Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a large-caliber piston-type regulating valve. Background Art

[0002] A piston-type regulating valve is a special valve that not only cuts off the flow of media in a pipeline but also precisely adjusts flow according to different operating conditions. Existing large-diameter piston-type regulating valves feature a cylindrical valve body with a water inlet at the front and a water outlet at the rear. A coaxial guide cylinder is positioned within the valve body, housing a coaxial, mating stainless steel piston. An O-ring seal is installed between the piston and the guide cylinder. A valve stem, perpendicular to the valve body axis, is inserted into the valve body, with a piston drive mechanism located between the valve stem and the piston.

[0003] In the prior art, the piston drive device between the valve shaft and piston of a large-diameter piston-type regulating valve is a crank-connecting rod mechanism. During use, the valve shaft is driven to rotate. This rotation, through the crank-connecting rod, drives the piston to slide axially within the guide cylinder. This regulates the flow rate or pressure of the pipeline medium after the valve by changing the flow area between the piston sealing ring and the valve body sealing ring. When the crank-connecting rod drive device drives the piston to slide axially within the guide cylinder of this large-diameter piston-type regulating valve, the piston is subjected to both axial and radial forces. Due to the sliding fit between the guide cylinder and the piston, the radial force can cause the axial sliding of the piston to jam. This jamming not only increases the unpredictable switching torque of the large-diameter piston-type regulating valve, but also increases the wear between the sliding mating surfaces. The wear of the sliding mating surfaces causes the axis of the guide cylinder and the piston to deviate, thereby reducing the performance of the large-diameter piston-type regulating valve. In addition, when adjusting the flow and pressure, the piston of the regulating valve needs to be frequently adjusted, which causes great wear on the O-ring between the piston and the guide cylinder, resulting in internal leakage of the valve. The O-ring between the piston and the guide cylinder needs to be replaced frequently, which reduces the service life of the sealing ring. At the same time, due to the heavy weight of the large-diameter piston, the lower part of the O-ring is easily deformed, which will cause the piston to sink and cause the seal to fail. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and to provide a large-diameter piston-type regulating valve which does not subject the piston to radial force and can effectively prevent the piston from sinking.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a large-caliber piston-type regulating valve, which has a cylindrical valve body, a water inlet at the front end of the valve body and a water outlet at the rear end, a coaxial guide cylinder positioned in the valve body, a coaxial matching stainless steel piston installed in the guide cylinder, an O-shaped sealing ring is provided between the piston and the guide cylinder, a valve stem perpendicular to the valve body axis is inserted into the valve body, a piston driving device is provided between the valve stem and the piston, and is characterized in that: the piston driving device includes a first bevel gear installed at the end of the valve shaft and a second bevel gear matching the first bevel gear, whose axis is in the same straight line as the axis of the guide cylinder, and also includes a gear box, which is positioned in the guide cylinder by a fixed rib plate connected to the wall of the guide cylinder, and the first and second bevel gears are fixed in the guide cylinder. Installed in the gear box, the lead screw passes through the gear box and cooperates with the second bevel gear. The rotation of the second bevel gear can drive the linear motion of the lead screw. One end of the lead screw passing through the gear box is positioned and connected to the stainless steel piston; a circumferential groove is formed on the inner circumference of the cylinder body at the rear end of the guide cylinder, and the O-ring is located in the circumferential groove. A supporting copper ring for the stainless steel piston to slide along the axis of the valve body is inserted into the circumferential groove. The front end of the supporting copper ring abuts against the O-ring, and the rear end is connected to a positioning ring perpendicular to the axis of the supporting copper ring. There is an annular gap between the positioning ring and the end face of the rear end of the guide cylinder. The positioning ring is installed on the rear end of the guide cylinder through positioning bolts installed at intervals thereon, and an adjusting nut is installed on the positioning bolt.

[0006] With the large-diameter piston-type regulating valve of the above structure, when the valve shaft is driven to rotate by the driving device, the rotation of the first bevel gear drives the corresponding rotation of the second bevel gear, and the rotation of the second bevel gear can drive the linear motion of the lead screw. Since one end of the lead screw is positioned and connected to the piston, the linear motion of the lead screw will drive the linear motion of the piston, and will not cause the piston to be subjected to radial force, and therefore will not cause the axial sliding of the piston to produce jamming. In the utility model, since a supporting copper ring is provided, the weight of the stainless steel piston is mainly supported by the supporting copper ring, which can effectively prevent the piston from sinking, and avoid the problem of sealing failure caused by piston sinking. After long-term use and wear of the O-ring, the sealing effect of the sealing ring can be restored by adjusting the adjusting nut on the positioning bolt to move the supporting copper ring forward and squeeze the O-ring, thereby extending the service life of the O-ring.

[0007] As an improvement to the present invention, the rear end barrel bottom of the stainless steel piston is further connected to an energy dissipation cylinder. Circumferentially uniformly distributed support blocks are installed on the inner side of the rear end barrel bottom of the stainless steel piston. A tightening screw is installed at the end of the support block, and one end of the tightening screw rests on the inner wall of the energy dissipation cylinder. In the present invention, an energy dissipation cylinder is connected to the rear end barrel bottom of the piston to adjust the flow or pressure of the pipeline medium. By providing circumferentially uniformly distributed support blocks on the inner side of the rear end barrel bottom of the piston, a tightening screw is screwed onto the end of the support block, and the end of the tightening screw rests on the inner wall of the energy dissipation cylinder, the energy dissipation cylinder can be prevented from deformation.
