Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydraulic valves, and in particular relates to a low-torque pressure-balanced plug valve. Background Art

[0002] The pressure-balanced plug valve is a special shut-off valve used in long-distance natural gas pipelines and station control systems. It is typically used in harsh working conditions such as natural gas extraction, upstream oil and gas, and mud. It has excellent properties such as long service life, two-way zero leakage, fire and anti-static, and corrosion resistance.

[0003] When the existing pressure-balanced plug valve is closed, the medium in the valve's central cavity flows through the balancing hole at the plug's lower end to the lower valve cavity at the lower end, and then through the side balancing hole at the plug to the upper valve cavity at the upper end. At this point, the lower and upper valve cavities are connected, and the pressures in these cavities are equal. However, because the area of ​​the plug's lower end is larger than its upper end, the medium force F1 acting on the plug's lower end is greater than the force F2 acting on the plug's upper end. Under the influence of the medium pressure, the plug pushes upward, pressing against the valve body's sealing surface, sealing the valve. Because the plug is in close contact with the valve body, the operating force must overcome the frictional force of the plug against the valve body's sealing surface when opening the valve. Consequently, the opening torque of existing pressure-balanced plug valves is relatively high. However, when the medium pressure is low, the difference between the medium force F1 and the force F2 acting on the plug's upper end is less than the weight of the plug, insufficient to push the plug against the valve body, resulting in a poor valve seal. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a low-torque, pressure-balanced plug valve that reduces valve opening torque, facilitating ease of operation.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the low-torque pressure-balanced plug valve provided by the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] 1. The present invention sets a threaded seat in the valve body near the upper cavity of the valve. One end of the valve stem cooperates with the threaded seat, and the other end passes through the valve body and cooperates with the power output end of the drive device. When the valve stem rotates 90° from the closed state to the open state, the valve stem rotates 1 / 4 turn, causing the valve stem to move downward by 1 / 4 pitch and push the plug downward by 1 / 4 pitch. At this time, the plug is separated from the sealing surface of the valve body, and the plug and the valve body rotate without friction, reducing the opening torque of the valve. The above-mentioned setting method can also simplify the setting form of the drive device, so that the valve stem can directly cooperate with the power output end of the existing drive device without setting a complex transmission structure.

[0018] 2. The present invention processes the transmission part of the lower end of the valve stem into a spherical surface after welding a hard alloy layer on the transmission part, thereby ensuring the hardness of the valve stem transmission part and improving the service life of the valve stem. The spherical surface of the transmission part can be automatically aligned with the bottom surface of the transmission groove on the connecting block, preventing the plug from deviating to one side and causing excessive friction of the plug, thereby reducing the opening torque of the valve.

[0019] 3. The present invention provides a grease injection valve and grease injection channel on the valve body. When sealing grease is injected into the valve through the grease injection valve, the sealing grease can be conveniently injected into the sealing structure of the valve stem and the interior of the threaded seat through the grease injection channel. This not only seals the valve stem with grease, but also lubricates the valve stem, reducing friction between the valve stem and the threaded seat during rotation, further reducing the valve opening torque. The threaded seat is positioned within the valve, near the upper chamber, which facilitates the arrangement of the grease injection valve and grease injection channel on the valve body, simplifying the simultaneous sealing and lubrication of the valve stem. Furthermore, the second inclined surface provided on the threaded seat creates an annular gap between the bottom surface of the threaded seat and the valve body, further facilitating the injection of sealing grease into the threaded seat to reduce friction on the valve stem.

[0020] 4. The arrangement of the threaded seat of the present invention also facilitates the arrangement of a buffer pad inside the valve. By arranging an anti-flying positioning portion between the trapezoidal thread portion and the transmission portion of the valve stem, and installing a buffer pad on the anti-flying positioning portion, when the plug valve is in the process of closing, the buffer pad will contact the threaded seat, thereby simply and conveniently reducing the impact on the threaded seat during the valve closing process.

[0021] 5. This invention incorporates a spring seat at the bottom of the plug, with several springs mounted in the spring holes of the spring seat. The buffer gap between the plug and the spring seat provides space for the valve stem to push the plug downward. This provides additional sealing preload when the medium pressure is low, overcoming the weight of the plug and pushing it against the valve body sealing surface, enhancing the low-pressure sealing performance of the plug valve. Furthermore, by providing an adjustment washer and adjustment screw on the valve cover, the initial spring preload can be adjusted to ensure valve sealing. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] In the above embodiment, a threaded seat is provided in the valve body near the upper chamber of the valve, one end of the valve stem cooperates with the threaded seat, and the other end passes through the valve body and cooperates with the power output end of the drive device. When the valve stem rotates 90° from the closed state to the open state, the valve stem rotates 1 / 4 turn, causing the valve stem to move downward by 1 / 4 pitch and push the plug downward by 1 / 4 pitch. At this time, the plug is separated from the sealing surface of the valve body, and the plug and the valve body rotate without friction, reducing the opening torque of the valve. In addition, the above setting method can simplify the setting form of the drive device, so that the valve stem can directly cooperate with the power output end of the existing drive device without setting a complex transmission structure.

[0036] Preferably, the upper end surface of the plug 4 is provided with a square groove, the upper side of the connecting block 6 is provided with a transmission groove 61, and the lower side of the connecting block 6 is provided with a square protrusion. A plurality of first springs 62 are evenly arranged in the square protrusions. The first springs 62 are located between the plug 4 and the connecting block 6.

[0038] Preferably, the valve stem 5 includes a driving portion 51, a first sealing portion 52, a second sealing portion 53, a trapezoidal thread portion 54 and a transmission portion 58, which are arranged in sequence. The driving portion 51 cooperates with the power output end of the driving device to drive the valve stem 5 to rotate. Multiple sealing packings 21 and a sealing gland 22 are arranged between the first sealing portion 52 and the valve body 1. One end of the sealing gland 22 is used to compress the multiple sealing packings 21, and the other end cooperates with the connecting disk 2 arranged at the upper end of the valve body 1. Several sealing grooves are provided on the second sealing portion 53, and sealing rings are provided in each of the several sealing grooves. The trapezoidal thread portion 54 cooperates with the trapezoidal thread hole 83 to realize the axial movement of the valve stem 5 during the rotation process. The transmission portion 58 has a spherical carbide layer 59. After the transmission portion 58 is inserted into the transmission groove 61, it abuts against the connecting block 6. In the above embodiment, a hard alloy layer is welded on the transmission part at the lower end of the valve stem and then processed into a spherical surface, thereby ensuring the hardness of the valve stem transmission part and improving the service life of the valve stem. The spherical surface of the transmission part can be automatically aligned with the bottom surface of the transmission groove on the connecting block, preventing the plug from deviating to one side and causing excessive friction of the plug, thereby reducing the opening torque of the valve.

[0039] Preferably, an anti-flying positioning portion 55 is provided between the trapezoidal thread portion 54 and the transmission portion 58. The outer diameter of the anti-flying positioning portion 55 is larger than the diameter of the trapezoidal thread portion 54. A buffer pad 56 is installed on the anti-flying positioning portion 55. When the plug valve is in a closed state, the buffer pad 56 contacts the threaded seat 8 to cushion the impact on the threaded seat 8 caused by the valve closing process.

[0040] Preferably, a connecting mounting groove 12 and positioning groove 13 are respectively formed in the valve body 1 near the valve upper cavity 17. The main body 82 cooperates with the positioning groove 13 to achieve the installation and positioning of the threaded seat 8, and the mounting portion 81 cooperates with the mounting groove 12 to install and secure the threaded seat 8 in the valve body 1.

A first grease injection valve 100 is provided at one end of the first grease injection channel 101, and the other end leads to the second sealing portion 53 of the valve stem 5. One end of the second grease injection channel 102 communicates with the first grease injection channel 101, and the other end communicates with the annular gap 57. When sealing grease is injected into the valve through the first grease injection valve 100, the sealing grease is injected into the second sealing portion 53 of the valve stem 5 through the first grease injection channel 101, and then into the interior of the threaded seat 8 through the second grease injection channel 102, the annular gap 57, and the second inclined surface 85.

[0042] In the above embodiment, by providing a grease injection valve and grease injection channel on the valve body, when sealing grease is injected into the valve through the grease injection valve, the sealing grease can be conveniently injected into the sealing structure of the valve stem and the interior of the threaded seat through the grease injection channel. This not only seals the valve stem with grease, but also lubricates the valve stem, reducing friction between the valve stem and the threaded seat during rotation, further reducing the valve opening torque. Furthermore, since the threaded seat is positioned within the valve body near the upper chamber, the arrangement of the grease injection valve and grease injection channel on the valve body is facilitated, simplifying the simultaneous sealing and lubrication of the valve stem. Furthermore, the second inclined surface provided on the threaded seat creates an annular gap between the bottom surface of the threaded seat and the valve body, further facilitating the injection of sealing grease into the threaded seat to reduce friction on the valve stem. Furthermore, this arrangement facilitates the installation of a cushioning pad within the valve. By providing an anti-flying positioning portion between the trapezoidal threaded portion of the valve stem and the transmission portion, and attaching the cushioning pad to the anti-flying positioning portion, the cushioning pad contacts the threaded seat during the closing process of the plug valve, thereby simply and conveniently reducing the impact on the threaded seat during valve closing.

[0043] Preferably, a plurality of first annular grooves 14 are provided in the valve upper chamber 17 of the valve body 1, a third grease injection channel 201 is provided on the valve body 1 and is connected to the valve upper chamber 17, and a second grease injection valve 200 is provided at one end of the third grease injection channel 201. By providing a plurality of first annular grooves in the valve upper chamber, when sealing grease is injected into the second grease injection valve, the sealing grease enters the valve upper chamber. Under the action of the medium pressure, the sealing grease can more easily adhere to the valve body sealing surface through the first annular grooves. Secondly, because a first inclined surface is provided on the threaded seat, when sufficient sealing grease is injected into the second grease injection valve, the sealing grease can also be easily injected into the interior of the threaded seat through the first inclined surface to reduce the friction of the valve stem.

[0044] Preferably, a spring seat 7 is mounted on the underside of the plug 4. Several second springs 72 are disposed within the spring seat 7. These second springs 72 are positioned between the plug 4 and the spring seat 7 and exert an initial preload. A buffer gap is defined between the plug 4 and the spring seat 7. A valve cover 3 is mounted at the bottom opening of the valve body 1. An adjustment washer 74 and an adjustment screw 75 are sequentially mounted on the valve cover 3. A support block 73 is mounted on the underside of the spring seat 7, abutting against the adjustment washer 74. A through-hole 71 is formed in the spring seat 7. The valve lower chamber 18 and the valve middle chamber 19 are connected via the first balancing hole 41, the buffer gap, and the through-hole 71.

[0045] In the above embodiment, a spring seat is provided at the bottom of the plug, and several springs are installed in the spring holes of the spring seat. The buffer gap between the plug and the spring seat provides space for the valve stem to push the plug downward. This also provides additional sealing preload when the medium pressure is low. This can overcome the weight of the plug and push the plug tightly against the sealing surface of the valve body, thereby improving the low-pressure sealing effect of the plug valve. Furthermore, by providing an adjustment washer and adjustment screw on the valve cover, the initial preload of the spring can be adjusted to ensure the valve sealing effect.

[0046] Preferably, the lower side of the valve body 1 is provided with a plurality of second annular grooves 15 and a first grease injection groove 16 connected to the plurality of second annular grooves 15.

A third grease injection valve 300 is provided at one end of the fourth grease injection channel 301. The provision of the grease injection channel and grease injection valve on the lower side of the valve body facilitates the injection of sealing grease into the lower side of the plug, allowing the sealing grease to effectively adhere to the sealing surface of the valve body, thereby ensuring the low-torque characteristics of the valve.

[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods.
