Abstract

By preventing a twist of the diaphragm when assembled, various adverse effects arising from such a twist of the diaphragm are completely eliminated. Provided is a set of jigs for assembling a valve including a pair of above and below fixing jigs, a rotation-stop jig, and a fixing means: the rotation-stop jig is inserted and fixed to the above fixing jig in a non-rotational state; the fixing means fixes non-rotatably and attachably the rotation-stop jig and a bonnet of the valve to each other; a body of the valve is inserted and fixed to the below fixing jig in a non-rotational state; the bonnet and the body are fixed independently from each other in a non-rotational state, thereby preventing an outer periphery of a diaphragm from twisting in which a lower surface of an outer periphery of the bonnet and an outer seal part of the body are tightly attached to and hold the outer periphery of the diaphragm.

Claims (10)

1. A set of jigs for assembling a valve, comprising:

an above fixing jig;

a below fixing jig;

a rotation-stop jig; and

a fixing means,

wherein the rotation-stop jig is inserted into and fixed to the above fixing jig in a non-rotational state, and

wherein the fixing means non-rotatably and attachably fixes the rotation-stop jig to a bonnet of the valve, and a body of the valve is non-rotationally fixed to the below fixing jig, such that the bonnet and the body are fixed independently of each other in a non-rotational state so as to prevent relative rotation between the bonnet and the body, thereby preventing an outer periphery of a diaphragm from twisting in which a lower surface of an outer periphery of the bonnet and an outer seal part of the body are tightly attached to and hold the outer periphery of the diaphragm.

2. The set of jigs for assembling a valve according to claim 1 , further comprising a fastening nut which is screwed to an opening of the body, wherein the outer seal part is configured by screwing of the fastening nut with a tool.

3. The set of jigs for assembling a valve according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing means is configured by a plurality of pins to be commonly inserted into the bonnet and the rotation-stop jig.

4. The set of jigs for assembling a valve according to claim 1 , wherein the valve is a diaphragm valve.
