Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to an electric high-temperature gas butterfly valve. Background Art
[0002] Butterfly valve is a stop valve that isolates or regulates the flow of fluid. Its closing mechanism is disc-shaped, so it is called a butterfly valve. Butterfly valves are widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries. Compared with other forms of stop valves, such as ball valves, butterfly valves, and plug valves, butterfly valves have a simpler structure and are easier to clean after removal. High-temperature butterfly valves are used when the internal fluid is a high-temperature substance, such as steam, thermal oil, and high-temperature gas.
[0003] At present, due to the limitations of the use scenarios of high-temperature butterfly valves, the actuators of high-temperature butterfly valves are usually pneumatic in order to avoid damage to the electrical components of electric actuators caused by high temperatures; however, pneumatic actuators have the defect of low torque. The sealing fillers at the valve shaft of conventional high-temperature butterfly valves are generally made of modified polymer materials and graphite materials. However, the sealing fillers of conventional high-temperature butterfly valves still have some shortcomings: the thermal expansion coefficients of modified polymer materials and graphite materials are different from the thermal expansion coefficients of the metal materials of the valve body and valve shaft. Long-term high-temperature working conditions will cause irreversible changes in the volume of the sealing fillers, resulting in material leakage in the high-temperature butterfly valve; especially when the production is resumed after shutdown for maintenance. In addition, high-temperature working conditions will also accelerate the carbonization of the bearing grease at the valve shaft of the high-temperature butterfly valve, further reducing the service life of the high-temperature butterfly valve.

[0038] The upper valve seat 21 and the heat exchange seat 22 are provided with an upper sealing assembly, which is used to seal the material in the valve body 10 to prevent leakage and limit the upper part of the valve shaft 12. Figure 4 As shown, including:
[0039] The sealing sleeve is arranged on the upper movable ring 210 on the upper part of the valve shaft 12, and the upper movable ring 210 is accommodated in the upper valve seat 21. The upper end of the upper movable ring 210 is protruded with a cone ring 211, and the cone ring 211 is accommodated in the heat exchange seat 22. The cone ring 211 is provided with two groups, and the taper of the upper cone ring 211 is smaller than the taper of the lower cone ring 211, so that after the cone ring 211 is heated and expanded, it provides a change space for the lower cone ring 211 with a larger thermal expansion variable, thereby improving the sealing performance; a lower partition plate 220 is arranged at the lower part of the heat exchange seat 22, and an axial hole for penetrating the valve shaft 12 is arranged in the center of the lower partition plate 220, and a gap is set between the axial hole and the valve shaft 12, and an annular cone groove 221 is arranged at the lower end of the lower partition plate 220, and the cone groove 221 is sealed and connected with the cone ring 211, and a The perforated group 222 of the plate 220, the upper part of the heat exchange seat 22 is provided with an upper partition 223, and an oil seal ring 224 sealed and connected to the valve shaft 12 is provided in the center of the upper end of the upper partition 223. The oil seal ring 224 is coaxially stacked and arranged in multiples, and an oil seal gland 225 abutting against the oil seal ring 224 is fixedly arranged on the upper partition 223; a liquid inlet hole 226 and a liquid discharge hole 227 are penetrated on the side wall of the heat exchange seat 22 between the upper partition 223 and the lower partition 220, and the liquid inlet hole 226 and the liquid discharge hole 227 are used to circulate and supply cooling heat transfer oil to the heat exchange seat 22, and a temperature sensor is connected to the liquid discharge hole 227 to monitor the working condition of the butterfly valve; a connecting spline 228 is coaxially arranged on the upper end of the valve shaft 12, and the connecting spline 228 is transmission-connected to the electric actuator 3.
[0040] A lower valve seat 23 for accommodating the valve shaft 12 is disposed below the valve body 10. A lower sealing component is disposed in the lower valve seat 23. The lower sealing component is used to limit the lower portion of the valve shaft 12. Figure 5 As shown, including:
[0041] A sealing sleeve is arranged on a conical lower movable ring 230 at the lower part of the valve shaft 12, and the lower movable ring 230 is accommodated in the lower valve seat 23. The lower end of the valve shaft 12 is threadedly provided with a thrust assembly 231 abutting against the lower movable ring 230; a lower end sealing member 232 is provided for sealing at the lower end of the lower valve seat 23, and an annular groove is provided on the contact surface between the lower movable ring 232 and the lower valve seat 23 to improve the sealing performance; a conical sleeve 233 is protruding from the upper end of the lower movable ring 232, and the conical sleeve 233 is sealingly connected to the conical wall of the lower movable ring 230.
[0042] According to the specific structure of the electric high-temperature gas butterfly valve in the above embodiment, the thermal expansion under high-temperature working conditions is further described below:
[0043] The lower sealing assembly limits the pump shaft 12 so that the thermal expansion tendency of the pump shaft 12 extends upward along its axial direction. The upwardly extending pump shaft 12 causes the conical groove 221 to approach the conical ring 211, increasing the torque of the rotating pump shaft 12, so that the electric actuator 3 cannot smoothly open and close the high-temperature butterfly valve. The valve body 10 is made of metal, and the thermal expansion caused by the heat offsets the thermal expansion of the conical ring 211 approaching the conical groove 221 caused by the thermal expansion of the pump shaft 12.
[0044] The thermal expansion of the conical groove 221 and the conical ring 211 makes the contact parts of the two fit more closely, increasing the torque of the rotating pump shaft 12, so that the electric actuator 3 cannot smoothly open and close the high-temperature butterfly valve. The cone angle of the lower part of the conical ring 211 is larger, providing space for thermal expansion of the conical ring 211; the gap between the shaft hole in the center of the lower partition 220 and the valve shaft 12 is set to increase the radial thermal expansion space of the conical groove 221 and the conical ring 211.
[0045] The above structure can effectively control the fit tightness of the cone groove 221 and the cone ring 211 , so that the torque required to rotate the valve shaft 12 under high temperature conditions is within the working torque range of the electric actuator 3 .
[0046] Based on the above, the embodiments of the electric high temperature gas butterfly valve of the present invention are used as inspiration. Through the above description, relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical idea of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
