[0041] Example 1
[0042] A containment isolation check valve, with reference toFigure 1 , comprising a first valve body 1, a valve disc 2 and a support seat 3. Wherein,
[0043] The first valve body 1 has a first flow passage 11 and a first valve cavity 12 which are in communication with each other. The first valve cavity 12 is smoothly connected with the first flow passage 11 through a taper surface, and the taper surface changes the cross-sectional area of the passage to achieve the effect of adjusting the flow and pressure.
[0044] The valve disc 2 has a throttling part 21, a check part 22 and a guide part 23 which are arranged in sequence along the direction of medium flow;
[0045] The throttling part 21 is sleeved in the first flow passage 11, and the diameter of the throttling part 21 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first flow passage 11, so that an annular throttling passage is formed between the throttling part 21 and the first flow passage 11;
[0046] The check part 22 is arranged in the first valve cavity 12, and the diameter of the check part 22 is larger than the inner diameter of the first flow passage 11, which is used to block the first flow passage 11 to prevent the backflow of the medium; the check part 22 is tapered in diameter along the direction of medium flow to form a tapered sealing surface, and the maximum diameter of the tapered sealing surface is larger than the inner diameter of the first flow passage 11.
[0047] In this embodiment, the guide part 23 is a cylinder.
[0048] When the medium flows forward, the valve disc 2 moves under the push of the medium to connect the first flow passage 11 and the first valve cavity 12, and the valve disc 2 is opened; when the medium flows reversely and flows through the valve disc 2, the valve disc 2 is pushed back to the seat until the check part 22 of the valve disc 2 blocks the first flow passage 11 to block the communication between the first flow passage 11 and the first valve cavity 12, and the valve disc 2 is closed to prevent the backflow of the medium.
[0049] The support seat 3 is arranged in the first valve cavity 12 and coaxially arranged with the first valve body 1; the support seat 3 is sequentially provided with a guide matching part 31 and a backflow guiding part 32 along the flow direction of the medium,
[0050] The guide matching part 31 cooperates with the guide part 23 of the valve disc 2 to guide the valve disc 2 to move along the axis of the first valve body 1; the guide matching part 31 is provided with a guide hole matched with the guide part 23, and the guide part 23 is sleeved in the guide hole; of course, the guide part 23 can be other structures, such as a cuboid or a hexagonal prism, and the guide hole of the guide matching part 31 cooperates with the structure of the guide part 23 to guide the valve disc 2 to move along the axis of the first valve body 1.
[0051] The backflow drainage part 32 has a horn-shaped cavity suitable for collecting backflow medium, the cavity of the backflow drainage part 32 gradually expands in the inner diameter along the medium flow direction, and the cavity is communicated with the guide hole at one end close to the guide hole. This is conducive to collecting the backflow medium into the cavity, improving the backseat force of the valve disc 2, and pushing the valve disc 2 to backseat until the first flow passage 11 is blocked, so as to realize the closing of the valve disc 2.
[0052] The support seat 3 is provided with a flow hole 33 communicated with the first valve cavity 12, and the flow hole 33 is arranged in parallel with the axis of the first valve body 1. In the embodiment, the flow hole 33 is provided with two and is arranged on the support seat 3 in axial symmetry with the axis of the first valve body 1.
[0053] In the embodiment, the containment isolation check valve further comprises a limiting structure arranged in the first valve body 1, and the support seat 3 abuts against the limiting structure.
[0054] The limiting structure comprises a limiting block ring 4 arranged in the first valve cavity 12 and a limiting shoulder 5 arranged on the inner wall of the first valve cavity 12, and the side of the backflow drainage part 32 close to the first flow passage 11 is provided with a limiting end face, and the limiting end face of the backflow drainage part 32 abuts against the limiting shoulder 5 on the inner wall of the first valve cavity 12; a ring-shaped limiting groove is arranged on the inner wall of the first valve cavity 12, and the limiting block ring 4 is clamped in the limiting groove, and the limiting shoulder 5 and the limiting block ring 4 limit the support seat 3 on both sides.
[0055] In the embodiment, the containment isolation check valve further comprises a second valve body 6, the second valve body 6 is provided with a second valve cavity 61 and a second flow passage 62 communicated with each other, and the second valve cavity 61 is butted and communicated with the first valve cavity 12. The first valve body 1 and the second valve body 6 are directly welded, and the valve as a whole requires no external leakage point.
[0056] The axis of the second valve body 6 is arranged in line with the axis of the first valve body 1.
[0057] The containment isolation check valve provided by the application can be normally opened at a very small flow rate, and because the spring is removed, there is no noise, abnormal sound and abnormal vibration during operation. When backflowing in reverse, the valve disc 2 can stably backseat at a very small pressure difference and reach a certain sealing leakage level, and the sealing performance is stable.
[0058] As an alternative embodiment, the valve disc only comprises the check part 22 and the guide part 23.
[0059] As an alternative embodiment, the cavity of the backflow drainage part is a stepped shape gradually expanding in the inner diameter along the medium flow direction.
[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely example for clearly illustrating but not limitation to the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments need not and can not be enumerated. The obvious changes or variations derived from the above description are still within the protection scope of the present application.
