TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a check valve, concretely relates to a pipeline check valve with adjustable flow, opening pressure and pressure drop. BACKGROUND
[0002] Check valve refers to the valve with valve clack as the opening and closing member, which is driven by its own weight or spring force and medium pressure to block the backflow of medium, belonging to the automatic valve, also known as non-return valve, check valve, etc. The traditional check valve includes lift check valve, swing check valve, double plate check valve, axial flow check valve and inclined disc check valve, which are widely used in the pipeline of petrochemical plants.
[0003] The conventional check valve structure is fixed and cannot be adjusted, and the sealing element of the check valve is usually opened by overcoming the weight of the valve clack or the spring force, so the opening pressure and pressure drop are large.
[0004] Each type of conventional check valve has its own shortcomings.
[0005] Lift check valve: the flow passage is complex and the flow resistance is large. When the lift check valve is opened, the weight of the sealing valve clack needs to be overcome, and it is not easy to open when the medium flow is small. In actual project application, the pressure drop of the lift check valve is too large, which affects the flow of medium.
[0006] Swing check valve: when the swing check valve is fully opened, the weight of the entire valve clack needs to be overcome, and the pressure drop is large. If the medium flow is unstable, the valve clack will repeatedly hit the stop block, causing pipeline vibration and resulting in large noise in the field.
[0007] Inclined disc check valve: the structure is complex, the valve clack is easy to be stuck in the valve body, and the inclined disc check valve needs to be opened on the valve body to install the center shaft, which is easy to form a leakage point.
[0008] Double plate check valve: the spring force needs to be overcome when the double plate check valve is opened, and the flow resistance of the valve is large.
[0009] Axial flow check valve: the structure is complex and the cost is high.
[0010] In addition, the double plate check valve and the axial flow check valve both require the medium flow to meet the full opening requirement, and in the half-open state, the spring of the double plate check valve or the axial flow check valve is in a long-term motion state, which affects the service life of the spring.

The left valve body 1 and the right valve body 2 are integrated. The flow regulating plates 3 are detachably disposed on the flow section between the left valve body 1 and the right valve body 2. Each flow regulating plate 3 has several openings 31 for the medium to flow through. The right valve body 2 is a conical valve body, and the bottom of the right valve body 2 has a ramp 21. Figure 2 As shown, the slope α of the ramp 21 is 5°. The two ends of the ramp 21 are connected to the narrow diameter end of the right valve body 2 and the right side of the flow regulating plate 3 located on the far right, respectively. The ramp 21 slopes from the bottom of the narrow diameter end of the right valve body 2 toward the radial inner side of the right valve body 2. The sealing ball 4 is detachably set inside the narrow diameter end of the right valve body 2. The narrow diameter end of the right valve body 2 is the medium inflow end.
[0030] In this embodiment, several flow regulating plates 3 are sealed and inserted at the junction of the left valve body 1 and the right valve body 2. Two adjacent flow regulating plates 3 are arranged in parallel, and the several flow regulating plates 3 are locked together by bolt pairs 32. The openings 31 on the same flow regulating plate 3 have the same diameter, while the number and diameter of the openings 31 on different flow regulating plates 3 are different.
