AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing ultra-low temperature ball valve sealing structure, the circular sealing gasket has a single effect and a poor sealing effect, making it difficult to meet the high sealing requirements of ultra-low temperature media.

Method used

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ball valves, and in particular relates to a sealing structure of an ultra-low temperature ball valve. Background Art

[0002] Cryogenic ball valves are mainly used in chemical plants such as ethylene and liquefied natural gas, and output liquid cryogenic media such as ethylene, liquid oxygen, and liquid hydrogen. These media are not only flammable and explosive, but also gasify when heated, and the volume expands hundreds of times. Moreover, these media have strong permeability and are easy to leak, making them difficult to process and manufacture. The valve seat is a detachable surface part in the valve, which is used to support the fully closed position of the valve core and form a sealing pair. Generally, the valve seat diameter is the maximum flow diameter of the valve.

[0003] However, the sealing structure of the existing cryogenic ball valve is a circular sealing gasket, but the effect of the sealing gasket is single and the sealing effect is not good, so a cryogenic ball valve sealing structure is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a sealing structure of an ultra-low temperature ball valve to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a sealing structure of an ultra-low temperature ball valve, comprising a ball valve body and two connecting pipes, wherein a first sealing groove is provided on both sides of the ball valve body, and a second sealing groove is provided on the adjacent sides of the two connecting pipes, and the same sealing gasket is provided in the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove on one side, and two folding cavities are provided in the sealing gasket, and a plurality of springs are connected in the two folding cavities.

[0006] By setting the above structure, the sealing gasket is inserted into the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove, and when the connecting pipe and the ball valve body are connected together by bolts and nuts, the two folding cavities in the sealing gasket are deformed and then stuck into the corresponding parts of the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove, so that the deformed sealing gasket can connect the connecting pipe and the ball valve body together with high sealing, and the multiple springs in the folding cavity are contracted, and the contracted multiple springs can tightly lock the external nut outside the bolt, so that the nut is not easy to loosen outside the bolt, so that the sealing structure can firmly connect the ball valve body and the connecting pipe together.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the shape of the sealing gasket is set to be circular.

[0008] As a preferred implementation, the shapes of the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove are both circular.

[0009] As a preferred implementation manner, the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove are respectively arranged outside a plurality of springs.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the plurality of springs located in the folding cavity are arranged in a circular array.

[0011] By providing a spring, a folding cavity and a sealing gasket, when the folding cavity is not squeezed by an external force, the two folding cavities are both expanded under the action of a plurality of spring elastic forces, so that the fully expanded sealing gasket can be smoothly moved out of the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove.

[0012] As a preferred implementation, two portions of trapezoidal protrusions are provided on the outside and inside of the sealing gasket.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] The utility model is provided with a sealing gasket, a spring, a folding cavity, a first sealing groove and a second sealing groove. The sealing gasket is inserted into the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove. When the connecting pipe and the ball valve body are connected together by bolts and nuts, the two folding cavities in the sealing gasket are deformed and then inserted into the corresponding parts in the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove, so that the deformed sealing gasket can connect the connecting pipe and the ball valve body together with high sealing, and the plurality of springs in the folding cavity are contracted. The contracted plurality of springs can tightly lock the external nut outside the bolt, so that the nut is not easy to loosen outside the bolt, so that the sealing structure can stably connect the ball valve body and the connecting pipe together.

[0015] The utility model is provided with a spring, a folding cavity and a sealing gasket. When the folding cavity is not squeezed by an external force, the two folding cavities are both unfolded under the action of a plurality of spring elastic forces, so that the fully unfolded sealing gasket can be smoothly moved out from the first sealing groove and the second sealing groove.
