Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gate valve technology, specifically a gate valve with a buffer function. Background Technology
[0002] A gate valve is a type of valve that uses a valve stem to drive a valve core (usually a disc or cone) to move up and down along the center line of the valve seat to open or close the flow of media in a pipeline. Its core structure includes a valve body, valve cover, valve stem, valve core, and valve seat. Its excellent sealing performance is a significant advantage. When closed, the valve core and valve seat fit tightly together, which can effectively prevent backflow of media. Therefore, it is widely used in pipeline systems such as tap water, petroleum, and chemical industries that require strict control of the flow of media.
[0003] Traditional gate valves experience significant impact forces between the valve disc and seat during operation, which can easily cause wear on valve components and shorten the valve's service life. This impact force is particularly pronounced when conveying high-pressure fluids or fluids containing impurities, affecting not only the valve's sealing performance but also potentially causing pipeline vibration and noise.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a stop valve with a buffer function to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] This invention provides a stop valve with a buffer function. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. This gate valve with buffer function uses a buffer assembly to achieve buffering during the valve disc closing or opening process. The damper and spring work together to reduce the impact force between the valve disc and the sealing ring, reduce component wear, and extend the valve's service life. The damper provides damping force to slow down the relative movement speed of the bottom rod and the top rod; the spring acts as an elastic buffer to absorb some of the impact force. The two work together to achieve a better buffering effect.
[0015] 2. In this stop valve with buffer function, the bottom rod of the buffer assembly is slidably connected to the lower end of the sealing cylinder, and the top rod is slidably connected to the upper end of the sealing cylinder. The sealing cylinder can protect the bottom rod, top rod, damper and spring, prevent external impurities from entering and affecting the normal operation of the buffer assembly, and at the same time ensure the sealing of the working environment of the buffer assembly.

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a stop valve with a buffer function, including a valve body 1. A sealing flange 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the valve body 1. A flange sealing plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the sealing flange 3 by bolts 5. A buffer assembly 2 is provided inside the valve body 1. A limit frame 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the flange sealing plate 4. A sealing cylinder 10 is fixedly installed inside the flange sealing plate 4 and the limit frame 9. The buffer assembly 2 includes a bottom rod 21 and a top rod 23. A damper 24 is fixedly installed between the bottom rods 21 and the top rod 23 and is located outside the damper 24. The bottom rod 21 is slidably connected to the lower end inside the sealing cylinder 10. The top rod 23 is slidably connected to the upper end inside the sealing cylinder 10. The damper 24 and the spring 25 are located inside the sealing cylinder 10. A valve disc 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bottom rod 21.
[0025] The valve body 1 includes an inlet chamber 11 and a drain chamber 12, both of which are located inside the valve body 1. A connecting hole 13 is provided between the inlet chamber 11 and the connecting hole 13. A sealing ring 14 is fixedly installed inside the connecting hole 13, and a valve disc 22 is inserted into the sealing ring 14. By setting the sealing ring 14 and the valve disc 22 to cooperate, the sealing performance of the valve is improved. When the valve disc 22 is inserted into the sealing ring 14, it can effectively prevent the fluid in the inlet chamber 11 from entering the drain chamber 12 through the connecting hole 13.
[0026] A limiting rod 26 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top rod 23, and a limiting groove 27 is formed at the top of the bottom rod 21. The limiting rod 26 is inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 27. The cooperation between the limiting rod 26 and the limiting groove 27 plays a good guiding role in the relative movement of the top rod 23 and the bottom rod 21, preventing them from shifting during movement and ensuring the stability of the buffer assembly 2.
[0027] A support frame 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the limit frame 9. A screw rod 8 is screwed into the inside of the support frame 6. The bottom of the screw rod 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the top rod 23. The screw rod 8 and the support frame 6 are screwed together so that rotating the screw rod 8 can drive the top rod 23 to move up and down, thereby controlling the position of the valve disc 22.
[0028] A handwheel 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the screw 8, and the handwheel 7 is located above the support frame 6. The handwheel 7 makes it easier for the operator to turn the screw 8, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the convenience of operation.
[0029] Flanges are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the valve body 1. The left flange is connected to the inlet chamber 11, and the right flange is connected to the drain chamber 12. The flanges facilitate the connection of this shut-off valve to external pipelines. The connection method is simple and reliable, ensuring the sealing of fluid transportation.
[0030] Furthermore, all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art, and all electrical components mentioned in this document are powered by external power supply lines.
[0031] Working principle: When the valve needs to be closed, the operator turns the handwheel 7, which drives the screw 8 to rotate. Since the screw 8 is screwed to the support frame 6, the screw 8 moves downward while rotating, thereby causing the top rod 23 to slide downward within the sealing cylinder 10. When the top rod 23 moves downward, it applies pressure to the spring 25 and the damper 24. The spring 25 is compressed, and the damper 24 generates a damping force. Under the action of the elastic force of the spring 25 and the damping force of the damper 24, the bottom rod 21 gradually moves downward, and the valve disc 22 at the bottom of the bottom rod 21 moves downward accordingly, eventually inserting into the sealing ring 14, thus closing the valve. During this process, spring 25 and damper 24 act as a buffer, slowing down the downward movement of valve disc 22 and reducing the impact force between valve disc 22 and sealing ring 14. When the valve needs to be opened, the operator rotates handwheel 7 in the opposite direction, screw 8 drives top rod 23 upward, spring 25 and damper 24 gradually return to their original state, bottom rod 21 moves upward under the elastic force of spring 25, valve disc 22 is pulled out from inside sealing ring 14, and fluid in inlet chamber 11 enters drain chamber 12 through connecting hole 13, thus opening the valve. Similarly, during the opening process, spring 25 and damper 24 also act as a buffer, preventing the rapid movement of valve disc 22 from impacting related components.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
