Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to a full-diameter, high-temperature and high-pressure butterfly valve. Background Art

[0002] Due to the structural characteristics of butterfly valve products, the opening and closing parts such as the disc plate, valve shaft, and valve seat occupy more space inside the valve body. Therefore, butterfly valve products cannot achieve the full flow of the pipeline design and can only be manufactured according to the reduced diameter (smaller than the pipeline design) (for example, the pipeline design is 500mm, and the butterfly valve uses a DN500 diameter, but its actual effective flow area is only about 400-450mm). Therefore, relevant butterfly valve standards at home and abroad have a minimum valve seat diameter (generally not less than about 90% of the inner diameter of the pipeline), that is, the minimum valve seat diameter of a butterfly valve designed for a pipeline inner diameter of 500mm is generally 475mm (95% of the inner diameter of the pipeline) and can be as small as 450mm (90% of the inner diameter of the pipeline). In addition, the valve shaft runs through the valve body, and there is a disc plate on the valve shaft. The entire cross-section occupies a large area inside the pipeline, so butterfly valve products cannot achieve the full flow of the pipeline.

[0003] Due to the requirements of the process system and cost savings, the design of the pipeline is basically to just meet the system operation requirements. At this time, if a butterfly valve is used, it is equivalent to making a pipeline diameter change in disguise, and the original large pipeline is forced to be changed to 1~2 specifications smaller through the butterfly valve. This brings troubles to the system design and operation. If a pipeline with 1~2 specifications larger is designed (for example, the 500mm pipeline above needs to use a flow rate that can reach the full-diameter requirement of the 500mm pipeline, the pipeline can only be designed to be one or two specifications larger and use a 600mm pipeline. At the same time, the butterfly valve uses DN600 to achieve a pipeline flow of about 500mm), due to the long pipeline, a pipeline with 1~2 specifications larger will bring a lot of capital waste to the investment, so only ball valves and other valves that can achieve full-diameter flow can be used. However, after the pipeline is larger than 600mm, the manufacturing cost of the ball valve is too high and the manufacturing difficulty is large.

[0004] In order to maximize the flow rate, the current butterfly valve can only design the valve stem to be the smallest, the disc plate to be the thinnest, and the valve seat to be the largest. However, due to its internal structure, these structural components must exist. The maximum small and thin design can only alleviate this difficulty to a certain extent. At the same time, due to the weakening of the internal structural components, the strength of the internal structural components is reduced, so that the product's operating pressure is not high, causing safety hazards.

[0005] In addition, since the sizes of pipelines internationally are based on the outer diameter, the higher the pressure, the thicker the pipe wall. Under the premise that the outer diameter of the pipeline remains unchanged, the thicker the wall thickness, the smaller the inner diameter will only become.

[0006] Since the internal structural components of the butterfly valve, such as the valve shaft, disc plate, valve seat, and sealing ring, are pressure-bearing components, the higher the pressure, the greater the strength required. For metal materials, under the premise that the material remains unchanged, the only way to increase the strength is to increase the size of the material. The larger the valve shaft size, the greater the strength; the thicker the disc plate, the greater the strength; the thicker the axial and radial dimensions of the valve seat and sealing ring, the greater the strength.

[0007] There is an inevitable physical conflict here. The higher the pressure level of the pipeline, the smaller the inner diameter. The higher the pressure level of the valve, the larger and thicker the internal structural components are, and the larger the internal space they occupy. The inner diameter of the pipeline shrinks as the pressure level increases (for example, the outer diameter of a pipeline with a nominal diameter of 500mm is 508mm, the wall thickness is 32 at PN420, and the inner diameter is only 508-32X2=444mm). The higher the pressure level of the valve, the higher the strength requirement of the internal structural components, the larger the size, and the larger the space it occupies (for example, the total area of ​​the internal structural components of a DN500 butterfly valve at PN420 accounts for about 32% of the pipeline, that is, the original inner diameter of only 444 minus about 140mm, and the actual effective flow area is less than 304mm in diameter). Such physical conflict is inevitable.

[0008] The physical conflict is reflected in two aspects. One is that the inner diameter of the pipeline decreases with the increase of pressure level, while the internal structure of the butterfly valve increases with the increase of pressure level.

[0009] Therefore, another physical conflict is reflected in the internal structural components of the butterfly valve, that is, the structural performance of the internal structural components is required to be stronger, and the volume of the internal structural components is required to be smaller.

[0010] There are two dead loops that cannot be solved, so the current butterfly valve design does not consider such flow factors, but only considers strength. This leads to the flow rate of many pipelines with designed sizes being only 20% to 70% of the designed pipeline after the butterfly valve is installed, causing production problems and even safety hazards to the system.

[0011] Therefore, a full-bore high-temperature and high-pressure butterfly valve is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0018] Preferably, the temperature and pressure control system includes a temperature acquisition module, an air pressure acquisition module, and a main control module.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0049] Furthermore, the terms “first”, “second”, “third”, etc. are merely used for distinguishing descriptions and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0050] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0051] A full-bore high-temperature and high-pressure butterfly valve, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a valve body 1, and the valve body 1 includes two inlets and an inner cavity connected to the two inlets. The inlet is used to communicate with the pipeline and its diameter is the same as the pipeline diameter. The diameter of the inner cavity is 1-2 specifications larger than the pipeline diameter. The valve body 1 located at the inlet and the inner cavity is set to have a 15° flare for smooth transition;

[0052] The top surface of the valve body 1 is provided with an opening communicating with the inner cavity. A valve cover 8 capable of closing the opening is connected to the valve body 1 by bolts. The valve cover 8 is in an inverted T shape. A valve shaft 3 extending into the valve body 1 is rotatably connected in the valve cover 8. The lower end of the valve shaft 3 is fixedly connected to a plane bearing 2 in the valve body 1. A butterfly plate 4 is detachably connected to the valve shaft 3. The valve body 1 located in the inner cavity is detachably connected to a metal valve seat 6 through a valve seat fixing ring 5. A metal sealing ring 7 capable of contacting the metal valve seat 6 is fixedly connected to the butterfly plate 4.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the valve cover 8 is fixedly connected with an actuator 11 link bracket 10, and the actuator 11 is fixedly connected to the actuator 11 link bracket 10. The actuator 11 output shaft of the actuator 11 passes through the actuator 11 link bracket 10 to the valve cover 8. The lower end of the actuator 11 output shaft of the actuator 11 is transmission connected with the upper end of the valve shaft 3. A self-lubricating bearing 16 and a bearing pressure ring 15 located above the self-lubricating bearing 16 are arranged between the outer ring of the actuator 11 output shaft of the actuator 11 and the inner ring of the valve cover 8. A sealing packing 14 is also arranged between the outer ring of the actuator 11 output shaft of the actuator 11 and the inner ring of the valve cover 8. The upper end of the valve cover 8 is fixedly connected with a packing pressure plate 13 for pressing down the sealing packing 14 by bolts.

[0054] The specification refers to the nominal diameter. In order to reduce the resistance and pressure drop loss when the fluid flows inside the butterfly valve, the valve body 1 at the inlet and the inner cavity is specially designed with a 15° trumpet-shaped expansion. This design not only increases the volume of the inner cavity, but also effectively reduces the energy loss of the fluid medium when it flows through by means of smooth transition.

[0055] In order to adapt to the diameter of the pipeline, the inner cavity of the valve body 1 is designed to be 1 to 2 specifications larger than the diameter of the pipeline. At the same time, the sizes of the metal valve seat 6 and the metal sealing ring 7 also exceed the design size of the pipeline accordingly. This design means that the traditional side assembly method is no longer applicable, because the size of the valve seat exceeds the inner diameter of the pipeline and cannot be assembled from the side. Therefore, the traditional side assembly is transformed into assembly from the top to ensure that the butterfly valve can be installed smoothly.

[0056] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the outer ring of the valve cover 8 is fixedly connected with a fin-shaped high-temperature radiator 9, the upper end of the valve shaft 3 is fixedly connected with a transmission plate 21 that can rotate and slide in the valve cover 8, and there is a gap between the lower end of the actuator 11 output shaft of the actuator 11 and the transmission plate 21. The lower end surface of the actuator 11 output shaft of the actuator 11 is provided with a spline groove 17, and a spline shaft 18 is slidably connected in the spline groove 17. The lower end of the spline shaft 18 is fixedly connected with a transmission pressure plate 19 that can slide and rotate in the valve cover 8. A through hole 20 that is arranged through and in the shape of an inverted truncated cone is provided on the transmission pressure plate 19. The transmission pressure plate 19 separates the valve cover 8 between the transmission plate 21 and the actuator 11 output shaft of the actuator 11 into a buffer. The warm space 22 and the cooling space 23 located above it, the valve cover 8 located at the cooling space 23 is connected with an inlet pipe 24 and an outlet pipe 29, the inlet pipe 24 is connected with a first inlet branch pipe 26 and a second inlet branch pipe 27 through a first three-way solenoid valve 25, the second inlet branch pipe 27 is connected with an intake pump 28, the outlet pipe 29 is connected with a first outlet branch pipe 31 and a second outlet branch pipe 33 through a second three-way solenoid valve 30, the first outlet branch pipe 31 is connected with an exhaust pump 32, and also includes a temperature and pressure control system, which controls the exhaust pump 32 and the intake pump 28 to work and adjust the pipeline flow path according to the air pressure collected in the warming space 22 and the cooling space 23, and the temperature collected on the valve cover 8.

[0057] The high-temperature radiator 9 can be made of copper to increase the heat exchange area between the valve cover 8 and the outside air, and then dissipate heat. If the temperature and pressure control system detects that the temperature of the valve cover 8 exceeds the threshold value and causes the volume and air pressure of the slow-temperature space 22 and the cooling space 23 to change, it means that the heat has been transferred to the position of the valve cover 8 biased towards the upper end. At this time, it is necessary to control the air intake pump 28 to stop working, the air extraction pump 32 to work, and adjust the pipeline flow path, and the air extraction volume of the air extraction pump 32 is greater than the air intake volume, so that under the adjustment of the air pressure, the transmission pressure plate 19 is displaced upward, and the transmission pressure plate 19 can be separated from the transmission plate 21. At this time, the heat can only be transferred through the valve cover 8, and in this process, the operation of the air extraction pump 32 makes the air flow quickly, and then the air quickly takes away the heat, so that the temperature at this place drops rapidly, avoiding the heat from being further transferred upward through the valve shaft 3 and the valve cover 8, avoiding the actuator 11 from being damaged by the influence of high temperature, and also preventing the sealing packing 14 from expanding and aging due to high temperature.

[0058] Preferably, the temperature and pressure control system includes a temperature acquisition module, an air pressure acquisition module, and a main control module. The output ends of the temperature acquisition module and the air pressure acquisition module are coupled to the input end of the main control module. The output end of the main control module is coupled to the air extraction pump 32, the air intake pump 28, the first three-way solenoid valve 25, and the second three-way solenoid valve 30 respectively. The temperature acquisition module is used to collect multiple temperatures of the valve cover 8 located on the outer ring of the transmission plate 21 and feed them back to the main control module. The air pressure acquisition module is used to collect the air pressure in the slow temperature space 22 and the cooling space 23 and feed them back to the main control module. The main control module is used to make a secondary judgment based on the feedback information of the temperature acquisition module and the air pressure acquisition module and control the air extraction pump 32, the air intake pump 28, the first three-way solenoid valve 25, and the second three-way solenoid valve 30 to work;

[0059] The temperature acquisition module includes a plurality of temperature sensors arranged on the outer ring of the valve cover 8 and located above the high-temperature radiator 9. The outer ring of the valve cover 8 has a detection range between the output shaft of the actuator 11 and the high-temperature radiator 9. The probes of the plurality of temperature sensors are arranged on the outer ring of the valve cover 8 within the detection range. The plurality of temperature sensors are divided into a plurality of groups. The probes of each group of temperature sensors are arranged at different heights. The probes of the same group of temperature sensors are arranged at various locations of the outer ring of the valve cover 8 at the same horizontal height.

[0060] The air pressure collection module is used to collect the air pressure in the buffer space 22 and the cooling space 23 and feed it back to the main control module. It includes a lower air pressure sensor and an upper air pressure sensor. The detection end of the lower air pressure sensor is connected to the buffer space 22, and the detection end of the upper air pressure sensor is connected to the cooling space 23.

[0061] The temperature acquisition module in the temperature and pressure control system can perform multiple detections on the outer ring temperature of the valve cover 8 within the detection range, so as to ensure that the final output temperature data is more accurate and avoid the situation where the local temperature is too high. The air pressure acquisition module collects the air pressure in the buffer space 22 and the cooling space 23. Through the collection of air pressure, it is judged whether the air pressure balance will be destroyed due to high temperature when the transmission pressure plate 19 does not move and the air pressure in the buffer space 22 and the cooling space 23 remains constant. If the air pressure balance is destroyed, it can further indicate that the high temperature is transmitted to the position of the valve cover 8 within the detection range, avoiding misjudgment.

[0062] Preferably, the main control module is used to make a secondary judgment based on the feedback information of the temperature acquisition module and the air pressure acquisition module and control the operation of the air extraction pump 32, the air intake pump 28, the first three-way solenoid valve 25, and the second three-way solenoid valve 30, including the following steps:

[0063] Store each set of temperature data in a two-dimensional array and calculate the average temperature;

[0064] Traverse the average value array and count the number of groups that exceed the temperature threshold;

[0065] Check whether there is a group that exceeds the temperature threshold, and output a judgment result of yes, otherwise no judgment result is output.

[0066] Preferably, the main control module is used to make a secondary judgment based on the feedback information of the temperature acquisition module and the air pressure acquisition module and control the operation of the air extraction pump 32, the air intake pump 28, the first three-way solenoid valve 25, and the second three-way solenoid valve 30, including the following steps:

[0067] After a judgment result is yes, the lower air pressure sensor and the upper air pressure sensor respectively continuously collect the air pressure data in the slow temperature space 22 and the cooling space 23 to obtain the lower air pressure and the upper air pressure;

[0068] Calculate the rate of change of air pressure in the slow temperature space 22;

[0069] Calculate the rate of change of air pressure in the cooling space 23;

[0070] Set the pressure change threshold and determine whether it exceeds the pressure change threshold;

[0071] Continuously collect air pressure data and set a time window to observe whether the air pressure changes continue;

[0072] If the continuous state indicator exceeds the threshold value within the time window, the secondary determination result is output as yes, otherwise the secondary determination result is not output.

[0073] Preferably, the main control module is used to make a secondary judgment based on the feedback information of the temperature acquisition module and the air pressure acquisition module and control the operation of the air extraction pump 32, the air intake pump 28, the first three-way solenoid valve 25, and the second three-way solenoid valve 30, including the following steps:

[0074] After receiving the secondary determination result as yes, the main control module controls the air intake pump 28 to stop working, the air extraction pump 32 to work, and adjusts the flow path of the pipeline, and the air extraction amount of the air extraction pump 32 is greater than the air intake amount;

[0075] After receiving the valve closing instruction, flow adjustment or valve opening instruction, the main control module controls the air intake pump 28 to work, the air extraction pump 32 to stop working, and adjusts the pipeline flow path, and the air intake volume of the air intake pump 28 is greater than the air outlet volume.

[0076] Through the above method, two judgments can be made, and then it can be determined whether the position where the detection range of the valve cover 8 is located is affected by high temperature. If this happens, the transmission pressure plate 19 can be separated from the transmission plate 21, and then a large amount of heat can be taken away by the flow of air. On the contrary, if adjustment is required, it is only necessary to operate the intake pump 28, so that the transmission pressure plate 19 presses the transmission plate 21, and then the actuator 11 drives the transmission pressure plate 19 to rotate through the sequence of the actuator 11 output shaft, the spline groove 17 and the spline shaft 18. The transmission pressure plate 19 drives the transmission plate 21 to rotate through friction. Once the transmission plate 21 rotates, the valve shaft 3 will drive the butterfly plate 4 to rotate in the valve body 1, and then complete the opening, adjustment, and closing actions.

[0077] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
