[0031] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments described are only examples. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: It includes a valve body 1, a valve seat 2, a valve stem 12, and a bracket 21; the inlet and outlet of the valve body 1 are angled, and the valve seat 2 is installed with an internal thread at the inlet, and the valve seat 2 is provided with a welding bevel for sealing welding with the lower end of the valve body 1, and the sealing surface of the valve seat 2 is made of iron-based alloy; the upper mounting port of the valve body 1 is connected to the lower flange of the bracket 21 by bolt assembly 6; two screw holes are provided on the left side of the inner cavity of the valve body 1, and upper fixing pin 8 and lower fixing pin 5 are fixed respectively; at the bottom of the inner cavity of the valve body 1, on the inlet side, a small hole is provided, and a short pipe 3 (for discharging condensate) is connected in the small hole; the top port of the valve seat 2 is movably sealed with the valve disc 9, and the valve disc 9 is installed at the bottom end of the valve stem 12; the valve seat 2 is designed using the Raschel principle, the steam velocity at the outlet of the valve seat 2 reaches the speed of sound, the channel of the valve seat 2 is selected with the optimal line shape, and the discharge coefficient is large; it also includes:

[0033] The lower adjusting ring 4 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the valve seat 2. The top of the lower adjusting ring 4 and the lower plane of the hot valve disc 10 form an annular space. By adjusting this space, a suitable opening pressure can be obtained. Its function is to reduce forward leakage. Once the hot valve disc 10 is slightly opened, the valve disc 9 and the hot valve disc 10 will quickly rise to full opening due to the expansion of the steam action area. When the steam pressure decreases, the spring 26 has been additionally compressed, and the spring force increases. When the spring force is greater than the force exerted by the steam on the valve disc 9 and the hot valve disc, the valve disc 9 and the hot valve disc will quickly return to their seats. The lower adjusting ring 4 is connected to the valve seat 2 through an internal thread. The lower end of the lower adjusting ring 4 is machined with gear teeth to facilitate the adjustment of the upper and lower positions of the lower adjusting ring 4. After the position of the lower adjusting ring 4 is adjusted and fixed, it is fixed by the lower fixing pin 5.

[0034] A thermal valve disc 10 is threaded onto the valve disc 9, and the upper ends of the two are welded together. The lower sealing surface of the thermal valve disc 10 is provided with an elastic lip structure, which moves and seals against the upper port of the valve seat 2. The elastic lip structure ensures uniform temperature in the circumferential direction. When the steam pressure is close to the discharge pressure, the tip of the elastic lip structure contacts the valve seat 2, resulting in good sealing performance. In general, the valve disc of a safety valve causes a temperature difference when the valve is discharging and closing, generating thermal stress, which can easily lead to leakage. Even a small leakage can cause inconsistent temperature around the valve sealing surface, promoting the expansion of the leakage. The thermal valve disc 10 is made of a special alloy steel. This thermal valve disc 10 structure is used in high-temperature and high-pressure steam media, avoiding leakage caused by temperature differences, as is the case with integral sealing surface structures.

[0035] Valve guide 11 is sleeved on the outside of the hot valve disc 10, and a convex surface is provided in the middle of the valve guide 11. A nut 14 is pressed on the convex surface. The nut 14 is threaded to the upper end of the valve disc 9 and fixed by a countersunk screw 15.

[0036] A guide sleeve 13 is movably fitted outside the valve disc guide 11, and the upper end of the guide sleeve 13 is installed in the groove between the valve body 1 and the bracket 21; the upper end of the valve disc guide 11 is provided with a small hole; a back pressure adjusting component is placed in the recessed structure of the upper port of the guide sleeve 13; the valve stem 12 passes through the back pressure adjusting component and the bushing 22 in the upper flange of the bracket 21 in sequence, and then a spring 26 is fitted on it; the bushing 22 is fixed to the upper flange of the bracket 21 by screws 45; a limiting ring 20 is provided on the outer wall of the valve stem 12 at a position below the upper flange of the bracket 21, and the limiting ring 20 is movably in contact with the bushing 22; the... The valve stem 12 has a raised rib located above the flange on the bracket 21. A spherical washer 24 rests on the raised rib, and a lower spring seat 25 is fitted onto the spherical washer 24. The lower end of the spring 26 abuts against the lower spring seat 25, and the upper end of the spring 26 abuts against the upper spring seat 28, which is fitted onto the valve stem 12. A planar thrust ball bearing 29 is built into the groove at the upper end of the upper spring seat 28, and a retaining ring 30 is pressed around the upper end face of the planar thrust ball bearing 29. The lower end of the adjusting nut 31 is located on the upper end face of the planar thrust ball bearing 29, and the adjusting nut 31 is fitted onto the valve stem 12. It is connected to the spring cover 28 by external threads. The upper port of the valve stem 26 is connected and locked with the locking nut 32. The adjusting nut 31 is used to adjust the compression of the spring 26. After the adjusting nut 31 adjusts the compression of the spring 26, it is locked with the spring cover 23 by the locking nut 32. The spring cover 23 covers the outside of the spring 26, the lower spring seat 25 and the upper spring seat 28, and is fixed to the upper flange of the bracket 21 by bolt assembly 46. The outer wall of the upper spring seat 28 is provided with a guide post 43, which slides up and down in the guide groove on the outer wall of the spring cover 23. The upper end of the valve stem 12 passes through the adjusting nut 31 and is connected to the lifting nut 39 by the cotter pin 38. The top of the spring cover 23 is externally threaded with a top cover 36. One side wall of the top cover 36 is rotatably connected to a wrench 27 via a cotter pin 2 33. The other side wall of the top cover 36 is rotatably connected to a lever 35 via a cotter pin 40. The other end of the lever 35 passes through the lifting nut 39 and the top cover 36 and is in movable contact with the upper end of the wrench 27. A plug 37 is provided in the small hole at the top of the top cover 36. In case of emergency discharge, the wrench 27 can be manually operated to drive the lever 35, which in turn drives the lifting nut 39. The lifting nut 39 then drives the valve stem 12 to lift, thereby causing the valve disc 9 to pop up and discharge the medium.

[0037] The upper adjusting ring 7 is threadedly connected to the outside of the guide sleeve 13. The function of the upper adjusting ring 7 is to change the flow direction of the fluid discharged from the valve seat 2, thereby changing the force of the fluid on the valve disc 9. Specifically, when the upper adjusting ring 7 is in a higher position, the steam force is smaller, the stroke of the valve disc 9 is shorter, and the return to seat is faster; conversely, when the upper adjusting ring 7 is in a lower position, the stroke of the valve disc 9 is higher, and the return to seat is slower. The upper adjusting ring 7 is connected to the guide sleeve 13 through an internal thread. The lower end of the outer circle of the upper adjusting ring 7 is machined with gear teeth to facilitate the adjustment of the upper and lower positions of the upper adjusting ring 7. After the position of the upper adjusting ring 7 is fixed, it is fixed by the upper fixing pin 8.

[0038] The back pressure adjusting component includes:

[0039] Back pressure adjusting seat 16, the lower end of which rests in the sunken structure of the upper port of guide sleeve 13;

[0040] The back pressure adjusting sleeve 17 has its lower end connected to the valve stem 12 via an internal thread, and its upper end fixed to the valve stem 12 by a cotter pin 19; the back pressure adjusting sleeve 17 is movably inserted into the back pressure adjusting seat 16.

[0041] An exhaust pipe 18 is connected through to the back pressure regulating seat 16; a throttle valve is provided on the side wall of the back pressure regulating seat 16 opposite to the exhaust pipe 18; the throttle valve includes a throttle valve body 42 and a throttle valve stem 34; the throttle valve body 42 is mounted on the back pressure regulating seat 16 by screw 44; the throttle valve stem 34 is mounted on the throttle valve body 42 by nut 41; after the valve disc 9 and the hot valve disc 10 are opened, the discharged steam flows into the upper space of the valve disc 9 from the gap between the guide sleeve 13 and the valve disc guide 11 and the small hole on the valve disc guide 11, and is regulated by the back pressure. The tapered cross-sectional area between sleeve 17 and back pressure adjusting seat 16 adjusts the back pressure on the upper part of valve disc 9. When valve disc 9 is in the fully open position, the back pressure acting on the upper part of valve disc 9 is not large. When valve disc 9 begins to reseat, the back pressure causes valve disc 9 to close quickly. The throttle valve (throttle valve body 42, nut 2 41, throttle valve stem 34) is also used to adjust the back pressure on the upper part of valve disc 9. It serves as a supplement and fine adjustment to the back pressure adjusting sleeve 17. During normal operation, it is inconvenient to use the back pressure adjusting sleeve 17, so the throttle valve (throttle valve body 42, nut 2 41, throttle valve stem 34) can be used for fine adjustment.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model provides a safety valve for supercritical pressure, which ensures the safe operation of the equipment when the steam pressure of the boiler or pressure vessel exceeds the specified value. It has the characteristics of large discharge coefficient, accurate opening pressure, small opening and closing pressure difference, good sealing performance, and convenient adjustment.

[0043] For those skilled in the art, modifications can be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, and equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
