Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of butterfly valves, and in particular relates to a percentage butterfly valve and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional butterfly valve structure Fig. 9 As shown, it includes a valve body 100 , a valve plate 200 , a valve shaft 300 , a positioning pin 400 , a hydraulic regulating control device 500 , a valve position feedback positioner 600 , a valve body sealing seat 700 , and a sealing ring 800 .

[0003] The working principle is as follows: the hydraulic regulating control device 500 of the valve drives the valve plate 200 to rotate within a range of 90° relative to the valve body 100 through the valve shaft 300 and the positioning pin 400, thereby realizing full-stroke adjustment of the valve from fully closed to fully open.

[0004] The traditional regulating butterfly valve has the following shortcomings: 1. The regulating linearity of the valve in the full opening range is very poor, and the flow rate changes sharply when the valve is opened within the range of 0 to 30 degrees. Fig.10 As shown, the flow rate of the valve changes slightly within the range of 30 to 90°.

[0005] 2. Because the flow rate changes sharply when the valve is operated at a small opening within the range of 0-30° and is prone to harmful factors such as noise, vibration, cavitation, etc. The overall service life of the valve is greatly reduced when it is operated at a small opening for a long time.

[0006] 2. The valve has large torque during the switching process. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention aims at the above-mentioned problem and provides a butterfly valve with approximate percentage regulation and a control method thereof.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme. The percentage butterfly valve of the present invention includes a valve body, which is characterized in that: a first valve plate, a second valve plate, a third valve plate and a fourth valve plate are arranged in sequence from top to bottom in the valve body, and a first control cylinder, a second control cylinder and a third control cylinder are arranged on the side of the valve body, the first control cylinder is connected to the first axis of the first valve plate; the second control cylinder is connected to the third axis of the third valve plate; the third control cylinder is connected to the second valve plate and the fourth valve plate through a synchronous linkage component.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the present invention, energy dissipation flow ribs are provided on the surfaces of the first valve plate and the fourth valve plate.

[0010] Further, the cross-sections of the first valve plate and the fourth valve plate are both rhombus-shaped, and the rhombus is formed by a first side, a second side, a third side and a fourth side. The first side of the first valve plate is provided with an overlapping side that cooperates with the valve body, and the third side of the first valve plate is provided with an overlapping side that cooperates with the second valve plate; the energy dissipation flow ribs are provided on the first side and the third side of the first valve plate; one side of the energy dissipation flow rib is a straight side, and the other side is an arcuate side, the arcuate side corresponds to one side of the overlapping side, and the straight side corresponds to the second side or the fourth side of the first valve plate; the first side of the fourth valve plate is provided with an overlapping side that cooperates with the third valve plate, and the third side of the fourth valve plate is provided with an overlapping side that cooperates with the valve body; the energy dissipation flow ribs are provided on the second side and the fourth side of the fourth valve plate; the arcuate side of the energy dissipation flow rib corresponds to one side of the overlapping side, and the straight side corresponds to the first side or the third side of the fourth valve plate.

[0011] As another preferred scheme of the present invention, the synchronous linkage assembly includes a first rocker arm having one end connected to the third control cylinder, and the middle part of the first rocker arm is connected to the fourth axis of the fourth valve plate; the other end of the first rocker arm is connected to one end of a connecting rod; the other end of the connecting rod is connected to one end of the second rocker arm, and the other end of the second rocker arm is connected to the second axis of the second valve plate.

[0012] The control method of the percentage butterfly valve of the present invention is characterized by comprising: an initial stage, a second stage and a third stage:

[0013] Initial stage: The first valve plate starts to work, and the first control cylinder drives the first valve plate to rotate and open.

[0014] The second stage: when the first valve plate is opened 40-60°, the third valve plate is put into operation under the control of the second control cylinder. The third valve plate is put into operation to supplement the first valve plate in time when it is opened 40-60° to adjust the flow decline and shortage.

[0015] The third stage: when the first valve plate is fully open and the third valve plate is opened 40-60°, the second valve plate and the fourth valve plate are put into operation under the action of the third control cylinder and the synchronous linkage assembly. In this stage, the second valve plate and the fourth valve plate are put into operation to supplement the first valve plate and the third valve plate in time when they are opened 40-60° to adjust the flow decline and shortage.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0017] 1. The present invention can adjust each valve plate by partial differential adjustment, thereby overcoming the shortcoming of very poor adjustment linearity of the traditional rainbow butterfly valve within the full opening range, and realizing approximately equal percentage adjustment within the full stroke range of the butterfly valve.

[0018] The present invention can realize stable flow regulation at small opening.

[0019] The present invention overcomes the problems of rapid flow change and easy noise, vibration, cavitation and other problems of traditional butterfly valves under small opening by using energy dissipation flow ribs, thus greatly improving the overall service life of the valve.
