Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of explosion-proof protection valves, in particular to an underwater automatic reset explosion-proof device and a shock wave isolation method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of economic and military globalization, the ocean has become an important channel for communication between countries. Therefore, there are various pipeline equipment, ships and vessels underwater. Some equipment, such as water pressure detection devices and pipeline insulation joints, need to be in contact with the external water body and withstand a certain amount of water pressure. In the event of an underwater explosion, the pressure on ship equipment and pipeline joints will instantly increase due to the action of the shock wave, causing damage to the equipment or destroying the sealing of the pipeline joints. Therefore, there is a need for an underwater explosion-proof valve that can ensure smooth flow under normal operating pressure, but when a shock wave arrives, the pressure increase instantly isolates the shock wave, absorbs the shock wave energy, and ensures the safety of the pipeline and equipment behind the valve. After the shock wave dissipates, the valve can automatically reset and restore the normal working path.

[0003] Existing explosion-proof protection valves are mostly used for air inlets and outlets of factory buildings, mainly to isolate the shock waves generated by explosions in the air and protect the safety of equipment and personnel behind the valve. However, this type of protection valve is bulky and has many mechanical devices. During the closing process, the air inside the valve body needs to be squeezed. However, liquid is different from air medium and its compressibility is much lower than that of air. Therefore, if the medium in the existing air explosion-proof valve is replaced with liquid, the mechanical devices in most explosion-proof valves cannot be closed normally, or even if they are closed, the shock wave energy will be transferred to the rear through the liquid, failing to play the role of isolating the shock wave energy. In addition, existing explosion-proof valves rarely use energy absorption devices, and most of their energy is absorbed by their mechanical devices or valve bodies. When faced with large impact energy or multiple impacts, the valve body or mechanical device structure will be damaged. Moreover, some explosion-proof valves currently require manual intervention and reset after the explosion to restore normal working state, which is inconvenient for daily use.

[0010] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided at the upper end of the circulation hole, and the blocking block is arranged in contact with the sealing gasket.

[0012] Preferably, the reset unit includes a reset chamber shell, a reset spring is fixedly provided in the reset chamber shell, the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the reset spring, and limiting buckles are provided at both ends of the top of the reset chamber shell for limiting the connecting rod to the reset chamber shell, and a sealing ring is provided between the limiting buckle and the connecting rod.

[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a method for isolating shock waves of an underwater automatic reset explosion-proof device, based on the above-mentioned underwater automatic reset explosion-proof device, comprising the following steps:

[0016] After the medium shock wave enters the inlet at the top of the explosion-proof valve body, it acts on the piston isolation plate in the first layer of piston ring chamber, and pushes the piston isolation plate to move the entire closed piston toward the outlet, so that the piston isolation plate compresses the closing ring, the connecting rod compresses the reset unit, and each layer of piston isolation plate is sealed to the flow hole of the partition plate, thereby achieving a sealing effect and isolating the impact energy; during the closing process of the closed piston, the impact energy is absorbed by the reset unit and the piston closing ring; in the energy-absorbing ball chamber, the explosion-proof valve body is closed by closing the closing piston, causing the medium to be squeezed, and then squeezing the energy-absorbing ball, and deforming the energy-absorbing ball by compressing it to provide flow space for the medium, thereby preventing the medium from transmitting the impact energy to the rear equipment; when the shock wave dissipates, the medium pressure at the inlet returns to the normal working level, the reset unit is backfilled, pushing the closed piston to return to the normal working state, the medium flow channel opens, and the explosion-proof valve body can work normally.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] The present invention provides an underwater automatic reset explosion-proof device, which is provided with a sealing piston in the explosion-proof valve body, and a plurality of rows of partition plates are horizontally provided in the inner chamber of the explosion-proof valve body along the direction from the inlet to the outlet, and the plurality of rows of partition plates are coaxially provided with flow holes, and the plurality of rows of partition plates divide the inner chamber of the explosion-proof valve body into a plurality of chambers. The sealing piston is subjected to telescopic movement by a reset unit, and the reset unit is compressed during the closing process of the sealing piston. After the shock wave dissipates, the reset unit pushes the sealing piston back to its original position, and each flow channel is restored to be unobstructed, and the explosion-proof valve is restored to be unobstructed, avoiding the need for manual intervention to restore normal working state after each shock. An energy-absorbing ball chamber is installed in the energy-absorbing ball chamber to absorb the energy transmitted to the outlet by the valve body piston during the closing process, providing space for the medium inside the mechanism to deform, and preventing the energy generated during the closing process from being transmitted to the rear equipment through the compressed liquid medium. The arrangement of the plurality of piston ring chambers in the explosion-proof valve body greatly isolates the shock wave energy, and the reset unit can ensure the normal closing of the explosion-proof valve in the liquid.

[0019] Furthermore, a downflow channel is provided at the position of the partition plate corresponding to the piston sealing ring on the piston isolation plate in the piston ring chamber, and an upflow channel is provided at the position of the piston isolation plate corresponding to the piston sealing ring on the partition plate. Both the downflow channel and the upflow channel are recessed to provide a flow path for the medium entering the explosion-proof valve body, and the recessed surface corresponds to the annular surface of the piston sealing ring. When the medium generates a shock wave, the shock wave impacts the closing piston to close the explosion-proof valve body. The recessed surface corresponds to the annular surface of the piston sealing ring to effectively isolate the flow of the medium.

[0020] Furthermore, the top surface of the piston isolation plate near the inlet is an arc surface, and the outer circle of the top surface of the piston isolation plate is chamfered, so as to facilitate the diversion of the medium after it enters the inlet.

[0021] Furthermore, the connecting rod is provided with a blocking block at the upper end of the flow hole of each row of partition plates. The diameter of the blocking block is larger than the aperture of the flow hole, thereby limiting the position of the closed piston in each layer of the chamber.

[0022] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided at the upper end of the flow hole, and the blocking block is arranged in contact with the sealing gasket, so as to effectively isolate the medium.

[0023] Furthermore, the connecting rod is staggeredly provided with piston support ribs between the flow holes of each row of partition plates, which support the closed piston in the flow hole, and the medium flows in the gap between the piston support ribs and the flow hole.

[0024] Furthermore, the reset unit includes a reset chamber housing, a reset spring is fixedly provided in the reset chamber housing, the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the reset spring, and limit buckles are provided at both ends of the top of the reset chamber housing to limit the connecting rod to the reset chamber housing. A sealing ring is provided between the limit buckle and the connecting rod. The reset spring is compressed during the closing process of the closed piston. After the shock wave dissipates, the reset spring pushes the closed piston back to its original position, and each flow channel is restored to be unobstructed, and the anti-explosion valve is restored to be unobstructed, avoiding the need for manual intervention to restore normal working state after each anti-impact.

[0025] The present invention also provides a method for isolating shock waves of an underwater automatic reset explosion-proof device. When a shock wave arrives, the shock wave acts on the top arc surface of the closed piston, pushing the closed piston downward. The piston sealing ring contacts each flow channel, closes the flow channel, and blocks the impact energy. The piston sealing ring is made of energy-absorbing material, which provides a blocking function while absorbing impact energy through a certain deformation. Existing explosion-proof valves do not have such energy-absorbing devices, and the energy absorption effect is poor, so the protection effect is poor, and the valve body is easily damaged after repeated impact resistance. The number of separation chambers can also be set according to the size of the pre-resistance impact load. The greater the impact load, the more separation chambers and energy-absorbing devices are set. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0053] Example

[0054] according to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides an underwater automatic reset explosion-proof device, including an explosion-proof valve body 2, wherein the explosion-proof valve body 2 is a cylindrical metal valve with an inlet 1 at the top and an outlet 18 at the bottom. The explosion-proof valve body 2 is divided into different chambers by a partition plate 20, and a circular arc-shaped lower flow channel 8 is engraved on the partition plate 20. A sealing gasket 10 is provided at the end of the partition plate. An arc groove 21 is engraved on the partition plate of the last chamber, and energy-absorbing balls 20 are embedded in the arc groove. The number of energy-absorbing balls 20 can be determined according to the preset resistance working conditions. A flow hole 14 is provided on the partition plate below the energy-absorbing ball to guide the medium to the flow chamber 15 and then out through the outlet 18.

[0055] according to Figure 4 As shown, the last-stage chamber has a reset chamber housing 17 with a reset spring 16 installed inside. A limit buckle 12 is provided at the top of the reset chamber to prevent the closing piston 4 from rebounding too much and blocking the inlet 1. A sealing ring 13 is provided at the end of the limit buckle to prevent the medium from penetrating into the reset chamber.

[0056] according to Figure 4 As shown, the upper part of the closed piston 4 is an arc surface 5, the top outer ring is chamfered 6, an arc groove is engraved on the piston isolation plate 9, and a piston closing ring 7 is installed on the groove. At the intersection of the closed piston 7 and the partition plate 20, the piston support ribs 11 are staggered. The medium flows through the gap between the piston support ribs 11, and the bottom of the closed piston 4 is installed below the limit buckle 12.

[0057] according to Figure 10 As shown, in the normal working state of the underwater automatic reset explosion-proof device of this embodiment, the arrow represents the medium. The medium enters the explosion-proof valve through the inlet 1, is first guided by the arc surface 5, enters the first chamber after being guided, passes through the lower flow channel 8 between the piston sealing ring 7 and the partition plate 20, then passes through the upper flow channel 3, passes through the gap between the piston support ribs 11, enters the next chamber, and continues to the last chamber. Then, through the gap between the energy-absorbing balls 19, flows into the flow hole 14, and finally flows into the flow chamber 15 and out through the outlet 18. The reset spring 16 is in its maximum extension state.

[0058] according to Figure 11As shown, when the shock wave arrives, the explosion-proof valve of the underwater automatic reset explosion-proof device is in the closed state. When the shock wave arrives in the medium, the shock wave acts on the arc surface 5, pushing the closing piston 4 to move in the outflow direction, compressing the reset spring 16 and the piston sealing ring 7, and making the closing piston 4 contact with the sealing gasket 10, so as to achieve the sealing effect and isolate the impact energy. This process is repeated in the next chamber. During the closing process of the closing piston 4, the impact energy is absorbed by the reset spring 16 and the piston sealing ring 7. In the last chamber, the medium is squeezed during the closing process of the device, and then the energy-absorbing ball 19 is squeezed. By compressing its deformation, space is given to the medium to flow, preventing the medium from transmitting the impact energy to the rear equipment. When the shock wave dissipates, the medium pressure at the inlet 1 returns to the normal working level, the reset spring 16 backfills, pushing the closing piston 4 back to the normal working state, the flow channel opens, and the explosion-proof valve can work normally.

[0059] If the designed shock wave energy is larger, the number of chambers can be increased, and then the number of piston sealing rings 7 can be increased so that it can absorb more shock energy.

[0060] Before using the underwater automatic reset explosion-proof device of the present invention, the air tightness of the valve body, the smoothness of the flow channel, the mobility of the closing piston 4, and the resilience of the reset spring 16 are checked.

[0061] Connect the outlet to the inside of the pipe and the position in contact with the external medium. After installation, check the air tightness of the valve body, the smoothness of the flow channel, the mobility of the closing piston 4, and the resilience of the return spring 16.

[0062] In summary, the present invention provides an underwater automatic resetting explosion-proof device and a shock wave isolation method. The underwater automatic resetting explosion-proof device has a simple appearance, a compact size, a simple internal structure, and each component is easy to process and install. When in use, there is a special energy-absorbing structure that can absorb the impact energy very well, and the energy-absorbing device can also absorb the extrusion energy generated by the medium during the closing process, thereby protecting the equipment after the valve and mechanical devices such as the valve housing to the greatest extent and having good durability. Moreover, after the explosion-proof valve is closed by the induction shock wave, it can reset itself without manual intervention and return to normal working state, which greatly facilitates daily use. The sealing gaskets arranged between the various structures in the present invention can ensure the sealing effect when the flow channel needs to be blocked, and the sealing ring of the reset cavity can prevent the medium from flowing into the sealing cavity, damaging the reset spring or affecting the reset effect.

[0063] In the present invention, multiple energy-absorbing rings are provided inside the valve body, which can fully absorb the impact energy, reduce the energy transfer to the rear, and improve the durability of the valve body itself. An energy-absorbing ball is installed in the last chamber, which can absorb the energy applied to the medium by the motorized device in the valve during the closing process, thereby preventing the energy during the closing process from damaging the rear equipment. A reset device is installed at the bottom of the closed piston to avoid the need for manual intervention to resume work after each anti-explosion operation, and the reset device has a limit buckle to prevent the piston from rebounding too much and blocking the inlet.

[0064] 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 it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents. Any modification or equivalent replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be covered by the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
