[0002] Currently, during fracturing and well-killing pumping operations in domestic oil and gas fields, throttling is performed through partially open plug valves to control the flow of high-pressure fluids, or through needle throttling valves that are rapidly throttled to fully closed to achieve soft-starting of the pump to prevent water hammer damage to the pump and pipeline. This throttling effect causes severe erosion of the plug, resulting in rapid failure and a short service life. The throttling process is also noisy and unstable. After rapid throttling, the spool and seat surfaces of the throttle valve are severely damaged, making it impossible to seal and fully close. Frequent replacement of the spool and seat is required, resulting in poor soft-starting and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, in order to achieve the adjustable throttling of high-speed fluid when the valve is fully open to protect the valve hole from being eroded by high-speed fluid, and at the same time achieve complete sealing and closing of the valve after slow throttling to ensure the soft start of the pump, slow and stable throttling can avoid the generation of turbulence. The present invention proposes a cage-type erosion-resistant throttling valve, comprising a valve body 1 and a valve seat 2 vertically arranged on the top of the valve body 1, a continuous step is provided on the top of the valve seat 2, a cage-type valve 3 is coaxially rotated on the bottom of the continuous step, a throttling rod 6 is coaxially threaded on the top of the cage-type valve 3, a valve throttling hole 3-3 is provided on the inner wall of the cage-type valve 3, a valve cavity 1-2 connected to the valve throttling hole 3-3 is provided in the middle of the continuous step, and a sealing mechanism is provided on the top of the continuous step to seal the top of the valve cavity 1-2. Sealing disk 4, a valve body flow hole 1-3 communicating with the valve cavity 1-2 is provided inside the valve body 1, a valve body upstream fluid channel 1-1 and a valve body downstream fluid channel 1-4 are horizontally provided in the valve body 1, a valve seat fluid channel 2-1 communicating with the valve seat upstream fluid channel 1-1 is provided at the bottom of the valve seat 2, a plug upstream fluid channel 3-1 communicating with the interior of the cage type plug 3 and the valve seat fluid channel 2-1 is provided at the bottom of the cage type plug 3, and the valve body flow hole 1-3 is communicated with the valve body downstream fluid channel 1-4.

[0026] The throttling operation of the fully-open valve is as follows: the rotating head 8 is rotated to drive the cage-type plug 3 to rotate 90° counterclockwise, so that the center lines of the upstream fluid channel 1-1 of the valve body, the fluid channel 2-1 of the valve seat and the upstream fluid channel 3-1 of the plug are aligned. At this time, the valve is fully open, and the fluid flows through the valve body 1, the valve seat 2, and the cage-type plug 3 in sequence and then enters the plug middle cavity 3-2. The fluid enters the valve cavity 1-2 after throttling through the plug throttling hole 3-3, and then enters the valve body downstream fluid channel 1-4 and flows out through the valve body flow hole 1-3.

[0027] The valve slowly increases the throttling amount to fully closed to achieve the soft start process of the pump as follows: Turn the control nut 9 to drive the throttling rod 6 to rise and fall, adjust the overlap between the throttling rod 6 and the multiple throttling holes 3-3 of the plug, the greater the overlap, the greater the throttling amount, when the throttling rod 6 drops to the lowest position, the throttling holes 3-3 of the plug are completely blocked. At this time, the valve reaches the maximum throttling capacity, turn the rotating head 8 to drive the cage-type plug to rotate 90° clockwise, and the valve is completely closed.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the sealing performance between the throttle rod 6 and the cage-type cock 3, an annular groove is provided in the middle of the throttle rod 6, and a throttle rod sealing ring 10 is installed through the annular groove.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in order to adjust the position of the throttle lever 6 and prevent the throttle lever 6 from being rotated too much and causing the threaded connection between the throttle lever 6 and the cage-type cock 3 to be lost, thereby causing fluid leakage when conveying high-speed fluid, a controller 20 is fixedly installed above the throttle lever 6. When the top end of the throttle lever 6 contacts the bottom surface of the controller 20, the throttle lever 6 and the cage-type cock 3 are in a threaded engagement state.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to achieve shock absorption when the cage-type cock 3 is subjected to axial impact of high-speed fluid, an annular protrusion is coaxially fixed on the outer wall of the cage-type cock 3, and a valve cover 5 is mounted on the cage-type cock 3. The bottom of the valve cover 5 is connected to the top surface of the sealing disk 4, and the top and bottom of the annular protrusion are respectively connected to the cock upper buffer pad 11 and the cock lower buffer pad 12. The annular protrusion is located in the annular cavity at the bottom of the valve cover 5, and the cock lower buffer pad 12 contacts the bottom surface of the sealing disk 4, and the cock upper buffer pad 11 contacts the top surface of the annular cavity. The valve cover 5 is fixed to the valve body 1 through the pressure cover 7. The valve cover 5 is installed on the cage-type cock 3, and cooperates with the cock upper buffer pad 11 and the cock lower buffer pad 11 to reduce the impact of the annular protrusion, thereby improving the stability of the cage-type cock 3.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the sealing performance of the sealing disc 4 to the valve cavity 1-2, the inner wall and outer wall of the sealing disc 4 are respectively fixedly provided with a sealing disc inner sealing ring 13 and a sealing disc outer sealing ring 14.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to improve the width and accuracy of throttling control, the throttle holes 3-3 of the plug are arranged from top to bottom. A large number of throttle holes 3-3 are provided. By vertically arranging the throttle holes 3-3, when the throttle rod 6 is rotated, the throttle rod 6 gradually covers the throttle holes 3-3 of the plug, thereby achieving the purpose of throttling adjustment.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the rotation of the cage-type cock 3, a top end of the cage-type cock 3 is fixedly sleeved with a sheath 19, and a rotating head 8 is coaxially fixedly connected to the sheath 19.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, for the convenience of rotating the throttle lever 6. The top end of the throttle lever 6 is coaxially fixedly connected with a control nut 9.

[0035] like Figure 2As shown, in order to enhance the sealing between the valve seat 2 and the valve body 1 and prevent the valve cavity 1-2 from communicating with the downstream fluid channel 1-4 of the valve seat, one end of the downstream fluid channel 1-4 of the valve seat is connected to the outer wall of the valve seat 2. The top and bottom of the outer wall of the valve seat 2 are respectively provided with a valve seat upper sealing strip 15 and a valve seat lower sealing strip 16. The valve seat upper sealing strip 15 and the valve seat lower sealing strip 16 are respectively located above and below the connection end between the valve seat 2 and the downstream fluid channel 1-4 of the valve seat. Figure 3 As shown, the valve body flow hole 1-3 is used to control the flow rate of the fluid, so it is necessary to ensure the relative sealing between the valve cavity 1-2 and the downstream fluid channel 1-4 of the valve seat.

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, to enhance the sealing between the valve body's upstream fluid channel 1-1 and the external pipeline, the external connection end of the valve body's upstream fluid channel 1-1 is provided with an end connection sealing assembly 18, the inner ring of which is provided with a sealing ring. The external connection end of the valve body's downstream fluid channel 1-4 is fixedly provided with an end connection sleeve 17. Due to the throttling mode and the high pressure between the valve body's upstream fluid channel 1-1 and the external pipeline when the valve is fully closed, the end connection sealing assembly 18 is arranged to improve the sealing of the joint.
