Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of containment isolation valves, in particular to a containment isolation valve sealing structure. Background Art

[0002] Isolation valves belong to the switch type of valves, which are only in the open or closed state. Unlike switch valves, they basically have certain requirements for leakage levels, and relatively speaking, the safety requirements are higher than switch valves. Sealing is to prevent leakage, so the valve sealing principle is also studied from the perspective of preventing leakage. There are many types of valves, but the basic function is the same, that is, to connect or cut off the medium flow. Therefore, the valve sealing problem is very prominent.

[0003] The traditional containment isolation valve uses two sealing rings to clamp a non-metallic sealing ring, and uses the non-metallic sealing ring as the sealing surface. Its characteristic is that it utilizes the good elasticity of the non-metallic sealing ring to enhance the sealing effect. However, in order to ensure the absolute sealing between the layers of the sealing ring, adhesives are needed. However, the materials used in nuclear power valves have very high requirements and many restrictions, and have very strict requirements on the content of ions such as chlorine, fluorine, and sulfur. It is difficult for adhesives to meet the standards. Repeated switching of the isolation valve will cause wear of the sealing ring. After several times of wear, it is difficult to achieve a sealing effect, which will lead to material leakage and the need to frequently replace the sealing strips.

[0004] To this end, we propose a containment isolation valve sealing structure. Utility Model Content

The provision of the sealing strip groove is beneficial for storing the sealing strip.

[0012] According to the sealing structure of a containment isolation valve, the inner wall of the sealing strip groove is movably connected with a U-shaped sealing strip, the inner wall of the U-shaped sealing strip is provided with a spring groove, and the inner wall of the spring groove is elastically connected with a V-shaped spring. By providing a U-shaped sealing strip and a V-shaped spring, and using the V-shaped spring as an auxiliary component, effective sealing performance can be maintained under both static and dynamic conditions. In static conditions, the constant preload provided by the V-shaped spring ensures that the sealing ring and the sealed ring fit tightly to prevent medium leakage; in dynamic conditions, the buffering effect of the V-shaped spring can compensate for the wear of the U-shaped sealing strip caused by the rotation of the valve plate and the valve stem, thereby always maintaining the sealing effect of the U-shaped sealing strip, extending the service life of the U-shaped sealing strip and related components, and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
