AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Low-pressure safety valves struggle to provide sufficient lift under low pressure differential and low flow rate conditions, causing the valve disc assembly to fail to fully open, thus affecting flow capacity and operational stability.

Method used

The structure employs turbine blades, a support ring, and a push rod. The turbine blades drive the push rod to rotate, causing it to move upward relative to the nut sleeve, providing additional lift. Combined with a PTFE coating to reduce friction, this ensures that the push rod smoothly lifts the valve disc assembly, and the sealing pressure is adjusted via a counterweight plate.

Benefits of technology

Under low pressure differential and low flow rate conditions, the valve disc assembly was fully opened, improving flow capacity and operational stability, avoiding low-temperature freezing and resonance, and ensuring the reliability and smooth operation of the valve.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of low-pressure safety valves, in particular to a low-pressure safety valve with auxiliary full-opening function. BACKGROUND

[0002] A low-pressure safety valve is a valve that can ensure that the space of a storage tank is isolated from the atmosphere within a certain pressure range and can be communicated with the atmosphere (breathing) when the pressure exceeds or is lower than the range, and its function is to prevent the destruction of the storage tank due to overpressure or vacuum, and to reduce the evaporation loss of the stored liquid.

[0003] A low-pressure safety valve is used to maintain the pressure balance of a storage tank, and its principle is to use the weight of the valve disc assembly and the counterweight disc to control the exhaust positive pressure and the suction negative pressure of the storage tank. When the pressure in the tank rises to the operating positive pressure of the low-pressure safety valve, the valve opens, and the gas escapes from the low-pressure safety valve outlet, so that the pressure in the tank no longer continues to rise. When the pressure in the tank decreases to the operating negative pressure of the low-pressure safety valve, the atmosphere outside the tank will open the valve disc assembly of the suction valve, so that the outside air enters the tank, so that the pressure in the tank no longer continues to decrease, and the pressure balance between the inside and outside of the tank is achieved to protect the storage tank.

[0004] Unlike conventional high-pressure safety valves, since the pressure of the storage tank can be lower than atmospheric pressure or higher than atmospheric pressure, the low-pressure safety valve often appears in the form of a valve group: a breathing valve group, the principles of the exhaust valve and the suction valve are basically the same, only the installation direction is opposite, and the following description takes the exhaust valve as an example:

[0005] A conventional safety valve is generally provided with a backflush disc, which makes the ejected gas flow turn to obtain a larger lifting force of the valve disc assembly, reaches the full opening height, and adjusts the discharge pressure and the opening and closing pressure difference by means of the backflush disc adjusting ring, and its action characteristic is two-stage action, the discharge capacity is large and the action is stable, but the low-pressure safety valve cannot obtain much lifting force due to the low medium pressure difference and slow medium flow rate.

[0024] When the turbine blades 82 drive the top rod 8 to rotate to move the top rod 8 upward relative to the nut sleeve 9, the top rod 8 is used to upwardly lift the valve clapper assembly 3.

[0025] The top rod 8 is provided with a pointed end structure; through the adoption of the structure, the friction between the top rod and the valve clapper assembly can be reduced, so that the top rod can be more reliably and smoothly rotated relative to the valve clapper assembly and the nut sleeve, and the top rod can more smoothly lift the valve clapper assembly.
