Diaphragm sealed swash-plate drive
The invention
  • The problem to be solved:
    Sealing of rotation shaft of industrial valve by diaphragm seal.
  • Definition:
    Sealing of turning or rotating shafts by diaphragm sealing, illustrated in the operation of a swash-plate drive operating a butterfly-valve.
  • Presentation:
    The agent to be sealed off are isolated by a diaphragm (flat, rolling or bellow) attached to the housing. Under the diaphragm the crown gear is located connecting to the driven gear plate. The forced-trajectory motion of the gear ring is wobbling caused by rolling down on the tooth of the driven crown gear and as a function of the gear number difference between the drive and driven gear causes the rotation of the crown wheel. The wobbling motion of the diaphragm and the gear rim is caused by the rotation of the skewed – formed by the angular deviation between the centre line of the swash-plate and the centre line of the drive shaft - swash-plate.

  • Application: pipelines
  • Advantages:
    Shaft sealing having especially high seal security, ensuring leak-proof sealing of turning or rotating shafts and at the same time performing the actuation function of a butterfly- or ball valve. By using plastic parts the unit can be economically as well as effectively used even in highly corrosive operating environment.
  • Stage of development: Operation is introduced by an prototype, model is can be seen.
  • Documentation available: Yes.
The inventor(s)
  • Name(s): Károly SIPOS
  • Self introduction:
    I had worked for a industrial valve manufacturer factory as a designer, responsible for the development of valves for pipelines.
    Since I have been retired I started to use AUTOCAD system, and I work on the developing of valves according to my conception.
