[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Next, the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0021] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0022] As shown in Appendix Figures 1 to 3 , the present invention discloses a natural gas emergency shut-off valve, which includes a valve body 1, a middle barrel, and a valve cover 11. The valve cover 11 is arranged above the middle barrel, the valve body 1 is arranged below the middle barrel, both the valve body 1 and the valve cover 11 are connected to the middle barrel. A valve cavity 22 is formed inside the valve body 1. An inlet 23 and an outlet 24 are arranged on both sides of the valve cavity 22. A valve seat 3 and a valve core 4 are arranged in the valve cavity 22. A valve rod 15 is arranged on the valve cover 11. The valve rod 15 penetrates through the valve cover 11 and extends into the valve cavity 22 through the middle barrel to be connected to the valve core 4. A stuffing box 25 is formed between the valve cover 11 and the valve rod 15. A packing 12 is arranged in the stuffing box 25. A bellows component 10 is arranged on the valve rod 15. The bellows component 10 is connected to the valve rod 15. An installation cavity 26 is formed between the valve core 4 and the valve body 1. A sleeve 5 is arranged in the installation cavity 26. One side of the sleeve 5 is connected to the inner wall of the valve body 1, and the other side is connected to the valve core 4. A sealing cavity (not shown in the figure) is formed between the sleeve 5 and the valve core 4. A sealing component is arranged in the sealing cavity. A valve seat 3 is arranged in the valve cavity 22. A sealing ring 28 is arranged between the valve seat 3, the valve body 1, and the valve core 4.

[0023] A sealing component is provided to achieve better sealing effect. The sealing component includes a sealing pressing plate 29, on which an upper Gland ring 8 and a lower Gland ring 81 are arranged. A sealing groove 30 is formed between the sealing pressing plate 29 and the sleeve 5. An O-ring 31 is arranged in the sealing groove 30, which connects the sleeve 5 and the sealing pressing plate 29. The upper Gland ring 8, the O-ring 31, and the lower Gland ring 81 are arranged on the sealing pressing plate 29 from top to bottom in sequence. The high-performance sealing ring 6, the O-ring 31, and the O-ring 7 are provided to ensure the forward sealing of the valve, and the high-performance sealing ring 6, the O-ring 31, and the O-ring 7 are provided to ensure the reverse sealing of the valve. The upper Gland ring 8 and the lower Gland ring 81 are mainly used for guiding the valve core 4, reducing the wear of the high-performance sealing ring 6 during its movement, and can also achieve a certain sealing effect.

[0024] By setting the O-ring 31 to replace the traditional O-ring, the sealing effect is better. The outer circumference of the O-ring 31 is in the shape of four sealing lips. When the sealing pressing plate 29 and the sleeve 5 apply pressure to the O-ring 31, the O-ring 31 will transmit the received pressure to all directions including the sleeve 5 direction and the sealing pressing plate 29 direction through the four outer sealing lips. And as the pressure increases, the sealing lips deform so that the sealing lips gradually fit with the sleeve 5 and the sealing pressing plate 29. Thus, the sealing force between the O-ring 31 and the sleeve 5 and the sealing pressing plate 29 will also increase.

[0025] Specifically, an upper limit ring (not shown in the figure) and a lower limit ring (not shown in the figure) can also be arranged in the sealing groove 30. The upper limit ring and the lower limit ring respectively abut against both sides of the O-ring 31. By the upper limit ring and the lower limit ring, the rolling of the O-ring 31 in the sealing groove 30 during the operation of the shut-off valve is restricted, thus avoiding the overall deformation of the O-ring 31, which may cause the sealing lips to not fit tightly with the sleeve 5 and the sealing pressing plate 29, thereby reducing the sealing performance.

[0026] Specifically, a sealing cover 32 is arranged above the sealing pressing plate 29 and the valve core 4. An upper ring groove 33 is formed on the sealing cover 32. A lower ring groove 34 is arranged on the side of the valve core 4 close to the sleeve 5. High-performance sealing rings 6 are arranged in both the upper ring groove 33 and the lower ring groove 34. Corresponding screw holes are provided between the sealing cover 32 and the valve core 4, and the sealing cover 32 and the valve core 4 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0027] Specifically, a notch is formed on the side of the valve body 1 in contact with the sleeve 5. The sleeve 5 protrudes correspondingly to form an abutting block 35 at the notch. A serrated gasket 9 is arranged between the abutting block 35 and the notch. By setting the abutting block 35, a supporting point is formed between the sleeve 5 and the valve body 1 to prevent the sleeve 5 from falling off.

[0028] Preferably, one end of the bellows component 10 is fixedly connected to the valve stem 15, and the other end of the bellows component 10 is fixedly connected to the valve cover 11.

[0029] By providing a V-shaped packing, a U-shaped groove 16 is provided on the V-shaped packing 12, a spring is provided below the packing 12, one end of the spring abuts against the packing 12, and the other end of the spring is connected to the bottom wall of the packing groove 25. The U-shaped groove 16 can increase the deformation of the V-shaped packing 12 to achieve a better sealing effect. The spring at the lower part of the packing 12 ring presses the packing 12 from the inside. This structure makes the radial contact pressure distribution between the packing 12 and the valve stem 15 tend to be uniform along the axial direction, enabling each ring of the packing 12 to play a sealing role and facilitating the realization of sealing. In the middle of the valve stem 15, a relatively thick liquid film is easily formed, which plays a good lubricating role, can reduce the wear of the packing 12 on the valve stem 15, and extend the service life of the valve.

[0030] Specifically, a packing gland 13 is provided above the packing 12. A sealing ring groove 21 is provided on the packing gland 13, and an O-ring 7 is provided in the sealing ring groove 21. A dust-proof sealing ring 14 is provided between the packing gland 13 and the packing 12. The dust-proof sealing ring 14 and the O-ring 7 are placed on the packing gland 13, preventing impurities attached to the exposed surface of the valve stem 15 from entering the interior of the packing 12 cavity along with the valve stem 15 and causing damage to the valve stem 15 and the packing 12, and at the same time playing an auxiliary sealing role.

[0031] Specifically, a lock washer 17 is provided between the screw and the sealing gland 32. The lock washer 17 is composed of an upper washer 18 and a lower washer 19. The upper washer 18 and the lower washer 19 are provided with corresponding serrated surfaces 20. The serrated surface 20 of the upper washer 18 is meshed and connected with the serrated surface 20 of the lower washer 19. The washer locks not by friction but by a mechanical structure. It is composed of a pair of washers with interlocking tooth surfaces, and the interlocking angle is greater than the lead angle of the thread, effectively preventing the loosening of the screw. The same lock washer 17 is provided at all parts that require screw connection in the present invention.

[0032] Specifically, a valve body 1 sealing groove 30 is opened at the connection between the valve body 1 and the valve seat 3. A valve body 1 sealing ring is provided in the valve body 1 sealing groove 30, and a graphite gasket 2 is further provided above the valve body 1 sealing ring. The graphite gasket 2 is provided between the valve body 1 and the valve seat 3.

[0033] The foregoing description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
