Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a gate valve body, and in particular to a high-temperature and high-pressure forged steel high-performance gate valve body with a guide groove and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The design of the existing high temperature and high pressure forged steel gate valve body is mainly as follows Figure 1 and 2 Two structures, Figure 1 The structure is that the interior of the valve body's central cavity is a three-way circular structure. In order to avoid interference with the central cavity seal and realize the processing of the guide groove, the inner diameter and wall thickness of the central cavity must be increased first, and then a tool withdrawal groove needs to be set. This leads to stress concentration in the valve body, a substantial increase in weight, and increased raw material costs; the three-way circular structure requires the design of a longer valve seat, which will also cause the gate design to be heavier.
[0003] Figure 2 The structure is a welded guide groove structure on both sides of the valve body cavity. This structure increases the number of welded parts and has hidden dangers in welding performance.
[0004] Figure 1 、 2 Common disadvantages: 1. The corner reinforcement of the tee is poor, that is, the theoretical calculation of the metal area and fluid area and the seismic performance are poor; 2. The valve seat is relatively long, the area under the medium pressure is large, and the sealing surface is easy to deform; 3. The valve seat weld is close to the welding grooves at both ends of the valve body, and there is a heat effect from welding. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to address the defects of the prior art and provides a high-temperature and high-pressure forged steel high-performance gate valve body with guide grooves and a manufacturing method thereof.
[0006] The present invention is achieved in that:
[0007] A high-temperature, high-pressure, forged steel, high-performance gate valve body with a guide groove, which includes a valve body, which is arranged on a valve seat. The valve body includes a vertical middle cavity, and a horizontal channel is provided on the valve seat.

[0010] As described above, a high-temperature, high-pressure, forged steel high-performance gate valve body with a guide groove, wherein the three-circle eccentric structure refers to a structure composed of three circles, the centers of which do not overlap.

[0012] As described above, a high-temperature, high-pressure, forged steel high-performance gate valve body with a guide groove, wherein the distance between the center circle (R) of the three-circle eccentric structure and the center position of the eccentric circle I (S) is X: 70mm, Y: 160, Z: 102.
[0013] As described above, a high-temperature and high-pressure forged steel high-performance gate valve body with a guide groove, wherein the distance between the center circle (R) of the three-circle eccentric structure and the center position of the eccentric circle II (T) is the same as above.
[0014] A method for manufacturing a high-temperature, high-pressure, forged steel high-performance gate valve body with a guide groove, wherein the gate valve body is prepared according to the following steps:
[0015] First, perform rough machining on the channel and the middle cavity of the blank. At the center of the middle cavity, a circle with a diameter slightly larger than the distance between the two valve seats is machined until the channel is opened. Continue to use the center of the middle cavity as the reference to offset the distance to the left to locate the center of the circle and machine an eccentric circle to the channel. The diameter of the eccentric circle is the same as above or slightly larger.
[0016] Similarly, process the same size eccentric circle to the right to open up the channel. Continue to process the four eccentric circles that affect the movement of the gate valve, just enough to form the prototype of the guide groove on both sides of the middle cavity, and process the prototype of the valve body guide groove.
[0017] Continue to process the conical inner and outer cavities with the center of the middle cavity as the center of the circle to optimize the internal and external aesthetics, further significantly reduce the weight of the valve body, and reduce the impact of thermal stress under high temperature;
[0018] Finally, machining the valve seat into the valve body passage can significantly shorten the valve seat length and move it away from the port.

The valve seat is short in length and small in compression deformation. The valve seat weld is away from the end groove of the valve body to prevent deformation of the valve seat during welding of the valve and the pipeline; 3 According to theoretical calculations, the valve body corners are well reinforced, the overall seismic resistance is strong, and the sealing leakage caused by valve seat deformation is avoided. It is very suitable for the performance requirements of key wedge gate valves and parallel double-disc gate valves such as supercritical thermal power and nuclear power conventional islands.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The following is a further description of this patent with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0031] like Figure 5-8 The figure shows a high-temperature, high-pressure, forged steel, high-performance gate valve body with a guide groove. It primarily comprises 1. a valve body and 2. a valve seat. The inner cavity of the valve body is composed of a central sealing section, a guide groove section, a channel, and an eccentric circular section. The internal structure is rational and compact, while the valve body's appearance is simple and aesthetically pleasing. The corners of the tee shown in the figure are reinforced based on membrane stress calculations. The guide grooves lack undercuts, eliminating significant stress concentration. The valve seat has a built-in seat boss, making it short, with a small pressure-bearing area, and located away from the welded ends of the valve body, minimizing sealing surface deformation.
[0032] The valve body cavity is a three-circle intersecting structure, and the excess material can be directly processed into a guide groove without increasing the inner diameter and wall thickness of the cavity, and can directly increase the corner area and valve body boss.
[0033] The valve body cavity has a smooth transition shape and no large stress concentration.
[0034] like Figure 9 As shown, the valve body processing steps are as follows: First, the channel and the middle cavity of the blank are rough-machined, and a circle with a diameter slightly larger than the distance between the two valve seats is machined at the center of the middle cavity until the channel is opened. The eccentric circle is machined to the channel with an offset distance to the left based on the center of the middle cavity. The diameter of the eccentric circle is the same as above or slightly larger. Similarly, an eccentric circle of the same size is machined to the right to open the channel. The four eccentric circles that affect the movement of the gate valve are continued to be machined, which can just form the prototype of the guide groove on both sides of the middle cavity. The valve body guide groove prototype is machined, and the conical inner cavity and outer cavity are continued to be machined with the center of the middle cavity as the center to optimize the internal and external aesthetics, further significantly reduce the weight of the valve body, and reduce the impact of thermal stress under high temperature. Finally, the valve seat is machined on the valve body channel, which can significantly shorten the length of the valve seat and keep it away from the port. The optimized structure of the high-temperature and high-pressure forged steel high-performance gate valve with a guide groove of the present invention can better adapt to high temperature, high pressure, earthquake resistance and other environments.
[0035] The above specific implementation methods are used to explain this patent rather than to limit this patent. Any modifications and changes made to this patent within the spirit and scope of protection of the claims of this patent shall fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
