DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-3A pressure-adjustable high-to-low pressure gas supply device, comprising a gas supply tank 1, four gas supply pipes 2 fixedly arranged at the rear side of the top of the gas supply tank 1, a gas supply mechanism flange-connected with the gas supply pipes 2, and a valve 3 fixedly installed on the front side of each of the four gas supply pipes 2. The valve 3 is a pipeline accessory for opening and closing a pipeline, controlling flow direction, adjusting and controlling parameters (temperature, pressure and flow) of a conveying medium, and is a control component in a pipeline fluid conveying system for changing a passage section and a medium flow direction, and has the functions of flow guiding, cutting off, throttling, non-return, shunting or overflow pressure relief. The valve 3 is a shut-off ball valve, the valve core of the ball valve is a perforated ball, the valve core is fully open when the perforation of the ball body is aligned with the pipeline axis, and is fully closed when it is turned by 90°. The ball valve has certain adjusting performance and is tightly closed. Before installation of the valve, it is necessary to carefully check whether the type and specification of the valve used are consistent with the design, and to check whether the valve can be applied under the required conditions according to the type and factory instruction manual of the valve. When installing the valve, the forced alignment connection method of pulling hard should not be used to avoid damage caused by uneven force. The working pressure of the valve should be greater than the working pressure of the pipeline, and the sealing performance of the valve refers to the ability of the sealing parts of the valve to prevent leakage of the medium, which is the most important technical performance index of the valve. The sealing parts of the valve are three: the contact between the opening and closing element and the valve seat; the cooperation between the packing and the valve stem and the packing box; and the connection between the valve body and the valve cover. The leakage between the first two places is called internal leakage, which will affect the ability of the valve to cut off the medium. For shut-off valves, internal leakage is not allowed. The leakage between the last two places is called external leakage, i.e. leakage of the medium from the inside of the valve to the outside of the valve. External leakage will cause material loss, environmental pollution and even accidents in severe cases. For flammable, explosive, toxic or radioactive media, external leakage is not allowed. Therefore, the valve must have reliable sealing performance.

[0023] The front end of the valve 3 is threaded with a pressure reducing valve 4, which is a valve that reduces the inlet pressure to a desired outlet pressure by adjusting and relies on the energy of the medium itself to automatically maintain the outlet pressure stable. It is a throttling element with variable local resistance, that is, by changing the throttling area, the flow rate and the kinetic energy of the fluid change, causing different pressure losses, thereby achieving pressure reduction, and then relying on the adjustment of the control and adjustment system to balance the fluctuations in the pressure behind the valve with the spring force, so that the pressure behind the valve remains constant within a certain error range; When operating, close the gate valve in front of the pressure reducing valve and open the gate valve behind the pressure reducing valve to create a low pressure environment downstream, rotate the adjusting screw counterclockwise to the uppermost position (relative to the lowest outlet pressure), then close the gate valve behind the pressure reducing valve, slowly open the gate valve in front of the pressure reducing valve to full open, and slowly rotate the adjusting screw clockwise to adjust the outlet pressure to the required pressure (based on the pressure behind the valve), and then lock the screw nut, open the gate valve behind the pressure reducing valve. If the outlet pressure is higher than the set pressure during adjustment, it must be adjusted from the first step, that is, it can only be adjusted from low pressure to high pressure.
