Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gate valve technology, specifically to a novel four-way gate valve. Background Technology
[0002] Gate valves are among the most widely used fluid control devices, their core function being to control the flow of media in pipelines through opening and closing movements. However, current gate valve systems still face several technical limitations in practical engineering applications: First, a single valve only controls a single pipeline; multi-pipeline systems require multiple independent valve units, increasing system complexity. Second, conventional flange connections require significant installation space, leading to insufficient adaptability in compact equipment or confined working environments. Particularly for space-constrained piping systems, the standardized interface designs of existing gate valves often fail to meet the demands of compact installation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of four-way shut-off valve, which is designed for the multi-pipeline control needs of wellhead equipment. This valve realizes the functions of precise cut-off and flow direction switching of multiple channels through an integrated flow channel structure. It adopts a composite sealing system and modular compact design, which can meet the fluid control requirements of narrow installation space in complex operating environments.
[0004] Given the shortcomings of previous gate valves, this paper presents a new type of four-way gate valve with four channels in the valve body, which meets the usage requirements while solving the problems.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: A novel four-way shut-off valve, comprising a valve seat (8) mounted inside a valve body (10), the valve seat (8) and the valve body (10) being sealed by a valve seat sealing ring (7) and an O-ring (9), the valve seat (8) and the valve stem head (6) being tightly fitted together to achieve the function of shutting off the fluid, the valve stem head (6) and the valve stem (5) being connected by threads, with a stop ring (17) designed in the middle to prevent the threads from loosening, and the valve body (10) and the valve cover (3) being connected by a threaded bolt (1). The valve stem (5) and nut (2) are connected and sealed by the middle flange steel ring (4). The valve stem (5) and valve cover (3) are sealed by valve stem packing (16), and the valve stem packing (16) is fixed by packing gland (15). The valve cover (3) is designed with a connecting sleeve (14) on the upper part and is fixed by hexagonal head screw (18). The protective cover (13) is connected to the connecting sleeve (14) by thread to protect the indicator (12). The handwheel (11) is connected to the valve stem (5).
[0006] Preferably, the valve seat (8) and the valve body (10) are sealed by a valve seat sealing ring (7) and an O-ring (9).
[0007] Preferably, the valve stem head (6) and the valve stem (5) are connected by a thread, and a stop ring (17) is designed in the middle.
[0008] Preferably, the valve body (10) and the valve cover (3) are connected by threaded bolts (1) and nuts (2), and sealed by a middle flange steel ring (4).
[0009] Preferably, the valve stem (5) and the valve cover (3) are sealed with valve stem packing (16), and the valve stem packing (16) is fixed with packing gland (15).
[0010] Preferably, the cover (13) is threaded onto the connecting sleeve (14) to protect the indicator (12).
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The novel four-way shut-off valve provided by this utility model adopts a four-channel interface and is connected to the field pipeline by bolts. The overall structure is compact, which can save installation space and facilitate the arrangement of on-site drainage operations. The valve body is made of an integral forging, which has higher material strength and better safety. The valve stem head adopts a conical design and fits and seals with the conical surface of the valve seat, which reduces the resistance to cutting off the fluid. Furthermore, the valve stem head and valve stem are designed separately, which makes it easy and quick to replace or repair the sealing surface, saving maintenance time and costs.
