AI Technical Summary
Existing cryogenic gate valves lack protection and insulation on the handwheel and valve cover top, resulting in poor insulation performance, and the connection between the valve body and the pipeline is difficult to effectively insulate.
The gate valve is wrapped with horizontal and vertical insulation boxes and fixed with a snap-fit structure. In combination with multiple layers of insulation cotton, the valve body, valve cover, handwheel and connecting flange are insulated in all directions. In particular, the handwheel is insulated by the combination of fourth and third insulation cotton, and the second insulation cotton in the inner cavity of the side insulation chamber is insulated at the connection of the connecting flange.
This improves the practicality and working quality of the gate valve in low-temperature environments, ensuring the normal operation of the entire gate valve at low temperatures and avoiding the influence of the external environment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gate valve technology, and more specifically, to a cryogenic gate valve. Background Technology
[0002] A gate valve is an opening and closing element consisting of a gate. The direction of the gate's movement is perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow. Gate valves can only be fully open or fully closed; they cannot be used for regulation or throttling. Gate valves achieve sealing through the contact between the valve seat and the gate. Typically, the sealing surface is overlaid with metal material to increase wear resistance. To meet the need for gate valves to operate at low temperatures, cryogenic gate valves have been developed.
[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN222163620U discloses an ultra-low temperature gate valve, comprising a valve body, a gate plate slidably mounted on the valve body, a valve seat for cooperating with the gate plate to seal the gate valve, a valve stem for driving the gate plate to move, a handwheel for driving the valve stem to rotate, and a heat preservation mechanism for heat preservation of the gate valve. The heat preservation mechanism includes: a heat preservation layer wrapped around the valve body and used for sealing and heat preservation of the valve body; and an isolation component mounted on the valve body and located above the heat preservation layer. The isolation component is used to separate the uninsulated part from the insulated part and to isolate condensate generated above the isolation component. This patent uses the handwheel to drive the valve stem to rotate and drive the gate plate to slide, thereby opening or closing the valve body. The heat preservation layer wraps and insulates the valve body, and the isolation component blocks and drains the water accumulated above the isolation component in a timely manner, reducing the probability of condensate seeping into the heat preservation layer, thereby improving the heat preservation effect of the gate valve on the internal medium. However, the above patents still have the following shortcomings: they do not provide protection and insulation for the handwheel and the top of the valve cover, resulting in poor performance. In addition, it is not convenient to provide insulation and protection for the part where the valve body and the pipeline are connected. Therefore, we propose a cryogenic gate valve.
