Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ball valves, and in particular to a high-temperature and high-pressure top-mounted floating ball valve for a fluidized bed hydrogenation device. Background Art

[0002] Valves are control components in fluid delivery systems, with functions such as shutoff, regulation, flow diversion, backflow prevention, pressure stabilization, flow diversion or overflow pressure relief. Valves used in fluid control systems come in a wide variety of varieties and specifications, from the simplest shutoff valves to the various valves used in extremely complex automatic control systems.

[0003] Ball valve is also a common valve body on the market. The top-mounted ball valves on the market are usually used in normal temperature or ultra-low temperature conditions. They are all made of soft materials and cannot be used in ultra-high temperature and high pressure conditions of boiling bed hydrogenation units above 400°C and pressure exceeding 20MPa.

[0004] The document number is CN211715815U, which is an integrated high-temperature metal sealing ball valve, including a valve body, a spring seat, a first sleeve, a second sleeve, a packing gland, a bushing, an elastic baffle for the shaft, a key, a first nut, a bolt, a cylindrical pin, a second nut, a first hexagon socket screw, a second hexagon socket screw, a third hexagon socket screw, and a washer. A ball is arranged at the bottom end of the valve body, a rear valve seat is arranged on one side of the valve body, and a front valve seat is arranged on the other side of the valve body. The elastic baffle for the shaft is fixed on the upper surface of the gasket, and the key is arranged between the glove handle and the valve stem. Although the technical solution adopts spring seat pre-tightening, under the condition of low medium pressure, it can only establish a sealed connection between the ball and the front valve seat, and cannot ensure a sealed connection between the rear valve seat and the valve body, nor can it ensure a sealed connection between the valve stem and the valve body, and a sealed connection between the valve body and the valve cover. There is a possibility of leakage in many places, and it is not suitable for high temperature working conditions. Summary of the invention

The locking nut is threadedly connected to the full-thread stud 211 to compress the disc spring limiting sleeve.

[0062] The specific workflow of the present invention is as follows:

[0063] The operator operates the actuator 4 to drive the valve stem 3 to rotate the floating ball 7, so that the flow channel in the valve body 1 is connected, and the medium passes through the through holes in the inlet 11, the first thermal liner 51, the front valve seat 52, the floating ball 7, the rear valve seat 62, the second thermal liner 61, and the outlet 12 and flows out. When the medium pressure is high, the pressure provided by the medium to the floating ball 7 is sufficient to make the sealing surface between the floating ball 7 and the rear valve seat 62 and the sealing surface between the rear valve seat 62 and the first protrusion 1311 of the valve body 1 reach the set sealing pressure ratio. Since the floating ball 7 is floating, the first disc spring 5224 supports the inner annular surface of the front valve seat 52 to always be in sealing contact with the outer surface of the floating ball 7 and the outer surface of the floating ball 7 is in sealing contact with the inner annular surface of the rear valve seat 62. The upward pressure provided by the medium to the connection block 31 is sufficient to make the sealing surface between the thrust washer 321 and the sealing surface between the thrust washer 321 and the valve cover 2 reach the set sealing pressure ratio.

[0064] When the medium pressure is low, the rear valve seat 62 is pre-tightened by the first fixing member 65 of the adjusting ring 64 to provide an initial sealing pressure ratio between the rear end of the rear valve seat 62 and the second protrusion 1321 of the valve body 1. Since the floating ball 7 is floating, the first disc spring 5224 supports the inner annular surface of the front valve seat 52 to always be in sealing contact with the outer surface of the floating ball 7, and the outer surface of the floating ball 7 is in sealing contact with the inner annular surface of the rear valve seat 62. The second disc spring 323 provides upward pressure to the connecting block 31 so that the sealing surface between the thrust gasket 321 and the sealing surface between the thrust gasket 321 and the valve cover 2 reach the set sealing pressure ratio.

[0065] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0066] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
