Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plug valves, in particular to a spring-assisted sealing structure of a pressure-balanced plug valve. Background Art

[0002] The plug valve is a rotary valve in the shape of a closing piece or a plunger. It is a valve that can be opened or closed by rotating 90 degrees to connect or separate the channel opening on the valve plug with the channel opening on the valve body.

[0003] According to the Chinese patent publication number CN219035613U, the technical solution disclosed in the patent document is as follows: The utility model relates to a plug valve, including a valve body, a valve core assembly, a valve stem, a protective sleeve and a plug cover; the valve stem includes: a drive shaft and a mounting shaft; the drive shaft and the mounting shaft are integrally formed; the valve core assembly is installed to the mounting shaft; the mounting shaft is located in the protective sleeve; the valve body includes: a main body and a neck for guiding the rotation of the drive shaft; the main body and the neck are integrally formed; a plug valve, further including: a plane conflict piece; the plane conflict piece is installed to the bottom of the mounting shaft; the bottom surface of the plane conflict piece and the top surface of the plug cover are both planes; the plane conflict piece and the plug cover are abutted by the bottom surface of the plane conflict piece and the top surface of the plug cover. The utility model is beneficial in that by increasing the neck size, the valve stem is positioned on one side, and the plane conflict piece installed on the valve stem is only axially limited and does not participate in radial positioning. Reduce the problems affecting the installation and use of the valve stem caused by the assembly error of the parts.

[0004] The above patent has the following shortcomings: when the plug valve is opened for discharge, the plug will move downward away from the valve body. If the valve cover is deformed downward due to pressure, resulting in a large downward movement of the plug and a large gap between the plug and the valve body, a large amount of sealing grease will be blown out each time the plug is discharged, which may fail to meet the requirement of grease injection once every 5 times in the 70 switch tests in the "Plug Valve Factory Test Outline". In view of this, we propose a spring-assisted sealing structure for a pressure-balanced plug valve. Utility Model Content

The contact surfaces are all welded with hard alloy to improve hardness and service life. The end face of the adjustment screw is an arc surface, and the surface is hardened by high-frequency quenching to reduce friction and facilitate adjustment. The flow channel area of ​​the plug 28 is about 60% of the area of ​​the pipes at both ends. Two vents are opened at the bottom of the plug 28, and threads are processed. At the same time, it has the function of hoisting the plug valve. The upper part of the plug 28 uses a reverse check valve assembly instead of steel balls and spring parts. Standard modular design The stainless steel sheet + carbon steel sheet isolates the pressure, prevents leakage, avoids rust, and improves the pressure boundary strength. An adjustment block 33 is added in the middle. The inclined surface design avoids excessive local shear force on the thin steel sheet when it is deformed. The valve body 1 adopts a structure combining an overall spherical shape and a bell shape, without reinforcing ribs, which is convenient for radiographic inspection.
