Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of water inlet ball valves, and in particular to a water inlet ball valve for a pumped storage power station. Background Art

[0002] In modern electric energy, pumped storage power stations play an extremely important role. They can pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir for storage when the power load is low, and release water to generate electricity when the power load is peak, effectively regulating the balance of power supply and demand and ensuring the stable operation of the power grid. Among them, the water inlet ball valve, as one of the key equipment in the water delivery system of the pumped storage power station, is responsible for controlling the on and off of the high-pressure water flow and ensuring the sealing performance of the system. Its performance directly affects the operating efficiency, safety and reliability of the entire pumped storage power station.

[0003] Traditional water inlet ball valves have exposed many problems during long-term operation. On the one hand, in terms of sealing control, most use hydraulic oil as the control medium to drive the sealing structure. However, due to the harsh working environment of the water inlet ball valve, under the long-term action of high-pressure water, the hydraulic oil is very easy to leak and mix into the water, forming the phenomenon of oil mixed with water. This will not only lead to a decrease in sealing performance, cause water leakage accidents, and affect the normal operation of the power station, but also the leaked hydraulic oil will pollute the environment and increase the cost of environmental protection treatment. In addition, once the problem of oil mixed with water occurs, the maintenance process is complicated and time-consuming, and the entire sealing control system needs to be fully checked and cleaned, which seriously affects the power generation efficiency of the power station.

[0004] On the other hand, the valve switch and sealing process of the traditional water inlet ball valve are often interrelated and complex to control. This integrated control method makes it more difficult to troubleshoot and locate the fault when the equipment fails, and maintenance personnel need to spend a lot of time to analyze and determine whether the problem is with the valve switch mechanism or the sealing structure. Moreover, during the maintenance process, due to the correlation between the two, multiple components may need to be disassembled and adjusted at the same time, which further increases the maintenance workload and maintenance costs, and reduces the availability of the equipment.

[0015] Compared with the related art, the water inlet ball valve of a pumped storage power station provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The present invention uses a unique four-way valve and two-cavity structural design, uses upstream high-pressure water to be processed by sedimentation, filtration, etc., and then alternately transports water to different cavities A and B, and then uses water pressure to control the coordination of the water sealing ring and the water sealing circle, thereby realizing the separate control of the seal and the valve switch. This design effectively avoids the problem of oil mixing with water in the traditional water inlet ball valve system, greatly improves the stability and reliability of the system operation, ensures that the high-pressure water source control process of the pumped storage power station will not cause failures due to medium mixing, and ensures the safety and continuity of the operation of the entire power station;

[0017] 2. The present invention reduces the reliance on complex mechanical structures and a large number of external power sources by using water pressure to assist in controlling the opening and closing of the water sealing ring. Compared with the traditional water inlet ball valve, only a small amount of structure needs to be added to achieve efficient water intake and sealing functions, which reduces the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment. In addition, due to the relatively simple structure and easy operation, the failure rate of the equipment in the long-term operation process is significantly reduced, which further reduces the operating cost and improves the overall cost performance of the equipment.

[0018] 3. The present invention can effectively remove impurities such as silt in the upstream water intake by setting a sedimentation tank and a filter between the upstream water intake pipe and the downstream water intake pipe, so that the water entering the four-way valve and the subsequent control pipeline remains clean, which not only avoids the wear and blockage of the valve seal and the internal pipeline by impurities, prolongs the service life of the valve and related components, but also ensures the accuracy and stability of water pressure control, improves the accuracy and response speed of the water inlet ball valve to the high-pressure water source control, and ensures that the pumped storage power station can accurately and efficiently regulate the water flow under various working conditions;

[0019] 4. The present invention greatly facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the equipment by controlling the sealing process and the valve opening and closing process separately. When a sealing structure or a valve fails, the corresponding part can be inspected, repaired or replaced separately without large-scale disassembly and debugging of the entire water inlet ball valve system. This greatly shortens the equipment maintenance time, reduces the power station downtime caused by equipment maintenance, improves the operating efficiency and power generation benefits of the pumped storage power station, and also reduces the work intensity and technical difficulty of maintenance personnel, which is conducive to the long-term stable operation and management of the equipment.

[0046] The working principle of a water inlet ball valve for a pumped storage power station provided by the present invention is as follows: when it is necessary to control the opening of the built-in valve 11, the four-way valve 65 is controlled in advance to move, so that the water stored in the four-way valve 65 is transported to the cavity B53, and the interior thereof is filled with water so that the water sealing ring 51 moves away from the water sealing ring 5 on the corresponding side, thereby realizing the sealed opening, and then the hydraulic cylinder 42 is controlled to work so that its telescopic end drives the rocker arm 41 to rotate, driving the valve control switch 4 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the built-in valve 11, thereby realizing the closing of the ball valve; when it is necessary to control the closing of the built-in valve 11, the hydraulic cylinder 42 is used to drive the rocker arm 41 to rotate, and the valve control switch 4 rotates in the opposite direction, so as to realize the reverse rotation of the built-in valve 11, thereby realizing the opening of the ball valve, and then the four-way valve 65 is controlled to move, so that the water stored in the four-way valve 65 is transported to the cavity A52, and the interior thereof is filled with water so that the water sealing ring 51 moves in the opposite direction and presses against the water sealing ring 5 on the corresponding side, thereby realizing a good sealing of the inside of the ball valve.

[0047] High-pressure water is transported from the upstream connecting pipe 2 to the interior of the valve body 1, so that the high-pressure water taken from the upstream connecting pipe 2 is transported to the interior of the upstream water intake pipe 6, and the water in the upstream water intake pipe 6 then enters the sand settling tank 63, so that the silt in the water is settled in the water of the sand settling tank 63, and the water in the sand settling tank 63 enters the filter 632 for further filtration, and then the filtered water is transported to the interior of the four-way valve 65 to control the opening and closing of the pipeline of the four-way valve 65, so that the water inside it alternately flows to the two main branches 66 or the auxiliary branches 67, so that the water is automatically filtered and distributed to the corresponding pipelines, and then alternately transported to different cavities A52 or cavities B53, so that the water pressure can be used to better assist in controlling the opening and closing of the water sealing ring 5 in the ball valve, and the water intake sealing effect in the ball valve can be achieved by adding a small amount of structure, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of oil mixing with water in the water inlet ball valve system, and ensure that it will not affect the operation of the entire system. The sealing process and the valve opening and closing process are controlled separately, which is also convenient for inspection and maintenance, beneficial to the operation of the water inlet ball valve system, and greatly increases the overall service life of the water inlet ball valve.
