Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of control valves, in particular to an ultra-low temperature stop valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ultra-low temperature stop valve is a valve specially used for harsh working conditions, usually working in a low-temperature environment. Compared with normal-temperature valves, the packing part of the valve is usually designed to be higher, and the valve stem is also a lengthened rod. In order to prevent deep cold deformation, the main parts of the ultra-low temperature stop valve are subjected to cryogenic treatment, which can ensure that the valve remains flexible in opening and closing under ultra-low temperature conditions.

[0003] The opening and closing part of the ultra-low temperature stop valve is a plug-shaped valve disc, the sealing surface is flat or conical, and the valve disc moves linearly along the center line of the valve seat. The valve stem can also be a lifting and rotating rod type for controlling the flow of various types of fluids such as air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal, and radioactive media. Therefore, this type of stop valve is very suitable for use as a cut-off valve.

[0004] In Chinese patent No. (CN118149108A), a manual ultra-low temperature stop valve is introduced, which specifically discloses a valve body assembly composed of a hand wheel, a valve stem, a connecting sleeve, and a valve disc. The valve body assembly is installed inside the body cover assembly, which is perpendicular to the pipeline and is installed on the pipeline through threads. The valve body assembly is composed of a valve disc, a valve stem, a connecting sleeve, and a hand wheel from bottom to top. However, the skilled person in the art found in actual operation that the stop valve cannot control the flow rate, and strong water hammer effect occurs during the opening and closing of the stop valve. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides an ultra-low temperature stop valve. By setting an air bag, the flow rate is adjusted by inflating and deflating the air bag. When the air bag is in a full gas state, the air bag completely blocks the liquid path. When the air in the air bag is exhausted, the liquid path is completely opened. Therefore, the inflation and deflation of the air bag can adjust the flow rate. By setting a baffle, the baffle blocks the liquid path, slows down the liquid flow, and avoids water hammer effect. When the liquid path passes through the baffle, part of the liquid path is blocked by the baffle and is impacted by the reaction force, thereby slowing down the liquid flow. When the liquid path passes through the baffle, the cross-sectional area suddenly increases, further slowing down the liquid flow, and further avoiding water hammer effect.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an ultra-low temperature shut-off valve, comprising a valve body, wherein a valve core for liquid circuit blocking control is installed on the valve body, the valve core is mounted on the valve body via a base, the base is mounted on the valve body via screws, and an adjustment structure for controlling flow rate by inflation is installed on the base, the adjustment structure comprising an air bladder for controlling liquid circuit flow rate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the valve body includes a valve shell, and flanges for connecting the valve shell are installed at both ends of the valve shell, and a sealing gasket is provided at the end of the valve shell.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the valve housing is provided with an inlet and an outlet at both ends, the inlet being lower than the outlet and connected to the outlet, a valve core being installed at the connection point, a cavity for receiving the valve core being provided above the connection point between the inlet and outlet, and a baffle being provided on the outlet.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the airbag is mounted inside the valve housing via a mounting base, and the airbag is connected to an air pipe for venting.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the trachea is provided with an installation cavity, the inner diameter of the installation cavity is larger than the inner diameter of the trachea, and a stopper is installed in the installation cavity, the stopper being installed on the installation cavity by means of a spring.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bolt that mates with the stopper is provided at one end of the stopper near the spring. The bolt is threaded onto the mounting base, and the mounting base is fixedly mounted on the valve body.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the air tube is located between the installation cavity and the airbag and is connected to an air inlet pipe. An air pump is connected to the end of the air inlet pipe away from the air tube, and a one-way valve is installed inside the air inlet pipe.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the valve core includes a core head, which is mounted on a disc. A control rod is mounted on the end of the disc away from the core head via a bearing. The control rod is a screw rod, which is threaded onto a base. A handle is coaxially provided on the end of the control rod away from the disc for easy operation.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this invention can achieve are:

[0015] 1. By setting the air bag, the flow is adjusted by inflating and deflating the air bag. When the air bag is in the full gas state, the air bag completely blocks the liquid path. When the air in the air bag is exhausted, the liquid path is completely opened. Therefore, the inflation and deflation of the air bag can adjust the flow;

[0016] 2. By setting the baffle, the function of blocking the liquid path is achieved, which can slow down the liquid flow speed and avoid water hammer effect. When the liquid path passes through the baffle, part of the liquid path is blocked by the baffle and is impacted by the reaction force to the rear liquid flow, thereby slowing down the liquid flow speed. When the liquid path passes through the baffle, the cross-sectional area suddenly increases, thereby further slowing down the liquid flow speed, thereby further avoiding the water hammer effect;

[0017] 3. The bolt and the plug of the device are in a separated state, so that the bolt can avoid affecting the air bag exhaust. Due to the impact of the water flow, the gas in the air bag will continue to be exhausted. If the maximum flow speed is not required, the bolt can be rotated at this time to make the bolt push the plug, so that the plug blocks the end of the air pipe, so that the gas in the air bag cannot be exhausted, thereby realizing the function of controlling the flow speed.
