[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] In related technologies, valve opening degree refers to the extent to which a valve is opened, also known as the valve's "stroke" or "lift," which refers to the distance or angle by which the valve core or valve plate moves relative to the closed position when the valve is in the open state. Valve opening degree is usually expressed as a percentage, for example, 50% opening degree means the valve is in a half-open state. In some cases, a specific stroke distance or angle may also be used to express the valve opening degree.

[0028] This utility model provides a valve opening display device that can display the valve position status and show abnormal states such as valve not being fully open or not fully closed caused by valve jamming, so as to avoid valve damage caused by excessive forced opening and closing after valve jamming.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a valve opening display device according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the data acquisition mechanism in one embodiment of this application. Figures 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a valve opening display device 1000. The valve opening display device 1000 includes a valve body 100, a data acquisition mechanism 200, a data exchange mechanism 300, and a display mechanism 400. The valve body 100 includes a valve stem 110; when the valve body 100 is fully retracted, the valve body 100 is open; when the valve body 100 is fully extended, the valve body 100 is closed. The data acquisition mechanism 200 is connected to the valve body 100. The data acquisition mechanism 200 acquires the extension length of the valve stem 110 and the axial pressure on the valve stem 110. The data exchange mechanism 300 is connected to the data acquisition mechanism 200. The data exchange mechanism 300 converts the extension length of the valve stem 110 and the axial pressure on the valve stem 110 into a first signal. The display mechanism 400 is electrically connected to the data exchange mechanism 300. The display mechanism 400 receives the first signal and converts it into a second signal based on the first signal.

[0030] According to the valve opening degree display device 1000, the opening and closing state of the valve body 100 is realized by the extension and retraction of the valve stem 110. When the valve stem 110 is completely retracted, the valve body 100 is in an open state; when the valve stem 110 is completely extended, the valve body 100 is in a closed state; when the valve stem 110 cannot be completely extended or retracted, the valve body 100 is in an intermediate state. The data acquisition mechanism 200 is connected with the valve body 100, and is used for monitoring the state of the valve stem 110 in real time. Specifically, the data acquisition mechanism 200 detects the opening degree state of the valve body 100 by acquiring the extension length of the valve stem 110 and the axial pressure borne by the valve stem 110. The data exchange mechanism 300 is connected with the data acquisition mechanism 200, and is responsible for converting the acquired data (the extension length of the valve stem 110 and the axial pressure borne by the valve stem 110) into a first signal. The first signal can be an electrical signal, a digital signal or other suitable signal form for transmission and processing. The display mechanism 400 is electrically connected with the data exchange mechanism 300, and receives the first signal. Then, the display mechanism 400 converts the first signal into a second signal, i.e., user-readable information, according to the content of the first signal. The second signal can be a digital display (such as a percentage opening degree), a graphical display (such as a progress bar) or an audible and light alarm signal (when it is detected that the valve body 100 is in a stuck or abnormal state of non-full opening or non-full closing). Through real-time monitoring and display of the opening degree state of the valve body 100, the operator can more accurately control the opening and closing action of the valve body 100, and avoid damage to the valve body 100 caused by excessive forced opening and closing.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2 some embodiments, the telescopic cylinder 220 further includes a reset member 223. The reset member 223 is arranged between the telescopic rod 221 and the oil cylinder 222. When the telescopic rod 221 is pushed by the thrust force of the valve stem 110 extension, the reset member 223 can restore the telescopic rod 221 to the initial position, so that the telescopic cylinder 220 can always abut against the valve stem 110, and ensure stable control and accurate measurement of the extension length of the valve stem 110. Optionally, the reset member 223 can be a spring or a spring sheet.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 some embodiments, the data acquisition mechanism 200 further includes a positioning plate 240. The positioning plate 240 is arranged in the sleeve 210, and the positioning plate 240 is provided with a through hole. The telescopic rod 221 passes through the through hole, and the telescopic rod 221 is fixedly connected with the positioning plate 240. The plate surface of the positioning plate 240 intersects with the length direction of the sleeve 210.

[0033] It should be noted that the positioning plate 240 is used to ensure the stability of the telescopic rod 221 during the movement of the telescopic rod 221 in the sleeve 210, and to reduce the possibility of radial movement. The position and movement range of the telescopic rod 221 can be accurately controlled, and the accuracy of data acquisition can be improved. It can be understood that the positioning plate 240 is matched with the cross-sectional shape of the sleeve 210, and the stability of the telescopic rod 221 during movement can be ensured. The plate surface of the positioning plate 240 is generally designed according to the cross-sectional shape of the sleeve 210. If the cross section of the sleeve 210 is circular, the plate surface of the positioning plate 240 is also circular. If the cross section of the sleeve 210 is rectangular or other shapes, the shape of the positioning plate 240 should also be adjusted accordingly.

[0034] In the embodiment, when the valve stem 110 drives the telescopic rod 221 to move in the sleeve 210 along the axial direction of the telescopic rod 221 during the telescopic process, the positioning plate 240 can prevent the telescopic rod 221 from moving radially during the movement, thereby maintaining the stable movement of the telescopic rod 221 along the predetermined axial direction.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2 In some embodiments, the data acquisition mechanism 200 further comprises a limiting piece 250. The limiting piece 250 is arranged at one end of the sleeve 210 facing the valve stem 110. The limiting piece 250 is provided with a limiting portion 251 at one end of the extending direction of the limiting piece 250. The limiting portion 251 is arranged in the sleeve 210, and the limiting piece 250 is movably connected with the sleeve 210 along the extending direction of the limiting piece 250. The extending direction of the limiting piece 250 is perpendicular to the length direction of the sleeve 210.

[0036] In the embodiment, when it is necessary to mechanically limit the valve stem 110, the limiting piece 250 can be moved relative to the sleeve 210 along the extending direction of the limiting piece 250, so that the limiting portion 251 of the limiting piece 250 mechanically limits the valve stem 110.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, the limiting portion 251 is in the shape of U. The U-shaped limiting portion 251 can form a close wrapping relationship with the valve stem 110, so as to limit the movement freedom degree of the valve stem 110 along the axial direction of the valve stem 110.

[0038] As shown in Figures 2-3As shown, in some embodiments, the data acquisition mechanism 200 includes a sleeve 210, a telescopic cylinder 220, and a filling assembly 230. The sleeve 210 is connected to the valve body 100. The valve stem 110 is sleeved inside the sleeve 210. The telescopic cylinder 220 is disposed inside the sleeve 210. The telescopic cylinder 220 includes a telescopic rod 221 and a hydraulic cylinder 222 that cooperate with each other. One end of the telescopic rod 221 abuts against the valve stem 110. The filling assembly 230 is disposed inside the sleeve 210. The filling assembly 230 includes a filling chamber 231 and a diaphragm 232. The diaphragm 232 is disposed inside the filling chamber 231. The hydraulic cylinder 222 is fixedly connected to the filling chamber 231, and the filling chamber 231 communicates with the oil chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 222. The data exchange mechanism 300 is connected to the filling assembly 230. The thickness direction of the diaphragm 232 is parallel to the length direction of the sleeve 210.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the valve stem 110 of the valve body 100 is in the retracted state, the valve body 100 is closed, and the diaphragm 232 of the filling assembly 230 is in a balanced state and is not subjected to additional pressure. When the valve body 100 needs to be opened, the valve stem 110 extends. During the extension process, the valve stem 110 will push and move. Since the oil cylinder 222 is connected to the filling chamber 231, the oil pressure in the oil cylinder 222 will also change accordingly, which will change the oil pressure in the filling chamber 231. The diaphragm 232 of the filling chamber 231 will be displaced under the action of oil pressure. The data exchange mechanism 300 can capture the oil pressure change of the filling chamber 231 and the displacement of the diaphragm 232 in real time and convert them into a transmittable first signal form. For example, the data exchange mechanism 300 uses built-in sensors (such as pressure sensors, displacement sensors, etc.) to convert these physical quantities into electrical signals or other transmittable signal forms (i.e., the first signal). Then the data exchange mechanism 300 transmits the first signal to the display mechanism 400. After receiving the signal, the display mechanism 400 decodes and processes it, converting the first signal into user-readable information (i.e., the second signal), such as digital display, graphic display, or audible and visual alarm. This allows operators to intuitively understand the valve's current status and opening degree, improving operational accuracy and safety.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the filling assembly 230 includes a first sub-chamber 231a and a second sub-chamber 231b sequentially disposed along the length of the sleeve 210. A membrane 232 is disposed between the first sub-chamber 231a and the second sub-chamber 231b. The first sub-chamber 231a is connected to the oil chamber, and the second sub-chamber 231b is connected to the data exchange mechanism 300.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first sub-chamber 231a is connected to the oil chamber of the oil cylinder 222, forming a closed hydraulic system. When the oil pressure in the oil cylinder 222 changes, this change will be transmitted to the first sub-chamber 231a, thereby pushing the diaphragm 232 to displace. Due to the isolation effect of the diaphragm 232, the change in oil pressure in the first sub-chamber 231a will push the diaphragm 232 to move towards the second sub-chamber 231b. The data exchange mechanism 300 connected to the second sub-chamber 231b can capture the displacement of the diaphragm 232 and the change in oil pressure of the second sub-chamber 231b. For example, the pressure sensor or displacement conversion device of the data exchange mechanism 300 converts the oil pressure change of the second sub-chamber 231b and the displacement of the diaphragm 232 into a first signal in the form of an electrical signal or other transmittable signal, and transmits the first signal to the display mechanism 400.

[0042] In some embodiments, the data exchange mechanism 300 includes a displacement sensor connected to the diaphragm 232 and a pressure sensor connected to the second sub-chamber 231b.

[0043] In this embodiment, the displacement sensor of the data exchange mechanism converts the displacement of the diaphragm 232 into an electrical signal for output, and the pressure sensor converts the pressure of the liquid in the second sub-chamber 231b into an electrical signal for output, achieving real-time monitoring and data transmission of multiple physical quantities.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first signal is a voltage signal or a current signal, or the first signal is digital protocol information.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second signal includes a full open display signal of the valve body 100, a full closed display signal of the valve body 100, a non-full open display signal of the valve body 100, and a non-full closed display signal of the valve body 100.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the valve body 100 is fully open, the display mechanism 400 of the valve opening display device 1000 generates a full open display signal. When the valve body 100 is fully closed, the display mechanism 400 generates a full closed display signal. When the valve is in a partially open state, the display mechanism 400 generates a non-full open display signal. When the valve body 100 is in a partially closed state, the display mechanism 400 generates a non-full closed display signal. These signals provide intuitive feedback to the operator on the current state of the valve body 100. If the state of the valve body 100 does not match the expectation, these signals can serve as a warning of a malfunction, allowing the operator to discover and solve the problem in a timely manner and prevent potential safety hazards.

[0047] In some embodiments, the valve opening display device 1000 further includes an alarm mechanism electrically connected to the display mechanism 400.

[0048] When the opening degree of the valve body 100 reaches the preset limit value (such as full opening, full closing or a certain specific intermediate position), the display mechanism 400 will receive the corresponding signal and trigger the alarm mechanism. After receiving the trigger signal, the alarm mechanism will immediately start the alarm function, such as sounding, flashing light, etc., to remind the operator to pay attention and take corresponding measures. This helps to prevent safety accidents caused by valve body 100 failure or misoperation, and ensures the smooth progress of the production process.

[0049] Although the utility model has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, various improvements can be made and equivalent parts can be replaced without departing from the scope of the utility model. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any way. The utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
