The outer edge of the piston portion 43 is coupled to the gas chamber 175 to effect a reciprocating motion, and the tail end of the valve shaft 4 penetrates the center through hole 621 of the valve upper cover 6. The gas cylinder structure 8 is positioned above the heat transfer restriction areas 147.

(38) The above-described plurality of horizontal ribbed plates 253, the longitudinal vertical ribbed plates 254, and a plurality of the transverse vertical ribbed plates 255 connect with the inlet pipe 21, the outlet pipe 22, and the flow channel side wall 233, which do not have the problem of accumulated thickness 9163 of the prior art.

(39) The lower annular ribbed plates 432 is coupled to the second annular recess 55, the configuration between the two of which forms a sliding fit, and provides a damping effect to reduce vibration when the diaphragm is being displaced up and down.

(40) The gas cylinder structure 8 is supported by the structure of the annular portion 24, ensuring rigid support of the shaft hole portion 53 as well as ensuring perpendicularity and concentricity of the valve shaft 4. The external ring surface 246 fitted with the heat dissipation ribbed plates 248 provides additional supporting force for the gas cylinder structure 8. Because the external ring surfaces 51 of the upper valve body 5 are all assembled on the inner side of the annular portion 24, thus, the piston portion 43 transmits actuation gas pressure and spring vibration of the gas chamber 175 to the valve body 2, that is, the structure of the valve body 2 is able to absorb and bear the tightening force, and will not produce structural creeping and come loose. Moreover, the gas cylinder structure 8 is positioned above the heat transfer restriction areas 147, and the upper valve body 5 provided with the heat transfer restriction areas 147 enables minimizing heat transmission of the heat source areas, which further enables maintaining the strength of the gas cylinder structure 8.

(41) The annular portion 24 and the valve box 23 construct a cup-shaped structure 26, which assumes a deep cup shape.

(42) A heat dissipation method for the heat separation method of the present invention comprises an external natural cooling 15 and an internal cooling 16, wherein the external natural cooling 15 uses the square portion 25 of the valve body 2, the heat dissipation ribbed plates 248 of the annular portion 24, and heat dissipation ribbed plates 633 of the valve upper cover 6 to carry out natural-convection cooling. The internal cooling 16 is achieved through an internal cooling flow channel, which includes one or more than one said coolant gas holes 162 of the valve body 2, a coolant gas ring groove 163, a plurality of the coolant gas guide holes 164 of the upper valve body 5, a diaphragm space 165 of the diaphragm chamber 56 of the upper valve body 5, a plurality of the gas guide holes 426 of the valve shaft 4, and the axis hole 425 of the hollow shaft rod 42. The internal cooling 16 is separated into internal natural cooling and internal forced cooling, wherein the internal natural cooling uses rising force of high temperature gas in the hollow shaft rod 42 to assist the external cooling gas to enter the internal cooling flow channel to achieve the objective of expelling quantities of heat. The internal forced cooling consists of externally forcing cooling gas through the internal cooling flow channel to achieve the objective of expelling quantities of heat. In addition, the square plate 251 and the horizontal ribbed plates 253, the longitudinal vertical ribbed plates 254, and the transverse vertical ribbed plates 255 are all provided with a heat transfer section thickness, which lies between 1 centimeter to not exceeding the thicknesses of the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22, to the extent of being less than 3 mm. The heat dissipation ribbed plate 625 is provided with a heat transfer section thickness, which lies between 1 centimeter to not exceeding the thicknesses of the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22, to the extent of being less than 3 mm. The annular portion 24 is provided with a heat transfer section thickness, and the heat transfer section thickness of the minimum diameter area 242 is less than the heat transfer section thickness at other positions of the annular portion 24, wherein the heat transfer section thickness of the minimum diameter area 242 lies between 1 centimeter to not exceeding the thicknesses of the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22, to the extent of being less than 3 mm. Such a configuration enables providing heat dissipation effectiveness and sufficient structural strength.

(43) The different forms of the diaphragm of the present invention include the non-metallic diaphragm valve 1a and a metallic diaphragm valve, wherein the non-metallic diaphragm valve 1a can be separated into a non-metal normally closed diaphragm valve and a non-metallic normally open diaphragm valve. The metallic diaphragm valve can be separated into a metallic normally closed diaphragm valve and a metallic normally open diaphragm valve. An electrostatic diaphragm valve can be derived from the first two types.

(44) The external ring surface 246 of the annular portion 24 of the valve body 2 is differentiated into a non-metallic annular portion 24a configured with external threaded teeth 247 or a metallic annular portion 24b configured with a plurality of bolt sleeves 13. The bolt sleeves 13 are positioned above the heat transfer restriction areas 147.

(45) The square portion 25 of the valve body 2 is differentiated into a first molded square portion 25a and a second molded square portion 25b.

(46) The first molded square portion 25a is consisted of the square plate 251, a plurality of the longitudinal vertical ribbed plates 254, a plurality of the horizontal ribbed plates 253, and a plurality of the transverse vertical ribbed plates 255. The lower structure of the square plate 251 of the first molded square portion 25a is used to support the inlet pipe 21, the outlet pipe 22, and the flow channel 232, and further constructs a lattice-shaped ribbed plate with a plurality of horizontal openings. Moreover, the longitudinal vertical ribbed plates 254 lie below the square plate 251 and connect the upper sides and lower sides of the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22. The horizontal ribbed plates 253 are on two sides as well as the lower portions of the inlet pipe 21, the outlet pipe 22, and the flow channel 232; whereas the transverse vertical ribbed plates 255 transversely cross over the inlet pipe 21, the outlet pipe 22, and the flow channel 232.

The lower structure of the square plate 251 of the second molded square portion 25b is used to support the inlet pipe 21, the outlet pipe 22, and the flow channel 232, and further constructs a structure with horizontal openings. The longitudinal vertical ribbed plates 254 lies below the square plate 251 and connects the upper side of the inlet pipe 21 and the upper side of the outlet pipe 22. The transverse vertical ribbed plate 255 transversely crosses over the lower sides of the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22. That is, the square portion 25 includes a first side surface, a second side surface, and a bottom surface, and the longitudinal vertical ribbed plates 254, the horizontal ribbed plate 253, and the transverse vertical ribbed plate 255 form the lattice-shaped ribbed plates on any one of, any two of, or all of the first side surface, the second side surface, and the bottom surface.

(48) The valve body 2 is formed by ejection or extrusion molding using PFA (PolyFluoroAlkoxy), in which the lattice-shaped ribbed plates with horizontal openings are formed from horizontal sliding of two slide blocks. Therefore, the external surfaces of the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22 from the space between a horizontal center line to the square plate 251 will not accumulate the PFA material as the accumulated thickness 9163 of the prior art does. Moreover, the four corners at the lowest side of the square portion 25 can still use four screw caps and bolts to fix the valve body 2 on the mounting plate 10a 1.

(49) The valve shaft 4 can also be differentiated into a rotatable valve shaft and a fixed valve shaft.

(50) The locking portion 41 of the rotatable valve shaft is provided with a bolt hole 411, which is used to fix a bolt 416 therein. After the bolt 416 penetrates the bolt hole 411, a screw cap 414 is screwed thereon and then tightened in the screw hole 331 of the diaphragm 3. The screw cap 414 reversely tightens the diaphragm 3; moreover, the external diameter of the bolt 416 is smaller than the diameter of the bolt hole 411 so as to retain a radial clearance.

(51) The locking portion 41 of the fixed valve shaft is provided with a threaded teeth portion 413, which is used to screw tight into the screw hole 331 of the diaphragm 3.

(52) The rotatable valve shaft can be further differentiated into a normally closed valve shaft 4ac and a normally open valve shaft 4ad, wherein the lower side of the piston portion 43 of the normally closed valve shaft 4ac is provided with an additional shock absorption ring 434, which is coupled to the first annular recess 54. The upper side of the piston portion 43 of the normally closed valve shaft 4ac is installed with springs, which ensure that the diaphragm valve 1 is in a normally closed state, and the configuration between the two forms a sliding fit that provides a damping effect to reduce vibration during up and down displacement of the diaphragm 3. The lower side of the piston portion 43 of the normally open valve shaft 4ad bears the force of the springs installed inside the first annular recess 54 to ensure that the diaphragm valve is in a normally open state.

(53) The fixed valve shaft 4b can be differentiated into a normally closed valve shaft 4bc and a normally open valve shaft 4bd, wherein the lower side of the piston portion 43 of the normally closed valve shaft 4bc is provided with the additional shock absorption ring 434, which is coupled to the first annular recess 54. The upper side of the piston portion 43 of the normally closed valve shaft 4bc is installed with springs, which ensure that the diaphragm valve 1 is in a normally closed state, the configuration between the two of which forms a sliding fit that provides a damping effect to reduce vibration during up and down displacement of the diaphragm 3. The lower side of the piston portion 43 of the normally open valve shaft 4bd bears the force of the springs installed inside the first annular recess 54 to ensure that the diaphragm valve is in a normally open state.

(54) The upper valve body 5 can be differentiated into an external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a and a protruding edge upper valve body 5b. The external ring surface 51 of the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a is configured with the external threaded teeth 511, whereas the external ring surface 51 of the protruding edge upper valve body 5b is configured with a radial protruding edge 512.

(55) The valve upper cover 6 can be differentiated into a non-metallic valve upper cover 6a and a metallic valve upper cover 6b. The non-metallic valve upper cover 6a is configured with internal threaded teeth 632, whereas the metallic valve upper cover 6b is configured with no internal threaded teeth 632 but the external ring portion 63 thereof is provided with a plurality of the bolt sleeves 13.

(56) The valve shaft set structure 7 includes the diaphragm 3, the upper valve body 5, and the valve shaft 4, and can be differentiated into an external threaded teeth valve shaft set 71 and a protruding ring valve shaft set 72. The external threaded teeth valve shaft set 71 uses the rotatable valve shaft and the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a, whereas the protruding ring valve shaft set 72 uses the fixed valve shaft and the protruding edge upper valve body 5b. Moreover, an electrostatic valve shaft set 73 can be formed by inserting a conductive fibre 44 into the above-described valve shaft set structure 7, with the conductive fibre 44 passing through the axis hole 425 and then through the locking portion 41, finally being fitted to the non-liquid contact side surface of the diaphragm 3 in an annular curved line fashion. Using the rotatable valve shaft, the conductive fibre 44 is able to pass through the radial clearance of the bolt hole 411, whereas using the fixed valve shaft, the conductive fibre 44 is able to pass through the gas guide hole 426.

(57) The gas chamber 175 of the gas cylinder structure 8 is named as an annular gas chamber 176 while being installed on the annular portion 24b, and is named as a valve upper cover gas chamber 177 while being installed on the valve upper cover 6b. The annular gas chamber 176 must use a rotatable valve shaft set, whereas the valve upper cover gas chamber 177, because of its structure, a rotatable valve shaft set or a fixed valve shaft set is chosen.

(58) The gas cylinder structure 8 is differentiated into a non-metallic gas cylinder structure 8a and a metallic gas cylinder structure 8b. The non-metallic gas cylinder structure 8a is lock tightened by using threaded teeth between the non-metallic annular portion 24a and the non-metallic valve upper cover 6a, which is also the origin of the non-metallic diaphragm valve. Each of the four corners of the metallic gas cylinder structure 8b is tightened and sealed by a metal bolt, which tighten and seal the metallic annular portion 24b and the metallic valve upper cover 6b. Each of the bolts is protected by the bolt sleeve 13 that includes an upper bolt sleeve 131 and a lower bolt sleeve 132, which is also the origin of the metallic diaphragm valve.

(59) Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D, FIG. 3A, FIG. 3C, FIG. 4A, FIG. 5A, which show the first embodiment of the present invention, wherein the non-metallic normally closed diaphragm valve 1a made from fluororesin comprises the valve body 2, an external threaded teeth normally closed valve shaft set 71a, and the non-metallic valve upper cover 6a, which are able to provide a practical heat separation method. The valve body 2 includes the inlet pipe 21, the outlet pipe 22, the valve box 23, the non-metallic annular portion 24a, and the first molded square portion 25a, wherein the non-metallic annular portion 24a is provided with the annular gas chamber 176. The external threaded teeth normally closed valve shaft set 71a uses the normally closed valve shaft 4ac. The annular portion 24a, the external threaded teeth normally closed valve shaft set 71a, and the non-metallic upper cover 6a construct the non-metallic gas cylinder structure 8a, which is lock tightened using threaded teeth of the annular portion 24a and the non-metallic upper cover 6a.

(60) The ribbed plates of the lattice of horizontal openings of the first molded square portion 25a are produced using an injection or extrusion molded of PFA, with the lattice ribbed plates with horizontal openings being formed by horizontal sliding of two slide blocks. The lowest layered vertical open-ended lattice ribbed plate is formed by vertical sliding of slide blocks, therefore, the external surfaces of the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22 from the space between a horizontal center line to the square plate 251 will not accumulate the PFA material as the accumulated thickness 9163 of the prior art does.

(61) The non-metallic annular portion 24a is provided with the minimum diameter area 242 at one end connecting to the first square portion 25a, and the external ring surface 246 thereof is fitted with the heat dissipation ribbed plates 248. The seal groove 245 is configured at the minimum diameter area 242. The internal side wall of the seal groove 245 is the flow channel side wall 233 while the external side wall is the internal ring surface 243, and the bottom of the seal groove 245 is the square plate 251, which are used to contain the peripheral portion 31 of the diaphragm 3 and bear the tightening pressure of the upper valve body 5 to achieve sealing effectiveness. When the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22 are full with high temperature, high pressure liquid causing distortion thereof, separation by the longitudinal vertical ribbed plates 254 ensures that the square plate 251 can substantially minimize distortion. Moreover, the heat dissipation ribbed plate 248 and the structure of the minimum diameter area 242, as well as the cup-shaped structure 26 and the outer edge height 261 (H) enable maintaining the roundness of the seal groove 245.

(62) The external threaded teeth 247 are configured on the external ring surface of the opening portion 241, and are used to screw tighten the non-metallic valve upper cover 6a. The internal ring surface 243 is also configured with internal threaded teeth 244 and used to screw tighten the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a. The external threaded teeth 247 overlap the internal threaded teeth 244 by a specific length, which is at least over and above two tooth spaces of the internal threaded teeth 244, thereby enabling providing a structure of high strength.

(63) The coolant gas connection 161 and the actuation gas connection 171 are fitted to the upper side of the minimum diameter area 242, with a separation space positioned on the upper side of the square plate 251, that is, positioned on the upper side of the heat transfer restriction areas 147.

(68) Referring to FIG. 4A and FIG. 5A, which show the external threaded teeth normally closed valve shaft set 71a applied in a non-metallic normally closed diaphragm valve using the normally closed valve shaft 4ac and the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a. The gas chamber 175 installed on the inner side of the non-metallic annular portion 24a is the annular gas chamber 176. The external threaded teeth normally closed valve shaft set 71a is assembled from the diaphragm 3, the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a, and the normally closed valve shaft 4ac.

(69) Referring to FIG. 4B and FIG. 5B, which show an external threaded teeth normally open valve shaft set 71b applied in a metallic normally open diaphragm valve using a rotatable valve shaft and the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a. The dissimilarity with FIG. 4A lies in that the gas chamber 175 is installed on the metallic valve upper cover 6b and forms the valve upper cover gas chamber 177. The external threaded teeth valve shaft set 71 is assembled from the diaphragm 3, the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a, and the normally open valve shaft 4ad.

(70) Referring to FIG. 5A, which shows the gas cylinder structure 8a of the annular gas chamber 176, and uses the external threaded teeth normally closed valve shaft set 71a applied in a non-metallic normally closed diaphragm valve using the normally closed valve shaft 4ac and the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a. The gas chamber 175 is installed on the inner side of the non-metallic annular portion 24a and forms the annular gas chamber 176.

(71) Referring to FIG. 5B, which shows the metallic gas cylinder structure 8b, and uses the external threaded teeth normally closed valve shaft set 71a applied in a metallic normally closed diaphragm valve using the normally closed valve shaft 4ac and the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a. The dissimilarities with FIG. 5A lie in that the gas chamber 175 is installed on the inner side of the metallic valve upper cover 6b and forms the valve upper cover gas chamber 177. The external threaded teeth valve shaft set 71 is assembled from the diaphragm 3, the external threaded teeth upper valve body 5a, and the normally closed valve shaft 4ac.

(72) Referring to FIG. 1B, FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C, FIG. 2D, FIG. 3B, FIG. 4D, and FIG. 5C, which show a second embodiment of the present invention, wherein a metallic normally open diaphragm valve made from fluororesin comprises the valve body 2, the protruding ring valve shaft set 72, and the metallic valve upper cover 6b. The valve body 2 includes the inlet pipe 21, the outlet pipe 22, the valve box 23, the metallic annular portion 24b, and the second molded square portion 25b; and is provided with internal cooling. The internal ring surface 243 of the metallic annular portion 24b is used to assemble the protruding ring valve shaft set 72 thereon. The interior of the metallic valve upper cover 6b is installed with the gas chamber 175. The protruding ring valve shaft set 72 uses the normally open valve shaft 4bd, the annular portion 24b, the protruding ring valve shaft set 72, and the metallic valve upper cover 6b to construct the metallic gas cylinder structure 8b. The metallic gas cylinder structure 8b is tightly fastened by the metallic annular portion 24b and the metallic valve upper cover 6b using metallic bolts; moreover, the protruding ring valve shaft set 72 is clamped and sealed on the radial protruding edge 512 by the metallic annular portion 24b and the metallic valve upper cover 6b.

(73) The metallic valve upper cover 6b assumes a cup shape and is assembled on the metallic annular portion 24b. The metallic valve upper cover 6b and the protruding ring valve shaft set 72 together with the metallic annular portion 24b construct the gas cylinder structure 8b, which is provided with the valve upper cover gas chamber 177 that is positioned above the heat transfer restriction areas 147.

(74) The four corner portions of the metallic valve upper cover 6b and the metallic annular portion 24b respectively hold the bolt sleeves 13, which are fitted above the minimum diameter area of the annular portion 24 and positioned so as to have a space separating them from the square plate 251, that is, positioned above the heat transfer restriction areas 147, thereby preventing the thick and solid structure of the bolt sleeves 13 from becoming a large heat transfer area, resulting in failure of heat source separation. The interior of each of the lower bolt sleeves 132 on the metallic annular portion 24b is provided with a metallic internal threaded teeth socket, which metal bolts can use to tightly fasten and seal the sealing face 240. An upper sealing face 133 is provided between the upper bolt sleeves 131 and the lower bolt sleeves 132 to prevent the metal bolts from corrosion.

(75) The metallic valve upper cover 6b and the metallic annular portion 24b are respectively fitted with a gas column 11 at the side of the inlet pipe 21 or the side of the outlet pipe 22, and next to the bolt sleeves 13. The coolant gas connection 161 and the actuation gas connection 171 are respectively installed on the metallic valve upper cover 6b, wherein the actuation gas connection 171 communicates directly with the gas chamber 175. The coolant gas hole 162 and the actuation gas hole 172 are provided on the valve upper cover 6 and the annular portion 24, respectively. Two gas columns 169 on a sealing face 113 are also each installed with an O-shaped ring to seal and ensure gas tightness. Moreover, the gas columns 169 are installed above the minimum diameter area of the annular portion 24 and positioned so as to have a space separating them from the square plate 251, that is, positioned above the heat transfer restriction areas 147, thereby preventing the thick and solid structure of the gas columns 169 from becoming large heat transfer areas, resulting in failure of heat source separation.

(76) Actuation gas is actuated by passing through the actuation gas connection 171 to the upper side of the piston 43. The outer edge of the piston 43 is coupled to the gas chamber 175 to effect a reciprocating motion.

(77) The internal cooling 16 uses internal forced cooling 16b, wherein the coolant gas passes through the coolant gas connection 161, then through the coolant gas hole 162 and enters the coolant gas ring groove 163; thereon the coolant gas passes through a plurality of the coolant gas guide holes 164 and enters the non-liquid contact side of the diaphragm 3 of the diaphragm space 165, finally passing through the gas guide holes 426 to enter an axis hole 167, and expelled from a gas recovery connection 168. The internal forced cooling 16b carries out better cooling of the peripheral portion 31 of the diaphragm 3, and thus is able to maintain the tightening force of the tightening portion 52. Moreover, the heat will not easily dissipate outward from the fluororesin O-rings on the valve shaft 4 and the piston portion 43 but is able to dissipate through a hollow axis channel 158, ensuring both concentricity and perpendicularity of the valve shaft 4.

(78) The tightening and sealing effectiveness of the present invention ensures high structural strength, resistance to surrounding corrosive gas, and endurance to the reciprocating motion of a piston.

(79) Regarding the structural strength, the gas cylinder structure, the four bolt sleeves 13 and the gas columns 11 are all positioned above the minimum diameter area 242 of the annular portion 24, and also positioned above the square plate 51, as well as being positioned above the heat transfer restriction areas 147. Actuation gas pressure from piston movement and vibrations from the springs 12 are all transferred to the valve body 2, the structure of which is able to absorb and endure.

(80) Regarding resistance to surrounding corrosive gas, the cup-shaped structure 26 and the upper edge height 261 (H) enable distancing the metallic bolts from the position of the diaphragm 3, thereby reducing micro amounts of gas from penetrating the diaphragm 3 or corrosion from liquid entering, thus removing contamination problems from metallic oxide diffusion, and eliminating the need for operators and inspectors to inspect whether or not the bolts are corroded and need replacing.

(81) Regarding endurance to the reciprocating motion of a piston, the cup-shaped structure 26 and the upper edge height 261 (H) ensure firm support of the protruding edge upper valve body 5b. The protruding edge upper valve body 5b is not subjected to the force applied by the piston portion 43 and the pressure of the actuation gas, but provides a tightening force with high dependability to seal and minimize structural distortion and creeping. Further, the protruding edge upper valve body 5b will not reduce the tightening force and cause leakage from the diaphragm 3, thus ensuring concentricity and perpendicularity of the valve shaft 4b, as well as ensuring the tightening force of the peripheral portion 31 of the diaphragm 3, thereby minimizing leakage and extending the serviceable life thereof.
