Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of exhaust gas treatment equipment technology, and more specifically to an integrated gas module. Background Technology
[0002] The gas handling system can filter, exhaust, extract, measure and control gas flow rate and exhaust pressure, and detect gas composition.
[0003] Most existing gas pipeline systems are controlled by single-point valves. Conventional valves only have two working modes: opening and closing of a single channel. When using such valves for complex systems, there are usually many valves and complex pipelines, and many control points. Pre-use testing and troubleshooting are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, the design of integrated valve groups can effectively overcome these problems. However, integrated valve groups are currently rare, and the focus is mainly on the design of 3-way valves in integration. There is less research on valves with one inlet channel and multiple outlet channels.
[0004] Existing patent publication number WO2005113950A2 discloses a wall-flow particulate trap system that regenerates through a reverse pressure drop on the porous wall of multiple tubular channels by filtering exhaust gas, with the pressure drop and duration sufficient to discharge collected soot and ash. The system includes a particulate collector having an inlet and an outlet; a mode valve assembly offset from the inlet of the particulate collector; a remotely driven safety valve offset from the outlet of at least one particulate collector; a pipe rotor located between the particulate collector and the mode valve assembly, the pipe rotor having a first end and a second end, the second end of the pipe rotor being in operative communication with the mode valve assembly, and the first end of the pipe rotor being in fluid communication with the inlet of the particulate collector; and a rotor driver operatively connected to said pipe rotor.
[0005] After the entire filtration and exhaust system is integrated, it needs to be installed in a limited space. Due to the complexity of its connecting pipelines and the large number of valves required, directly applying existing valve assemblies results in a large footprint, failing to meet integration requirements. Therefore, reducing the space occupied by the entire pipeline and control valves while fitting them within a limited space is a pressing technical problem. Furthermore, in existing technologies, multi-point valve assembly systems have complex electrical connections and dense connection points. Multiple interconnected links are prone to leaks, leading to a large workload for troubleshooting and numerous safety hazards. Current multi-way valve structures are insufficient for integrated control of more than three channels. It is necessary to research new valve block structures that integrate the functions of multiple single-point valves into a single multi-way valve, achieving physical integration of multiple functional valve blocks. The design of high-sealing multi-way valves mainly involves two core issues: first, what structure should be used to achieve integrated control of the opening and closing of multiple flow channels; and second, based on this structure, how to calculate structural parameters and verify sealing performance to achieve engineering applications of the high-sealing multi-way valve. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to achieve system miniaturization, reduce installation size, and save installation space.
[0007] This invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means: an integrated gas module, characterized in that it includes a main channel, multiple rotary multi-way valves and multiple rotary single-way valves located upstream and downstream of the main channel, and a flow control module. The main channel, rotary multi-way valves, rotary single-way valves, and flow control module are closely fitted and interconnected. The rotary multi-way valve includes a rotor, a stator, and a drive unit. The rotor is rotatably disposed within the rotary multi-way valve and is drivenly connected to the output end of the drive unit. The stator is fixedly disposed within the rotary multi-way valve and rotates in cooperation with the rotor. The stator has an input port and multiple or a single output port, which respectively form multiple switching channels. The rotor input end is always connected to the input port of the stator. The rotor has multiple notches circumferentially arranged to match the output ports. The drive unit drives the notches to move relative to the matched output ports between aligned and misaligned states, thereby causing the corresponding switching channels to be opened or closed.
[0008] By creating through holes in the stator and rotor of the rotary multi-way valve to form different switching channels, a single rotary multi-way valve can be equivalent to multiple single-way valves, greatly reducing the valve layout. The main flow channel, rotary multi-way valve, single-way valve, and flow control module are tightly integrated and interconnected, reducing the space occupied by the original connecting pipelines.

[0018] A design method for a rotary multi-way valve in an integrated gas module includes the following steps:
[0019] S1: Design the structure of a cylindrical rotary multi-way valve and determine its working mode;
[0020] S2: Design the orifice and stem of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve according to functional and sealing requirements;
[0021] S3: Analyze the flow resistance characteristics of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve to determine the location of the through hole;
[0022] S4: Calculate the leakage rate of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve to ensure high sealing performance;
[0023] Step S1 includes the following steps:
[0024] S11: Determine the main structural components of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve, including the valve stem, the stem sleeve, the first and second air outlet holes on the valve stem, and the air guide hole on the stem sleeve.
[0025] S12: Determine the sealing method of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve;
[0026] S13: Determine the operating mode of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve;
[0027] S2 includes the following steps:
[0028] S21: Determine the included angle between adjacent air outlets; Let the center of the multi-way valve core shaft (i.e., valve stem) be O, the outer diameter be D, and the diameter of the internal air passage of the valve stem be d. Design air outlets at different angles relative to the center O at different heights of the valve stem, with the air outlet diameter being r.
[0029] S22: Establish a critical cutoff state model; when the first vent is completely opposite to the guide hole, the gas flows out from the first valve stem vent. At this time, the left and right boundaries of the first vent and the guide hole are a1 and b1, the left and right boundaries of the second vent are a2 and b2, and the angle between the vent boundary and the center O is θ, with a size of arcsin(r / d).
[0030] During the switching process, the critical cutoff state is when the first vent is just closed and the second vent is about to form a gap with the air guide hole, and gas will flow out from the second vent. Establish a geometric model of the critical cutoff state. Rotate the valve stem counterclockwise. The left boundary a1' of the first vent intersects the right boundary b1 of the air guide hole on a line. The right boundary b2' of the second vent intersects the left boundary a1 of the air guide hole on a line. At this time, the first vent and the air guide hole, and the second vent and the air guide hole are both in a linear closed state. The angle between the vent boundary and the center O is the critical cutoff angle β.
[0031] To ensure the dynamic shut-off of the valve, the first and second vents cannot be open simultaneously, i.e., θ≤β, resulting in:
[0032] θ=arcsin(r / d)≤β,r / d≤sin(β) (1)
[0033] S23: Determine the minimum inner diameter of the pipeline through which the gas flows and use this to determine the pipeline conductance, thereby determining the pressure relief flow rate; during the pressure relief process, calculate the minimum inner diameter of the pipeline based on the pressure difference across the pipeline and the gas flow rate.
[0034] The flow conductance formula for air at 20℃ in a long pipe with a circular cross-section (L>20φ) is:
[0035]
[0036] In equation (2): C20℃ is the flow conductance of the long pipe to air at 20℃; φ is the minimum diameter of the pipe; L is the length of the pipe; The average pressure in the pipeline; p1 and p2 are the gas pressures at both ends of the pipe, respectively;
[0037] As can be seen from the definition of flow rate, the pipeline flow rate is...
[0038] Q = C 20℃ ×Δp (3)
[0039] In equation (3), Q is the gas mass flow rate; ΔP is the pressure difference across the pipeline; substituting equation (3) into equation (2) yields...
[0040]
[0041]
[0042] The value of ΔP is calculated based on the pressure difference before and after the pipeline. The pressure p2 at the end of the pipeline is atmospheric pressure, and the pressure p1 at the front end of the pipeline is ΔP+101kPa. Substitute the known parameters into formula (5), and take the value of Q as the minimum acceptable flow rate to calculate the minimum inner diameter φ of the pipeline.
[0043] Therefore, for ease of processing, the inlet and outlet diameters r of the multi-way valve are designed to be integer values upwards of φ, and the valve stem inner diameter must satisfy Formula 1.
[0044] S3 includes the following steps:
[0045] S31: Establish a valve pipeline flow resistance model; when fluid passes through the valve, its fluid resistance loss is represented by the fluid pressure drop ΔP before and after the valve, as shown in equation (6);
[0046]
[0047] In equation (6): ΔP is the pressure difference; v is the flow velocity; ρ is the density, and the gas density is set to a predetermined value. Therefore, the flow resistance coefficient is calculated as follows:
[0048]
[0049] S32: Analyze the flow resistance characteristics of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve to determine the location of the through hole.
[0050] As a preferred technical solution, step S4 includes the following steps:
[0051] S41: Determine the leakage path of the cylindrical valve; the four-position three-way valve includes a first outlet, a second outlet, and a third outlet. When the second outlet is open and the first and third outlets are closed, there are two leakage paths for the third outlet: one is the path l1 between the third outlet and the second outlet, and the other is the path l2 of 1 / 4 of the circumference of the cylindrical cross section between the third outlet and the second outlet.
[0052] S42: Establish a model for calculating the leakage rate of a cylindrical valve; based on the leakage rate calculation formula...
[0053]
[0054] In equation (8), Q L Leakage rate; l is the path length between the through hole and the sealing hole; η is the aerodynamic viscosity, 1.81 × 10⁻⁶. -5 Pa·s; p1 is the high-pressure port pressure, which is atmospheric pressure during leak detection, p1=101325Pa; p2 is the low-pressure port pressure, which is a vacuum state during leak detection, so p2=0Pa; The average pressure; rf Let be the size of the leakage gap, a value to be determined. With the second outlet open and the first and third outlets closed, the total leakage for the third outlet is the sum of the leakage along the two paths.
[0055]
[0056] In the formula
[0057] S43: Determine the minimum leakage gap; calculate l based on l1 and l2 according to the valve's required leakage rate. 总 The leakage gap r was calculated. f :
[0058]
[0059] The advantages of this invention are:
[0060] (1) In this invention, by opening through holes on the stator and rotor inside the rotary multi-way valve and forming different switching channels, a single rotary multi-way valve can be equivalent to multiple single-way valves, which greatly reduces the valve arrangement. The main channel, rotary multi-way valve, single-way valve and flow control module are closely fitted and interconnected, reducing the space occupied by the original connecting pipeline. At the same time, the setting of multiple rotary multi-way valves and single-way valves can realize the combination of different switching channels according to the valve position logic between valve groups, reducing the installation size of the gas module and saving installation space.
[0061] (2) In this invention, by setting up two sets of flow controllers, one is used and one is on standby, which improves the stability of system operation. By setting planar seals on both ends of the sealing connector, the sealing reliability is improved. At the same time, the sealing connector is used to replace the original threaded seal, which reduces the overall size and improves the consistency with the appearance after the module is assembled.

The drive motor 252 drives the valve stem 2511 to rotate around its axis to open and close the corresponding switching channel.
[0095] See Figure 3 , Figure 4The first valve assembly 2501 is a single-way valve, performing only opening and closing functions. The first valve assembly 2501 includes a first valve assembly housing 25011, a first valve stem 25012, a first stem sleeve 25013, a first through hole 25014, a first connecting channel 25015, and a second connecting channel 25016. A coaxial but discontinuous first connecting channel 25015 and second connecting channel 25016 are formed at the center of the first valve assembly housing 25011. Two first through holes 25014 are formed on the first valve stem 25012, creating a passageway through the valve stem 2511. The first stem sleeve 25013 is fixedly connected within the first valve assembly housing 25011 and is connected to the first valve... The rod 25012 rotates and engages. The left and right ends of the first rod sleeve 25013 are respectively provided with through holes that are adapted to the cross-sectional ports of the first connecting channel 25015 and the second connecting channel 25016. When the two first through holes 25014 are aligned with the cross-sectional ports of the first connecting channel 25015 and the second connecting channel 25016 and the two through holes on the first rod sleeve 25013, the first connecting channel 25015 and the second connecting channel 25016 are connected. When the two first through holes 25014 have no overlapping area with the two through holes, the first connecting channel 25015 and the second connecting channel 25016 are cut off by the first valve rod 25012, and the first valve group 2501 is in the closed state.
[0096] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7The second valve assembly 2502 is a four-position three-way valve. The second valve assembly 2502 includes a second valve assembly housing 25021, a second valve stem 25022, a second stem sleeve 25023, four second through holes 25024, a first input channel 25025, a first output channel 25026, a second output channel 25027, and a third output channel 25028. The second valve stem 25022 and the second stem sleeve 25023 are interference-fitted. The first input channel 25025 is connected to the second connecting channel 25016 via a first air passage 25311. The first output channel 25026, the second output channel 25027, and the third output channel 25028 are respectively connected to the three input ports of the gas sampling module 222. The second valve stem 25022 is rotatably connected inside the second valve assembly housing 25021, and the second rod sleeve 25023 is fixedly connected inside the second valve assembly housing 25021 and rotatably engages with the second valve stem 25022. The second rod sleeve 25023 is provided with a first through hole 250231, a second through hole 250232, a third through hole 250233, and a fourth through hole 250234. The first through hole 250231 is aligned with the right end of the first input channel 25024, and the second through hole 250232, the third through hole 250233, and the fourth through hole 250234 are aligned with the first output channel 25026, the second output channel 25027, and the third output channel 25028, respectively.
[0097] The four second through holes 25024 are designated as holes A, B, C, and D, respectively, and are arranged in a spiral pattern. Holes A and D are located on the same side of the second valve stem 25022, while hole B is located on the opposite side. The valve position logic is as follows: when hole B is connected to the first output channel 25026 through the second through hole 250232, sampling of the first gas sampling bottle can be achieved; when hole C is connected to the second output channel 25027 through the third through hole 250233, sampling can be achieved. It can realize sampling of the second gas sampling bottle. When hole D is connected to the third output channel 25028 through the fourth through hole 250234, it can realize sampling of the third gas sampling bottle. When holes B, C and D are not connected to the second through hole 250232, the third through hole 250233 and the fourth through hole 250234, the first output channel 25026, the second output channel 25027 and the third output channel 25028 are all in a non-conductive state.
[0098] See Figure 6 The second sleeve 25023 has a first annular chamber 25029. The A hole is connected to the first annular chamber 25029, so that gas can enter the first annular chamber 25029 through the A hole. The gas enters the inner cavity of the second valve stem 25022 through the first input channel 25025, the first through hole 250231, the first annular chamber 25029, and the A hole in sequence, so that the A hole is always in the conductive state.
[0099] The second valve group 2502 and the seventh valve group 2507 have the same structure. The difference between the second valve group 2502 and the seventh valve group 2507 is that the input and output ends are connected to different devices. The three output ends of the seventh valve group 2507 are connected to the two input ends of the vacuum pump group 23 and the gas storage tank 3, respectively. The input end of the third valve group 2503 is connected to the output end of the sixth valve group 2506.
[0100] See Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 The fifth valve assembly 2505 is a three-position two-way valve. The fifth valve assembly 2505 includes a fifth valve assembly housing 25051, a fifth valve stem 25052, and a fifth stem sleeve 25053. The fifth stem sleeve 25053 has a fifth through hole 250531, a sixth through hole 250532, and a seventh through hole 250533. The fifth stem sleeve 25053 is fixedly connected inside the fifth valve assembly housing 25051, and the fifth valve stem 25052 is rotatably connected inside it. The sixth through hole 250532 and the seventh through hole 250533 are located on the same side, and the fifth through hole 250531 is located on the other side. The fifth valve stem 25052 has three openings 2512, hereinafter referred to as holes E, F, and G, where E and F are... The holes are located on the same side, with the G hole located on the other side of the fifth valve stem 25052. The F hole and the fifth through hole 250531 are both input ports. The E hole and the G hole are respectively connected to the output ports of the two flow controllers 2211. A second annular chamber 25054 is provided on the fifth rod sleeve 25053. The second annular chamber 25054 and the E hole are always in communication. Gas enters the second annular chamber 25054 from the fifth through hole 250531 and enters the inner cavity of the fifth valve stem 25052 from the E hole. When the E hole is aligned with the sixth through hole 250532, the gas is discharged from the sixth through hole 250532. When the G hole is aligned with the seventh through hole 250533, the gas is discharged from the seventh through hole 250533.
[0101] The sixth valve assembly 2506 is a two-position, two-way valve. The sixth valve assembly 2506 includes a sixth valve assembly housing, a sixth valve stem, and a sixth stem sleeve. The sixth valve stem is rotatably connected inside the sixth valve assembly housing, and the sixth stem sleeve is fixedly connected inside the sixth valve assembly housing and rotatably engages with the sixth valve stem. The sixth valve stem has three third through holes, denoted as H, I, and J, respectively. The sixth stem sleeve has an eighth, ninth, and tenth through hole. The sixth valve assembly housing has a third input channel, a fourth input channel, and a fourth output channel. The third and fourth input channels are connected to the other ends of two flow controllers 2211, respectively, and the fourth output channel is connected to the input end of the seventh valve assembly. The three third through holes of the sixth valve stem are connected and their diameters are adapted to the cross sections of the third input channel, the fourth input channel, and the fourth output channel, respectively. The through holes on the sixth valve stem that are adapted to the fourth output channel all establish annular air chambers. Among them, the H and I holes are both input ends, and the J hole is the output end. The H and I holes are not located on the same side. When the H hole is aligned with the eighth through hole and the third input channel, this branch, i.e., one flow controller 2211, is in the conducting state. When the I hole is aligned with the ninth through hole and the fourth input channel, the other branch, i.e., another flow controller 2211, is in the conducting state. Due to the opening of the annular chamber, the J hole is always in the conducting state with the tenth through hole and the fourth output channel.
[0102] See Figure 13 , Figure 14 The flow control module 221 includes two mass flow controllers 2211 and an L-shaped adapter plate 2212. The two mass flow controllers 2211 are arranged side by side. Each mass flow controller 2211 has two L-shaped adapter plates 2212 fixedly connected to its bottom and symmetrically distributed about the axis of the flow controller. The L-shaped adapter plates 2212 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gas module housing 210. The L-shaped adapter plate 2212 includes a vertical section and a horizontal section. The end of its vertical section facing the flow controller 2211 is sealed and fixed to the adapter of the flow controller 2211 by a rubber ring. The end of its vertical section away from the flow controller 2211 is sealed and fixed to the fifth valve group 2505 and the sixth valve group 2506 by rubber rings respectively.
[0103] See Figure 1The exhaust unit 2 also includes an online detection module 223. The online detection module 223 includes a detection branch 2231, a gas detector 2232, and a component detection buffer tank 2233. Both ends of the detection branch 2231 are connected to the main pipeline of the exhaust unit 2, and a control valve is provided at the end of the detection branch 2231 connected to the main pipeline. The component detection buffer tank 2233 and the gas detector 2232 adapted to the detection gas are provided on the detection branch 2231. In this embodiment, three gas detectors 2232 are used as an example, namely CO detector, H2 detector and SF6 detector. It should be noted that during detection, the pressure reducing valve is first adjusted to a slightly positive pressure, and then the pressure at the back end is controlled by the S-9 manual valve to create a slightly positive pressure operating environment for the detector. The optimal detection flow rate for CO and SF6 is 100mL-150mL / min. The buffer tank is designed with a volume of 1L, which can theoretically support at least 3 sampling analyses.
[0104] See Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 The filter unit 1 includes a filter unit housing 11 and two multi-stage filters 12. The multi-stage filters 12 filter the discharged high-temperature and high-pressure gas containing dust particles and impurities. To meet the filtration efficiency, the gas flow rate needs to be controlled by a mass flow meter. In addition, when the high-temperature and high-pressure gas is discharged to a low pressure of about 30 kPa, the gas will contain water vapor. A condensation and dehydration module needs to be designed so that after the high-temperature and high-humidity gas passes through the heat exchanger of the condensation and dehydration module, the gas temperature is reduced to room temperature or lower by the cooling water in the heat exchanger, and the condensate is precipitated. A dedicated closed cavity is set up to store the condensate. After the particulate composition of the gas at the downstream end of the filter meets the requirements, it enters the subsequent unit.
[0105] Two multi-stage filters 12 are fixedly installed inside the filter unit housing 11. The input and output ends of the multi-stage filters 12 are connected to the output ends of the intake unit and the exhaust unit 2, respectively. Control valves are installed on the connecting pipes of the input and output ends of the multi-stage filters 12 to the output ends of the intake unit and the exhaust unit 2, respectively. The two multi-stage filters 12 are symmetrically distributed inside the filter unit housing 11, one in use and one on standby. The input end of the multi-stage filter 12 is connected to the output end of the intake unit, and the output end of the multi-stage filter 12 is connected to the input end of the mass spectrometry detection module 22. Pressure sensors are installed at both the input and output ends of the filter unit housing 11. The pressure sensors are electrically connected to the main control module 24 to detect the operating status of the multi-stage filters 12. If the pressure difference across the multi-stage filter 12 is too large, a new filter needs to be replaced. When replacing, simply close the control valve. At the same time, to facilitate the replacement of the multi-stage filters 12, a detachable door is designed on the filter unit housing 11.
[0106] See Figure 17The multi-stage filter 12 includes multiple secondary filters 121 connected in series. From left to right, the secondary filters 121 consist of a first-stage filter, a second-stage filter, and five third-stage filters. Each secondary filter 121 includes a housing, a support plate 122, and a pressure ring 123. The secondary filters 121 employ the same structure, facilitating filter modification, and the overall weight is less than 1.8 kg. An annular support plate 122 is fixed to the inner wall of the secondary filter 121. A through hole 1221 is opened at the center line of the annular support plate 122. The filter element 13 is embedded in the through hole 1221 and connected and secured by the pressure ring 123. The pressure ring 123 is a wire mesh pressure plate, which prevents excessive gas impact from causing excessive deformation of the filter element 13 and damaging the sealing structure. 13 includes a first filter element 131, a second filter element 132, and a plurality of third filter elements 133 arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the multi-stage filter 12. In this embodiment, five third filter elements 133 are used as an example. The first filter element 131 is a coarse sponge, the second filter element 132 is a fine sponge and polypropylene, and the third filter element 133 is made of H14 grade high-efficiency filter element (high-efficiency glass fiber filter paper). The inner wall of the secondary filter 121 is provided with an installation groove 1211. One end of the third filter element 133 connected to the secondary filter 121 extends into the installation groove 1211 and is bonded and fixed thereto. The end of the third filter element 133 connected to the secondary filter 121 is serrated. The end face of the installation groove 1211 connected to it is provided with a mating protrusion 1212 that is adapted to it.
[0107] By setting one end of the third filter element 133 connected to the secondary filter 121 to be serrated and extending into the mounting groove 1211, and setting the mating protrusion 1212 to cooperate with the serrated connecting part of the third filter element 133, the contact area between the third filter element 133 and the secondary filter 121 is increased, and the connection strength of the third filter element 133 is improved. By bonding and fixing the third filter element 133 to the secondary filter 121 and injecting glue at their connection, the leakage of polluted gas from the edge can be prevented. It should be noted that the installation structure of the first filter element 131, the second filter element 132 and the third filter element 133 is the same, but not limited to this.
[0108] Adjacent secondary filters 121 are connected by flanges and fixed by welding. Since the secondary filters 121 are small in size, in order to prevent the high temperature generated during welding from burning the sealant and causing smoke pollution to the filter, a water cooling device is used to cool the weld point during welding. At the same time, the welding is carried out intermittently, one cycle at a time, and high temperature resistant sealant is used to avoid local overheating that could burn the sealant and filter element 13.
[0109] Usage: The gas to be filtered enters the multi-stage filter 12 from the filter unit housing 11 for filtration. The filtered gas enters the exhaust unit 2, is first detected by the mass spectrometry detection module 22, and then flows into the flow controller 2211. Under the suction of the vacuum pump group 23, it enters the gas storage tank 3.
[0110] Example 2
[0111] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, addressing the urgent need for integrated multi-way valves in current gas pipeline systems, this embodiment focuses on improving the physical structure of multi-way valves, designing structural parameters for cylindrical multi-way valves, and analyzing their corresponding flow resistance and sealing characteristics. It proposes a design and integration method for cylindrical rotary multi-way valves in integrated gas modules, overcoming the technical bottlenecks in orifice design, flow resistance analysis, and leakage characteristic analysis of cylindrical rotary multi-way valves. This method accurately realizes the design of cylindrical rotary multi-way valves and can be applied to exhaust processes with numerous gas pipelines and complex control processes, making it suitable for controlling gas channels in complex gas pipelines.
[0112] The design method for rotary multi-way valves or single-way valves in integrated gas modules includes the following steps:
[0113] It should be noted that this embodiment uses a rotary multi-way valve as an example;
[0114] S1: Design the structure of a cylindrical rotary multi-way valve and determine its working mode;
[0115] S2: Design the orifice and stem of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve according to functional and sealing requirements;
[0116] S3: Analyze the flow resistance characteristics of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve based on dynamic software to determine the position of the through hole;
[0117] S4: Calculate the leakage rate of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve to ensure high sealing performance;
[0118] S5: Design an integrated gas handling module system based on a cylindrical rotary multi-way valve, and conduct experimental tests to ensure that the integrated gas module system meets functional requirements.
[0119] Step S1 includes the following steps:
[0120] S11: Determine the main structural components of the cylindrical high-sealing rotary valve; see reference Figure 18Taking the reference valve assembly 2508 as an example, the upper left end of the cylindrical high-sealing rotary valve is the gas input port, and the lower end is designed with three gas outlets (i.e., output ports) and corresponding sealing structures. The reference valve assembly 2508 includes an outer mounting base 25081, an inner sealing bushing 25082, a bearing upper sealing cover 25083, a rotary switching spindle 25084, a bearing 25085, a snap ring 25086, and a lower sealing cover 25087. Among them, the outer mounting base 25081 has a gas input channel and a gas output channel, and the rotary switching spindle 25084 passes through the bearing 5. The bearing 5 is rotatably connected in the outer mounting base 25081 and sealed and fixed by the upper sealing cover 25083 and the lower sealing cover 25087. The bottom of the rotary switching spindle 25084 is provided with a snap ring 25086. An inner sealing bushing 25082 is fixedly connected in the outer mounting base 25081. The inner sealing bushing 25082 is located outside the rotary switching spindle 25084. The rotary switching spindle 25084 has a sealed cavity structure inside, and it is always connected to the gas input channel through an input port. The rotary switching spindle 25084 has an output through hole in the circumference.
[0121] S12: Determine the sealing method of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve. The sealing method adopts the ball valve sealing method. The static seal adopts the interference fit. The upper sealing cover 25083 and the lower sealing cover 25087 of the bearing are interference-fitted with the outer mounting base 25081. The dynamic seal adopts the ball valve sealing method to achieve airtight sealing. The inner sealing bushing 25082 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has self-lubricating properties. The dynamic seal adopts the interference fit.
[0122] S13: Determine the operating mode of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve; taking the second valve group 2502 in the second type of valve group, i.e., the four-position three-way valve structure, as an example, refer to... Figure 19 The outer mounting base 25081 has three air outlets and one air inlet, designated as first air outlet 250811, second air outlet 250812, third air outlet 250813, and first air inlet 250814, respectively. The rotary switching spindle 25084, i.e., the valve stem, has first air outlet 250841 and second air outlet 250842, and the inner sealing bushing 25082, i.e., the rod sleeve, has an air guide hole 250821. The corresponding working mold... There are 4 operating modes: Operating Mode 1: First air outlet 250811 is open, second air outlet 250812 and third air outlet 250813 are closed; Operating Mode 2: Second air outlet 250812 is open, first air outlet 250811 and third air outlet 250813 are closed; Operating Mode 3: Third air outlet 250813 is open, first air outlet 250811 and second air outlet 250812 are closed; Operating Mode 4: All channels are closed.
[0123] S2: Design the orifice and stem of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve according to functional and sealing requirements;
[0124] Step S2 includes the following steps:
[0125] Step 21: Determine the included angle between adjacent air outlets. Rotate the switching spindle 25084 with center O and outer diameter D. The diameter of the internal air passage of the valve stem is d. Design air outlets at different angles relative to center O at different heights of the valve stem. The diameter of the air outlet is r. To facilitate the control of the rotation switching angle between different channels, the angle between adjacent air outlets is determined to be 90°.
[0126] Step 22: Establish a critical cutoff state model. When the first vent 250841 and the air guide hole 250821 are completely opposite, gas flows out from the first vent 250841. At this time, the left and right boundaries of the first vent 250841 and the air guide hole 250821 are a1 and b1, the left and right boundaries of the second vent 250842 are a2 and b2, and the angle between the vent boundary and the center O is θ, with a size of arcsin(r / d).
[0127] See Figure 20 During the switching process, the critical cutoff state is when the first vent 250841 is just closed, and the second vent 250842 is about to form a gap with the air guide hole, and gas will flow out from the second vent 250842. Establish a geometric model of the critical cutoff state. Rotate the valve stem counterclockwise. The left boundary a1' of the first vent 250841 intersects the right boundary b1 of the air guide hole on a line. The right boundary b2' of the second vent 250842 intersects the left boundary a1 of the air guide hole on a line. At this time, the first vent 250841 and the air guide hole, and the second vent 250842 and the air guide hole are both in a linear closed state. The angle between the vent boundary and the center O is the critical cutoff angle β. The calculated critical cutoff angle β is π / 8.
[0128] To ensure the dynamic shut-off of the valve, the first vent 250841 and the second vent 250842 cannot be open simultaneously, i.e., θ≤β, resulting in: θ=arcsin(r / d)≤β=π / 8, r / d≤sin(π / 8)
[0129] The flow conductance formula for air at 20℃ in a long pipe with a circular cross-section (L>20φ) is:
[0130]
[0131] In the formula: C20℃ is the conductance of the long pipe to air at 20℃, m3 / s; φ is the minimum diameter of the pipe, m; L is the length of the pipe, m; The average pressure in the pipeline is expressed in Pa. p1 and p2 are the gas pressures at both ends of the pipe, in Pa.
[0132] As can be seen from the definition of flow rate, the pipeline flow rate is...
[0133] Q = C 20℃ ×Δp (3)
[0134] In the formula, Q is the gas mass flow rate, Pa·m3 / s; ΔP is the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipeline, Pa; substituting equation (3) into equation (2) yields
[0135]
[0136]
[0137] The pressure difference across the pipeline is 150 kPa, i.e., ΔP is 150 kPa. The pressure at the end of the pipeline, p2, is atmospheric pressure, and the pressure at the front end of the pipeline, p1, is 251 kPa. Substituting the known parameters into formula (5), and taking the value of Q as the minimum acceptable flow rate of 160 SLM, the minimum inner diameter of the pipeline, φ, is calculated to be 5.26 mm.
[0138] Therefore, for ease of processing, the inlet and outlet diameters r of the multi-way valve are designed to be 6mm, and the valve stem inner diameter must meet Formula 1, with a minimum valve stem inner diameter of 16mm.
[0139] S3: Analyze the flow resistance characteristics of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve based on dynamic software to determine the location of the through-hole; step S3 includes the following steps:
[0140] S31, Establish the valve pipeline flow resistance model. When fluid passes through the valve, its fluid resistance loss is represented by the fluid pressure drop ΔP before and after the valve, as shown in equation (6).
[0141]
[0142] In the formula: ΔP is the pressure difference, Pa; v is m / s; ρ is the density, and the gas density is set to 1.225 kg / m³; therefore, the flow resistance coefficient is:
[0143]
[0144] S32, based on dynamic software analysis of the flow resistance characteristics of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve, determines the location of the through-hole. To ensure low gas resistance, the influence of the entire space volume of the equipment also needs to be considered during actual processing. Under the condition of meeting dimensional constraints, the outlet can be designed to be far from the inlet to minimize the resistance loss of each flow channel.
[0145] S4: Calculate the leakage rate of the cylindrical rotary multi-way valve to ensure high sealing performance; S4 includes the following steps:
[0146] S41: Identify the leakage path of the cylindrical valve. For a single cylindrical valve, there are two main ways for gas to leak: one is leakage caused by a loose connection between the sealing hole and the through hole, or between the valve core and the inner sealing bushing; the other is leakage caused by a loose connection between the cylindrical curved surface of the sealing port and the through hole and the inner sealing bushing.
[0147] See Figure 21 For a four-position three-way valve, when the second outlet 250812 is open and the first outlet 250811 and the third outlet 250813 are closed, there are two leakage paths for the third outlet 250813. One is path l1 (marked as L1 in the figure) between the third outlet 250813 and the second outlet 250812, and the other is path l2 (marked as L2 in the figure) with a cylindrical cross-section of 1 / 4 of the circumference between the third outlet 250813 and the second outlet 250812.
[0148] S42: Establish a model for calculating the leakage rate of a cylindrical valve. Based on the leakage rate calculation formula...
[0149]
[0150] In the formula, Ql is the leakage rate, Pa·m 3 / s; l is the path length between the through hole and the sealing hole, in meters; η is the aerodynamic viscosity, 1.81 × 10⁻⁶. -5 Pa·s; p1 is the high-pressure port pressure, which is atmospheric pressure during leak detection, p1=101325Pa; p2 is the low-pressure port pressure, which is a vacuum state during leak detection, so p2=0Pa; The average pressure; r f The value representing the size of the leakage gap is to be determined. With the second outlet 250812 open and the first outlet 250811 and the third outlet 250813 closed, the total leakage for the third outlet 250813 is the sum of the leakage along the two paths.
[0151]
[0152] In the formula
[0153] S43: Determine the minimum leakage gap; as the preferred technical solution, the valve leakage rate should be at most 9 × 10⁻⁶. -10 Pa·m 3 / s, l1 is 36mm, l2=π / 4·dmm, calculated to obtain l 总 If the gap is 9.3mm, then the leakage gap r f Solution:
[0154]
[0155] S5: Design an integrated gas handling module system based on a cylindrical rotary multi-way valve, and conduct experimental tests to ensure that the integrated gas module system meets functional requirements.
[0156] S51: Determine the overall structural design scheme of the gas processing module system. The main channel includes a gas duct plate 253.
