DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0023] Embodiment one, this embodiment aims to promote the solution, but the existing pilot pressure reducing valve contains pilot valve and main valve and multiple components, which makes its volume and weight larger, does not meet the miniaturization and light weight requirement of space equipment, please refer to Figures 1-4The utility model provides a high-precision high-pressure pressure reducing valve, including valve seat 110, valve element 111 and sensitive element 119, the plug 112 is installed in valve seat 110, valve element 111 is arranged in valve seat 110, and valve element 111 is located the front side of plug 112, and sensitive element 119 is arranged at the end of valve element 111, and the valve housing 113 is installed in the front side of valve seat 110, the internal passage 118 is seted up in valve element 111, the gas inlet 114 is seted up in the end of valve housing 113, the gas outlet 115 is seted up outside valve housing 113, and the gas inlet 114, the gas outlet 115 are communicated with the internal passage 118, and the wave spring 116 is seted up outside valve element 111, and the filter screen 117 is seted up in the gas inlet 114.

[0024] The installation groove 120 is seted up in valve seat 110, and the installation block 121 corresponding with the installation groove 120 is installed outside plug 112, and the installation groove 120 is slidably installed with the installation block 121.The end of installation block 121 is installed with the clamping block 122, and the clamping groove 123 corresponding with the clamping block 122 is seted up in the installation groove 120, and the clamping groove 123 is communicated with the installation groove 120, and the clamping block 122 is clamped with the clamping groove 123.

[0025] The decompression cavity 124 is seted up in valve housing 113, and valve element 111 is arranged in decompression cavity 124, and the through port 125 is seted up in valve housing 113, and the through port 125 is seted up as the inclined port, and the through port 125 is communicated with decompression cavity 124.The sliding slot 130 is seted up in decompression cavity 124, and the sliding slot 130 is communicated with decompression cavity 124, and the sliding strip 131 corresponding with the sliding slot 130 is installed outside valve element 111, and the sliding strip 131 is slidably inserted in the sliding slot 130.

[0026] The pressure reducing valve is in the closed or initial state, and valve element 111 is kept in a certain position under the action of wave spring 116, at this time, the flow area between gas inlet 114, internal passage 118 and gas outlet 115 is in the minimum or closed state.

[0027] When high-pressure gas enters valve housing 113 through gas inlet 114, it will first pass through filter screen 117 to remove possible impurities or particulate matter, ensuring the purity of the gas. The high-pressure gas contacts the sensitive element 119 at the end of the valve element 111. Because the high-pressure side of the sensitive element 119 has a smaller force area than the low-pressure side, it will generate a force in the direction of movement of the valve element 111. As the high-pressure gas continues to enter, the pressure difference on the sensitive element 119 gradually increases. When this force exceeds the pre-set spring force of the wave spring 116, the valve element 111 will begin to move. The movement of the valve element 111 changes the flow area between the gas inlet 114, the internal passage 118, and the gas outlet 115, allowing a portion of the high-pressure gas to pass through the pressure reducing valve.

[0028] In this process, through the force balance of the sensitive element 119, the pressure reducing valve can accurately control the outlet gas pressure, and ensure it to be stable at the set value. With the flow of outlet gas, if the inlet pressure changes, the sensitive element 119 will immediately sense the change and quickly adjust the flow area through the movement of the valve core 111.

[0029] This dynamic adjustment process can ensure that the pressure reducing valve can output low-pressure gas with a set pressure stably under various inlet pressure conditions. Through the structures such as the mounting groove 120, the mounting block 121, the clamping block 122, and the clamping groove 123, the stable connection between the valve seat 110 and the plug cover 112 is ensured, preventing leakage or displacement under high pressure. At the same time, the design of the sliding groove 130 and the sliding bar 131 makes the valve core 111 stable during movement, further enhancing the reliability and safety of the pressure reducing valve.

[0030] In this scheme, the sensitive element 119 specifically refers to an element that can respond to pressure changes, usually in the form of a diaphragm or a piston. The main function of this sensitive element 119 is to sense changes in inlet pressure and convert them into mechanical displacement, thereby controlling the movement of the valve core 111.

[0031] In this embodiment: through the compact arrangement of the valve seat 110, the valve core 111, and the sensitive element 119, the overall structure is more compact, eliminating the complex combination of pilot valve and main valve in traditional pilot pressure reducing valves, reducing the number of components and connection points, thereby reducing complexity and potential failure points, through the structures such as the mounting groove 120, the mounting block 121, the clamping block 122, and the clamping groove 123, the stable connection between the valve seat 110 and the plug cover 112 is ensured, preventing leakage or displacement under high pressure, the role of the wave spring 116 is to balance the inlet pressure, ensuring that the valve core 111 can work stably under high pressure conditions, so that it can withstand larger pressure changes while maintaining smaller volume and weight.

[0032] Embodiment two, this embodiment aims to promote the solution to the problem that the performance of the valve shell 113 and the valve core 111 may be unstable under high temperature and corrosive environment, this embodiment is an improvement based on embodiment one, for details, please refer to Figures 1-4The wave spring 116 is sleeved on the end of the valve core 111, one end of the wave spring 116 is in contact with the valve core 111, and the other end of the wave spring 116 is in contact with the inner wall of the valve shell 113. The valve shell 113 is provided as a high-temperature-resistant aluminum alloy shell, and the valve core 111 is provided as a ceramic core. The sealing ring 132 is mounted outside the plug 112, and the sealing ring 132 is provided as a rubber ring. The rubber ring has good sealing performance, can effectively prevent high-pressure gas leakage, and improves the overall sealing performance of the pressure reducing valve. The sealing strip 133 is mounted on the side of the valve core 111 close to the through hole 125, and the sealing strip 133 is provided as a rubber strip, so that the sealing effect between the valve core 111 and the valve shell 113 is enhanced, and gas leakage is prevented. The rubber strip has good elasticity and wear resistance, can maintain stable sealing effect under high pressure and frequent movement, and improves the reliability of the pressure reducing valve.

[0033] In the embodiment: the valve shell 113 is provided as a high-temperature-resistant aluminum alloy shell, which can maintain stable performance in a high-temperature environment and prevent deformation or damage caused by high temperature, and the valve core 111 is provided as a ceramic core, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the ceramic material is low, which can maintain stable size and performance in a wide temperature range and reduce the influence of thermal expansion caused by temperature change.
