Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the chemical and pharmaceutical production field, as the core component of controlling material flow, the performance of the valve directly affects the production efficiency and product quality. Due to the structural design defects, the connecting pipeline between the traditional valve and the inner cavity of the reaction kettle is prone to form a material accumulation area. Specifically, when the valve is closed, the valve core and the valve seat can be tightly sealed, but the right angle or non-streamline transition structure in the pipeline or the joint with the valve causes material retention, especially when dealing with viscous, high-viscosity or easily solidified medium, the residual material is difficult to completely remove. Long-term accumulation of residual material can breed bacteria (pharmaceutical industry) or cause cross contamination (chemical industry), which requires frequent manual cleaning during shutdown, significantly reducing production efficiency. The structural dead angle at the pipeline connection aggravates the uneven force on the local sealing rubber ring, which can cause deformation or even damage of the rubber ring under high pressure or temperature fluctuation conditions, resulting in material leakage.

[0003] In the prior art, although the valve core shape is optimized (such as ball valve and butterfly valve) to reduce the internal dead angle of the valve, the residual problem at the connection between the valve and the external pipeline cannot be solved. Some schemes try to add a flushing port in the pipeline, but the structure is complex and increases the leakage point, and the actual effect is limited. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new valve design that can completely eliminate the residual dead angle in the connection area between the valve and the pipeline of the reaction kettle.

[0017] The utility model will be further explained in detail in connection with the drawings and specific implementation.

[0018] Example 1:

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a valve without dead angles includes a valve body 2. A groove 15 is formed at the proximal end of the valve body 2. The flow channel section of the groove 15 smoothly transitions with the inner cavity of the vessel body 14, avoiding material accumulation caused by a right-angle structure. A screw and nut assembly is rotatably provided axially within the inner cavity of the valve body 2. Specifically, the screw and nut assembly includes a screw 4 and a nut 3. The outer surface of the screw 4 has an external thread, and the inner surface of the nut 3 has an internal thread that matches the screw 4. The screw 4 and the nut 3 form a helical transmission pair through threaded engagement. The nut 3 is fixedly connected to the distal end of the valve core 10, allowing the valve core 10 to achieve axial translation through the threaded engagement of the nut 3 and the screw 4. The rear end of the screw and nut assembly extends out of the valve body 2 and is connected to a handwheel 7; the nut 3 drives the valve core 10 to move axially through the rotating screw 4, and the front end of the screw and nut assembly is connected to the valve core 10. The front end block of the valve core 10 matches the groove 15. When closed, the screw 4 is rotated by the handwheel 7 to make the front end block of the valve core 10 fit with the groove 15 without gap, completely blocking the material flow and squeezing out the excess material in the groove 15; the inner cavity of the valve body 2 is connected to the glue outlet 12, and the inner cavity of the valve body 2 is connected to the external pipeline through the glue outlet 12. There is no residue when closed, and the medium can be smoothly discharged along the channel when opened.

The oil seal 6 cooperates with the bearing 8 to support the rotation of the lead screw 4 and prevent leakage; a first rubber ring 9 seals the static joint between the flange seat 5 and the valve body 2. The first rubber ring 9 is arranged in a sealing groove between the contact surface of the flange seat 5 and the valve body 2. The sealing groove is designed as an annular groove for fixing the rubber ring and ensuring uniform pressure. A second rubber ring 11 is arranged between the circumferential side wall of the valve core 10 and the inner wall of the valve body 2. An annular groove is formed in the circumferential side wall of the valve core 10, and the second rubber ring 11 is embedded in the groove. When the valve core 10 moves axially, the rubber ring moves with the valve core and is in elastic contact with the inner wall of the valve body 2; the second rubber ring 11 prevents the medium from leaking from the lateral gap between the valve core and the valve body and is suitable for sealing in dynamic displacement; a third rubber ring 13 is arranged between the front end of the valve core 10 and the contact surface of the valve body 2.
