Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of diaphragm valves, and in particular to a torque overload protection hand wheel and a valve. Background Art

[0002] A handwheel is a mechanical device that is usually used to manually operate the rotation of a device or mechanical part. It provides an interface that can be turned manually, allowing the operator to control the device or valve connected to it by applying force.

[0003] Diaphragm valves are used as isolation valves in nuclear power plant systems. The valve disc uses a rubber valve core, and most of the operation methods use a rotating valve handwheel to open, close or adjust the valve. In order to ensure the reliability of system isolation, operators usually use a large force to operate the valve handwheel. The rubber disc of the diaphragm valve is often crushed due to excessive operating force, and the valve seal fails. Nuclear power plants generally have a high defect rate of manual diaphragm valves, and the majority of valve failures are caused by disc crushing.

[0004] The current measures mainly involve developing a set of systematic maintenance strategies and plans. Through regular maintenance and inspection, valve failures can be prevented, service life can be extended, and reliability can be improved, thereby reducing accidents and maintenance costs. It mainly includes the following aspects: (1) Regular inspection: According to the operating characteristics and historical data of the valve, a regular inspection schedule is set to conduct scheduled inspections and tests, such as temperature, pressure, vibration and other indicators. (2) Maintenance tasks: Specific maintenance tasks are formulated for different types of equipment and their valves, and the operations that need to be performed are clearly defined, such as lubrication, cleaning, adjustment, etc. (3) Recording and evaluation: After each maintenance, detailed records are made, including maintenance content, test results, materials used, time spent, etc., to facilitate subsequent evaluation and analysis. (4) Risk assessment: By analyzing operating data, possible risk points are evaluated, so as to formulate corresponding maintenance plans and key inspection contents.

[0005] The above preventive maintenance strategy can significantly reduce the frequency of failures and improve the overall protection level of valve equipment, but it increases the cost of maintenance and may also lead to inconsistency between planned maintenance and actual needs. At the same time, preventive maintenance mainly focuses on regular maintenance and cannot completely prevent valve sealing failure caused by operating errors.

The retaining frame is arranged between the driven plate and the driving plate, and the opposite two ends of each ball are respectively pressed into the spherical groove on the driven plate and the corresponding spherical groove on the driving plate.

[0016] As one embodiment of the present invention, a sink is provided in the middle through hole of the driving disk for positioning the first end of the transmission sleeve, and a positioning boss is provided at one end of the driving disk close to the driven disk for positioning the mounting bracket.

[0023] (1) A torque overload protection handwheel and valve of the present invention, the driving disc of the driving unit and the driven disc of the driven unit are arranged in the installation cavity and are connected in a rolling manner. When the driven disc and the driving disc are connected in a rolling manner, the disc spring assembly of the disc spring unit provides a pressing force to ensure close contact between the two and effectively transmit torque. When the driven disc and the driving disc are separated and need to be reset, the disc spring assembly provides a thrust to the driven disc, and the ball falls back into the spherical groove on the end surface of the driving disc and the driven disc by relying on the thrust transmitted by the driven disc and its own gravity, re-realizing the rolling connection between the driven disc and the driving disc, and resetting the torque transmission function; by adding a ball-disc spring structure to the handwheel operating ring, the overload protection of the handwheel during operation is realized. When the operating torque is too large, the torque protection function will be triggered and the handwheel will idle; the ball-disc spring type dynamic load torque protection is adopted, so that the axial component of the handwheel operating force does not directly act on the disc spring assembly, which can not only balance the wear of the ball, but also improve the accuracy of the torque overload protection value. Therefore, valves with torque overload protection handwheels fundamentally eliminate the valve disc crushing defect caused by large handwheel operating force, reduce valve failure rate, improve the reliability and life of diaphragm valves, and reduce diaphragm valve maintenance costs. For valves with radioactive media, it reduces the radiation dose of maintenance personnel, reduces the radioactive waste generated by valve disc damage, and reduces the cost of solid waste treatment.

[0024] (2) A torque overload protection handwheel and valve of the present invention also include a limit assembly. When the handwheel is overloaded, the driven disk is limited to the initial position when it is separated from the ball, thereby reducing the wear of the ball and increasing the service life of the handwheel.

[0025] (3) The disc spring unit of a torque overload protection handwheel and valve of the present invention also includes a disc spring pressure plate and a clamping nut. The magnitude of the torque transmitted by the handwheel is controlled by tightening or loosening the clamping nut. The torque adjustment range is wide and can be adjusted according to the magnitude of the valve switching torque. It can adapt to valves of various calibers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0048] The retainer 41 adopts a ball retainer structure of a thrust ball bearing, which reduces the processing and manufacturing cost of the handwheel.

[0058] In summary, the working principle of the valve of the present invention is:

[0059] The overload protection handwheel is installed on the valve shaft 8 of the valve, and the key connection structure between the valve shaft 8 and the transmission sleeve 22 is used as an example. By rotating the handwheel operating ring 10, the drive sleeve 11 and the drive disk 2 are driven to rotate. The rotating handwheel operating ring 10 and the drive sleeve 11 are rigidly connected, and the drive sleeve 11 and the drive disk 2 are splined; the drive disk 2 drives the retainer 41 to rotate, and the upper end surface of the drive disk 2 has evenly distributed spherical grooves 40, which match the outer spherical surface of the ball 42; the rotation of the retainer 41 drives the driven disk 21 to rotate, and the lower end surface of the driven disk 21 has evenly distributed spherical grooves 40, which match the outer spherical surface of the ball 42 The driven disc 21 drives the transmission sleeve 22 to rotate, and the driven disc 21 and the transmission sleeve 22 are connected by splines; when the force acting on the handwheel operating ring 10, i.e. the handwheel, is too large, the driven disc 21 squeezes the upper disc spring assembly 31, and when the lower end surface of the driven disc is separated from the ball 42, the limit pin 51 is clamped on the side wall of the sinking platform 212 on the outer cylindrical surface of the driven disc 21 under the action of the cylindrical spring 52, and the driven disc 21 is separated from the ball assembly 4, the driving disc 12 is in an idling state, and the torque overload protection takes effect. Pull out the puller 53, and rotate the handwheel operating ring 10 at the same time, so that the ball 42 of the ball assembly 4 falls into the spherical groove 40 on the end surface of the driving disc 12 and the driven disc 21, and the torque transmission function is reset. The magnitude of the handwheel transmission torque is controlled by tightening or loosening the clamping nut 33. When the clamping nut 33 rotates clockwise, the disc spring assembly 31 is compressed and the handwheel transmission torque increases. Conversely, when the clamping nut 33 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, the disc spring assembly 31 is extended and the handwheel transmission torque decreases.

[0060] With such a design, the rotation of the handwheel can work normally within a safe range, and in the case of overload, the load transmitted to the valve is reduced by the deformation of the disc spring assembly 31, thereby achieving the purpose of valve overload protection.

[0061] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
