DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The device also includes a cover shell 3, which is fixed to the upper surface of the valve cover 4. The material of the cover shell 3 is preferably metal so that the cover shell 3 can make a sound when it is hit. An impact ball 18 is also movably installed on the inner wall of the movable cover shell 3. The impact ball 18 can swing upward, thereby knocking on the inner wall of the cover shell 3 to make a warning sound.
[0028] In addition, in order to drive the impact ball 18 to move, a rotating disk 15 is provided on the upper surface of the valve cover 4 and inside the cover shell 3. An extrusion block 151 is fixedly provided on the outer circumference of the rotating disk 15. When the rotating disk 15 rotates, the extrusion block 151 contacts the impact ball 18 and drives the impact ball 18 to hit the cover shell 3. Multiple extrusion blocks 151 can be set along the outer circumference of the rotating disk 15 to produce a continuous warning sound.
[0029] In addition, in order to provide rotational power to the rotating disk 15, a rotating ring 11 is also provided on the outer peripheral surface of the pull rod 2 and outside the cover shell 3. The lower end of the rotating ring 11 is provided with an extension portion 112, and the outer peripheral surface of the extension portion 112 is provided with an annular groove 113. A first through hole 31 is provided in the center of the cover shell 3, and the side wall of the first through hole 31 is located in the annular groove 113, so that the rotating ring 11 is clamped on the cover shell 3 through the annular groove 113 to avoid the movement of the pull rod 2 affecting the rotating ring 11.
[0030] A sunken groove 152 is defined on the upper surface of the rotating disk 15 , with the lower end of the extension 112 positioned within the groove 152 . A spring 16 is disposed within the groove 152 . One end of the spring 16 is secured to a sidewall of the groove 152 , while the other end of the spring 16 is secured to the extension 112 . Rotating the rotating ring 11 tightens the spring 16 , and the elastic potential energy of the spring 16 drives the rotating disk 15 to rotate.
[0031] In addition, in order to prevent the rotating ring 11 from rotating after tightening the mainspring 16, an upper locking structure is provided between the rotating ring 11 and the cover 3. The upper locking structure is used to limit the unidirectional rotation of the rotating ring 11 to prevent the rotating ring 11 from rotating.
[0032] Furthermore, in order to keep the rotating disk 15 in a stationary state when the valve is in the open state, a lower locking structure is provided between the rotating disk 15 and the pull rod 2. The lower locking structure is used to lock or unlock the rotating disk 15, so that when the valve is in the open state, the rotating disk 15 is in a locked state, and when the valve is in the closed state, the rotating disk 15 is in an unlocked state, thereby preventing the impact ball 18 from hitting the cover 3 when the valve is in the open state.
[0033] In this embodiment, the user can manually rotate the rotating ring 11. Under the action of the upper locking structure and the lower locking structure, the spring 16 in the rotating disk 15 is gradually tightened, thereby providing the rotating disk 15 with the power required for rotation. When the valve is closed due to underpressure, overpressure or overcurrent, the pull rod 2 moves up or down, thereby unlocking the rotating disk 15 through the lower locking structure, and then the extrusion block 151 with the impact ball 18 knocks on the cover 3 to make a warning sound. The device is mechanically driven and can be used even when the power is off.
[0034] Combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to facilitate the installation of the upper locking structure, the diameter of the extension portion 112 is smaller than the diameter of the rotating ring 11, so that a step portion is formed at the intersection of the rotating ring 11 and the extension portion 112.
[0035] In addition, the upper locking structure includes a receiving groove 111 opened vertically upward on the stepped portion, and an upper serrated gear 13 is provided in the receiving groove 111. The serrations of the upper serrated gear 13 are provided on the lower surface, and a second latching block 131 is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the upper serrated gear 13. A vertical groove 114 is opened on the inner wall of the receiving groove 111. The height of the vertical groove 114 is greater than the height of the second latching block 131, so that the second latching block 131 can slide in the vertical groove 114. When the rotating ring 11 rotates, the upper serrated gear 13 can be driven to rotate through the cooperation between the vertical groove 114 and the second latching block 131.
[0036] In addition, a lower saw gear 14 is fixedly provided at the center of the upper surface of the cover shell 3. The lower saw gear 14 is arranged around the first through hole 31, and the serrations of the lower saw gear 14 are arranged on the upper surface. The lower saw gear 14 fits with the upper saw gear 13, so that when the rotating ring 11 rotates in one direction, the upper saw gear 13 slides upward along the vertical groove 114, so that the rotation of the rotating ring 11 is not hindered. When the rotating ring 11 rotates in the opposite direction, the lower saw gear 14 hinders the rotation of the upper saw gear 13, thereby preventing the rotating ring 11 from rotating after tightening the mainspring 16.
[0037] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the movement of the upper saw gear 13, a first spring 12 is provided between the upper surface of the upper saw gear 13 and the top of the accommodating groove 111, and the first spring 12 always applies a pressure to the upper saw gear 13 toward the lower saw gear 14.
[0038] Combine Figure 2 and Figure 5 In order to facilitate the installation of the rotating disk 15, a slip ring 153 is fixed at the bottom of the rotating disk 15, and a slide groove 41 is opened on the upper surface of the valve body 5. The slip ring 153 slides in the slide groove 41 to facilitate the rotation of the rotating disk 15. A second through hole 155 is opened in the center of the rotating disk 15. The lower end of the pull rod 2 passes through the second through hole 155, so that the rotation of the rotating disk 15 and the movement of the pull rod 2 in the vertical direction do not interfere with each other.
[0039] A locking groove 154 is formed on the inner wall of the second through hole 155 , and a first locking block 21 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the pull rod 2 at the second through hole 155 . The first locking block 21 can be engaged with or disengaged from the locking groove 154 in the vertical direction to lock or unlock the rotating disk 15 .
[0040] Combine Figure 2 - Figure 4 In order to increase the impact force of the impact ball 18 on the cover shell 3, a second spring 17 is fixed on the inner wall of the cover shell 3. The axis of the second spring 17 is toward the center of the cover shell 3 and inclined upward, and the impact ball 18 is fixed to one end of the second spring 17 close to the center of the cover shell 3, so that when the extrusion block 151 drives the impact ball 18 to move downward, it drives the second spring 17 to press downward and increase the deformation of the second spring 17. When the extrusion block 151 passes over the impact ball 18, the second spring 17 drives the impact ball 18 to swing upward, so that the impact ball 18 hits the cover shell 3 with greater force.
[0041] Combine Figure 4 or Figure 5 In order to improve the smoothness of the contact between the extrusion block 151 and the impact ball 18, the upper surface of the extrusion block 151 is higher than the top of the impact ball 18, and the lower surface of the extrusion block 151 is set to an inclined surface, so that when the extrusion block 151 contacts the impact ball 18, the impact ball 18 is squeezed downward along the inclined surface.
[0042] In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the device, the pull rod 2 is preferably composed of an upper rod and a lower rod, the upper rod and the lower rod are connected by a thread, and the connection between the upper rod and the lower rod is located inside the valve cover 4, so that when the device needs maintenance, the upper rod can be rotated and removed first, and then other components can be removed in turn, avoiding the need to disassemble the device from the valve cover 4 and the need for gas cutting.
[0043] The working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: when in use, the rotating ring 11 is first rotated to tighten the mainspring 16. Under the action of the upper locking structure, the rotating ring 11 can only rotate in one direction and cannot rotate back. When the pull rod 2 moves up or down, the first locking block 21 disengages from the locking groove 154 to release the lock on the rotating disk 15. The rotating disk 15 rotates under the action of the mainspring 16, thereby driving the extrusion block 151 to rotate and causing the extrusion block 151 to push the impact ball 18 downward. At the same time, the second spring 17 bends downward. When the extrusion block 151 passes over the impact ball 18, the second spring 17 swings upward and drives the impact ball 18 to knock on the cover 3, thereby issuing a warning sound to remind the user.
[0044] To sum up, the gas pipeline valve is provided with a rotating ring 11, a rotating disk 15, a spring 16, a cover 3 and an impact ball 18. The spring 16 is tightened by the rotating ring 11. When underpressure, overpressure or overcurrent occurs in the pipeline, the spring 16 can drive the rotating disk 15 to rotate, thereby driving the impact ball 18 to knock on the cover 3 to issue a warning sound. The device is mechanically driven and is not restricted by power supply, avoiding the disadvantage of not being able to issue a warning when the power is off; by sleeves of the rotating ring 11 and the rotating disk 15 on the pull rod 2, and supporting the rotating ring 11 by the cover 3, multiple structures can be integrated above the valve cover 4. The overall structure is compact and does not require additional area during installation, making it easy to install and use.
