[0002] The existing LNG booster pump, whose structure is as shown in the patent application with publication number CN110185598A, discloses a vehicle-use low-temperature natural gas bottle built-in booster pump. When working, the compression cylinder is inserted into the LNG bottle, the hydraulic cylinder is located outside the LNG bottle, the cylinder piston in the hydraulic cylinder reciprocates under the push of the hydraulic oil, the cylinder piston drives the piston rod to reciprocate, and the piston rod drives the compression piston in the compression cylinder to reciprocate, so that the low-temperature liquid enters the compression cylinder through the liquid inlet valve, and then is discharged from the liquid outlet valve to the outside, so as to achieve the pressurization of the low-temperature liquid. Among them, the current liquid outlet valve on the compression cylinder has the following disadvantages when working for a long time under low temperature and high pressure environment: first, the current liquid outlet valve is a single part as a whole, connected to the compression cylinder by a threaded method, and has many leakage points and a high probability of leakage under low temperature and high pressure; second, the valve core generally adopts a spherical ball, which is in line contact when sealing, and the sealing effect is poor; third, the valve core is generally made of metal material, which has a short service life due to the influence of low temperature and high pressure, and is easy to cause LNG leakage, reducing the compression efficiency.

Specific implementation method:
[0022] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an integrated liquid outlet one-way valve structure of a compression cylinder at the cold end of an LNG boosting pump comprises a compression cylinder 1, wherein a compression piston 3 connected to a piston rod 2 is arranged in the compression cylinder 1, a liquid inlet 4 and a liquid outlet are arranged on the compression cylinder 1, wherein the liquid outlet comprises a liquid outlet channel arranged in a side wall of the compression cylinder 1, wherein the inner side of the liquid outlet channel is communicated with the inner cavity of the compression cylinder 1, and the outer side of the liquid outlet channel extends to the end of the compression cylinder 1, wherein a tapered hole 7 is arranged in the liquid outlet channel, wherein a check core 8 cooperating with the tapered hole 7 is movably arranged in the liquid outlet channel, wherein a valve core 9 is fixedly installed in the liquid outlet channel outside the check core 8, wherein a spring 10 is installed between the valve core 9 and the check core 8, and wherein a fluid channel 11 is arranged in the valve core 9.
[0024] The liquid outlet channel includes a longitudinal liquid outlet channel 5 and a transverse liquid outlet channel 6 which are connected. The inner side of the longitudinal liquid outlet channel 5 is connected to the inner cavity of the compression cylinder 1. The outer side of the longitudinal liquid outlet channel 5 extends to the side of the compression cylinder 1. A plug 12 is provided at the outer port of the longitudinal liquid outlet channel 5 to facilitate the processing of the longitudinal liquid outlet channel 5. The outer side of the transverse liquid outlet channel 6 extends to the end of the compression cylinder 1. The tapered hole 7 is provided at a position of the transverse liquid outlet channel 6 close to the longitudinal liquid outlet channel 5.
[0025] The non-return core 8 is provided with a conical surface 13 which matches with the conical hole 7. The conical surface 13 matches with the conical hole 7 to achieve surface-to-surface sealing, and the sealing effect is better.
[0026] A plurality of liquid outlet grooves 14 are provided on the side wall of the non-return core 8 , and the liquid can flow out through the liquid outlet grooves 14 .
[0027] The non-return core 8 is made of fluorocarbon. Preferably, the non-return core 8 of the utility model is made of PCTFE material, which is resistant to pressure and low temperature, has strong anti-corrosion ability, and has more stable and reliable performance in low temperature and high pressure environment.
[0028] The outer surface of the valve core 9 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the transverse liquid outlet channel 6 .
[0029] A spring groove is provided at the inner end of the valve core 9, and a spring 10 is provided in the spring groove. One end of the spring 10 abuts against the bottom of the spring groove, and the other end abuts against the check core 8.

[0032] Working principle:
[0033] When liquid is introduced, the piston rod 2 drives the compression piston 3 to move to the left, and the liquid enters the inner cavity of the compression cylinder 1 from the liquid inlet 4. Under the action of the spring 10, the conical surface 13 of the check core 8 contacts and seals with the conical hole 7, closing the lateral liquid outlet channel 6, which can achieve a good check effect.
[0034] When the liquid is discharged, the piston rod 2 drives the compression piston 3 to move to the right to pressurize the liquid. After the liquid pressure continues to increase, it pushes the check core 8 to move and compresses the spring 10, so that a gap is generated between the conical surface 13 of the check core 8 and the conical hole 7. The liquid can then pass through the liquid outlet groove 14 and the liquid outlet hole 15 into the fluid channel 11 and be discharged outward.
[0035] The above-mentioned specific implementation manner cannot be used as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, any replacement, improvement or change made to the implementation manner of the present utility model falls within the protection scope of the present utility model.
