[0029] For example, Figures 1-5 ​The utility model provides a kind of gas well valve with prevent pressure mutation function, including valve body 1, valve body 1 inside is equipped with valve cavity 2, valve cavity 2 is equipped with valve stem 3, valve stem 3 bottom is connected with valve core 4, the top of valve body 1 is installed motor 5 of driving valve stem 3 rotation, pressure sensor 6 is installed on valve core 4, the surface of motor 5 is equipped with controller 7 with pressure sensor 6 cooperation and control motor 5 operation, to adjust the angle of valve core 4 according to pressure condition, controller 7 includes power supply, controller and actuator.

[0030] In the normal operation process of gas well valve, pressure sensor 6 installed on valve core 4 will continue to monitor the surrounding gas pressure.Pressure sensor 6 can acutely perceive the subtle change of gas pressure near the position of valve core 4, and transmit these pressure signals to the controller in controller device 7 in real time, when pressure mutation occurs in gas well, such as pressure rises or drops, pressure sensor 6 will quickly detect this abnormal pressure change, and immediately transmit the corresponding pressure signal to the controller, the controller receives the signal from pressure sensor 6, will analyze and process these signals based on its built-in preset program and algorithm, the controller determines that pressure mutation has occurred according to the pre-set pressure threshold range and the current received pressure signal value, then, the controller generates corresponding control instruction according to the established control logic, and sends the control instruction to the actuator, the actuator will drive motor 5 to start running according to the instruction requirement after receiving the control instruction from the controller. Motor 5 starts to rotate after receiving the driving signal of actuator, the rotation of motor 5 drives valve stem 3 to rotate through suitable transmission mechanism, with the rotation of valve stem 3, valve core 4 will also rotate accordingly, since the control instruction issued by the controller is based on the accurate judgment of pressure mutation and the preset coping strategy, so the angle of valve stem 3 driving valve core 4 to rotate is accurately calculated and set, which can make the angle of valve core 4 in valve cavity 2 just right, and then realize the effective regulation of gas flow to cope with the situation of pressure mutation in gas well.

[0031] And, the top of motor 5 is installed buzzer 10, which is connected with the controller of controller device 7 through signal line, when the controller determines that pressure mutation occurs, it will also send a trigger signal to buzzer 10 through the signal line connected with buzzer 10.

[0032] Specifically, when the actuator receives the control instruction issued by the controller, it will drive motor 5 to start running according to the instruction requirement.After the actuator completes the action of driving motor 5 to run, the actuator will send an action completion feedback signal to the controller.

[0033] When the controller receives the feedback signal of the completion of the actuator action, it will again confirm that it is currently in the state of pressure mutation (because it has been determined that the pressure mutation has occurred and the relevant control instructions have been issued), and then based on this, it will formally drive the buzzer 10 to issue a sound alarm to remind the relevant staff of the current situation.

[0034] For example, when the pressure suddenly rises, the controller analyzes the high pressure signal from the pressure sensor 6 and determines that the gas flow needs to be reduced to alleviate the high pressure impact that the pipeline system may bear, and then issues corresponding control instructions to the actuator. The actuator drives the motor 5 to rotate the valve stem 3, causing the valve core 4 to rotate to an angle that can reduce the flow area of the valve cavity 2, thereby reducing the gas flow. At the same time, the controller is ready to trigger the buzzer 10 to sound after determining that the pressure has suddenly risen. After the actuator drive motor 5 action is completed and feedback is received, the buzzer 10 is formally driven to issue a continuous or specific frequency alarm sound, reminding the operator that the gas well has a severe situation of pressure surge and needs to be addressed in a timely manner.

[0035] Similarly, when the pressure suddenly drops, the controller makes a judgment based on the low pressure signal from the pressure sensor 6 and issues instructions to the actuator to drive the motor 5 to rotate the valve stem 3, causing the valve core 4 to rotate to an angle that can appropriately increase the flow area of the valve cavity 2, preventing problems such as abnormal backflow of fluid in the gas well. And after determining that the pressure has suddenly dropped and the actuator has completed the motor 5 action and feedback, the controller will also drive the buzzer 10 to issue a corresponding alarm sound to inform the operator that the gas well has a pressure drop situation, so that appropriate measures can be taken.

[0036] The motor 5 and the controller 7 and transmission assembly thereon, when connected with the valve body 1 (generally through a flange and bolts), need to be aligned (flange alignment), and then the installer needs to hold the stable position while performing the fixing operation (through bolts), which is relatively troublesome.

[0037] To this end, the utility model discloses between valve body 1 and motor 5 installs auxiliary positioning assembly 8, and auxiliary positioning assembly 8 includes the flange plate both sides of the limiting groove seat 801 fixed on valve body 1, and the bottom both sides of motor 5 are fixed with the plug -in block 802 through vertical rod 807, and the side end of plug -in block 802 all is set up recess 803, and the side end of limiting groove seat 801 all is set up the through groove 804 when the plug -in block 802 inserts into limiting groove seat 801 with recess 803 flush, and the both sides of limiting groove seat 801 all are installed with the elastic component 806 that drive lug 805 passes through through groove 804 in proper order and inserts into recess 803, and elastic component 806 includes the connecting shell 8061 fixed on the both sides of limiting groove seat 801, and both sides in the inside of connecting shell 8061 are all fixedly connected with the guide rail 8062 for the sliding block 8063 sliding, and the sliding block 8063 are fixedly connected with the connecting plate 8064, and the inner surface of connecting shell 8061 and the back of connecting plate 8064 are installed with spring 8065, and the surface of connecting plate 8064 is fixed with moving plate 8067 through cross rod 8066, and lug 805 is fixed on the back of moving plate 8067, and the surface fixedly connected with handle 9 that is convenient for its pulling of moving plate 8067.

[0038] When installing, the moving plate 8067 is moved to the direction away from the limiting groove seat 801 through the handle 9, so that the lug 805 is pulled out (passes through the through groove 804) from the limiting groove seat 801, then the plug-in block 802 on the motor 5 is inserted into the plug-in groove seat on the valve body 1, in this process, the moving plate 8067 drives the movement of the connecting plate 8064 through the cross rod 8066, the connecting plate 8064 drives the movement of the sliding block 8063, the sliding block 8063 slides along the guide rail 8062 to maintain the execution movement of the connecting plate 8064, and the spring 8065 is lengthened, after insertion, the handle 9 is released, the spring 8065 starts to reverse elongation by its elastic force, so as to reset the moving plate 8067 and the lug 805, the lug 805 passes through the through groove 804 on the limiting groove seat 801 in turn and is inserted into the recess 803 on the plug-in block 802, so that the plug-in block 802 can be fixed in the limiting groove seat 801, and the motor 5 and the valve body 1 are limited, at this time, the flange plates on the two parts are tightly attached to each other, so that the installation of the bolt can be carried out, without the need for staff to hold, more convenient operation, and the auxiliary positioning assembly 8 can also assist the traditional fixing structure to carry out double fixing, so that the motor 5 and the valve body 1 are connected more firmly.
