Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fluid pressure reduction, and relates to a pressure reduction device. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the technical field of fluid pressure reduction, pressure reduction is mainly achieved by controlling the valve opening. After the outlet pressure of the pressure reducing valve is fed back into the valve body, there are moving parts such as regulating springs in the valve body to control the valve opening. These moving parts are mostly made of metal materials, which are prone to failure. Moreover, when the valve opening is low, if there are impurities in the medium, it is easy to be blocked, damaging the pressure reducing valve. And some moving parts are difficult to withstand high temperature and high pressure.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a pressure reduction device that can well adapt to the pressure change at the inlet of the pressure reduction device, is stable and reliable, resistant to high temperature and high pressure, and has good tolerance to the medium quality is an urgent problem to be solved at present. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A pressure reduction device includes a first Tesla valve and a second Tesla valve serially arranged between an inlet and an outlet through a pipeline; a first pipeline and / or a second pipeline is / are communicated between the inlet and the first Tesla valve, the first pipeline is parallel to the first Tesla valve, and the second pipeline is parallel to the first Tesla valve and the second Tesla valve; after the fluid enters through the inlet, it flows through the first pipeline and / or the second pipeline respectively, and flows through the first Tesla valve for pressure reduction, and then converges at one end of the first Tesla valve far from the inlet and jointly flows through the second Tesla valve for pressure reduction.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , which is a pressure reducing device, including a first Tesla valve 1 and a second Tesla valve 2 that are sequentially connected in series through pipelines between an inlet and an outlet; a first pipeline 4 and / or a second pipeline 5 are communicated between the inlet and the first Tesla valve 1. The first pipeline 4 is connected in parallel with the first Tesla valve 1, and the second pipeline 5 is connected in parallel with the first Tesla valve 1 and the second Tesla valve 2. Cut-off valves 6 are provided on both the first pipeline 4 and the second pipeline 5. A pressure detection unit 7 electrically connected to the cut-off valve 6 is provided at the outlet.

[0029] After the fluid enters through the inlet, it is divided into two paths. One path flows through the first pipeline 4, and the other path flows through the first Tesla valve 1 for pressure reduction. After converging at the end of the first Tesla valve 1 far from the inlet, they jointly flow through the second Tesla valve 2 for pressure reduction. The pressure detection unit 7 detects the pressure of the fluid at the outlet and interlocks and controls the cut-off valve 6 according to the detection result. When the outlet pressure rises, the automatic cut-off valve 6 is gradually closed according to the process requirements. When the outlet pressure drops, the automatic cut-off valve 6 is gradually opened according to the process requirements. When the cut-off valve 6 is fully closed, the fluid does not pass through the first pipeline 4 and the second pipeline 5. After entering from the inlet, it successively flows through the first Tesla valve 1, the second Tesla valve 2, the third Tesla valve 3, and the outlet, and is depressurized by the Tesla valve. When the cut-off valve 6 is fully opened, most of the fluid flows through the first pipeline 4 and the second pipeline 5, and a small amount flows through the first Tesla valve 1, the second Tesla valve 2, and the third Tesla valve 3 for pressure reduction, and then the outlet pressure will rise.

[0030] The number of cut-off valves 6 is one less than the number of Tesla valves.

[0031] The Tesla valve, also known as the Tesla vortex valve, realizes unidirectional conduction and control through the flow characteristics of the fluid in the pipeline. Due to its ingenious spatial structure design, the fluid behaves very differently when flowing forward and backward, and it can achieve unidirectional conduction of the air flow without relying on internal mechanical movement. It has a wide range of applications, especially suitable for high-viscosity liquids, corrosive liquids, and high-temperature and high-pressure environments, and has good tolerance to the medium.

[0032] The pressure reduction device further includes a third Tesla valve 3 connected in series between the second Tesla valve 2 and the outlet. The first Tesla valve 1, the second Tesla valve 2, and the third Tesla valve 3 are all composed of a number of Tesla valve groups 9 connected in series. Each Tesla valve group 9 is a water droplet-shaped channel surrounded by a pipeline, and the tapered ends of adjacent Tesla valve groups 9 are connected to the side walls. After the fluid enters from the tapered end, it is divided into two paths, flowing through the side wall and the arc section respectively and then entering the tapered end of the next Tesla valve group 9. Relying on the working principle of the Tesla valve, unidirectional conduction of the fluid can be achieved. Combining the control of the fluid pressure in the first pipeline 4 and the second pipeline 5, the step-by-step adjustment of the fluid pressure at the outlet of the overall device can be realized. The fluid entering from the inlet is divided into three paths. The first path flows through the first pipeline 4, the second path flows through the first Tesla valve 1 for pressure reduction. After converging at the end of the first Tesla valve 1 far from the inlet, they jointly flow through the second Tesla valve 2 for pressure reduction. The fluid depressurized by the second Tesla valve 2 converges with the fluid in the third path and then flows through the third Tesla valve 3 for pressure reduction. After the pressure reduction is completed, it flows out from the outlet.

[0033] The outsides of the first Tesla valve 1, the second Tesla valve 2, and the third Tesla valve 3 are all wrapped with accommodation boxes 8; and the first Tesla valve 1, the second Tesla valve 2, and the third Tesla valve 3 can be arranged side by side, stacked, or horizontally dispersed. This facilitates reasonable layout according to the size of the on-site space and reduces the floor area.

[0034] In practical applications, different numbers of Tesla valves and the setting positions of adjacent Tesla valves can be selected according to different pressure reduction ranges to adapt to the pressure change at the inlet of the pressure reduction device and ensure that the outlet pressure of the pressure reduction device meets the process requirements. It should be noted that the setting directions of several Tesla valves should be the same to simultaneously achieve the pressure reduction effect on the fluid and adjust the pressure reduction ratio.

[0035] The pressure reduction ratio refers to the ratio of the pressure before and after pressure reduction by a pressure reducing valve, which determines whether the pressure reduction device can achieve the required pressure drop. Too small a pressure reduction ratio will result in poor pressure reduction effect, while too large a pressure reduction ratio will cause the pressure reduction device to open excessively and leakage will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to determine and adjust the pressure reduction ratio of the pressure reduction device according to actual needs.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the present technical solution, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
