The gate valve is the one with a disc that you see. When you rotate the disc, the gate inside moves, thereby achieving the function of switching. As for the butterfly valve, there is a butterfly inside that can rotate. When you turn the handle, it activates. Both are named after their structures. The globe valve can be considered as the general term for the first two. Some people also refer to the check valve as a globe valve.
