At present, the steam trap used in the main steam pipeline of the power plant generally adopts a high-temperature and high-pressure stop valve, whose structure includes a valve body, a valve seat, a valve core, a valve stem, and a valve cover. The valve core adopts a plunger structure to connect with the lower end of the valve stem. A guide cylinder with a pressure reducing hole is set between the valve seat and the valve cover to improve the stability of the valve core movement, reduce the medium pressure passing through the valve seat, and reduce the scouring of the valve seat sealing surface. However, the steam trap on the existing main steam pipeline mainly has the following problems: 1. The pressure difference and flow rate of the high-temperature condensate entering the valve seat after passing through the guide cylinder are very large, which will cause vaporization and flashing at the valve seat, causing damage to the valve seat sealing surface and affecting the service life of the product; 2. The guide cylinder is pressed and installed on the valve seat by the valve cover, and the sealing gasket between the valve cover and the valve body and the sealing gasket between the valve seat and the valve body are pressed by the valve cover at the same time to achieve sealing, which requires high precision of the part size. The part size error can easily cause the two gaskets to be compressed inconsistently and cause leakage. Utility Model Content
