High-pressure hydrogenation devices involve high-temperature, high-pressure working conditions, complex and diverse media, and have characteristics such as erosion, hydrogen corrosion, and medium (such as residual oil) viscosity and easy coking. The existing axial flow check valve for high-pressure hydrogenation device is provided with valve clack, valve shaft, flow guide, inlet pipe, valve chamber, outlet pipe and other components, and the valve clack and valve shaft form a valve core. The flow guide is provided with a rear bushing, and the rear bushing is provided with a rear sliding bearing assembly. The part of the valve shaft located in the inner cavity of the valve chamber is supported by the rear sliding bearing assembly and can move axially. This axial flow check valve mainly has the following problems:
[0003] (1) The valve clack and valve shaft adopt a single support structure, and after long-term use, the valve clack return seat and valve core centering ability will decrease, thereby causing the sealing performance of the check valve to decrease.
[0004] (2) When the check valve is working normally, the valve clack is always open. The valve clack contacts the flow guide, and the inner cavity of the valve clack and the inner cavity of the flow guide form a closed area. The closed area forms a medium flow dead zone, and the medium is easy to coking in the gap between the valve shaft and the inner hole of the sliding bearing in the rear sliding bearing assembly, thereby causing the axial movement of the valve shaft to be blocked, and the axial flow check valve to be invalid.
[0005] (3) During the medium backflow and the closing process of the check valve, the back pressure of the backflow medium cannot act on the back of the valve clack quickly, thereby causing the valve clack to be unable to quickly return to the seat. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0008] The axial flow check valve further has the following features: the flow guide hole is a circular hole with a diameter of 10-50 mm, and there are 3-4 holes evenly distributed around the center line of the flow guide.
[0009] The axial flow check valve further has the following features: the end region of the front bushing close to the inlet of the axial flow check valve is connected with a flow straightener.
[0010] The axial flow check valve further has the following features: the outer surface of the main body of the flow straightener is a surface of revolution, and the diameter of the meridian circle on the surface of revolution gradually increases in the direction from the inlet to the outlet of the axial flow check valve.

[0012] (1) the part of the valve shaft in the valve chamber inner cavity is supported by the rear sliding bearing assembly, and the part of the valve shaft in the inlet pipe is supported by the front sliding bearing assembly. Since the valve clack and the valve shaft adopt a double-bearing structure, the valve clack reseating and valve core centering ability will not decrease after long-term use, and the sealing performance of the check valve will not decrease, so that the check valve can maintain excellent sealing performance.

[0023] Inlet pipe 15 is equipped with front bushing 4 and front supporting cylinder 3, and front sliding bearing assembly 17 is arranged in front bushing 4. Front supporting cylinder 3 is sleeved on front bushing 4 and is fixedly connected with inlet pipe 15 through component rib plate 19. Front supporting cylinder 3 and front bushing 4 are fixedly connected through interference fit and are equipped with anti-rotation screws. Valve shaft 1 extends into inlet pipe 15, and the part of valve shaft 1 located in inlet pipe 15 is supported by front sliding bearing assembly 17 and can move along the axial direction. Flow guide 8 is equipped with flow guide opening 18, and flow guide opening 18 communicates the inner cavity of valve chamber 12 with the inner cavity of flow guide 8. Figure 1 It can be seen that flow guide opening 18 is arranged on the plate of flow guide 8.
[0024] Flow guide opening 18 is generally a circular hole. The size of flow guide opening 18 is determined according to the diameter of the check valve, and there is a positive correlation relationship. For the check valve with a nominal diameter of DN50-350mm, the diameter of flow guide opening 18 is generally 10-50mm. The number of flow guide openings 18 is generally 3-4, which are uniformly distributed around the center line of flow guide 8.
[0025] Generally, the end region of front bushing 4 close to the inlet of the axial flow check valve is connected with a fairing 2. The outer surface of the main part of the fairing 2 is generally a rotary surface, and the diameter of the weft line circle on the rotary surface gradually increases in the direction from the inlet to the outlet of the axial flow check valve.
[0026] The front support cylinder 3, the front bushing 4 (excluding the end area near the inlet of the axial flow check valve), the rear bushing 7, the inlet pipe 15, the outlet pipe 16, and the support ring 21 all have annular cross-sectional shapes. The valve shaft 1, the rectifier 2, the front support cylinder 3, the front bushing 4, the rear sliding bearing assembly 5, the valve disc 6, the rear bushing 7, the guide fluid 8, the compression spring 9, the retaining ring 10, the anti-reverse gasket 11, the inlet pipe 15, the outlet pipe 16, the front sliding bearing assembly 17, and the support ring 21 are coaxially arranged.
