TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hot blast stove mixed air flow control, and particularly relates to a special flow valve for hot blast stove mixed air. BACKGROUND
[0002] For traditional ironmaking processes mainly using raw materials such as iron ore and coal, the smaller the wind temperature fluctuation during ironmaking, the better the furnace condition, and the more conducive to production. Therefore, the high hot blast delivered by the hot blast stove needs to be temperature-regulated, that is, a certain proportion of cold blast is delivered to the high hot blast pipeline, and the hot blast temperature flowing into the blast furnace is controlled, which is usually referred to as mixed air temperature regulation.
[0003] At present, the mixed air of traditional ironmaking processes at home and abroad is regulated by butterfly valves. Such valves generally realize flow regulation by rotating a circular disc to partially block the cross-sectional area of the pipeline. However, under the special working conditions of hot blast stoves, there are obvious deficiencies. In particular, during fine adjustment at a small angle, a series of problems such as serious cavitation damage to the service life of hardware facilities may be caused. At the same time, due to the limitations of structural design, the overall adjustable range is narrow (typically only about 20° to 70°), and the effective regulation efficiency is almost lost beyond this range. In addition, under certain working conditions, severe vibration may also occur, which greatly restricts the ability of the existing technology to meet more complex needs. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of mixed air special flow valve to overcome the current limitations. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a special flow valve for hot blast stove mixed air.
[0005] The special flow valve for hot blast stove mixed air provided by the present application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0006] A special flow valve for hot blast stove mixed air, comprising a valve body, a piston slidingly connected to the valve body, and a drive assembly for controlling the piston to reciprocally slide along the axial direction of the valve body, wherein the end face of the piston facing the wind is provided with a flow-through cavity for air inflow, the outer peripheral wall of the piston is provided with a plurality of flow-through holes communicating with the flow-through cavity and the inner cavity of the valve body, and the inner peripheral wall of the valve body is provided with a second abutting portion for abutting against the outer peripheral wall of the piston.
[0007] By adopting the technical scheme, the relative position between the piston and the second abutting portion is adjusted by the driving assembly, so that the plurality of flow-through holes on the outer peripheral wall of the piston can be gradually opened or closed along with the sliding of the piston in the valve body, thereby realizing gradual regulation of the air volume flowing through the valve. This design enables the valve to accurately control the flow within a large range, avoiding the problem of limited regulation range of the traditional butterfly valve. At the same time, compared with the cavitation, erosion and vibration problems that may occur when the butterfly valve is adjusted at a small angle, the structure utilizes the cooperation of the piston and the second abutting portion to ensure the stability and reliability of the adjustment process, improve the accuracy and stability of the mixed air temperature regulation, and thus optimize the working efficiency and service life of the hot blast furnace.
[0008] Preferably, the flow-through hole is a circular hole.
[0009] By adopting the technical scheme, the flow-through hole is set as a circular hole, which can ensure that the fluid flows more smoothly when passing through the flow-through hole, reduce the occurrence of turbulence, and thus improve the accuracy of flow control. Specifically, this design helps to reduce the noise and vibration generated when the fluid passes through, while avoiding the problem of local stress concentration that may be caused by irregularly shaped holes, thereby prolonging the service life of the valve.
[0010] Preferably, the second abutting portion includes a mounting ring fixedly connected to the inner peripheral wall of the valve body and a second abutting ring arranged on the mounting ring away from the inner peripheral wall of the valve body, the thickness of the second abutting ring is greater than the thickness of the mounting ring, and the end faces of the second abutting ring and the mounting ring away from the cavity opening of the flow-through cavity are flushly arranged.
[0011] By adopting the technical scheme, when the second abutting portion abuts on the middle part of the piston, the flow-through holes located on both sides of the second abutting portion may have wind flowing into the flow-through cavity from the flow-through holes on the windward side, which may collide with the wind flowing from the flow-through cavity, thereby affecting the flow rate and flow direction of the wind. To this end, by specifically arranging the second abutting portion as the mounting ring and the second abutting ring, since the thickness of the second abutting ring is greater than the thickness of the mounting ring, and the end faces of the second abutting ring and the mounting ring away from the cavity opening of the flow-through cavity are flushly arranged, the cross section of the second abutting ring and the mounting ring along the axial direction of the valve body is arranged in an L shape, and the end face close to the wind inlet of the second abutting portion can form a certain space, thereby reducing the possibility of relatively more wind flowing into the flow-through cavity from the flow-through holes, reducing the occurrence of collision phenomenon, and further reducing the influence on the flow rate of the wind.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the piston close to the cavity opening of the flow-through cavity is provided with a first abutting portion for abutting with the second abutting portion.
[0013] By adopting the technical scheme, the first abutting part is arranged around one end of the piston close to the cavity opening of the flow-through cavity, which can cooperate with the second abutting part to accurately limit the position of the piston, thereby effectively controlling the sliding range of the piston. This structure ensures that the opening or closing of the flow-through hole is more accurate, thereby realizing fine regulation and control of the flow rate of the mixed air flow. At the same time, this position limiting manner improves the stability and reliability of the valve operation, avoiding the problem of flow rate out of control caused by excessive movement of the piston.
[0014] Preferably, one end of the piston away from the first abutting part is arranged with a first limiting part, and the first limiting part is used for abutting against the end face of the second abutting part.
[0015] By adopting the technical scheme, the first limiting part is arranged, and the first limiting part abuts against the end face of the second abutting part, so that when the first limiting part abuts against the second abutting part, the flow valve is in a fully closed state, thereby improving the sealing effect between the valve body and the piston, reducing the possibility of leakage of the input air. In addition, the path of the piston driven by the driving assembly can be limited, thereby reducing the possibility of sliding and separating between the piston and the second abutting part, and the possibility of air leakage.
[0016] Preferably, the first limiting part is arranged with a sealing ring close to the end face of the second abutting part.
[0017] By adopting the technical scheme, the sealing ring is arranged to further improve the sealing effect between the second abutting part and the piston in the fully closed state.
[0018] Preferably, one end of the piston close to the first abutting part is arranged with a second limiting part, and the second limiting part is used for abutting against the end face of the second abutting part away from the first limiting part.
[0019] By adopting the technical scheme, the second limiting part is arranged, and it is used for abutting against the second abutting part in cooperation with the first limiting part, thereby limiting the movement range of the piston, thereby reducing the possibility of sliding and separating of the piston from the valve body.
[0020] Preferably, the piston sequentially includes a mounting area and a flow-through area along the axial direction, the driving assembly is mounted on the mounting area, the flow-through hole is arranged in the flow-through area, and the thickness of the second abutting part is greater than the width of the flow-through area.
[0021] By adopting the technical scheme, the second abutting portion is arranged, and a space is left between the piston and the inner wall of the valve body, if the width of the second abutting portion is smaller than the width of the flow-through area, wind can flow into the flow-through cavity from the flow-through hole on the windward side, and the possibility of the wind colliding with the wind flowing from the flow-through cavity is caused, so as to affect the flow rate and the flow direction of the wind.
[0022] Preferably, the driving assembly comprises a hinged rod hinged to the piston, a crank hinged to the hinged rod, a rotating shaft penetrating through the crank, and a driving member driving the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft is rotationally connected to the valve body.
[0023] By adopting the technical scheme, the driving member is started, and the rotating shaft, the crank and the hinged rod are sequentially driven to move, the rotating movement of the rotating shaft drives the piston to move linearly, specifically, the rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the driving member, the crank is driven to rotate, and the hinged rod drives or pulls the piston to move along the axial direction of the valve body. This structure can accurately adjust the position of the piston, so as to change the opening number of the flow-through hole and realize fine control of the flow rate. Compared with the traditional butterfly valve adjustment mode, this design avoids the problems of cavitation, erosion and vibration that may occur during small-angle adjustment, expands the adjustment range, and improves the stability and accuracy of the mixed air temperature adjustment.
[0024] Preferably, the driving assembly comprises an electric push rod arranged in the valve body, and an output shaft of the electric push rod is fixedly connected with the piston.
[0025] By adopting the technical scheme, the electric push rod is used to directly drive the piston to move linearly. Compared with the traditional crank transmission structure, this design simplifies the transmission mechanism, reduces the matching error between parts, and improves the accuracy and stability of the movement. At the same time, the electric push rod is arranged in the valve body, which effectively saves the external space and improves the compactness of the whole device. In addition, the fixed connection between the electric push rod and the piston ensures the efficiency and reliability in the force transmission process, further enhances the accuracy of the flow-through hole opening control, and better meets the demand of mixed air temperature adjustment.
[0026] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1、According to the driving assembly to adjust the relative position between the piston and the second abutting part, so that the plurality of flow-through holes on the outer peripheral wall of the piston can be gradually opened or closed with the sliding of the piston in the valve body, thereby realizing the gradual regulation of the air flow through the valve. This design enables the valve to accurately control the flow within a wide range, avoiding the problem of limited adjustment range of traditional butterfly valves. At the same time, compared with the cavitation, erosion and vibration problems that may occur when the butterfly valve is adjusted at a small angle, the structure utilizes the cooperation of the piston and the second abutting part to ensure the stability and reliability of the adjustment process, improve the accuracy and stability of the mixed air temperature regulation, and thus optimize the working efficiency and service life of the hot blast furnace.
[0028] 2、The flow-through hole is set as a circular hole, which can ensure that the fluid flows more smoothly when passing through the flow-through hole, reduce the occurrence of turbulence, and thus improve the accuracy of flow control. Specifically, this design helps to reduce noise and vibration generated when the fluid passes through, while avoiding the problem of local stress concentration that may be caused by irregularly shaped holes, prolonging the service life of the valve.
