AI Technical Summary
The valve core sealing surface of existing spring-loaded safety valves is prone to deformation during the grinding process, resulting in poor sealing, increased thrust of the medium on the valve core, inaccurate safety valve setting, and easy arbitrary seat opening.
The inner and outer rings of the grinding ring form a 1° angle difference with the radial plane. A guide bracket is connected around the outer ring of the grinding ring, and a rolling bearing is installed inside the guide bracket. The rolling bearing contacts the outer surface of the valve core to form a line seal and adjust the concentricity to be consistent.
This achieves a line seal between the inner ring of the valve core and the inner ring of the valve seat, reducing the unidirectional thrust of steam on the valve core, preventing the safety valve from arbitrarily opening and closing, and ensuring consistent flatness of the sealing surface.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of safety valve grinding technology, and more particularly to a grinding disc for a rigid line-seal safety valve. Background Technology
[0002] Spring-loaded safety valves are safety protection valves that typically operate under pressures close to their set value.
[0003] Because the sealing type of the valve core and valve seat of a common spring safety valve is a rigid planar seal, the thrust of the medium acting on the valve core during normal operation balances most of the spring force. The pressure of the valve core acting on the valve seat is very small, and the pressure spread on the sealing plane is also very small, so leakage is very likely to occur.
[0004] Furthermore, during grinding, flat sealing surfaces can also exhibit a radial pattern where the center is higher than the edges, making it impossible to achieve a perfectly smooth surface regardless of the surface finish. When sandpaper or abrasive is compressed and dispersed outwards, the abrasive particles at the edges become thicker than in the center. Additionally, the linear velocities within and outside the sealing surface are inconsistent during grinding, preventing the creation of a perfectly flat surface. Currently, safety valve testing methods rely on cold-state calibration, where the valve's seat pressure is calculated by measuring the thrust from the inner ring area of the valve core's sealing surface. When the inner ring of the valve core's sealing surface becomes lower, the thrust exerted by the medium on the valve core increases, making the safety valve's setpoint inaccurate and increasing the likelihood of seat failure. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the technical problem mentioned above, where the lowering of the inner ring of the valve core sealing surface increases the thrust exerted by the medium on the valve core, leading to inaccurate safety valve settings and increased likelihood of valve malfunction, this invention provides a rigid line-seal safety valve grinding disc. This invention primarily utilizes the 1° angle difference between the inner and outer rings of the grinding ring and the radial plane to prevent the safety valve from malfunctioning.
[0006] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows:
[0007] A grinding disc for a rigid line-seal safety valve includes a grinding ring, which comprises an inner ring and an outer ring. The outer height of the grinding ring is higher than the inner height. The inner and outer rings of the grinding ring form an angle difference α with a radial plane. Several sets of guide brackets are connected around the outer ring of the grinding ring, and rolling bearings are installed in the guide brackets.
[0008] Furthermore, the number of guide supports is three, and the guide supports are evenly distributed around the grinding ring, with the three sets of guide supports being concentrically distributed.
[0009] Furthermore, the guide bracket is connected to the outer ring of the grinding ring by bolts.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the rolling bearing is in contact with the outer surface of the valve core.
[0011] Furthermore, the value of α is 1.
[0012] Furthermore, the grinding ring is made of aluminum alloy.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide bracket is made of aluminum alloy.
[0014] Furthermore, a grinding disc is formed by placing sandpaper or abrasive on the grinding ring, and the grinding disc is placed above the valve seat.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] The rigid line-seal safety valve grinding disc provided by the present invention forms a 1° angle difference between the inner and outer rings of the grinding ring and the radial plane, so that the inner ring of the valve core and the inner ring of the valve seat achieve a line seal after grinding. The close proximity of the line seal does not increase the unidirectional thrust area of steam on the valve core, so that the safety valve will not sit up arbitrarily.
[0017] The rigid line-sealed safety valve grinding disc provided by the present invention has three sets of concentric guide brackets, which are evenly distributed around the grinding disc, making it easy to adjust to ensure that the flatness of the four sides is consistent, and the concentricity can be adjusted at will.
[0018] The rigid line-seal safety valve grinding disc provided by this invention has the outer surface of the rolling bearing in contact with the outer surface of the valve core, which can accurately position the valve while reducing friction. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this invention provides a grinding disc for a rigid line-seal safety valve, including a grinding ring 1 made of aluminum alloy. The outer height of the grinding ring 1 is higher than its inner height. The grinding ring 1 includes an inner ring 2 and an outer ring 3, with a 1° angle difference between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3. Sandpaper or abrasive is placed on the grinding ring 1 to form a grinding disc, which is placed above a valve seat 7. Three sets of concentric guide brackets 4, made of aluminum alloy, are evenly distributed around the grinding ring 1 and connected to the outer ring 3 with bolts. This facilitates adjustment to ensure uniform flatness around the ring and allows for easy adjustment of concentricity. Each set of guide brackets 4 contains a rolling bearing 5, the outer ring of which contacts the outer ring of the valve core 6, providing precise positioning while reducing friction.
[0032] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the working process of the present invention is as follows: the grinding disc 1 of the present invention is set above the valve seat 7. When working, after the lower sealing surface of the valve core 6 acts on the grinding disc 1 on the valve seat 7, the grinding disc 1 grinds the valve core 6 to form a sealing surface, so that after grinding, the inner ring of the valve core 6 and the inner ring of the valve seat 7 achieve a line seal, which will not increase the unidirectional thrust area of steam on the valve core 6, so that the safety valve will not be opened arbitrarily.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
