Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of natural gas safety shut-off valve technology, and in particular to a natural gas safety shut-off valve. Background Technology

[0002] Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel mainly composed of methane. It is primarily found in oil and gas fields, with a small amount also found in coal seams. During transportation, the gas pressure changes, necessitating the regulation and protection of safety shut-off valves. Natural gas safety shut-off valves are devices used in natural gas transmission and distribution systems to monitor natural gas pressure and, when necessary, shut off the gas supply to ensure system safety.

[0003] Existing natural gas safety shut-off valves may experience gas leakage hazards during prolonged use if the sealing rings at both ends age or are damaged. Although natural gas safety shut-off valves are equipped with combustible gas leak detectors for leak detection, the spaces where natural gas safety shut-off valves are located are usually large, making it difficult to detect leaks in a timely manner. This results in safety hazards in the room where the natural gas safety shut-off valve is located being difficult to detect. Therefore, we propose a new type of natural gas safety shut-off valve. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a natural gas safety shut-off valve. By incorporating an inner cover mechanism and an outer cover mechanism at the valve body, a cavity structure consisting of the inner and outer cover mechanisms is created at the connection between the valve body and the natural gas pipeline. When a natural gas leak occurs at the connection between the valve body and the pipeline, the natural gas within the cavity structure can be quickly detected by a natural gas alarm. This facilitates timely detection of gas leaks at the natural gas safety shut-off valve, ensuring its safe operation and effectively addressing the problems in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A natural gas safety shut-off valve includes a shut-off valve body with flanges fixed at both ends. It also includes an inner cover mechanism and an outer cover mechanism, which are arranged opposite each other to cover the flanges. The inner cover mechanism includes an inner shell of a cover pipe, a rubber arc gasket A, a socket A, a cover plate A, and a semi-circular stepped groove. The inner shell of the cover pipe is symmetrically installed outside the shut-off valve body behind the flange. A rubber arc gasket A for abutting the shut-off valve body is bonded to the inner shell surface of the inner shell of the cover pipe. A cover plate A for covering the flange is symmetrically welded to one side of the shell of the inner shell of the cover pipe. The shells of the cover plate A are symmetrically locked on both sides by bolts and nuts. A semi-circular stepped groove is recessed on the inner shell surface of the cover plate A. The outer casing has a socket A for welding an external connecting pipe. The outer casing mechanism includes a rubber cover gasket, a cover plate cover B, a cover pipe outer cover, a rubber arc gasket B, and a socket B. The rubber cover gasket is symmetrically embedded between the semi-circular stepped grooves of the flange and the cover plate cover A, and the gasket body is bonded and fixed inside the cover plate cover B. The cover plate cover B is locked on both sides by bolts and nuts. The cover pipe outer cover is symmetrically welded to the rear cover of the cover plate cover B away from the rubber cover gasket. The cover pipe outer cover is locked on both sides by bolts and nuts. The rubber arc gasket B is bonded inside the cover pipe outer cover. A socket B for welding an external connecting pipe is opened on the surface of one set of the cover pipe outer cover. A natural gas alarm is inserted into the vertical pipe opening of the external connecting pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, two sets of shells inside the cover tube are symmetrically fixed with rear mounting plates A on both sides, and bolts and nuts pass through the holes on the surface of the rear mounting plates A inside the cover tube to lock them in place.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a rear mounting plate A inside the cover tube, the inner shell of the cover tube can be symmetrically locked with bolts and nuts using the rear mounting plate A. This design helps to prevent the inner shell of the cover tube from loosening or falling off during use.

[0009] Furthermore, the cover plate is symmetrically fixed with side mounting plates A on both sides of the two sets of shells A, and bolts and nuts pass through the holes on the surface of the side mounting plates A of the cover plate to lock them in place.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a side mounting plate A at the cover plate opposite shell A, the cover plate opposite shell A can be symmetrically locked with bolts and nuts using the side mounting plate A. This design helps to prevent the cover plate opposite shell A from loosening or falling off during use.

[0011] Furthermore, the cover plate is symmetrically fixed with side mounting plates B on both sides of the two sets of shells B, and bolts and nuts pass through the holes on the surface of the side mounting plates B of the cover plate to lock them.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a side mounting plate B at the cover plate to the shell B, the cover plate to the shell B can be symmetrically locked with bolts and nuts using the side mounting plate B. This design helps to prevent the cover plate to the shell B from loosening or falling off during use.

[0013] Furthermore, the two sets of shells on both sides of the outer shell of the cover tube are symmetrically fixed with rear mounting plates B, and bolts and nuts pass through the holes on the surface of the rear mounting plates B on the outer shell of the cover tube and lock them in place.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a rear mounting plate B at the outer shell of the cover tube, the outer shell of the cover tube can be symmetrically locked with bolts and nuts using the rear mounting plate B. This design helps to prevent the outer shell of the cover tube from loosening or falling off during use.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner shell surfaces of the inner and outer shells of the cover tube are recessed with semi-circular grooves, and rubber arc pads A and B are respectively bonded in the semi-circular grooves of the inner and outer shells of the cover tube.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner shell and outer shell of the cover tube can be respectively bonded and installed with rubber arc pad A and rubber arc pad B through semi-circular grooves.

[0017] Furthermore, the external connecting pipe has an L-shaped body, and a ring is bonded to the vertical pipe body of the external connecting pipe.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the L-shaped pipe design allows the external connecting pipe to be connected to the natural gas alarm more flexibly, while the ring design provides additional support and fixing points, which helps to ensure that the external connecting pipe will not loosen or fall off due to vibration or external force during use.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This utility model provides an inner cover mechanism and an outer cover mechanism at the shut-off valve body. The inner cover mechanism and the outer cover mechanism create a cavity structure at the connection between the shut-off valve body and the natural gas pipeline. When a natural gas leak occurs at the connection between the shut-off valve body and the natural gas pipeline, the natural gas in the cavity structure can be quickly detected by the natural gas alarm. This helps to ensure that gas leaks at the natural gas safety shut-off valve can be detected in a timely manner, thus ensuring the safe use of the natural gas safety shut-off valve.

[0021] Furthermore, the inner and outer cover mechanisms are combined and positioned opposite each other outside the flange, forming a solid protective barrier that can effectively reduce natural gas leakage when it occurs at the shut-off valve body. Attached Figure Description
