[0003] At present, there is a lack of valve for this kind of special working condition in the market. The general valve has a short service life under this special working condition, and the main reason is that the medium of the pipeline may flow into the valve body during the opening and closing of the valve, and the high temperature and high hardness medium is easy to cause certain damage to the inner cavity parts of the valve. For example, in a high temperature environment, ordinary valve parts are easy to be corroded or deformed, and the scouring of high hardness medium can aggravate the wear of the parts, thereby affecting the normal use of the valve and greatly shortening the service life of the valve.

[0004] The spring structure used in the traditional valve is mainly a uniformly distributed cylindrical spiral compression spring. This spring structure has many drawbacks under special working conditions. On the one hand, its high temperature fatigue resistance is poor, and it is easy to be damaged by fatigue in a high temperature environment; on the other hand, it has insufficient wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and is difficult to resist the erosion of special medium. In addition, the traditional spring structure is not balanced when compressed, and is easy to be blocked and stuck, thereby affecting the sealing performance and overall working reliability of the valve.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a shear valve with a tubular spring sealing structure to solve the above technical problems. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0014] Compared with the related art, the shear valve with the tube spring sealing structure has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1.

[0016] 2. The shear valve with the tube spring sealing structure adopts the whole-circle spring structure, compared with the traditional uniformly-distributed cylindrical helical compression spring, the compression stress is more balanced, and is always in an effective state, and the spring is not prone to blockage and failure, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the spring during frequent opening and closing of the valve, and further ensuring that the valve can work normally and stably, and improving the overall working performance of the valve.

[0017] 3.

[0020] The utility model is further described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 A shear valve with the tubular spring sealing structure includes: valve body 1, the valve body 1 is equipped with the gate 6, the upper end of gate 6 is equipped with valve rod 9, the valve body 1 is equipped with two installation grooves, two installation grooves are all equipped with valve seat 2, the inner wall of two installation grooves is all equipped with annular groove, two annular grooves are all slidably connected with two sealing rings 4, multiple sealing rings 4 are all fixedly connected with valve seat 2, two annular grooves are all equipped with tubular spring one 5, two tubular spring one 5 are located between corresponding two sealing rings 4, two annular grooves are all equipped with two first graphite rings 3, and each first graphite ring 3 is located at the side, away from tubular spring one 5, of the corresponding sealing ring 4, the inner wall of valve seat 2 is equipped with embedding groove, the embedding groove is equipped with second graphite ring 8, and the inner wall of second graphite ring 8 is in interference fit with gate 6, the outer wall of valve seat 2 is equipped with connecting groove, the connecting groove is equipped with tubular spring two 7, and the outer side of two tubular spring two 7 is in contact with valve body 1.

[0022] Among them, tubular spring one 5 and tubular spring two 7 are made of Inconel600 high-temperature alloy, tubular spring one 5 and tubular spring two 7 are all whole circle springs, first graphite ring 3 and second graphite ring 8 are all high-purity expanded graphite rings, valve body 1 is made of high-temperature alloy material, the sealing surface of valve seat 2 is hardfaced with nickel-based alloy, and the sealing surface of gate 6 is hardfaced with hard alloy.

[0023] It should be noted that: Inconel600 high-temperature alloy is a nickel-chromium-iron-based solid solution strengthening alloy, which has excellent high-temperature corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, excellent cold and hot working and welding performance, satisfactory thermal strength and high plasticity below 700 DEG C, the alloy can be strengthened by cold working, and can be connected by resistance welding, fusion welding or brazing, suitable for making oxidation-resistant parts below 1100 DEG C under low load, the whole circle spring has the characteristics of high-temperature fatigue resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and balanced compression stress, and the spring is always in an effective state, and is not prone to spring jamming and failure.

[0024] The working principle of the shear valve with a tubular spring sealing structure provided by this utility model is as follows: During the valve opening process, the valve stem 9 drives the gate 6 to descend. At this time, the medium pressure in the pipeline flows from left to right within the valve body 1. The medium pressure acts on the gap between the valve body 1 and the valve seat 2, causing the valve seat 2 to press against the gate 6 under the medium pressure. Simultaneously, the tubular spring 5 pushes the sealing ring 4, further pushing the valve seat 2 to make a slight displacement towards the gate 6, ensuring that the sealing surfaces between the valve seat 2 and the gate 6 can better fit together.

[0025] The second spring 7 is always in a pre-tightened state. It continuously applies pressure to make the valve seat 2 and the gate 6 fit tightly together, enhance the sealing effect, and prevent the medium from leaking from the seal between the valve seat 2 and the gate 6 during the valve opening process.

[0026] During valve closure, the valve stem 9 is operated to lift the gate upwards. As the gate 6 rises, the sealing surface between the valve seat 2 and the gate 6 gradually separates. During this process, the second graphite ring 8 embedded in the valve seat 2 plays a role. On the one hand, the presence of the second graphite ring 8 maintains a full combination of soft and hard seals between the gate 6 and the valve seat 2, preventing media leakage to a certain extent even when the gate 6 rises and detaches from the valve seat. On the other hand, the second graphite ring 8 can scrape away impurities attached to the gate 6, preventing impurities from causing wear on the sealing surface or affecting the sealing effect when the valve is closed next time.

[0027] Throughout the valve's opening and closing process, the tube springs 5 ​​and 7, made of Inconel 600 high-temperature alloy, possess excellent resistance to high-temperature corrosion and oxidation, as well as good mechanical properties. This ensures stable operation of the springs under special conditions such as high-temperature and high-hardness media, continuously providing reliable pressure support for the sealing of valve seat 2 and gate 6, thus ensuring the valve's sealing performance and overall operational reliability. Simultaneously, the valve body 1 is made of high-temperature alloy material, and the sealing surfaces of valve seat 2 and gate 6 are respectively overlaid with nickel-based alloy and hard alloy. These material properties also enable the various components of the valve to better adapt to special operating conditions and withstand the erosion and corrosion of the media, thereby ensuring the normal operation and long service life of the valve.

Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
