Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air valves, in particular to an integrated anti-water hammer air valve. Background Art

[0002] Air valves are widely installed vertically in various water pipelines, providing safety protection and energy conservation. They are critical equipment on these pipelines. If air valves fail to function properly, the pipelines may experience problems such as air blockage, pipe bursts, negative pressure, or even equipment damage caused by water hammer. These problems can severely impact normal water supply, reduce water supply efficiency, and even completely paralyze the entire system. Domestic and international research on this issue has consistently concluded that air valves are the key to solving this problem, and that properly installing air valves in pipelines can solve it.

[0003] Choose different types of air valves based on the functional requirements of the water pipeline. Currently, air valves on water pipelines can be divided into five main categories based on their functions: micro-exhaust valves, inlet and exhaust valves, compound inlet and exhaust valves, anti-water hammer air valves, and vacuum air supply valves. Anti-water hammer air valves consist of inlet and exhaust valves, micro-exhaust valves, and anti-water hammer buffer devices. They typically have two structural types: split-body and integrated. Split-body micro-exhaust valves are installed on the outside of the valve body, while integrated micro-exhaust valves are built-in. Integrated structures are smaller and lighter than split-body structures. However, current integrated anti-water hammer air valves are relatively complex. Utility Model Content

[0045] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by this application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides an integrated anti-water hammer type air valve, including a valve body 1 and a valve cover 3 on the top of the valve body 1, the valve cover 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve body 1 by bolts, and a flow limiting mechanism 4 is provided on the valve cover 3, which can control the exhaust speed according to the exhaust pressure difference, that is, when the air pressure in the pipeline is large, the flow limiting mechanism 4 will limit the exhaust speed of the air in the pipeline to prevent water hammer; an inner support 12 is provided in the valve body 1, and the inner support 12 and the valve body 1 are integrally cast, and a hole is opened in the middle of the inner support 12, and a float 2 is provided on the inner support 12, and the float 2 can float up and down along the axis of the valve body 1 with the water level, and the float 2 can be made of PP (polypropylene), and the float 2 includes an upper float 21 and a lower float 22, and a boss 211 is provided on the side opposite to the upper float 21 and the lower float 22, and the boss 211 is coaxially arranged with the upper float 21, and the upper float 2 1 is provided with an exhaust hole 212, one end of the exhaust hole 212 extends to the boss 211, and a groove 221 is provided on the side of the lower float 22 opposite to the upper float 21. The groove 221 is coaxially arranged with the lower float 22, and a through air inlet hole 222 is provided in the lower float 22, one end of the air inlet hole 222 extends to the groove 221. When the upper float 21 and the lower float 22 are completely fitted together, the lower end of the boss 211 rests on the groove 221, and the exhaust hole 212 is blocked by the groove 221. When the upper float 21 and the lower float 22 are separated, the air inlet hole 222 is connected with the exhaust hole 212 through the groove 221. A large inlet and exhaust port 13 is provided on the top of the valve body 1, and a sealing ring 14 is provided on the large inlet and exhaust port 13. The sealing ring 14 is fixedly pressed on the top of the valve body 1 by the valve cover 3. The sealing ring 14 is used to cooperate with the upper float 21 to seal the large inlet and exhaust port 13.

[0047] It can be understood that the utility model provides an inner support 12, so that when the pipeline is normally filled with water, the inner support 12 can support the float 2, and the air in the pipeline can bypass the float 2 and be discharged smoothly from the valve cover 3; by providing a flow limiting mechanism 4, when the air pressure in the pipeline is too high, the discharge speed of the air in the pipeline is limited to avoid water hammer; by providing a sealing ring 14, after the pipeline is filled with water, the float 2 can be pressed against the sealing ring 14 under the action of buoyancy to seal the valve body 1; by setting the float 2 as an upper float 21 and a lower float 22, after the air is precipitated in the water, the lower float 22 is separated from the upper float 21 under the action of gravity, so that the exhaust hole 212 is opened, and the air can be discharged from the exhaust hole 212 through the air inlet hole 222.

[0048] In some embodiments, the boss 211 and the groove 221 are both cylindrical, the air inlet 222 and the air outlet 212 are both opened parallel to the axial direction of the valve body 1 , and the air inlet 222 and the lower float 22 are arranged staggered.

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figure 2As shown, a plurality of guide ribs 11 are integrally provided on the inner wall of the valve body 1 , and the float 2 can move up and down along the guide ribs 11 , so that the float 2 can accurately reach the designed position when moving up and down, ensuring that the large inlet and outlet ports 13 are smoothly sealed.

[0050] To prevent air pockets from forming in the air inlet 222, in some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the lower float 22 is provided with an additional air inlet hole 223 , which is arranged horizontally, that is, perpendicular to the axis of the lower float 22 . One end of the additional air inlet hole 223 extends to the outer surface of the lower float 22 , and the other end of the additional air inlet hole 223 is connected to the air inlet hole 222 .

[0051] It is understandable that by providing an additional air inlet hole 223 on the lower float 22, the air inlet hole 222 can be connected to the air outside the lower float 22 through the additional air inlet hole 223, which can avoid the formation of a high-pressure air bag in the air inlet hole 222 and avoid a large impact force when the pressure fluctuates.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 、 6 As shown in FIG8 , a sealing plug mounting hole 224 is provided at the bottom of the groove 221 , a sealing plug 225 is installed in the sealing plug mounting hole 224 , the sealing plug 225 is used to block the exhaust hole 212 , a bottom hole 226 is provided at the bottom of the sealing plug mounting hole 224 , and the bottom hole 226 is communicated with the air inlet hole 222 .

[0053] It can be understood that by opening a sealing plug mounting hole 224 in the groove 221 and installing a sealing plug 225 in the sealing plug mounting hole 224, the sealing effect is better when the sealing plug 225 is in contact with the exhaust hole 212. By setting a bottom hole 226 at the bottom of the sealing plug mounting hole 224, the bottom hole 226 is connected to the air inlet hole 222, so that when the sealing plug 225 is installed in the sealing plug mounting hole 224, the air in the sealing plug mounting hole 224 can be discharged through the bottom hole 226, which makes installation convenient and makes the sealing plug 225 not easy to fall off.

[0054] Furthermore, a plurality of sealing grooves 227 are provided on the hole wall of the sealing plug mounting hole 224, and the sealing grooves 227 are in close contact with the sealing plug 225. By providing a plurality of sealing grooves 227 in the sealing plug mounting hole 224, the sealing performance of the sealing plug 225 is ensured.

[0055] Furthermore, the sealing groove 227 is in an inverted cone shape, which can further improve the sealing performance of the sealing plug 225.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, a lower connecting hole 228 is provided in the lower float 22. Figure 4 As shown, an upper connecting hole 213 is provided in the upper float 21. Figure 3As shown, a connecting rod 23 is provided in the lower connecting hole 228, one end of the connecting rod 23 is threadedly connected to the upper connecting hole 213, and the other end of the connecting rod 23 extends out of the lower connecting hole 228 and is provided with a limiting ring 231. The diameter of the limiting ring 231 is larger than the diameter of the lower connecting hole 228, and the lower float 22 can slide axially along the connecting rod 23. When the upper float 21 and the lower float 22 are completely fitted, there is a gap between the limiting ring 231 and the lower hole opening of the lower connecting hole 228.

[0057] It can be understood that the upper float 21 and the lower float 22 are connected by the connecting rod 23, so that after the upper float 21 and the lower float 22 are connected, the guide length of the upper float 21 and the lower float 22 becomes longer, the guiding performance is better, and the up and down movements are not easily blocked, ensuring that the float 2 can be raised and lowered flexibly during operation, and the phenomenon of tilting and blocking of the upper float 21 and the lower float 22 can be avoided; in addition, by arranging a limit ring 231 on the connecting rod 23, the relative separation between the upper float 21 and the lower float 22 can be limited, thereby avoiding complete separation of the boss 211 and the groove 221.

[0058] It should be noted that a baffle can be integrally provided at the lower end of the connecting rod 23, and a limiting ring 231 is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 23. The limiting ring 231 can be adjusted between the baffle and the lower opening of the lower connecting hole 228, thereby adjusting the maximum separation distance between the upper float 21 and the lower float 22.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 、 10 The upper end surface of the upper float 21 is conical, and multiple rings of sealing bodies 141 are set inside the sealing ring 14. The multiple rings of sealing bodies 141 are arranged axially along the valve body 1. The closer to the valve cover 3, the smaller the inner diameter of the sealing body 141. The sealing body 141 is used for linear sealing with the upper float 21. The upper float 21 and the sealing ring 14 adopt linear sealing, which has better sealing performance.

[0060] Preferably, the inner wall of the valve cover 3 near the lower end is tapered, so that the upper end surface of the upper float 21 can be tightly pressed against the inner wall of the valve cover 3 .

[0061] It is understandable that when subjected to high pressure, the sealing surface of the upper float 21 will contact the sealing ring 14 of the large inlet and exhaust port 13 and the valve cover 3 at the same time. At this time, the valve cover 3 is under pressure, and the compression of the sealing ring 14 is small, which will not damage the sealing ring 14 and can effectively avoid sealing failure caused by excessive compression of the sealing ring 14.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the lower end surface of the lower float 22 is an inverted conical surface, and a plurality of float holes 229 are provided on the lower end surface of the lower float 22 , and the float holes 229 are blind holes.

[0063] It is understandable that, since the float hole 229 is a blind hole, when water enters the valve body 1 , the float hole 229 will not be completely filled with water, and some air will remain at the upper end of the float hole 229 , thereby increasing the buoyancy of the lower float 22 .

[0064] Likewise, the inner support 12 is in an inverted cone shape, and the lower end surface of the lower float 22 can cooperate with the inner support 12 .

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the flow limiting mechanism 4 includes a buffer box 41, an exhaust window 411 is provided on the top of the buffer box 41, a protective cover 42 is fixedly provided on the top of the buffer box 41, a guide shaft 43 is provided on the protective cover 42, a flow limiting plate 44 is slidably provided on the guide shaft 43, a flow limiting hole 441 is provided on the flow limiting plate 44, and the flow limiting plate 44 is fitted with or separated from the exhaust window 411 according to the exhaust pressure difference, thereby achieving flow limiting.

[0066] The working principle of this integrated anti-water hammer air valve is:

[0067] 1. When the pipeline is normally filled with water, the anti-water hammer air valve will normally exhaust a large amount of air:

[0068] like Figure 11 As shown, when the pipeline is normally filled with water, the valve body 1 is not yet filled with water, and the float 2 is supported by the inner support 12. At this time, the flow rate of water in the pipeline generally does not exceed 0.3-0.5m / s, and the exhaust pressure difference does not exceed 5KPa (the pressure difference can be defined according to the working conditions). During the exhaust process, the flow restrictor 44 will not close, and the valve is fully opened for rapid low-pressure exhaust.

[0069] 2. The pipe is filled with water, the air in the pipe is exhausted, and the large and small inlet and exhaust ports are closed:

[0070] like Figure 12 As shown, after the air in the pipe is exhausted, water enters the valve body 1, causing the float 2 to rise. When the upper float 21 rises, it contacts the sealing ring 14 of the large inlet and outlet port 13 and the valve cover 3, thereby sealing the large inlet and outlet port 13. The exhaust hole 212 of the upper float 21 contacts the sealing plug 225 of the lower float 22, thereby sealing the exhaust hole 212.

[0071] 3. During the water delivery process, the air released from the water is discharged through the exhaust hole 212:

[0072] like Figure 13 、 14As shown, during normal water delivery in the pipeline, a small amount of gas released from the water will accumulate in the upper portion of the inner cavity of the valve body 1, gradually replacing the existing water in the inner cavity. When the gas accumulates to a certain amount, the lower float 22 will lose its buoyancy and descend under the action of gravity. The vent 212 of the upper float 21 disengages from the sealing plug 225 of the lower float 22, and the air released from the water is discharged through the vent 212. The inner cavity of the valve body 1 is under a sustained pressure state. Under the action of pressure, the upper float 21 maintains a seal with the sealing ring 14 and the valve cover 3, and the upper float 21 does not fall. During the air discharge process, the water level gradually rises, the lower float 22 floats upward, reseals the vent 212, and the exhaust stops. This cycle continues, and no air pockets are formed in the pipeline.

[0073] 4. When negative pressure occurs in the pipeline, add a large amount of air to eliminate the negative pressure:

[0074] like Figure 15 As shown, when the water pump stops, the driving force of the pipeline (the pressure of the water pump) disappears, and the water column in the pipeline flows under its own inertia. Due to the different elevations of the pipeline, the flow rate decreases rapidly at the rising part of the pipeline, while the flow rate decreases slowly or does not decrease at the flat or descending part of the pipeline. Therefore, at the inflection points where the pipeline trends change, negative pressure is formed due to the difference in water column flow rate. When the negative pressure is large, vacuum water column separation is formed. At this time, the anti-water hammer air valve at the inflection point opens quickly under the action of negative pressure (the upper float 21 and the small float 2 fall quickly), and a large amount of air quickly enters the pipeline to balance the pressure difference in the pipeline, avoiding the formation of a large negative pressure to damage the pipeline.

[0075] Or when the water in the pipe needs to be drained during pipeline maintenance, negative pressure is generated. Air is sucked in through the anti-water hammer air valve to avoid negative pressure.

[0076] 5. When the air supply state is converted to the exhaust state and the exhaust pressure difference is less than 5KPa (the pressure difference can be defined according to the working conditions), the flow restriction plate 44 is not closed during the large amount of exhaust:

[0077] When the water column in the pipeline is broken due to reasons such as pump stop, air will be quickly added to avoid negative pressure in the pipeline. When the separated water column begins to flow back under the action of negative pressure and gravity, the pressure difference in the waterproof hammer air valve changes from negative pressure to positive pressure, that is, the air supply state changes to the exhaust state. Figure 16 shown.

[0078] 6. When the exhaust pressure difference exceeds the set value of 5KPa (the pressure difference can be defined according to the working conditions), the flow limiter 44 in the anti-water hammer buffer device will be closed during the exhaust process. Figure 17 As shown, the exhaust speed is limited by the flow limiting plate 44, thereby reducing the flow rate of water in the pipeline and avoiding the generation of water hammer.

[0079] When the exhaust pressure difference exceeds 5KPa (the pressure difference can be defined according to the working conditions), the flow limiting mechanism 4 starts to work and limits the exhaust flow. The flow rate in the flow limiting state is 5%-10% of the flow rate in the non-flow limiting state with the same pressure difference (which can be defined according to the working conditions). The inhaled air is slowly discharged, and the air bag in the pipeline is used to effectively buffer the instantaneous pressure increase caused by the water column bridging type, thereby preventing water hammer.

[0080] In a deep well pump room, the long water intake pipe is filled with air. When water is pumped into the pipe quickly, if the air in the pipe is discharged at high speed through the air valve, the water in the pipe will hit the valve or pipe at high speed, causing a severe water hammer. The flow limiting mechanism 4 can effectively reduce the speed of air discharge, thereby reducing pressure fluctuations in the system and preventing water hammer from damaging equipment and pipes.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
