Abstract
An improved greasing valve (10, 10′) for pressure devices especially suitable for being applied on plants for applications on pressure devices/plants/containers such as valves, pumps, conduits, compressors, turbines, boilers, tanks and the like, containing liquid or gas with the function of preventing leaks of liquid or gas and allowing pressure control in the plant in case of maintenance work and prior to removing components, the valve comprising devices for cutting off the fluid or gas, lubrication devices and control devices, with said axial and ball/pin sealing devices integrated and/or assembled to a body (12, 12′) of the same safety valve.
Claims7
An improved grease valve (10, 10′) for cutting off the fluid or gas in a conduit (14) in a pressure device, client or container and allowing pressure control in such plant, tank or container in case of maintenance work prior to removing components, comprising:
- a body (12, 12′) with profiled seat of said body (12, 12′), with a dowel (24), at least one seal or O-Ring (26), at least a first seat (28) and at least a second seat (30), a shutter (32) element interposed between said seats and, within a seat (35) made in a radial direction in said body (12, 12′) and communicating with said conduit (14), a gland (34) and at least one seal (36) arranged coaxially, a lever actuator (38) and a connecting stem between said lever actuator (38) and said shutter (32) element;
- a lubrication device defined by a greaser (22), stabilised to a threaded seat (18) of the conduit (14) of the body (12, 12′), comprising a greasing body (54) provided with a channel (56) and a further channel (58) coaxial to each other, a shutter (60) arranged within said further channel (58), a dowel (64) closing an end of the greater opposite the shutter (60) and a contrast spring (62) interposed between the same shutter and the dowel (64), said greaser also comprises a threaded cap (68) fitted on the opposite end relative to that of connection of said greaser with the body (12, 12′) of the grease valve (10,10′);
- control device,
- an axial ball/pin sealing devices integrated and/or assembled to the body (12, 12′) of said grease valve;
- the grease valve (10, 10′) characterised in that said control device is defined by a control valve (40) comprising a sliding shutter (42), a stopping dowel (44) and an elastic element defined by a helical spring (46) arranged between said sliding shutter (42) and stopping dowel (44), with said control valve (40) arranged in a space (16) coaxial to the conduit (14) of the body (12, 12′) of the valve (10, 10′), and said sliding shutter (42) and the stopping dowel (44) of the control valve (40) and the shutter (60) and the dowel (64) of the greaser (22) respectively exhibit, along the outside side surface, peripheral grooves (48, 48′) and (66, 66′) with helical pattern.
An improved grease valve (10, 10′) for cutting off the fluid or gas, in a conduit pressure devices (14), a body, with at least a first seat (28) and at least a second seat (30), a shutter (32) element interposed between said seats and a third seat (35) extending in a radial direction in said body (12, 12′) and communicating with said conduit (14), a lever actuator (38) and a connecting stem between said lever actuator (38) and said shutter (32) element, a lubricating device, a control device, a grease valve characterized in that control device is defined by a control valve (40) comprising a sliding shutter (42), a stopping dowel (44) and an elastic element defined by a helical spring (46) arranged between said sliding shutter (42) and stopping dowel (44), with said control valve (40) arranged in a space (16) coaxial to the conduit (14) of the body (12, 12′) of the valve (10, 10′);
- and an axial ball/pin sealing devices integrated and/or assembled to the body (12, 12′) of said grease valve.
