[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The air inlet 2 is used to introduce natural gas, and the air outlet 3 is used to lead out natural gas. The clear design of air inlet 2 and air outlet 3 simplifies the layout and installation process of the pipeline system, reduces the risk of installation errors, and the optimized air flow channel reduces the pressure loss and turbulence of natural gas when passing through the valve, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the pipeline system.
[0047] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The material of the valve pipe 1 is a steel pipe, and the material of the valve core 503 is carbon steel. The steel pipe has good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, and can withstand the high pressure and high temperature environment of the natural gas pipeline. Moreover, the carbon steel valve core 503 has excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, and can maintain stable performance during frequent switching operations.
[0048] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The controller 501 and the rotating motor 601 are both electrically connected to the external temperature sensor, and the external temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature inside the pipe, so as to start the controller 501 and the rotating motor 601. The temperature sensor can monitor the internal temperature of the pipeline in real time, detect abnormal conditions in time and trigger corresponding safety measures. Moreover, the electrical connection with the controller 501 and the rotating motor 601 realizes automatic control and improves the response speed and accuracy of the valve system.
[0049] The implementation principle of the utility model is as follows: first, the valve core tube 502 of the regulating valve 5 is installed inside the valve tube 1, ensuring that the valve core 503 can rotate freely inside the valve core tube 502, and at the same time installing the fire-blocking mechanism 4, connecting the fire-blocking tube 401 with the corresponding part of the valve tube 1, and ensuring that a plurality of fire-blocking plates 403 are placed inside the fire-blocking plate groove 402, and each fire-blocking plate 403 is provided with a fire-dividing hole;
[0050] Subsequently, the blocking mechanism 6 is installed at the inner front end of the flame arrester tube 401, the rotating motor 601 is connected to the gear set and the rotating rod 602 to ensure that the rotating motor 601 can drive the rotating rod 602 to rotate, and the blocking plate 603 is set on the rotating rod 602;
[0051] When in use, under normal circumstances, natural gas enters the valve pipe 1 from the air inlet 2, and flows to the air outlet 3 through the first valve port 504 and the second valve port 505 of the valve core 503 of the regulating valve 5. When the internal pressure of the natural gas pipeline is too high or flame propagation occurs, the external temperature sensor senses the abnormal temperature and sends a signal to the controller 501 and the rotating motor 601. When the controller 501 receives the signal, it drives the valve core 503 to rotate, closes the first valve port 504 and the second valve port 505, and prevents the natural gas from continuing to pass. At the same time, after receiving the signal, the rotating motor 601 drives the rotating rod 602 and the blocking plate 603 to rotate through the gear set, so that the blocking plate 603 forms a certain angle with the axis of the fire-blocking tube 401, and guides the natural gas to enter the fire-blocking tube 401.
[0052] The natural gas entering the flame arrester tube 401 is dispersed and cooled when passing through the plurality of flame arrester sheets 403, and the flame is blocked or extinguished. At the same time, the gas and heat generated by partial combustion are discharged through the flame distribution holes and the pressure relief port 404 on the flame arrester sheets 403.
