Embodiment I

[0041] The present embodiment provides an anti-static globe valve for hyperbaric oxygen. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the globe valve comprises a valve body 1, a valve disc 2, a valve seat 3, and a valve stem 4. The valve body 1 is provided with two air ports, one of the air ports is an air inlet, and the other of the air ports is an air outlet, and the two air ports are in communication with each other through an air channel. The valve seat 3 is installed in the valve body 1, and the valve disc 2 moves in the air channel of the valve body 1. When the valve disc 2 is in contact with the valve seat 3, the valve disc 2 is able to cut off the flowing of a medium in the air channel. When the valve disc 2 is far away from the valve seat 3, the flowing of the medium in the air channel is allowed. An upper sleeve 5 and a lower sleeve 6 are further provided in the valve body 1. The upper sleeve 5 is perpendicular to and in communication with the air channel, and the valve disc 2 moves up and down in the upper sleeve 5. The lower sleeve 6 is horizontally arranged between the upper sleeve 5 and the valve seat 3, with one end communicating with the air channel, and a sidewall communicating with the upper sleeve 5, such that the valve disc 2 may enter into the lower sleeve 6 when moving up and down along an inner wall of the upper sleeve 5. When the valve disc 2 enters into the lower sleeve 6 to be in contact with the valve seat 3, the flowing of the medium in the air channel may be cut off. The valve stem 4 is connected to the valve disc 2, and the valve disc 2 is driven by the valve stem 4 to move up and down.

[0042] Specifically, the globe valve further comprises a bonnet 7, and the valve stem 4 passes through and is slidingly connected to the bonnet 7. Furthermore, the packing 8 is filled between the contact surfaces of the valve stem 4 and the bonnet 7. At least one layer of packing 8 is filled to play a role of sealing when the valve stem 4 moves back and forth in the bonnet 7.

[0043] In some embodiments, the uppermost layer of the packing 8 is further compacted by a packing pressing gland and a packing pressing plate to further improve the sealing effect.

[0044] Specifically, the globe valve further comprises an actuating mechanism and a support 12. The actuating mechanism is erected on the bonnet 7 by the support 12. The actuating mechanism comprises a screw 9, a nut 10, and an actuator 11. The screw 9 is meshed with the nut 10, the nut 10 is installed in the support 12 by a bearing. The actuator is configured to drive the nut 10 to rotate, thus making the screw 9 move linearly.

[0045] In some embodiments, the screw 9 is connected to the valve stem 4 by a connecting clamp block 13, the connecting clamp block 13 is fixedly connected to the valve stem 4 and rotationally connected to the screw 9, such that the screw 9 may drive the valve stem 4 to move up and down.

[0046] In some embodiments, the valve stem 4 and the valve disc 2 are in threaded connection at conical contact surfaces, such that the valve stem 4 and the valve disc 2 are integrated as a whole. It is guaranteed that the valve disc 2 is free of rotational friction in the process of opening and closing and always moves up and down. Therefore, it may be guarantee that no friction phenomenon exists between the valve disc 2 and two sealing surfaces of the valve seat 3 at the moment the valve disc is closed, and the anti-static performance is improved.

[0047] In some embodiments, a cross section of the valve disc 2 is U-shaped and may divide the upper sleeve 5 into two spaces. The valve disc 2 has a height greater than a diameter of the lower sleeve 6, such that the valve disc 2 may completely close the opening of the lower sleeve 6.

[0048] Specifically, a lip-shaped seal ring 14 is provided at the contact surfaces of the upper sleeve 5 and the lower sleeve 6, and the lip-shaped seal ring 14 is in contact with a sidewall of the valve disc 2, such that the lip-shaped seal ring 14 is a seal between the upper sleeve 5 and the lower sleeve 6, and is a seal between the upper sleeve 5 and the valve disc 2.

[0049] Specifically, the valve disc 2 is at least provided with one balance hole 15. The balance hole 15 is configured to communicate the two spaces separated by the upper sleeve 5 with each other. Due to the fact that the balance hole 15 on the valve disc 2 balances the upper pressure and the lower pressure of the valve disc 2, the requirement for the lifting force is greatly reduced, and an operation torque is reduced.

Embodiment II

[0050] The present embodiment further provides a method for using an anti-static globe valve for hyperbaric oxygen. Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the method comprises the following steps: [0051] (a) installing a valve seat 3, a lower sleeve 6 and an upper sleeve 5 in a valve body 1 in sequence, and placing a lip-shaped seal ring 14 between the lower sleeve 6 and the upper sleeve 5; [0052] (b) placing a valve disc 2 fixedly connected with a valve stem 4 into the valve body along an inner wall of the upper sleeve 5, and fixing a bonnet 7 to the valve body 1 after the bonnet is sleeved on the valve stem 4; [0053] (c) installing an actuating mechanism on the bonnet 7 by a support 12, and connecting the screw 9 to the valve stem 4 by a connecting clamp block 13; [0054] (d) conveying an assembled anti-static globe valve for hyperbaric oxygen to a connecting position of a pipeline, and hermetically connecting two air ports of the valve body 1 to the pipeline; [0055] (e) rotating the actuating mechanism in a forward direction to cause the actuating mechanism to drive the nut 10 to rotate and the screw rod 9 meshed with the nut 10 to move linearly, thereby enabling the valve stem 4 to drive the valve disc 2 to move upwards along the inner wall of the upper sleeve 5, causing an end of the lower sleeve 6 to be opened such that the anti-static globe valve for hyperbaric oxygen is opened to enable a medium to flow along an air channel of the valve body 1; [0056] (f) during opening of the valve, enabling the medium from one space of the upper sleeve to reach the other space of the upper sleeve 5 through a balance hole 15 to reduce the pressure difference between the two spaces, thus reducing an operation torque; [0057] (g) rotating the actuating mechanism in a reverse direction to cause the valve stem 4 to drive the valve disc 2 to move downwards along the inner wall of the upper sleeve 5, causing the end of the lower sleeve 6 to be gradually closed, such that the anti-static glove valve for hyperbaric oxygen is closed to cut off the flowing of the medium in the air channel of the valve body 1; [0058] (h) taking out the valve disc 2, the upper sleeve 5, the lower sleeve 6, the lip-shaped seal ring 14 or the valve seat 3 for replacement only by opening the bonnet 7 when a component inside the anti-static glove valve for hyperbaric oxygen is damaged. Such structure has the advantages that the online maintenance of the valve body 1 may be achieved without taking down the valve body from the pipeline.

[0059] The valve disc and the valve stem of the anti-static globe valve for hyperbaric oxygen are of an integrated structure, such that the valve disc is free of rotational friction and always moves up and down during opening and closing. No friction phenomenon exists between two sealing surfaces at the moment the valve disc is closed, and thus static electricity is effectively avoided, and the safety of the globe valve is improved. The valve disc is further provided with a balance hole on the valve disc and the pressure difference between an inlet and an outlet of the valve body is isolated by the seal ring. Due to the fact that the balance hole on the valve disc balances the upper pressure and the lower pressure of the valve disc, the requirement for lifting force is greatly lowered, and thus the operation torque is greatly reduced.

[0060] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, and does not limit the scope of the present disclosure. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art according to the above valve disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
