Title: Dynamic control valve
Inventor: RAYMOND JOHN HUDSON
IPC: F16K31/64
Filed: 2019-08-26
Abstract: A butterfly valve disc wherein the circumference 4 of the disk is outwardly extendable to seal and lock the valve in a closed position. The circumference of the disc is extended via a reverse iris valve seal mechanism within the disc, whereby gear mechanisms 5a,6a,7a,8a extend outwards when hub 18 rotates anticlockwise, until hub arms reach stop extrusions 13d,14d,15d,16d, wherein the outer circumference engages with the inner surface of the valve housing forming a tight seal. The hub may be automatically rotated when a material within an actuator (fig 5) expands due to temperature changes or alternatively by electromotive means. Preferably the disc has a safeguard wherein the disc is moved to the correct closed position via a spring mechanism when a release material (37, fig 6) turns to liquid at a set temperature, overriding any other means of controlling the valves position, or upon the detection of alternative thresholds e.g. smoke, humidity and pressure. A further increase in temperature causes a secondary actuator (fig 5) to rotate the hub 18 and extend the iris mechanism sealing the valve disc to the valve housing. The secondary actuator preferably contains a material that expands with a temperature increase.
