In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "set / sleeved with", "socket connection", "connection", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0033] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a small-bore forged steel parallel gate valve, which includes a valve stem 3, a handwheel 9, a valve cover 17, a gate plate 13, a seat ring 14, and a valve body 20. Two seat rings 14 equipped with second O-rings 21 are arranged inside the valve body 20. A gate plate 13 positioned by the inner cavity of the valve body 20 is installed between the two seat rings 14, and a valve stem 3 is installed on the gate plate 13; the valve body 20 is fixedly installed with a valve cover 17 by tightening a stud 5 and a nut 6; on the upper part of the valve stem 3, a sleeve bracket 1, a valve stem nut 11, and a handwheel 9 are sequentially sleeved. Inside the sleeve bracket 1, a packing 16, a spacer ring 15, a third O-ring 22, and a gland 2 are provided to guide and seal it, and on the outside, the sleeve bracket 1 is fixedly assembled on the valve cover 17 by a small round nut 4; the handwheel 9 is connected and assembled with the sleeve bracket 1 through the valve stem nut 11, and a gland 10 is installed between the sleeve bracket 1 and the valve stem nut 11 for limiting, and an oil cup 12 is provided for lubrication; above the handwheel 9, an indicating cylinder 7 screwed with the valve stem nut 11 is installed, and the indicating cylinder 7 is reinforced with a screw 8 to prevent loosening.

[0034] Among them, the diameter of the valve on the valve body 20 is below DN50. Due to the small diameter of the valve port, the valve body 20 cannot use castings, so forgings need to be used. For this, the processing of the middle cavity, channel, and seat ring installation part of the valve body 20 does not require special equipment, and conventional lathes can be used for processing, which has obvious advantages for medium and large batch processing and production.

[0035] The sealing surfaces of the gate plate 13 and the seat ring 14 are treated by the surfacing hard alloy process or the tungsten carbide spraying process. Such a design can improve the wear resistance at this place and can improve the service life and sealing effect to a certain extent.

[0036] The structure of the seat ring 14 is simple and reasonable. It can achieve the initial sealing force and the downstream sealing function of the medium by means of the second O-ring 21, rather than relying on a disc spring or a small spring to provide the initial pre-tightening force like most of the existing flat gate valve structures.

[0037] The design of the size of the inner circle of the valve body 20, the length of the seat ring 14, the width and thickness of the gate plate 13 should ensure that the gate plate 13 and the seat ring 14 can be fully installed into the valve body 20 in sequence. On this premise, the gap between the gate plate 13 and the inner circle of the valve body 20 should be as small as possible. The purpose of such a design is to limit the displacement of the gate plate 13 in the front and back directions and ensure that the diversion hole of the gate plate 14 is aligned with the channel of the valve body 20. Since the valve body 20 is a forging and a structure similar to the casting boss cannot be machined, the existing design scheme is the optimal scheme for limiting the displacement of the gate plate 13 in the front and back directions. Therefore, the gap between the gate plate 13 and the inner circle of the valve body 20 needs to be as small as possible. After the gate plate 13 and the seat ring 14 are completely installed into the valve body 20, the gap between the seat ring 14 and the valve body 20 is very small, which can ensure that the second O-ring is not extruded and extend the service time. In the case of downstream sealing, the seals between the gate plate 13 and the seat ring 14 and between the seat ring 14 and the valve body 20 are all metal-to-metal hard seals, which have the fire prevention function.

[0038] There are two of the third O-rings 22, which are respectively arranged on the inner and outer surfaces of the spacer ring 15. Specifically, two slots are provided on the spacer ring 15 to arrange the two third O-rings 22. The two third O-rings 22, one inside and one outside, are installed in the middle position of the packing 16. This can further improve the sealing performance of the utility model and improve the safety to a certain extent.

[0039] The gate plate 13 is connected to the valve stem 3 through a T-shaped head, and through "pull-off calculation", it is ensured that when an abnormality occurs, the valve stem 3 breaks at the thread. When the gate plate 13 is closed, it is limited by contacting the bottom of the valve body 20; when the gate plate 13 is opened, it is limited by the inverted seal contact between the valve stem 3 and the valve cover 17. Such a design can ensure that the diversion hole of the gate plate 13 is concentric with the channel hole of the valve body 20.

[0040] Between the valve body 20 and the valve cover 17, a first O-ring 19 is mainly used for sealing. This can not only reduce the specification of the bolts used but also make the connecting flange more compact. In addition, a gasket 18 is added to the connection structure for auxiliary sealing. Such a design can also enhance the fire prevention function, greatly improving the practicality and fire prevention performance of the present utility model. It is worth mentioning that the packing 16 at the valve stem 3, which is made of graphite, also has a fire prevention function design. It is filled above and below the spacer ring 15. The inner and outer surfaces of the spacer ring 15 use a third O-ring to achieve double sealing, which can adjust the pressing force of the gland, achieve a good sealing effect, and obtain a small operating torque.

[0041] Among them, the sleeve bracket 1 and the valve cover 17 are in threaded connection. Such a design can not only press the gland 2 but also connect the valve cover 17 and the valve stem nut 11, making the overall structure more compact.

[0042] In addition, the sleeve bracket 1 is fastened by a small round nut 4, which is a standard part. It can prevent the sleeve bracket 1 from loosening during the valve opening and closing operation, improving safety. Similarly, the handwheel 9 is installed on the valve stem nut 11 by opening a waist-shaped hole, and an indicating cylinder 7 is installed above it to press and prevent it from coming out. These multiple reinforcement designs make the present utility model more stable, safe, and reasonable.

[0043] It can be further explained that the indicating cylinder 7 and the valve stem nut 11 are in threaded connection and are locked by a screw 8. The indicating cylinder 7 is also provided with an observation window. Users can directly observe the position of the valve stem 3 to judge the opening and closing state of the valve, ensuring the safety of the operation.

[0044] The present utility model is a structure of a small-bore forged steel parallel slide gate valve. Although the structure is simple, it is reasonable, compact, and low-cost, having an obvious cost advantage in mass production. There are also detailed designs for its use to ensure the stability, safety, sealing performance, and fire prevention function of the connection.

[0045] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variation thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising a......" does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.

[0046] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
