AI Technical Summary
In the bypass water supply state, when the high-pressure water flows through the upper valve seat, the fluid vortex impacts the bolt, causing the bolt to loosen or fall off, the product has poor reliability and short service life.
The upper valve seat structure consisting of bolts, compression rings and four open rings is adopted. The radial inner steps and bolts are arranged in the inner holes of the four open rings to form a limiting mechanism. The outer circumference of the hexagonal screw head of the bolt is in contact with the inner circular wall below the radial inner step, forming a radial limit of the bolt and the four open rings to prevent the bolt from loosening or falling out.
It realizes the installation of the upper valve seat firmly and is not susceptible to media erosion and loosening or falling off, improving the reliability and service life of the product.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of valves, and particularly relates to a high-pressure heater three-way valve. The utility model is applicable to the bypass valve of a high-pressure heater of a large-scale thermal power engine set. Background Art
[0002] The high-pressure heater inlet three-way valve is installed at the inlet of the high-pressure heater of the thermal power engine set and is used to feed water to the high-pressure boiler through the bypass when the high-pressure heater fails, so as to protect the safe water supply of the high-pressure boiler. The structure of the existing high-pressure heater inlet three-way valve generally includes a valve body, a valve flap, a valve stem, a valve cover, and an actuator. The valve body has an inlet, an outlet, and a bypass port. A lower valve seat and an upper valve seat are respectively arranged at the inlet, the outlet, and the bypass port. The valve flap is installed between the lower valve seat and the upper valve seat through the valve stem, and sealing surfaces that cooperate with the upper valve seat and the lower valve seat are respectively arranged on its upper and lower planes. In order to accurately set the axial distance between the upper valve seat and the lower valve seat, the upper valve seat of the existing product is generally installed in the valve cavity between the inlet and the bypass port by bolts and four split rings. For example, the built-in high-pressure piston-driven high-pressure heater three-way valve with the publication number CN203770716U is composed of a valve body, a valve flap, an upper valve seat, a valve cover, a high-pressure piston, a spring energy storage ring, a throttle sleeve, a travel switch, etc. The upper valve seat adopts a pressure self-tightening seal structure and is composed of a four-piece ring, a self-sealing ring, a pressure ring, a pressing plate, and a hexagon head bolt. When the high-pressure heater fails, the valve is switched from the main path to the bypass to open, the high-pressure heater is cracked, and the feed water enters the boiler through the bypass. Its disadvantages are as follows: during use, when the high-pressure water flow in the bypass water supply state passes through the upper valve seat, the fluid vortex impacts the bolts, which will cause the bolts to loosen or even fall off, and the reliability of the product in use is very poor, and the service life is short. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] Aiming at the disadvantages of the existing technology, the utility model provides an inlet high-pressure heater three-way valve with a firmly installed upper valve seat, which is not easily loosened or fallen off by the erosion of the medium, and has good reliability and long service life in use.
[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0005] An inlet high-pressure heater three-way valve includes a valve body, a valve flap, a valve stem, a valve cover, and an actuator. The valve body has an inlet passage, an outlet passage, and a bypass passage. A lower valve seat and an upper valve seat are respectively arranged between the inlet passage and the outlet passage and the bypass passage. The valve flap is installed between the lower valve seat and the upper valve seat through the valve stem, and sealing surfaces that cooperate with the upper valve seat and the lower valve seat are respectively provided on its upper and lower planes. The upper valve seat is installed in the valve cavity between the inlet passage and the bypass passage by bolts, a pressing ring, and a four-way split ring. A sealing ring is tightly installed between the outer circular surface of the upper part of the upper valve seat and the valve cavity by the pressing ring. The four-way split ring is composed of four snap rings spliced into an integral circular ring and is installed in the circular groove on the inner wall of the valve cavity above the pressing ring; The feature is that a radial inner step is arranged in the inner hole of the four-way split ring to form a limiting mechanism with the bolt; The annular table surface of the radial inner step is in clearance fit with the upper end surface of the bolt hexagon head to form an upper limit for the bolt; The outer circumference of the bolt hexagon head touches the inner circular wall below the radial inner step to form a radial limit for the four-way split ring; The lower end surface of the four-way split ring is press-fitted on the upper end surface of the pressing ring, and an axial bolt installation notch is made in the radial inner step of one of the snap rings of the four-way split ring.
[0006] In the above technical solution, a flexible connection mechanism is adopted between the valve stem and the valve flap. The flexible connection mechanism is composed of disc springs respectively arranged between the lower end surface and the upper ring surface of the radial shoulder at the lower end of the valve stem and the inner wall of the valve flap installation cavity.
[0007] In the above technical solution, a valve stem guide ring is arranged at the center of the inner hole of the upper valve seat.
[0008] The beneficial effects of the present utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: A mutual limiting device is formed between the four-way split ring and the bolt. The outer side of the outer hexagon head of the bolt can prevent the four-way split ring from falling out of the circular groove on the inner wall of the valve cavity, and the radial inner step of the four-way split ring can prevent the bolt from being loosened or falling out due to medium erosion. The four-way split ring and the bolt are installed firmly and reliably, and have the advantages of good product use reliability and long service life. Description of the Drawings

The four-way split ring 10 is installed in the circular groove on the inner wall of the valve cavity above the compression ring 9. A lower step is arranged on the outer circular surface of the upper valve seat 7 below the sealing ring 8 to cooperate with the upper step on the inner wall of the valve cavity to form an axial limiting device for the upper valve seat 7; its feature is that: a radial inner step 24 is arranged in the inner hole of the four-way split ring 10 to form a limiting mechanism with the bolt 25; the annular table surface of the radial inner step 24 abuts against the upper end surface of the hexagonal head of the bolt 25, constituting an upper limit for the bolt 25, restricting the axial movement of the bolt 25 and preventing the bolt 25 from being loosened or dropped due to fluid erosion; the outer circumference of the hexagonal head of the bolt 25 abuts against the inner circular wall below the radial inner step 24, constituting a radial limit for the four-way split ring 10 and preventing the four-way split ring 10 from falling out of the circular groove in the valve cavity. The lower end surface of the four-way split ring 10 is press-fitted on the upper end surface of the compression ring 9, as Figure 2 shown. An axial bolt installation notch 23 is made in the radial inner step 24 of one of the snap rings of the four-way split ring 10, so that the bolt 25 can be installed into the compression ring 9 and the upper valve seat 7 from the axial bolt installation notch 23, as Figure 3 shown. After installing one bolt 25, rotate the snap ring so that its axial bolt installation notch 23 is aligned with another installation hole of the compression ring 9 and the upper valve seat 7, and install the bolt 25 into this installation hole. By analogy, install the bolts 25 into the respective installation holes in the circumferential direction of the compression ring 9 and the upper valve seat 7 to complete the installation of the compression ring 9 and the upper valve seat 7.
