Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of shut-off valve technology, and more specifically to a valve shut-off tool. Background Technology
[0002] A shut-off valve, also known as an installation shut-off valve, is connected to a combustible gas leak monitoring instrument. When the instrument detects a combustible gas leak, it automatically and quickly closes the main gas supply valve, cutting off the gas supply and preventing serious accidents. It can also be connected to the limit temperature (pressure) safety controller of thermal equipment. When the temperature (pressure) at the detection point inside the equipment exceeds the set limit value, it automatically and quickly closes the gas supply valve, stopping the fuel supply. Furthermore, it can be connected to the central fire alarm system of high-rise buildings. When a fire occurs in the building, it automatically cuts off the gas supply to prevent gas explosions. ZCR emergency gas shut-off valves installed in urban or factory gas supply networks can be centrally controlled in a central control room, allowing for remote emergency shut-off of the gas supply to the accident site. As a key piece of equipment in stations, shut-off valves are widely used in stations such as the Shaanxi-Beijing pipeline due to their stable performance and simple operation. However, precisely because of the importance of this type of equipment, the accuracy of its shut-off value setting and testing is crucial.
[0003] In the past, the setting and testing of the cut-off value of traditional shut-off valves required closing the ball valve at the outlet of the branch under test and adjusting the pressure through a pressure regulating valve. After adjustment, the pressure gauge was used to observe whether the pressure value reached the required cut-off value. However, during the adjustment and setting process, the low accuracy of the pressure gauge, pressure fluctuations during the adjustment process, and the operator's observation angle caused errors in the setting of the cut-off value, resulting in inaccurate setting of the cut-off value. Therefore, a valve shut-off tool is needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a valve shut-off tool that solves the problem of ***.

[0044] Working principle: Please refer to Figures 1-7As shown, during use, by setting the lifting rod 9, the pressure setting box 1 is moved to the working point by pulling the lifting rod 9. Then, the male and female hook-and-loop fasteners 7 and the protective cover 2 are opened. The conversion tool 3 and the connecting hose 4 are taken out from the inside of the placement box 5, and the two ends of the connecting hose 4 are connected to the first hose connector 313 and the second hose connector 11 respectively.
