Description
W. EBERT LIFT PLUG VALVE Nov. 14, E950 Filed March 6, 194'? IN V EN TOR.
Patented Nov. 14, `195() LIFT PLUG VALVE Walter Ebert, Kenosha, Wis., assignor to Tri- Clover Machine Co., Kenosha, Wis., a corporation of Wisconsin Application March 6, 1947, Serial No. 732,706
9 Claims.
the plug and lift it from its seat, and such pounding is sometimes done so carelessly that parts are broken. Heretofore, various devices have been proposed for dislodging the plug to permit rotation thereof, but these devices have either embodied too many parts to be practical or have embodied interior threading, shoulders or recesses located in objectionable places whereby cleaning of the parts is rendered diicult or impossible. When plug valves are employed in pasteurizing equipment or in other apparatus where `a high degree of sanitation is required and where the valves must be taken apart daily for cleaning, yquick; assembly and disassembly is essential and vit is also essential that all of the valve parts be so constructed that every portion thereof is easily accessible for scrubbing. Furthermore, the fewer the number of parts the less the time that is required for taking down, cleaning, and reassembling.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a lift plug valve having a minimum number of parts which are so arranged and constructed that the valve may be quickly assembled and disassembled, each part being so formed that thorough cleaning is a simple matter.
A further object of the invention is to provide a valve as above described including novel means for forcibly moving the plug a short distance in an axial direction so as to force it out of seated condition when it becomes stuck.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a lift plug Valve as above described wherein there is a single operating handle which, when moved, rst serves to forcibly unseat the plug, and then serves to rotate the plug to a selected open or closed position.
A more specic object of the invention is to provide a lift plug valve as above described wherein the lower end of the plug has a projecting stem with a threaded outer end portion for receiving a nut, there being yielding means inwardly of the nut and surrounding said stem for urging .the plug into seated condition.
A more specific object of the invention is to provide a construction as above described, where;- in in one form of the invention said yielding means may take a form of a yielding disc.
With the above and other objects in View, the invention consists of the improved lift plug valve, and all its parts and combinations, as set forth in the claims, and all equivalents thereof.
In the accompanying drawing, illustrating preferred embodiments of the invention, in which the same reference numerals designate the same parts in all of the views:
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through the valve with the plug member shown in full;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary side elevational view showing the lift cam arrangement;
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken approximately on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view through the lower portion of the valve structure illustrating a modification.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral 6 designates a valve body having a longitudinal bore 1 and having a transverse tapered bore 8 intersecting the longitudinal bore 1. A valve member or plug 9 is seated in the tapered bore S and provided with the usual port I0 which is adapted to be brought into or out of alignment with the bore 'I of the body when the plug is rotated.
The upper end of the plug has a stem II pro'- `jecting upwardly from the center thereof. The bottommost portion of the stem is enlargedto vprovide an annular shoulder I2 and above this is a squared stem portion I3 which is of less size than the portion therebelow. The stem proper which projects above the squared portion I3 is of round stock and is threaded on its upper end as at I4.
The main stem portion extends loosely and rotatably through an opening I5 in the inner end of a handle I6. A nut I1, which is threaded onto the upper end portion I4 of the stem, serves to restrict upward movement of the handle.
The inner end I8 of the handle is circular in shape and formed with a cam projection I9 which is substantially semi-circular in ,cross-section. The ends of the cam projection` I9 register with oppositely disposed cam recesses 20 in a circular rim 2l projecting upwardly from a cover plate 22. The latter has a downwardly extending circular flange 23 which seats on the annular upper edge 24 of the valve body. When the plug 9 is in seated condition as in Fig. 1, the shoulder I2 below the squared portion I3V of the stem is somewhat below the lower surface of the cover 22.
Projecting concentrically from the lower end of the plug 9 is a squared stem 25 having its lowermost end portion round and threaded as at 26 for receiving an adjustment nut 21.
In order to constantly urge the plug to seated position, yielding means is employed around the stem portion 25. This yielding means is so arranged as to act to constantly urge the plug into seated condition. In the preferred form of the invention this yielding means takes the form of a yielding concavo-convex disc 28 having a central squared opening 29 through which the squared stem portion 25 projects. The periphery 30 of the disc 28 seats against the annular end 30 at the bottom of the valve body and is preferably rounded to minimize friction. When the nut 21 is suitably adjusted to compress the disc 28 somewhat, the disc will tend to return to its normal concavo-convex form and will thus act against the inner'face of the nut 21 to constantly urge the plug 9 into seated condition. In this form of the invention, the disc also provides a bottom closure for the valve body.
This same function may be performed by the arrangement illustrated in Fig. 4. In this form of the invention, however, there is a fiat closure disc 3l having a squared central opening 32 through which the squared stem portion 25 extends. A coil spring 33, surrounding the stem and positioned between the disc 3| and the nut 21 acts to constantly urge the plug 9 into seated condition. This form of the invention has more parts than the form of Fig. 1 and the parts of Fig. l are easier to clean.
In use of the improved valve, assuming that the valve is in the open positionof Fig. 1 and it is desired to close it, it is merely necessary to move the handle I6. During the first part of this movement, the handle rotates a very small distance around the stern I I until the cam starts to ride up the inclined sides of the cam recesses 2U. This will cause an upward lift on the plug 9 to move the latter just enough to break the seal between the tapered plug and the tapered bore 8 of the body. The amount of lift may be controlled by the amount of clearance between the shoulder I2Y and the lower face of the cover 22. By limiting this clearance to an amount just suicient for seal-breaking purposes, any leakage while the valve is unseated can be held to a minimum. As soon as this seal is broken, further rotation of the plug becomes a simple matter. This rotation is performed by further movement of the handle I8. During such further movement, the handle will act to rotate the cover 22, and the latter. through the engagement of its square hole 34, with the squared stem portion I3, produces rotation of the stem and plug 9 so that the plug may be easily rotated to closed position. During such rotation the t of the squared lower stem portion 25 in the square hole 29 of the disc 28 will cause rotation of the disc 28. The rounded edge 30 will minimize friction during such rotation. The arrangement is such that there will be no tendency to loosen the nut 21. As soon as the handle is released the yielding disc 28 or spring 33 will pull the plug 9 back to seated condition and the handle cam I9 will automatically return to the position of Fig. l, wherein the cam I9 is located in the lowermost portions of the cam recesses 20.
v With the form of the invention of Fig. 4, when the plug is being rotated, the t of the squared stem portion 25 in the squared opening 32 of the .4 bottom disc 3l will cause rotation of the disc with the plug. Thus, the spring 33 and nut 21 will rotate as a unit with the plug and disc 3l and there will be no tendency to loosen the nut 21 and no relative rotation between the upper end of the spring 33 and the disc 3|.
It is apparent that with the improved construction there is a combination seal breaking and plug rotating movement produced by the same manipulation of a single handle. It is also apparent that the construction has been so worked out that there is a minimum number of parts. Furthermore each part is so constructed that it can be thoroughly cleaned without diiculty. Complete disassembly of the valve can be accomplished by merely removing the two nuts I1 and 21.
Although only two forms of the invention have been shown and described, it is obvious that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and all of such changes are contemplated as may come within the scope of the claims.
