[0002] In the venting and discharge of natural gas as the medium, the valve is required to have throttling, shutoff and venting functions. Since natural gas is a flammable and explosive high-risk medium, this requires that the shutoff function of the valve achieve zero leakage when it is closed. Since the valve is throttling and venting, the valve design is required to have a hidden protection structure for the sealing pair. Summary of the invention

[0005] A vent valve according to the present invention is characterized in that when the valve is in a closed position, a hard seal is achieved between the STL valve core sealing pair and the STL valve seat sealing pair; a soft seal is achieved between the O-ring and the valve core, and the valve achieves a hard-soft dual-mass seal to achieve zero leakage.
[0006] According to the vent valve described in the present invention, it is characterized in that: the spring seat, the spring, the piston sleeve, the O-ring B, and the hexagon socket bolt form an integral body to protect the O-ring B; when the valve starts to open from closing, the valve core moves upward, and the piston sleeve also moves upward synchronously with the valve core under the action of the spring. After the valve core is separated from the O-ring B, the piston sleeve contacts the O-ring B to protect the O-ring B. When the valve core completely leaves the piston sleeve flushing surface of the piston sleeve, the piston sleeve positioning surface prevents the piston sleeve from moving upward; when the valve changes from an open state to a closed state, the valve core moves downward, and when the valve core lower end face contacts the piston sleeve flushing surface, the valve core pushes the piston sleeve to move downward, and the valve core and the O-ring B first form a soft sealing pair, and when the valve core moves downward again, the STL valve core sealing pair and the STL valve seat sealing pair realize a hard sealing pair. In the whole process, the soft sealing O-ring B is protected and is not flushed by the medium.
[0007] A vent valve according to the present invention is characterized in that: during the valve opening process, whether it is partially opened or fully opened, the STL valve core sealing pair and the STL valve seat sealing pair are not subject to erosion by the medium, the piston sleeve erosion surface is higher than the STL valve seat sealing pair to protect the STL valve seat sealing pair, and when the valve is fully opened, the STL valve core sealing pair is completely hidden in the valve core sleeve and is not subject to erosion.
[0008] A vent valve according to the present invention is characterized in that: the valve core balance hole plays a balancing role, and the pressures in the upper and lower chambers of the valve core are balanced, so that the valve opening and closing torque is small, and the valve core throttling cone plays a primary throttling and pressure reduction role in the opening and venting process, and the throttling hole of the valve core sleeve plays a secondary throttling role, so that the venting pressure is reduced to protect the downstream venting equipment.
[0009] The present invention has the following advantages: the vent valve of the present invention has a hard and soft dual-material sealing pair, and the protected sealing pair is designed and manufactured; the present invention has the following improvements and advantages;
[0010] First, for this application, the valve structure is designed as a valve core balance cage structure. It mainly consists of a valve body, a valve core, a valve seat, a piston sleeve, a spring, a spring seat 6, a valve core sleeve, a valve stem, a valve cover, etc. When the valve is in the closed position, the STL valve core sealing pair and the STL valve seat sealing pair realize hard sealing; the O-ring and the valve core realize soft sealing, and the valve realizes hard and soft dual-quality sealing to achieve zero leakage.
[0011] Second, the spring seat, spring, piston sleeve 8, O-ring B, and hexagon socket bolt form a whole to protect O-ring B. When the valve starts to open from closed, the valve core moves upward, and the piston sleeve also moves upward synchronously with the valve core under the action of spring 7. After the valve core is separated from the protective O-ring B, the piston sleeve contacts the O-ring B to protect the protective O-ring B. When the valve core completely leaves the piston sleeve flushing surface 33 of the piston sleeve, the piston sleeve positioning surface 34 prevents the piston sleeve from moving upward; when the valve changes from an open state to a closed state, the valve core moves downward, and when it moves to the lower end face of the valve core and contacts the flushing surface of the piston sleeve, the valve core will push the piston sleeve to move downward, and the valve core and the protective O-ring B first form a soft seal pair. When the valve core moves downward again, the STL valve core seal pair and the STL valve seat seal pair realize a hard seal pair. In the whole process, the soft seal protective O-ring B is protected and is not flushed by the medium.
[0012] Third, by Figure 2-Figure 3 It can be seen that during the valve opening process, whether it is partially open or fully open, the STL valve core sealing pair and the STL valve seat sealing pair are not affected by the medium erosion. The piston sleeve erosion surface is higher than the STL valve seat sealing pair to protect the STL valve seat sealing pair. When the valve is fully opened, the STL valve core sealing pair is completely hidden in the valve core sleeve and is not affected by erosion.
[0013] Fourthly, the balance hole of the valve core plays a balancing role, and the pressures in the upper and lower chambers of the valve core are balanced, so that the valve opening and closing torque is small. The throttling cone of the valve core plays a primary throttling and pressure reduction role in the process of opening and venting, and the throttling hole of the valve core sleeve plays a secondary throttling role, which reduces the venting pressure and protects the downstream equipment of the venting.

[0023] When the vent valve of the present invention is implemented, when the valve is in the closed position, the STL valve core sealing pair 31 and the STL valve seat sealing pair 30 realize hard sealing; the O-ring 11 and the valve core 12 realize soft sealing, and the valve realizes hard and soft dual-quality sealing to achieve zero leakage.
[0024] When the vent valve described in the present invention is implemented; the spring seat 6, the spring 7, the piston sleeve 8, the O-ring B9, and the hexagon socket bolt 29 form a whole to protect the O-ring B9; when the valve starts to open from closing, the valve core 12 moves upward, and the piston sleeve 8 also moves upward synchronously with the valve core 12 under the action of the spring 7. After the valve core 12 is separated from the O-ring B9, the piston sleeve 8 contacts the O-ring B9 to protect the O-ring B9. When the valve core 12 completely leaves the piston sleeve flushing surface 33 of the piston sleeve 8, the piston sleeve positioning surface 34 prevents the piston sleeve from moving upward any further; when the valve changes from an open state to a closed state, the valve core 12 moves downward, and when the lower end surface of the valve core 12 contacts the piston sleeve flushing surface 33, the valve core 12 will push the piston sleeve 8 to move downward, and the valve core 12 and the O-ring B9 first form a soft sealing pair, and when the valve core 12 moves downward again, the STL valve core sealing pair 31 and the STL valve seat sealing pair 30 realize a hard sealing pair. During the whole process, the soft sealing O-ring B9 is protected and not eroded by the medium.
[0025] When the vent valve described in the present invention is implemented; during the valve opening process, whether it is partially opened or fully opened, the STL valve core sealing pair 31 and the STL valve seat sealing pair 30 are not eroded by the medium, and the piston sleeve erosion surface 33 is higher than the STL valve seat sealing pair 30 to protect the STL valve seat sealing pair 30. When the valve is fully opened, the STL valve core sealing pair 31 is completely hidden in the valve core sleeve 16 and is not eroded.
[0026] When the vent valve described in the present invention is implemented, the valve core balance hole 32 plays a balancing role, and the pressures in the upper and lower chambers of the valve core 12 are balanced, so that the valve opening and closing torque is small, and the valve core throttling cone 35 plays a primary throttling and pressure reduction role in the opening and venting process, and the throttling hole of the valve core sleeve 16 plays a secondary throttling role, so that the venting pressure is reduced to protect the downstream venting equipment.
[0027] The vent valve described in the present invention has a hard and soft dual-material sealing pair, and is designed and manufactured with a protected sealing pair; since the medium in the venting and discharge is natural gas, the valve is required to have throttling, cut-off, and venting functions, and since natural gas is a flammable and explosive high-risk medium, this requires that the valve's cut-off function achieve zero leakage when closed, and since the valve is a throttling venting, the valve design is required to have a hidden protective structure for the sealing pair.
[0028] Therefore, for this application, the valve structure is designed as a valve core balance cage structure. It mainly consists of a valve body 5, a valve core 12, a valve seat 10, a piston sleeve 8, a spring 7, a spring seat 6, a valve core sleeve 16, a valve stem 17, a valve cover 19, etc. When the valve is in the closed position, the STL valve core seal pair 31 and the STL valve seat seal pair 30 realize a hard seal; the O-ring 11 and the valve core 12 realize a soft seal, and the valve realizes a hard and soft dual-quality seal to achieve zero leakage.
[0029] The spring seat 6, springs 7, 8, piston sleeve 8, O-ring 9, and hexagon socket bolt 29 form a whole to protect the O-ring 9. When the valve starts to open from closed, the valve core 12 moves upward, and the piston sleeve 8 also moves upward synchronously with the valve core 12 under the action of the spring 7. After the valve core 12 is separated from the protective O-ring 9, the piston sleeve 8 contacts the O-ring B9 to protect the protective O-ring B9. When the valve core 12 completely leaves the piston sleeve flushing surface 33 of the piston sleeve 8, the piston sleeve positioning surface 34 prevents the piston sleeve from moving upward; when the valve changes from an open state to a closed state, the valve core 12 moves downward, and when it moves to the lower end surface of the valve core 12 and contacts the piston sleeve flushing surface 33, the valve core 12 will push the piston sleeve 8 to move downward, and the valve core 12 and the protective O-ring 9 first form a soft sealing pair, and when the valve core 12 moves downward again, the STL valve core sealing pair 31 and the STL valve seat sealing pair 30 realize a hard sealing pair. During the whole process, the soft seal protection O-ring 9 is protected and is not eroded by the medium.
[0030] Depend on Figure 2-Figure 3 It can be seen that during the valve opening process, whether it is partially opened or fully opened, the STL valve core sealing pair 31 and the STL valve seat sealing pair 30 are not eroded by the medium, and the piston sleeve erosion surface 33 is higher than the STL valve seat sealing pair 30 to protect the STL valve seat sealing pair 30. When the valve is fully opened, the STL valve core sealing pair 31 is completely hidden in the valve core sleeve 16 and is not eroded.
[0031] The valve core balance hole 32 plays a balancing role, and the pressures in the upper and lower chambers of the valve core 12 are balanced, so that the valve opening and closing torque is small. The valve core throttling cone 35 plays a primary throttling and pressure reduction role in the opening and venting process, and the throttling hole of the valve core sleeve 16 plays a secondary throttling role, which reduces the venting pressure and protects the downstream venting equipment.
