Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of valve application, in particular to a labyrinth block hole sealing method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The labyrinth block is a core part of a multi-corner multi-channel regulating valve, which is composed of multiple groups of labyrinth sheets and is not a single integral part. Therefore, each labyrinth block surface forms a tortuous flow channel and a turning structure. When high-pressure fluid medium flows through these continuous and multi-stage tortuous flow channels, it will continuously impact the flow channel wall, causing energy loss. Through this "step-by-step energy consumption" method, multi-stage pressure reduction of the fluid medium is ultimately achieved. Through multi-stage pressure reduction, the high pressure difference is avoided from directly impacting the valve core and valve seat, thereby prolonging the service life of the valve.

[0003] The valve is commonly used in the field of olefin chemical industry. Due to the particularity of olefin chemical industry, the cleanliness level of the valve is required to be high. Since the labyrinth block structure is complex, it is difficult to clean the inside, and therefore, it is a big problem to prevent iron filings and impurities from entering the inside during subsequent machining process. At present, resin glue and hole sealing agent are commonly used for hole sealing treatment. However, due to the poor flow capacity of the materials used for hole sealing, the hole sealing is often incomplete, which leads to unqualified products or the problem of difficult operation during the hole sealing agent pouring process due to the difficulty of cleaning in the later stage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0014] The core of the present application is to provide a labyrinth block hole sealing method and device, which solves the problem that the material used for sealing the hole has poor flow capacity, often resulting in incomplete sealing, thereby causing product unqualification or difficulty in cleaning, which is easy to cause impurities to be left and difficult to operate during the process of pouring the hole sealing agent.

[0018] After the mechanical processing is finished, the salt mixture is cleaned by using clean water; since the salt mixture is soluble in water, the clean water can be used for cleaning in the subsequent process, and the cleaning method is simple and convenient. Since the hole sealing material needs to be conducive to cleaning, NaOH is selected by virtue of the characteristic that salt is soluble in water, and pure NaOH has a melting point of 318 DEG C and a large viscosity, and poor fluidity, which leads to insufficient contact and penetration with the pores, and uneven hole sealing. Therefore, in order to reduce the melting point of NaOH and improve the hole sealing quality, NaNO3 is added to NaOH.
