Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nuclear power, in particular to a lifting check valve for a nuclear power plant. Background Art
[0002] Conventional check valves, commonly used in nuclear power plant systems, prevent backflow of media. To achieve this function, conventional check valves press the disc against the seat through the pressure of the media, creating a seal. The tightness of a check valve is directly proportional to the pressure.
[0003] This check valve often uses a soft-sealing disc. A common structure for this type of disc is a dovetail groove and an O-ring, forming a sealing pair with the valve seat. The O-ring in this dovetail groove requires manual pressure into the groove, making installation difficult and technically difficult to ensure the flatness of the O-ring. The unevenness of the O-ring affects the sealing performance of the check valve, particularly under low pressure differentials. Furthermore, the O-ring in this type of disc is prone to dislodging after manual installation, creating a risk of it falling out of the dovetail groove during equipment operation, potentially leading to internal leakage.

[0027] A valve flap assembly 40 that cooperates with the valve seat 11 is provided in the valve body 10. The valve flap assembly 40 includes a valve flap body 41, a sealing ring 42, a pressure plate 43 and a fastening nut 44. The valve flap body 41 is provided with a receiving groove 411 on the side facing the valve seat 11, and a sealing ring groove 412 is formed on the side of the receiving groove 411 close to the valve seat 11.
[0028] The surface of the accommodating groove 411 facing the valve seat 11 is provided with a mounting post 413, and the circumferential outer side surface of the mounting post 413 is at least partially provided with an external thread. The sealing ring 42 is installed in the accommodating groove 411, and the pressure plate 43 is annular. The pressure plate 43 is sleeved on the mounting post 413, and the circumferential outer side surface of the pressure plate 43 and the circumferential inner side surface of the sealing ring groove 412 jointly squeeze and fix the sealing ring 42.
