DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present invention provides a gas emergency cut-off valve, which includes a valve housing 1, a cut-off housing 2, a flow port 3, a valve core 4 and a cut-off assembly. The cut-off assembly includes a storage housing 5, two explosion-proof negative pressure pumps 6 and two opening and closing units. The valve core 4 has two flow grooves 7. The opening and closing unit includes a protective housing 8, a rotating member 9 and a ball valve 10. The cut-off assembly further includes a controller 11, a plurality of gas sensors 12 and a valve core driving unit. The valve core driving unit includes a partition plate 13, two sliders 14, a telescopic rod 15, a spring 16, a first pull handle 17, two downward pressing driving mechanisms and two limiting mechanisms. The downward pressing driving mechanism includes a support block 19 and a downward pressing driving member 20. The limiting mechanism includes a moving block 21, a plurality of rollers 22, a limiting driving member 23 and a second pull handle 24. The cut-off assembly further includes a strengthening sealing unit. The strengthening sealing unit includes a strengthening housing 25, a plurality of self-locking electric push rods 26 and a sealing gasket 27.

[0024] Among them, the cut-off housing 2 communicates with the upper part of the valve housing 1. The flow port 3 is arranged inside the valve housing 1. The valve core 4 is arranged above the flow port 3. The valve core 4 is adapted to the flow port 3. The valve core 4 has two flow grooves 7. The storage housing 5 is arranged above the valve core 4. The storage housing 5 communicates with the two flow grooves 7. The two explosion-proof negative pressure pumps 6 and the two opening and closing units are respectively arranged inside the corresponding flow grooves 7. First, open the valve core 4 to convey gas through the flow port 3. When the gas system detects gas leakage, a control signal is sent to start the valve core 4 to close the flow port 3. At this time, the explosion-proof negative pressure pump 6 starts to suck the gas that has passed through the flow port 3 into the storage housing 5 through the flow groove 7. Then the opening and closing unit closes the flow groove 7. The two explosion-proof negative pressure pumps 6 are respectively used to suck and output the gas in the storage housing 5. When the gas cut-off is completed and it needs to be started, the opening and closing unit opens the other flow groove 7, and the gas is output to the valve housing 1 through the corresponding explosion-proof negative pressure pump 6. At the same time, the valve core 4 also moves upward to open the flow port 3; the valve housing 1 supports the entire emergency cut-off valve, the cut-off housing 2 protects and bears the driving mechanism of the internal valve core 4, the flow port 3 is used for gas circulation, and the valve core 4 is used to be adapted to the flow port 3 and then close it.

[0025] Secondly, the rotating component 9 is fixedly connected to the valve core 4 and is located above the valve core 4. The output end of the rotating component 9 penetrates through the valve core 4 and is fixedly connected to the ball valve 10. The ball valve 10 is located inside the flow-through groove 7. The rotating component 9 is a self-locking motor. When the rotating component 9 is started, it drives the ball valve 10 to rotate, thereby opening and closing the flow-through groove 7. The protective shell 8 protects the rotating component 9 to prevent gas from coming into contact with the motor and causing a gas accident.

[0026] Meanwhile, the driving unit of the valve core 4 is arranged inside the cut-off housing 2, the controller 11 is arranged on the inner top wall of the cut-off housing 2, and multiple gas sensors 12 are respectively arranged inside the valve housing 1 and the storage housing 5. The driving unit of the valve core 4 is arranged inside the cut-off housing 2. The controller 11 can be connected to the upper control system to remotely cut off the gas emergently. The gas sensors 12 can monitor the gas content inside the valve housing 1 and the storage housing 5, so as to know whether gas is inhaled into the storage housing 5. The driving unit of the valve core 4 is used to drive the valve core 4 to move up and down.

[0027] In addition, the partition plate 13 is fixedly connected to the cut-off housing 2 and is located inside the cut-off housing 2. The storage housing 5 is slidably connected to the partition plate 13 and is located inside the partition plate 13. Two sliders 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the storage housing 5. The cut-off housing 2 has two sliding grooves 18, and the two sliders 14 are respectively slidably connected to the corresponding sliding grooves 18. Both ends of the telescopic rod 15 are fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the cut-off housing 2 and the storage housing 5 respectively. Both ends of the spring 16 are movably connected to the inner top wall of the cut-off housing 2 and the storage housing 5 respectively. The spring 16 is sleeved outside the telescopic rod 15. The first handle 17 is slidably connected to the cut-off housing 2. The first handle 17 penetrates through the cut-off housing 2 and is fixedly connected to the storage housing 5. Two downward pressing driving mechanisms and two limiting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the storage housing 5. The partition plate 13 can divide the space between the valve housing 1 and the cut-off housing 2 to prevent gas from entering the cut-off housing 2 from the valve housing 1 during the gas flow and transportation. When the valve core 4 moves up and down, the slider 14 slides in the sliding groove 18, and the telescopic rod 15 follows to expand and contract, improving stability. The valve core 4 can be manually moved through the first handle 17 for manual cut-off. The downward pressing driving mechanism is used to drive the storage housing 5 to move downward, so that the valve core 4 moves. The limiting mechanism is used to limit the storage housing 5 to prevent the storage housing 5 and the valve core 4 from accidentally rebounding during gas transportation and causing gas cut-off.

[0028] Then, the support block 19 is arranged above the storage shell 5, the downward pressure driving component 20 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the cut-off shell 2, and the output end of the downward pressure driving component 20 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the support block 19. The downward pressure driving component 20 is a self-locking cylinder, and the output end of the downward pressure driving component 20 extends to drive the support block 19 to move, so that the storage shell 5 and the valve core 4 move downward. When the gas is cut off, the output end of the downward pressure driving component 20 can also be retracted to drive the support block 19, the storage shell 5 and the valve core 4 to move upward, and then the flow port 3 can be opened without manual operation.

[0029] Again, the limit drive component 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cut-off shell 2, the output end of the limit drive component 23 is fixedly connected to the moving block 21, the multiple rollers 22 are rotatably connected to the upper part of the moving block 21 in sequence, the second handle 24 is slidably connected to the cut-off shell 2, the second handle 24 penetrates the cut-off shell 2, and is fixedly connected to the moving block 21. When the gas does not need to be cut off, the valve core 4 and the storage shell 5 move up and reset, and at this time the limit drive component 23 is started, driving the moving block 21 to extend and be located below the support block 19. At this time, the downward pressure drive component 20 is closed, and the storage shell 5 and the support block 19 move downward under the action of the spring 16, and then abut against the upper roller 22, thereby achieving limit and preventing the valve core 4 from moving downward; when emergency cutting is required, the output end of the limit drive component 23 contracts, driving the moving block 21 to disengage from the support block 19. The limit is cancelled, and the downward driving component 20 is started, driving the valve core 4 to move downward, and with the rebound of the spring 16, the valve core 4 can be quickly moved downward for cutting; in addition, if manual cutting is required, the second handle 24 can be pulled out, and the roller 22 is in contact with the bottom of the support block 19 at this time, which can reduce the friction and make it easier for the staff to pull, and then the spring 16 can rebound after the contact, and at the same time, the first handle 17 can be pressed downward to drive the storage shell 5 and the valve core 4 to move downward, thereby speeding up the cutting speed.

[0030] Moreover, the enhanced sealing unit is disposed inside the valve housing 1; the enhanced housing 25 is fixedly connected to the valve housing 1 and is located on the inner wall of the valve housing 1. A plurality of self-locking electric push rods 26 are sequentially disposed inside the enhanced housing 25. The output ends of the plurality of self-locking electric push rods 26 all penetrate through the enhanced housing 25 and are fixedly connected to the gasket 27. The gasket 27 is adapted to the flow port 3. The enhanced housing 25 protects the self-locking electric push rods 26 from direct contact with the gas. When the self-locking electric push rods 26 are activated, they drive the gasket 27 to move upward, thereby sealing the lower part of the flow port 3. The valve core 4 seals the upper part of the flow port 3, thus significantly enhancing the sealing effect and preventing gas leakage during cutting.

[0031] When using a gas emergency cut-off valve according to this embodiment, first, the valve core 4 is opened, and gas is transported through the flow port 3. When the gas system detects gas leakage, a control signal is sent. The output end of the downward pressure driving component 20 extends, driving the support block 19 to move, causing the storage housing 5 and the valve core 4 to move downward. The valve core 4 closes the flow port 3. At this time, the explosion-proof negative pressure pump 6 is activated to suck the gas that has passed through the flow port 3 into the storage housing 5 through the flow groove 7. Then the rotating component 9 is activated to drive the ball valve 10 to rotate, thereby closing the flow groove 7. The two explosion-proof negative pressure pumps 6 are respectively used to suck and output the gas in the storage housing 5. When the gas cut-off is completed and startup is required, the opening and closing unit opens the other flow groove 7, and the gas is output into the valve housing 1 through the corresponding explosion-proof negative pressure pump 6. At the same time, the valve core 4 also moves upward to open the flow port 3. Additionally, when gas cut-off is not required, the valve core 4 and the storage housing 5 move upward to reset. At this time, the limit driving component 23 is activated to drive the moving block 21 to extend and be located below the support block 19. At this time, the downward pressure driving component 20 is closed, and the storage housing 5 and the support block 19 move downward under the action of the spring 16 and then abut against the upper roller 22, thereby achieving limiting and preventing the valve core 4 from moving downward. When emergency cut-off is required, the output end of the limit driving component 23 contracts, driving the moving block 21 to disengage from below the support block 19, canceling the limit. At this time, the downward pressure driving component 20 is activated to drive the valve core 4 to move downward. Cooperating with the rebound of the spring 16, the valve core 4 can move downward quickly for cutting. If manual cut-off is required, the second handle 24 can be pulled out. At this time, the roller 22 contacts the lower part of the support block 19, which can reduce the friction force and facilitate the staff to pull more easily. Then, after contact, the spring 16 can rebound. At the same time, the first handle 17 can be pressed downward to drive the storage housing 5 and the valve core 4 to move downward, accelerating the cutting speed.

[0032] Through the above structural arrangement, after the gas is cut off emergently, the gas passing through the flow port 3 can be quickly sucked into the storage shell 5 for storage, preventing it from flowing into the subsequent pipelines to cause additional leakage, minimizing the gas leakage amount to the greatest extent, and significantly reducing the risk of gas accidents.

[0033] The above-disclosed are only one or more preferred embodiments of the present application, and cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present application. Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand the whole or part of the processes of implementing the above embodiments, and the equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application still fall within the scope covered by the present application.
