Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas pressure regulator technology, and more specifically, to a controller for a gas pressure regulator. Background Technology
[0002] A gas pressure regulator is a device that automatically adjusts the outlet pressure of gas to stabilize it within a certain pressure range. A gas pressure regulator consists of a pilot valve and a main valve. The inlet pressure of the regulator is collectively referred to as P1, which is relatively high, while the outlet pressure is collectively referred to as P2, which is relatively low and requires stability. Gas delivered through gas pipelines is regulated from P1 to P2 by the main valve of the regulator before being supplied to downstream pipelines or gas appliances. The driving pressure, collectively referred to as P3, lies between the inlet and outlet pressures and is the variable used to adjust the opening size of the main valve, provided by the pilot valve. The pilot valve, also known as the pilot valve, is a preamplifier in an indirect-acting regulator. Its function is to use the change in outlet pressure P2, amplify it to obtain the driving pressure P3, and then control the opening size of the main valve cylinder and valve seat to maintain the stability of the main valve outlet pressure P2 of the regulator.
[0003] The working principle of the pressure regulator is as follows: the inlet gas pressure P1 is conducted through the stabilizer and the pilot valve to the driving pressure P3, which is controlled by the elastic rubber. The pilot valve controls the pressure of P3. When the pilot valve is closed, P3 equals P2, thus balancing the pressure on both sides of the main valve's elastic rubber, achieving closure through its own elasticity or the force of the closing spring. When gas is used, P2 in the lower chamber of the pilot valve diaphragm decreases, driving the pilot valve to open, increasing P3. Since P2 in the main valve of the pressure regulator is less than P3, the pressure regulator gradually opens. After dynamic balancing, the pressure regulating function is achieved. Currently, the operation of the existing pressure regulator pilot valve is significantly affected by the pre-regulation gas pressure P1. When P1 fluctuates greatly, P3 also fluctuates significantly, affecting the accuracy and stability of the post-regulation gas pressure P2, causing turbulence in the pressure regulating system, which is detrimental to the operation of the pilot valve. Furthermore, existing pilot valves are difficult to disassemble, resulting in inconvenient maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0044] The valve body 10 is equipped with a control component that connects the lower chamber 31 of the valve body to the input port 35.
[0045] Preferably, the current limiter 32 is divided into multiple segments, with a central cylindrical body and two conical segments at its front end, namely a first conical segment and a second conical segment.

[0047] In some technical solutions of the present invention, the control component includes a valve port 17 and a valve core 16 disposed inside the valve body 10. An inlet port communicating with an input port 35 is provided on the outer side wall of the valve port 17. The valve port 17 is connected to the lower cavity 31 of the valve body. An assembly port for the valve core 16 is provided on the lower tray 13 installed in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body. A quick-release spring 18 connected to the inner wall of the assembly port is sleeved on the valve core 16.

[0049] In some technical solutions of the present invention, the side wall of the closing nut 25 is provided with an annular inclined surface.
[0050] Preferably, the assembly port is machined into the lower tray 13 inside the lower cavity 31 of the valve body. The assembly port is divided into multiple sections, which are sequentially interconnected: a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber.

The side of the spacer away from the second chamber has an inner conical surface that matches the outer conical surface on the closing nut 25, thereby improving the airtightness of the closing nut 25 when it contacts the spacer and improving the sealing performance of this structure.
[0051] In some technical solutions of the present invention, the actuator includes a pressure regulating diaphragm cover 1 detachably mounted on the valve body 10. The pressure regulating diaphragm cover 1 is bolted to the upper end of the valve body 10. The end of the pressure regulating diaphragm cover 1 facing away from the valve body 10 is provided with an upper nut 4 threadedly connected to it. A pressure regulating rod 3 is mounted on the upper nut 4. An upper spring seat 6 and a lower spring seat 7 are slidably mounted inside the pressure regulating diaphragm cover 1. A pressure regulating spring 2 is provided between the upper spring seat 6 and the lower spring seat 7. A locking nut 5 is provided on the upper nut 4 to lock the pressure regulating rod 3. A groove adapted to the clamping nut 8 is opened on the side wall of the lower spring seat 7 opposite to the valve body 10. The diaphragm 20, which is placed in the upper cavity 30 of the valve body, is used to apply a preload to the diaphragm 20 and to ensure that the pressure value in the valve body 10 remains relatively stable when the actuator in the valve body 10 is injected with high-pressure gas. This is achieved by using the above-mentioned structural conditions to ensure the relative position of the diaphragm 20 and the actuator in the valve body 10, and to force the diaphragm 20 in the upper cavity 30 of the valve body to reset.
[0052] Furthermore, the diaphragm 20 located in the upper cavity 30 of the valve body is placed between the pressure regulating diaphragm cover 1 and the valve body 10. The diaphragm 20 can separate the valve body 10 and the pressure regulating diaphragm cover 1 into two independent areas, thus avoiding the risk of gas leakage.
[0053] In some technical solutions of the present invention, the low-pressure actuator includes a low-pressure lower membrane cover 11 and a low-pressure upper membrane cover 28. The low-pressure lower membrane cover 11 and the low-pressure upper membrane cover 28 are detachably connected by bolts. A communication port is provided on the side wall of the low-pressure upper membrane cover 28 away from the low-pressure lower membrane cover 11. A low-pressure tray assembly is provided between the low-pressure lower membrane cover 11 and the low-pressure upper membrane cover 28.
[0054] Furthermore, the diaphragm 20 located in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body is placed between the pressure regulating diaphragm cover 1 and the valve body 10. The diaphragm 20 can separate the valve body 10 and the low-pressure lower diaphragm cover 11 into two independent areas, namely the low-pressure lower diaphragm cover area 14 and the low-pressure upper diaphragm cover area, to avoid the risk of gas leakage.
[0055] In some technical solutions of the present invention, the low-pressure tray assembly includes a pressure ring 26, a pressure ring nut 24, a low-pressure diaphragm 33, a low-pressure upper tray 21, and a low-pressure lower tray 23. The low-pressure diaphragm 33, the low-pressure upper tray 21, and the low-pressure lower tray 23 are all sleeved on the pressure ring 26. The low-pressure upper tray 21 and the low-pressure lower tray 23 are positioned on both sides of the low-pressure diaphragm 33. The pressure ring nut 24 is threadedly connected to the pressure ring 26. A clamping nut 8 located in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body is placed inside the pressure ring 26 and threadedly connected to it. The clamping nut 8 has a through hole communicating with the assembly port, and the through hole communicates with the inner cavity of the pressure ring 26. The outer edge of the low-pressure diaphragm 33 is positioned between the low-pressure lower diaphragm cover 11 and the low-pressure upper diaphragm cover 28.
[0056] In some technical solutions of the present invention, a first exhaust port 36 is provided on the side wall of the low-pressure lower tray 23. The first exhaust port 36 is used to prevent the pressure in the low-pressure sealed area formed by the low-pressure diaphragm 33, the diaphragm element 20 located in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body, the valve body 10, and the low-pressure lower tray 23 from being greater than the external pressure, thus preventing the movement of the low-pressure diaphragm 33 and the diaphragm element 20 located in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body from being obstructed, and avoiding the situation where the adjustment accuracy of the high-pressure gas in the input valve body 10 cannot be guaranteed.
[0057] In some technical solutions of the present invention, a second vent 22 is provided on the side wall of the pressure regulating diaphragm cover 1. The second vent 22 is used to prevent the diaphragm 20 in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body from being obstructed due to the pressure in the pressure regulating sealed area formed by the diaphragm 20, valve body 10 and pressure regulating diaphragm cover 1 being greater than the external pressure; and to prevent the adjustment accuracy of the high pressure gas in the input valve body 10 from being compromised.
[0058] The working principle of this equipment is as follows:
[0059] First, the high-pressure gas P1 input through the pipeline needs to be connected to the inlet 35, so that the high-pressure gas P1 enters the lower cavity 31 of the valve body through the valve port 17 connected to the inlet 35, then enters the first installation port through the first channel, and enters the main valve through the pipeline container interface 27; then enters the second installation port through the second channel; and then enters the upper cavity 30 of the valve body through the second installation port; when the vulcanized valve core 16 disengages from the valve port 17, the high-pressure gas P1, after being damped by the actuator, damping bolt 29 and flow limiter 32 in the valve body 10, enters the connecting port through the assembly port and then enters the main valve; the gas P3 located in the valve body 10 outputs low-pressure gas P2 from the outlet 9; and then enters the downstream pipeline for gas supply;
[0060] When high-pressure gas P1 is introduced into valve body 10, the pressure signals in the lower chamber 31 and upper chamber 30 of the valve body change simultaneously, which can easily cause surge in the pressure regulating system. After high-pressure gas P1 is introduced into valve body 10, it is damped by damping bolt 29 to prevent the pressure signals in the lower chamber 31 and upper chamber 30 of the valve body from changing simultaneously. The faster the pressure signal of high-pressure gas P1 changes in valve body 10, the greater the damping force generated by damping bolt 29 on high-pressure gas P1 in valve body 10, preventing the pressure signals in the lower chamber 31 and upper chamber 30 of the valve body from changing simultaneously and avoiding excessively rapid changes in their frequency. This effectively reduces surge in the pressure regulating system. By adjusting the installation position of damping bolt 29 in the second mounting port, different damping coefficients can be achieved, allowing for a wider range of adjustment of the pressure value of high-pressure gas P1 entering the second mounting port, thus helping the pressure regulating system to operate in a stable state.
[0061] Furthermore, to avoid the problem of fixed pressure relief ports and fixed pressure relief limits in conventional pressure regulators, which cannot be adjusted, this structure incorporates a flow restrictor 32 within the valve body 10. The flow restrictor 32 features a pressure relief hole and a pressure relief groove to ensure normal pressure relief operation. The pressure relief rate can also be controlled by adjusting the position of the flow restrictor 32 in the first mounting port, thereby adjusting the response time of the pressure regulating system and improving its accuracy. This allows the fluid in the lower chamber 31 of the valve body to flow to the connecting pipe / container interface 27 according to the adjustment result, and then be introduced into the main valve.
[0062] Normally, the fluid pressure in the pipe container connected to pipe container interface 27 is lower than the fluid pressure in the lower chamber 31 of the valve body. However, in special cases, when the fluid pressure in the pipe container connected to pipe container interface 27 is greater than the fluid pressure in the lower chamber 31 of the valve body, the traditional pilot valve structure is difficult to adjust, which can cause the pressure regulating system to become disordered. To solve the above problem, a valve port 17, an actuator, and an adjusting component are installed in the valve body 10 to enable the valve body 10 to quickly release fluid and avoid the valve body 10 from becoming disordered. The working process is as follows: In fact, the pressure signal in the low-pressure diaphragm cover area 14 is the same as that in the pipe container interface 27. When the pressure signal in the pipe container interface 27 is greater than that in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body, if pressure is only released through the pressure relief hole and pressure relief groove, the response time is long, which can easily affect the accuracy and efficiency of the pressure regulating system. At this time, the pressure signal in the low-pressure diaphragm cover area 14 acts on the low-pressure diaphragm 33. The low-pressure diaphragm 33 drives the pressure ring 26 and the clamping nut 8 to move closer to the valve body 10. The low-pressure diaphragm 33 transmits the force to the lower tray 13 located in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body. The lower tray 13 located in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body continues to move downward. At this time, the lower tray 13 located in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body and the closing nut 25 are misaligned, and the channel between them is opened. The pressure signal in the low-pressure diaphragm cover area 14 will be quickly released into the lower cavity 31 of the valve body to achieve the quick release function. This ensures that the pressure in the pipe container interface 27 and the pressure relief diaphragm cover area are in a balanced state, thus guaranteeing the response efficiency and accuracy of the pressure regulating system.
[0063] Furthermore, by connecting the valve stem 15 in the actuator with the diaphragm in the upper cavity 30 of the valve body and the diaphragm 20 in the lower cavity 31 of the valve body, the passage between the upper cavity 30 and the lower cavity 31 of the valve body can be sealed, ensuring that there is no risk of leakage when the pressure signal between the upper cavity 30 and the lower cavity 31 of the valve body can be adjusted by the damper, thus achieving the damping function.
[0064] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
