[0030] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a circular hollow sealing ring for a nuclear power valve, comprising: a sealing ring body 1, the sealing ring body 1 comprising an outer ring and an inner ring 2, the inner ring 2 of the sealing ring body 1 is provided with an inner sealing ring 3, the inner sealing ring 3 is solid, the inner sealing ring 3 is made of flexible graphite packing, the outer ring of the sealing ring body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 9, a middle sealing ring 6 is provided inside the mounting groove 9, a top sealing ring 4 is provided above the middle sealing ring 6, a bottom sealing ring 5 is provided below the middle sealing ring 6, the top sealing ring 4 and the bottom sealing ring 5 are both hollow, and the top sealing ring 4 and the bottom sealing ring 5 are respectively provided with a first hollow buffer The punching cavity 401 and the second hollow buffer cavity 501, a hollow cavity 707 is arranged inside the middle sealing ring 6, and a plurality of sealing components 7 are arranged inside the hollow cavity 707. The sealing ring body 1 is hollow, and a plurality of honeycomb hollow buffer chambers 8 are arranged inside the sealing ring body 1. Each hollow buffer chamber 8 is filled with thermoplastic resin. By arranging the honeycomb hollow buffer chamber 8 inside the sealing ring body 1, the pressure distribution of the seal can be improved, and the bearing capacity of the sealing ring can be increased. By filling the hollow buffer chamber 8 with thermoplastic resin, the sealing ring can be automatically repaired through high temperature or high pressure environment when it is micro-cracked or damaged, thereby improving the life and reliability of the sealing ring.

[0031] It should be further explained in this embodiment that the top sealing ring 4 and the bottom sealing ring 5 are both made of shape memory alloy, ensuring that they can adaptively adjust according to changes in pressure, temperature and radiation environment, thereby ensuring a long-term stable sealing effect, so that they can adaptively adjust according to changes in pressure, temperature and radiation environment, thereby ensuring a long-term stable sealing effect.

[0032] What needs to be further explained in this embodiment is that the first hollow buffer cavity 401 and the second hollow buffer cavity 501 are filled with radiation absorbers to enhance the sealing ring's tolerance to radiation. The sealing ring body 1 is made of fluororubber, and radiation absorbers and anti-aging additives are added to the fluororubber. Since the radiation environment of a nuclear power plant will accelerate the aging of materials, especially for elastomeric materials such as rubber and plastic, in order to improve the sealing ring's anti-radiation aging performance, radiation absorbers (such as carbon black, ceramic powder) can be added to enhance the sealing ring's tolerance to radiation.

[0033] In addition, ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers or other anti-aging additives can be used to further enhance the material's radiation and oxidation resistance, thereby reducing the risk of cracks or aging of the seal ring caused by radiation during long-term use.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, it is necessary to further explain that the sealing assembly 7 includes a solid sealing block 701, which is made of fluororubber and is located in the hollow cavity 707. A positioning block 702 is provided at one end of the solid sealing block 701 located in the hollow cavity 707. The positioning block 702 is integrally connected with the hollow cavity 707. A placement surface 703 is provided at the top and bottom of one end of the solid sealing block 701 located outside the middle sealing ring 6. The two placement surfaces 703 are respectively provided with a first fitting edge 704 and a second fitting edge 705. By setting the sealing assembly Component 7 can make the sealing performance of the middle sealing ring 6 better. When in use, the first fitting edge 704 and the second fitting edge 705 of the solid sealing ring are firmly fitted to the edge of the seal, so that the solid sealing block 701 seals the seal, thereby improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring. The first fitting edge 704 and the second fitting edge 705 are both integrally connected to the solid sealing block 701. By adding a top sealing ring 4 and a bottom sealing ring 5 above and below the middle sealing ring 6, the redundancy of the seal can be increased, the safety can be improved, and the decline in sealing performance due to the failure of one of the sealing rings can be avoided.

[0035] It should be further explained in this embodiment that a third hollow buffer cavity 706 is arranged inside the solid sealing block 701, and the interior of the third hollow buffer cavity 706 is filled with a filled thermoplastic resin. The surfaces of the top sealing ring 4, the bottom sealing ring 5, the middle sealing ring 6, the sealing ring body 1 and the solid sealing block 701 are all covered with a self-lubricating coating or are undergoing plasma surface treatment. The surfaces of the top sealing ring 4, the bottom sealing ring 5, the middle sealing ring 6, the sealing ring body 1 and the solid sealing block 701 are all covered with an anti-corrosion coating. By treating the surfaces of the top sealing ring 4, the bottom sealing ring 5, the middle sealing ring 6 and the sealing ring body 1, the surfaces of the sealing rings are made smooth and the friction coefficient is reduced, which can reduce wear during valve switching and improve its durability and sealing effect. The self-lubricating coating can effectively reduce friction, extend the service life of the sealing ring, and improve its performance at extreme temperatures. At the same time, a radiation absorber is added to improve the radiation aging resistance of the sealing ring to enhance the radiation tolerance of the sealing ring.

In order to make the public have a thorough understanding of the present invention, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments of the present invention, but those skilled in the art can fully understand the present invention without the description of these details. In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary confusion about the essence of the present invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components and circuits are not described in detail.

[0037] A person skilled in the art will appreciate that all or part of the steps in the above-mentioned embodiment method can be completed by instructing related hardware through a program, and the program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, such as ROM / RAM, a disk, an optical disk, etc.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
