The essence of slurry pipeline transportation technology belongs to a kind of solid-liquid two-phase flow. In the slurry pipeline transportation system, due to the large drop of cross-country pipeline or the change of system operation system, the slurry in the downhill section has residual potential energy in addition to the pipeline resistance, so that the slurry flow in the pipeline is not full. If no measures are taken to eliminate the excess potential energy, the slurry flow speed in the pipeline will gradually accelerate from top to bottom, which is an accelerated flow. The accelerated flow will seriously wear the pipeline, reduce the service life of the pipeline, and cause pipeline cavitation, vibration, merging water hammer and vacuum blockage, etc., which seriously endanger the stable and safe operation of the slurry pipeline transportation system.

[0070] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0071] In the present application, unless otherwise stated, the orientation words such as "up, down, top, bottom" are generally directed to the direction shown in the drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction of the components themselves; similarly, for the convenience of understanding and description, "inner, outer" refers to the inner and outer relative to the contour of the components themselves, but the above orientation words are not used to limit the present application.

[0072] To solve the problem of slurry pipeline acceleration flow prevention in the prior art, the application provides a slurry pipeline energy dissipation orifice plate and an energy dissipation device used by the slurry pipeline energy dissipation orifice plate.

[0073] Embodiment 1

[0074] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The embodiment relates to a slurry pipeline energy dissipation orifice plate, which comprises a flange 1001, a wear-resistant part 1002, a stud 1003, a shell 1004, a flat washer 1005, a hexagonal nut 1006, a wound gasket 1007 and a spring washer 1008. The energy dissipation orifice plate is installed in the inside of a slurry conveying pipeline, and is mainly used for preventing the occurrence of acceleration flow in a pipeline conveying solid-liquid two-phase flow such as coal and iron concentrate, so as to avoid the harm of the acceleration flow to the stability of the slurry conveying system.

[0075] The flange 1001 comprises two upper and lower pieces, and the flange adopts a necked butt-welded protruding surface type. The neck part is connected with the pipeline in a welding mode. The connection of the necked butt-welded flange is not easy to deform, and the sealing effect is good.

[0076] The wound gasket 1007 is circular and is arranged on the sealing surface of the flange and located at the connecting surface of the flange 1001 and the shell 1004 and the wear-resistant part 1002. The flange surface has a specific roughness to ensure compatibility with the gasket and achieve high-standard sealing. The wound gasket can further improve the sealing strength of the orifice plate and prevent slurry leakage caused by sealing failure.

[0077] The core components of the slurry pipeline energy dissipation orifice plate mainly comprise the wear-resistant part 1002 and the shell 1004.

[0078] The wear-resistant part 1002 is made of wear-resistant material, and is generally made of silicon carbide in the field of metal ore slurry such as iron concentrate. The wear-resistant part has the advantages of high hardness, strong wear resistance and good stability. The density of the wear-resistant part is greater than 3.05 g / cm 3 , and the hardness is greater than 2700 HV. When the wear-resistant part is manufactured, it is necessary to ensure that the wear-resistant part material is free of cracks, cavities and deformities.

[0079] The wear-resistant part has different chamfers 1021, thicknesses 1022 and hole diameters 1023. The specific chamfers 1021, thicknesses 1022 and hole diameters 1023 are determined through a slurry pipeline energy dissipation hydraulic model calculation, and the main function is to meet the requirements of different line drops, different weight concentrations and different working conditions (slurry conveying, water conveying, slurry pushing water and water pushing slurry, etc.).

[0080] Specifically, the hole diameter ratio of the wear-resistant part is The hole diameter ratio beta, the thickness-diameter ratio alpha and the angle-diameter ratio gamma are key size parameters for determining the energy dissipation slurry head of the orifice plate, and need to be determined according to the actual engineering situation and the energy dissipation hydraulic model.

[0081] The wear-resistant part 1002 is integrally manufactured through the process flow of granulation, isostatic pressing, sintering and finish machining, and the strict manufacturing process is mainly to improve the performance and quality of the product, thereby improving the service life of the orifice plate in the slurry conveying system.

[0082] The shell 1004 is made of 316 stainless steel or stainless steel with better performance than 316, and is manufactured by turning on the basis of integral forging. The shell 1004 has different thicknesses, hole diameters and chamfers, and can realize close assembly with the wear-resistant part 1002. The inner corner of the shell 1004 is a fillet, which can further improve the service life of the orifice plate under vibration conditions. The shell 1004 mainly provides support for the wear-resistant part 1002 to meet the energy dissipation requirements of the orifice plate in the slurry conveying system.

[0083] The core components of the slurry pipeline energy dissipation orifice plate, the wear-resistant part 1002 and the shell 1004, are bonded by strong industrial adhesive and clamped by the flange holder to ensure the close connection of the wear-resistant part and the shell of the orifice plate, so that the orifice plate cannot fall off under harsh working conditions.

[0084] As a preferred scheme, the fastening connection of the slurry pipeline single-hole energy dissipation orifice plate includes a stud 1003, a flat washer 1005, a hex nut 1006 and a spring washer 1008.

[0085] The stud 1003 and the hex nut 1006 are used to connect two flanges 1001, the number and type are determined by the standard, the spring washer 1008 plays a role in increasing the friction between the nut 1006 and the bolt 1003 to prevent the nut 1006 from falling off. The number of nuts 1006 and bolts 1003 is matched, and the type is determined by the specification standard.

[0086] The energy dissipation device composed of the above-mentioned slurry pipeline energy dissipation orifice plate is described in detail as follows.

[0087] Please refer to Figs. 4-6 , as another aspect of the embodiment of the present application, also relates to an energy dissipation device mainly comprising slurry pipeline energy dissipation orifice plates arranged at different positions, electric ball valves 2, pressure transmitters 3, manual ball valves 4, bursting discs 5, electric knife gate valves 6, slurry storage tanks 7, flushing water pumps 8, concentration transmitters 91, flow transmitters 92, pipeline fittings 10 and the like.

[0088] The slurry pipeline 101 is connected to the head station to supply slurry, and the slurry is sent into the energy dissipation station through the first electric ball valve 21 at the entrance of the energy dissipation station. The first electric ball valve 21 is the total control valve of the energy dissipation station, which is used to open or close the line passage. The energy dissipation station is provided with an energy dissipation main line 104 and an energy dissipation bypass line 103. A first pressure transmitter 31 is arranged after the first electric ball valve 21 of the energy dissipation station, which is used to monitor the slurry pressure of the line pipeline. At the same time, a pre-station bursting pipeline 108 and a flushing water pipeline are arranged at the entrance of the energy dissipation station.

[0089] The energy dissipation main road 104 is the main energy dissipation and flow channel after the pulp is fed into the head station. The energy dissipation main road 104 is connected to the first electric ball valve 21 at the inlet, connected to the second electric ball valve 22 at the outlet of the energy dissipation main road, passes through the first fixed energy dissipation orifice plate 11, and the second pressure transmitter 32 is arranged behind the first fixed energy dissipation orifice plate 11. The other end of the second pressure transmitter 32 is connected to the first energy dissipation ring of the energy dissipation main road 104. The first adjustable energy dissipation orifice plate 12 and the first adjustable energy dissipation blanker 17 (the energy dissipation blanker is a structure reserved for the installation of the pulp pipe energy dissipation orifice plate later) are arranged on the vertical energy dissipation ring. The third electric ball valve 23 is used to control the opening and closing of the bypass flow passage at the bottom of the first energy dissipation ring.

[0090] The energy dissipation ring is further described. Taking the first energy dissipation ring as an example, the energy dissipation ring is vertically arranged. The top of the energy dissipation ring is a 180° elbow pipe. The elbow pipe is connected to the vertical steel pipe through flanges. The first adjustable energy dissipation orifice plate 12 and the first adjustable energy dissipation blanker 17 are arranged on the vertical steel pipe. When the third electric ball valve 23 at the bottom of the first energy dissipation ring is opened, the pulp does not enter the first energy dissipation ring, that is, the pulp does not pass through the first adjustable energy dissipation orifice plate 12 and the first adjustable energy dissipation blanker 17. At this time, the first energy dissipation ring is in a cut-out state and does not participate in energy dissipation. Conversely, when the third electric ball valve 23 at the bottom of the first energy dissipation ring is closed, the first energy dissipation ring is in a put-in state and participates in energy dissipation.

[0091] The other end of the first energy dissipation ring is connected to the third pressure transmitter 33. The other end of the third pressure transmitter 33 is connected to the second energy dissipation ring. The second energy dissipation ring has the same style and function as the first energy dissipation ring, which will not be described here. Different orifice plates on the energy dissipation ring have different body parameters (orifice diameter ratio β, thickness-diameter ratio α, and angle-diameter ratio γ). The orifice plate blanker reserves the orifice plate installation position. Different orifice plates can be installed according to the needs of the project to further increase the energy adjustment range of the energy dissipation device. According to different flow rates and concentrations, the first energy dissipation ring or the second energy dissipation ring can be withdrawn or put in to achieve the purpose of eliminating different energy,

[0092] The second energy dissipation ring is connected to the fifth electric ball valve 25 downstream. The other end of the fifth electric ball valve 25 is connected to the energy dissipation bypass 103.

[0093] It should be noted that the energy dissipation bypass 103 is a backup pulp energy dissipation and flow channel. When the energy dissipation main road equipment is overhauled or replaced, the sixth electric ball valve 26 is opened, the second electric ball valve 22 is closed, and the pulp is cut into the energy dissipation bypass 103.

[0094] The energy dissipation bypass 103 is connected to the pipeline upstream of the second electric ball valve 22 from the energy dissipation main line 104, and the sixth electric ball valve 26 is arranged at the inlet of the energy dissipation bypass 103, and the other side of the sixth electric ball valve 26 is connected with the second fixed energy dissipation orifice plate 14, and the downstream of the fourth pressure transmitter 34. The other side of the fourth pressure transmitter 34 is provided with the third fixed energy dissipation orifice plate 15, and the downstream of the third fixed energy dissipation orifice plate 15 is the fifth pressure transmitter 35, and the downstream of the fifth pressure transmitter 35 is the fourth fixed energy dissipation orifice plate 16, and the downstream of the seventh electric ball valve 27 is connected with the downstream pipeline of the fifth electric ball valve 25 of the energy dissipation main line 103.
