Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shut-off valve technology, specifically a shut-off valve for a refrigeration system. Background Technology
[0002] In refrigeration systems, various valves are typically used to control the refrigerant. For example, in air conditioning systems, shut-off valves are used to connect the outdoor and indoor units. A shut-off valve is a manually operable valve that disconnects the refrigerant and other fluid passages before installation and reconnects them during installation.
[0003] In the existing technology, the shut-off valves used in refrigeration systems are difficult to maintain during use. However, due to different environmental factors, the shut-off valve connection is often a flange connection or a threaded connection. However, this method may lead to leakage later.
[0004] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (publication number: CN107366750A) disclosing a shut-off valve for a refrigeration system. This invention provides a shut-off valve for a refrigeration system that achieves reliable valve stem positioning through the cooperation of the valve stem and valve body, eliminating the need for auxiliary components such as retaining rings. This avoids safety hazards caused by the installation of auxiliary components and improves operational safety. The shut-off valve provided by this invention includes a valve body with a valve port and a valve stem for opening and closing the valve port. The valve body has a first positioning part, and the valve stem has a second positioning part. When the valve port is fully open, the first positioning part cooperates with the second positioning part to position the valve stem. In this invention, the valve body and valve stem have mutually cooperating positioning parts, allowing the valve stem to be positioned by the valve body after installation, eliminating the need for auxiliary components such as retaining rings. This prevents unreliable valve stem positioning due to missing, improperly installed, or incorrectly installed auxiliary components, thus avoiding safety accidents such as valve stem ejection. This increases the operational safety and reliability of the shut-off valve. However, the following drawbacks still exist:
[0005] While the aforementioned gate valve for refrigeration systems features a mutually cooperating positioning part between the valve body and valve stem, allowing the valve stem to be positioned by the valve body after installation without the need for auxiliary parts such as retaining rings, it also prevents unreliable valve stem positioning due to the omission, improper installation, or incorrect installation of auxiliary parts, thus avoiding safety accidents such as valve stem flying out and increasing the safety and reliability of the gate valve. However, existing gate valves for refrigeration systems are difficult to maintain during use. Due to varying environmental factors, gate valve connections are often flanged or threaded, which may lead to leakage later on. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Example
[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a shut-off valve for a refrigeration system, including a shut-off valve body 1. One end of the shut-off valve body 1 is integrally formed with a first channel 2, and the top end of the shut-off valve body 1 is integrally formed with a second channel 3. Below the second channel 3, there is an integrally formed connecting port 5 that communicates with the bottom end of the shut-off valve body 1. The inner side wall of the connecting port 5 is threaded with a dustproof sealing block 6 for dust protection. One end of the connecting port 4 is internally threaded with a valve stem 7 for opening and closing.
[0026] The first channel 2 and the second channel 3 are connected to the corresponding ports, and the valve stem 7 is connected to the internal thread of one end of the connection port 4 so that the valve stem 7 can achieve the shut-off function. At the same time, when the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 are not in use, the dustproof sealing block 6 can be installed to extend into the interior of the shut-off valve body 1 of the refrigeration system for dust protection.
[0027] The inner sidewall of the connection port 4 is symmetrically provided with snap-fit grooves, and each snap-fit groove is inlaid with a magnetic absorbing piece. One end of the magnetic absorbing piece is magnetically attracted to one end of the snap-fit block 9 which is snapped into the snap-fit groove. The other end of the snap-fit block 9 is fixedly connected to the limit block 8, and the end of the limit block 8 near the snap-fit block 9 abuts against the outer sidewall of the valve stem 7.
[0028] With the setting of the limiting block 8, when the valve stem 7 is installed and limited, it can be engaged with the snap-fit block 9 to the inside of the snap-fit groove through the limiting block 8 and the snap-fit block 9 with the magnetic material structure through the magnetic attraction piece, thereby limiting the limiting block 8, so that the limiting block 8 limits the valve stem 7.
[0029] The outer walls of the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 are both fixedly connected with mounting rings 10, and the outer walls of both sides of the mounting rings 10 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks of an "L" shape. The other end of the connecting blocks is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting cavity 11. The interior of the mounting cavity 11 is symmetrically fixedly connected with flexible sheets 12, and the outer walls of the corresponding flexible sheets 12 are fixedly connected with first limiting protrusions 13 of a semi-cylindrical structure at equal intervals. The outer walls of the first limiting protrusions 13 abut against the outer walls of the second limiting protrusions 14 of a semi-cylindrical structure. The second limiting protrusions 14 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the movable blocks 15. The movable blocks 15 are fixedly connected with connecting rings 16, and the inner wall of the connecting rings 16 is fixedly connected with a sealing balloon 17 of an inflatable structure. The sealing balloon 17 is a circular structure, and the inner wall of the sealing balloon 17 is bonded and fixedly connected with a silicone sealing gasket 18.
[0030] After the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 are connected to the required pipe, port or pipeline, the connecting ring 16 can move to make the sealing balloon 17 and the silicone sealing gasket 18 abut against the connection between the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 and the required pipe, port or pipeline, thereby performing auxiliary sealing and reducing leakage. At the same time, after the connecting ring 16 moves, the movable block 15 moves inside the mounting cavity 11, and the outer side wall of the first limiting protrusion 13 abuts against the outer side wall of the second limiting protrusion 14, thus limiting the movable block 15.
[0031] One end of each connecting ring 16 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 19 with a hollow structure by bolts, and one end of the mounting plate 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cover 20, while the other end of the connecting cover 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the elastic band 21.
[0032] When the sealing balloon 17 and the silicone sealing gasket 18 both abut against the connection point between the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 and the pipe, port or pipeline to be connected, they are connected to the outer wall of the connection point between the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 and the pipe, port or pipeline to be connected by the elastic band 21. This effectively reduces the instability caused by dust and humid air.
[0033] The specific usage process in this embodiment is as follows:
[0034] First, the refrigeration system shut-off valve body 1 is fixed and limited by bolts and other components. The first channel 2 and the second channel 3 are connected to the corresponding ports. The valve stem 7 is connected to the internal thread of one end of the connection port 4 so that the valve stem 7 can achieve the shut-off function. At the same time, when the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 are not in use, a dustproof sealing block 6 can be installed to extend into the interior of the refrigeration system shut-off valve body 1 for dust protection.
[0035] Secondly, after the valve stem 7 is installed and limited, it can be engaged with the locking block 9 by the limiting block 8 and the locking block 9, which is made of magnetic material, and then the limiting block 8 is limited, thereby limiting the valve stem 7 by the limiting block 8.
[0036] Afterwards, when the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 are connected to the required pipe, port or pipeline, the connecting ring 16 can be moved to make the sealing balloon 17 and the silicone sealing gasket 18 both abut against the connection between the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 and the required pipe, port or pipeline, thereby performing auxiliary sealing and reducing leakage.
[0037] Finally, after the sealing bulb 17 and the silicone sealing gasket 18 both abut against the connection point between the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 and the pipe, port or pipe to be connected, they are connected to the outer wall of the connection point between the first channel 2 and the second channel 3 and the pipe, port or pipe to be connected through the elastic band 21. This effectively reduces the instability caused by dust and humid air in the connection cover 20. Thus, the use of a shut-off valve for a refrigeration system is completed.
