Abstract

An on-off valve of the present invention includes a valve box which includes an inlet flow path of steam and an outlet flow path which communicates with the inlet flow path through a communication bole, a stop valve body which opens or closes the communication hole, and a stop valve support portion, in which the outlet flow path extends in a direction intersecting the opening direction of the communication hole toward a downstream side in a flow direction of the steam, and a minimum wall thickness of the valve box is smaller than a minimum wall thickness of the valve box.

Claims (35)

1. An on-off valve comprising:

a valve box which includes an inlet flow path of steam, and an outlet flow path which communicates with the inlet flow path through a communication hole on a downstream side in a flow direction of the steam;

a valve body which is configured to open or close the communication hole; and

a valve support portion which penetrates the valve box such that a portion of the valve support portion is disposed in the outlet flow path, is supported by the valve box on the outlet flow path side from the communication hole, and supports the valve body so as to be capable of operating the valve body in an opening direction of the communication hole,

wherein in an inner surface of the valve box forming the outlet flow path, an uneven portion is provided on an inner surface around the valve support portion,

wherein the outlet flow path extends in a direction intersecting the opening direction of the communication hole toward a downstream side, and

wherein a minimum wall thickness of the valve box on a side, which is positioned on a downstream side from the communication hole and is opposite to a side to which the outlet flow path extends across the valve support portion, is smaller than a minimum wall thickness of the valve box on an upstream side from the communication hole.

2. The on-off valve according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a metal member which is fixed to an outer surface of the valve box on the downstream side from the communication hole.

3. The on-off valve according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a drive unit which is fixed to the valve box on the downstream side from the communication hole and configured to drive the valve support portion,

wherein a gap is provided between the drive unit and the valve box on the side opposite to the side to which the outlet flow path extends across the valve support portion.

4. A steam turbine comprising:

a steam flow path; and

the on-off valve according to claim 1 provided in the steam flow path.

5. An on-off valve comprising:

a valve box which includes an inlet flow path of steam, and an outlet flow path which communicates with the inlet flow path through a communication hole on a downstream side in a flow direction of the steam;

a valve body which is configured to open or close the communication hole;

a valve support portion which penetrates the valve box such that a portion of the valve support portion is disposed in the outlet flow path, is supported by the valve box on the outlet flow path side from the communication hole, and supports the valve body so as to be capable of operating the valve body in an opening direction of the communication hole; and

a metal member which is fixed to an outer surface of the valve box on a downstream side from the communication hole and on a side to which the outlet flow path extends across the valve support portion,

wherein the outlet flow path extends in a direction intersecting the opening direction of the communication hole toward a downstream side.

6. A steam turbine comprising:

a steam flow path; and

the on-off valve according to claim 5 provided in the steam flow path.

7. An on-off valve comprising:

a valve box which includes an inlet flow path of steam, and an outlet flow path which communicates with the inlet flow path through a communication hole on a downstream side in a flow direction of the steam;

a valve body which is configured to open or close the communication hole;

a valve support portion which penetrates the valve box such that a portion of the valve support portion is disposed in the outlet flow path, is supported by the valve box on the outlet flow path side from the communication hole, and supports the valve body so as to be capable of operating the valve body in an opening direction of the communication hole;

a metal member which is fixed to an outer surface of the valve box on a downstream side from the communication hole and on a side to which the outlet flow path extends across the valve support portion; and

a drive unit which is fixed to the valve box on the downstream side from the communication hole and configured to drive the valve support portion,

wherein the outlet flow path extends in a direction intersecting the opening direction of the communication hole toward the downstream side, and

wherein a gap is provided between the drive unit and the valve box on a side opposite to a side to which the outlet flow path extends across the valve support portion.

8. A steam turbine comprising:

a steam flow path; and

the on-off valve according to claim 7 provided in the steam flow path.
