Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a self-coaxially adjustable ultra-high pressure stop valve needle structure, which is used for ultra-high pressure pressure cut-off. Background Art

[0002] Automatic pressure stop valves are widely used in the automatic control of pressure control systems and pressure instruments in the fields of aviation, aerospace, and shipbuilding. Automatic pressure stop valves mainly include air-driven pressure stop valves and electromagnetic-driven pressure stop valves according to different driving modes. The pressure range is mainly concentrated in (0-60) MPa. According to the special needs of ultra-high pressure occasions, the maximum pressure can reach 250 MPa, and the internal density components of the stop valve mainly use metal end face wire seals to achieve the sealing and cut-off function through the extrusion deformation of the contact surface. Since ultra-high pressure stop valves above 250 MPa are rarely used, mature products have not yet been formed. Most of them are specially customized using the current ultra-high pressure stop valve metal end face wire seal method, and the sealing effect and service life of each product are uneven. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A self-coaxially adjustable ultra-high pressure stop valve needle structure, comprising a steel ball, a sealing ring, a connecting shaft, and a needle valve stem;

[0006] The coupling is connected to the needle valve stem; a steel ball with a hardness of not less than 80HRC is used for automatic centering to reduce the contact area with the pneumatic piston of the ultra-high pressure stop valve; a sealing ring is installed at the radial position of the coupling.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present invention, the coupling shaft and the needle valve stem are connected by H6 / n5 interference fit.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, the valve needle structure is coaxially adjusted by reducing the contact area with the pneumatic piston of the stop valve to reduce the radial friction force.

[0011] The screw passes through the retaining ring and is connected to the pneumatic piston, thereby connecting the valve needle structure to the pneumatic piston;

[0012] The needle valve stem passes through the coaxial nut gland, hydraulic cylinder, gasket, and combined sealing ring, and contacts the valve seat. Under the push of the pneumatic piston, a metal hard seal is generated with the gasket to achieve pressure cutoff;

[0013] The combined sealing ring and the needle valve stem adopt radial sealing to achieve sealing;

[0014] After the coaxial nut gland is connected to the hydraulic cylinder, the gasket is pressed tightly, thereby fixing the combined sealing ring in the hydraulic cylinder;

[0015] The valve seat and the hydraulic cylinder are pressed tightly by connecting the end coaxial nut with the hydraulic cylinder;

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the end coaxial nut 11 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 7 by threading.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ultra-high pressure is not less than 500 MPa.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) The present invention can effectively avoid the valve needle and the center hole of the hydraulic cylinder from being misaligned during the pressurization process, thereby preventing the valve needle from getting stuck or even breaking, by designing a self-coaxial adjustment design between the valve needle and the pneumatic piston.

[0023] (2) The present invention can effectively prevent the valve needle and the combined sealing ring from being subjected to uneven axial force, thereby preventing the sealing from failing and causing pressure leakage.

[0024] (3) The valve needle and valve seat can be accurately positioned when the stop valve is in the stop state, which reduces the damage of the valve needle to the metal sealing surface of the valve seat and improves the service life of the stop valve.

[0025] (4) After technical improvement, reliable sealing can be achieved under the ultra-high pressure cut-off of 500MPa, and the service life is greatly improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] A self-coaxially adjustable ultra-high pressure stop valve needle structure comprises a steel ball 1, a sealing ring (3, 4), a connecting shaft 2, and a needle valve stem 5. Figure 1 As shown, this component is installed inside the ultra-high pressure stop valve. Usually, the ultra-high pressure stop valve air drive cylinder applies a gas pressure in the range of about (0-0.5) MPa to drive the valve needle structure. The valve needle structure and the valve seat are sealed by the extruded deformed metal wire on the contact surface to achieve reliable shutoff of ultra-high pressure not less than 500 MPa.

[0033] The coupling shaft 2 and the needle valve stem 5 are connected by H6 / n5 interference fit.

[0034] A steel ball 1 with a diameter of φ2 and a hardness of not less than 80HRC is used for automatic centering, and the contact area with the pneumatic piston of the stop valve is reduced to reduce radial friction to coaxially adjust the component.

[0035] Two O-type sealing rings (3, 4) with a line diameter of φ are assembled at the radial position of the connecting shaft 2 to achieve radial assembly of the component and the pneumatic piston 16 in the stop valve, and the coaxiality adjustment margin is obtained by utilizing the compressible characteristics of the O-type sealing rings (3, 4).

[0036] A self-coaxially adjustable ultra-high pressure stop valve comprises a valve needle structure, a coaxial nut gland 6, a hydraulic cylinder 7, a cushion block 8, a combined sealing ring 9, a valve seat 10, a polytetrafluoroethylene gasket 13, an end coaxial nut 11, a first O-ring 12, a retaining ring 14, a screw 15, and a pneumatic piston 16.

[0037] Four screws 15 are evenly distributed through the retaining ring 14 and connected to the pneumatic piston 16, connecting the assembly formed by the needle valve stem 5, the connecting shaft 2, the steel ball 1 and the sealing ring (3, 4) to the pneumatic piston 16 to prevent the two from being separated when the gas piston 16 moves to the left.

[0038] The needle valve stem 5 passes through the coaxial nut gland 6, hydraulic cylinder 7, gasket 8, and combined sealing ring 9, and contacts the valve seat 10. Under the push of the pneumatic piston 16, a metal hard seal is generated with the gasket 8 to achieve pressure cutoff. At this time, the ultra-high pressure medium at the P inlet cannot flow out through the P outlet.

[0039] The combined sealing ring 9 and the needle valve stem 5 are sealed in a radial sealing manner.

[0040] The coaxial nut gland 6 and the hydraulic cylinder 7 are connected by threads to compress the gasket 8, thereby fixing the combined sealing ring 9 in the hydraulic cylinder 7.

[0041] The end coaxial nut 11 is connected with the hydraulic cylinder 7 by threads to press the valve seat 10 and the hydraulic cylinder 7 tightly.

[0042] A polytetrafluoroethylene gasket 13 and a first O-ring 12 are mounted at the radial position of the valve seat 10 .

[0043] The contents not described in detail in the specification of the present invention belong to the common knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0044] Although the present invention has been disclosed as above in the form of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may make possible changes and modifications to the technical solution of the present invention by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
