Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of valve devices, and more specifically, relates to a low-noise regulating ball valve with bidirectional flow resistance and axially adjustable flow resistance and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the ship piping system, the fluid resistance of the valve is a performance parameter that must be considered, because the resistance of the piping system will involve the parameter selection of pumps and other dynamic equipment. The existing ship piping system optimizes the selection of pumps and other dynamic equipment by limiting the maximum flow resistance of the valve. In some special occasions, it is hoped that the regulating valve can achieve the non-disassembly adjustment function, but the maximum flow resistance limit of the regulating ball valve used in the existing process cannot be adjusted, and the resistance calculation error of the system cannot be dynamically elastically compensated, and the two-way throttling adjustment function cannot be achieved. It is easy to cause noise, vibration and other conditions during work, the working reliability is poor, and the regulating components are inconvenient to disassemble and repair. Specifically reflected in:

[0003] Limited flow resistance adjustment capability: Traditional ball valves usually adopt a simple open-close structure, which makes it difficult to achieve precise adjustment of fluid flow resistance. In situations where precise flow control is required, such as fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals and other industries, this lack of flow resistance adjustment capability will lead to low flow control accuracy, affecting product quality and production efficiency. Although some existing control valves can adjust the flow resistance by changing the opening of the valve core, the adjustment range is limited, and flow fluctuations are prone to occur during the adjustment process, which cannot meet the precise control requirements under complex working conditions.

[0004] The noise problem is prominent: Under high pressure difference or high flow rate conditions, the traditional ball valve will generate a lot of noise when the fluid passes through it, which not only damages the hearing of the operator, but also may cause noise pollution to the surrounding environment, which does not meet the requirements of modern industry for environmental protection and working environment. The generation of noise may also cause the vibration of the internal parts of the valve to increase, reducing the service life and reliability of the valve.

[0005] Insufficient two-way flow performance: Most traditional ball valves are designed for one-way flow and cannot meet the needs of two-way fluid delivery. In some systems that require two-way flow, such as the feed and discharge systems of some chemical reactors, multiple valves need to be installed to achieve two-way control, which increases the complexity and cost of the system. Even if some ball valves can flow in both directions, it is often difficult to balance the flow resistance adjustment performance and sealing performance under two-way working conditions, resulting in reduced system operation efficiency.

[0006] Low intelligence: Most existing ball valves are manually operated or simply electrically operated, lacking intelligent control functions. In modern industrial production with an increasingly high degree of automation, such low-intelligence valves cannot be integrated with advanced control systems, and cannot achieve functions such as remote monitoring, fault diagnosis, and automatic adjustment. Ball valves lacking intelligent control cannot monitor the fluid state and valve working state in real time during operation, making it difficult to detect and handle potential problems in a timely manner, reducing the reliability and operating efficiency of the system. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present invention provides a low-noise regulating ball valve and method with axially adjustable flow resistance in both directions.

The throttling disc in the valve core ball can be adjusted according to the needs of the non-removable external adjustment disc relative axial distance and rotation angle, so as to dynamically change the shape and size of the liquid spiral chamber, and then achieve precise adjustment of the flow resistance value. This design enables the valve to flexibly adjust the flow resistance under different working conditions, meeting the high requirements of fine chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries for flow control accuracy. Through the precise adjustment of the throttling disc, the flow resistance can be fine-tuned to ensure high precision of flow control.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment, the valve stem assembly 4 is rotatably sealed and connected to the valve body 1 via a seal.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment, the driving device includes a throttling disc adjusting screw 5, and the throttling disc adjusting screw 5 includes a screw driving part 5b and a screw driven buckle 5a. The screw driving part 5b is threadedly connected to the screw driven buckle 5a, and the screw driving part 5b is rotated to drive the screw driven buckle 5a to move back and forth along the flow direction.

[0022] According to another aspect of the present invention, a throttling adjustment method for a low-noise regulating ball valve with bidirectional flow resistance and axially adjustable flow resistance is provided, which is implemented by using a low-noise regulating ball valve of any embodiment or a combination of multiple embodiments as described above.

[0023] In general, the above technical solution conceived by the present invention has the following technical advantages compared with the prior art:

[0024] 1. The present invention has a unique valve core sphere structure, including a guide groove throttling disc and a throttling hole throttling disc, as well as an adjustable liquid spiral chamber. This solution can achieve precise control of the flow resistance. The throttling disc in the valve core sphere can be adjusted by axial movement distance as needed, thereby dynamically changing the shape and size of the liquid spiral chamber, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the flow resistance value. This design enables the valve to flexibly adjust the flow resistance under different working conditions, meeting the high requirements for flow control accuracy in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries.

[0025] 2. The present invention can effectively reduce the noise generated when the fluid passes through through the unique throttling disc structure and liquid spiral cavity design. Under high pressure difference or high flow rate conditions, traditional ball valves tend to generate large noise, while this solution significantly reduces the noise level by optimizing the fluid flow path and reducing fluid turbulence and impact.

[0026] 3. The ball valve of the present invention has a two-way flow capacity and can realize the stable flow of fluid in two directions. At the same time, by optimizing the valve seat sealing structure and using high temperature resistant and corrosion resistant sealing materials (such as O-rings), the sealing performance under the two-way flow condition is ensured. This two-way flow and efficient sealing design enables the valve to meet the needs of more complex working conditions and reduce the number and complexity of valves in the system.

[0027] 4. The present invention realizes precise adjustment of the liquid spiral cavity and dynamic control of the flow resistance through intelligent control and remote monitoring technology, combined with the dynamic adjustment of the axial position of the guide groove throttling disc, the rotation angle of the throttling disc of the throttling hole, and the design parameters of the guide groove and the throttling hole. It significantly improves the accuracy and flexibility of fluid control: through the multi-parameter PID control algorithm, the axial position of the guide groove throttling disc is adjusted at the same time, and the shape and size of the liquid spiral cavity can be dynamically optimized according to the real-time monitored flow, pressure and temperature data, thereby realizing precise control of the flow resistance. This precise flow resistance adjustment capability enables the valve to adapt to more complex working conditions and more sophisticated flow control requirements, improving the efficiency of the industrial production process and product quality. At the same time, the remote monitoring and manual adjustment functions further enhance the flexibility of the system, and the operator can adjust the valve anytime and anywhere to ensure that the system is always in the best operating state.

[0047] According to another aspect of the present invention, a throttling adjustment method for a low-noise regulating ball valve with bidirectional flow resistance and axially adjustable flow resistance is provided, which is implemented by using a low-noise regulating ball valve of any embodiment or a combination of multiple embodiments as described above.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the throttling hole or the guide groove opening can be triangular, semicircular, fan-shaped, etc., and the spacing can be distributed in 6 equal parts, 8 equal parts, etc. The throttling disc of this structure is only a manifestation of structural innovation, and its specific parameters are not specified.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown: the flow resistance adjustable low noise regulating ball valve in this embodiment is mainly composed of a valve body 1, an adjustable valve seat 2, a valve core ball 3, a valve stem 4, a throttling disc regulating device 5, etc.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the valve body 1 is provided with a first valve body flow channel 1a and a second valve body flow channel 1b, and an adjustable valve seat 2 is installed at the inner end of the first valve body flow channel 1a and the second valve body flow channel 1b respectively, and the two adjustable valve seats are arranged coaxially, and the valve core ball 3 is arranged in the inner cavity of the valve body 1 and installed between the two adjustable valve seats 2, and the surface of the valve core ball 3 is in contact with the sealing surface of the adjustable valve seat 2, and the flow channel of the valve core ball assembly 3 is provided with mutually independent replaceable and removable multi-layer throttling discs.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, an adjusting window is provided at the center of the adjusting valve seat base 1, and the adjusting window can be processed into different shapes as required, and a variety of different adjusting flow characteristics can be obtained by replacing the throttle hole and throttle disc.

[0053] like Figure 2As shown, when the throttling hole throttling disc 3a and the guide groove throttling disc 3b in the valve core ball flow channel are arranged symmetrically to the center of the valve stem, the regulating ball valve in the example of the present invention realizes a two-way throttling regulating function and achieves installation without flow direction requirements.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting screw active member 5b is installed on the valve body by using a bearing, and is connected to the screw follower 5a by using a spiral. The active member rotates to drive the follower to slide left and right.

[0055] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the flow channel space between the throttling hole throttling disc 3a and the guide groove throttling disc 3b in the flow channel of the valve core ball 3 forms a "liquid spiral chamber", and the spiral chamber size can be controlled and the flow resistance value can be changed by rotating the active screw member 5a to drive the driven screw buckle 5b to move left and right, thereby changing the relative installation distance of the throttling disc in the flow channel of the valve core ball 3.

When the medium flows through the throttling disc in the valve core ball channel 3, it passes through the throttling disc 3a of the throttling hole, the throttling disc 3b of the guide groove and the throttling of the "liquid spiral cavity" between 3a and 3b. The rotation of the screw active part 5a drives the screw driven buckle 5b to move horizontally to the left and right, thereby changing the relative installation distance of the throttling disc in the flow channel of the valve core ball 3 to control the change of the flow resistance value. The flow channel of the valve core ball 3 is relatively long, which creates conditions for setting more different flow resistance values ​​in the flow channel of the valve core ball 3, so that the adjustable flow resistance value of the present invention reaches 10 or even higher. In addition, due to the unique structural design of the throttling disc adjustment screw combined with the "liquid spiral cavity", the present invention can realize the flow resistance adjustment function under non-disassembly conditions, which is convenient for installation, debugging and maintenance.
