Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of valves, and in particular relates to a pneumatic regulating valve with toughness. Background Art

[0002] Pneumatic control valve is a valve that uses compressed gas as the power source medium, cylinder as the actuator, and is used with the help of valve positioners, gas tanks, gas filters and other accessories to achieve on-off regulation. Pneumatic control valve is mainly composed of valve and pneumatic actuator used to drive the valve; among them, pneumatic actuator is the thrust component of pneumatic control valve, which can generate corresponding thrust according to the size of control signal pressure to push the regulating component in the valve to move; the regulating component in the valve includes a movable valve core with a valve stem, which is in direct contact with the fluid and can adjust the flow.

[0003] At present, there are often liquid impurities in the natural gas used as the power source medium of the pneumatic control valve, which will affect the normal operation of the pneumatic control valve. In addition, during the control process, the valve stem and valve wall are often impacted due to the unstable flow rate and uneven flow rate of the gas in the pipeline, which seriously affects the normal operation of the valve, and even causes failures such as valve stem breakage after severe impact. The existing pneumatic control valve lacks a structure to remove liquid impurities in the power source medium, and also lacks a structure to improve the anti-fracture ability of the valve stem. The direction of its previous improvement is mainly aimed at reducing the impact of gas flow and replacing failed structures.

[0004] In terms of reducing the impact of gas flow: For example, the Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN115539699A discloses a pneumatic multi-stage step-down regulating valve, including a valve body, a sleeve movably mounted on the top of the valve body, a valve core movably connected to the top of the sleeve, a valve cover movably mounted on the top of the valve core, a gland and a bracket movably mounted on the top of the valve cover, a first bolt movably connected to the bottom of the valve cover, and a pneumatic diaphragm actuator movably mounted on the top of the bracket. Through the arrangement of the sleeve, valve cover, gland, pneumatic diaphragm actuator, bracket and valve core, it is easy to make the valve flow capacity larger, while avoiding the generation of blocked flow, reducing the damage to the inner cavity of the valve body, and being able to work stably for a long time, but this cannot effectively eliminate the impact of a large mass of natural gas flow that suddenly appears in the pipeline, and it is still easy to damage the regulating components of the valve.

[0005] In terms of replacing failed structures: For example, the Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN114776873A discloses an easily replaceable pneumatic tank bottom regulating valve, including a diaphragm actuator, a fixing mechanism and at least two driving mechanisms, the diaphragm actuator includes an upper end cover and a lower end cover, a diaphragm is arranged in the lower end cover, and the edges of the lower end cover and the diaphragm are provided with insertion holes, and each driving mechanism includes an electric motor, a movable rod and a wedge-shaped block 1, one end of the movable rod is fixedly connected to the wedge-shaped block 1, and the fixing mechanism includes a movable ring and a fixing frame, and at least two wedge-shaped blocks 2 are installed on the top of the movable ring. The use of bolts is greatly reduced by setting the driving mechanism and fixing mechanism, and the lower end cover and the diaphragm are fixed by inserting the plug into the insertion hole and using the multi-fold fixing rod to press the lower end cover and the diaphragm, so that the lower end cover and the diaphragm can be quickly disassembled, and the purpose of easy replacement of the diaphragm is achieved, but it does not take into account the replacement or self-repair of the valve stem in the valve body that is more vulnerable to damage.

[0038] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0039] (1) Since the first rod segment is the rod segment of the valve stem in the flow channel of the valve body and is the part that mainly bears the impact of the power source medium during the operation of the pneumatic control valve, improving its ability to resist fracture can improve the toughness of the valve stem. The pneumatic control valve provided by the present invention is configured such that at least part of the first rod segment is a tough rod segment, and the tough rod segment is mainly composed of a rod segment body, and a first rod barrel and a second rod barrel that are sleeved outside the rod segment body and coaxially connected by a first flexible structure. When the pneumatic control valve is operating normally, power is mainly transmitted by the rod segment body of the tough rod segment. When the valve stem is severely impacted and the rod segment body of the tough rod segment is broken, the first rod barrel and the second rod barrel connected by the first flexible structure can replace the rod segment body for power transmission, so as to automatically restore the function of the tough rod segment, thereby realizing self-repair of the valve stem and ensuring that the pneumatic control valve can quickly resume normal operation.

[0040] (2) By opening an ellipsoidal chamber with a larger cross-sectional size on the main flow channel of the valve body, the flow cross-sectional area and spatial volume of the power source medium can be increased, which can effectively reduce the speed of the power source medium flowing from the inlet flow channel into the main flow channel, thereby effectively reducing the impact of the power source medium on the regulating components in the valve during the operation of the valve.

[0041] (3) By providing a valve stem buffer structure in the valve, which is mainly composed of a third valve core with external threads, internal threads of the flow channel, and a second flexible structure, when the valve encounters a strong impact generated by the power source medium during operation, the external threads on the third valve core and the internal threads of the flow channel can cooperate to resist the impact and transfer the main impact force to the second flexible structure for buffering, thereby effectively reducing the impact of the valve stem, valve wall and each valve core, especially reducing the impact of a large group of power source medium that suddenly appears, thereby improving the service life of the valve; and, since the thread lead angle of the external threads on the third valve core and the internal threads of the flow channel is greater than the equivalent friction angle, the thread cooperation will not form self-locking, and after the impact is reduced, it can be ensured that the valve stem can drive the third valve core to move, so that the thread cooperation is released and the valve returns to a normal working state.

[0042] (4) The pneumatic regulating valve is provided with a gas filter mainly composed of a filter body, centrifugal blades, a diverter tube and a water tank. The kinetic energy of the power source medium can be used to drive the centrifugal blades to rotate, and then the rotating centrifugal blades can realize the gas-liquid stratification of the power source medium, wherein most of the gas phase flows into the valve through the clean gas channel, wherein the liquid phase and part of the gas phase will enter the annular liquid collecting groove formed between the outer wall of the diverter tube and the wall surface of the filter channel under the action of centrifugal force, and flow into the water tank through the liquid collecting pipe for collection, thereby realizing the separation of liquid impurities in the power source medium. Part of the gas phase that enters the water tank can return to the clean gas channel or the filter channel downstream of the diverter tube through the exhaust pipe, and then flow into the valve.

[0043] The technical effects brought about or directly produced by other technical features of the present invention will be described in detail in the subsequent specific implementation methods. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0057] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, a pneumatic control valve with toughness includes a valve and a pneumatic actuator 600 for driving the valve;

[0058] The valve comprises a valve body 100 having a top opening and a flow channel, a valve cover 200 disposed at the top opening of the valve body 100, and a valve stem 300 vertically passing through the valve cover 200 and partially extending into the flow channel of the valve body 100; the valve stem 300 is an important component of the valve, which is usually movably disposed to transmit power for the pneumatic actuator 600 to adjust the valve opening;

[0059] The stem section of the valve stem 300 in the flow channel of the valve body 100 is the first stem section, which is the valve stem portion that mainly bears the impact of the power source medium during the operation of the pneumatic regulating valve; at least part of the first stem section is a tough stem section 310, and the tough stem section 310 includes a stem section body 311, a first stem barrel 312 and a second stem barrel 313;

[0060] The first rod barrel 312 is sleeved on the rod segment body 311 and fixed relative to the upper end of the rod segment body 311; the first rod barrel 312 can usually be directly fixedly connected to the upper end of the rod segment body 311, or can be fixedly connected to other parts in the valve fixed relative to the upper end of the rod segment body 311;

[0061] The second rod barrel 313 is sleeved on the rod segment body 311 and fixed relative to the lower end of the rod segment body 311; the second rod barrel 313 can usually be directly fixedly connected to the lower end of the rod segment body 311, or can be fixedly connected to other parts in the valve fixed relative to the lower end of the rod segment body 311;

[0062] The upper end of the second rod barrel 313 is coaxially connected to the lower end of the first rod barrel 312 through a first flexible structure; a flexible structure is a structure that can bend, twist or stretch to a certain extent without permanent damage or failure; a flexible structure is usually made of a material with elasticity and flexibility, or parts made of such materials; the first flexible structure can be of various types, such as: a flexible coupling, a flexible pipe joint, a spring connection structure, etc.; the upper end of the second rod barrel 313 is coaxially connected to the lower end of the first rod barrel 312 through the first flexible structure, which can ensure that the first rod barrel 312 and the second rod barrel 313 basically do not participate in the power transmission of the valve stem 300 when the pneumatic control valve is working normally, but mainly participate in the power transmission of the valve stem 300. The power transmission needs to be carried out by the rod segment body 311 of the tough rod segment 310; on the other hand, the first flexible structure can ensure that the first rod barrel 312 and the second rod barrel 313 are basically coaxial, allowing a certain degree of coaxiality deviation, so as to facilitate assembly and ensure that when the rod segment body 311 of the tough rod segment 310 is broken, the first rod barrel 312 and the second rod barrel 313 connected by the first flexible structure can replace the rod segment body 311 for power transmission, so as to automatically restore the function of the tough rod segment 310, thereby realizing the self-repair of the valve stem 300; on another hand, the first flexible structure can also absorb and buffer the impact on the first rod segment during the operation of the pneumatic control valve, further enhancing the ability of the valve stem 300 to resist fracture.

[0063] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the upper end of the second rod tube 313 is nested with the lower end of the first rod tube 312, one of which is an outer sleeve and the other is an inner sleeve, and the walls of the nested position of the two are respectively the local inner wall of the outer sleeve and the local outer wall of the inner sleeve, the local inner wall is the first wall, and the local outer wall is the second wall; the first flexible structure includes an inner ring groove 314, an outer ring groove 315 and an elastic ring 316; the inner ring groove 314 is opened on the first wall; the outer ring groove 315 is opened on the second wall, and its position embedded in the outer sleeve is deeper than the position of the inner ring groove 314 in the outer sleeve; the elastic ring 316 is arranged in the inner ring groove 314 and abuts against the second wall; or, the elastic ring 316 is arranged in the outer ring groove 315 and abuts against the first wall. The upper end of the second rod barrel 313 is nested with the lower end of the first rod barrel 312, which not only increases the stability of the connection between the two, but also ensures the coaxiality of the connection between the two, and facilitates the setting of the first flexible structure; the first flexible structure mainly composed of the inner ring groove 314, the outer ring groove 315 and the elastic ring 316 is not only simple in structure, easy to process and assemble, but also ensures that the first rod barrel 312 and the second rod barrel 313 hardly transmit power when the pneumatic regulating valve is working normally, and because the outer ring groove 315 is embedded in the outer sleeve at a deeper position than the inner ring groove 314 in the outer sleeve, when the rod segment body 311 is broken, the broken rod segment body 311 will drive the first rod barrel 312 and the second rod barrel 313 are relatively far apart. When the movement reaches the point where the outer ring groove 315 is exactly corresponding to the inner ring groove 314, the elastic ring 316 originally arranged in the inner ring groove 314 will release the elastic potential energy and partially embed into the outer ring groove 315, or the elastic ring 316 originally arranged in the outer ring groove 315 will release the elastic potential energy and partially embed into the inner ring groove 314, thereby fixing the first rod barrel 312 and the second rod barrel 313 axially and radially. The connection is stable, the coaxiality is high and has a certain buffering capacity, thereby ensuring that the second rod barrel 313 and the first rod barrel 312 can replace the rod segment main body 311 for power transmission, so as to automatically restore the function of the tough rod segment 310 and realize the self-repair of the valve stem 300.

[0064] In some embodiments, the elastic ring 316 disposed in the inner ring groove 314 includes a rubber ring and a buckle structure disposed on the outer circumference of the rubber ring, and the elastic ring 316 disposed in the outer ring groove 315 includes a rubber ring and a buckle structure disposed on the inner circumference of the rubber ring. The buckle structure has higher rigidity than the rubber ring, and the buckle structure is provided to facilitate the elastic ring 316 to be inserted into the inner ring groove 314 or the outer ring groove 315, and to achieve a more stable connection.

[0065] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the flow channel includes a main flow channel 111, an inlet flow channel 112 connected to the bottom of the main flow channel 111, and an outlet flow channel 113 connected to the side of the main flow channel 111; the connection between the inlet flow channel 112 and the main flow channel 111 is a first intersection, a valve seat 114 is provided at the first intersection, a first valve core 410 is provided at the valve seat 114, and the first valve core 410 is connected to the lower end of the first rod section; the valve stem 300 can drive the first valve core 410 to move up and down, so that the inlet flow channel 112 and the main flow channel 111 are in a connected state Switch between the cut-off state and the cut-off state; the connection between the outflow channel 113 and the main channel 111 is the second intersecting port; the second valve core 420 is arranged on the first rod section, and the setting height of the second valve core 420 satisfies: when the first valve core 410 cooperates with the valve seat 114, that is, when the first valve core 410 makes the inflow channel 112 and the main channel 111 in the cut-off state, the second valve core 420 is not higher than the lower edge of the second intersecting port; the valve stem 300 can drive the second valve core 420 to move between the lower edge and the upper edge of the second intersecting port to change the opening of the second intersecting port. The flow channel of the above structure and the first valve core 410 and the second valve core 420 can realize the separate control of the inflow and outflow. Even if one of the valve cores is damaged, the pneumatic control valve will not fail, which is conducive to the precise control of the flow rate and improves the service life and safety of the valve.

[0066] For example Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the tough rod segment 310 is the rod segment of the valve stem 300 between the first valve core 410 and the second valve core 420, the first rod barrel 312 is fixedly connected to the second valve core 420, and the second rod barrel 313 is fixedly connected to the first valve core 410. The rod segment of the valve stem 300 between the first valve core 410 and the second valve core 420 is close to the first intersection, and is the part of the valve stem that is most susceptible to the impact of the power source medium and breaks. Setting it as the tough rod segment 310 can effectively improve the toughness of the valve stem 300. The first rod barrel 312 and the second valve core 420 can be set as an integrated structure, or they can be connected by a connection structure such as a thread or a connector; the second rod barrel 313 and the first valve core 410 can be set as an integrated structure, or they can be connected by a connection structure such as a thread or a connector. Among them, the connection stability of the integrated structure is high, the connection realized by the connection structure is convenient for assembly and disassembly, and the maintenance cost and difficulty are low.

[0067] Recombination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, an ellipsoidal chamber 115 is provided on the main channel 111, and the cross-sectional dimension of the ellipsoidal chamber 115 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the main channel 111. By providing an ellipsoidal chamber 115 with a larger cross-sectional dimension on the main channel 111 of the valve body 100, the flow cross-sectional area and spatial volume of the power source medium can be increased, and the speed at which the power source medium flows from the inlet flow channel 112 into the main channel 111 can be effectively reduced, thereby effectively reducing the impact on the regulating components in the valve during the operation of the valve. At the same time, the ellipsoidal structure of the ellipsoidal chamber 115 can, on the one hand, reduce the flow resistance and facilitate the smooth flow of the power source medium, and on the other hand, increase the strength of the valve body so that it can withstand a higher pressure difference; on the other hand, compared with structures of other shapes such as square and special shapes, the ellipsoidal chamber 115 is easier to cast and has a lower production cost.

[0068] In some embodiments, the ellipsoidal chamber 115 is preferably located between the lower edges of the first intersection and the second intersection to effectively reduce the impact on the tough rod segment 310 .

[0069] Recombination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a valve stem buffer structure is provided in the valve, and the valve stem buffer structure includes a third valve core 430 with an external thread, an internal flow channel thread matching the external thread on the third valve core 430, and a second flexible structure; the third valve core 430 is arranged on the first rod section and is located on the upper side of the second valve core 420; the internal flow channel thread is arranged on the side wall of the main flow channel 111 and is located on the upper side of the third valve core 430; the thread lead angle of the external thread on the third valve core 430 and the internal flow channel thread is greater than the equivalent friction angle, and the valve stem 300 can drive the third valve core 430 to move up and down, so that the external thread on the third valve core 430 and the internal flow channel thread switch between the mating state and the disengagement state; the second flexible structure is arranged on the first rod section and is located on the upper side of the third valve core 430. Among them, the second flexible structure can be multiple, for example: a flexible coupling, a bellows connection structure, a spring connection structure, etc. When the valve encounters a strong impact generated by the power source medium during operation, the external thread on the third valve core 430 can cooperate with the internal thread of the flow channel to resist the impact, and the main impact force can be transmitted to the second flexible structure for buffering, thereby effectively reducing the impact of the valve stem, valve wall and each valve core, especially reducing the impact of a sudden large group of power source medium, thereby improving the service life of the valve; moreover, since the thread lead angle of the external thread on the third valve core 430 and the internal thread of the flow channel is greater than the equivalent friction angle, the thread cooperation will not form self-locking. After the impact effect is reduced, it can be ensured that the valve stem 300 can drive the third valve core 430 to move, so that the thread cooperation is released and the valve returns to normal working state.

[0070] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the second flexible structure includes a cut-off 321 that divides the valve stem 300 into an upper valve stem section and a lower valve stem section, a lower boss 322 disposed at the bottom of the upper valve stem section, an upper boss 323 disposed at the top of the lower valve stem section, and a spring 324 that is sleeved on the lower boss 322 and the upper boss 323 and coaxially connects the upper valve stem section and the lower valve stem section. The second flexible structure is easy to manufacture and assemble. After the valve stem 300 encounters an impact, most of the impact effect can be concentrated on the spring 324 through the connection of the spring 324, so as to achieve buffering and energy absorption, and can reduce the impact of the power source medium, such as releasing elastic potential energy after a large mass of natural gas flows through, automatically releasing the cooperation between the external thread on the third valve core 430 and the internal thread of the flow channel, so that the valve returns to a normal working state.

[0071] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, in some embodiments, the pneumatic regulating valve further includes a gas filter 500, which includes a filter body 510, a centrifugal fan blade 520, a shunt cartridge 530 and a water tank 540; a filter channel 511 is provided in the filter body 510, and the gas outlet of the filter channel 511 is connected to the medium inlet of the valve; the centrifugal fan blade 520 is rotatably arranged in the filter channel 511 through a fan blade shaft 521, and the fan blade shaft 521 is coaxial with the filter channel 511; the shunt cartridge 530 is arranged in the filter channel 511 downstream of the centrifugal fan blade 520, and is kept in contact with the filter channel 511 The downstream end of the flow divider 530 is connected to the channel wall of the filter channel 511 in a closed manner, so that an annular liquid collecting groove 512 is formed between the outer wall of the flow divider 530 and the wall surface of the filter channel 511, and the inner cavity of the flow divider 530 forms a clean air channel; the water tank 540 is arranged on the lower side of the filter body 510, and a liquid collecting pipe 541 and an exhaust pipe 542 are arranged on the top thereof, and a liquid drain pipe 543 is arranged on the side thereof; the liquid inlet of the liquid collecting pipe 541 is connected to the bottom of the annular liquid collecting groove 512, and the gas outlet of the exhaust pipe 542 is connected to the clean air channel and / or the filter channel 511 downstream of the flow divider 530. Among them, the downstream is determined according to the direction of the power source medium flowing in the gas filter 500. The gas filter can utilize the kinetic energy of the power source medium to drive the centrifugal blades 520 to rotate, and then the rotating centrifugal blades 520 can realize the gas-liquid stratification of the power source medium, wherein most of the gas phase flows into the valve through the clean gas channel, wherein the liquid phase and part of the gas phase will gather at the wall of the filter channel 511 under the action of centrifugal force, and move forward into the annular liquid collecting groove 512 formed between the outer wall of the diverter cylinder 530 and the wall of the filter channel 511, and then flow into the water tank 540 through the liquid collecting pipe 541 for collection, thereby realizing the separation of liquid impurities in the power source medium, and part of the gas phase entering the water tank 540 can return to the clean gas channel or the filter channel 511 downstream of the diverter cylinder 530 through the exhaust pipe 542, and then flow into the valve.

[0072] Combination Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the centrifugal fan blade 520 includes a fan hub rotatably disposed on the fan shaft 521, and at least 10 evenly distributed curved blades are disposed on the circumference of the fan hub. The centrifugal fan blade 520 of this structure can better separate the gas and liquid, thereby improving the effect of the gas filter 500 in separating liquid impurities in the power source medium.

The drainage control system can ensure that after the liquid in the water tank 540 reaches a certain height, the liquid in the water tank 540 is automatically drained out, so as to ensure that the gas filter 500 can continue to work. The drainage control system can also control the drainage solenoid valve to close the drainage pipe 543 after the liquid in the water tank 540 is completely drained or discharged to the set water level.
