AI Technical Summary
Existing high-pressure air shut-off check valves suffer from problems such as difficulty in controlling assembly quality, low yield, and poor maintainability during the gasket assembly process. In particular, soft-seal valves require high operating force and have insufficient check seal reliability.
A shut-off check valve was designed. By setting a positioning hole on the valve head to accommodate the sealing gasket, and using the stud of the valve disc to connect with the valve head by thread, the outer conical surface radially compresses the sealing gasket, causing the sealing gasket material to plastically deform and press into the annular groove, thereby achieving axial fixation of the sealing gasket, improving assembly quality and yield.
This enables controlled assembly of the gasket, improves yield and maintainability, reduces operating force, and enhances the reliability of the check seal.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of shut-off valve technology, and in particular to a shut-off check valve. Background Technology
[0002] High-pressure air shut-off check valves have long suffered from issues such as easy damage to the main sealing surface, excessive operating force, and insufficient reliability of the check seal, all of which require further solutions. Hard-seal high-pressure air shut-off check valves have lower operating forces but lower resistance to contamination. When the cleanliness of the medium is not high, the main sealing surface is easily damaged, and the reliability of the check seal is insufficient.
[0003] Existing soft-seal high-pressure air shut-off check valves offer high resistance to contamination, but the gaskets are typically assembled using molding or pressing processes, making it difficult to ensure gasket assembly quality, resulting in low yield and poor maintainability. Because soft-seal gaskets have a lower allowable sealing specific pressure, the sealing surface is usually wider, leading to higher valve operating forces and insufficient check seal reliability.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in this application include:
[0032] This application provides a shut-off check valve. The shut-off check valve includes a valve body with an inlet channel and an outlet channel, and a valve cavity connecting the inlet and outlet channels. A valve head is located within the valve cavity and moves towards and away from the inlet channel. The end of the valve head near the inlet channel has a positioning hole for accommodating a sealing gasket, and the positioning hole contains a sealing gasket that shuts off the inlet and outlet channels.

Compared with sealing gaskets assembled by molding or pressing processes, the assembly quality of this application is controllable, the yield is high, and the maintainability is good.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0050] This application provides a shut-off check valve that solves the problems in related technologies where the sealing gasket is usually assembled using molding or encapsulation processes, which makes it difficult to ensure the assembly quality of the sealing gasket, and results in low yield and poor maintainability.
[0051] See Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 8 As shown, this application embodiment provides a shut-off check valve, including:
[0052] The valve body 1 has an inlet channel 2 and an outlet channel 3, which are perpendicular to each other. The valve body 1 also has a valve cavity 4 connecting the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3, with the axis of the valve cavity 4 collinear with the axis of the inlet channel 2. A valve head 5, a valve disc 6, and a sealing gasket 7 are installed in the valve cavity 4 to control the connection and disconnection between the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3.
[0053] A valve head 5 is located within a valve cavity 4 and moves within the cavity towards and away from the inlet channel 2. A positioning hole 34 for accommodating a sealing gasket 7 is provided at the end of the valve head 5 closest to the inlet channel 2. The sealing gasket 7, which blocks the flow between the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3, is located within the positioning hole 34. As the sealing gasket 7 moves with the valve head 5 towards the inlet channel 2, it reduces the flow area between the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3.
[0054] The valve disc 6 is located within the valve cavity 4, with one end extending into and slidably connected to the inlet channel 2. The end of the valve disc 6 away from the inlet channel 2 has an outer conical surface 40 that mates with the sealing gasket 7, and a stud 41 that extends into and is threadedly connected to the valve head 5. The slidable connection of one end of the valve disc 6 to the inlet channel 2 provides movement guidance for the valve head 5. The valve disc 6 is threadedly connected to the valve head 5 via the stud 41 to fix the sealing gasket 7 onto the valve head 5.
[0055] The valve disc 6 has an outer conical surface 40 that mates with the sealing gasket 7. The diameter of the outer conical surface 40 gradually increases in the direction away from the valve head 5, so that after the sealing gasket 7 is fitted onto the outer conical surface 40 and threadedly fastened to the valve head 5 by the stud 41, the outer conical surface 40 reliably connects the sealing gasket 7 to the valve head 5 by pressing it axially and radially. The sealing gasket 7 facilitates assembly, maintenance, and replacement, thus improving the service life of the control valve.
[0056] The shut-off check valve of this application embodiment has a positioning hole 34 on the valve head 5 to accommodate the sealing gasket 7, and the sealing gasket 7 is assembled onto the valve head 5 using the valve disc 6. When the sealing gasket 7 is assembled into the positioning hole 34 of the valve head 5, the stud 41 of the valve disc 6 is threadedly fixed to the valve head 5, and the outer conical surface 40 of the valve disc 6 radially compresses the sealing gasket 7, causing the material of the sealing gasket 7 to be pressed into the annular groove 37 of the valve head 5 due to radial plastic deformation, thereby achieving a seal between the valve head 5 and the sealing gasket 7 due to the compressive force, and realizing the axial fixation of the sealing gasket 7.
[0057] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 8As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a shut-off check valve. The sealing gasket 7 of the shut-off check valve is an annular flexible gasket, and the inner hole of the sealing gasket 7 is provided with an inner conical surface 38 that mates with the outer conical surface 40. The positioning hole 34 has a plurality of annular protrusions or annular grooves 37 that mate with the outer wall of the sealing gasket 7. The annular protrusions or annular grooves 37 increase the friction between the hole walls of the positioning hole 34 of the sealing gasket 7 and improve the structural stability between the sealing gasket 7 and the valve head 5.
[0058] An annular sealing surface 31 extending into the valve cavity 4 is provided at one end of the inlet channel 2 near the valve cavity 4. The annular sealing surface 31 is used for sealing connection with the sealing gasket 7. When the annular sealing surface 31 is used for sealing connection with the sealing gasket 7, it blocks the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3. A guide hole 39 is provided at one end of the valve disc 6 near the inlet channel 2 to allow the medium in the inlet channel 2 to enter the valve cavity 4. The guide hole 39 includes an axial hole communicating with the inlet channel 2 and a plurality of radial holes located around the axial hole.
[0059] The sealing gasket 7 in this embodiment has an inner conical surface 38 that mates with the outer conical surface 40. The inner diameter of the inner conical surface 38 gradually increases in the direction approaching the valve head 5. The inner conical surface 38 and the outer conical surface 40 cooperate with each other to restrict the sealing gasket 7 from sliding on the valve disc 6. The positioning hole 34 has a plurality of annular protrusions or annular grooves 37 that mate with the outer wall of the sealing gasket 7 to increase the friction between the sealing gasket 7 and the valve head 5 and restrict the sealing gasket 7 from sliding on the valve head 5.
[0060] The valve disc 6 has a guide hole 39 at one end near the inlet channel 2 to allow the medium in the inlet channel 2 to enter the valve cavity 4. When the guide hole 39 of the valve disc 6 is completely located in the inlet channel 2, the guide hole 39 is blocked by the inlet channel 2. At this time, the valve disc 6 has largely blocked the medium from entering the valve cavity 4 from the inlet channel 2.
[0061] To further improve the sealing performance between the valve disc 6 and the inlet channel 2, an annular sealing surface 31 is provided at one end of the inlet channel 2 near the valve cavity 4, which is sealed and connected to the sealing gasket 7. When the annular sealing surface 31 and the sealing gasket 7 are pressed together, the medium in the inlet channel 2 is completely blocked from entering the valve cavity 4, thus improving the sealing performance of the shut-off check valve.
[0062] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, this application embodiment provides a shut-off check valve, which further includes a lower valve stem 8 that drives the valve head 5 to move in the valve chamber 4 in a direction approaching and away from the inlet channel 2, with the top of the lower valve stem 8 extending outside the valve body 1.
[0063] The valve head 5 is a hollow cylindrical structure extending vertically. Inside the valve head 5, there is a first shoulder 36 that mates with the lower valve stem 8, and an internal thread 35 that is threaded to the stud 41. The bottom of the lower valve stem 8 is slidably connected to the valve head 5 and has a first shoulder 43 that abuts against the first shoulder 36. The lower valve stem 8 drives the valve head 5 and the valve disc 6 to move vertically up and down through vertical movement.
[0064] When the valve stem 8 moves downwards, causing the valve head 5 and valve disc 6 to move closer to the inlet channel 2, the guide hole 39 of the valve disc 6 gradually enters the inlet channel 2. When the guide hole 39 is completely within the inlet channel 2, it is blocked, achieving most of the throttling. When the sealing gasket 7 presses against the annular sealing surface 31, it completely blocks the medium in the inlet channel 2 from entering the valve chamber 4, thus achieving the closing action of the check valve.
[0065] When the valve stem 8 moves upward, causing the valve head 5 and valve disc 6 to move away from the inlet channel 2, the sealing gasket 7 disengages from the annular sealing surface 31, and a small portion of the medium in the inlet channel 2 begins to enter the valve chamber 4. As the guide hole 39 of the valve disc 6 gradually slides out of the inlet channel 2, the guide hole 39 is opened by the inlet channel 2 to increase the amount of medium entering the valve chamber 4, thus realizing the opening action of the shut-off check valve.
[0066] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a shut-off check valve, which further includes a bushing 9 fixed to the valve body 1 and sealing the valve cavity 4. The bushing 9 is slidably and sealingly connected to the lower valve stem 8. An elastic element 10 is provided between the bushing 9 and the valve head 5 to elastically drive the valve head 5 to move towards the inlet channel 2. The bushing 9 is sealed to the inner wall of the valve cavity 4, and an annular spring seat plate 11 is provided between the elastic element 10 and the bushing 9.
[0067] In this embodiment, a bushing 9 is fixedly provided on the valve body 1 to seal the valve cavity 4. The bushing 9 extends into the valve cavity 4, and the bushing 9 makes the valve cavity 4 form a sealed cavity. When the medium pressure in the valve cavity 4 is greater than the medium pressure in the inlet channel 2, the medium in the valve cavity 4 pushes the valve head 5, the sealing gasket 7 and the valve disc 6 to close the inlet channel 2.
[0068] An elastic element 10 is provided between the bushing 9 and the valve head 5 to elastically drive the valve head 5 to move toward the inlet channel 2. The elastic element 10 is used to push the valve head 5, the sealing gasket 7 and the valve disc 6 to quickly close the inlet channel 2 when the medium pressure in the valve chamber 4 is greater than the medium pressure in the inlet channel 2. On the other hand, it reduces the operating force of the lower valve stem 8.
[0069] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, this application embodiment provides a shut-off check valve. A balance piston 12 is slidably and sealingly connected inside the bushing 9 of the shut-off check valve. The balance piston 12 is located at the top of the valve head 5 and abuts against the valve head 5. The lower valve stem 8 is coaxially and slidably and sealingly connected to the balance piston 12.
[0070] A closed balance chamber 14 is formed between the balance piston 12 and the bushing 9. Balance channels are provided on the valve disc 6 and the lower valve stem 8 to allow the medium in the inlet channel 2 to enter the balance chamber 14. The balance channels include a first balance channel 42 provided on the valve disc 6 and a second balance channel 45 provided on the lower valve stem 8. The first balance channel 42 and the second balance channel 45 are interconnected.
[0071] In this embodiment, a balance piston 12 is slidably and sealingly connected inside the bushing 9. A closed balance chamber 14 is formed between the balance piston 12 and the bushing 9. The balance chamber 14 is connected to the inlet channel 2 through the balance channel. The medium located in the inlet channel 2 enters the balance chamber 14 through the balance channel and pushes the balance piston 12 down to press down the valve head 5, thereby reducing the operating force of the lower valve stem 8 and realizing the rapid closing action of the shut-off check valve.
[0072] To improve the sealing performance between the bushing 9 and the balance piston 12, a fourth seal 33 is provided between the bushing 9 and the balance piston 12. To improve the sealing performance between the bushing 9 and the inner wall of the valve cavity 4, a third seal 32 is provided between the bushing 9 and the inner wall of the valve cavity 4. To improve the sealing performance between the balance piston 12 and the lower valve stem 8, a first seal 15 is provided between the balance piston 12 and the lower valve stem 8.
[0073] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a shut-off check valve is provided. The lower valve stem 8 of this shut-off check valve has a second shoulder 44 at one end near the first shoulder 43, which abuts against the balance piston 12. The outer diameter of the second shoulder 44 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first shoulder 43. The second shoulder 44 is slidably sealed to the valve head 5. A gap 13 is pre-set between the first shoulder 43 and the first shoulder 36 to allow the valve head 5 to move in directions approaching and away from the inlet channel 2.
[0074] In this embodiment, a second shoulder 44 is provided on the lower valve stem 8 near the first shoulder 43, which abuts against the balance piston 12. When the shut-off check valve is opened, the lower valve stem 8 uses the second shoulder 44 to drive the balance piston 12 upward, so that the balance piston disengages from the valve head 5. The medium in the inlet channel 2 pushes the valve head 5, valve disc 6, and sealing gasket 7 to move away from the inlet channel 2, thereby connecting the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3.
[0075] A gap 13 is preset between the first shoulder 43 and the first shoulder 36 to allow the valve head 5 to move in the direction of approaching and moving away from the inlet channel 2. This gap 13 is used to automatically shut off the valve head 5, valve disc 6 and sealing gasket 7 when the medium pressure in the valve chamber 4 is greater than the medium pressure in the inlet channel 2, by having the medium in the valve chamber 4 push the medium in the valve chamber 4 to move in the direction of approaching the inlet channel 2.
[0076] When the medium pressure in valve chamber 4 is less than the medium pressure in inlet channel 2, the medium in inlet channel 2 pushes valve head 5, valve disc 6 and sealing gasket 7 to move away from inlet channel 2 to achieve automatic opening.
[0077] To improve the sealing performance between the valve head 5 and the lower valve stem 8, a second seal 16 is provided between the valve head 5 and the second shoulder 44. To improve the sealing performance between the bushing 9 and the lower valve stem 8, a fifth seal is provided between the bushing 9 and the lower valve stem 8.
[0078] In some alternative embodiments: see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 9 to 12 As shown, this application embodiment provides a shut-off check valve, which further includes a valve frame 17 for fixing a bushing 9 to a valve body 1. The valve frame 17 is fixed to the valve body 1 by a double-ended bolt 18.
[0079] A middle valve stem 20, which connects to the lower valve stem 8, is slidably mounted inside the valve frame 17. A T-shaped head 46, which connects to the middle valve stem 20, is located at the top of the lower valve stem 8. A T-shaped groove 52, which connects to the T-shaped head 46, is located at the bottom of the middle valve stem 20. The middle valve stem 20 drives the lower valve stem 8 to move up and down.
[0080] An anti-rotation boss 50 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the middle valve stem 20, and a positioning groove 19 for sliding connection of the anti-rotation boss 50 is provided on the valve frame 17 along the axial direction of the middle valve stem 20. An upper valve stem 21 is also provided inside the valve frame 17 and is threadedly connected to the middle valve stem 20. The top of the upper valve stem 21 extends out of the valve frame 17 and is connected to a handwheel 28.
[0081] The upper valve stem 21 has a screw 47 at the end away from the handwheel 28, which is threadedly connected to the middle valve stem 20. The middle valve stem 20 has a threaded hole 51 at one end, which is connected to the screw 47. The screw 47 of the upper valve stem 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 51 of the middle valve stem 20, which converts the rotational motion of the upper valve stem 21 into linear motion that drives the lower valve stem 8 to rise and fall.
[0082] A third shoulder 48 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the upper valve stem 21. A second shoulder with an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the third shoulder 48 is provided inside the valve holder 17, and the second shoulder is located below the third shoulder 48. A first thrust bearing 23 is provided between the second shoulder and the third shoulder 48, and a second thrust bearing 22 is provided at the top of the third shoulder 48. The second shoulder and the third shoulder 48 restrict the axial movement of the upper valve stem 21.
[0083] A locking nut 27 is threaded onto the top of the upper valve stem 21. A gasket 26 and a first wave spring 25 are provided between the locking nut 27 and the second thrust bearing 22. A second wave spring 24 is provided between the first thrust bearing 23 and the third shoulder 48. The first wave spring 25 and the second wave spring 24 elastically support the first thrust bearing 23 and the second thrust bearing 22 in close contact with the second shoulder.
[0084] The top of the upper valve stem 21 is provided with a square prism 49 for connecting the handwheel 28. The top of the upper valve stem 21 is also provided with a cap nut 30 for fixing the handwheel 28 to the upper valve stem 21. A washer 29 is provided between the cap nut 30 and the handwheel 28. A cylindrical pin for connecting the upper valve stem 21 is also provided on the cap nut 30.
[0085] Working principle
[0086] This application provides a shut-off check valve. The shut-off check valve includes a valve body 1 with an inlet channel 2 and an outlet channel 3, and a valve cavity 4 connecting the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3. A valve head 5 is located within the valve cavity 4 and moves within it towards and away from the inlet channel 2. The end of the valve head 5 near the inlet channel 2 has a positioning hole 34 for accommodating a sealing gasket 7, and the positioning hole 34 contains a sealing gasket 7 that shuts off the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3. A valve disc 6 is located within the valve cavity 4, with one end extending into the inlet channel 2 and slidingly connected to it. The end of the valve disc 6 away from the inlet channel 2 has an outer conical surface 40 that mates with the sealing gasket 7, and a stud 41 that extends into the valve head 5 and is threadedly connected to it.
[0087] Therefore, the check valve of this application has a positioning hole 34 on the valve head 5 to accommodate the sealing gasket 7, and the sealing gasket 7 is assembled onto the valve head 5 using the valve disc 6. When the sealing gasket 7 is assembled into the positioning hole 34 of the valve head 5, the stud 41 of the valve disc 6 is threadedly fixed to the valve head 5, and the outer conical surface 40 of the valve disc 6 radially compresses the sealing gasket 7, causing the material of the sealing gasket 7 to be pressed into the annular groove 37 of the valve head 5 due to radial plastic deformation. This achieves a seal between the valve head 5 and the sealing gasket 7 due to the compressive force, thus realizing the axial fixation of the sealing gasket 7. Compared with sealing gaskets assembled by molding or encapsulation processes, the sealing gasket 7 assembled in this application has controllable assembly quality, high yield, and good maintainability.
