[0031] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 1-2, a preferred embodiment of the utility model provides an oilfield fracturing safety valve, comprising a spring guide rod 4, a spring push plate 5, a disc spring group 6, a spring seat 7, a push rod 8, a steel ball 10, a valve seat 11, a valve body 13, and a valve sleeve 17; the valve body 13 is provided with a first inner through hole 21, a second inner through hole 22, a third inner through hole 23, a first channel 24 and a second channel 25, the diameters of which are successively increased and connected in sequence, the first channel 24 and the second channel 25 are perpendicular to each other, the first inner through hole 21 is connected to the first channel 24, and the second inner through hole 22 is connected to the second channel 25;

[0033] The spring seat 7 has an internal space therein. The front end of the spring seat 7 is in the shape of a through hole and is screwed into the third internal through hole 23 and the second internal through hole 22 in sequence. The first passage 24 of the valve body 13 is connected to the internal space of the spring seat 7. The valve sleeve 17 is fixedly sleeved on the front end of the spring seat 7 extending into the valve body 13. The valve seat 11 is fixed in the first internal through hole 21.

[0034] The spring guide rod 4 and the push rod 8 are coaxially arranged in the spring seat 7. The spring guide rod 4 is arranged in the spring seat 7 through an external spring push plate 5. One end of the push rod 8 faces the spring guide rod 4, and the other end abuts against the steel ball 10. The steel ball 10 abuts against the first channel and can block the first channel. There is a gap between the spring seat 7 and the push rod 8, and a bushing 9 is provided at one end of the second channel 25 connected to the second inner through hole 22.

[0035] A disc spring assembly 6, which is sleeved on the spring guide rod 4, and one end of the disc spring assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the spring guide rod 4, and the other end abuts against the spring push plate 5;

[0036] The ends of the spring guide rod 4 and the push rod 8 that are close to each other are respectively sunken inward to form a limiting groove and protruded to form a limiting protrusion. The limiting protrusion is adapted to the limiting groove, and the connection is more stable. There is a gap between the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove.

[0037] In the above technical solution, the high-pressure fluid flows into the first channel 24 of the valve body 13, and the high-pressure fluid impacts the steel ball 10.

[0038] Then the disc spring group 6 is squeezed and pushed to the left for compression. At this time, the steel ball 10 and the first channel 24 will be at a certain distance to form a flow channel for the high-pressure liquid to flow through and out through the second channel 25. The impact of the high-pressure fluid must be greater than the elastic force of the spring itself, and the steel ball will be squeezed and flushed open, so that the fluid will also flow out through the second channel 25. Otherwise, it cannot be flushed open. The steel ball 10 will block the first channel, and the entire valve will thus play a sealing role.

[0039] In the above technical solution, there is a gap between the push rod 8 and the spring seat 7, and there is a gap between the push rod 8 and the spring guide rod 4, so the push rod 8 has a radial floating amount. When the push rod 8 is in a floating state and is subjected to axial force, the push rod presses the steel ball, and the steel ball contacts the valve seat. Under the extrusion effect, the push rod is aligned, so that the push rod, ball, and valve seat are coaxial, realizing the automatic alignment function of the steel ball, and finally the steel ball and the valve seat sealing surface can effectively contact to achieve reliable sealing.

[0040] Moreover, the split push rod structure is adopted, and the installation of the disc spring group 6 is more convenient. The disc spring group 6 can be directly sleeved on the spring guide rod 4; a spring push plate 5 is provided at the end of the disc spring group 6, which is sleeved on the spring guide rod 4 and is used to resist the disc spring group 6.

[0041] In another technical solution, the oilfield fracturing safety valve further includes an adjusting bolt 2 , which is hollow inside and has one end open. The open end of the adjusting bolt 2 is sleeved on the spring guide rod 4 .

[0042] The front end of the push rod 8 is sleeved with a valve sleeve 17 .

[0043] In another technical solution, the oilfield fracturing safety valve further comprises a pressure regulating protective cover 1, which is sleeved on the

[0044] The adjusting bolt 2 is outside, and the pressure regulating cover 1 is connected to the spring seat 7 through the locking nut 3.

[0045] Another technical solution further includes a bushing 9 which is sleeved on the outside of the steel ball 10 , and the bushing 9 covers the contact portion between the steel ball 10 and the push rod 8 .

[0046] When the fluid pressure is too high, the disc spring assembly 6 is pushed to the left at the moment, and the small gap and the high-pressure fluid collide at the moment, which may cause the push rod 8 to be violently opened and damaged. Therefore, a bushing 9 is arranged between the steel ball 10 and the push rod 8 to play a certain blocking and buffering role.

[0047] Another technical solution further includes a valve seat sealing ring 12, which is located on the vertical end surface of the first inner through hole 21.

[0048] And abut against the valve seat 11.

[0049] In the above technical solution, the vertical end surface of the first inner through hole 21 is sunken to form an annular sealing groove, and the valve seat seal

[0050] The ring 12 is annular and embedded in the annular sealing groove, and the surface of the valve seat sealing ring 12 protrudes from the top of the sealing groove, and the valve seat sealing ring 12 is made of rubber material. In this way, the valve seat sealing ring 12 can play a certain sealing role on the water flow, preventing the water flow from flowing out from between the valve seat 11 and the vertical end face of the first inner through hole 21, because the valve seat 11 and the first inner through hole 21 are both made of hard steel, and absolute sealing cannot be achieved between the two.

[0051] Another technical solution further includes a retaining ring 14, a wing nut 15 and a clamping ring 16. The wing nut 15 is sleeved on the outside of the tail end of the valve body 13 away from the spring guide rod 4 through the retaining ring 14, and the clamping ring 16 is surrounded between the wing nut 15 and the retaining ring 14. The retaining ring 14, the wing nut 15, the clamping ring 16 and the valve body 13 together form a whole.

[0052] In another technical solution, the push rod 8 is partially inserted into the spring seat 7, and a push rod sealing ring 19 is circumferentially provided at the contact portion between the push rod 8 and the spring seat 7 to further seal the gap between the push rod 8 and the spring seat 7.

[0053] In another technical solution, a locking screw 20 is provided at the threaded connection between the spring seat 7 and the valve body 13 to fix the spring seat 7 and the valve body 13 firmly.

[0054] In another technical solution, the outer side surface of one end of the spring seat 7 extending into the valve body 13 and the valve body 13

[0055] A spring seat sealing ring 18 is arranged between the inner walls to provide a further sealing effect.

[0056] In another technical solution, the spring guide rod 4 is hollow inside and adopts a light-weight hollow structure with small take-off inertia.

[0057] More precise take-off.

[0058] In another technical solution, the side of the valve seat 11 close to the steel ball is inwardly recessed to form a valve seat sealing surface.

[0059] The valve seat sealing surface is stepped, including a first sealing surface 11-1 and a second sealing surface 11-2 connected to each other.

[0060] The first sealing surface and the second sealing surface are against each other, so that the two sealing surfaces can be used to achieve secondary sealing on the steel ball, and the sealing effect is better.

[0061] In another technical solution, the side of the push rod 8 that contacts the steel ball is sunken to form an arc groove, and the steel ball 10 is stuck in the arc groove, but the two are not completely fitted, and a gap is formed between the arc groove and the steel ball 10.

[0062] Although the implementation scheme of the utility model has been disclosed as above, it is not limited to the applications listed in the specification and implementation modes. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the utility model. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
