[0002] Valves play a crucial role in cutting off and throttling the medium in their respective pipelines. Gate valves, as key shut-off valves in pipeline systems, are widely used in industrial fluid control, their core function being to reliably cut off and precisely throttle the medium. However, existing gate valves suffer from complex structures, high production costs, and complicated assembly. For example, current products often employ multi-layer sealing components and linkage mechanisms, achieving sealing through independent valve seats, multi-stage guide sleeves, and auxiliary locking devices, resulting in an excessive number of internal components. This complex structure not only increases the difficulty of precision machining but also significantly raises the cost of valve body casting, especially in the manufacture of small-diameter valves where economic disadvantages are evident. Traditional valve assembly requires precise alignment of the valve stem, valve disc, and valve seat, relying on a stepped press-fitting of multiple sealing rings.

[0003] Therefore, a gate valve with a simple structure, low cost, and easy assembly is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The valve stem 20 can move closer to or further away from the first sealing element 40 so that the valve stem 20 can connect or disconnect the inlet 401 from the outlet 102.

[0039] The valve body 10 has a hollow structure, and the valve stem 20, connecting piece 30, and first sealing piece 40 are all located inside the valve body 10. The valve body 10 can be a cylindrical structure. The valve body 10 is a metal structure.

[0040] The valve stem 20 may be a stepped shaft structure. The valve stem 20 is a metal structure. Optionally, the axis of the valve stem 20 coincides with the axis of the valve body 10.

[0041] The connector 30 is connected to the valve body 10, and the connection can be either a fixed connection or a detachable connection. The fixed connection can be welded or bonded.

The valve stem 20 can be screwed into the internal thread of the connecting member 30 through the first external thread 201, allowing the valve stem 20 to move inside the valve body 10, enabling the valve stem 20 to move closer to or further away from the first sealing member 40, thus connecting or disconnecting the inlet 401 and the outlet 102. Therefore, this gate valve has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to assemble.

[0044] In some embodiments, the shut-off valve further includes a support member 50 disposed within the valve body 10 and between the first seal 40 and the connector 30. The valve body 10 is provided with a limiting portion 103. One end of the support member 50 abuts against the connector 30, and the other end of the support member 50 abuts against the limiting portion 103. The support member 50 is provided with a channel 501, which communicates with the inlet 401 and the outlet 102. By disposing the support member 50 inside the valve body 10 and between the first seal 40 and the connector 30, and providing a channel 501 on the support member 50, the valve stem 20 is moved close to the first seal 40 and sealed to it. The medium cannot enter the channel 501 on the support member 50 through the inlet 401 on the first seal 40, thus isolating the inlet 401 from the outlet 102, thereby achieving the shut-off valve cutting off the flow of the medium. As the valve stem 20 moves away from the first seal 40, it disengages from the first seal 40. The medium can then enter the channel 501 on the support 50 through the inlet 401 on the first seal 40, flow from the channel 501 on the support 50 into the housing, and then flow from the clearance hole on the housing to the outlet 102 on the valve body 10. By providing a limiting part 103 on the valve body 10, one end of the support 50 abuts against the connecting member 30, and the other end of the support 50 abuts against the limiting part 103, the support 50 is limited, preventing it from moving within the valve body 10.

[0045] The support member 50 can be made of metal.

[0046] In some embodiments, the support member 50 is sealed to the valve body 10. By providing a sealed connection between the support member 50 and the valve body 10, the medium is prevented from entering the valve body 10 from the inlet 401 of the first seal member 40 and then flowing out from other parts of the valve body 10.

[0047] In some embodiments, a sealing groove 502 is provided on the periphery of the end of the support member 50 away from the first seal member 40, and the second seal member 60 is disposed within the sealing groove 502. By providing a sealing groove 502 on the periphery of the end of the support member 50 away from the first seal member 40 and disposing the second seal member 60 within the sealing groove 502, a seal is achieved between the support member 50 and the valve body 10. This arrangement has a simple structure and good sealing effect.

[0048] Optionally, the second seal 60 is a rubber structure.

[0049] Optionally, the second seal 60 is an O-ring.

[0050] In some embodiments, the valve stem 20 is sealed to the support member 50. By providing a sealed connection between the valve stem 20 and the support member 50, the medium is prevented from entering the valve body 10 from the inlet 401 of the first seal member 40 and then flowing out through the mating gap between the valve stem 20 and the support member 50.

[0051] In some embodiments, a third sealing element 70 is provided between the valve stem 20 and the support member 50, and the third sealing element 70 surrounds the valve stem 20.
