Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of valve wrenches, and in particular to a hydrophobic regulating valve auxiliary opening and closing device. Background Art

[0002] In thermal power plants, the extraction steam heat recovery system is an important energy recovery system that can significantly improve the power generation efficiency of the unit and reduce the coal consumption per unit of electricity. The high and low pressure heaters at each level are devices for heat exchange in the extraction steam heat recovery system. The stable operation of the heater will directly determine the stable operation of the extraction steam heat recovery system, and maintaining a certain height of the heater water level is an important condition to ensure the stable operation of the heater. The opening and closing of the heater drain valve affects the heater water level. If the heater water level is too low, part of the non-condensable steam will enter the next stage heater through the drain pipe, which will squeeze the steam intake of the next stage heater and increase the cold source loss. If the water level is low for a long time, the drain is in a steam-water two-phase flow state, which will cause scouring and leakage of the heater tube bundle and affect safety; if the water level of the heater is too high, the heat transfer surface will be submerged by water, and the heat transfer efficiency will decrease. In severe cases, it may even cause water inflow to the turbine, causing water shock, which seriously affects the safe operation of the unit. Therefore, in the daily maintenance work of the power plant, a special tool that can quickly open and close the heater drain valve is needed.

[0003] Generally, when opening and closing the manual high-pressure drain regulating valve, an F-type wrench is used for operation. This method has the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) The force-bearing point of the valve handwheel is small, and it is not easy to find a suitable position for operation when using an F-type wrench. Generally, multiple positioning is required, which is inefficient;

[0005] (2) When using an F-type wrench to open and close the valve, the wrench and the handwheel are prone to slipping, which poses a safety hazard to the operator and is prone to damage to the valve stem and other components;

[0006] (3) Multiple people are required to operate the valve. One person using an F-type wrench often cannot reach the torque required to open and close the valve. Multiple people are required to use F-type wrenches at different positions at the same time to operate the valve, which greatly wastes manpower and material resources. Summary of the invention

In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0036] Example 1, reference Figure 1-Figure 8 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a hydrophobic valve auxiliary opening and closing device, the device comprising a support unit 100, a torque amplification unit 200, and a connection unit 300;

[0041] During use, the clamping sleeve 103 is clamped on the pipeline, the connecting sleeve 101 is supported by the support arm 102, the connecting unit 300 is placed on the valve handwheel, the amplifier body 201 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 101, and the output shaft 203 is clamped on the connecting block 304, and the clamping column 302 is driven to move by the driving component 303, so that the clamping column 302 is clamped on the valve handwheel, and the torque wrench is clamped on the input shaft 202.
