[0030] In the above device, the left end and the rear end of the valve body 1 are connected to the medium pipe of the nuclear power plant, the medium under normal pressure is relatively large, when the medium flows into the valve body 1, the medium will enter the valve body 1, at the same time, the medium will also flow into the hydraulic cavity 8, push the pull rod device 5 to move upward, when the pull rod device 5 moves upward, it will drive the valve assembly 7 to rotate upward on the pin shaft connected to the connecting block 2 on the left, so that the medium flows out from the left part of the valve body 1, when the medium flows back, the pressure of the flowing medium will become smaller, at this time, the piston effect formed by the hydraulic cavity 8 and the pull rod device 5 will make the pull rod device 5 slowly move downward, so that the pull rod device 5 pushes the valve assembly 7 to rotate downward and close, closes the flow of the medium through the valve body 1, and ensures the safety of the nuclear power plant.

[0031] The valve cover 4 is mainly used for preventing medium leakage and ensuring the sealing of the device.

[0032] Further, in order to realize the purpose of making the medium flow in the valve body 1 when the valve assembly 7 is rotated, referring to Figure 4 The valve assembly 7 comprises a rocker arm 76 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the pin shaft, a limiting rod 75 fixedly connected to the upper right side of the inner cavity of the rocker arm 76, a first threaded rod 73 slidably connected to the lower right end of the rocker arm 76, a nut 74 threadedly connected to the right outer surface of the first threaded rod 73, a valve flap 72 fixedly connected to the left end of the first threaded rod 73, and a sealing ring 71 fixedly connected to the outer ring of the left end of the valve flap 72.

[0033] Further, the sealing ring 71 is in close contact with the lower left side of the inner cavity of the valve body 1.

[0034] In the device, the rocker arm 76 is first installed on the pin shaft, then the valve flap 72 is put into the lower right end of the rocker arm 76 through the first threaded rod 73, and after being placed, the nut 74 is screwed onto the first threaded rod 73 to fix the valve flap 72 on the rocker arm 76, and finally the sealing ring 71 is fixed on the left end of the valve flap 72.

[0035] In the device, the limiting rod 75 is connected to the pull rod device 5, when the pull rod device 5 moves upward, it drives the limiting rod 75 to move upward, when the limiting rod 75 moves upward, it drives the rocker arm 76 to rotate upward around the pin shaft installed on the connecting block 2, when the rocker arm 76 rotates upward, it rotates the valve flap 72 to make the medium flow.

[0036] Further, in order to realize the purpose of making the medium flow into the hydraulic cavity 8 when the medium enters the valve body 1, pushing the pull rod device 5 to move upward, and making the pull rod device 5 pull the valve assembly 7 to rotate, referring to Figure 5 The pull rod device 5 comprises a guide sleeve 53 fixedly connected to the middle and lower side of the inner cavity of the hydraulic cavity 8, a hanger rod 52 slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 53, an arc-shaped block 51 fixedly connected to the lower end of the hanger rod 52, a spring 58 sleeved on the upper surface of the arc-shaped block 51, a second threaded rod 54 fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the hanger rod 52, a screw sleeve 55 threadedly connected to the outer surface of the second threaded rod 54, a hydraulic plug 56 slidably connected to the outer surface of the screw sleeve 55, and a through hole 59 formed in the middle left and right sides of the bottom wall of the hydraulic cavity 8.

[0037] Further, the hydraulic plug 56 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the hydraulic cavity 8.

[0038] Further, the limiting rod 75 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the arc-shaped block 51.

[0039] In the device, when the medium enters the inner cavity of the valve body 1, it will flow into the hydraulic cavity 8 through the through hole 59, and then the medium pushes the hydraulic plug 56 to move upward in the inner cavity of the hydraulic cavity 8. When the hydraulic plug 56 moves upward, it will pull the hanger rod 52 to move upward in the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 53. The hanger rod 52 will pull the limiting rod 75 to move through the arc block 51, so that the limiting rod 75 drives the valve flap 72 to rotate upward;

[0040] In the device, when the hydraulic plug 56 moves upward, it will pull the spring 58 to generate pressure. When the medium flows back, the hydraulic plug 56 slowly moves downward through the piston effect formed by the cooperation of the hydraulic cavity 8 and the hydraulic plug 56. The hydraulic plug 56 pushes the hanger rod 52 to move downward together, so that the hanger rod 52 pushes the valve assembly 7 to rotate downward through the arc block 51, closes the flow of the medium in the valve body 1, realizes passive closing, thereby effectively reducing the impact of water hammer phenomenon on the pipeline and equipment, reducing downtime and failure, and improving the reliability and safety of the nuclear power plant.

When the hydraulic plug 56 needs to be replaced, the knob sleeve 55 is rotated to move the sleeve 55 upward through the threaded connection between the sleeve 55 and the second threaded rod 54, so that the sleeve 55 is released from the fixing of the hydraulic plug 56 and the guide sleeve 53 through the sleeve 55. Then the hydraulic plug 56 is taken out, the diameter of the hydraulic plug 56 is replaced, the hydraulic plug 56 is installed on the second threaded rod 54 again, and the sleeve 55 is tightened.
