Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sealing valves, in particular to a liquid metal sealing valve for high-temperature environments with a heating top cover. Background Art

[0002] In order to achieve the tight closing of the sealing valve during the dust removal switching of the high-temperature gas generated by coal pyrolysis, Chinese Patent No. CN103629381A, a liquid metal sealing valve for gas pipelines in high-temperature environments, and Chinese Patent No. CN103615586A, an improved liquid metal sealing valve for gas pipelines in high-temperature environments, both adopt the method of arranging a liquid metal sealing groove for pouring at the bottom of the valve body, matching an isolation cover and other necessary structures to achieve the absolute sealing of high-temperature gas. However, when the high-temperature gas enters the intake chamber and the outlet chamber at a lower temperature, the tar in the gas condenses into liquid tar. In the subsequent normal high-temperature gas environment, the volatile components in the liquid tar will volatilize, turning the precipitated liquid tar into coke deposits. The coke deposits adhere to the inner cavity of the sealing valve and the surface of the valve stem, affecting the flexibility of the valve stem movement, the effectiveness of liquid sealing, and reducing the service life of the valve. Although both solutions disclose the setting of a heating mechanism on the outer periphery of the valve body, since the heat insulation layers of the two disclosures are arranged inside the valve body, the outer heating mechanism cannot effectively heat the inside of the valve body, and thus the phenomenon of coke precipitation cannot be truly avoided. How to reduce or even avoid the precipitation of tar in the gas in the sealing valve and improve the service life of the sealing valve has become a problem to be solved.

[0003] In view of this, this solution is specifically proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] One of the purposes of the utility model is to provide a top cover for a liquid metal sealing valve.

The upper end of the outer shell of the single-ended heating tube is connected to the top cover, and the heating wire of the single-ended heating tube is electrically connected to the power control unit through a lead or a terminal provided on the outer shell of the single-ended heating tube.

[0011] Further, the power control unit includes a power supply and a temperature controller.

[0012] In a second aspect, the present utility model provides a liquid metal sealing valve for use in a high-temperature environment with a heating top cover, including the aforementioned top cover.

When the top cover is used to seal the valve body, the inner side surface provided with the heating assembly faces the inner cavity of the valve body, so that the heating assembly is located inside the sealed valve body, achieving the purpose of heating the inside of the sealed valve body; the heating assembly is arranged in the inner cavity of the top cover and above the shielding cover to prevent the heating assembly from affecting the upward movement of the shielding cover when the sealing valve is opened. The heating top cover can be applied to a liquid metal sealing valve. The ambient temperature of the inner cavity of the valve body is heated to the gas temperature by the heating assembly, preventing high-temperature gas from condensing and precipitating coal tar when encountering cold.

[0028] The plurality of heating components are located on the top cover 4 and above the isolation cover 3.

[0029] By arranging heating components inside the top cover 4, when the top cover 4 is used to seal the valve body, the inner side surface with the heating components faces the inner cavity of the valve body, so that the heating components are located inside the sealed valve body, achieving the purpose of heating the inside of the sealed valve body; the heating components are arranged in the inner cavity of the top cover 4 and above the isolation cover 3, avoiding the influence of the heating components on the upward movement of the isolation cover 3 when the sealing valve is opened. The heating top cover can be applied to a liquid metal sealing valve, and the ambient temperature in the inner cavity of the valve body is heated to the gas temperature by the heating components, preventing the high-temperature gas from condensing and precipitating coal tar. It solves the technical problem in the prior art that the liquid metal sealing valve cannot heat the valve body cavity, causing the tar in the gas to condense and precipitate into liquid tar, and the precipitated liquid tar becomes coking substances, and the coking substances adhere to the inner cavity of the sealing valve and the surface of the valve stem, affecting the use of the valve body.

[0030] The number and installation positions of the heating components can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the inner cavity space of the sealing valve to be applied, so as to heat the temperature of the inner cavity space to the gas temperature without affecting the upward movement of the isolation cover 3 driven by the lifting drive system 1 when the valve is opened.

[0031] In some specific embodiments, the heating component includes a heating tube 5 and a power control unit 6. The heating tube 5 is arranged on the top cover 4, and the power control unit 6 is electrically connected to the heating tube 5.

[0032] The power control unit 6 supplies power to the heating tube 5 and controls the opening or closing of the power supply to prevent the temperature of the inner cavity of the valve body from being lower than or higher than the gas temperature.

[0033] To facilitate the control of the heating tube 5, in some specific embodiments, one end of the heating tube 5 is located inside the top cover 4, and the other end penetrates through the top cover 4 and is electrically connected to the power control unit 6.

[0034] During use, the power control unit 6 is located outside the valve body, and the heating state of the heating tube 5 located inside the valve body is controlled to be turned on or off through the power control unit 6.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, the heating tube 5 is a single-end heating tube. The upper end of the outer shell of the single-end heating tube is connected to the top cover 4, and the heating wire of the single-end heating tube is electrically connected to the power control unit 6 through a lead or terminal arranged on the outer shell of the single-end heating tube.

[0037] Among them, the thermostat sets the temperature control. When the temperature is heated to the upper limit of the set temperature, the power supply is cut off, and when the temperature is lower than the lower limit of the set temperature, the power supply is turned on.

[0038] The temperature setting of the thermostat can adjust the working temperature according to process requirements. For example, the temperature of the thermostat can be set to 550±5°C.

[0039] To facilitate installation, in some specific embodiments, the top cover is provided with a through hole coaxially arranged with the top cover. The through hole cooperates with the provided lifting drive system 1, and the valve is opened or sealed through the lifting drive system 1.

[0040] According to another aspect of the present invention, a liquid metal sealing valve for high-temperature environment with a heating top cover is further provided, including the aforementioned top cover 4. The top cover 4 is located at the top end of the valve body, and several heating components are located inside the valve body.

[0041] By using the aforementioned top cover 4, the heating component located inside the valve body can heat the internal cavity of the valve body, heating the ambient temperature of the internal cavity of the valve body to the gas temperature, preventing high-temperature gas from condensing and separating out coal tar. By directly heating inside the chamber, the heating efficiency is higher. In addition, the overall structure is simple and convenient for maintenance. It solves the technical problem in the prior art that the liquid metal seal valve cannot heat the cavity of the valve body, causing the tar in the gas to condense and separate into liquid tar, and the separated liquid tar becomes coke, and the coke adheres to the inner cavity of the seal valve and the surface of the valve stem, affecting the use of the valve body.

The intake chamber 7 and the outlet chamber 8 are respectively located on both sides of the isolation cover 3, and the heating component heats the outlet chamber 8. When in use, before the seal valve is opened, the heating component is first turned on to heat the outlet chamber 8 to the gas temperature. When the seal valve is opened, the high-temperature gas avoids separating out liquid tar in an environment with a comparable temperature and no coke will appear.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the output end of the lifting drive system 1 passes through a through hole on the top cover 4 and is connected to the isolation cover 3.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the edge of the top cover 4 is connected to the top of the valve body by bolts.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 for description, a heating top cover for a liquid metal sealing valve, there are 12 heating components provided inside the top cover 4; the 12 heating components are arranged circumferentially along the top cover 4 and are above the isolation cover 3. The heating component includes a heating tube 5 and a power control unit 6. One end of the heating tube 5 is located inside the top cover 4, and the other end penetrates the top cover 4 and is electrically connected to the power control unit 6.

[0054] Among them, the heating tube 5 is a single-end heating tube, the power of each single-end heating tube is 3KW, the outer shell of the single-end heating tube is connected to the top cover 4, and the heating wire of the single-end heating tube is electrically connected to the power control unit 6 through a terminal. The power control unit 6 includes a power supply and a temperature controller, and the temperature of the temperature controller is set to 550±5°C.

[0055] Embodiment 2

[0056] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 for description, a liquid metal sealing valve for a high-temperature environment with a heating top cover, its valve body is provided with an intake chamber 7 communicating with the intake port and an outlet chamber 8 communicating with the outlet port. A lifting drive system 1 is provided through the top cover 4 at the top of the valve body, a liquid seal groove 2 for pouring liquid metal is provided at the bottom, and an isolation cover 3 matching the liquid seal groove. 12 heating components are distributed circumferentially along the outlet chamber 8.

[0057] Among them, the inner diameter of the outlet chamber 8 of the metal sealing valve is 1800mm and the depth is 1350mm.

[0058] Working principle:

[0059] Before opening the sealing valve, turn on the power supply first to make the single-end heating work to preheat the gas outlet chamber. When the temperature reaches 550±5°C set by the thermostat, turn off the power supply. At this time, the sealing valve can be opened, and the lifting drive system 1 drives the isolation cover 3 to move upward. Since the gas outlet chamber has been preheated to 550±5°C, it avoids the condensation of coal tar when high-temperature gas enters the gas outlet chamber.

[0060] During the use process, since the set temperature of the thermostat is 550±5°C, when the temperature reaches the set temperature, the power supply can be automatically turned off, and when the temperature is lower than the set temperature, the power supply can be automatically turned on to ensure that the preheating temperature of the gas outlet chamber 8 reaches the set temperature during the opening process of the sealing valve, avoiding the condensation of coal tar when high-temperature gas enters the gas outlet chamber 8.
