[0026] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, and only schematically show the basic structure of the utility model, so they only show the structure related to the utility model, and the direction and reference (such as up, down, left, right, etc.) can only be used to help the description of the features in the drawings. Therefore, the following specific embodiments are not used in a restrictive sense, and the scope of the claimed subject matter is only defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
[0027] As shown in Figs. 1-3 A mosaic type soft sealing valve seat, comprising a hard seat 1, a soft seat 2 and an elastic sealing element 3;
[0028] The hard seat 1 is made of metal, preferably stainless steel, and has an embedding cavity 101 extending in the axial direction and a balance hole 102 extending in the radial direction and communicating with the embedding cavity 101 to balance the pressure inside and outside the embedding cavity 101. The embedding cavity 101 has an annular structure, one end of which is blocked, and the other end has an opening towards the valve core.
[0029] The soft seat 2 is embedded in the embedding cavity 101, and the sealing surface 203 of the soft seat 2 extends out of the embedding cavity 101 to form a soft seal with the valve core. When the valve is working, the valve core moves from the open position to the closed position, and the soft seat 2 provides a sealing contact surface. The seal between the valve core and the valve seat is achieved by the pre-tightening sealing force of the valve seat pressing the valve core. During the process of using the jig to press the soft seat 2 into the embedding cavity 101, gas can be discharged from the balance hole 102 to release the pressure and reduce the resistance of pressing in. When the medium passing through is gas during use, internal pressure will be generated during the repeated opening and closing of the valve core. The balance hole 102 can ensure that the pressure in the embedding cavity does not exceed the safety limit, and at the same time, the external air can enter to maintain the balance of the internal and external pressures.
[0030] The elastic sealing element 3 is located between the cavity bottom of the embedding cavity 101 and the soft seat 2, and has a self-sealing effect. The sealing performance is reliable, and at the same time, the elastic sealing element 3 automatically compensates for the sealing pre-tightening force of the soft seat 2 by utilizing its own elastic properties, so that the valve core and the valve seat sealing surface 203 are in close contact, thereby achieving good sealing performance.
[0031] During installation, the elastic sealing element 3 and the soft seat 2 are pressed into the embedding cavity 101 of the hard seat 1 in sequence. When the valve is closed, the initial sealing force is generated by the back pressure disc spring (spring) in the valve, and the auxiliary sealing force is generated by the fluid pressure difference. When the soft seat 2 contacts the valve core, the elastic sealing element 3 and the soft seat 2 together form a valve seat sealing structure. The elastic sealing element 3 has a self-sealing effect, and it can provide pre-tightening force for the soft seat 2 by utilizing its own elasticity. The soft seat 2 sealing surface 203 contacts the valve core to seal, and the balance hole 102 can release the pressure inside the embedding cavity 101 in time to avoid the soft seat 2 being pushed out of the embedding cavity 101 due to the action of the internal and external pressure difference, which can cause damage, thereby improving the sealing performance and service life of the soft seat 2.
[0032] In some examples, the soft seat 2 is inclined on one side to form a slope surface 201, that is, the soft seat 2 has a large end and a small end to form a conical structure, and the small end is close to the valve core. The hard seat 1 comprises a pressing edge 103 corresponding to the slope surface 201, which allows the soft seat 2 to enter the embedding cavity 101 and deform after entering to fit the slope surface 201 to limit the soft seat 2 in the embedding cavity 101; in the initial state, the pressing edge 103 is horizontal, that is, the embedding cavity 101 is an equal-diameter structure, and the soft seat 2 can enter the embedding cavity 101 from the opening thereof, and then the pressing edge 103 is processed to fit the slope surface 201 of the soft seat 2 by a tool, that is, the embedding cavity 101 is a closed structure at this time, which can limit the soft seat 2 in the embedding cavity 101 and improve the fixing effect of the soft seat 2.
[0033] In some examples, the slope surface 201 is gradually inclined inward along the direction close to the valve core on the outer peripheral wall of the soft seat 2, that is, the slope surface 201 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the soft seat 2. Correspondingly, the slope surface 201 can also be formed on the inner peripheral wall of the soft seat 2. Considering the processing difficulty and sealing effect, the slope surface 201 is preferably on the outer peripheral wall of the soft seat 2.
[0034] In some examples, the soft seat 2 further comprises an equal-diameter section 202 connected with the slope surface 201 and close to the elastic sealing element 3, and the equal-diameter section 202 is connected with the large end of the slope surface 201 to have sufficient thickness and structural strength. The hard seat 1 comprises a pressing section 104 connected with the pressing edge 103 and corresponding to the equal-diameter section 202, and the thickness of the pressing section 104 is greater than that of the pressing edge 103. The large-thickness pressing section 104 presses the large-thickness equal-diameter section 202 to improve the fixing effect of the soft seat 2.
[0035] In some examples, the embedding cavity 101 has an inner cavity wall and an outer cavity wall, and the outer cavity wall surrounds the outer side of the inner cavity wall. The balance hole 102 penetrates the outer cavity wall in the radial direction to communicate with the embedding cavity 101. Correspondingly, the balance hole 102 can also penetrate the inner cavity wall in the radial direction, but the processing difficulty is greater. Therefore, the balance hole 102 is preferably on the outer cavity wall.
[0036] In some examples, the elastic sealing element 3 is an O-shaped sealing ring, which has simple structure and light weight and has sealing effect in the axial and radial directions. Of course, it can also be an H-shaped sealing ring or other structures.
[0037] In some examples, the sealing surface 203 of the soft seat 2 is an arc surface, which can be smoothly transitioned relative to a plane, is not easy to be damaged, and has better sealing effect. Even if the valve seat or the valve core is slightly offset, the performance of the sealing surface 203 will not be affected.
[0038] In some examples, the balance holes 102 are arranged in multiple groups circumferentially along the hard seat 1, and the balance holes 102 in each group are also spaced circumferentially along the hard seat 1. The number of groups of the balance holes 102 is not limited in the embodiment, and can be three groups, four groups, etc. The number of the balance holes 102 in each group is also not limited, and can be four, five, or six, etc.
[0039] In some examples, the slope surface 201 has an inclination angle of 15-20°, which can ensure the area of the sealing surface 203 while clamping the soft seat 2, so as to improve the fixing effect of the soft seat 2 without affecting the sealing effect.
[0040] Working principle:
[0041] During installation, the elastic sealing member 3 and the soft seat 2 are pressed into the embedding cavity 101 of the hard seat 1 in sequence, then the pressing edge 103 is processed to be attached to the slope surface 201 of the soft seat 2 by a tool to limit the soft seat 2 in the hard seat 1, then when the soft seat 2 contacts the valve core, the elastic sealing member 3 and the soft seat 2 jointly form a valve seat sealing structure, the elastic sealing member 3 has a self-sealing effect, and can provide a pre-tightening force for the soft seat 2 by using its elasticity, the sealing surface 203 of the soft seat 2 contacts the valve core to seal, and the balance holes 102 can timely release the pressure in the embedding cavity 101, so as to avoid the soft seat 2 from being damaged due to being pushed out of the embedding cavity 101 by the effect of the internal and external pressure difference, and improve the sealing performance and service life of the soft seat 2.
[0042] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present application, the related personnel can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical idea of the present application. The technical scope of the present application is not limited by the content of the specification, and must be determined by the scope of the claims.
