[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The utility model discloses a kind of important plant water pump pressure reducing valves of nuclear power plant, it includes shell 1, adjusting rod 2 being installed on shell 1 and can be moved along the axial direction of shell 1, push rod base 3 connected with adjusting rod 2, valve core 4 connected with push rod base 3 and valve seat 5 fixedly installed in shell 1. Among them, valve core 4 includes the base body 41 connected with push rod base 3, the sealing body 42 connected with base body 41 and the connecting body 43 connected with sealing body 42;Valve seat 5 is provided with the action hole 51 for fluid to pass, the action hole 51 includes cooperation section 511 and sealing section 512 connected with cooperation section 511, base body 41 is correspondingly arranged with cooperation section 511, sealing body 42 is correspondingly arranged with sealing section 512;The cross-sectional area of base body 41 in horizontal direction gradually decreases along the direction of push rod base 3 towards valve core 4, the cross-sectional area of cooperation section 511 in horizontal direction gradually decreases along the direction of push rod base 3 towards valve core 4.
[0027] Specifically, the maximum diameter of the base 41 is 10mm to 11mm, the minimum diameter of the base 41 is 5mm to 6mm, the maximum diameter of the fitting section 511 is 16mm to 17mm, and the minimum diameter of the fitting section 511 is 9mm to 10mm. Understandably, the base 41 and the fitting section 511 are fitted with a certain gap therebetween, in the embodiment, when the nuclear power plant important service water pump pressure reducing valve is in the closed state, the gap between the lower part of the fitting section 511 and the base 41 is 2mm, and the gap between the upper part of the fitting section 511 and the base 41 is 3mm, that is, the maximum diameter of the fitting section 511 is preferably 16mm, and the minimum diameter of the fitting section 511 is preferably 10mm.

Flexible adjustment mode: The pressure reducing valve of the utility model is not necessarily continuously adjusted, and can be designed as two-stage or multi-stage adjustment according to actual demand, and different flow ranges are switched through the size matching of the valve core 4 and the valve seat 5.
