Shuttle valve having two drives
First Claim
1. A shuttle valve for the gas-tight interruption of a flow path, comprising a valve housing having a wall which has an opening for the flow path and a valve seat surrounding the opening, a valve disc which is arranged on a rotatably mounted shaft, and a drive unit by means of which the valve disc can be moved along a defined displacement curve from an opened position leaving the flow path essentially unobstructed over the cross-section of the first opening into a closed position, in which the flow path is sealed gas-tight by a sealing contact between the valve disc and the valve seat by swivelling the valve disc from the opened position by a rotational movement about the pivot axis of the shaft and by moving the valve disc by a linear movement parallel to the pivot axis in the direction of the valve seat into the closed position, wherein the drive unit has a first drive for carrying out the rotational movement about the pivot axis and a second drive for carrying out the linear movement parallel to the pivot axis, a control unit is provided, and the first drive and the second drive being actuatable by the control unit in such a way that a variable displacement curve can be produced.

Abstract
The invention relates to a shuttle valve for interrupting a flow path (F), comprising a valve housing (1) having a valve seat (4) surrounding an opening (3) for the flow path (F). A valve disc (5) is arranged on a rotatably mounted shaft (6). By means of a drive unit (7), the valve disc (5) can be swivelled along a defined displacement curve (K1; K2; K3) from an opened position and leaving the flow path (F) unobstructed over the cross-section of the first opening (3) by a rotational movement about the pivot axis (8) of the shaft (6) and can be moved by a linear movement parallel to the pivot axis (8) in the direction of the valve seat (4) into a closed position so that the flow path (F) is sealed gas-tight by a sealing contact between the valve disc (5) and the valve seat (4). According to the invention, the drive unit (7) has a first drive (9a) for carrying out the rotational movement about the pivot axis (8) and a second drive (10a) for carrying out the linear movement parallel to the pivot axis (8). By means of a control unit (11), the first drive (9a) and the second drive (10a) can be actuated so that a variable displacement curve (K1; K2; K3) can be produced.
