Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of valves, and particularly relates to a buffer valve with an elastic energy storage structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] A valve is a key control component in a fluid conveying system, and is used for adjusting the flow, pressure and flow direction of a medium. The core component of the valve is a valve disc which controls the opening and closing or flow size of the fluid by moving or rotating. In the case of abnormality of the valve, the valve disc usually needs to be quickly closed to prevent backflow of the medium. The prior art usually provides a valve disc protection part at the rear end of the valve disc. When an abnormal situation occurs, a signal is fed back to a control system, and the control system rapidly starts the valve disc protection part to press the valve disc. However, when the valve is abnormally closed, water hammer effect occurs. The rapid closing action aggravates the water hammer effect, and further increases the impact on the valve disc.

[0003] According to the search of patent literature CN215763615U, a valve with a buffering function is disclosed, which comprises a valve body and a valve disc. The top end of the valve body is provided with a valve cover. The inner wall of the valve cover is provided with a valve rod. The bottom end of the valve rod is provided with a valve disc. The inner wall of the valve disc is provided with a buffer plate. The top of the buffer plate is provided with a moving rod. The inner wall of the valve disc is provided with an installation groove which is above the buffer plate. The inner wall of the installation groove is provided with a telescopic rod. The outer wall of the telescopic rod is provided with a spring which is connected with the inner wall of the installation groove at one end. The buffer plate and the spring are installed to realize the buffering function. The valve rod is rotated, the valve disc is moved downward to stop the water flow, the impact force caused by the inertia of the water flow at the moment of stopping is impacted on the buffer plate, the moving rod is moved downward, the telescopic rods on both sides are squeezed, the force received by the telescopic rods is converted into the force of the compressed spring, so that the force caused by the water flow is offset, and the buffering effect is achieved.

[0004] The above-mentioned patent literature plays a certain buffering role on the valve disc when the water hammer effect occurs. However, the buffering device of the patent is directly installed on the valve disc, which may affect the normal movement and sealing performance of the valve disc. A single-stage spring is adopted, which cannot be self-adaptively adjusted according to the water hammer strength. Moreover, the buffering stroke of the patent may be limited, and it may not be able to provide sufficient buffering for larger water hammers. That is to say, it is difficult to balance the response speed and the buffering effect in the prior art. The protection of the valve disc usually adopts passive protection, so that the valve disc is inevitably impacted by the water hammer, thereby affecting the service life of the valve disc and the valve disc protection part. Moreover, the buffering effect of the traditional single-stage spring is limited, and it is difficult to cope with water hammer impacts of different strengths. For smaller water hammers, the single-stage spring may be too sensitive. For larger water hammers, the single-stage spring may not be able to provide sufficient buffering. SUMMARY

[0054] The center of the elastic element mounting disc 700 is provided with a fourth through hole 701, and the elastic element mounting disc 700 comprises an end plate 710 and a positioning disc 720, and the end plate 710 and the positioning disc 720 are fixedly connected, the end plate 710 is connected with the buffer cylinder 510 through bolts, and the positioning disc 720 is sequentially provided with a first clamping groove 721, a second clamping groove 722 and a third clamping groove 723 from inside to outside.

[0055] The compression assembly 800 comprises a guide rod 810, a first spring 820, a second spring 830 and a third spring 840, the first spring 820, the second spring 830 and the third spring 840 are coaxially arranged from inside to outside, the first spring 820 is clamped with the first clamping groove 721, the second spring 830 is clamped with the second clamping groove 722, the third spring 840 is clamped with the third clamping groove 723, the guide rod 810 penetrates through the first spring 820, the second spring 830 and the third spring 840, and the line diameter d1 of the first spring 820, the line diameter d2 of the second spring 830 and the line diameter d3 of the third spring 840 satisfy the following relationship: d1 < d2 < d3, the stiffness k1 of the first spring 820, the stiffness k2 of the second spring 830 and the stiffness k3 of the third spring 840 satisfy the following relationship: k1 < k2 < k3, the length of the first spring 820 is greater than the length of the second spring 830, and the length of the second spring 830 is greater than the length of the third spring 840.

[0057] It cannot be understood that, due to the arrangement of the first sealing groove 905 and the second sealing groove 906, it is ensured that water cannot flow downward from the top of the piston ring 900, but as the water hammer effect is generated or eliminated, the piston ring 900 will move along the axis direction of the buffer cylinder 510, so the second through hole 511 is arranged on the buffer cylinder 510 as a vent hole.

[0058] The application also provides a use method of the buffer valve with the elastic energy storage structure, which comprises a normal water inlet and outlet use method S1 and a use method S2 when the water hammer effect occurs.

[0059] The normal water inlet and outlet method S1 includes the following steps:

[0062] S13, the water entering the fixed cylinder 200 enters the designated position through the valve disc 110;

[0063] The water hammer effect occurs when the use method S2 includes the following steps:

[0070] It should be noted that when the small water hammer occurs, only the first spring 820 is compressed to provide soft buffering; when the moderate water hammer effect occurs, on the basis of the small water hammer, the first spring 820 is first compressed to the natural length of the second spring 830, and the first spring 820 and the second spring 830 are compressed at the same time to provide moderate buffering; when the large water hammer effect occurs, the first spring 820, the second spring 830 and the third spring 840 all participate to provide strong buffering.
