Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bellows regulating valve technology, and in particular to an integrated welded bellows regulating valve. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional bellows control valves mostly employ a split structure, where the bellows section and valve body flange are mechanically assembled via threaded connections or bolt press-fit. While this structure meets basic sealing requirements for conventional operating conditions to a certain extent, it has drawbacks when handling special media. Micrometer-level gaps exist at the mechanical connection surfaces, making them highly susceptible to seepage and leakage when the medium consists of small molecules. Particularly when handling flammable, explosive, highly toxic, corrosive, or radioactive media, leakage and contact with air can easily lead to explosions and other serious safety accidents. To address this challenge and improve the valve's sealing performance and reliability, this paper proposes an integrated welded bellows control valve. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is: Traditional bellows valves often employ a split structure, where the bellows section and valve body flange are mechanically assembled via threaded connections or bolt press-fitting. This results in micron-level assembly gaps at the mechanical connection surfaces, making them prone to leakage when the medium is a small molecule substance. Especially when handling flammable, explosive, highly toxic, corrosive, or radioactive media, leakage and contact with air can easily lead to explosions and other serious safety accidents. Therefore, this invention provides an integrated welded bellows regulating valve.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: an integrated welded bellows regulating valve, including a valve body, a flow channel provided on the valve body, a matching valve seat and valve core provided on the flow channel, a valve stem provided on the valve core, a bellows, an upper valve cover support ring, and a connecting pipe. One end of the connecting pipe is welded to the valve body, and the other end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the upper valve cover. The support ring is sealed between the other end of the connecting pipe and the upper valve cover. The end of the valve stem away from the valve core passes through the connecting pipe and the upper valve cover in sequence and protrudes from the upper valve cover. A sealing packing is provided between the upper valve cover and the valve stem. A pressure plate for pressing the sealing packing is provided on the upper valve cover. The bellows is sleeved on the valve stem. One end of the bellows is fixedly connected to the support ring, and the other end of the bellows is fixed to the valve stem. An anti-rotation mechanism for preventing the valve core from rotating is provided between the valve core and the valve body. Compared to existing technologies, this solution replaces the original separate bellows seal with a seal between the connecting pipe and the upper valve cover, a seal between the upper valve cover and the valve stem, and a welded seal between the connecting pipe and the valve body. This multi-seal structure greatly reduces the possibility of media leakage. At the same time, the anti-rotation mechanism between the valve core and the valve body makes the valve structure more stable, thereby improving the valve's sealing performance and safety reliability.
[0005] To achieve a seal between the connecting pipe and the upper valve cover, in some preferred embodiments, sealing gaskets are provided between the support ring and the connecting pipe, and between the support ring and the upper valve cover. By providing sealing gaskets between the support ring and the connecting pipe and the upper valve cover at both ends, a seal between the connecting pipe and the upper valve cover is ensured.
[0006] In order to fix the lower end of the bellows to the valve stem, in some preferred embodiments, a fixing seat is fixedly connected to the valve stem, the fixing seat is located inside the connecting pipe, and the other end of the bellows is fixedly connected to the fixing seat.
[0007] In some preferred embodiments, the upper end of the bellows is fixed to the support ring by welding, and the lower end of the bellows is fixed to the fixing seat by welding.
[0008] To implement the anti-rotation mechanism, in some preferred embodiments, the anti-rotation mechanism includes an anti-rotation pin, which is fixedly installed on the valve core along a direction perpendicular to the valve core's displacement path. A limiting groove is formed on the valve body along the displacement direction of the anti-rotation pin, and one end of the anti-rotation pin is located within the limiting groove. The anti-rotation of the valve core is achieved through the cooperation between the anti-rotation pin on the valve core and the limiting groove on the valve body.
[0009] In some preferred embodiments, one end of the anti-rotation pin is threaded onto the valve core.
[0010] In some preferred embodiments, the valve body has a sliding hole that matches the valve core, the end of the valve core away from the valve seat is slidably disposed in the sliding hole, and the limiting groove is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the sliding hole.
[0011] In some preferred embodiments, a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring are provided between the valve seat and the valve body. The first sealing ring is used for axial sealing between the valve core and the valve body, and the second sealing ring is used for circumferential sealing between the valve core and the valve body.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using the integrated welded bellows regulating valve, the original separate sealing of the bellows is replaced by sealing between the connecting pipe and the upper valve cover, between the upper valve cover and the valve stem, and a welded seal between the connecting pipe and the valve body. This multi-seal structure significantly reduces the possibility of media leakage. Simultaneously, the anti-rotation mechanism between the valve core and the valve body further stabilizes the valve structure, thereby improving its sealing performance and reliability. This avoids the problem of traditional bellows valves using a split structure, where the bellows section and valve body flange are mechanically assembled via threaded connections or bolt press-fitting. The mechanical connection surface has micron-level assembly gaps, making it prone to seepage and leakage when the medium is a small molecule substance. Especially when handling flammable, explosive, highly toxic, corrosive, or radioactive media, leakage and contact with air can easily lead to explosions and other serious safety accidents.

A sealing packing 10 is provided between the upper valve cover 7 and the valve stem 5. A pressure plate 11 is provided on the upper valve cover 7 to press the sealing packing 10. The pressure plate 11 is fixed to the upper valve cover 7 by screws. The bellows 6 is sleeved on the valve stem 5.
