Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a valve seat assembly and a forged steel fully welded fixed ball valve. Background Art

[0002] As a key control element in the fluid delivery system, the sealing performance of the valve is directly related to the safety, reliability and operating efficiency of the system. The valve seat seal is one of the core components to achieve the valve sealing function. It is usually supported by rubber materials and is usually installed on the valve seat or valve body to form a sealing pair with the ball.

[0003] For fully welded trunnion-mounted ball valves, in actual applications, valve seat seal wear is one of the main causes of valve leakage, performance degradation, and even failure, especially under harsh working conditions such as frequent opening and closing, high pressure difference, or high-speed fluid.

[0004] The common arrangement of valve seats and sealing rings is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, after the sealing ring is gradually worn, the preload force of its coil spring will gradually decrease, so that the extrusion force between the sealing ring and the ball will decrease, thus reducing the sealing performance between the ball and the valve seat; however, after the sealing ring is worn, when the sealing performance between the ball and the valve seat does not meet the use requirements, it is usually necessary to replace the valve seat or the sealing ring, thus increasing the consumption of the valve seat or the sealing ring and the use cost of the valve during use.

[0005] Therefore, how to maintain or slow down the sealing performance between the ball and the valve seat after the sealing ring is worn without replacing the valve seat parts is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0009] When the movement of the valve seat pressure ring along its width direction is adjusted to reduce the gap a, the sealing ring is squeezed by the inner wall of the first chamber and the valve seat pressure ring so that the sealing ring extends toward the first end.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a first inclined surface is formed in the first chamber, and the first inclined surface is used to guide the sealing ring to extend toward the direction close to the first end when the gap a is reduced.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the cross-sectional shape of the sealing ring is a triangle, and the first end is located at the end of the triangular cross-section of the sealing ring.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a limiting step is provided on the cylindrical pin, and the limiting step is used to abut against a side of the valve seat pressure ring away from the sealing ring.

[0013] As the priority technical solution of the present application, the cylindrical pin is provided with an external thread, and the first mating groove is provided with an internal thread. The cylindrical pin and the first mating groove are threadedly mated through the internal and external threads so that the cylindrical pin can adjust its position along the length direction of the first mating groove.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a sealing assembly is further provided on the valve seat support, and the sealing assembly is used to abut against the inner wall of the valve body so that the sealing assembly cooperates with the valve body to form a sealing pair.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the sealing assembly includes a graphite rope and / or an O-ring, and the O-ring is made of an elastic rubber material.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the valve seat support includes a valve seat body and a first base, the first base is slidably arranged on the valve seat body, the cylindrical pin is internally threadedly connected with a secondary pin, the secondary pin is used to abut against the first base, and the side of the first base away from the secondary pin is used to abut against the coil spring;

[0017] By rotating the auxiliary pin relative to the cylindrical pin, the auxiliary pin is enabled to push the first base to move relative to the valve seat body along the length direction of the first fitting groove, and the moving direction of the first base relative to the valve seat body is the same as the length direction of the helical spring.

[0018] The utility model further provides a forged steel fully welded fixed ball valve, including the valve seat assembly as described above.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. In the solution of the present application, after the sealing ring is worn and the sealing performance between the sphere and the valve seat fails to meet the usage requirements, by disassembling the valve and adjusting the movement of the valve seat pressing ring along its width direction, the gap a is reduced, so that the sealing ring is stretched towards the direction close to the first end under the extrusion of the inner wall of the first chamber and the valve seat pressing ring, thereby compensating for the worn part on the sealing ring, increasing the pre-tightening force of the helical spring in this way, enabling the pre-tightening force of the helical spring at this time to reach or approach the pre-tightening force when the sealing ring is not worn. Thus, the service life of the sealing ring can be prolonged, the replacement frequency of the valve seat or the sealing ring can be reduced, and the usage cost during the use of the valve can be reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of maintaining or slowing down the sealing performance between the sphere and the valve seat without replacing the valve seat parts after the sealing ring is worn;

[0021] 2. Further, by providing the first inclined surface, when the sealing ring is extruded by the inner wall of the first chamber and the valve seat pressing ring, the first inclined surface plays a guiding role to guide the sealing ring to stretch towards the direction close to the first end;

[0022] 3. Further, after the cylindrical pin and the first fitting groove are in threaded fit through internal and external threads, by rotating the cylindrical pin relative to the first fitting groove around its own central axis, the cylindrical pin can move relative to the first fitting groove along the length direction of the first fitting groove, thereby adjusting the position of the cylindrical pin in the length direction of the first fitting groove, so as to facilitate the reduction of the gap a and thus facilitate the stretching of the sealing ring towards the direction close to the first end;

[0023] 4. Further, by providing the auxiliary pin, the auxiliary pin is in threaded connection with the cylindrical pin, so that when the auxiliary pin rotates relative to the cylindrical pin around its own central axis, the auxiliary pin can move relative to the cylindrical pin along the length direction of the cylindrical pin. On the premise that the cylindrical pin is fixed relative to the valve seat body, by rotating the auxiliary pin relative to the cylindrical pin, the auxiliary pin moves along the length direction of the cylindrical pin, so that the first base can be pushed to move relative to the valve seat body, thereby further adjusting the pre-tightening force of the helical spring. Furthermore, when the pre-tightening force of the helical spring is reduced due to the wear of the sealing ring, this adjustment method can further increase the pre-tightening force of the helical spring, thereby further improving the sealing performance between the sphere and the valve seat.

The first card slot 3 houses a valve seat pressing ring 6, and the valve seat pressing ring 6 abuts against the sealing ring 5. A gap a is formed between the side of the valve seat pressing ring 6 facing the sealing ring 5 and the first card slot 3, and the gap a ≠ 0. A cylindrical pin 7 is provided in the first mating slot 4. The cylindrical pin 7 is used to limit the movement of the valve seat pressing ring 6 in its radial direction and adjust the movement of the valve seat pressing ring 6 in its width direction.
