Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of security equipment technology, and in particular to a fire prevention and damage control safety valve. Background Technology

[0002] In the use of gas or natural gas pipelines, there are frequent reports of leaks leading to fires. A large part of these accidents are caused by the failure to promptly and effectively shut off the gas pipeline near the fire source when a gas leak causes a fire, leading to the fire spreading and eventually causing a large-scale fire or even an explosion. Currently, in households, if a gas stove catches fire, people on site usually risk their lives to shut off the valve to control the fire, rather than shutting off the pipeline themselves. Of course, there are now some relatively intelligent devices to control the pipeline, but their application costs are too high and not conducive to widespread use in ordinary households. Therefore, it is still necessary to design a relatively low-cost and highly practical safety valve. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fire prevention and damage control safety valve to address the above-mentioned situation. This safety valve, through a completely new structural design, can achieve a more efficient fire prevention effect.

An elastic sealing mechanism is provided within the intermediate valve body, comprising a spring sleeve, a compression spring, a sealing core, a support rod, a mercury glass tube, and a top support mechanism. The spring sleeve is perpendicular to the connecting channel, with one end of the spring sleeve sealing the other end of the intermediate valve. The inner cavity of the body is connected, and the compression spring is fixedly installed inside the spring sleeve. The movable end of the compression spring is connected to the sealing core and the compression spring is always in a compressed state. The sealing core slides along the inner side wall of the spring sleeve. The front end of the sealing core is connected to the support rod. The top support mechanism is set on the outer side wall of the intermediate valve body and is arranged opposite to the spring sleeve. The mercury glass tube is placed on the top support mechanism and is located outside the intermediate valve body.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] See Figures 1-2This utility model is a fire prevention and damage control safety valve, comprising an intermediate valve body 3, the interior of which is hollow. An inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 10 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the intermediate valve body, forming a connecting channel 18 through the cavity within the intermediate valve body. Furthermore, both the inlet and outlet pipes are circular pipes, and their outer walls are provided with connecting external threads 1. An elastic sealing mechanism is provided within the intermediate valve body, comprising a spring sleeve 4, a compression spring 7, a sealing core 5, a support rod 17, a mercury glass tube 15, and a top support mechanism. Further, both ends of the mercury glass tube are provided with connecting... The connecting plate 14, the spring sleeve and the communicating channel are arranged perpendicularly to each other, one end of the spring sleeve is sealed and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the intermediate valve body, the compression spring is fixedly installed in the spring sleeve, the movable end of the compression spring is connected to the sealing core and the compression spring is always in a compressed state, the sealing core slides along the inner side wall of the spring sleeve, the front end of the sealing core is connected to the support rod, the top support mechanism is arranged on the outer side wall of the intermediate valve body and is arranged opposite to the spring sleeve, the mercury glass tube is placed on the top support mechanism and placed outside the intermediate valve body, the support rod passes through the communicating channel and the side wall of the intermediate valve body and is supported and connected to the end of the mercury glass tube.

[0023] Furthermore, the top support mechanism described in this utility model includes several top support rods 11 and a mounting plate 12. One end of the top support rod is fixed to the mounting plate, and the other end of the top support rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the intermediate valve body. A top support bolt 13 is threadedly connected at the middle position of the mounting plate. The front end of the top support bolt rests on one end of the mercury glass tube, and the other end of the mercury glass tube is connected to the end of the support rod.

[0024] Furthermore, in this utility model, a sealing ring 13 is provided on the outer wall where the support rod protrudes from the middle valve body. This sealing ring is an elastic rubber ring.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a sealing sliding ring 9 is provided on the inner wall of the spring sleeve. This sealing sliding ring limits the position of the sealing core and slides in a sealing connection with the outer wall of the sealing core. Furthermore, in this utility model, the spring sleeve 4, the sealing core, and the intermediate valve body are all rectangular parallelepipeds. When the sealing core is in a sealing state, the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the sealing core is sealed and fitted to the inner wall of the intermediate valve body. A spring limiting groove 6 is provided on the top surface of the sealing core, and one end of the compression spring is placed in the spring limiting groove. A sealing gasket 8 is provided on the bottom surface of the sealing core.

[0026] In practical use, this invention is typically installed on a pipe relatively close to the heat source. The external threads at both ends of the inlet and outlet pipes can be easily connected to the gas pipeline, while the mercury glass tube is placed in the air outside the pipeline. By rotating the top support bolt, the distance of the mercury glass tube is adjusted, which in turn drives the support rod to support the sealing core upward. At this time, the connection channel is unobstructed, and the gas can flow normally.

[0027] If a sudden fire occurs near the stove, the temperature of the surrounding air will rise rapidly. The mercury in the mercury glass tube is highly sensitive to temperature (mercury glass tubes used for alarms are readily available on the market, and they are not fully filled with mercury). Once a fire occurs nearby, the mercury glass tube will quickly burst. At this point, the support rod, losing the support of the mercury glass tube, will rapidly, under the force of the compression spring, cause the sealing core to fall and block the passage of the intermediate valve body. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 As shown, the inlet and outlet pipes will be quickly cut off at this time, and the gas will no longer flow, thus playing a safety protection role.

[0028] The compression spring in this invention remains compressed throughout the entire process, thus ensuring that the sealing core has the sealing pressure when blocking the pipe.

[0029] In this invention, the vertical length of the sealing core is designed to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the tube, so that... Figure 3 As shown, when the sealing core is installed, it can slide down normally along the sealing sleeve without displacement or misalignment, ensuring the sealing effect.

[0030] In this invention, the top support rods are arranged at intervals, and the mercury glass tube is essentially exposed to the air. In the event of a fire, this ensures that the mercury glass tube is always in contact with the high-temperature area of ​​the outside environment, so that the mercury glass tube can function.

[0031] This invention utilizes a traditional mercury glass tube as a temperature-responding device, enabling the valve to respond rapidly and quickly cut off the gas supply, thus providing better safety protection. As a safety valve, when applied near areas of stoves prone to ignition, this invention can quickly shut off the gas supply and ensure safety.

[0032] This utility model adopts a structure that combines a compression spring, a mercury glass tube, a sealing core, and a support rod. It also uses a top support bolt to hold the mercury glass tube in place. The overall structure is compact, adjustable in tightness, and flexible in installation position. Its practical application effect is outstanding, and it can be widely promoted and used.
