[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 A leak-proof wellhead gate valve for oil exploration includes a gate valve 1, with an inlet 3 and an outlet 2 on both sides of the gate valve 1. A first connecting cylinder 4 is welded to the top of the gate valve 1, and a second connecting cylinder 11 is provided on the top of the first connecting cylinder 4. The first connecting cylinder 4 and the second connecting cylinder 11 are integrally formed. A rotating rod 9 is provided through the middle of the first connecting cylinder 4 and the second connecting cylinder 11. The rotating rod 9 extends into the interior of the first connecting cylinder 4. The bottom of the rotating rod 9 is connected to a valve stem 18 through a bushing. A gate plate 19 is welded to the bottom of the valve stem 18. A rotating disk 8 is provided on the top of the rotating rod 9. A connecting disk 5 is welded to the outer ring of the first connecting cylinder 4. A movable plate 6 is slidably provided on the connecting disk 5. An installation cylinder 13 is provided on the outer ring of the first connecting cylinder 4.
[0022] The superimposed structure of the first connecting cylinder 4 and the second connecting cylinder 11 forms a multi-layered sealing cavity, which provides stable support for the rotating rod 9 and reduces the risk of leakage through layered pressure buffering. The operator locks the rotating disk 8 by pushing the movable plate 6 to the connecting rod 12 on the rotating disk 8. The mounting cylinder 13 serves as an auxiliary sealing monitoring channel; its internal cavity can provide real-time feedback on the sealing status, facilitating early warning of potential leaks.
[0023] A sealing groove 15 is provided on the bottom inner side of the gate valve 1 corresponding to the gate plate 19, and a sealing ring 20 is wrapped around the outer ring of the gate plate 19.
[0024] The nested combination of the sealing groove 15 and the sealing ring 20 forms the first dynamic sealing defense line. The trapezoidal cross-section design of the sealing groove 15 guides the fluid pressure to act on the sidewall of the sealing ring 20, enhancing its fit with the groove wall. The sealing ring 20 is made of high-temperature resistant fluororubber, which compensates for gaps through elastic deformation when the gate 19 rises and falls, adapting to pipeline pressure fluctuations. When the valve is closed, the sealing ring 20 expands outward under hydraulic pressure, forming a double seal in both the radial and axial directions, effectively blocking the penetration of particulate oil and gas media.
[0025] Clamping blocks 7 are symmetrically installed on the top of the movable plate 6, and a connecting rod 12 is provided in the middle of the rotating disk 8. The connecting rod 12 is welded and fixed to the top of the rotating rod 9, and the clamping blocks 7 are set corresponding to the connecting rod 12.
[0026] The clamping block 7 and the connecting rod 12 work together to achieve a dual locking mechanism for the valve. During normal operation, the rotating disc 8 drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate via the connecting rod 12 to control the gate 19. When the valve needs to be maintained in its current state for an extended period, the sliding movable plate 6 causes the clamping block 7 to engage with the groove in the connecting rod 12, forming a mechanical interlock to prevent misoperation due to vibration or pressure impact. The contact surface of the clamping block 7 has a toothed structure, which increases friction to ensure a secure lock.
[0027] A connecting sleeve 10 is fitted on the rotating rod 9. The connecting sleeve 10 has a first threaded groove inside. The top outer ring of the second connecting cylinder 11 has a threaded ring 16. The connecting sleeve 10 and the second connecting cylinder 11 are threadedly connected. The inner wall of the second connecting cylinder 11 has a second threaded groove. A sleeve 17 is fitted on the rotating rod 9. The sleeve 17 has threads.
[0028] The threaded linkage system between the connecting sleeve 10 and the second connecting cylinder 11 enables stroke control of the rotating rod 9. The external thread of the sleeve 17 engages with the second thread groove on the inner wall of the second connecting cylinder 11 to form a self-locking structure, preventing the high-pressure fluid from pushing the rotating rod 9 to displacement in the opposite direction.
[0029] The mounting cylinder 13 is connected to the first connecting cylinder 4, and the bottom of the first connecting cylinder 4 is provided with a through hole that is compatible with the valve stem 18. The first connecting cylinder 4 is provided with a cavity 22, which is filled with sealing rubber. The mounting cylinder 13 is hollow inside, and a movable block 14 is movably provided on the surface of the mounting cylinder 13. The surface of the movable block 14 is coated with eye-catching pigment.
[0030] Specifically, a portion of the movable block 14 extends into the interior of the mounting cylinder 13, where a spring is installed. The spring is fixedly connected to the movable block 14. A piston is installed inside the mounting cylinder 13, with one end fixedly connected to the spring and the other end extending into the interior of the first connecting cylinder 4. The movable block 14 of the mounting cylinder 13 serves as a leakage indicator, with its interior connected to the sealing cavity via a spring. In the event of a leak, pressure changes will push the movable block 14 outward, revealing a conspicuous mark and providing a visual warning.
[0031] The bottom of the first connecting cylinder 4 is provided with an inner ring 21, which is fixedly threaded to the gate valve 1 through the inner ring 21, and the connection is wrapped with a sealing sleeve.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] When this gate valve 1 is in use, the operator rotates the rotating disc 8, which drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate through the connecting rod 12. The valve stem 18 rises vertically under the action of the thread, the gate plate 19 disengages from the sealing groove 15, and the fluid flows from the inlet 3 to the outlet 2, thus opening the gate valve 1.
[0034] When it is necessary to close the gate valve 1, the rotating disk 8 is rotated in the opposite direction, the valve stem 18 pushes the gate plate 19 to move down, the sealing ring 20 expands under pressure, fills the trapezoidal space of the sealing groove 15, and forms a double seal in the radial and axial directions.
[0035] By pushing the movable plate 6, the clamping block 7 is inserted into the groove of the connecting rod 12, locking the rotating disk 8 to prevent malfunctions caused by vibration, thus limiting the connecting rod 12 and further ensuring that the rotating disk 8 and the rotating rod 9 will not be deflected by force.
[0036] The sealing layer inside the first connecting cylinder 4 seals the valve stem 18 and the gate valve 1. When leakage occurs, the sealing layer squeezes the piston, and the piston is forced to push the movable block 14 outward, revealing a mark painted with a conspicuous color, which is easy for inspectors to find and for inspection.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "vertical," "upper," "lower," "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
