  σWA < [σWA ] the disc design is reasonable,, [σWA ] is allowable bending stress for the material.
  (2) disc B2B cross-section strength check
  As the valve adopts upper and lower two-section stem to support, disc deformation is very small, so not to repeat them here.
  the key of "M"-shaped butterfly valve design is the calculation of the upper and lower stem of driving pieces, body and disc strength, and the
valve body, disc, stem, and pin and other parts rational selection and heat treatment. The valve is a single eccentric butterfly valve, torque is
small, the whole disc is coated with a sealing layer, with good sealing performance, do not pollute the environment, demolition and maintenance
are very convenient. Driven approach has handle type, worm gear type, electric and pneumatic, etc., is a valve that widely used.

1.preface

simple butterfly valve structure, small size, light weight, and has a certain degree of flow control features.
The butterfly valve heart parts- disc plays the role of cutting off medium when the valve is closed, and affected by media pressure differential of
both ends before and after the valve to occur deformation, the deformation size of the valve has a greater impact to sealing performance, sealing
surface itself wear and switching operating torque. Therefore, the more accurate estimates and research of disc deflection, it is reasonable to
choose and design the structure size of the valve, and takes this as the basis for selection, designing transmission mechanism and adjusting the
implementing devices.

2.stress analysis

Butterfly valve spindle inserts into disc, by four long tapered fastening pin, can take spindle and disc as a whole. Between the spindle and sleeve
is the gap matching, in the calculation of deformation, it can approximately take the disc seemed as the simply supported bearing type variable
cross-section beams. The disc is circular, the load that along disc axial direction is uneven, as shown in Figure 1

disc that is affected by the media force, the beam will occur bending, if the stress within the elastic limit, the whole deformation within the beam as
follows:
formula (1) only considers the bending moment effects. In addition, each module will also store a certain degree of shear strain energy, which is
much smaller than the bending strain energy, is negligible. From Castile Lane Arnold (Gastigliano) first theorem to get:

formula (2) shows that: if a number of external forces (generalized force, including the moment) affect on one elastomer, then the elastomer
deformation energy U for any external force Pi partial derivatives is equal to the force of the acting point along the the direction of force
deformation yi, as shown in Figure 2

concerning the disc, quadrature and partial derivatives are very difficult. According to Maxwell (JG Marwell) - Moore (O. Moho) principle that,

in formula (2) can be seen as the same beam Pi acting point, bearing the effect of one unit load along Pi direction that causes
bending moment M ° (x), that is,

formula (3) points is still very difficult, because M0 (x) change is relatively simple, M (x) is a a function that changes by x, disc is circular, and its
thickness along the axis X also is not a fixed value, Therefore, the disc inertia J is actually varies with the X and more complex function J (x).
formula (3) can use weilih Saint-Venat proposed simple algorithm. This algorithm is simple and described as follows: makes EJ = cont (fixed
value)
If you require any point K displacement, it can act a unit virtual afterburner Q on the K point, and make M (x), M ° (x) diagram, shown in Figure 3.
formula (4) shows that: knowing deflexion only need to calculate M (x) picture area (ω1, ω2), and multiplied the vertical coordinates M ° l that just
below centroid area M ° (x) diagram. If M (x) is complex, and very difficult to calculate them, the area of ω1, ω2 and focus of cl, c2 can be applied
to mapping derived. Using area of ω1, ω2 sub-taking moment method derived cl, c2, the section is more detailed, and with more accurate results,
each center of gravity can be approximated to take snippets of each subparagraph ωi center. Then

The disc studied here, J (x) is also a very complex function and, therefore, can use weilih Saint-Venat method to calculate, namely, the picture
multiplication evaluatation.
As mentioned above, find disc deformation, can divide the disc along the axis X direction into many sections 1,2,3 ... n, n +1 ..., and find the X-
axis perpendicular to the direction of sections in the paragraphs J,, JZ, J3 ... Jn, Jn +1 ".. value is used, and then find the various sections of M1,
M2, ... Mn, Mn +1 ... values, shown in Figure 4

According to …series data, we make the picture of according to the proportion, That is to
indicate the M (x), J (x) complex function relationship with a graphics.
3、Deflection Analysis and Calculation

If required beam deflection YK of any point, in the K-point increase the imaginary unit force Q, and to make the M 0 (x). This allows the use of
weilih Saint-Venat diagrammatic multiplication method to calculate. In this case, formula (4) has the following form:

formula ωx1, ωx2-M (x) / J (x) Graphic Area


As we nearly take the disc to be considered as a simple beam, therefore, using formula (5) to calculate or derived by multiplying the deflection y
values are disc in the Z direction of each vertical section that all points have the common deflection, vertical section KK's deflection yK-K are
equal, Figure 4. However, Z-axis direction deflection in fact not equal, such as the edge K-point deflection should be larger than deflection y0 of
center 0, that is, there should be another deflection, this deflection is uner the effect of force q, by the Z-axis direction bending moment generated.
Taking A-A axis as a fixed end, taking Z-axis direction half disc D / 2 as a cantilever beam, its deflection can be approximately considered to be Z-
axis direction parallel to the X-axis deflection of each section.
Z-axis direction deflection y: Similarly, according to the multiplication of weilih Saint-Venat. To calculate the disc edge K point maximum deflection
yKZ is also the same that add a virtual unit force Q on the K point (see Figure 5), then are:

in the formula, ω2 --- m (z) / J (z) Graphic Area


According to the superposition principle, the deflection y of any point of the disc should besum of the X-axis direction simple beam deflection y2
and Z-axis cantilever beam deflection y2, namely:

formula (7) is to use diagram multiplication to calculate the disc deflection formula

4.Conclusion

Taking the disc approximately as the beam conditions to calculate the deformation, in the calculation of one position deformation, ignoring the
impact of another direction, but this effect would bound the deformation of disc. Using this method, to calculate the deflection is relatively similar,
the calculated result is too large, but it is safe and allowed for the engineering design.
