Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of joint structures, specifically a shut-off valve joint structure for an oil well tree. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component controlling fluid flow, the shut-off valve in the wellhead has a direct and significant impact on the management efficiency and safety level of oil extraction operations. Through precise opening and closing operations, the shut-off valve achieves reliable control of the oil well production channel, ensuring rapid isolation of wellbore pressure during maintenance, testing, or emergency response, preventing accidental leaks, and protecting personnel and equipment safety. The quality of its sealing performance directly affects the preservation of oil and gas resources and environmental protection, reducing economic losses and environmental pollution caused by leaks. In short, the shut-off valve is crucial for improving the overall economic efficiency of extraction operations and achieving a sustainable oil production model.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional gate valve joints generally consist of flanges, gaskets, bolts, and nuts. The flange is the main part of the joint, usually round or square, and plays a role in balancing the pipeline and transmitting pressure during pipeline connection. The gasket is installed between the flanges to seal and prevent pipeline leakage. The bolts and nuts are the components that fix the two flanges together, and can be selected according to the pipeline specifications and pressure to ensure a firm and sealed connection, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the joint.
[0004] However, when traditional gate valve connectors are used, their lack of a buffer structure means that when subjected to a large impact, the entire gate valve may shake, potentially damaging its internal structure. To address this issue, this invention proposes a gate valve connector structure for oil wellheads to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] The gate valve connector structure for oil wells proposed in this utility model allows the pipeline to be connected to the gate valve via a connecting pipe. When liquid enters the connector through the pipeline, it will enter the rubber tube through the delivery pipe. When the liquid enters the rubber tube, it will be buffered by the combined action of the connecting plate and the buffer spring. The two sets of connecting plates are located at both ends of the rubber tube. When the liquid generates a large impact, the buffer spring and the rubber tube will buffer the liquid inside, preventing the liquid's impact force from directly acting on the gate valve and causing damage to the gate valve. This avoids the situation where the gate valve is damaged when the impact force of the liquid inside the pipeline is large. Attached Figure Description

When the liquid enters the rubber tube 4, it will be buffered by the combined action of the connecting plate 3 and the buffer spring 6. The two sets of connecting plates 3 are located at both ends of the rubber tube 4. When the liquid generates a large impact, the buffer spring 6 and the rubber tube 4 will buffer the liquid inside, preventing the liquid's impact force from directly acting on the shut-off valve and causing damage to the shut-off valve. This achieves the shock absorption effect of the shut-off valve joint structure for the oil well tree.
[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to prevent the shut-off valve from being damaged when the liquid in the pipeline has a large impact force, a buffer spring 6 is provided.

[0027] To prevent damage to the shut-off valve caused by liquid impact, the rubber tube 4 has a certain degree of elasticity when the liquid passes through the joint, and a buffer spring 6 is installed between the connecting plates 3. The two sets of components work together to achieve the effect of buffering the liquid.
[0028] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to prevent the buffer spring 6 from deforming after working for a long time, a connecting plate 3 is provided. The connecting plate 3 is a circular plate structure. Multiple limiting holes 12 are opened on the surface of the connecting plate 3. Limiting rods 7 are provided in the limiting holes 12.

[0029] A nut 11 is screwed onto the outside of the connecting pipe 1. One end of the connecting pipe 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveying pipe 2. A fixing pipe 5 is provided at the other end of the conveying pipe 2.
[0030] To prevent deformation of the transmission spring 6 caused by misalignment of the two ends of the buffer spring due to deformation of the rubber tube 4, a limiting rod 7 is connected between the two sets of connecting plates 3. The limiting rod 7 ensures that the positions of the two sets of connecting plates 3 will not be misaligned.
[0031] In actual use, the pipe can be connected to the shut-off valve through the connecting pipe 1. When the liquid enters the joint through the pipe, it will enter the rubber tube 4 through the delivery pipe 2. When the liquid enters the rubber tube 4, it will be buffered by the combined action of the connecting plate 3 and the buffer spring 6. The two sets of connecting plates 3 are located at both ends of the rubber tube 4. When the liquid generates a large impact, the buffer spring 6 and the rubber tube 4 will buffer the liquid inside, preventing the liquid's impact force from directly acting on the shut-off valve and causing damage to the shut-off valve. This achieves the shock absorption effect of the shut-off valve joint structure for the oil well tree.
