Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steam pipeline structures, and in particular relates to an integrated well valve structure for a directly buried steam pipeline. Background Art

[0002] Heating steam pipelines transport superheated steam. Most of the main pipelines are routed through green belts alongside urban motorway lanes and are laid directly underground. Conventional designs and implementations for the main shutoff and stop valves within these buried thermal steam pipelines typically employ underground enclosed valve wells, housing shutoff valves. Round manholes are installed on the top of the wells for easy access for temporary inspection and maintenance. Conventional underground valve wells for thermal pipelines have several drawbacks: First, to ensure internal operation, the wells require a large amount of space, which is particularly difficult to accommodate when large thermal pipelines are laid near urban roads and where numerous municipal pipelines are densely packed. Second, the low underground location of the wells makes them prone to flooding and submerging equipment. Third, due to the high operating temperatures of thermal pipelines and the enclosed wells, the operating environment is harsh when dry. However, when flooded, significant amounts of water vapor evaporate, impacting the surrounding environment. Fourth, in the event of a pipeline leak, a large amount of high-temperature steam fills the wells, making emergency valve operations impossible. Utility Model Content

[0003] In response to the above-mentioned technical problems, the utility model provides an integrated well valve structure for a directly buried steam pipeline to solve the problems of inconvenient operation and harsh operating environment of existing underground valves in steam pipelines. The integrated well valve structure for a directly buried steam pipeline greatly reduces the operating risks of operators in the event of steam leakage in the internal valve.

[0004] The utility model discloses an integrated well valve structure for a directly buried steam pipeline, comprising a main steam pipeline, a horizontal protective cover and a vertical protective cover. The main steam pipeline is horizontally extended, a gate valve is arranged on the main steam pipeline, a control shaft is arranged on the top of the gate valve, the control shaft is vertically arranged, a horizontally extending transmission shaft is arranged on the top of the control shaft, bevel gears are arranged between the transmission shaft and the control shaft for mutual meshing transmission, the transmission shaft is connected to an operating handwheel, the horizontal protective cover is sleeved on the outer periphery of the main steam pipeline, the horizontal protective cover is buried underground, the vertical protective cover is sleeved on the outer periphery of the control shaft, the vertical protective cover partially extends out of the ground, and an operating port is opened on the side wall of the vertical protective cover corresponding to the position of the operating handwheel.

[0005] Furthermore, the directly buried steam pipeline integrated well valve structure also includes a bypass pipe and a bypass protection cover. The bypass pipe is U-shaped and connected to both sides of the gate valve. The bypass protection cover is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bypass pipe. A bypass valve is provided on the bypass pipe, and the bypass protection cover is provided with an inspection pipe at the position of the bypass valve.

[0006] Furthermore, a first closed flange cover is provided on the top of the vertical protective cover, a second closed flange cover is provided on the operation port, and a third closed flange cover is provided on the top of the inspection pipe.

[0007] This directly buried steam pipeline integrated well valve structure can overcome the various disadvantages of conventional thermal pipeline underground valve wells: First, it occupies a small space, and the main steam pipeline is easy to arrange when it is laid around urban roads. Second, the horizontal protective cover and the vertical protective cover provide airtight protection for the internal gate valve, and both the upper exposed part and the underground part have reliable rain and waterproof functions. Third, it is integrated inside and outside, and it does not affect the environmental beauty when laid on the urban ground. Fourth, the horizontal protective cover and the vertical protective cover form a secondary temperature protection, avoiding the risk of burns caused by the high-temperature main steam pipeline to pedestrians. Fifth, the operating handwheel of the gate valve extends to the ground and is arranged on the side, which greatly reduces the operating risk of the operator in the event of steam leakage from the internal valve.
