Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a gate valve with a leakage warning structure, belonging to the field of valve equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the shut-off action of gate valves, during the locking process, the seals will experience sliding friction and compression with the inner wall of the sealing hole, which can lead to seal damage and leakage. Current valve leakage detection mainly relies on pressure changes at both ends of the pipeline. However, thermal expansion and contraction, as well as elastic deformation, all cause pressure changes in the pipeline, making it difficult to detect minute leaks caused by seal wear. Furthermore, after the gate valve is closed, the other end of the pipeline may be completely depressurized in some cases, making it impossible to detect pipeline leaks based on pressure changes.

[0020] The immersion display mechanism is installed in a separate adapter ring, which improves maintainability, while the pressure in the pressure drive chamber can reduce the possibility of the immersion display mechanism getting wet.

[0021] As a further improvement of the present invention, a first connecting ring is provided in the middle of the adapter ring. The outer wall of the first connecting ring is in sealed contact with the inner wall of the air guide hole.

[0025] As a further improvement of the present invention, a limiting ring is fixed below the valve plug by a thread, and a second connecting ring is provided at the top of the inner ring of the limiting ring.

[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0042] like Figure 1 A shut-off valve with a leakage warning structure includes:

[0043] The valve body 1 has an inlet hole 2 and an outlet hole 3 at its bottom. A transition hole is vertically connected above the outlet hole 3. A stop hole 4 is coaxially arranged inside the transition hole. The inlet hole 2 and the outlet hole 3 are connected through the stop hole 4. The valve body 1 has a stop structure at its top. A valve cover 5 is fixed to the top of the valve body 1 corresponding to the transition hole by a flange. The stop mechanism includes a valve stem 6 threaded to the valve cover 5. A deflector ring 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem 6. A valve plug 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the valve stem 6. The front end of the valve plug 8 is in sealing contact with the stop hole 4 through a sealing ring 23.

[0044] And, a sensing component, which includes a water immersion sensing mechanism disposed at the rear end of the valve plug 8 corresponding to the seal and a water immersion display mechanism disposed within the valve plug 8;

[0045] In this design, an annular stop surface and an overflow surface are sequentially arranged on the inner wall of the stop hole 4 along the moving axis of the valve plug 8; a first partition ring 15 is provided at the front end of the valve plug 8, and a plurality of first overflow grooves 16 with axes parallel to the valve plug 8 are arranged in an annular array on the outer ring of the first partition ring 15; a sealing ring 23 is provided between the front end of the valve plug 8 and the first partition ring 15, and the sealing ring 23 is used to seal and contact the stop surface; a second partition ring 17 is provided at the end of the valve plug 8, and a plurality of second overflow grooves 18 with axes parallel to the valve plug 8 are arranged in an annular array on the outer ring of the second partition ring 17; an annular sensing groove is provided between the second partition ring 17 and the first partition ring 15, and the outer opening of the sensing groove is arranged corresponding to the overflow surface; the overflow surface will overflow the leaked water when the sealing ring 23 leaks.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The immersion sensing mechanism includes several annular sensing plates 19 made of conductive material arranged in an array within a sensing groove. Several third overflow grooves 22 are arranged in an annular array around the outer ring of the sensing plates 19. Sensing gaps are provided between the sensing plates 19. Figure 4 The inner ring array of the sensing element 19 is provided with through holes and connecting holes arranged at intervals. An insulating ring is embedded in each through hole. Several drainage openings 20 are arranged in a ring array at the radial center of the sensing element 19. A connecting bracket is provided within the sensing groove. The connecting bracket includes several conductive support pillars 21 made of conductive material arranged in a ring array between the sensing grooves. Each conductive support pillar 21 includes a positive electrode support pillar and a negative electrode support pillar. The positive electrode support pillar is interference-fitted with the connecting holes of the odd-numbered sensing elements 19 and passes through the odd-numbered sensing elements 19. The through hole, the negative electrode support post and the connection hole of the even-numbered sensing element 19 are interference fit and fixed and pass through the through hole of the even-numbered sensing element 19. The conductive support post 21 is connected to the electrode of the corresponding water immersion display mechanism. When the sealing ring 23 is worn or the valve is not closed enough, the liquid coming in from the water inlet 2 will pass through the first overflow groove 16, the second overflow groove 18, the third overflow groove 22 and the drain opening 20 and enter between the sensing elements 19, so that the sensing elements 19 are in a conductive state and generate a certain resistance value according to the immersion humidity.

[0047] like Figure 5The water immersion display mechanism includes an operational controller. The voltage detection terminal of the operational controller, the water immersion sensing mechanism, and a first voltage divider resistor are connected in series to the drive circuit of the driving power supply. The voltage detection terminal of the operational controller can determine whether to output a level to turn on the display terminal's switching transistor based on the voltage value at this terminal. The voltage detection terminal can detect the water immersion status of the water immersion sensing mechanism by detecting the voltage change in the overall circuit caused by the change in the resistance of the water immersion sensing mechanism. The output terminal of the operational controller is connected to the switching transistor at the control terminal of the switching transistor. The display terminal of the water immersion display mechanism is connected in series to the drive circuit of the driving power supply via the switching transistor and a second voltage divider resistor. The second voltage divider resistor ensures that the LED indicator 35 of the display terminal is at a suitable operating voltage. Under normal conditions, the driving power supply outputs a constant current. When the water immersion display mechanism is not immersed in water, the voltage detection circuit... When the water immersion display mechanism is in the off state and leaks due to wear of the sealing ring 23, the voltage detection circuit is activated, causing the output of the operational controller to turn on the switching transistor. The first voltage divider resistor can be adjusted to change the reference voltage when the circuit is on. When the resistance between the sensing plates 19 of the water immersion display mechanism decreases infinitely, the circuit voltage will approach the reference voltage. Conversely, when the resistance between the sensing plates 19 increases, the circuit voltage will decrease and fall below the reference voltage. Based on this, the humidity threshold can be adjusted by selecting a suitable operational controller and the first voltage divider resistor. In addition, when the valve is open, the LED indicator 35 will also light up due to water immersion. Thus, the valve leakage or opening status can be clearly determined based on the valve's closed state and the status of the LED indicator 35.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2A pressure drive chamber 13 is provided in the middle of the valve plug 8. A one-way valve 31 with its opening direction facing the pressure drive chamber 13 is provided on the top of the valve plug 8. The front end of the valve stem 6 is rotatably sealed to the valve plug 8 through a rotary connector. A transmission hole is provided in the middle of the valve stem 6. A vent hole 41 is provided in the rotary connector. The transmission hole and the one-way valve 31 are connected through the vent hole 41. Several pressure relief holes are provided through the inner wall of the pressure drive chamber 13 and the inner wall of the sensing groove, connecting the pressure drive chamber 13 and the sensing groove. A transition ring 28 is provided on the top of the pressure drive chamber 13. The outer ring of the adapter ring 28 is in sealed contact with the inner wall of the pressure drive chamber 13. An annular groove 29 is provided within the adapter ring 28, and a plastic connecting frame 43 is provided within the groove 29. A battery holder 44 is located within the connecting frame 43. The battery and circuit board of the water immersion display mechanism are placed in the groove 29 via the connecting frame 43. Waterproof glue is injected into the connecting frame 43 to achieve a seal. The connecting wire of the water immersion sensing mechanism passes through the pressure relief hole and connects to the adapter ring 28. A first connecting ring 30 is provided in the middle of the adapter ring 28. The outer wall of the first connecting ring 30 is in sealed contact with the inner wall of the air vent 41. The connecting ring 28 is fixed and sealed by the seals on the outer side of the first connecting ring 28 and the outer side of the connecting ring 28, making the inlay groove 29 independent of the pressure flow path of the pressure driving cavity 13. Two sets of conductive contacts 32 are provided on the inner wall of the first connecting ring 30. The conductive contacts 32 are connected to the display end of the water immersion display mechanism through wires. A volume filling block 14 is also provided in the pressure driving cavity 13 below the connecting ring 28. The volume filling block 14 is made of a porous elastic material, and the wires can be fixed to the pressure driving cavity 13 through the volume filling block 14. When the valve changes from open to closed, the sensing element 19 will be soaked in water. By inputting air pressure at the end of the valve stem 6, the air pressure will enter the pressure drive chamber 13 through the transmission hole, air guide hole 41, and one-way valve 31. The pressure in the pressure drive chamber 13 will drain the water between the sensing elements 19 into the water outlet 3 through the pressure relief hole. At the same time, the constant pressure in the pressure drive chamber 13 can also prevent water from entering the top of the pressure drive chamber 13 when the valve is open and affecting the drive circuit board 45. Meanwhile, the volume filling block 14 can reduce the volume of the pressure drive chamber 13 and improve the pressure sensitivity.

[0049] like Figure 1A plug rod 34 is threadedly connected inside the transfer hole. The top of the plug rod 34 extends to the outside of the valve stem 6. An LED indicator 35 is installed at the top of the plug rod 34, and two sets of conductive rings 33 connected to the indicator lights are installed at the end of the plug rod 34. The conductive rings 33 are used to contact the conductive contacts 32 to realize the conductive connection between the display end and the LED indicator 35. After the valve is closed and pressurized, the plug rod 34 can be threaded in. The plug rod 34 can not only seal the transfer hole to prevent damage to the transfer hole, but also the LED indicator 35 at the end of the plug rod 34 can be connected to the driving power supply through the conductive contacts 32 and the conductive rings 33. When the valve leaks, the LED indicator 35 can light up at the top of the valve, which is convenient for timely observation and maintenance.

The inner wall of the rotating sleeve 40 makes a sliding sealing contact with the outer wall of the fixed ring 37, and the front end of the rotating sleeve 40 makes a sliding sealing contact with the end of the outer limiting ring 38.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A limiting ring 9 is fixed below the valve plug 8 by a thread. A second connecting ring 10 is provided at the top of the inner ring of the limiting ring 9. The second connecting ring 10 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the pressure driving chamber 13.

The bottom of the pressure relief groove 12 is provided with a pressure relief opening connected to the pressure relief connecting hole. The top of the pressure relief groove 12 has a gradually expanding structure and opens at the bottom of the sensing groove. When the second connecting ring 10 is combined with the pressure driving chamber 13, the pressure relief opening with a larger opening area will be connected to a larger number of pressure relief connecting holes 11. The wire connected to the conductive support column 21 can pass through the pressure relief connecting hole 11 and the pressure relief groove 12 and be connected to the drive circuit board 45 in the adapter ring 28.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 3A sealing ring 23 is located at the bottom of the limiting ring 9. The sealing ring 23 includes a contact portion on the annular outer wall of the limiting ring 9 and a limiting portion at the bottom of the limiting ring 9. Annular protruding positioning rings 27 are provided on both the side wall and the bottom of the limiting ring 9. A positioning groove corresponding to the positioning ring 27 is provided inside the sealing ring 23. The cooperation between the positioning ring 27 and the positioning groove prevents the sealing ring 23 from separating from the limiting ring 9. A compression ring 25 is connected to the bottom of the limiting ring 9 via a flange. The pressure driving chamber 13 is open at the connection position of the compression ring 25, facilitating the opening of the compression ring 25 to achieve pressure control. The pressure drive chamber 13 is cleaned. The outer ring of the compression ring 25 is fixed with a bottom spring 26 by the compression ring limit.

The top spring 24 is in contact with the top of the contact part. A bending structure is also provided on the outer ring of the top spring 24 and embedded in the top of the contact part of the sealing ring 23. By bidirectionally compressing the top and bottom of the sealing ring 23, it can be ensured that the sealing ring 23 will not deform or separate in the axial direction due to friction during the up and down reciprocating movement.
