Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pressure switches, and particularly to a nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch. Background Art

[0002] A nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch is a precision control device designed specifically for high-requirement fields such as the nuclear industry. It has excellent pressure resistance performance and can operate stably under extreme pressure and temperature conditions to ensure the safety and reliability of nuclear facilities. It uses high-precision sensors that can accurately sense subtle changes in temperature and pressure, with high precision and rapid response in triggering the switch action;

[0003] The nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch uses special sealing and protective materials that can effectively resist the effects of nuclear radiation, chemical corrosion, and various harsh environmental factors. Moreover, in order to ensure its long-term stable operation, the design also fully considers the need for easy maintenance and component replacement, reducing the risk of nuclear facility shutdown due to equipment failure;

[0004] In practical applications, the nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch is connected to a complex monitoring system to achieve real-time data transmission and remote monitoring;

[0005] The nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch is installed on a pipeline to detect the temperature and pressure of the medium flowing in the pipeline. When the temperature or pressure of the medium flowing in the pipeline reaches the set value, the nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch controls the connected electrical components;

[0006] When the flow rate of the medium in the pipeline suddenly changes, such as the rapid closing or opening of a valve, or the sudden start or stop of a pump, it will cause the pressure to rise or fall sharply in a short time. When the pressure change is transmitted to the position of the nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch, it will cause damage to the nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch, thus causing limitations.

[0007] Therefore, we propose a nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch. Summary of the Invention

Specific embodiments

[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] Embodiment 1: Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 4, 5 and 6, a nuclear-grade pressure-resistant temperature and pressure switch, comprising:

[0034] An outer shell 11, a control element, a detection cylinder 12 and a detection probe 13; the detection probe 13 is installed in the detection cylinder 12; the control element is installed in the outer shell 11; a buffer cavity 14 is provided in the detection cylinder 12; a sealing block 15 is slidably connected in the buffer cavity 14, and a first spring 16 is installed in the buffer cavity 14; the first spring 16 is fixedly connected to the sealing block 15.

[0035] In the present invention, a detection pressure sensor 17 is fixedly connected in the buffer cavity 14; a contact block 2 is fixedly connected to the detection pressure sensor 17; the contact block 2 is fixedly connected to the first spring 16.

[0036] In the present invention, a pair of first springs 16 are symmetrically arranged in the buffer cavity 14; a pair of second springs 18 and a pair of third springs 19 are symmetrically arranged in the buffer cavity 14; the second springs 18 and the third springs 19 are both fixedly connected to the contact block 2; the lengths of the first spring 16, the second spring 18 and the third spring 19 decrease in sequence.

[0037] In the present invention, a receiving groove 21 is formed in the buffer chamber 14; a spacer plate 22 is slidably connected in the receiving groove 21 evenly; a connecting rope 23 is fixedly connected between the spacer plates 22; the sealing block 15 is fixedly connected to the spacer plate 22 through the connecting rope 23.

[0038] In the present invention, the detection cylinder 12 is installed on the pipeline. When the medium in the pipeline passes through the position of the detection cylinder 12, the detection probe 13 in the detection cylinder 12 detects the temperature and pressure of the medium in the pipeline.

[0039] When the pressure of the medium in the pipeline rises sharply within a short period of time, the sealing block 15 in the buffer chamber 14 moves towards the direction close to the detection pressure sensor 17, so that the sealing block 15 in the buffer chamber 14 shares the pressure in the detection cylinder 12. Therefore, when the pressure of the medium in the pipeline rises sharply, the instantaneous pressure change received by the detection probe 13 becomes smaller compared to the original, thus playing a role in protecting the detection probe 13. At the same time, during the movement of the sealing block 15 in the buffer chamber 14, the first spring 16 is compressed, and the first spring 16 transfers the pressure to the detection pressure sensor 17. Therefore, the detection pressure sensor 17 detects the pressure change, and thus obtains the pressure shared by the buffer chamber 14. By combining the pressure change of the detection pressure sensor 17 with the pressure of the detection probe 13, the pressure value in the detection cylinder 12 is obtained.

[0040] In the present invention, a second spring 18 and a third spring 19 are arranged in the receiving cavity, and the lengths of the first spring 16, the second spring 18 and the third spring 19 decrease in sequence. Therefore, after the first spring 16 is compressed to a certain extent, the second spring 18 will also be compressed until the third spring 19 is also compressed. Thus, the sealing block 15, the first spring 16, the second spring 18 and the third spring 19 in the buffer chamber 14 of the present invention can stepwise accommodate more pressure. Therefore, the limited buffer stroke in the buffer chamber 14 of the present invention can buffer greater pressure.

[0041] In the present invention, the spacer plates 22 between the first spring 16, the second spring 18 and the third spring 19 can separate the first spring 16, the second spring 18 and the third spring 19, and at the same time prevent the first spring 16, the second spring 18 and the third spring 19 from bending when being compressed, thus affecting the movement of the sealing block 15; the spacer plates 22 are connected through the connecting rope 23, and the spacer plates 22 are slidably connected in the receiving groove 21, thus not affecting the movement of the sealing block 15.

[0042] In the present invention, a buffer chamber 14 is provided inside the detection cylinder 12, such that the sealing block 15 and the first spring 16 inside the buffer chamber 14 share the pressure change inside the detection cylinder 12 when the pressure in the pipeline suddenly changes, thereby protecting the detection probe 13; at the same time, the first spring 16, the second spring 18, and the third spring 19 are provided inside the buffer chamber 14, so as to stepwise accommodate more pressure. Therefore, the limited buffer stroke inside the buffer chamber 14 of the present invention can buffer a greater pressure.

[0043] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, referring to the attached Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 4, 5, and 6, in the present invention, the opening of the buffer chamber 14 inside the detection cylinder 12 is at the same height as the detection probe 13, and the sealing block 15, the first spring 16, the second spring 18, the third spring 19, and the pressure sensor inside the buffer chamber 14 are all located at the rear end of the detection cylinder 12.

[0044] In the present invention, the buffer chamber 14 is arranged in the second half of the detection cylinder 12, so that the volume of the first half of the detection cylinder 12 is small, which is convenient for installation on the pipeline, and the position of the opening of the buffer chamber 14 is close to that of the detection probe 13, and it can respond to the pressure impact faster and disperse it.

[0045] In the present invention, a first sealing ring 3 and a second sealing ring 31 are installed on the detection cylinder 12; the end faces of the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 31 close to each other are arranged in a curved shape and can fit with the inner and outer walls of the pipeline.

[0046] In the present invention, an installation groove 4 is provided on the detection cylinder 12; a push block 41 is slidably connected inside the installation groove 4; a support rod 42 is fixedly connected to the second sealing ring 31; a connecting rod 43 is hinged between the support rod 42 and the push block 41; the second sealing ring 31 is fixedly connected inside the installation groove 4.

[0047] In the present invention, a push ring 44 is threadedly connected to the detection cylinder 12; the push ring 44 is in threaded cooperation with the push block 41; when the push ring 44 rotates, it moves towards the second sealing ring 31 and drives the push block 41 to move in the direction close to the push ring 44.

[0048] In the present invention, a first sealing ring 3 and a second sealing ring 31 are provided on the detection cylinder 12. When installing the detection cylinder 12, a hole is drilled in the pipeline, and then the pushing ring 44 is rotated in the reverse direction, so that the pushing block 41 pulls the second sealing ring 31, causing the second sealing ring 31 to bend towards the direction close to the pushing block 41, reducing the diameter of the second sealing ring 31, facilitating the insertion of the front end of the detection cylinder 12 into the hole opened in the pipeline. Subsequently, the pushing ring 44 is rotated in the forward direction, so that the pushing block 41 pushes the second sealing ring 31, causing the second sealing ring 31 to expand. Thus, the second sealing ring 31 is inside the pipeline and the first sealing ring 3 is outside the pipeline. Therefore, the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 31 are respectively located above and below the hole in the pipeline. Continuing to rotate the pushing ring 44, the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 31 seal the hole in the pipeline. Therefore, when installing the detection cylinder 12 of the present invention, a hole can be arbitrarily opened in the pipeline and then installed;

[0049] The present invention provides a first sealing ring 3 and a second sealing ring 31 on the detection cylinder 12, and by pulling the second sealing ring 31 with the pushing block 41, the second sealing ring 31 can be folded, so that the second sealing ring 31 can be inserted into the hole in the pipeline, and then the second sealing ring 31 expands inside the pipeline, thereby sealing the hole on the inner and outer sides of the pipeline hole.

[0050] Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed; the scope of protection claimed by the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
