Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of valves, and in particular relates to a pneumatic regulating valve. Background Art
[0002] A regulating valve, also known as a control valve, is an actuator in an automatic control system. Unlike common shut-off valves, it regulates the flow and pressure of fluids within a system to meet the fluid parameter requirements of different application scenarios. Regulating valves are typically driven by electric or pneumatic actuators. Because pneumatic actuators use air as their working medium, they offer advantages such as simple structure, high safety, and strong overload resistance. They are particularly suitable for applications requiring explosion-proofing. Therefore, pneumatic actuators are widely used in regulating valve applications.
[0003] Due to the compressibility of air in existing pneumatic control valves, particularly when using large diaphragm pneumatic actuators, it takes time for air to fill and exhaust the air chamber, resulting in a slow response speed. Furthermore, to prevent leakage, the valve stem of existing pneumatic control valves must withstand significant packing clamping force. When the control valve receives a control signal to change the valve opening, the valve stem must be driven by the pneumatic actuator from a stationary state to a moving state, causing the valve stem to frequently switch between these two states. Mechanically, the friction between the valve stem and the packing frequently switches between static friction and sliding friction. Because static friction between the valve stem and the packing is always greater than sliding friction, when the valve stem overcomes the static packing friction and transitions from a stationary state to a moving state, the packing friction on the valve stem transforms into sliding friction, instantly reducing resistance and causing the valve stem to jump. This displacement deviation of the valve stem directly affects the control accuracy of the control valve.
[0004] It can be seen that in order to meet the adjustment accuracy requirements during operation, the existing pneumatic control valve has frequent opening and closing movements with small amplitudes. In order to overcome the jump phenomenon caused by the difference between the sliding friction and the static friction between the valve stem and the packing, it is hoped that the valve stem diameter is as small as possible. However, a too small valve stem diameter, that is, a slender stem, will bend during the valve closing process, affecting the valve stem sealing and other performances. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to at least one of the aforementioned deficiencies of existing pneumatic control valves, the present invention provides a pneumatic control valve that addresses the problem that, in order to meet the requirements for control accuracy during operation, existing pneumatic control valves frequently open and close with minimal amplitude. To overcome the jump caused by the difference between the sliding friction and the static friction between the valve stem and the packing, it is desirable to have a valve stem diameter as small as possible. However, an excessively small valve stem diameter, i.e., a slender stem, can bend during valve closing, affecting performance such as the stem seal. The present invention facilitates reducing the valve stem diameter and preventing stem bending and deformation, thereby effectively reducing packing friction, ensuring valve stem sealing, improving valve control accuracy, and optimizing valve control characteristics.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0025] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

A cavity is arranged inside the valve body 1; the valve seat 3 is installed inside the valve body 1; the throttling sleeve 4 is arranged in the valve body 1 and is arranged above the valve seat 3; the valve cover 6 is installed on the top of the valve body 1, and a through hole is opened on the valve cover 6; the lower end of the valve stem 5 passes through the through hole and the throttling sleeve 4 and extends into the valve seat 3; the auxiliary stuffing chamber is arranged between the bottom of the valve cover 6 and the valve stem 5; the interior of the auxiliary stuffing chamber is sequentially provided with an auxiliary stuffing gland 201, an auxiliary stuffing 202, an auxiliary stuffing pad 203 and an auxiliary spring 204 from bottom to top; the main stuffing chamber is arranged between the valve cover 6 and the valve stem 5 above the auxiliary stuffing chamber; the main stuffing chamber is arranged between the valve cover 6 and the valve stem 5 above the auxiliary stuffing chamber; the main stuffing 8 is arranged in the main stuffing chamber; the pneumatic actuator 11 is arranged above the valve cover 6 and connected to the top of the valve stem 5.
[0028] The pneumatic control valve of this embodiment is improved on the basis of the existing technology. An auxiliary stuffing chamber is provided at the bottom of the valve cover 6, and an auxiliary spring 204, an auxiliary stuffing pad 203, an auxiliary stuffing 202 and an auxiliary stuffing gland 201 are sequentially placed in the auxiliary stuffing chamber to form a group of auxiliary valve stem stuffing; after the auxiliary spring 204 is compressed, it continuously applies thrust to the auxiliary stuffing 202, thereby compensating for the relaxation and failure of the main stuffing 8 caused by the loss of the main stuffing 8 in the original main stuffing chamber; the auxiliary valve stem stuffing provides support and guidance for the valve stem 5, so that the valve stem 5 can be raised and lowered more smoothly, which is beneficial to reducing the diameter of the valve stem 5 and avoiding bending and deformation of the valve stem 5, and is beneficial to effectively reducing the friction of the main stuffing 8; it can meet the sealing of the valve stem 5, increase the number of effective sealing rings of the overall stuffing, and is beneficial to improving the adjustment accuracy of the valve and optimizing the adjustment characteristics of the valve.

[0038] The main packing pad 7, the main packing 8, the main packing pressing sleeve 9 and the packing pressing plate 10 are in contact with each other from bottom to top.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A first metal wound gasket 2 is arranged between the bottom of the valve seat 3 and the valve body 1, and a second metal wound gasket 14 is arranged between the top of the throttle sleeve 4 and the valve body 1; the pneumatic actuator 11 is connected to the top of the valve stem 5 through a connecting block 12; an external thread is arranged on the top of the valve cover 6, and a nut 13 is arranged above the bottom of the pneumatic actuator 11, and the nut is screwed to the top of the valve cover 6.
[0040] The valve stem 5 is configured as a round rod, and the cross sections of the auxiliary stuffing gland 201 , auxiliary stuffing 202 , auxiliary stuffing pad 203 and auxiliary spring 204 as well as the main stuffing pad 7 , main stuffing 8 , main stuffing sleeve 9 and stuffing pressure plate 10 are all configured as circular rings sleeved on the valve stem 5 .
[0041] The pneumatic actuator 11 and the top of the valve stem 5 are connected to the connecting block 12 through bolts respectively.
[0042] The above are merely embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.
