Patent ID: 11486499

Abstract:
A wedge-shaped gate valve with a branching part formed to be open in a direction orthogonal to an inner flow path of a valve box having a coupling part on both sides, and a valve disk ascends and descends from the branching part via a valve stem to open and close an annular valve seat surface. At a boundary between the coupling part and the branching part, a reinforcing thickened part having a cylindrical, cone, or truncated cone shape with a diameter gradually reducing from the branching part toward the coupling part side is provided, and the thickened part is formed by taking, as an outer shape, a cylinder, a cone, or a truncated cone with an axis P2 that is eccentric from a center line P1 of the flow path to the branching part side and is parallel to or crossing the center line P1 as a rotation axis.
