts are illustrated as B in the drawing, the fixing ring 60 has two fixing parts to the lower portion 20a of the housing 20 and a first seat ring 40a through the first backup ring 50a. Two fixed to the coupled to the inside of the lower portion (60b) of the fixing ring 60 is coupled two bolts (B) for fixing the second backup ring (50b), such bolts (B) in the drawing It passes through the through hole of h indicated and overlaps with the screw grooves indicated by h '.

Then, the first backup ring 50a is fixed while being in close contact with the contact surface to the upper side of the second backup ring 50b. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the first valve seat 30b and the first valve seat 30b are fixed. 2 When the boundary of the valve seat 30a is formed to be inclined approximately 45 degrees, foreign matter or powder is not caught and comes down along the interface when the flow of fluid is performed to prevent accumulation of foreign matter or powder.

On the other hand, when the fluid is a powder having a large particle size, it is easier to block the flow of the fluid as compared to a liquid fluid, a gas, or a powder having a fine particle size, and as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the first gate Without installing the first valve seat 30a in close contact with the side of the knife plate 10 in the valve 1, although not shown in the drawing, a conventional metal seat is in close contact with the side of the knife plate 10. 20), and only one valve seat, that is, the second valve seat 30b, can be installed as expandable as air A, thereby effectively controlling the flow of powder having a large particle size. In this case, the first valve seat It would be desirable to eliminate the need for the respective seating rings, backing rings, etc., 30a, and to secure them, thus reducing the manufacturing cost of the valve 1 itself.

By the way, the most problematic part in the case of powder having a large particle size, as described in the prior art portion, the lower edge surface (10b) portion of the knife plate 10 and the valve seat (30b) side of the processing surface portion of the housing Since the fluid accumulates, when the fluid opening 22 is formed flat to eliminate the step and the valve seat 30b that expands and contracts as air is installed, the fluid is surely prevented from accumulating.

Of course, if the size of the fluid pipe to which the gate valve 1 is installed is small or if it simply blocks the flow of the fluid and no pressure is applied to the fluid, or if the fluid is a liquid, a gas or a small particle, If the pipe line is not a problem, it would be desirable to reduce the component cost of the gate valve by installing only the second valve seat 30b, but its use range will be limited except in the case of powder having a large particle size.

Next, FIG. 16 shows a second gate valve 1 'according to the present invention, which is characterized by a pair of first valve seats 30a and 30a'. ) And one second valve seat 30b so that the first valve seat 30a0 (30a ') comes into close contact with both sides 10a and 10a' of the knife plate 10 at the same time, so that the direction of fluid flow Regardless of whether the gate valve (1 ') can be connected between the fluid piping.

That is, the second gate valve 1 'is a bidirectional gate valve 1', and the pair of first valve seats 30a and 30a 'has a pair of retaining rings 60 at both sides of the knife plate 10. 60 'and a pair of first seat rings 40a and 40a' coupled through a pair of first backup rings 50a and 50a 'fixed inwardly to both sides of the knife plate 10 10a) is fitted in close contact with 10a '.

Therefore, when the knife plate 10 is lowered, the air A is supplied to the first valve seats 30a and 30a 'through the first air passages A1 and A1' to expand and expand the knife plate 10. In close contact with both side surfaces 10a and 10a 'and at the same time, the lower second valve seat 30b also expands as described above, so that the second gate valve 1' tightly holds the fluid regardless of the direction of the fluid flow. On the contrary, when the knife plate 10 rises to open the fluid opening, the pair of first valve seats 30a and 30a 'and the second valve seat 30b contract and the knife plate 10 Friction with the valve) can be avoided, which prevents wear of the valve seat.

Next, FIGS. 17 and 18 illustrate a third gate valve 100 of the present invention. The third gate valve 100 is characterized in that the first gate is in close contact with the knife plate 110 while expanding. The first seat ring 40a formed at a smaller angle than the semicircle in the first and second gate valves 1 and 1 'by forming the valve seat 130a and the first seat ring 140a in a single circle. Compared to the 40a 'to facilitate the machining operation, the third gate valve 100 is suitable for a substantially large valve, which is the first valve seat 130a and the second valve seat ( This is because the portion where 130b) contacts occurs.

At this time, the same configuration as that of the 1-2 gate valve 1 is indicated by a code of 100 units.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the valve housing 120 having the knife plate 110 vertically moving, and the fluid opening 122 opening and closing according to the movement of the knife plate 110 are formed.
