DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the disclosed embodiments will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0037] The embodiments of the present application disclose a valve plate assembly suitable for high temperature, as shown in FIG. 1, which is a sectional view of a valve plate assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application. The valve plate assembly comprises a valve disc 1 and a valve disc ring 2. The valve disc ring 2 is fixed to one side of the valve disc 1 and is used to tightly fit the valve seat 34 arranged inside the flow passage 32. When the valve is closed, the valve plate assembly is blocked, the valve disc ring 2 and the valve seat 34 arranged inside the flow passage 32 are tightly fitted to realize the sealing of the valve. The valve disc 1 adopts an integral casting structure, such as an integral casting stainless steel. The back of the valve disc ring 2 is uniformly provided with threaded holes, and the valve disc ring 2 and the valve disc 1 are connected through the first bolt 6. The first bolt 6 is a hexagonal head bolt. The front of the valve disc 1 is provided with guide strips 3, the back of the guide strips 3 is uniformly provided with threaded holes, and the guide strips 3 and the valve disc 1 are connected through the second bolt 4, which is a hexagonal head bolt.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the sealing surface of the valve disc ring 2 is welded with hard alloy to prevent the valve disc ring 2 and the valve seat 34 from rubbing and causing the sealing surface to wear when the valve disc is closed, thereby causing sealing failure. The sealing surface of the valve disc ring 2 is higher than the end surface of the valve disc 1, so as to ensure that the sealing surface of the valve disc ring 2 is fitted to the valve seat 34 when closed.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the front of the valve disc 1 is processed with a stepped surface, and the stepped surface is uniformly processed with first through holes 12. The back of the valve disc ring 2 is processed with uniformly distributed threaded holes, and the threaded holes of the valve disc ring 2 and the first through holes 12 of the valve disc 1 are one-to-one corresponding.

[0040] The first bolt 6 is screwed through the first through hole 12 of the valve disc 1 and the threaded hole of the valve disc ring 2 to fix the valve disc 1 and the valve disc ring 2.

[0041] The inside of the first through hole 12 of the back of the valve disc 1 is processed with a second blind hole 13, and the second stop washer 7 is arranged between the valve disc 1 and the first bolt 6. The second stop washer 7 is an outer tongue stop washer, a small anti-rotation piece extends into the second blind hole 13, and the back is vertically erected to prevent the first bolt 6 from rotating and causing the valve disc ring 2 to fall off.

[0042] The valve disc ring 2 is provided with a slow-release groove on the inner side of the front face and the lower part of the outer circle, and the right angle position of the stepped face of the valve disc 1 is chamfered, and the edge of the inner side of the valve disc ring 2 and the stepped face is chamfered, so that the valve disc ring 2 does not interfere with the valve disc 1, and the installation stress is small. The gap between the valve disc ring 2 and the valve disc 1 is sealed by welding, so that when the valve is closed, no gas or liquid flows between the valve cavity 33 and the flow passage 32. The slow-release groove reduces the deformation of the sealing surface during welding, reduces the welding stress, reduces the possibility of defects in the welding seam, prevents the welding seam from cracking, and at the same time reduces the deformation of the sealing surface of the valve disc ring 2. Under high temperature working conditions, the slow-release groove reduces the internal thermal stress of the welding seam, which is not easy to crack, cooperates with the tightening effect of the first bolt 6, greatly reduces the possibility of the valve disc ring falling off, and prolongs the service life of the valve plate assembly 30. According to simulation calculation, the stress at the welding seam is reduced by about 20%.

[0043] The valve disc ring 2 and the valve disc 1 have two gaps, at least one of the two gaps is sealed by welding to form a welding seam, and at least one side of the welding seam is provided with a slow-release groove, that is, the slow-release groove is located on the valve disc ring 2 or the valve disc 1.
