Vertical check valve: Due to the pressure of the medium at the inlet end of the pipeline, the valve can be opened or

closed by overcoming the spring resistance. When the medium pressure at the inlet end is lower than that at the outlet end, the spring pushes the valve core to the valve seat to close the valve, preventing the medium from flowing back, so it plays a role of check. Vertical check valves are widely used in chemical, liquefied petroleum gas, fluid and other industries. According to the structure of the check valve, it can be divided into three types: lift check valve, swing check valve and butterfly check valve.

Introduction of vertical check valve:
Vertical check valve refers to the valve that automatically opens and closes the disc depending on the flow of the medium itself to prevent the medium from flowing back. It is also called check valve, one-way valve, reverse flow valve, and back pressure valve. Check valve is a kind of automatic valve, its main function is to prevent the back flow of the medium, prevent the pump and drive motor from reversing, and discharge the container medium. Check valves can also be used to supply pipelines for auxiliary systems whose pressure may rise above the system pressure. Check valves can be divided into swing check valves (rotating according to the center of gravity) and lift check valves (moving along the axis).

The function of this type of valve is to only allow the medium to flow in one direction and to prevent the flow of direction. Usually this kind of valve works automatically. Under the action of the fluid pressure flowing in one direction, the valve flap opens; when the fluid flows in the opposite direction, the fluid pressure and the self-coincidence of the valve flap act on the valve seat, thereby cutting off the flow.

Among them, internal thread check valve and butterfly check valve belong to this type of valve, which includes swing check valve and lift check valve. The swing check valve has a hinge mechanism and a valve disc like a door that rests freely on the inclined valve seat surface. In order to ensure that the valve disc can reach the proper position of the valve seat surface every time, the valve disc is designed in a hinge mechanism so that the valve disc has enough space for turning and makes the valve disc come into contact with the valve seat truly and comprehensively. The valve clack can be made of metal, or inlaid with leather, rubber, or synthetic covering, depending on the performance requirements. When the swing check valve is fully opened, the fluid pressure is almost unimpeded, so the pressure drop through the valve is relatively small. The disc of the lift check valve is located on the sealing surface of the valve seat on the valve body. Except that the disc can be raised and lowered freely, the rest of the valve is like a shut-off valve. The fluid pressure lifts the disc from the seat sealing surface, and the backflow of the medium causes the disc to fall back onto the seat and cut off the flow. According to the conditions of use, the valve disc can be an all-metal structure, or it can be in the form of a rubber pad or a rubber ring embedded in the disc holder. Like a shut-off valve, the passage of fluid through the lift check valve is also narrow, so the pressure drop through the lift check valve is larger than that of the swing check valve, and the flow rate of the swing check valve is restricted Rarely.
