The valve body 1 has a plurality of inner portions, and the plurality of inner portions are provided with ...

[0034] This solution is applicable to liquefied natural gas media and other media with temperatures above -196°C.

[0035] The guide body 5 is in a "water drop" shape, and the valve body cavity 4 is in an elliptical structure. A streamlined cavity 13 is formed between the guide body 5 and the inner wall of the valve body cavity 4, which has high fluidity. The design of the water drop-shaped guide body 5 can reduce fluid resistance, save energy, and be environmentally friendly.

[0036] The outer diameter of the support body 8 at one end of the core shaft 6 is connected to the inner wall of the valve body 1 by a screw thread, and the core shaft 6 is inserted into the central hole of the support body 8 by providing a first guide sleeve 14 on its outer periphery;

[0037] A second guide sleeve 15 is provided on the outer diameter of one end of the core shaft 6 located inside the guide body 5. A connecting ring 16 is provided on the outside of the second guide sleeve 15 and is connected to the connecting rib 9 through the connecting ring 16.

[0038] The valve disc 7 is provided with a step structure at one end close to the spring 11, and a protrusion is provided on the second guide sleeve 15, which forms a first step structure and a second step structure at both ends of the second guide sleeve 15; the spring 11 is fixed between the step surface of the step structure of the valve disc 7 and the step surface of the first step structure of the second guide sleeve 15;

[0039] The spring 11 is in the form of a cylindrical spiral;

[0040] The step surface of the second step structure of the second guide sleeve 15 is used to cooperate with the connecting ring 16 on the outer diameter of the second guide sleeve 15 .

[0041] The end of the guide body 5 facing the inlet end of the valve body 1 is the large-diameter end 5.1, and the end facing the outlet end of the valve body 1 is the small-diameter end 5.2, i.e., the tail end of the guide body 5. The guide body 5 is provided with a plurality of pressure balancing grooves 12 on the guide body wall along the circumferential direction. The small-diameter end 5.2 is open and communicates with the cavity at the outlet end of the valve body 1.

[0042] The outer wall of the small-diameter end 5.2 of the flow guide 5 is connected to the connecting rib plate 9, and the outer wall of the connecting rib plate 9 is connected to the inner wall of the outlet end of the valve body 1 by a screw thread.

[0043] The pressure balancing groove 12 provided on the guide body 5 has the advantages of low fluid resistance, rapid valve opening, and avoidance of liquid accumulation and pressure buildup in the guide body 5, thereby effectively reducing vibration and noise.

[0044] In the check valve of this solution, the valve body 1 adopts an integral forging structure, the material structure is dense, and the physical properties are excellent;

[0045] The two ends of the valve body 1 are welded to the pipeline to ensure that there is no external leakage point of the valve;

[0046] The valve seat 10 is welded to the valve body 1, completely eliminating the leakage path between the valve seat 10 and the valve body 1;

[0047] The sealing surfaces of the valve seat 10 and the valve disc 7 are made of hard alloy for overlay welding to achieve wear resistance and enhance the sealing effect, so that the sealing pair can achieve perfect sealing effect at room temperature and -196 degrees Celsius.

[0048] The valve disc 7 is synchronously guided by two guide sleeves at both ends, with high positioning accuracy and low wear;

[0049] The rear side of the valve disc 7 is loaded with a cylindrical coil spring 11. The spring 11 provides an initial pre-tightening sealing force and at the same time plays a role in dynamically closing the valve disc 7, thereby reducing valve noise and avoiding collision between the valve disc 7 and the valve seat 10.

[0050] The outer diameters of both ends of the valve body 1 are further provided with lifting screws 17 to facilitate transportation and installation of the valve; two lifting screws 17 are provided to ensure lifting balance.

[0051] The working principle of this ultra-low temperature axial flow check valve is as follows: the medium enters the valve from the inlet 2, pushing the valve disc 7 to move toward the outlet 3 side, and the valve opens; when the pressure of the inlet 2 drops to a certain range, it will form a dynamic balance with the spring 11, and the valve disc 7 will dynamically close slowly, achieving a noiseless and impact-free closing effect, preventing the flammable and explosive medium from deflagration; when the force of the medium on the inlet 2 side is less than the combined force of the backflow medium force and the spring 11, the valve is completely closed.

[0052] The specific operation process of opening and closing this valve is:

[0053] When there is no medium flow or the medium flows back, the valve is in the closed state. At this time, the sealing surface of the valve disc 7 is attached to the valve seat 10 under the action of the spring 11. Figure 1 As shown; when the medium flows in the forward direction, the medium enters the cavity from the inlet of the valve body 1 and acts on the front end surface of the valve disc 7. Under the action of the medium force, the valve disc 7 moves toward the outlet side, realizing the valve opening. Most of the medium flows to the right from the streamlined cavity 13 outside the guide body 5, and part of the medium enters from the large-diameter end 5.1 of the guide body 5 and flows out through the pressure balance groove 12 on the guide body 5. At the same time, it also flows out from the small-diameter end 5.2 of the guide body 5. In this process, the medium flow resistance is small due to the provision of the pressure balance groove 12 and the opening of the small-diameter end 5.2 of the guide body, so that the valve can be opened quickly. The specific medium flow process of the above valve opening is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown;

[0054] When the valve is fully opened, Figure 3 As shown; the valve needs to be closed. When the pressure at the valve inlet becomes smaller, the medium will flow back. In this process, a part of the medium flows out to the left through the streamlined cavity 13 outside the guide body 5. The medium also enters the guide body 5 through the pressure balance groove 12 of the guide body 5 and flows in the direction of the large-diameter end 5.1 of the guide body. The valve disc 7 is pushed toward the valve seat 10 by the driving force of this part of the medium until the sealing surface of the valve disc 7 is attached to the valve seat 10, realizing complete closure of the valve; the process of valve closing is that the force of the medium at the valve inlet is less than the combined force of the backflow medium and the spring 11; the specific medium flow process of the above-mentioned valve closing is as follows Figure 4 shown.
