Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] Combine the following Figures 1 to 3 , describing an embodiment of the utility model.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the utility model, on one hand, a stop valve is provided, including a valve body 1, a valve stem 2, a support ring 3, a packing group 4, a pressing sleeve 5 and a pressing plate 6.

[0036] The top of the valve body 1 has a heightened portion 101; the top of the heightened portion 101 is provided with a connecting boss portion 1011; the inner wall of the heightened portion 101 is provided with a first limiting step; one side of the valve stem 2 is arranged in the valve body 1; the support ring 3 is sleeved outside the valve stem 2, and the bottom of the support ring 3 abuts against the first limiting step; the packing group 4 is sleeved outside the valve stem 2 and filled in the gap surrounded by the valve stem 2 and the inner wall of the heightened portion 101; the bottom of the packing group 4 is supported on the support ring 3; the pressing sleeve 5 It is sleeved outside the valve stem 2; the pressing sleeve 5 includes a crimping section and a guide section, the outer diameter of the guide section is smaller than the outer diameter of the crimping section, and a second limiting step is formed at the junction of the crimping section and the guide section, the crimping section extends into the valve body 1 and is crimped on the packing group 4; the pressing plate 6 is sleeved outside the guide section, and at least two first mounting holes are provided on the pressing plate 6, and the first fastener 7 is suitable for passing through the first mounting hole to connect the pressing plate 6 to the connecting boss portion 1011; the pressing plate 6 applies pressure toward the packing group 4 toward the crimping section.

[0037] In the stop valve of this structure, the support ring 3 abuts against the first limiting step, the bottom of the packing group 4 is supported on the support ring 3, the crimping section is crimped on the upper part of the packing group 4, and the pressure plate 6 is sleeved outside the guide section. During installation, the fastener passes through the first mounting hole to lock the pressure plate 6 to the connecting boss portion 1011. During the locking process, the pressure plate 6 presses the pressing sleeve 5 downward, and the pressing sleeve 5 presses the packing group 4 downward. During the locking process, the guide section guides the pressure plate 6 to descend smoothly and horizontally. The guide section is supported on the inner side of the pressure plate 6 to prevent the pressure plate 6 from tilting, so as to avoid the pressure plate 6 tilting toward the side where the first fastener 7 is located when one or some of the first fasteners 7 are locked first, thereby causing uneven pressure. The pressure plate 6 is ensured to descend smoothly in a horizontal posture, thereby ensuring that the pressing sleeve 5 evenly presses the packing group 4 to evenly compress the packing group 4, which can effectively ensure the sealing performance.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the stop valve further includes an elastic element 8, which is sleeved outside the guide section, and the upper and lower ends of the elastic element 8 respectively abut the bottom surface of the pressure plate 6 and the second limit step. The pressure plate 6 is sleeved outside the guide section. In the initial state, the top surface of the guide section is retracted inside the top surface of the pressure plate 6. During the process of locking the first fastener 7, the pressure plate 6 presses the elastic element 8 downward, the elastic element 8 is compressed, the pressure plate 6 moves downward, and the top surface of the guide section gradually becomes flush with the top surface of the pressure plate 6. The compression amount of the elastic element 8 can be controlled by observing the gap between the top surface of the guide section and the top surface of the pressure plate 6. The elastic element 8 cooperates with the pressure plate 6, the compression sleeve 5 and the first fastener 7 to realize the floating pre-tightening of the packing group 4, which can cope with the influence of the fluctuation of the medium temperature and pressure of the valve operation on the valve seal, and avoid valve leakage to the greatest extent.

[0039] Optionally, in some embodiments, the elastic element 8 includes a butterfly spring, the protruding surface of the butterfly spring abuts against the second limiting step, and the butterfly spring is gradually flattened during the process of locking the first fastener 7. The butterfly spring can effectively ensure the floating sealing effect.

[0040] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first fastener 7 includes a stud, the stud is connected to the connecting boss portion 1011 and the pressure plate 6, and a nut is locked outside the stud.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the stop valve further includes a support column 9, an upper flange 10 and a drive assembly, the upper flange 10 is arranged on the upper part of the pressure plate 6, the support column 9 is connected to the upper flange 10 and the connecting boss portion 1011; the drive assembly is rotatably arranged on the upper flange 10, and the drive assembly is connected to the valve stem 2. The support column 9 is connected to the upper flange 10 and the connecting boss portion 1011, and the drive assembly is arranged on the upper flange 10. When the valve needs to be opened or closed, the drive assembly is operated to drive the drive assembly and the valve stem 2 to rise or move downward.

[0042] Optionally, the upper and lower ends of the support column 9 are respectively threadedly connected to the upper flange 10 and the connecting boss portion 1011 , and a nut is locked on the upper part of the support column 9 .

[0043] In the related art, the support column 9 of some stop valves directly serves as the locking member of the pressure plate 6. The support column 9 is integrally arranged with the first fastener 7, and the packing group 4 is locked by the support column 9. In this structure, when splashes appear on the side of the valve and damage the support column 9, the support cannot effectively pre-tighten the packing group 4, thereby affecting the sealing performance of the packing group 4. In the stop valve of this structure, the first fastener 7 and the support column 9 are separately arranged. When the support column 9 is damaged, the first fastener 7 can still effectively pre-tighten the packing group 4, thereby effectively ensuring the sealing performance of the valve.

[0044] Optionally, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the cross section of the connecting boss portion 1011 is rhombus-shaped, two of the relative corners of the connecting boss portion 1011 are connected to the first fasteners 7, and the other two relative corners of the connecting boss portion 1011 are connected to the support column 9. The stop valve of this structure is a stop valve without a valve cover, and a large-sized stud can be used with a nut to increase the pre-tightening force. Two first fasteners 7 can be set to effectively lock the pressure plate 6 on the connecting boss portion 1011, and the support column 9 can be matched with a large-sized nut to increase the pre-tightening force. Two support columns 9 can effectively lock the upper flange 10 on the connecting boss. Compared with the stop valve with a circular or square valve cover, the number of fasteners on the connecting boss portion 1011 can be effectively reduced, and the cross section of the connecting boss portion 1011 is set to a rhombus, which can effectively reduce the external dimensions and weight of the valve. At the same time, the valve as a whole adopts a detachable structure, which is convenient for rapid disassembly and maintenance of the valve.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the stop valve also includes an anti-rotation assembly, which is fixedly connected to the valve stem 2. The end of the anti-rotation assembly away from the valve stem 2 is slidably connected to the support column 9. The anti-rotation assembly limits the rotation of the valve stem 2 to drive the valve stem 2 to rise and fall when the driving assembly rotates.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, the anti-rotation assembly includes two positioning blocks 1201, the two positioning blocks 1201 are arranged opposite to each other and fixedly sleeved outside the valve stem 2, and the ends of the two positioning blocks 1201 away from the valve stem 2 form an open structure, and the open structure is slidably sleeved outside the support column 9. The anti-rotation assembly includes two positioning blocks 1201, the two positioning blocks 1201 are fixed on the valve stem 2 after docking, and the open structure is sleeved outside the support column 9.

[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, a circular groove is provided in the middle of the positioning block 1201, and a flat portion is provided on the groove wall of the circular groove. The two positioning blocks 1201 are butted, and the flat portion cooperates with the flat surface on the valve stem 2 to limit the rotation of the valve stem 2. The two positioning blocks 1201 are fixedly connected by bolts, and the two positioning blocks 1201 are butted to form a semicircular groove-shaped opening structure at both ends.

[0048] Optionally, in some embodiments, a first indicator line and a second indicator line are spaced apart in the height direction of the support column 9 , and the first indicator line and the second indicator line are used to indicate the open and closed positions of the valve, respectively.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the valve stem 2 located in the valve body 1 is provided with a downwardly inclined first chamfer 201, and the bottom of the support ring 3 is provided with a second chamfer 301. When the valve is open, the first chamfer 201 is attached to the second chamfer 301 to prevent the valve stem 2 from moving upward under the medium pressure, thereby realizing the valve's anti-blowout function.

[0050] The stop valve also includes a valve flap 15, which is provided with a T-slot. The head of the valve stem 2 is provided with a T-head. The valve flap 15 is connected to the valve stem 2 through the T-slot and the T-head. A flat mating portion is provided between the T-slot and the T-head, which can effectively prevent the valve flap 15 from rotating relative to the valve stem 2.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a connecting nut 1101 and a handwheel 1102, the connecting nut 1101 is rotatably connected to the upper flange 10, the connecting nut 1101 is fixedly connected to the handwheel 1102, the connecting nut 1101 is fixedly connected to the valve stem 2, the handwheel 1102 is arranged at the upper part of the upper flange 10, and the upper part of the upper flange 10 is provided with a friction reducing member 13. When closing the valve, the handwheel 1102 is rotated clockwise, the handwheel 1102 descends and fits on the friction reducing member 13, and the handwheel 1102 is continuously rotated to drive the valve stem 2 and the valve disc 15 to continue to descend, so that the valve disc 15 is pressed against the valve seat. When opening the valve, the handwheel 1102 is rotated counterclockwise, and the handwheel 1102 gradually disengages from the friction reducing member 13. In the process of closing and opening the valve, the handwheel 1102 rotates relative to the friction reducing member 13, which can effectively reduce the friction torque when the handwheel 1102 rotates, so as to reduce the operating force of the handwheel 1102 when opening and closing the valve.

[0052] Optionally, the friction reducing member 13 comprises a copper washer.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the stop valve further includes a bearing 14, which is sleeved outside the connecting nut 1101.
