Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluid control technology, and in particular to a single-flow valve. Background Technology

[0002] A water injection well is a well used to inject water into an oil reservoir. Water is injected into the reservoir through the water injection well to maintain or restore the reservoir pressure. The water injection pipeline of the water injection well needs to be connected to a check valve to control the unidirectional flow of water and prevent backflow.

[0003] In water injection well operations, check valves play a crucial role, ensuring that fluid flows in only one direction and preventing backflow in the pipeline, thereby maintaining the stability and safety of the water injection system. However, traditional check valve designs often suffer from problems such as complex structure, unstable sealing performance, susceptibility to damage, and inability to be disassembled for maintenance. This not only affects water injection efficiency but also increases maintenance costs. Therefore, developing a check valve that is simple in structure, reliable in sealing, and durable is particularly important.

[0004] A one-way valve disclosed in patent application number CN201920877543.X has a valve seat at the lower part of the valve body, a valve cavity above the valve seat, a valve ball located in the valve cavity, and the valve ball and the valve seat at the lower part of the valve body cooperate to seal. The valve body has a constraint hole inside, located above the valve cavity. A spring is placed inside the valve body, with the lower end of the spring resting on a shoulder above the constraint hole. A valve cover is installed inside the valve body, with the upper shoulder of the valve cover resting on the upper end of the spring. The lower part of the valve cover has a cylindrical boss that mates with the constraint hole. An upper connector connects to the valve body, and the lower end of the upper connector presses against the valve cover, causing the lower boss of the valve cover to be positioned within the constraint hole. The valve cover has a conical shoulder inside. The inner diameter of the valve cover above the conical shoulder is larger than the diameter of the valve ball, while the inner diameter of the valve cover below the conical shoulder is smaller than the diameter of the valve ball. A connecting groove is provided at the lower part of the valve cover, and a slot is machined on the valve cover, opening downwards. In this invention, the valve ball seals with the valve seat at the lower part of the valve body. The valve ball has corroded and scaled, resulting in poor sealing performance, short service life, and low reliability of the one-way valve.

[0005] The utility model patent with patent application number CN201620308557.6, entitled "A Detachable One-Way Valve," describes a valve seat installed inside the lower end of a valve cover, with the valve seat and valve cover connected by threads. A steel ball is placed inside the valve cover and positioned on the valve seat. A plug is connected to the upper end of the valve cover by threads. The diameter of the steel ball is larger than the inner diameter of the valve seat. The valve cover has multiple outlets, evenly distributed around the circumference of the valve cover above the steel ball. A sealing gasket is placed between the valve seat and the valve cover. This utility model provides a detachable one-way valve that, while retaining the original seat seal function, allows for easy disassembly, cleaning, and replacement of parts; however, its sealing performance is unstable and it is easily damaged.

[0023] Example 1: To overcome the problems of poor sealing performance and high maintenance costs in existing systems, this utility model provides the following... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a one-way valve, which simplifies the structure of the one-way valve, reduces manufacturing difficulty and maintenance costs, improves the sealing performance of the one-way valve, and ensures that fluid backflow can be effectively prevented under various working conditions. It also enhances the durability of the one-way valve, extends its service life, and reduces the frequency of maintenance.

[0024] A one-way valve includes a valve body 1, a valve seat 5, a spring 8, and a valve core 15. The valve body 1 has a valve cavity 9, which has a first settling hole 10, a second settling hole 11, and a third settling hole 12.
