[0035] Example 1
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a bidirectional pressure-bearing sealing structure for a high-pressure valve, including a valve body 1, a ball 2, a ball seat 3, a valve seat assembly 4, a pressure ring 9, and a compression spring 8;
[0037] The ball 2 has a barrel-shaped eccentric structure and is installed inside the valve body 1 by rotating the valve stem;
[0038] The ball seat 3 is a ring-shaped structure and is fixed on the ball 2;
[0039] The valve seat assembly 4 is disposed in the outlet side groove of the valve body 1 and is connected to the pressure ring 9 by a compression spring 8; the valve seat assembly 4 is positioned corresponding to the ball seat 3.
[0040] The pressure ring 9 is fixed to the outlet side of the valve body 1.
[0041] Specifically, the ball 2 has a barrel-shaped eccentric structure and is installed inside the valve body 1 by rotating the valve stem.
[0042] The ball seat 3 has an annular structure with a spherical sealing surface. It is fixed to the ball 2 with screws and forms a seal with the ball 2 by setting an O-ring.
[0043] The valve seat assembly 4 is located in the outlet side groove of the valve body 1 and is connected to the pressure ring 9 through the compression spring 8. The valve seat assembly 4 is positioned corresponding to the ball seat 3.
[0044] The pressure ring 9 is fixed to the outlet side of the valve body by means of screws 12.
[0045] The valve seat assembly 4 comprises a valve seat 401, a sealing ring 402, a sealing ring holder 403 and a valve seat support 404. The sealing ring holder 403 is fixedly connected to the valve seat 401. In this embodiment, the sealing ring holder 403 is fixedly connected to the valve seat 401 by means of screws 405. The valve seat 401 is fitted into the valve seat support 404 and can move axially. The valve seat support 404 is connected to the pressure ring 9 by means of a compression spring 8 and can move axially. The sealing ring 402 is fixed in the mating groove of the valve seat 401 and the sealing ring holder 403 and extends beyond the end face of the valve seat 401 and the sealing ring holder 403.
[0046] When the ball 2 is closed, the valve seat 401 and the sealing ring 402 abut against the ball seat 3.
[0047] The outlet side groove of the valve body 1 forms a first step 5 which mates with the sealing ring holder 403 and the valve seat 401 respectively.
[0048] When the ball 2 is in the closed position, the valve seat 401 leaves a gap 16 of 2-3 mm with the first step 5 in the outlet side groove of the valve body 1, and the valve seat support 404 leaves a gap 17 of 5-7 mm with the pressure ring 9. The ball seat 3 and the valve seat assembly 4 form a soft and hard double sealing structure. The cross section of the sealing ring 402 is triangular, and the material is high-hardness explosion-proof fluorine rubber with a hardness of HSA 95-98°. The valve seat 401 and the ball seat 3 are made of stainless steel and have hard alloy on the surface.
[0049] Working principle:
[0050] The ball seat 3 and the sealing ring 402 form the first sealing structure, which is a soft sealing structure. The compression spring 8 provides a pre-tightening force on the back of the valve seat assembly 4, providing the initial sealing specific pressure of the sealing ring 402 and the ball seat 3, thereby ensuring the low-pressure sealing performance. The ball seat 3 and the valve seat 401 form the second sealing structure, which is a hard sealing structure, capable of reducing the contact stress between the rubber sealing ring and the ball seat under high pressure, preventing the rubber sealing ring from being crushed or rapidly worn out due to excessive contact stress.
[0051] As shown in the figure, when the pressure is positive, the medium pressure enters the back of the valve seat 4. Because the area S2 on the front of the valve seat assembly 4 is smaller than the water pressure area S1 on the back, under the action of the pressure difference F=P*(S1-S2), the medium pressure forces the valve seat 401 to tightly press the sealing surface of the ball seat 3. The greater the water pressure, the better the high-pressure sealing performance. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, when the pressure is positive, the medium pressure enters the back of the valve seat 4. Because the area S2 on the front of the valve seat assembly 4 is smaller than the water pressure area S1 on the back, under the action of the pressure difference F=P*(S1-S2), the medium pressure forces the valve seat 401 to tightly press the sealing surface of the ball seat 3. The greater the water pressure, the better the high-pressure sealing performance.
[0052] Figure 3 As shown, when in reverse pressure, the medium pressure enters the back of the valve seat support 404, and the water pressure acting on the front of the valve seat assembly 4 has an area S4 smaller than the water pressure area S3 of the back of the valve seat support 404. Under the combined action of the pressure difference F=P*(S3-S4) and the compression spring 8, the valve seat 401 is pressed against the sealing surface of the ball seat 3. The greater the water pressure, the better the high-pressure sealing performance. Therefore, whether it is forward sealing or reverse sealing, good sealing effect can be achieved.
[0053] As a preferred embodiment, the present embodiment is applied in raw water conditions. If there is no anti-silt structure, the silt particles in the medium will deposit into the gap Ⅱ7 groove between the valve seat assembly 4 and the compression ring 8, hindering the normal activity of the valve seat assembly 4 and affecting the sealing reliability of the valve.
[0054] The present scheme is provided with a mudguard 10 inside the valve seat support 404. In the present embodiment, the mudguard 10 is made of a 1mm thick stainless steel plate rolled into a cylindrical shape and fixed inside the valve seat support 404 by a circle of argon arc welding 11 and spot welding, and extends to the inside of the compression ring 9. In this way, silt particles will not enter the gap Ⅱ7 groove, ensuring the normal operation of the valve seat assembly 4 and the sealing reliability of the valve.
[0055] The above describes the preferred embodiments of the present application in detail. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes to the present application without creative labor according to the concept of the present application. Therefore, any technical solution obtained by logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiment based on the existing technology according to the concept of the present application shall be within the protection scope defined by the claims.
