Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of polypropylene production, and in particular to a PDS control valve damping device used in a UNIPOL process. Background Art
[0002] The Unipol process technology is widely used in polypropylene production due to its high efficiency, environmental protection, high product quality and high degree of automation in the production process. The polypropylene product discharge system uses an intermittent method to transport homopolymers or random copolymers from the reactor to the product purification bin for storage.
[0003] The discharge control system used is PDS: Product Discharge System, in which the PDS control valve is a key device, mainly used to control the product discharge system of the polypropylene unit reactor to start and stop the discharge. The polypropylene product is discharged from the reactor C-4001 to the PC tank, then from the PC tank to the PBT tank, and finally transported to the product purification warehouse.
[0004] The PC tank is discharged to the PBT tank through a pipeline, and a PDS control valve is provided on the pipeline.
[0005] The PDS control valve is a pneumatic switch ball valve, which consists of a valve body, an actuator, and valve accessories (solenoid valve, valve position feedback switch, and air control valve). Figure 1 As shown, the largest valve D has a valve diameter of 12", a large valve body and an actuator, and the actuator is arranged on one side of the valve body. The actuator is installed horizontally relative to the valve body, and the drive shaft of the actuator is arranged parallel to the ground and is connected to the valve body drive.
[0006] Due to the above installation position, the following problems may occur during operation:
[0007] The PDS control valve has the characteristics of fast switching time and high frequency of operation. The switching process is accompanied by different degrees of vibration. Due to the gravity of the horizontally installed actuator, the connector and the valve stem are not on the same horizontal line during operation. This leads to faults such as valve position switch breakage, valve stem wear, and valve packing leakage. In severe cases, the valve stem will be locked and blocked, the valve cannot be switched, and the control fails. This seriously affects the stable operation of the device, and the failure rate is high, and the service life is shortened.
[0008] At the same time, there are also problems such as the valve position feedback switch rotating shaft being broken and the valve stuffing box and pressure cover being damaged.
[0009] The commonly used method in production at present is to frequently replace easily damaged parts such as valve position feedback switches and valve packing to avoid jamming, but the above problem has not been fundamentally solved.
[0010] The information disclosed in the background technology section is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of the present invention, and should not be regarded as acknowledging or suggesting in any form that the information constitutes the prior art already known to ordinary technicians in the field.

The specific connection method is the same as that of the existing complete set of equipment.
[0035] The PC tank 1 and the PBT tank 4 are installed at intervals on the top and bottom of the bracket 11. The PC tank 1 and the PBT tank 4 are relatively large in overall size. The connecting pipeline is arranged in the middle of the bracket 11. The valve body 2 and the actuator 3 are accommodated and arranged in the middle of the bracket 1. A feedback switch 31 is arranged on one side of the actuator 3; the feedback switch 31 is arranged to extend outwardly parallel to the ground.
[0036] One end of the inclined support plate 34 is connected to the outer wall of the actuator 3, and the other end is connected to the extended end of the feedback switch 31, and is obliquely supported between the actuator 3 and the feedback switch 31. The hanging plate 35 is arranged on the outer wall of the actuator 3 and is arranged toward the top surface of the bracket 11. The variable spring support bracket 32 is hung on the middle top surface of the bracket 11 and is connected to the hanging plate 35 through a wire rope 331.
[0037] By setting the variable spring hanger 32, when the feedback switch 31 vibrates, it can move with the vibration. At the same time, the required spring force size can be calculated according to the total deadweight of the actuator 3.
[0038] Reasonable spring selection is performed, and spring hanger 32 is purchased and installed to offset the total deadweight of actuator 3, so as to avoid deformation, wear and jamming of feedback switch 31 under deadweight.
[0039] In a specific embodiment, it includes: a suspension rope 33; one end of the suspension rope 33 is welded to the top of the middle layer of the bracket 11, and the other end is connected to the variable spring support bracket 32.
