Description

Technical field:

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of valves, in particular to a flow regulating valve. Background technology:

[0002] Valves are pipeline accessories used to open and close pipelines, control flow direction, and adjust and control the parameters (temperature, pressure, and flow) of the conveying medium. According to their functions, they can be divided into shut-off valves, check valves, regulating valves, etc. Among them, the flow regulating valve is an intuitive and simple flow regulating control device.

[0003] The existing valves are respectively provided with cylindrical holes on the valve body and the valve core, and the flow control is achieved by adjusting the valve opening to adjust the overlap degree of the two holes. For example, the valve ball disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN217815092U and Chinese utility model patent CN217355648U has the disadvantage that the relationship between the flow and the valve opening is a monotonically increasing curve, and the slope of the curve decreases as the valve opening increases, and the linear regulation control of the flow cannot be accurately achieved.

[0004] In order to realize linear regulation and control of flow rate, linear regulation is realized by V-hole ball valve core. For example, Chinese invention patent (publication number CN104653806A, application date 2015.02.05, publication date 2015.05.27) discloses an electric linear ball valve with a linear relationship between opening and flow rate, including a V-hole ball valve core, a valve body, and a valve stem. The V-hole ball valve core is a spherical copper component. The center of the V-hole ball valve core is provided with a through hole in the left and right directions, called a V-channel. The left cross-section of the V-channel is circular, and the right cross-section of the V-channel is a combination of a semicircle and a semi-square. The top of the V-hole ball valve core is provided with a rectangular through groove in the front-to-back direction, called a mortise and tenon groove. The valve body is a hollow thin-walled copper component with an inner channel in the left and right directions and a circular cross-section in the center. The left end of the inner channel is the inlet end, and the inner channel is The right end is the outlet end, and the middle part of the inner channel is the valve core chamber; a rectangular platform-shaped flange is provided on the top of the valve body, which is called a flange, and a cylindrical step-shaped through hole in the upper and lower directions and the lower end of which is connected to the valve core chamber is provided in the center of the flange, which is called a stem hole; the valve stem is a copper component in the shape of a cylindrical rod, and a joint for connecting the output end of the motor driver is provided on the upper part of the valve stem, and the cross-section of the joint is oblong, and an external thread is provided on the arc cylindrical surface of the joint; an annular groove is provided on the cylindrical surface of the middle part of the valve stem, which is called a sealing groove; a step with a rectangular cross-section is provided on the lower part of the valve stem, which is called a tenon; the V-hole ball valve core slides and is sealed in the valve core chamber of the valve body, and the sealing groove of the valve stem is embedded with a sealing ring, and the valve stem slides and is sealed in the stem hole of the valve body, and the tenon of the valve stem is buckled and connected with the tenon groove of the V-hole ball valve core, and the joint of the valve stem protrudes above the flange of the valve body. The device has a simple structure and reliable operation. The rotation opening of the V-hole ball valve core 1 is in a corresponding linear relationship with the flow rate, and can replace the electric linear gate valve for regulating the flow rate in the automatic control pipeline. In addition, since the rotation angle opening response speed of the V-hole ball valve core 1 is higher than the lifting opening response speed of the gate valve, the overall self-control response speed of the automatic control pipeline system can be improved, so that the electric linear valve used for flow regulation in the automatic control pipeline has a simplified structure, a reduced size, a reduced cost, and a higher response speed.

[0005] Another example is a Chinese utility model patent (announcement number CN217951376U, application date 2022.07.06, announcement date 2022.12.02) that discloses a V-type regulating valve with a temperature measuring hole, including a valve body, a rotatable valve stem in the longitudinal axis of the valve body, a V-shaped valve ball (i.e., valve core) arranged in the cavity of the valve body, and a temperature measuring PT hole arranged at the bottom of the valve body, wherein the temperature measuring PT hole is integrally formed with the valve body. The opening surface of the V-shaped valve ball: one side opening surface is "O" type, and the other side opening surface is "" type. The valve ball adopts a V-shaped design, and the original valve ball has "O" type openings on both sides, and is changed to one side with "O" type opening and one side with "" type opening; when the valve body is opened, the valve ball "" surface should open the small end first, and the valve core rotates counterclockwise; when the valve is closed, the valve ball surface should close the large end first, and the valve core rotates clockwise, which greatly improves the relationship between flow and opening.

[0006] The disadvantage of the above V-shaped valve is that the linear relationship between the flow rate and the valve opening is mainly achieved by the overlap between the V-shaped hole of the valve core and the hole of the valve body, but the start and end of the valve opening from open to closed or from closed to open have a curve relationship (see the appendix of the specification of utility model patent CN217951376U). Figure 4 , 5 ), that is, there are two sections where the flow rate and valve opening are not linearly related. The reason for this phenomenon is that the degree of opening and closing at the inlet end of the valve body (that is, the degree of overlap between the circular hole of the valve core and the hole of the valve body) will affect the flow rate at the outlet end of the valve body.
