Abstract
The link rod butterfly valve relies on the link mechanism inside the flow channel to realize opening. The flow within flow channel is complex and the flow state is uncertain, so that pressure load of the flow part can't be determined in the butterfly valve designing, and strength of the parts can’t be calculated accurately and the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder can't be determined accurately. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out flow field analysis. In this paper, by adopting the plug-in COSMOSMotion of Solidworks software, the link rod butterfly valve with DN1800 is carried on motion simulation, determining the specific opening. And then the butterfly valve at different opening is carried out the finite element analysis of the flow field, adopting the plug-in COSMOSFloworks of Solidworks of software. The result shows that: the force is the largest when the valve plate is in just opening, it is 230731N, the strength analysis of the flow part and selection of the hydraulic cylinder should be based on the working condition; When full opening, the upward force on the valve plate is 18504N, this force is the power source when the valve plate is over opening. The above mentioned work provides a reliable theoretical basis for the strength calculation and the force and energy parameters calculation of the link rod butterfly valve and the theoretical reference for flow pattern evaluation of the link rod butterfly valve.
