[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a gas cylinder valve, including a valve body 1. The valve body 1 has a valve cavity, which includes a gas cavity 2 and a mounting cavity 3 arranged sequentially from bottom to top and connected to each other. The valve body 1 has an inlet channel 4 and an outlet channel 5 that communicate with the gas cavity 2. The mounting cavity 3 has a fixing nut 6, and the fixing nut 6 has a connecting cavity 7. The connecting cavity 7 has a sealing assembly that blocks the gas port of the inlet channel 4. The sealing assembly includes a valve stem 8. The bottom of the valve stem 8 is fixedly connected to a first threaded head 9 that is threaded to the inner wall of the connecting cavity 7. The first threaded head 9 is connected to a coupling 10 via a detachable mechanism. The coupling 10 has a snap-fit ​​cavity 11, and the snap-fit ​​cavity 11 is connected to a sealing element located in the gas cavity 2 that blocks the inlet channel 4.

[0028] The detachable mechanism includes a slot 12 formed on the first threaded head 9, and a locking block 13 fixedly connected to the coupling 10 to engage with the slot 12.

[0029] The slot 12 has a shaft hole coaxial with the valve stem 8, and the shaft hole contains bearing steel balls 14.

[0030] The sealing component includes a sealing block 23, on which a connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected. The connecting rod 15 is press-fitted into the snap-fit ​​cavity 11. A diaphragm 16 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 15. A sealing valve cap 17 is provided between the top of the diaphragm 16 and the bottom of the fixing nut 6. An annular groove is formed at the bottom of the sealing block 23, and a sealing ring 18 is provided in the annular groove. It should be noted that, in a preferred embodiment of this solution, multiple diaphragms 16 are provided, and multiple layers of diaphragms 16 are stacked and fixedly connected to the connecting rod 15. Furthermore, the diaphragms 16 and the connecting rod 15 are connected using a laser welding process in the prior art, and the multiple layers of diaphragms 16 are welded layer by layer in batches. Furthermore, based on the elastic characteristics of the sealing ring 18, the sealing ring 18 and the annular groove are snap-fitted together. Therefore, during installation, the sealing ring 18 needs to be snapped into the annular groove first.

[0031] The diaphragm 16 has a flat central portion and an arc-shaped peripheral portion. The arc-shaped peripheral portion of the diaphragm 16 abuts and fits against the bottom of the sealing valve cap 17. The mounting cavity 3 has a groove for the edge of the diaphragm 16 to fit. The flat central portion of the diaphragm 16 facilitates welding with the connecting rod 15, while the arc-shaped peripheral portion of the diaphragm 16 allows the edge of the diaphragm 16 to fit better into the groove when it is installed in the valve body 1, thereby improving the sealing performance. Furthermore, it can further reduce the stress concentration problem caused by the displacement of the diaphragm 16, thereby further improving the sealing performance.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 6-7 As shown, flat surfaces are milled on the coupling 10 and the sealing block 23 respectively, so that workers can pre-clamp the coupling 10 and the sealing block 23 with conventional tools, thereby facilitating installation.

[0033] The air inlet of the air intake channel 4, which connects to the air chamber 2, has a raised edge protruding towards the air chamber 2. When the sealing ring 18 abuts against this raised edge, it seals the air intake channel 4. Specifically, when the sealing ring 18 abuts against the raised edge, the entire sealing block 23 seals the air intake channel 4, preventing gas from entering. Furthermore, the diaphragm 16 serves as a second layer of sealing, preventing gas in the air chamber 2 from being released from the mounting cavity 3, thus achieving a better sealing effect.

[0034] The connecting cavity 7 includes an outlet section 71, a limiting section 72, and a threaded section 73 that are connected to each other. The diameter of the first threaded head 9, which is threaded into the threaded section 73, is larger than the diameter of the valve stem 8. The stem of the valve stem 8 is in contact with the inner wall of the outlet section 71. The diameter of the limiting section 72 is larger than the diameter of the threaded section 73.

[0035] The valve stem 8 is fitted with a wheel handle 20 via an interference fit. A second threaded head 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem 8, and a blocking block 21 is threaded onto the second threaded head 19. It should be noted that the diameter of the second threaded head 19 is smaller than the diameter of the valve stem 8 to facilitate the installation of the wheel handle 20.

[0036] Specifically, when the operator rotates the wheel 20 to drive the first threaded head 9, which is fixedly connected to the valve stem 8, to rotate relative to the fixed nut 6, and drives the top of the first threaded head 9 to abut against the top of the limiting section 72, the valve stem 8 moves upward relative to the fixed nut 6. In the cooperation of the slot 12 and the locking block 13, the sealing block 23, which is interference-fitted into the coupling 10, moves upward, thereby causing the sealing ring 18 to separate from the raised edge, thus achieving the sealing of the air intake passage 4.

[0037] The fixing nut 6 has a retaining sleeve fixedly connected to its peripheral side, which is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the mounting cavity 3. Both ends of the retaining sleeve have inclined guide surfaces. The guide surfaces facilitate the insertion and installation by the operator.

[0038] The top of the blocking block 21 is fixedly connected to an indicator 22, which has an arrow indicating the direction of rotation of the handle 20. This allows operators to easily turn the handle 20 according to the arrow on the indicator 22, thus opening and closing the entire device.

[0039] Specifically, the installation process is as follows: First, pass the connecting rod 15 through the center of the sealing nut, then insert the connecting rod 15 into the snap-fit ​​cavity 11 opened on the connecting shaft through an interference fit. Then, place the bearing steel ball 14 in the shaft hole and drive the snap-fit ​​block 13 fixedly connected to the coupling 10 into the slot 12. Further, pass the valve stem 8 through the through cavity 7 of the fixing nut 6 until the first threaded head 9 abuts against the thread in the through cavity 7. Then drive the valve stem 8 to rotate until the top of the first threaded head 9 abuts against the top of the limiting section 72. Then, insert the wheel handle 20 into the valve stem 8 through an interference fit. Then, thread the limiting block into the second threaded head 19. Finally, fix the fixing nut 6 into the mounting cavity 3 through an interference fit.

[0040] The above installation process is simple to operate, and the entire device has a simple structure, is easy to process and install, and has high reliability, while greatly reducing the difficulty of tooling and assembly.

[0041] Furthermore, the entire installation adopts an internal and external clamping structure design to resist the medium force of loosening between the fixing nut 6 and the valve body 1, and between the sealing block 23 and the coupling 10, which can provide a reliable sealing effect to the greatest extent.

[0042] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
