[0026] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model, the following is a brief introduction to the drawings required for the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some examples or embodiments of the utility model. The technical features of each embodiment can be combined with each other to form a practical solution to achieve the purpose of the invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, the utility model can also be applied to other similar scenarios based on these drawings without creative work. Unless it is obvious from the language environment or otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in the figures represent the same structure or operation.

[0027] It should be understood that the "system" and "unit" used herein are a method for distinguishing different components, elements, parts, parts or assemblies at different levels. However, if other words can achieve the same purpose, the words can be replaced by other expressions. In addition, the "system" and "unit" can be implemented by software or hardware, and can be a physical or virtual name for the functional part.

[0028] The present invention uses a flow chart to illustrate the operations performed by the system according to the embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the preceding or following operations are not necessarily performed precisely in order. On the contrary, the various steps may be processed in reverse order or simultaneously. At the same time, other operations may be added to these processes, or one or more operations may be removed from these processes. The technical solutions in the various embodiments may be combined with each other to achieve the purpose of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a schematic diagram of the closed state of the inlet and outlet check valves of a pump of the utility model, the valve seat 1 and the valve disc 2 are closed; Figure 2 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the one-way valve of the present invention in an open state, with the valve seat 1 and the valve disc 2 being open.

[0030] The utility model provides an inlet and outlet check valve for a pump, comprising a valve seat 1 and a valve disc 2; the valve disc 2 is an integrated structure; the contact surface between the valve disc 2 and the valve seat 1 is a hard sealing structure, the contact surface of the valve disc 2 and the contact surface of the valve seat 1 are coupled in pairs, the yin and yang complement each other, and the sealing is achieved through close contact; the contact surface between the valve disc 2 and the valve seat 1 is a frustum straight surface or an arc surface.

[0031] When the cone or arc surface of the valve disc 2 is in close contact with the cone straight surface or arc surface of the valve seat 1, automatic alignment and centering are achieved according to the principle of taper or arc action.

[0032] The valve disc contact surface and the valve seat contact surface appear in pairs, but they are not paired with the same shape and size. They are a product design pairing guided by the philosophical concept of yin and yang complementarity. The complementarity of the cone table surface of the valve disc 2 and the cone ring surface of the valve seat 1, or the complementarity of the arc surface structure, can achieve self-repair compensation for the wear resistance of the sealing surface, that is, after the valve disc 2 and the valve seat 1 are worn out during use, their contact surfaces can perform self-repair compensation functions, thereby obtaining excellent sealing performance and long service life.

[0033] The contact surface between the valve disc 2 and the valve seat 1 is a hard seal structure. The contact surface is precisely machined to achieve hard contact between metal surfaces and meet the sealing requirements of the application. When it is actually used in the pump, its service life reaches 500-600 hours, which greatly reduces the user cost. As the manufacturing process becomes more mature and complete, its service life still has a lot of room for improvement, and the goal is to reach about 2000 hours.

[0034] In the present utility model, the shape and angle of the contact between the valve disc 2 and the valve seat 1 can be an arc or a frustum straight surface. The shape and size of the arc surface are not spherical, and the arc does not reach the large arc of the spherical surface. It only has a certain small arc compared with the straight surface, and the arc is between the arc of the straight surface and the arc of the spherical surface. The spherical surface contact is difficult to process initially, and the contact surface cannot be self-repaired and compensated after wear after use. The wear results of the spherical surface of the valve disc and the valve seat in the application are different. The spherical surface size and shape of the valve disc and the valve seat will soon differ, and there will no longer be good contact, so the seal will soon fail, and there is actually no practical application value. The radius of curvature of the arc is not necessarily equal, it may be a variable diameter, or it may conform to a curve function relationship such as a parabola. The contact area of ​​the valve seat 1 and the valve disc 2 in the closed state forms an arc surface (line) or a straight surface (line), but is not limited to the above-mentioned contact shape. Figure 7 A partial schematic diagram of the closed arc surface contact between the valve seat and the valve disc, wherein the contact surface 15 is an arc surface, and the arc size can be adjusted.

[0035] The cone angle or arc size of the contact surface is optimized by pressure, fluid flow, diameter, fluid properties including the proportion of solid, liquid and gas, temperature, corrosiveness, solid particle content, viscosity and other parameters. The contact cone angle includes various possible angles to achieve the purpose of reliable sealing, wear resistance, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, erosion resistance and long service life.

[0036] like Figure 3The integrated structure valve disc (2) shown in the figure, the "integrated" mentioned here can be made by forging, casting, or by welding, bonding, spraying, plating, etc. The contact force of the whole is the attraction between molecules, rather than relying on mechanical fixing force to assemble the structure. The integrated manufacturing has high strength and good concentricity. The one-way valve with an integrated structure solves the problem of increasing the service life, which can reach a service life of 500-600 hours, and the benefit is significantly increased.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the schematic diagram of the installation and application of the one-way valve is shown. A one-way valve is installed at the inlet and outlet ends respectively. The valve disc 2 moves away and approaches along the inner hole of the valve seat 1. When the outer cone surface 4 of the valve disc 2 is in close contact with the inner cone surface 5 of the valve seat 1, the valve disc 2 is subjected to fluid pressure, and the sealing surface of the contact part is subjected to huge stress. When the valve disc 2 is separated from the valve seat 1 and reaches the fully open state, the space formed between the outer cone surface 4 of the valve disc and the inner cone surface 5 of the valve seat 1 is the fluid channel 11, and its cone surface is subjected to the destructive effects of high-speed erosion, abrasion, corrosion, cavitation, etc. of the fluid.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, a spring 12 is provided on the upper part of the valve disc 2, one end of the spring 12 is connected to the upper part of the valve disc 2, and the other end is connected to the pump body guide sleeve 13. The initial effect of the spring 12 on the valve disc 2 improves the transient response parameters of the one-way valve at the moment of opening and closing, improves the one-way valve after it is worn in use, and plays a compensatory role in promoting the contact repair between the valve disc 2 and the valve seat 1, thereby extending the service life.

[0039] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the outer surface of the valve seat 1 is a conical surface 9, and the outer conical surface 9 of the valve seat 1 cooperates with the conical hole of the pump hydraulic end base 14, which can automatically center and align, and position it securely according to the conical angle of the self-locking angle.

[0040] A semicircular groove 6 is provided in the middle of the outer cone of the valve seat 1 for accommodating a positioning clamp ring so that the positioning clamp ring can be installed repeatedly and consistently when the pump base 14 is installed, and can be easily pulled out when the valve seat 1 is replaced.

[0041] The semicircular groove in the middle part of the outer cone of the valve seat 1 is provided with sealing ring grooves above and below for accommodating the sealing ring, and the two O-ring sealing grooves provide two external sealing guarantees.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the inner conical surface 5 and the outer conical surface 9 of the valve seat 1 are manufactured in an integrated manner, and have high strength and good concentricity.

[0043] Special metal materials with good wear resistance, high strength resistance, high temperature resistance, high hardness, good corrosion resistance and easy forming and processing are used. After precision processing and heat treatment process, hard contact of metal surfaces is achieved to meet the sealing requirements of valve seat 1 and valve disc 2, thereby eliminating rubber sealing rings; the surface of hard seal contact is wear-resistant, erosion-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, with a long service life, and wins good social benefits. The difficulty of machining is reduced, mechanization and automation are facilitated, and product precision is improved; special materials are mainly obtained by screening and optimizing the content of carbon, silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, copper, iron and other components and their mutual proportions through experimental verification. Special materials can improve the organization through heat treatment process to obtain high strength and high hardness performance.

[0044] Improve strength performance through heat treatment process. Mainly through heating, heat preservation, incubation, cooling, and then heating, heat preservation and cooling to obtain the expected organization, with high strength and high hardness performance. Through appropriate heat treatment process technology solutions, the required impact resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and erosion resistance of the product are obtained, and the unique structural characteristics of the one-way valve product are obtained by using advanced sealing theory, etc., to achieve the requirements of high strength, reliable sealing, and long service life of the one-way valve.

[0045] The material and manufacturing process of the valve seat are of the same level as the valve disc, achieving a long service life.

[0046] The patented product of this utility model is applied to the one-way valve of the fluid suction port and discharge port of the hydraulic end of various mud pumps, oil drilling pumps, marine pumps, etc., as an opening and closing part to control the fluid delivery.

[0047] The utility model patented product is implemented in mud pump products. The materials of the valve seat 1 and the valve disc 2 can be selected from alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, cobalt-based alloy, ceramics, other hard non-metallic materials, but not limited to the above materials. The molding method can be selected from casting, forging, welding, coating, machining and other processing methods, but not limited to the above molding and processing methods. After appropriate heat treatment process, the product can achieve the required wear resistance, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, erosion resistance, cavitation resistance, high hardness, high strength and other properties.

[0048] The utility model adopts hard seal contact technology, and through the selection of appropriate materials, molding methods, heat treatment processes and mechanical processing technologies, the contact sealing surface between the valve disc 2 and the valve seat 1 has the performance of high hardness, low roughness and high strength, and achieves impact resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and erosion resistance, thereby extending the service life and reducing costs.

[0050] The basic concepts have been described above. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, the above detailed disclosure is only an example and does not constitute a limitation of the present invention.
