Detailed Description of Embodiments
Referring to Figure 1, an open bodied pinch valve 10 is shown including a frame 12 which is formed from two identical side plates of cross-bar shape 14, 16 which are fixed at their respective upper edges to either end of a rectangularly-shaped top plate 18. The valve 10 further includes a liner in the form of an elongate tube or pipe 40 which is formed from an elastomeric material and which includes a central bore 41 extending therethrough. The pipe 40 passes through the frame 12 so that it is surrounded on three sides by the side plates 14, 16 and the top plate 18.
A pinch mechanism is provided as part of the valve 10 consisting of a lower pinch bar 52 and an upper pinch bar 54 located on opposite sides of the pipe 40 and which may be moved by an actuator 60 as will be later described to bring the pinch bars 52, 54 to bear against the pipe 40 at about the mid-point of the length of the pipe 40 to deform it so as to adjust the effective cross sectional area of the bore 41 of the pipe 40. Flanges 42 are provided at either end of sleeve, the regions around which each being supported by a flange support which is formed in the shape of a circular ring 20 in two identical halves comprising an upper flange support member in the form of a half-ring 22 and a lower flange support member in the form of a half ring 24. The flange support half rings 22, 24 include a series of holes which correspond with holes provided in the flanges 42 of the sleeve which in use are arranged to receive bolts to fit the ends of the pipe 40 to adjacent pipe work, or to other fluid fittings, such as the outlet of a holding tank, in a conventional fashion.
In further embodiments the flange supports may not be located right at the ends of the sleeve, but can be located in such a way as to provide support in the general end regions of the tube or pipe 40. The frame 12 of the valve 10 is reconfigurable to accommodate sleeves of different lengths, as may be required according to the particular application at hand as will now be described with reference to Figures 2 to 5.
Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the frame 12a for an open bodied pinch valve is shown of a similar type to that of Figure 1, the frame 12a comprising side plates 14a, 16a. The upper and lower flange support members in the form of half-rings 22, 24 are spaced away from the side plates 14a, 16a of the frame 12a by a series of four identical spacers elements in the form of generally rectangular plates 60. Referring to Figure 4, an arrangement similar to that of Figure 2 is shown, except that the spacer elements in the form of generally rectangular plates 60 have been replaced with spacers 60a which are of a comparatively increased length. As can be seen from the Figures, by the inclusion of spacers of varying lengths between the flange supports and the side plates, the distance between the flange supports may be adjusted. This enables the pinch valve to be reconfigured in the field to accommodate sleeves of varying lengths. Kits of pairs of spacer members of the same or different lengths can be supplied with the pinch valves to allow the user to select different spacer lengths as required - in some cases the pair of spacers fitted at one end of the pinch valve can be of a different length to the pair of spacers that is fitted at the other end. This facilitates support of various lengths of resilient liner, as will be described.
Referring to Figure 5, the spacer 60a is shown in an enlarged detail. The spacer 60a and the region where it is mounted to the side plate 14a are shaped to provide alignment of the spacer 60a with the side plate 14a, to enable spacer 60a to be held in position whilst fixing bolts are fitted, and to provide inherent strength to the joint between spacer 60a and side plate 14a. The flanges 62a, 62b on the spacer 60a are sized suitable to be received in a respective recess 63a, 63b which is located between two pairs of protruding fingers 67a, 67b which extend laterally from the side plate 14a. Furthermore, the shoulder regions 64a, 64b located adjacent to the flanges 62a, 62b on the spacer 60a are a snug fit within a rectangular recess 65 which formed between the pairs of protruding fingers 67a, 67b. The spacer is secured in place by passing bolts through the aligned in use bolt holes provided in the flanges 62a, 62b of the spacer 60a and of the respective pairs of fingers 67a, 67b at the side plate 14a.
Sleeves for open bodied pinch valves may be specified in terms of the ratio of the bore diameter to their length (2X, 3X, 4X etc). The arrangement shown in Figure 2 would suit a 3X specification sleeve, whilst the arrangement shown in Figure 4 would suit a 4X specification sleeve. If the spacers were omitted altogether, then the frame with flange supports attached directly to the side plates would suit a 2X specification sleeve, as shown in Figure 6. The apparatus therefore provides a kit of side mounted spacer parts of various fixed lengths arranged to be joined to the flanges and pinch valve frame to form different lengths of the overall pinch valve structure, to support liners of greatly varying lengths. In one embodiment those side parts are in the form of side plates which are mounted and screwed together in an interlocking manner to the flanges and frame so as to provide a strong and stable 'cage-like' structure for supporting the liner.
Such a length adjustment arrangement has the advantage that some larger diameters of liners passing through the pinch valve structure can be supported more evenly over a greater length. This means that the device can have a smoother or more gradual curvature of liner into and out of the valve frame structure when there is a lengthy horizontal section in the central region between flanges. In use this means that there will be less internal wear on the liner because the flow is likely to be more laminar over a longer length. Turbulence of flow due to various bends, or in shorter liner lengths once pinched, can lead to more internal stress and abrasive wear by slurries on the interior liner walls.
In further embodiments the spacers can be of different general shape and configuration to the types shown in the drawings, for example as strips or bars, or even circular in shape. There can be other means of removeably joining the spacers to the side plates of the frame rather than the specific bolting arrangement that has been described, which may for example include different types of interference fit joints, or an attachment clip device. After a period of use of the pinch valve, the sleeve may become worn and require replacement. The procedure for replacing a sleeve will be described with reference to Figure 6. Referring to Figure 6, the bolts holding the lower flange support element (shown as half ring 24) in place have been removed, and the half ring 24 is shown removed from the valve frame 12a to allow removal and replacement of the sleeve (not shown). When the sleeve has been replaced by sliding it into position under the valve frame 12a, the half ring 24 can be pushed back into place and is held in position by a lip portion 26 which is located at the lateral side edge of the side plate 14a and upon which the arm 28 of the half ring 24 rests. In this way the frame supports the lower flange support element whilst the fixing bolts are re-fitted. This obviates the need to support the weight of the lower flange element and associated sleeve whilst the bolts are being re-fitted and tightened, which improves ease of sleeve replacement and reduces the likelihood of injury to maintenance workers. In other embodiments, an equivalent lip portion 26 can be arranged on an end of the spacer 60a which is oriented in use to be furthest away from the side plate 14a. In still further embodiments, the arrangement of the frame, or of the spacer element, to retain the sleeve at the flange support element during replacement can be different to the shoulder arrangement described, and may include a resting portion of a different shape, such as an interference fit socket, for example, as long as it facilitates any easy sleeve replacement.
Referring to Figures 7 and 8, an open bodied pinch valve is shown with an attachment formation for attaching one of a selection of different types of valve actuators (see Figure 9). The attachment formation is shown in the form of a bracket 60 formed from welded sections of steel plate. The bracket 60 is bolted to a yoke 56 which is in turn fixed to two side arms 58 which themselves are in turn fixed to the lower pinch bar 52. In this way, the bracket 60 is fixed in relation to the lower pinch bar. The side bars 58 pass through apertures in upper pinch bar 54 and that pinch bar 54 is free to move with respect to the side bars58. In this way, in use the entire assembly of lower pinch bar 52, side bars 58, yoke 56 and the bracket 60 may move up and down in unison.
A stem 59 is fitted to the upper pinch bar 54 and passes through an aperture in the yoke 58. One of a selection of actuators may be used in conjunction with the valve. A housing of the actuator is bolted to the bracket 60. The moving part of the actuator is engaged with the stem 59. Therefore, movement of the moving part of the actuator in use has the effect of adjusting the distance between the upper pinch bar 54 and the bracket 60. At the same time, the location of bracket 60 can change with respect to the frame (comprising top plate 18, side plates 14a, 16a) of the valve shown. The assembly formed from bracket 60, yoke 56, side bars 58 and lower pinch bar 52 "floats" to balance out forces of the upper and lower pinch bars 52, 54 applied to the outside of the deformable tube or pipe 40. Referring to Figures 9 to 12, a variety of different types of actuators may be provided to be used in conjunction with the valve such as a pneumatic actuator 62, a manual actuator 60, an hydraulic actuator 64 and an electrically powered actuator 66. In this way, a valve can be reconfigured in the field to work with different types of actuators to suit the application at hand.
It can be seen that the embodiments disclosed herein have at least one of the following advantages:
• The valve can be reconfigured to accommodate sleeves of varying lengths
• The lower flange support member is retained in position on the frame or bracket in the absence of securing bolts, to improve the ease of replacing the sleeve
• The valve can be used with a range of different types of valve actuators
