Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a sealing structure of a valve with online replaceable filler. Background Art

[0002] Valves are pipeline accessories used to open and close pipelines, control flow direction, and regulate and control the parameters of the conveyed medium (temperature, pressure, and flow). Based on their function, they can be categorized as shutoff valves, check valves, and regulating valves. Shutoff valves, which function as opening and closing valves, are commonly located at the inlet and outlet of cooling and heating sources, equipment inlets and outlets, and pipeline branches (including risers). They can also serve as drain valves and air release valves. Common shutoff valves include gate valves, globe valves, ball valves, and butterfly valves.

[0003] In existing shut-off valves, packing is usually arranged between the valve stem and the valve cover to ensure a good seal between the two. Specifically, a packing cavity is provided on the valve cover, and packing is loaded into the packing cavity. The packing pressure plate is connected to the valve cover by a slipknot bolt. The valve cover applies pressure to the packing sleeve, and the packing sleeve presses the packing into the seasoning cavity to ensure the sealing between the valve cover and the valve stem.

[0004] However, after long-term use, the packing sealing structure will age and the sealing performance will deteriorate. At this time, the packing needs to be replaced. However, when replacing the packing, the system needs to be shut down first, the pressure in the pipeline needs to be relieved, and then the valve packing can be replaced. This is not only troublesome to operate, but also causes production tasks to be interrupted and reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content
