Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of valve sealing gaskets, in particular to a sealing connection safety gasket and a valve. BACKGROUND
[0002] The sealing performance of the connection between the valve and the pipeline directly affects the safety and stability of the fluid conveying system. At present, the valve sealing gasket is mostly made of a rigid main body structure matched with an internal limiting plate to realize the positioning and sealing of the pipeline end, for example, a valve sealing combination safety gasket disclosed in Chinese patent CN223387975U, which improves the position stability and sealing reliability of installation by setting a first limiting plate, a second limiting plate and a second assembly limiting column. To some extent, this kind of structure improves the problems of easy displacement and poor bearing capacity of traditional rubber gaskets.
[0003] However, in actual industrial sites, especially in the process of installing heavy pipelines, due to the attachment of oil stains, dust or metal debris on the outer wall and end face of the pipeline, and the difficulty in centering the pipeline and the limited operation space, the pipeline is prone to deflection or jam when inserted into the gasket, which brings challenges to the efficient assembly and reliable sealing of the sealing gasket. Although the existing valve sealing combination safety gasket is provided with a guide chamfer structure, its function is limited to providing basic assembly guide, and it cannot process the attachments on the end face of the pipeline. When the heavy pipeline with attachments is inserted, the attachments will be squeezed between the inner wall of the gasket and the outer wall of the pipeline, resulting in a significant increase in the contact friction force between them; in order to ensure that the pipeline is inserted in place, the operator needs to exert a greater axial pushing force, which is easy to cause the gasket to move slightly in the installation clamp, and then cause local high stress contact damage on the outer wall of the pipeline and the sealing area. In addition, the traditional gasket lacks effective pipeline rotation limiting structure, and the pipeline may still rotate due to external force after being installed in place, affecting the long-term stability of the connection. This damage not only destroys the coaxiality of the connection, but also affects the integrity of the sealing structure, resulting in a decrease in sealing reliability during long-term use, and even causing the risk of medium leakage. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the existing technology to solve the problems of installation difficulty and insufficient connection stability caused by pollutants in the assembly of heavy pipelines.

[0026] The annular bearing plate is integrally formed with the main sealing column, the plate surface of the annular bearing plate is perpendicular to the axis direction of the center assembly hole, the thickness of the annular bearing plate is greater than the inner wall thickness of other parts of the center assembly hole, and sufficient axial bearing capacity is provided. The two sides of the annular bearing plate towards the pipeline insertion direction of the upper and lower ends of the center assembly hole are provided with the limiting protrusions, the limiting protrusions are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the annular bearing plate, the limiting protrusions are used for cooperating with the groove structure of the end surface of the pipeline to limit the rotation of the pipeline after installation.
[0027] The tapered guide surface is provided on the port edges of the upper and lower ends of the center assembly hole, the tapered curved surface of the tapered guide surface is smooth, the generatrix of the tapered guide surface and the axis of the center assembly hole form an acute angle of 30-60 degrees, and the tapered guide surface is used for guiding the automatic centering of the pipeline during insertion, the inner wall of the center assembly hole is provided with the spiral flow guide grooves behind the tapered guide surface, the spiral flow guide grooves are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the center assembly hole and extend along the pipeline insertion direction, the distribution mode of the spiral flow guide grooves can ensure that the attachments in the circumferential direction of the pipeline are scraped without dead angle, and impurities are avoided from being left in local areas due to no flow guide grooves being arranged.
[0028] The tapered guide surface is provided on the port edges of the upper and lower ends of the center assembly hole, the tapered curved surface of the tapered guide surface is smooth, the generatrix of the tapered guide surface and the axis of the center assembly hole form an acute angle of 30-60 degrees, and the tapered guide surface is used for guiding the automatic centering of the pipeline during insertion, the inner wall of the center assembly hole is provided with the spiral flow guide grooves behind the tapered guide surface, the spiral flow guide grooves are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the center assembly hole and extend along the pipeline insertion direction, the distribution mode of the spiral flow guide grooves can ensure that the attachments in the circumferential direction of the pipeline are scraped without dead angle, and impurities are avoided from being left in local areas due to no flow guide grooves being arranged.
[0029] In some embodiments, the helical angle a of the helical flow guide groove 5 is set to a specific angle range, for example, it can be set to 15°-25°, which takes into account the axial thrust required for smooth forward movement of pollutants and the circumferential scraping coverage area. Too small an angle will cause the pollutants to stagnate in the groove, and too large an angle will easily cause the scraped particles to be thrown back to the sealing area; at the same time, the circumferential spacing q between the two adjacent helical flow guide grooves is controlled to a specific angle range, for example, it can be set to 30°-45°, so that the outer wall of the pipeline 8 is at least overlapped by two helical flow guide grooves on the same circumferential section, forming a "blind area-free" scraping zone, ensuring that the attachments within a 360° range can be continuously scraped and introduced into the annular sump.
[0030] In other embodiments, the depth of the groove of the helical flow guide groove 5 gradually increases along the insertion direction of the pipeline 8, forming a gradually deepening flow guide channel structure. This depth gradient design is based on the accumulation characteristics of pollutants during the insertion of the pipeline 8: as the pipeline 8 continues to penetrate, the amount of attachments scraped by the scraping edge increases, requiring more space. The deeper end region can effectively accommodate more pollutants, preventing blockage due to insufficient space; at the same time, the transition structure from shallow to deep facilitates the smooth flow of pollutants to the sump direction, avoiding accumulation in the middle of the flow guide groove. This gradually deepening design maximizes the pollutant accommodation capacity while ensuring structural strength.
[0031] The cross-sectional shape of the helical flow guide groove 5 is arc-shaped or U-shaped, and the scraping edge 51 is provided near the edge of the helical flow guide groove 5 close to the annular bearing plate 3. This position design enables the scraping edge to effectively scrape the dirt on the outer wall of the pipeline 8 into the helical flow guide groove 5 during the insertion of the pipeline 8, ensuring the cleanliness of the contact surface. The scraping edge 51 is formed by a silicone or polyurethane elastic material coating, which is used to scrape the attachments on the outer wall during the insertion of the pipeline 8, while avoiding scratching the outer wall of the pipeline 8.
[0032] In some embodiments, the scraping edge 51 adopts a wedge-shaped protruding structure, and the height gradually increases along the insertion direction of the pipeline 8. This wedge-shaped design realizes a progressive scraping function: the lower scraping edge in the front section can preliminarily clean loose attachments, the gradually increasing scraping edge in the middle section can handle more stubborn pollutants, and the highest scraping edge in the end section can complete the final fine cleaning. This hierarchical scraping mechanism ensures cleaning effectiveness while avoiding insertion difficulties caused by excessive scraping resistance. At the same time, the slope design of the wedge-shaped structure makes the scraping process more stable, reducing vibration and impact during the insertion of the pipeline 8. The thickness of the elastic material coating on the surface of the scraping edge also changes accordingly, and the coating design of thin in front and thick in back ensures the scraping force while providing increasingly perfect protection for the pipeline 8.
[0033] The junction position of the annular bearing plate 3 and the inner wall of the center assembly hole 2 is provided with an annular dirt collecting groove 6, which extends along the circumference of the inner wall of the center assembly hole 2, and the depth and width of the annular dirt collecting groove 6 are greater than the depth and width of the spiral flow guide groove 5. The end of the spiral flow guide groove 5 communicates with the annular dirt collecting groove 6, which is used for collecting and storing the scraped off contaminants.
[0034] The valve includes a valve body 7, a pipe 8 and the above-mentioned sealing connection safety gasket. The sealing connection safety gasket is installed at the pipe 8 connection port of the valve body 7 by a fastener. The end of the pipe 8 is inserted into the center assembly hole 2, and the end face is provided with a groove structure 81 matched with the limiting block 31. The end face of the pipe 8 abuts against the side surface of the annular bearing plate 3, forming axial limiting.
[0035] The working principle of the present application is as follows: when the heavy pipe 8 is assembled in the industrial field, impurities such as oil stains, dust or metal debris may be attached to the outer wall of the pipe 8. During the insertion process, the pipe 8 first contacts the tapered guide surface 4, which guides the pipe 8 to be centered. As the pipe 8 continues to be inserted, the outer wall contacts the scraping edge 51 located at the edge of the spiral flow guide groove 5 close to the annular bearing plate 3. As the pipe 8 enters, the scraping edge 51 scrapes off the attachments on the outer wall into the spiral flow guide groove 5, and the slight rotation or shaking during the adjustment process drives the scraping edge 51 to scrape off the attachments on the outer wall. The scraped off contaminants are guided along the spiral trajectory of the spiral flow guide groove 5 into the annular dirt collecting groove 6 for storage, avoiding the contaminants from entering the sealing area. The pipe 8 is finally inserted into position, and the end face groove structure 81 is embedded with the limiting block 31, preventing the pipe 8 from rotating, while the end face of the pipe 8 abuts against the annular bearing plate 3, forming stable axial limiting, enhancing the stability of the connection between the pipe 8 and the valve.
[0036] Through the above mechanism, the present application realizes self-cleaning during insertion of the pipe 8 and anti-rotation function after insertion, significantly reduces the installation resistance, and improves the coaxiality of the connection and the long-term sealing reliability.
[0037] The above-mentioned is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
