[0002] In the field of industrial fluid control, throttle valves are a key flow control device widely used in petroleum, chemical, electric power, metallurgy and other industries. Its core function is to accurately control the flow and pressure of the fluid by adjusting the opening of the valve core to meet the process requirements under different working conditions. However, traditional throttle valves have certain limitations in terms of precise control, degree of automation and safety, especially in the application of high-precision flow control and explosion-proof environments, which urgently need technical improvement and innovation.

[0003] Traditional throttle valves usually design the valve core and valve stem as two separate components, and install the valve core on the valve stem through threads, screws, etc. This method may cause the valve core to loosen during long-term use, thereby affecting the adjustment accuracy of the throttle valve. In addition, in the traditional throttle valve structure, the torque generated during its movement is often borne by a single component. This force-bearing method is not stable enough and is not conducive to long-term use. Summary of the invention

The valve stem and the valve core are designed as an integrated structure, which avoids the risk of loosening of the individual valve core, and can ensure the overall accuracy of the valve stem and increase its service life. The valve stem is fixed by setting a keyway inside the valve cover, so that the valve stem cannot rotate and can only move up and down linearly, ensuring the movement accuracy of the valve stem.

The explosion-proof servo motor is used as a power output end, and the motor transmission shaft is connected to the precision worm gear reduction mechanism 2; the precision worm gear reduction mechanism 2 includes a worm wheel 15, a worm 12, input shafts 14 and 18, an output shaft 16, bearings 11 and 13, and a housing 17; the valve stem nut 19 is a transmission component; the valve stem 28 is a transmission component; the valve cover 5 is connected to the valve body 6 to ensure the sealing above the valve body 6; the valve core 24 is cylindrical and is one of the core components of the throttle valve to adjust the flow; the stuffing seat 21 and the valve seat 22 are installed inside the valve body 6; the valve body 6 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and the throttling component is installed inside, and the outer surface can be connected to other pipelines through the flange hole 9.

[0025] The valve body is provided with a sealing groove 7, in which a metal sealing ring can be installed to achieve sealing under high pressure conditions.

[0026] The valve stem nut 18 is provided with a keyway 27 on the outside, and the horizontal rotation of the valve stem nut 18 is achieved through key transmission; the valve stem nut 18 is provided with a thread on the inside.

[0027] The valve stem 28 and the valve core 24 are an integrated structure, and the valve stem 28 is provided with a keyway 20 .

[0028] A valve position display cover 3 is provided above the precision worm gear reduction mechanism 2, and valve opening scale lines are provided on the surface of the valve position display cover 3.

[0029] The input shaft 14 of the precision worm gear reduction mechanism 2 is connected to the manual handle connecting shaft 4.

[0030] The throttle valve is provided with a throttle valve inlet end 8 and a throttle valve outlet end 10 .

[0031] The working principle of the electronically controlled cylindrical throttle valve with precise opening control described in the technical solution of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods: As a power component for controlling the opening of the throttle valve, the explosion-proof servo motor 1 can be used in an inflammable and explosive environment, and can realize accurate and rapid control of the speed and direction of the transmission shaft. When the transmission shaft of the explosion-proof servo motor 1 rotates, its rotational motion is transmitted to the input shaft 18 through the key, so that the worm 12 produces the same rotational motion as the transmission shaft of the explosion-proof servo motor 1. The worm 12 is meshed with the worm wheel 15 and has a specific transmission ratio, which reduces the speed of the transmission shaft of the explosion-proof servo motor 1, increases the torque, and changes the vertical rotational motion of the transmission shaft of the explosion-proof servo motor 1 into a horizontal rotational motion. The output shaft 16 of the precision worm gear reduction mechanism 2 transmits the horizontal rotational motion to the valve stem nut 19 through the key. The side of the valve stem 28 is provided with a thread that matches the internal thread of the valve stem nut 19, and the valve stem 28 is fixed by the key and cannot perform rotational motion. Therefore, when the valve stem nut 19 performs horizontal rotational motion, the valve stem 28 performs up and down linear motion. Whether it is upward or downward depends on whether the direction of the transmission shaft of the explosion-proof servo motor 1 is clockwise or counterclockwise. The valve core 24 and the valve stem 28 are an integrated structure, so the valve core 24 will also produce the same upward or downward linear motion as the valve stem 28. The valve seat 22 is fixed, the valve core 24 moves, and the relative position of the valve core 24 and the valve seat 22 changes, and the throttling area of ​​the throttling valve changes.

[0032] When the fluid enters from the throttle valve inlet end 8 and flows through the space between the valve core 24 and the valve seat 22, the relative position of the valve core 24 and the valve seat 22 can be adjusted by the body to adjust the throttling area and change the fluid flow rate flowing out from the throttle valve outlet end 10.

[0033] Through the technical solution of the present invention, the electronically controlled cylindrical throttle valve of the present invention can realize accurate and rapid adjustment of the valve opening through the servo motor and the precision worm gear reduction mechanism. The valve stem and the valve core are designed as an integrated structure, which avoids the risk of loosening of the individual valve core, and can ensure the overall accuracy of the valve stem and increase the service life. The valve stem is fixed by setting a keyway inside the valve cover, so that the valve stem cannot rotate and can only move up and down linearly, ensuring the movement accuracy of the valve stem. At the same time, since the valve cover is directly connected to the valve body, the torque generated by preventing the valve stem from rotating is borne by the entire throttle valve, making the overall structure more stable.

[0034] The present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the structure and principle of the present invention. The present invention may be improved and varied, and these improvements and variations shall all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
