  • Publication number: 20160123493
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an intermediate bulk container (IBC) and a valve opening/closing device therefor. The container comprises a base, side plates, and a valve installed at the bottom of the container. The valve opening/closing device comprises a handle, a motion-transferring device and a valve opening/closing mechanism. The handle is installed at the side plate and is connected with the motion-transferring device. The motion-transferring device is at least partially located in the cavity between two sidewalls of the side plate of the container or at least partially located in the groove provided on the side plate, and is used to transfer the actions acting on the handle to the valve opening/closing mechanism to open/close the valve.

  • Publication number: 20150369391
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a retractable handle assembly, a valve using same and IBC. The retractable handle assembly is used in a valve of IBC. The valve comprises a valve body, a valve core, and a valve stem. The valve stem is used to drive the valve core to move so as to open/close the valve. The handle of the handle assembly is connected to the valve stem and can be rotated around the central rotating axis of the valve stem. When the valve needs to be opened/closed, the handle can be rotated around the central rotating axis to a deployed state to open/close the valve. The handle is rotated around the central rotating axis to a retracted state so as to reduce the space occupied by the valve for the valve to be welded to the liner bag or installed to IBC. In the handle assembly of the present invention, the handle can be switched between a deployed state and a retracted state.

  • Publication number: 20150300504
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve with a hinged valve core. The valve comprises a valve body, a valve core, an operating mechanism, a motion-transferring device and a locking device. The valve body is a housing. The housing is formed with a operating hole used to partially accommodate the operating mechanism and a channel having an inlet and an outlet. The valve core is connected with the valve body through a hinge. The operating mechanism is used to operate the valve core to be rotated around the central axis of the hinge to open/close the valve. The motion-transferring device is used to transfer actions on the operating mechanism to the valve core, and when the valve is closed or open, the valve core is locked on the valve body through the locking device. The valve of the present invention has a compact structure, is easy to operate, requires a small torque for opening and allows a large flow when opened.

  • Publication number: 20150233490
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a valve opening/closing device for an intermediate bulk container. the container comprises a base, side plates, and a valve provided on the base. Wherein the valve opening/closing device comprises a handle, a motion-transferring device, and a valve opening/closing mechanism, wherein the handle is mounted on the side plate and connected to the motion-transferring device, and the motion-transferring device is used to transfer the force applied on the handle to the valve, so as to open or close the valve. For the valve opening/closing device of the present invention, the operating handle is provided at an appropriate position at the side plate of the container, thereby avoiding bending over or squatting on the ground, etc when opening or closing the valve, facilitating use. In addition, the operating moment can be adjusted through adjusting the transmission ratio of the motion-transferring device, which makes it easy to control the operating force.
