Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of breathing valves, and in particular relates to an air membrane sealing structure of a low-temperature breathing valve. Background Art

[0002] The breathing valve is a key safety device widely used in storage tanks and pipeline systems. Its main function is to automatically open and close the valve when the pressure changes, ensure the pressure balance inside and outside the system, and prevent the container from being damaged due to excessive or low pressure. Common breathing valves usually adopt a valve disc plus diaphragm design, and the sealing film is pressed against the valve seat so that the sealing film is tightly attached to the valve disc to achieve sealing. However, this design in the prior art has some significant defects; first, if the fitting surface between the valve disc and the sealing film is not flat enough, it will lead to a loose seal, thereby increasing the risk of leakage of the breathing valve; secondly, in a low temperature environment, the fitting interface between the sealing film and the valve disc and the valve seat is very easy to freeze. The formation of ice will affect the flexibility of the sealing film and the movement of the valve disc, resulting in the breathing valve being unable to open or close normally; therefore, there are problems in the prior art such as leakage of the breathing valve due to the uneven fitting surface between the valve disc and the sealing film, and easy freezing of the sealing film in a low temperature environment. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a device that solves the problems in the prior art of breathing valve leakage due to uneven fitting surfaces between the valve disc and the sealing film and easy freezing of the sealing film in a low temperature environment.

[0004] The purpose of this disclosure can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A low-temperature breathing valve air film sealing structure includes a valve disc and a valve seat, wherein the valve seat is in the shape of a sleeve with openings at both ends, and further includes:

[0006] The screw is coaxially arranged with the valve disc and fixed at the lower end of the valve disc. The screw is provided with vent holes penetrating both ends. The peripheral wall of the screw near the end of the valve disc is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed notches, which are connected with the vent holes.

[0007] The sealing membrane is in the shape of a ring and is located below the valve disc. The inner ring edge of the sealing membrane is connected with a connecting component, which is threadedly connected to the screw. The inner ring edge of the sealing membrane is located below the notch groove. The outer diameter of the sealing membrane is larger than the inner diameter of the valve seat, and the upper end of the valve seat is against the lower end of the sealing membrane.

[0009] The principle and effect of the above technical solution are as follows:

[0010] When there is pressure in the breathing valve, the gas in the breathing valve passes through the vent holes and notch grooves on the screw and finally enters the cavity between the sealing membrane and the valve disc. Since the outer diameter of the sealing membrane is larger than the inner diameter of the valve seat, after the gas enters the cavity between the sealing membrane and the valve disc, the sealing membrane will be blown up to form a smooth surface, thereby improving the sealing performance between the valve disc and the sealing membrane.

[0011] When the temperature is low, if the sealing membrane freezes, when the valve disc is opened, the sealing membrane will be deformed due to the loss of pressure in the cavity between the sealing membrane and the valve disc, and the ice crystals attached to the sealing membrane will automatically fall off, effectively solving the leakage problem caused by the uneven sealing membrane of the breathing valve in the prior art and the problem of easy freezing in low temperature environment, ensuring the service life and reliability of the breathing valve and improving the safety and stability of equipment operation.

[0012] The connection assembly includes a screw sleeve which is threadedly sleeved on a screw rod, a peripheral wall of the screw sleeve is provided with spirally distributed thread teeth, the lower end of the screw sleeve is located below the sealing film, a convex ring is provided on the peripheral wall of the lower end of the screw sleeve, a nut is sleeved on the peripheral wall of the upper end of the screw sleeve, and the nut is threadedly connected to the screw sleeve through the thread teeth;

[0013] The upper end of the convex ring of the screw sleeve is fixedly connected with a first gasket placed coaxially, and the lower end of the nut is fixedly sleeved with a second gasket placed coaxially;

[0014] The outer edge of the lower end of the valve disc is provided with a placement groove for coaxial placement, and the clamping ring is located below the placement groove;

[0015] The outer diameter of the clamping ring is larger than the outer diameter of the valve disc;

[0016] A plurality of ear plates are fixed to the peripheral wall of the valve disc, and the plurality of ear plates are evenly distributed in a ring shape around the central axis of the valve disc;

[0017] The ear plates are each provided with a first screw hole coaxially arranged with the screw rod, and the clamping ring is provided with a plurality of second screw holes evenly distributed in an annular shape, and the number of the second screw holes is equal to that of the first screw holes and corresponds one to one;

[0018] The first screw holes of the ear plates are sleeved with threaded bolts, and the lower ends of the bolts extend into the second screw holes and are threadedly connected therewith.

[0019] The nouns, conjunctions or adjectives involved in the above technical solution are explained as follows:

[0020] Connection: refers to the process of connecting two separate profiles or parts into a complex part or component using fasteners such as screws, bolts and rivets.

[0021] Threaded connection: refers to the fastening of two or more parts together through the interaction of threads.

[0022] Beneficial effects of the present disclosure:

[0023] 1. When there is pressure in the breathing valve, the gas in the breathing valve passes through the vent holes and the notch grooves into the space between the sealing film and the valve disc, and the sealing film will be blown up to form a smooth surface, thereby improving the sealing between the valve disc and the sealing film; and in low temperature conditions, if the sealing film freezes, when the valve disc is opened, the sealing film will be deformed due to the loss of pressure in the cavity between the sealing film and the valve disc, and the ice crystals attached to the sealing film will automatically fall off, effectively solving the leakage caused by the uneven sealing film of the breathing valve in the prior art, and the problem that the sealing film is easy to freeze in a low temperature environment, ensuring the service life and reliability of the breathing valve, and improving the safety and stability of the equipment operation;

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0032] Combined with this Figures 1 to 5To describe an embodiment of the low-temperature breathing valve air film sealing structure. Specifically, the low-temperature breathing valve air film sealing structure is constructed as a split structure, which has four components, namely, a valve disc 100, a screw 300, a sealing film 400 and a clamping ring 500. When there is pressure in the breathing valve, the gas in the breathing valve passes through the vent hole 301 and the notch groove 302 on the screw 300, and finally enters the cavity between the sealing film 400 and the valve disc 100. Since the outer diameter of the sealing film 400 is larger than the inner diameter of the valve seat 200, after the gas enters the cavity between the sealing film 400 and the valve disc 100, the sealing film 400 will be blown up to form a smooth surface, thereby improving the sealing between the valve disc 100 and the sealing film 400.

[0033] Under low temperature conditions, if the sealing film 400 is frozen, when the valve disc 100 is opened, the sealing film 400 will be deformed due to the loss of pressure in the cavity between the sealing film 400 and the valve disc 100, and the ice crystals attached to the sealing film 400 will automatically fall off, and the sealing performance will not be affected after the valve disc 100 returns to its seat.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A low-temperature breathing valve air film sealing structure includes a valve disc 100 and a valve seat 200, wherein the valve seat 200 is in the shape of a sleeve with openings at both ends, and further includes:

[0035] The screw 300 is coaxially arranged with the valve disc 100 and fixed to the lower end of the valve disc 100. The screw 300 is provided with vent holes 301 penetrating both ends. The peripheral wall of the screw 300 near the end of the valve disc 100 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed notch grooves 302. The notch grooves 302 are in continuous connection with the vent holes 301.

[0036] The sealing film 400 is annular and is located below the valve disc 100. The inner ring edge of the sealing film 400 is connected with a connecting component, which is threadedly connected to the screw 300. The inner ring edge of the sealing film 400 is located below the notch groove 302. The outer diameter of the sealing film 400 is larger than the inner diameter of the valve seat 200. The upper end of the valve seat 200 abuts against the lower end of the sealing film 400.

[0037] A clamping ring 500, the clamping ring 500 and the valve disc 100 are placed coaxially, the outer ring edge of the sealing film 400 is located between the upper end surface of the clamping ring 500 and the lower end surface of the valve disc 100, and the clamping ring 500 and the valve disc 100 are detachably connected;

[0038] The screw 300 is usually made of high-strength material such as stainless steel or alloy steel to ensure its durability under high load and corrosive environment; the surface may be subjected to heat treatment and anti-corrosion treatment, such as galvanizing or oxidation treatment, to enhance its wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0039] The sealing film 400 is usually made of a high-performance elastic material, such as rubber or fluororubber, and has excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. The sealing film 400 is usually made by injection molding or calendering process and is surface treated to improve wear resistance.

[0040] The clamping ring 500 is usually a circular ring made of metal material, which is used to fix the outer ring edge of the sealing membrane 400 on the valve disc 100. It has a design that is easy to install and disassemble, and can usually be connected to the valve disc 100 by bolt connection or clamping device; the clamping ring 500 needs to have high processing accuracy and appropriate surface treatment to ensure matching with the valve disc 100 and provide stable sealing performance; in addition, stress distribution and thermal expansion coefficient should be considered in the design to avoid problems caused by stress concentration and inconsistent thermal expansion.

[0041] During operation, the valve disc 100 is brought close to the valve seat 200, so that the screw rod 300 extends into the valve seat 200, and the upper end of the valve seat 200 abuts against the lower end of the sealing film 400, so that the part of the sealing film 400 abutted by the peripheral wall of the upper end of the valve seat 200 is attached to the valve disc 100;

[0042] When there is pressure in the breathing valve, the gas in the breathing valve passes through the vent hole 301 and the notch groove 302 on the screw 300, and finally enters the cavity between the sealing film 400 and the valve disc 100. Since the outer diameter of the sealing film 400 is larger than the inner diameter of the valve seat 200, after the gas enters the cavity between the sealing film 400 and the valve disc 100, the sealing film 400 will be blown up to form a smooth surface, thereby improving the sealing between the valve disc 100 and the sealing film 400.

[0043] When the temperature is low, if the sealing film 400 is frozen, when the valve disc 100 is opened, the sealing film 400 will be deformed due to the loss of pressure in the cavity between the sealing film 400 and the valve disc 100, and the ice crystals attached to the sealing film 400 will automatically fall off, effectively solving the leakage caused by the unevenness of the sealing film 400 of the breathing valve in the prior art and the problem that the sealing film 400 is easy to freeze in a low temperature environment, ensuring the service life and reliability of the breathing valve and improving the safety and stability of the equipment operation.

[0045] Preferably, the screw sleeve 601 can be rotated to control the adjustment screw sleeve 601 to be close to or away from the valve disc 100, so as to adjust the gap between the middle of the sealing membrane 400 and the valve disc 100, so as to form a cavity between the sealing membrane 400 and the valve disc 100.

[0046] In order to improve the stability of the connection to the inner ring edge of the sealing plate, the upper end of the convex ring of the screw sleeve 601 is fixedly connected with a first gasket 603 placed coaxially, and the lower end of the nut 602 is fixedly sleeved with a second gasket 604 placed coaxially; the stability of the connection is improved by the coordinated arrangement of the first gasket 603 and the second gasket 604.

[0051] The first screw holes of the ear plates 700 are sleeved with threaded bolts 701, and the lower ends of the bolts 701 extend into the second screw holes and are threadedly connected thereto;

[0052] When the clamping ring 500 is pressed against the lower end face of the outer ring edge of the sealing membrane 400, the outer ring edge of the sealing membrane 400 is fixed between the clamping ring 500 and the valve disc 100, and then the bolt 701 is inserted from the upper end of the first screw hole of the ear plate 700, and the bolt 701 is rotated to make the bolt 701 pass through the first screw hole and the second screw hole in turn. Through the connection of the bolt 701, a stable connection between the valve disc 100 and the clamping ring 500 is achieved, and the maintenance and replacement of the sealing membrane 400 is also facilitated.
