[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention. Therefore, they only show the components relevant to the present invention. Orientations and references (e.g., up, down, left, right, etc.) are only used to aid in the description of the features in the drawings. Therefore, the following specific embodiments are not intended to be restrictive, and the scope of the claimed subject matter is defined solely by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a double bidirectional sealing structure of valve seat and valve body is provided. Valve seat 1 is located in the valve cavity of valve body 2 and fixed between valve body 2 and valve core 4. It is used to cooperate with valve core 4 to connect or block the liquid inlet flow channel and the liquid outlet flow channel. One side of valve seat 1 is used to seal with valve body 2 and the other side is used to seal with valve core 4.

[0024] The valve seat 1 includes a first sealing surface 1a for sealing with the valve body 2. The first sealing surface 1a has a recessed opening to form at least two spaced sealing grooves 101. Each sealing groove 101 is equipped with a sealing ring 3. At least one boss 102 is formed between the at least two sealing grooves 101. The boss 102 has a convex surface 1021 that is protruding to provide a mirror seal with the sealing surface of the valve body 2. The contact area between the convex surface 1021 and the sealing surface of the valve body 2 is hardened and ground to achieve full mirror contact. This sealing method effectively reduces the damage to the sealing surface caused by small particulate impurities in the fluid, greatly reducing maintenance costs. Moreover, the sealing area of ​​the convex surface 1021 is large. Even if discontinuous through-damage occurs, the valve seat 1 can be repaired and continued to be used, thereby achieving the goal of cost reduction.

[0025] When the valve is closed, the valve core 4 presses against the valve seat 1. The sealing ring 3 located inside the convex surface 1021 is used to intercept the medium entering along the first direction (the direction of the liquid inlet or outlet flow into the valve cavity) and seal that direction. The sealing ring 3 located outside the convex surface 1021 is used to intercept the medium entering along the second direction opposite to the first direction (the direction of the liquid inlet or outlet flow into the valve cavity) and seal that direction, thus achieving bidirectional sealing. In addition, the mirror seal between the convex surface 1021 in the middle and the sealing surface of the valve body 2 achieves double sealing, thereby improving the sealing effect between the valve seat 1 and the valve body 2.

[0026] In some examples, the sealing ring 3 includes a metal open ring 301 and a spring 302 located within the metal open ring 301 and applying a continuous elastic force to it. The metal open ring 301 can generally be a C-shaped structure. When the valve is closed, the valve core 4 presses against the valve seat 1, and the metal open ring 301 in the sealing groove 101 is compressed, causing the spring 302 to be compressed synchronously. The spring 302 is supported inside the metal open ring 301 so that it is in close contact with the valve body 2 to achieve a seal. Furthermore, by setting a reasonable amount of compression, the boss 102 contacts the sealing surface of the valve body 2 while the sealing ring 3 is compressed, thereby achieving a double seal.

[0027] In some examples, the openings of the metal open rings 301 of the two sealing rings 3 located on both sides of the valve are respectively oriented towards the side opposite to each other. That is, the sealing ring 3 located on the outer side is the outer sealing ring 3, and its metal open ring 301 opening is the outer opening. When the pressure in front of the valve (valve cavity) is high, the pressure enters the interior of the outer sealing ring 3 from the outer opening, expanding the outer sealing ring 3 (the outer sealing ring 3 undergoes slight deformation) to achieve sealing in this direction. The sealing ring 3 located on the inner side is the inner sealing ring 3, and its metal open ring 301 opening is the inner opening. When the pressure in the rear of the valve (inlet or outlet flow channel) is high, the pressure enters the interior of the inner sealing ring 3 from the inner opening, expanding the inner sealing ring 3 (the inner sealing ring 3 undergoes slight deformation) to achieve sealing in this direction.

[0028] In some examples, at least two sealing grooves 101 are connected to the outer wall of the sealing groove 101 to form an outer connecting wall 103, and the inner wall of the sealing groove 101 is connected to the inner wall of the valve seat 1 to form an inner connecting wall 104. Both the outer connecting wall 103 and the inner connecting wall 104 have gaps between them and the sealing surface of the valve body 2, that is, the convex surface 1021 protrudes from the outer connecting wall 103 and the inner connecting wall 104. When the valve is closed, the valve core 4 squeezes the valve seat 1, so that the convex surface 1021 contacts the sealing surface of the valve body 2 to achieve a mirror seal. At this time, the sealing ring 3 can intercept the medium entering from the gap to achieve a double seal.

[0029] In some examples, the inner side of the valve seat 1 is recessed to form a tool groove 105 for a disassembly tool to enter and remove the valve seat 1 from the valve body 2. The cross-section of the tool groove 105 can be, but is not limited to, arc-shaped or rectangular shapes. To improve the fit with the disassembly tool, the tool groove 105 is preferably rectangular. When the medium contains dust or particulate matter, this medium will fill the gap between the valve seat 1 and the valve body 2, making it difficult to remove the valve seat 1 and increasing maintenance difficulties. In this case, the valve seat 1 can be removed by tapping the groove wall with a tool, or by using hydraulic tools to push or pull out the valve seat 1 with the help of the groove wall.

[0030] In some examples, the outer peripheral wall of the valve seat 1 is provided with a guide slope 106 to guide the valve seat 1 into the valve body 2, making it easier to install the valve seat 1.

[0031] In some examples, the valve seat 1 also includes a second sealing surface 1b for mirror sealing with the valve core 4. The contact area between the second sealing surface 1b and the valve core 4 is hardened and ground to mirror contact, which can avoid the difficulty of valve core 4 turning caused by soft sealing. Moreover, this sealing method can greatly reduce the damage to the sealing surface caused by particulate impurities in the medium and reduce maintenance costs.

[0032] In some examples, a ball valve includes a double bidirectional sealing structure of the valve seat 1 and the valve body 2, wherein the valve body 2 has a valve core 4 and a valve stem 5 disposed in the valve cavity, and the valve core 4 includes two ball petals that are hinged at the bottom and can close or open during the raising and lowering of the valve stem 2.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] When the valve is closed, the valve core 4 presses against the valve seat 1, and the metal open ring 301 in the sealing groove 101 is compressed, causing the spring 302 to be compressed synchronously. The spring 302 is supported inside the metal open ring 301, making it in close contact with the valve body 2 to achieve a seal. When the pressure before the valve is high, the pressure enters the interior of the outer sealing ring 3 from the outer opening, opening the outer sealing ring 3 to achieve a seal in this direction. When the pressure after the valve is high, the pressure enters the interior of the inner sealing ring 3 from the inner opening, opening the inner sealing ring 3 to achieve a seal in this direction, thus achieving a bidirectional seal. At the same time, the convex surface 1021 and the sealing surface of the valve body 2 are mirror-sealed to achieve a double seal, improving the sealing effect between the valve seat 1 and the valve body 2.

[0035] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
