Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline fittings technology, specifically to an anti-cavitation pressure reducing valve. Background Technology
[0002] A pressure reducing valve is a valve that reduces the inlet pressure to a desired outlet pressure by adjusting the pressure, and automatically maintains a stable outlet pressure by relying on the energy of the medium itself. From a fluid mechanics perspective, a pressure reducing valve is a throttling element with variable local resistance. That is, by changing the throttling area, the flow velocity and kinetic energy of the fluid are altered, resulting in different pressure losses, thereby achieving the purpose of pressure reduction. However, in the process of using existing pressure reducing valves, when the outlet pressure ratio to inlet pressure ratio exceeds 1:3, cavitation is easily generated, which will cause wear on the valve seat, valve body, valve stem, valve disc, etc. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-cavitation pressure reducing valve, comprising a valve body, a valve stem, an O-ring, a sealing ring, a valve disc, a spring, a diaphragm, a valve cover, and an exhaust valve. The valve body is provided with a valve seat, the valve seat contains a valve stem, the valve seat is provided with a sealing ring, the sealing ring is provided with a valve disc, the valve disc is provided with a diaphragm pressure plate, a diaphragm is provided between the valve disc and the diaphragm pressure plate, the valve stem is provided with a spring, an exhaust valve is provided at the top of the valve stem, the valve body is provided with a valve cover, and nuts and bolts are provided on both the left and right sides of the valve cover.

[0012] This anti-cavitation pressure reducing valve includes a valve body, valve stem, O-ring, sealing ring, valve disc, spring, diaphragm, valve cover, and vent valve. The valve body has a valve seat, the valve stem is located within the valve seat, the sealing ring is on the valve seat, the valve disc is on the sealing ring, the diaphragm pressure plate is on the valve disc, and a diaphragm is positioned between the valve disc and the diaphragm pressure plate. The valve stem has a spring, and a vent valve is located at the top of the valve stem. The valve body has a valve cover. The valve disc of the valve seat adopts a cage-like design.
