Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of noise control technology, and more specifically, to an automatic pressure regulating silencer sleeve valve. Background Technology
[0002] The blast furnace gas pressure reducing valve assembly is a crucial piece of equipment in the blast furnace gas purification and recovery system. Purified blast furnace gas typically passes through this assembly, where its pressure is reduced from 0.13-0.27 MPa to 10-13 kPa before being put into operation. To achieve a significant pressure reduction, the butterfly valves in the assembly are opened very slightly during gas flow. At this point, the gas flow is in a blocked, jet-like state at the valve opening, generating strong turbulent and impact noise. Noise levels near the blast furnace gas pressure reducing valve assembly can typically reach 120-135 dBA, severely polluting the plant environment, hindering workers' ability to receive sound signals and thus affecting safe production. It also frequently leads to excessive noise levels at the plant boundary, impacting residents' lives. The intense vibrations pollute the environment, reduce equipment lifespan, and can even cause pipeline ruptures and safety accidents.
[0003] In the existing technology, the noise and vibration problems generated by the pressure regulating valve group can be addressed by installing a soundproof cover around the blast furnace gas pressure reducing valve group. However, the soundproof cover brings trouble to the maintenance and replacement of the pressure reducing valve group. Moreover, once the pressure reducing valve group leaks gas, the ventilation device on the soundproof cover is difficult to exhaust the residual gas in the dead corners inside the cover.
[0004] Vibration dampers or damping pads can also be installed at the bottom of the pressure reducing valve assembly and the silencer. However, vibration dampers or damping pads only have a vibration isolation function. They mainly isolate vertical vibrations, but the main vibration direction of the pressure reducing valve assembly is axial. The vibration acceleration of the pressure reducing valve assembly and the pipeline system itself is not reduced.
[0005] Bellows compensators can also be installed at both ends of the pressure reducing valve assembly. Although the bellows compensator can isolate some axial vibration, it cannot reduce the axial vibration acceleration of the pressure reducing valve assembly itself. Moreover, the bellows compensator is easy to break and troublesome to replace. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an automatic pressure regulating and noise-reducing sleeve valve, thereby resolving the issues existing in the prior art.
[0007] This invention provides an automatic pressure regulating silencer sleeve valve, comprising an inlet bend section, a resistive silencer layer, a small-hole silencer pipe, a valve plate, and a valve stem. The valve stem drives the valve plate to move. The pipe axis of the inlet bend section is perpendicular to the pipe axis of the small-hole silencer pipe. The outlet end of the inlet bend section is connected to the inlet end of the small-hole silencer pipe. A small hole is formed in the pipe wall of the small-hole silencer pipe to form an outlet. The valve plate is axially movable inside the small-hole silencer pipe. The resistive silencer layer is sleeved on the outside of the small-hole silencer pipe to form a shell pipe. The shell pipe formed by the resistive silencer layer has an airflow outlet.
[0008] Furthermore, the inlet bend section is also provided with a sealing cap that is coaxially connected to the small-hole silencer pipe. The sealing cap is coaxially connected to the valve stem support seat, and the valve stem is coaxially and movably mounted on the valve stem support seat.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixedly installed inside the small-hole silencer pipe, and a tail end cap is provided at the end of the small-hole silencer pipe away from the inlet bend section. The small hole of the small-hole silencer pipe is located between the sealing ring and the tail end cap, and there is an annular gap between the small-hole silencer pipe and the valve plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the tail end cap of the small-hole silencer is coaxially connected to the valve stem support, the valve stem is coaxially and movably mounted on the valve stem support, the valve stem is supported by the valve stem support of the sealing gland and the valve stem support of the tail end cap of the small-hole silencer, and the valve stem drive end is connected to a hydraulic cylinder.
[0011] The valve plate is axially movable between the sealing ring and the tail end cap. The valve plate is coaxially fixed on the valve stem, and a sealing gasket is provided on the side of the valve plate near the sealing ring.
[0012] Furthermore, the valve plate is fixedly connected to the large end of a telescopic conical sleeve assembly on the side away from the tail end cap of the small hole silencer pipe, and the small end of the sleeve assembly is fixedly connected to a sleeve fixing sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, the sleeve fixing sleeve is installed on the inlet side of the small hole silencer pipe, and both the sleeve assembly and the sleeve fixing sleeve are sleeved on the outside of the valve stem.
[0014] Furthermore, the perforated silencer has small holes evenly distributed on the pipe wall, and the total flow area of the small holes on the pipe wall accounts for 30-100% of the flow area of the perforated pipe cross section.
[0015] Furthermore, the resistive sound-absorbing layer has an inner layer, an outer layer, and a filling layer, wherein the inner layer is a perforated steel plate facing, the outer layer is a steel plate, and the filling layer is a sound-absorbing material.
[0016] Furthermore, the sleeve assembly consists of 4-10 conical sleeves.
[0017] The automatic pressure regulating and silencing sleeve valve of this invention can be used at the pressure regulating point of blast furnace gas. The valve plate position is controlled by pushing the valve stem through the hydraulic system, and the pressure difference before and after the valve is controlled by controlling the flow area of the perforated steel pipe. The valve noise and vibration are effectively reduced by using throttling pressure reduction and small-hole injection silencing method.
[0018] This invention allows for automatic pressure regulation by adjusting the valve opening using a hydraulic device based on the pressure before and after the sleeve valve. The automatic pressure-regulating and silencer sleeve valve can be used alone or in parallel to form a valve group. By cooperating with an automatically adjustable silencer and rectifier grid, it can significantly reduce the pressure drop of the gas pressure-reducing valve group, thereby reducing the excitation force generated by the pressure-reducing valve group. This reduces noise and vibration in the entire system, improving the dynamic characteristics of the pipeline system and resulting in lower vibration.
[0019] When in use, the automatic pressure regulating and silencing sleeve valve of the present invention forms throttling at the telescopic sleeve and valve port, throttling at the valve plate and the inner wall of the perforated pipe, and throttling at the small hole of the perforated pipe. Its own multi-stage throttling and pressure reduction effect reduces the impact and noise generated by the gas pressure reducing valve group, and a silencer is not required downstream.
[0020] When the airflow passes through the perforated pipe, it forms many small jets, which then mix into a large jet with a larger area and lower velocity. The diffusion through the small holes can effectively reduce the turbulence noise and impact noise generated by the jet. As the diameter of the small holes decreases, the maximum noise reduction can reach 28dB.
[0021] The perforated tube of the automatic pressure regulating silencer sleeve valve of this invention has a frequency shifting effect on the noise of air jetting, which can shift the noise spectrum to higher frequencies. The resistive sound-absorbing layer installed outside the perforated tube has a good sound absorption effect on noise, especially high frequencies. The entire silencer sleeve valve is a composite structure of perforated jetting and resistive sound absorption, resulting in greater noise reduction.
[0022] This invention features active noise reduction with a large noise reduction capacity. Compared to the traditional butterfly valve's small-range pressure regulation action of 0-40 degrees, the automatic pressure regulating and noise-reducing sleeve valve of this invention has a larger pressure regulation action range and more linear pressure regulation.
