[0002] At present, the flat gate valve is widely used in the production process pipeline of oil fields, which is used for cutting off and regulating the fluid pipeline. It can control the flow of fluid through handwheel, electric, pneumatic and other means, so as to realize the control and regulation of the pipeline. After the flat gate valve is installed and used for a period of time, due to the aging and wear of the sealing ring, the conveying medium will leak from the sealing ring. When the leakage is serious, the conveying medium will also leak from the center screw of the handwheel and the top of the electric actuator, causing the actuator to short-circuit and burn out, so that the gate valve cannot be used normally. After the seal of some flat gate valves is lost, the residual pressure cannot be completely released in the pipeline, the seal cannot be replaced, and the leakage problem cannot be solved in time.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] The utility model provides a two-stage sealing structure of a flat gate valve, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a valve body 2, a valve plate 1, a valve stem 3 and a primary sealing device 8, the valve plate 1 is arranged in the valve body 2, the valve stem 3 is connected to the top of the valve plate 1, the valve body 2 is connected to a sealing seat 7, the primary sealing device 8 is arranged in the sealing seat 7, a secondary sealing device 9 is also arranged in the sealing seat 7, the secondary sealing device 9 is arranged above the primary sealing device 8, and the valve stem 3 is connected to an early warning mechanism after passing through the sealing seat 7.

[0024] The utility model is modified to install a secondary sealing device 9 on the upper part of the original flat gate valve and the sealing device, which strengthens the sealing effect and prolongs the sealing leakage cycle of the gate valve. At the same time, an early warning mechanism is added, which will give a timely warning when the seal is lost to prevent other losses.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Based on Example 1, this embodiment provides a two-stage sealing structure of a flat gate valve, such as Figure 2 As shown, the secondary sealing device 9 is annular, a sealing filler groove 11 is machined in the middle of the secondary sealing device 9, a filler pressing cone surface 12 is machined on the inner surface of the lower ring, and O-rings are arranged in the sealing filler groove 11 and the filler pressing cone surface 12. Figure 3 shown.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] When the flowing medium passes through the valve plate 1, the medium moves upward along the valve stem 3. When the primary sealing device 8 leaks due to wear and aging, the medium will leak upward along the valve stem 3. Since there is an O-ring in the sealing stuffing groove 11 of the secondary sealing device 9, the medium will be prevented from further leaking upward. When the O-ring in the sealing stuffing groove 11 of the secondary sealing device 9 is also worn and aged, the medium will leak upward through the valve stem threaded part 4 and enter the early warning mechanism, reminding employees that the sealing device has been worn and leaked and needs to be replaced in time.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] Based on Example 1, this embodiment provides a secondary sealing structure of a flat gate valve, wherein a support tube 6 is provided above the sealing seat 7, a screw rod is connected to the top of the valve stem 3, the support tube 6 is sleeved on the screw rod and the two are threadedly connected, and a hand wheel 5 is connected to the upper part of the screw rod.

[0031] When the primary sealing device 8 leaks due to wear and aging, the medium will leak upward along the valve stem 3. Since there is an O-ring in the sealing stuffing groove 11 of the secondary sealing device 9, the medium will be prevented from further leaking upward. When the O-ring in the sealing stuffing groove 11 of the secondary sealing device 9 is also worn and aged, the medium will leak upward through the valve stem threaded part 4 into the support tube 6. At this time, the leaked medium will flow out from the early warning mechanism, reminding employees that the sealing device has been worn and leaked and needs to be replaced in time.

[0032] When the flowing medium in the pipeline cannot be completely discharged, the primary sealing device 8 cannot be replaced. At this time, the low pressure of the remaining flowing medium can be used to take out the secondary sealing device 9 for replacement. When replacing, first loosen the connecting bolts between the sealing seat and the support cylinder, then turn the hand wheel 5, the support cylinder 6 moves up along the screw rod and separates from the sealing seat 7, the second sealing device is exposed, and then the second sealing device is taken out, the O-ring in the sealing stuffing groove 11 is replaced, and then it is installed back on the sealing seat 7, and the same sealing effect can be achieved.

[0033] Example 4

[0034] On the basis of Example 1, this embodiment provides a two-stage sealing structure of a flat gate valve, wherein the warning mechanism is an oil leakage warning channel 10, and the oil leakage warning channel 10 is connected to the support cylinder 6;

[0035] The oil leakage warning channel 10 is a copper tube with an inner diameter of 4-5 mm.

[0036] When an electric actuator is installed on the top of the screw rod, the medium leaking from the valve stem threaded part 4 will flow out from the early warning channel, preventing the leaking medium from continuing to leak upward along the valve stem threaded part 4 into the electric actuator due to the support tube 6 being full, causing a short circuit and burning accident.

[0037] Example 5

[0038] On the basis of Example 1, this embodiment provides a two-level sealing structure of a flat gate valve, wherein the two-level sealing device 9 is made of soft metal, and the soft metal is brass or copper.

[0039] In summary, the two-stage sealing structure of the flat gate valve provided by the utility model uses a two-stage sealing device to extend the sealing leakage cycle of the gate valve; it solves the problem that the original seal of the gate valve cannot be replaced when the residual pressure cannot be completely released, and the newly designed replaceable secondary sealing device 9 solves the leakage problem. The oil leakage warning channel 10 can automatically discharge the leaked medium to prevent the leaked medium from leaking into the electric actuator along the screw rod, causing the actuator to short-circuit and burn out.

[0040] The above examples are merely illustrative of the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. All designs that are identical or similar to the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
