Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gate valve technology, specifically a high-parameter power plant condensate gate valve. Background Technology
[0002] In modern large-scale power plant systems, steam traps are critical equipment for ensuring the safe operation of steam pipeline systems. With continuously increasing power plant parameters, modern supercritical and ultra-supercritical units operate at pressures of 25-31 MPa and temperatures exceeding 600°C. Under these extreme conditions, steam traps require extremely high sealing performance and reliability. Especially during unit start-up and shutdown, load changes, and other operational variations, the valves must be able to withstand severe pressure fluctuations and temperature shocks.
[0003] Currently, conventional power plant drain valves generally adopt a single-stage sealing structure. When the system pressure suddenly increases, the traditional rigid sealing structure cannot automatically adjust the sealing pressure, which makes the sealing surface prone to leakage. When the pressure decreases, the seal is too tight, which can cause jamming. This defect is particularly prominent under high-parameter operating conditions, which seriously affects the safe and stable operation of the power plant. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-parameter power plant drain shut-off valve to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1.

[0021] 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.
[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] A high-parameter power plant drain shut-off valve includes a valve body 1, with a valve cover 2 bolted to its top. An opening / closing mechanism is located between the valve cover 2 and the valve body 1. This mechanism includes a threaded rod 4 rotatably connected to the middle of the valve cover 2 via a bearing, and a rectangular valve stem 5 threaded to the outside of the threaded rod 4. The outer wall of the rectangular valve stem 5 intermittently fits the inner wall of the valve body 1 and the middle of the valve cover 2. The top of the threaded rod 4 extends to the outside of the valve cover 2 and is fixedly connected to a handwheel 6. A valve seat 3 is fixedly connected to the inner middle of the valve body 1. A flow-stopping mechanism is provided between the valve seat 3 and the opening / closing mechanism to cut off the flow. The mechanism includes an upper sealing plate 7 fixedly connected to the bottom end of a rectangular valve stem 5, and a sealing groove 8 annularly formed on the upper end of a valve seat 3. A sealing ring 9 matching the sealing groove 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the upper sealing plate 7. The flow-stopping mechanism also includes a sleeve 10 vertically arranged in the middle of the bottom end of the upper sealing plate 7, and a movable block 11 movably arranged inside the sleeve 10. Movable grooves 12 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the bottom end of the sleeve 10. A clamping head 13 is movably installed inside the movable groove 12. A clamping groove 14 matching the clamping head 13 is formed on the inner wall of the bottom end of the valve seat 3. A groove is provided between the clamping head 13 and the movable block 11. A connecting rod 15 is provided, with its two ends hinged to a movable block 11 and a locking head 13, respectively. The flow-stopping mechanism further includes a vertical rod 16 fixedly to the middle of the top of the movable block 11, and guide grooves 17 formed on both sides of the upper end of the inner wall of the sleeve 10. The top of the vertical rod 16 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the middle of the upper sealing plate 7. A spring 18 is movably sleeved between the movable block 11 and the upper sealing plate 7 and outside the vertical rod 16. Guide blocks 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the movable block 11 and slidably connected to the guide grooves 17. A guide block 19 is slidably connected between the guide block 19 and the upper sealing plate 7 and outside the spring 18. A corrugated sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 10. A lower sealing plate 21 is provided directly below the bottom end of the sleeve 10. An O-ring 22 is fixedly connected between the lower sealing plate 21 and the outer periphery of the sleeve 10. A vertical rod 23 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top end of the lower sealing plate 21. A spring 26 is movably sleeved between the sleeve 10 and the lower sealing plate 21 and outside the vertical rod 23. A vertical groove 24 matching the vertical rod 23 is opened in the middle of the bottom end of the sleeve 10. A vertical limiting post 25 is fixedly connected to the lower middle of the inner side of the valve body 1. The limiting post 25 and the vertical rod 23 are on the same central axis.
[0024] In this embodiment, by using the pressure self-compensating sealing structure, when the medium pressure increases, the O-ring 22 will generate greater radial compression deformation under pressure, so that the sealing specific pressure will automatically increase with the system pressure, ensuring that a reliable seal can be maintained under different operating conditions.
[0025] Furthermore, through the coordinated use of the mechanical interlocking mechanism, when the valve is closed, the mechanical locking of the clamp 13 and the clamp groove 14 can resist the reverse impact of the medium pressure on the sealing structure. At the same time, the main sealing structure between the upper sealing plate 7 and the valve seat 3 remains in a fixed compression state. The two work together to ensure the sealing reliability of the valve under high pressure differential.
[0026] Working principle: When the handwheel 6 is rotated, the threaded rod 4 rotates, which drives the rectangular valve stem 5 to move axially through the threaded engagement. The rectangular valve stem 5 drives the upper sealing plate 7 to move downward, causing the sealing ring 9 to press into the sealing groove 8 of the valve seat 3 to form the main seal. During this process, the upper sealing plate 7 pushes the movable block 11 downward in the sleeve 10 through the vertical rod 16. The movable block 11 drives the chuck 13 to extend radially from the movable groove 12 through the connecting rod 15 and engage with the chuck groove 14 of the valve seat 3 to form a mechanical lock. When the medium pressure acts on the lower sealing plate 21, it pushes it upward, causing the vertical rod 23 to slide along the vertical groove 24 and... The compression spring 26, and the O-ring 22 undergoes radial compression deformation under the action of medium pressure, forming a seal between the sleeve 10 and the valve seat 3. The sealing performance of the O-ring 22 increases synchronously with the increase of medium pressure. When the medium pressure reaches the upper limit of operation, the fit clearance between the limit post 25 and the vertical rod 23 ensures that the O-ring 22 will not be over-compressed. When the handwheel 6 is rotated in the reverse direction, the rectangular valve stem 5 drives the upper sealing plate 7 to rise and disengage from the valve seat 3. The spring 18 pushes the movable block 11 to move upward and retracts the locking head 13 through the connecting rod 15 to release the lock. At the same time, the spring 26 pushes the lower sealing plate 21 to reset.
