  • Patent number: 12460744
    Abstract: Disclosed are an assembly for preventing clamping stagnation of a valve rod, and a valve structure and method for preventing clamping stagnation of a valve rod. The assembly for preventing clamping stagnation of a valve rod includes a rigid ring and an elastic ring. The rigid ring is coaxially sleeved in the elastic ring, and the inner wall of the rigid ring is of a straight cylindrical structure. A valve rod can move up and down along the inner wall of the rigid ring under the guidance of the rigid ring and forms a sliding pair together with the rigid ring. The joint between the rigid ring and the valve rod is closed. The assembly for preventing clamping stagnation of a valve rod is simple in structure, convenient to manufacture, and suitable for most valves having elongated valve rod structures.

  • Patent number: 12181062
    Abstract: A hydrogen pressure-reducing valve having automatic pressure-relief and cut-off functions and a method therefor. The hydrogen pressure-reducing valve includes a main pressure-reducing valve and a cut-off valve. The cut-off valve includes a gas flow inlet, a valve rod whose disposed with a cut-off valve element, and a gas flow outlet. The gas flow inlet is used to connect with an external gas inlet pipe. The gas flow outlet communicates with the adjustment channel. A target gas enters the adjustment channel through the gas flow outlet and act on a second disc-shaped end part. The valve rod is disposed with a pressure-relief channel whose includes a control end and an exhaust end. The exhaust end communicates with the outside world. The control end communicated with a valve body inner cavity of the cut-off valve when the cut-off valve element is closed, and closed when the cut-off valve element is opened.
