Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gas pipelines, specifically, it relates to a gas pipeline backflow prevention device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most gas-related check valves are valve-type structures, which cannot meet the requirements for use with gas pipelines outside buildings. They cannot prevent water from entering the gas pipeline without reducing the gas flow rate. Existing gas pipelines outside buildings require large-diameter check valve structures. Existing one-way check valves cannot be installed between large-diameter inlet and outlet gas pipelines, and therefore cannot effectively prevent water from entering the gas pipeline without reducing the gas flow rate.

[0003] A search revealed that a Chinese patent published on November 13, 2020, discloses a one-way check valve for a water supply system, publication number CN211924982U. The valve includes a connecting cylinder, a circular upper plate and lower plate, a spring, and a valve seat. The upper plate has multiple equidistant limit blocks at equal intervals on its inner side in the middle, and an externally threaded connecting pipe at the lower center of the upper plate. The connecting cylinder and lower plate are an integral structure, with an opening in the middle of the lower plate. Multiple guide strips are spaced at equal intervals on the inner side of the connecting cylinder. The upper end of the valve seat is tightly fitted onto the lower inner end of the spring, and the lower end of the valve seat is located within the opening in the middle of the lower plate. The upper end of the spring is located within the connecting pipe in the lower middle of the upper plate and below the multiple limit blocks. The upper plate is installed on the upper end of the connecting cylinder. This one-way check valve cannot be installed between large-diameter gas pipelines to achieve backflow prevention.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a gas pipeline backflow prevention device includes a housing 1. One side of the housing 1 has an outlet 2, and the other side has an inlet 3. A water-stopping mechanism 4 is provided between the outlet 2 and the inlet 3. The gas pipeline backflow prevention device is installed between gas pipelines through the large-sized housing 1. One side has an outlet 2 connected to an outlet pipeline, and the other side has an inlet 3 connected to an inlet pipeline.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model:

[0037] A gas pipeline backflow prevention device includes a housing 1, with an outlet 2 on one side and an inlet 3 on the other side. A water-stopping mechanism 4 is provided between the outlet 2 and the inlet 3. The water-stopping mechanism 4 includes a float 5 and a guide frame 6. A base 7 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The base 7 includes a base plate 23 and a protrusion 24. A first annular connecting plate 16 is fixed on the base 7. Multiple sets of fixing rods 18 are provided on the base 7 and connected to a second annular connecting plate 17. The guide frame 6 is installed as a whole on the base plate 23. A cavity 10 is provided at the top of the housing 1, and a support plate 11 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 10. The second connecting plate 17 is connected to the support plate 11 of the housing 1. The float 5 includes a first float 8 and a second float 9. The outer wall of the second float 9 is in contact with the inner wall of the first float 8, so that the first float 8 and the second float 9 can move along the wall. The second float 9 is fixed to the base 7. When water flows into the outlet 2, the first float 8 rises while the second float 9 remains stationary. The top of the first float 8 has a frustum-shaped boss 12. When the first float 8 passes through the through hole 13, the boss 12 and the first sealing ring 15 engage, stopping the first float 8. Under the action of buoyancy, it closes the through hole 13, preventing water from flowing into the inlet 3 along the bend 26. When there is no water flow, the first float 8 descends, opening the through hole 13, while the second float 9 remains stationary, allowing gas to enter the outlet 2 from the inlet 3 through the bend 26. This prevents water from entering the gas pipeline without reducing the gas flow rate. The base plate 23 has a hexagonal protrusion 24, and the bottom of the housing 1 has a hexagonal groove 25 that mates with the protrusion 24, allowing the bottom of the housing 1 to be embedded into the base plate 23. The outer side of the protrusion 24 on the base plate 23 also has a groove to reduce stress concentration during bolt fixing. The base plate 23 and the bottom of the housing 1 are connected by bolts.
