[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present application provides a pressure reducing stop valve 1000, which comprises a valve body 1, a valve seat 2, a valve 3 and a lifting mechanism. The valve body 1 is provided with a cavity, and a vertical opening and closing opening is arranged in the middle of the cavity. The valve seat 2 is arranged around the opening and closing opening. The valve 3 is located above the valve seat 2 and is sealingly connected with the valve seat 2. The bottom of the valve 3 protrudes and is provided with a water stop ring 31, and the water stop ring 31 is made of rubber. The lifting mechanism comprises a valve stem 4, the valve stem 4 is connected with the valve 3, and the valve stem 4 is used to drive the valve 3 to rise or fall, so as to open or close the opening and closing opening. The water stop ring 31 is used to stop the sprayed medium.
[0030] Specifically, the valve body 1 can be made of cast iron, stainless steel or other pressure-resistant materials, and the chamber shape can be cylindrical or rectangular. The diameter of the opening and closing port can be designed to be 10-50mm according to the medium flow requirement. The valve seat 2 is usually made of metal material, and the surface can be plated with hard chromium to improve the wear resistance. The sealing connection mode of the valve disc 3 and the valve seat 2 includes plane sealing, conical sealing or spherical sealing. The valve stem 4 of the lifting mechanism can be driven by screw thread or hydraulic pressure, and the diameter of the valve stem 4 is usually 8-20mm.
[0031] The technical scheme sets the water blocking ring 31 structure, effectively solves the technical problem of medium injection caused by the stop valve in the opening and closing process. When the valve disc 3 moves, the water blocking ring 31 can block the high-speed injection of the medium, avoiding the direct impact of the medium on the inner wall and the sealing part of the valve body 1. Thus, the noise during valve operation is reduced, and the impact damage of the medium to the internal structure of the valve body 1 is reduced. Compared with the prior art, the scheme significantly improves the service life and operation comfort of the valve while maintaining the basic function of the stop valve. Specifically, the water blocking ring 31 made of rubber material has good buffering performance and can effectively absorb the impact energy of the medium. During the movement of the valve stem 4 driving the valve disc 3, the water blocking ring 31 is always on the medium flow path, forming a continuous protective barrier.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, the application also proposes that the water blocking ring 31 and the valve disc 3 are detachably connected. Through the detachable connection structure, the water blocking ring 31 can be conveniently replaced and maintained.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 Further, the application also proposes that the bottom of the valve disc 3 is recessed with an annular groove 32, the inner wall of the annular groove 32 is provided with threads, the water blocking ring 31 includes a threaded ring 311 and a stop ring 312, the threaded ring 311 is threadedly connected with the annular groove 32, and the stop ring 312 is arranged below the threaded ring 311.
[0034] Specifically, the annular groove 32 is a groove structure arranged circumferentially around the bottom of the valve disc 3, and the inner wall thereof is provided with internal threads. The threaded ring 311 is an annular component with external threads, and is detachably connected to the valve disc 3 through thread cooperation. The stop ring 312 is fixed below the threaded ring 311, and can be connected by welding, clamping or one-piece forming. As a preferred embodiment, the threaded ring 311 and the stop ring 312 can be made of different materials, for example, the threaded ring 311 is made of metal to ensure the connection strength, and the stop ring 312 is made of rubber to achieve the buffering function. Further, the depth of the annular groove 32 can be set to 5-8mm, and the threads are fine threads to enhance the connection stability. The assembly method of the water retaining ring 31 includes: first, pre-assembling the stop ring 312 at the bottom of the threaded ring 311, and then screwing the threaded ring 311 into the annular groove 32 of the valve disc 3 until it is in place.
[0035] Thus, the technical scheme realizes the modular design of the water retaining ring 31 through the threaded connection structure. When the stop ring 312 is worn out due to long-term use, only the threaded ring 311 needs to be rotated and disassembled to replace the water retaining ring 31 component, without the need to replace the valve disc 3 as a whole. Compared with the traditional buckle or adhesive method, the threaded connection method has higher connection reliability and sealing performance, and can effectively prevent the components from falling off due to the impact of high-pressure medium. At the same time, the split structure facilitates the selection of different materials for the stop ring 312 according to the actual working conditions, for example, in a corrosive medium environment, a corrosion-resistant rubber material can be used. This design significantly improves the maintenance convenience of the valve and the economy of component replacement under the premise of ensuring the sealing performance.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, the present application also proposes that the cross-sectional diameter of the stop ring 312 gradually increases from top to bottom.
[0037] Specifically, the cross-sectional diameter change of the stop ring 312 can be implemented in various ways. For example, the stop ring 312 can be designed as a flat-topped pyramid structure, and the side surface thereof is an inclined plane; or the inner wall surface of the stop ring 312 can be an arc-shaped concave structure, forming a shape similar to a trumpet mouth; or a multi-section structure with stepped diameter change. These designs can all achieve the effect of gradually increasing the diameter of the stop ring 312 from top to bottom. As a preferred embodiment, the inclination angle of the stop ring 312 is controlled to be between 15-45 degrees, to ensure that the medium jet can be effectively blocked, and the structure volume is not excessively increased.
[0038] Therefore, the technical scheme can effectively block the medium jet during the closing process of the valve disc 3 by designing the stop ring 312 as a gradually expanding structure. When the valve disc 3 moves downward, the gradually expanding stop ring 312 first contacts the medium flow, and the gradually increasing diameter can block the jet medium at different angles in stages, thereby significantly reducing the impact force of the medium on the inner wall of the valve body 1 and the sealing part. Compared with the prior art, this structural design can more evenly disperse the medium impact, reduce the formation of local high-pressure areas, reduce the noise during valve operation, and prolong the service life of the key components of the valve.
[0039] Further, the inner wall surface of the stop ring 312 is provided with an arc-shaped concave structure. Specifically, the arc-shaped concave structure is formed by a curved surface transition, and the radius of curvature can be adaptively adjusted according to the medium flow rate and pressure. As a preferred embodiment, the radius of curvature of the arc-shaped concave structure is 5-15 mm, and the concave depth is 3-8 mm. In addition, the surface of the arc-shaped concave structure can be polished to reduce the flow resistance, or a wear-resistant coating can be provided to prolong the service life. In terms of processing technology, the structure can be realized by injection molding or mechanical processing.
[0040] The technical scheme optimizes the inner wall structure of the stop ring 312 to produce a laminar flow effect when the medium flows, effectively weakening the impact force of the medium jet. The arc-shaped concave structure can guide the medium to flow along a predetermined path to avoid turbulence, and at the same time, the design reduces the direct impact of the medium on the inner wall of the valve body 1, which helps to prolong the service life of the sealing element. In actual application, this structure is particularly suitable for high-pressure differential working conditions, and when the valve disc 3 is in a half-open state, the flow state of the medium can be significantly improved.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, the application further provides that the top of the valve seat 2 is provided with a displacement slot 21, and the stop ring 312 is arranged in the displacement slot 21 when the valve disc 3 is in the closed state. The stop ring 312 is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the through holes are used to flow out a small part of the medium via the through holes when the stop ring 312 is not completely separated from the displacement slot 21, so as to realize early diversion.
[0042] The specific structure of the accommodation groove 21 can be an annular groove with a depth slightly larger than the height of the stop ring 312, so that the stop ring 312 can be completely embedded therein. The technical scheme allows a small amount of medium to flow out in advance by providing a through hole on the stop ring 312 at the initial stage of valve opening, effectively alleviating the impact caused by sudden change of medium pressure. Specifically, when the valve disc 3 starts to rise, the stop ring 312 has not completely separated from the accommodation groove 21, at which time the medium can be shunted through the through hole, avoiding the problem of sudden injection of medium in the traditional structure. As a result, the noise during the opening of the valve is significantly reduced, and the impact on the inner wall of the valve body 1 and the sealing element is also reduced, prolonging the service life of the valve. This design is particularly suitable for situations that require frequent operation, and can effectively improve the working performance of the valve.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, the application also proposes that the bottom of the valve disc 3 and the top of the valve seat 2 are provided with elastic sealing elements 5.
[0044] Specifically, the elastic sealing element 5 can be made of rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone, etc. Among them, rubber material has good elasticity and wear resistance, polytetrafluoroethylene has corrosion resistance and self-lubricating properties, and silicone is suitable for high temperature environment. The sealing element can be fixed on the bottom of the valve disc 3 and the top of the valve seat 2 by adhesion, buckle or interference fit. As a preferred embodiment, the sealing element can be designed as an annular structure to ensure uniform sealing pressure with the corresponding contact surface. In addition, the thickness and hardness of the sealing element can be adjusted according to the pressure and temperature of the medium to adapt to different working conditions.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, the application also proposes that the bottom surface of the sealing element at the bottom of the valve disc 3 is provided with an inverted inclined surface, and the inner ring of the top surface of the sealing element at the top of the valve seat 2 is provided with a guide inclined surface, and the two guide inclined surfaces are in close contact with the sealing.
[0046] Specifically, the inverted inclined surface refers to the inclined surface formed on the bottom surface of the sealing element, and the inclined direction thereof is towards the central axis of the valve disc 3. The guide inclined surface refers to the inclined surface formed on the inner ring of the top surface of the sealing element, and the inclined direction thereof is complementary to the inverted inclined surface. The two inclined surfaces realize sealing by mutual close contact. In addition, the inclined surface can be made of wear-resistant rubber material to enhance the sealing durability. In another embodiment, micro grooves can be provided on the inclined surface for discharging residual medium when in contact.
[0047] The technical scheme realizes gradual sealing contact in the closing process of the valve disc 3 through the inclined surface matching structure. When the valve disc 3 is pressed down, the reverse inclined surface and the guide inclined surface first form linear contact, and gradually expand into surface contact with the increase of pressure. This design effectively disperses the stress concentration of the sealing surface, avoids the local wear problem easily occurring in the traditional plane sealing, and simultaneously, the inclined surface structure can quickly separate from the contact when the valve is opened, reduces the friction resistance. Compared with the existing plane sealing structure, the scheme significantly improves the service life of the sealing element, and reduces the valve operation torque.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Further, the application also proposes that the outer side of the valve body 1 is provided with a structure reinforcing rib 6. Through the structure reinforcing rib 6 arranged on the outer side of the valve body 1, the stress concentration generated by the medium pressure can be effectively dispersed, and the deformation or cracking of the valve body 1 under high pressure working condition is prevented. Since the stop valve bears alternating stress in the opening and closing process, the arrangement of the reinforcing rib 6 can significantly improve the fatigue resistance of the valve body 1.
[0049] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the application, and does not limit the patent scope of the application, and any equivalent structural transformation made according to the technical concept of the application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the application.
