The first valve seat 4 is pushed by the medium, so that the floating sealing device fits on the gate plate to form the first seal; the medium pushes the gate plate to form an outlet forced seal to form a second seal; the double seal makes the gate valve seal more reliable; the end of the first valve seat 4 that contacts the valve body 1 is provided with a floating sealing device 5 which can also prevent the middle cavity from pressurizing. When the middle cavity pressure rises abnormally and the middle cavity pressure is greater than the pipeline pressure, the middle cavity pressure can push the inlet floating valve seat back, so that the pressure can be released.
[0019] This embodiment is preferably used for a wedge-type gate valve.
[0020] Among gate valves, wedge-type gate valves have the best sealing performance, because the valve plate 3 and valve seat of the opening and closing parts are both wedge-shaped. Under the thrust of the valve stem 8, the pressing force between the two is proportional to the thrust of the valve stem 8. Therefore, the specific pressure at the sealing surface of the valve plate 3 and the valve seat is very large, which is conducive to sealing. Wedge-type gate valves are commonly used, especially for high-pressure valves. To ensure sealing, the angle between the valve seats must be completely consistent with the angle between the gate plates. Otherwise, the sealing surface of the valve plate 3 and the valve seat is not completely in contact, which will cause leakage. Even if the sealing surface of a new valve is in contact, the angle changes after use and wear, which often causes leakage. Moreover, traditionally, the valve seat is embedded in the valve body 1 or welded to the valve body 1 to form a fixed sealing structure, which makes it difficult to ensure that the angle between the valve seats is completely consistent with the angle between the gate plates. In addition, the existing wedge-type gate valves are The pressure in the valve cavity is high, and maintenance is required frequently to prevent damage to components. Therefore, this embodiment uses the medium pressure to push the first valve seat 4, so that the first valve seat 4 provided with a floating sealing device 5 can maintain a close seal with the gate at any time, and push the second valve seat to seal with the valve body 1 to form multiple seals. Even if there are gaps between the gland and the valve seat, and between the valve body 1 and the valve seat after wear, they can be adjusted, effectively avoiding leakage and preventing the pressure in the cavity from rising. When the pressure in the cavity rises abnormally and is greater than the pipeline pressure, the pressure in the cavity can push the first valve seat at the inlet to the back to release the pressure.
[0021] In practical applications, a hand wheel 7 is provided at the top of the valve stem 8, and the valve plate 3 is raised and lowered by a screw rod. The hand wheel 7 controls the raising and lowering of the valve plate 3.
[0022] In practical applications, flanges are provided on both sides of the valve body 1. The flanges can be installed quickly and accurately.
[0023] In practical applications, the inner sides of the first valve seat 4 and the second valve seat fit with the contact surface of the valve plate 3. This makes the valve seat fit with the valve plate 3, improves the sealing performance, and reduces the leakage rate.
[0024] In practical applications, the outer sides of the first valve seat 4 and the second valve seat fit the contact surface of the valve body 1, and the elastic component abuts against the contact surface of the first valve seat 4 and the valve body 1. This facilitates the second valve seat to form a sealing fit with the valve body 1, improves the sealing performance, and effectively reduces the leakage rate.
[0025] In this embodiment, the elastic component is a spring.
[0026] In practical applications, the upper end of the valve plate 3 is connected with a valve stem 8, and a packing layer 9 is provided between the valve stem 8 and the valve body 1. The packing layer 9 enhances the anti-leakage function.

[0030] In practical applications, the contact surface of the valve plate 3 with the valve seat is made of stainless steel and / or hard alloy.
[0031] In practical applications, a hand wheel 7 is provided at the top of the valve stem 8, and the valve plate 3 is raised and lowered by a screw rod. The hand wheel 7 controls the raising and lowering of the valve plate 3.
