[0027] Example 1
[0028] A cryogenic gate valve with a movable sealing surface, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the device includes a valve body 1, which includes a flow pipe and an installation pipe. A flange on the top outer wall of the installation pipe is connected to a closed housing 2. The closed housing 2 and the inner wall of the installation pipe have the same placement cavity 13. A plug 7 and a valve plate 6 are slidably fitted on the inner wall of the placement cavity 13. The valve plate 6 is located above the plug 7. A protective gasket that abuts against the plug 7 is provided on the top inner wall of the placement cavity 13 in the installation pipe. A sealing sleeve 8 is covered on the outer wall of the valve plate 6. A valve stem 3 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the closed housing 2. A handwheel 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem 3. A pressure plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the valve stem 3. The pressure plate is slidably fitted along the inner wall of the placement cavity 13 and is connected to the top of the valve plate 6. A cavity is provided inside the valve stem 3. A connecting rod 5 is slidably fitted on the inner wall of the cavity.
[0029] The top sidewall of the connecting rod 5 is provided with an annular protrusion that abuts against the top of the valve stem 3. The bottom sidewall of the connecting rod 5 has two opposing sliding grooves 11. The top sidewall of each sliding groove 11 has a limiting groove. The top outer wall of the plug 7 has an insertion groove. The inner wall of the insertion groove has a limiting block. The limiting block slides with the sliding groove 11. The sidewall of the insertion groove has a sliding cavity. The inner wall of the sliding cavity slides with a limiting ball head 9. One end of the limiting ball head 9 is fixedly connected to a spring 10. The other end of the spring 10 is connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity. The sidewall of the connecting rod 5 has an arc-shaped groove 12 that limits and cooperates with the limiting ball head 9.
[0030] When opening and closing the gate valve, the user turns the handwheel 4, causing the valve stem 3 to rotate and move. The valve plate 6 and the sealing sleeve 8 move synchronously with the valve stem 3. When the valve stem 3 moves upward, the top of the valve stem 3 moves the connecting rod 5 upward through the annular protrusion, and the plug 7 moves upward synchronously. When the valve stem 3 moves downward, the valve plate 6 moves downward and squeezes the plug 7, causing the plug 7 to move downward along the placement cavity 13. When the sealing sleeve 8 wears after long-term use and the valve plate 6 and sealing sleeve 8 need to be replaced, turn the handwheel 4 to move the valve plate 6 and the plug 7 upward until the plug 7 moves into the installation pipeline, where the anti-slip pad is pressed against the plug 7 and fixed, thus sealing the installation pipeline. Then, turn the connecting rod 5 to make the arc groove 12 squeeze the limiting ball head 9, causing the spring 10 to compress and deform, and the limiting ball head 9... Entering the buffer chamber, the limiting block located inside the limiting groove moves to the top of the sliding groove 11. At this time, the connecting rod 5 can be pulled upward, and the limiting block slides along the sliding groove 11, separating the connecting rod 5 from the plug 7. Then, the bolts are removed to remove the closed housing 2, and the valve plate 6 and sealing sleeve 8 are replaced. After the replacement is completed, the closed housing 2 is connected to the installation pipeline. The bottom end of the connecting rod 5 is inserted into the insertion groove along the cavity, and the limiting block enters the sliding groove 11. After the connecting rod 5 is fully inserted, the connecting rod 5 rotates at a certain angle, and the limiting block enters the limiting groove, connecting the connecting rod 5 to the plug 7. At this time, the limiting ball head 9 is pushed into the arc groove 12 by the spring 10 to limit the rotation of the connecting rod 5.
[0031] By setting a limiting ball head 9, a spring 10, and a sliding groove 11, when the connecting rod 5 is connected to the plug 7, the connection can be completed by rotating the connecting rod 5 at a certain angle without having to rotate it multiple times, making the operation convenient.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] A cryogenic gate valve with a movable sealing surface is described in this embodiment, which is based on Embodiment 1 and makes the following improvements, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, a filter plate 14 is provided at the liquid inlet end of the flow pipe of the valve body 1. A stepped groove is provided on the inner wall of the flow pipe of the valve body 1. Multiple connection holes 16 are opened on the side wall of the stepped groove. A connecting block 15 is fixed on the side wall of the filter plate 14. The connecting block 15 is inserted into the connection hole 16. A positioning magnetic piece 17 is fixed on one end of the connecting block 15 and the inner wall of the connection hole 16. The two positioning magnetic pieces 17 are magnetically attracted to each other.
[0034] When the fluid flows along the inner wall of the flow pipe, the filter plate 14 can filter the fluid and intercept solid particles that may be mixed in the fluid, such as pipe rust, to prevent solid particles from entering the placement cavity 13 and causing the valve plate 6 and plug 7 to move and get stuck or increase the wear rate of the plug 7. When installing the filter plate 14, place the filter plate 14 in the installation pipe, insert the connecting block 15 into the connecting hole 16, and fix the filter plate 14 by the magnetic attraction of the two positioning magnets 17.
[0035] By installing the filter plate 14, the fluid can be filtered to intercept solid particles that may be mixed in the fluid, such as pipe rust, and prevent solid particles from entering the placement chamber 13, which could cause the valve plate 6 and the plug 7 to move and get stuck or increase the wear rate of the plug 7.
[0036] With the connection block 15, connection hole 16 and positioning magnet 17 provided, when installing the filter plate 14, the filter plate 14 is placed in the installation pipe, the connection block 15 is inserted into the connection hole 16, and the filter plate 14 is fixed by the magnetic attraction of the two positioning magnets 17, which facilitates the installation of the filter plate 14.
[0037] Working principle: When opening and closing the gate valve, the user turns the handwheel 4, causing the valve stem 3 to rotate and move. The valve plate 6 and sealing sleeve 8 move synchronously with the valve stem 3. When the valve stem 3 moves upward, the top of the valve stem 3 drives the connecting rod 5 to move upward through the annular protrusion, and the plug 7 moves upward synchronously. When the valve stem 3 moves downward, the valve plate 6 moves downward and squeezes the plug 7, causing the plug 7 to move downward along the placement cavity 13. When the sealing sleeve 8 wears after long-term use and the valve plate 6 and sealing sleeve 8 need to be replaced, turn the handwheel 4 to move the valve plate 6 and plug 7 upward until the plug 7 moves into the installation pipeline. The anti-slip pad is pressed and fixed against the plug 7, thus sealing the installation pipeline. Then, turn the connecting rod 5 to make the arc groove 12 squeeze the limiting ball head 9, causing the spring 10 to compress and deform. The limiting ball head 9 enters the buffer cavity, and the limiting block located in the limiting groove moves to the top of the sliding groove 11. At this time, the connecting rod 5 can be pulled upward, and the limiting block slides along the sliding groove 11, separating the connecting rod 5 from the plug 7. Then, disassemble. The bolts are used to remove the sealed housing 2, and the valve plate 6 and sealing sleeve 8 are replaced. After replacement, the sealed housing 2 is connected to the installation pipe. The bottom end of the connecting rod 5 is inserted into the insertion groove along the cavity, and the limiting block enters the sliding groove 11. After the connecting rod 5 is fully inserted, the connecting rod 5 rotates at a certain angle, and the limiting block enters the limiting groove, so that the connecting rod 5 is connected to the plug 7. At this time, the limiting ball head 9 is pushed into the arc groove 12 by the spring 10 to limit the rotation of the connecting rod 5. When the fluid flows along the inner wall of the flow pipe, the filter plate 14 can filter the fluid and intercept solid particles that may be mixed in the fluid, such as pipe rust, to prevent solid particles from entering the placement cavity 13 and causing the valve plate 6 and plug 7 to move and get stuck or increasing the wear rate of the plug 7. When installing the filter plate 14, the filter plate 14 is placed in the installation pipe, and the connecting block 15 is inserted into the connecting hole 16. The filter plate 14 is fixed by the magnetic attraction of the two positioning magnetic pieces 17.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
