Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cryogenic medium transportation technology, specifically a gas-liquid two-phase medium exhaust valve. Background Technology

[0002] In cryogenic pipeline systems, the balance and regulation of the gas-liquid two-phase media are crucial for ensuring stable system operation. Due to the significant differences in flow characteristics between gas and liquid in the pipeline, the simultaneous presence of both often leads to gas accumulation and pressure instability, thus affecting the system's normal operation. Traditional gas-liquid separation and venting devices mostly employ simple gravity separation or mechanical valve structures. These devices often suffer from poor sealing, slow response, and high maintenance costs when dealing with complex gas-liquid two-phase media environments. Especially under cryogenic conditions, due to the thermal contraction of materials and the hardening of seals, traditional venting valves often fail to achieve effective sealing, resulting in gas leakage and media waste.

[0003] Therefore, a gas-liquid two-phase medium exhaust valve is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[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] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a gas-liquid two-phase medium exhaust valve, including a valve body 1 with an opening at the top, and a valve cover 2 corresponding to the opening at the top of the valve body 1. The valve cover 2 is characterized by: an exhaust pipe 3 fixedly connected to one side of its upper surface; a second moving rod 11 rotatably connected inside the exhaust pipe 3; a sealing element 12 on the surface of the second moving rod 11; a disc spring 14 mounted on the upper side of the sealing element 12; a first moving rod 8 slidably connected inside the valve body 1; a float 9 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first moving rod 8; and a connecting rod 10 hinged to the bottom surface of the valve cover 2 via a hinge rod. Both the second moving rod 11 and the first moving rod 8 are connected to the connecting rod 10. 0. When there is air inside the valve body 1, the gas accumulates at the top of the valve body 1, causing the liquid level inside the valve body 1 to drop. The float 9 will move down synchronously with the liquid level and drive the second moving rod 11 to move up through the protrusion 15 and the connecting rod 10, pushing the seal 12 to open, so that the air inside the valve body 1 can be discharged through the vent pipe 3. After the gas is discharged, the water level rises, and the float 9 will also move with the liquid level, so that the vent pipe 3 will automatically close. It is connected to the seal 12 through the disc spring 14. The disc spring 14 can provide continuous preload force and can automatically compensate for the gap caused by the size change when the material is cold and shrinking, ensuring a tight fit of the sealing surface.

[0022] Both the second moving rod 11 and the first moving rod 8 have protrusions 15 fixedly connected to their sides, and the connecting rod 10 has a connecting groove on the side of the connecting rod 10 near the two sets of protrusions 15, and the protrusions 15 slide in the connecting grooves accordingly.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a spring 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the first moving rod 8, and an installation tube 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the valve cover 2 near the spring 7. The first moving rod 8 is slidably disposed inside the installation tube 4, and a tube cap 5 is screwed to the top of the installation tube 4. Several sets of fastening bolts 6 arranged in a ring array are installed on the surface of the valve cover 2, and the valve cover 2 is installed at the top opening of the valve body 1 by fastening bolts 6. The valve cover 2 can be removed by disassembling the fastening bolts 6, and the installation tube 4 can be opened by removing the tube cap 5, which facilitates the inspection or replacement of the components on the valve cover 2.

[0024] An auxiliary sealing gasket 13 is provided on the lower side of the sealing element 12. The outer wall surface of the second moving rod 11 is provided with a groove that matches the auxiliary sealing gasket 13. The auxiliary sealing gasket 13 is installed on the outer surface of the second moving rod 11 through this groove. When the second moving rod 11 drives the sealing element 12 to seal, the second moving rod 11 will synchronously drive the auxiliary sealing gasket 13 to move. The auxiliary sealing gasket 13 can assist in sealing and further increase the sealing performance of the device.

[0025] The sealing element 12 includes an inner sealing block 121 with a cylindrical structure that is fixedly connected to the circumference of the second moving rod 11. The inner sealing block 121 has a T-shaped cross-section. An outer sealing block 122 and a disc spring 14 are sequentially fitted onto the outer wall of the inner sealing block 121 from top to bottom. A limit block 123 is provided on the upper side of the outer sealing block 122. The inner wall of the limit block 123 has an internal thread, and the outer wall of the second moving rod 11 has an external thread. The limit block 123 is installed on the outer surface of the second moving rod 11 through this thread. Both the upper sides of block 122 and auxiliary sealing gasket 13 are conical structures, and the vent pipe 3 has a matching sealing groove inside. When the low-temperature material shrinks, the disc spring 14 will push the outer sealing block 122 to move, and then the outer sealing block 122 will slide on the surface of the inner sealing block 121. The sealing effect of the sealing element 12 is ensured by the inner sealing block 121 and the outer sealing block 122. The movement of the outer sealing block 122 can be limited by the limiting block 123 to prevent the outer sealing block 122 from separating from the inner sealing block 121.

[0026] Working principle and process: When there is air inside the valve body 1, the gas accumulates in the upper part of the valve body 1, causing the liquid level inside the valve body 1 to drop. The float 9 will move down synchronously with the liquid level and drive the second moving rod 11 to move up through the protrusion 15 and the connecting rod 10, pushing the seal 12 to open, so that the air inside the valve body 1 can be discharged through the vent pipe 3. After the gas is discharged, the water level rises, and the float 9 will also move with the liquid level, pushing the first moving rod 8 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 7 and drive the connecting rod 10 to flip. The second moving rod 11 pulls the disc spring 14 to fit against the inner wall of the vent pipe 3, so that the vent pipe 3 is automatically closed. At the same time, the second moving rod 11 will drive the auxiliary sealing gasket 13 to assist in sealing the vent pipe 3, further increasing the sealing performance of the device. The disc spring 14 is connected to the seal 12. The disc spring 14 can provide continuous pre-tightening force. When the material shrinks at low temperature, it can automatically compensate for the gap caused by the size change, ensuring a tight fit of the sealing surface.
