Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of control valves, in particular to an intelligent control valve. Background Art
[0002] Fossil energy is the foundation of modern industry, especially gasoline, diesel, and liquefied gas, which are the lifeblood of modern operation. They are therefore known as soft gold. Their wide range of uses is self-explanatory. During their transportation, storage, loading and unloading, valves must meet the requirements of two-way sealing, frequent opening and closing, and adjustment.
[0003] At present, the Chinese utility model with publication number CN218954089U discloses a forged steel pneumatic automatic closing hard-seal floating ball valve, including a valve structure, a lower sealing section and an upper sealing section. The valve structure includes a valve body, a valve cover and a ball. The valve body and the valve cover are fixedly connected by mounting nuts and mounting studs. A left metal valve seat and a right metal valve seat are respectively provided on both sides of the ball, and the top of the ball is connected to the bottom end of the valve stem; the lower sealing section includes a valve seat spring, a No. 5 O-ring and a wound graphite gasket. The valve seat spring is arranged between the valve cover and the left metal valve seat. The connection between the valve cover and the valve body is sealed with a wound graphite gasket and a No. 5 O-ring; the upper sealing section is located between the valve stem and the valve body.
[0004] Due to the characteristics of minimum throttling gap and maximum flow rate, when existing ball valves are used with a small opening, they are prone to cause serious erosion of the inner wall of the pipeline behind the valve, thereby affecting the service life of the valve. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an intelligent control valve, which has the advantages of improving valve adjustment performance, easy opening and use, while reducing scouring of pipelines, ensuring safety in use and service life.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned and other related purposes, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] An intelligent control valve comprises a valve body, a spherical valve core movably arranged in the valve body, valve seats are arranged on the valve body on both sides of the spherical valve core, and a sealing ring is arranged between the valve seat and the valve body; a mounting seat is fixedly arranged on the outside of the valve body, a valve stem fixedly connected to the spherical valve core is rotatably connected to the mounting seat, and an actuator for driving the valve stem to rotate is connected to the valve stem; a liquid inlet section and a liquid outlet section are respectively provided on the valve body on both sides of the spherical valve core; a baffle is fixedly arranged in the liquid outlet section, and a plurality of liquid outlet holes are provided on the baffle.
[0008] In one embodiment of the present invention, a through hole is opened in the middle of the baffle, and a plurality of the liquid outlet holes are equidistantly arranged around the through hole.
[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, a rotating shaft coaxially arranged with the valve stem is fixedly provided on one side of the spherical valve core, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the valve body.
[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, a worm gear box is provided between the valve stem and the actuator.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the actuator includes a sealed housing, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the sealed housing, a main chamber disposed in the sealed housing, and two auxiliary chambers located on both sides of the main chamber; one end of the rotating shaft is connected to the turbine housing;
[0012] A first cylinder assembly is disposed in the main chamber, and a second cylinder assembly is disposed in the sub-chamber.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first cylinder assembly includes a gear fixed on the rotating shaft, two racks located above and below the gear and meshing with the gear, and two main piston plates fixedly connected to the two racks and sliding horizontally back and forth in the main chamber; elastic members are connected between the two main piston plates and the side walls of the main chamber;
[0014] A first main air hole communicating with the main chamber is provided on the side wall of the sealing housing between the two main piston plates;
[0015] A second main air hole communicating with the main chamber is provided on the side wall of the sealing shell between the two piston plates and the corresponding side wall of the main chamber.
[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second cylinder assembly includes a secondary piston plate that slides back and forth horizontally in the secondary chamber, and a valve position regulating rod fixed to the secondary piston plate;
[0017] An opening is provided on the side wall of the main chamber, and one end of the valve position regulating rod passes through the opening and enters the main chamber;
[0018] A first auxiliary air hole and a second auxiliary air hole communicating with the auxiliary chamber are respectively formed on the side walls of the sealing shell located on both sides of the auxiliary piston plate.
[0019] As described above, the intelligent control valve of the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. A baffle is installed at the liquid outlet section. When the valve is used with a small opening, the liquid falls directly onto the baffle, which blocks the liquid, thereby reducing the erosion of the liquid on the liquid outlet section wall, thereby increasing the service life of the valve body. In addition, the through holes and liquid outlet holes provided on the baffle facilitate liquid outflow without affecting the flow of the liquid, and also avoid turbulence.
[0021] 2. The first cylinder assembly is used to control the full opening or closing of the valve. When air is inflated into the main chamber through the first or second main air hole, the main piston plate slides left or right within the main chamber under the action of the air pressure difference, thereby driving the rack drive gear to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby controlling the full opening or closing of the valve.
[0022] The second cylinder assembly is used to adjust the valve opening and closing to the size required by the working conditions. When air is inflated into the secondary chamber through the first secondary air hole or the second secondary air hole, the secondary piston plate slides left or right in the secondary chamber under the action of the air pressure difference, thereby adjusting the length of the valve position adjustment rod entering the main chamber. The valve position adjustment rod is used to limit the sliding distance of the main piston plate, thereby adjusting the valve opening and closing to the position required by the working conditions, thereby improving the adjustment performance of the control valve.
[0023] 3. The first cylinder assembly and the second cylinder assembly work together to ensure that even if the second cylinder assembly fails, the first cylinder assembly can still ensure that the valve is fully opened and closed, ensuring the safe use of the control valve.
