Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety valve technology, specifically to a safety valve that uses an elastic material for auxiliary sealing. Background Technology

[0002] Safety valves are increasingly used in modern manufacturing engineering technology. The main function of safety valves is to prevent dangerous situations such as explosions or leaks caused by excessive pressure inside equipment or containers.

[0003] As safety valve technology is increasingly applied across various industries, the performance of traditional safety valves is constantly improving, making the development of new safety valve products that meet market demands imperative. Traditional safety valves are divided into two categories: soft-seal and hard-seal.

[0004] The advantage of hard seals is that the opening pressure is relatively stable, but the disadvantages are that it is difficult to achieve zero leakage, and the requirements for operating conditions are high. Once there are even a little bit of pipeline impurities on the sealing surface, the sealing surface will be damaged, and the cost is high.

[0005] The advantage of soft seals is that they can easily achieve zero leakage. However, due to high pressure, the valve disc rubber and plastic are prone to deformation and damage, the pressure is unstable, and there may even be sudden leakage during the pressure holding period, resulting in a large loss of precious gas for customers.

[0006] Therefore, most safety valves on the market use hard seals, which are costly. Although the leakage rate meets leakage standards, it still results in the loss of gas for customers. More and more customers are using precious or even harmful gases such as high-pressure hydrogen and high-pressure helium. In this case, a safety valve with stable pressure and zero leakage is needed to ensure the safety of pressure vessels and pipelines and prevent media leakage. Utility Model Content

The valve disc rod 5 is used to drive the valve core 2 to open or close the valve.

[0054] The valve disc assembly is the moving part of the safety valve 100, which uses elastic material for auxiliary sealing. The valve disc rod 5 moves up and down to drive the valve core 2 to open or close the valve.

[0055] The safety valve 100 of this invention, which uses elastic material for auxiliary sealing, is used for hard sealing, and the valve disc assembly can be made of metal.
