These working conditions often accompany the characteristics of high temperature, high pressure and containing solid powder or particle medium.
[0003] Under high temperature and high pressure conditions, the flow velocity in the throttling area of the valve increases sharply, and the local pressure may be lower than the saturated vapor pressure of the medium, resulting in vaporization of the liquid to form cavitation bubbles. When the bubbles enter the high pressure area with the fluid, they collapse rapidly, producing a transient high pressure shock wave and high speed microjet, which causes serious erosion and corrosion (mechanical erosion: cavitation impact causes fatigue spalling of the metal surface, forming honeycomb-shaped erosion pits; chemical corrosion: cavitation accelerates the penetration and corrosion of corrosive media such as acidic black ash water to the material), seriously affecting the safety and stability of the control valve and its service life.

[0029] In order to make the content of the utility model more easily and clearly understood, the utility model will be further described in detail below according to specific embodiments and in combination with the drawings.
[0030] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an anti-cavitation sleeve for a valve comprises a sleeve 1, and the inner diameter of the sleeve 1 gradually decreases along the flow direction of the medium; wherein,
[0031] The peripheral wall of the sleeve 1 is provided with at least one annular groove 11 which surrounds in the circumferential direction.
[0032] Specifically, the inner diameter of the sleeve 1 gradually decreases along the flow direction of the medium, the annular groove 11 is designed to slightly increase the volume of the medium and slightly reduce the pressure when the medium flows through the annular groove 11, the cavitation bubbles are broken to a certain extent and the corresponding energy is released, thereby playing an anti-cavitation effect, then the medium flows to the flow channel with a reduced inner diameter, the volume of the medium is reduced again, and the cavitation bubbles stop breaking. When a plurality of annular grooves 11 are arranged, the cavitation bubbles can be released and broken multiple times, and the cavitation erosion degree of the medium is gradually reduced, so that the anti-cavitation effect of the anti-cavitation sleeve for the valve is similar to multi-stage pressure reduction, thereby playing a good anti-cavitation effect and improving the safety stability and service life of the control valve.
[0033] The number of the annular grooves 11 is set according to the pressure difference, and the number is preferably greater than or equal to 3.
[0034] More preferably, according to the working principle of multi-stage pressure reduction throttling, the pressure drop of each stage of throttling decreases in geometric progression, that is:
[0035]
[0036] The saturation vapor pressure Pv of the medium (such as water) at the inlet temperature T1 of the control valve is calculated or looked up, and ΔP represents the total pressure drop, and ΔP1=P v , and we have:
[0037]
[0038] The value of m calculated according to the above formula usually has decimal places, so it must be rounded off by using the rounding method to obtain the final minimum pressure reduction stage number n min , and according to the actual process conditions, the actual pressure reduction stage number n≥n min +1.
[0039] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the bottom of the annular groove 11 and each side wall are transitioned with a round corner R1, and the side wall of the annular groove 11 located on the medium outflow side is transitioned with a round corner R2 between the inner wall of the sleeve 1.
[0040] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the inner peripheral wall of the sleeve 1 is conical. The taper angle A of the inner peripheral wall of the sleeve 1 is preferably 4-10°.
[0041] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the number of annular grooves 11 is n, and the sleeve 1 is divided into n+1 inner conical segments 12 by all the annular grooves 11. The length L of the inner conical segment 12 in the axial direction is equal to the width W of the annular groove 11. The depth of the annular groove 11 is slightly greater than the width W of the annular groove 11.
[0042] In this way, the anti-cavitation and erosion resistance of the entire valve anti-cavitation sleeve can be improved.
[0043] Generally, after determining the total size H of the sleeve 1 in the axial direction according to the space, the width W of the annular groove 11 can be calculated according to the formula H=(2*n+1)*W.
[0044] In one specific example, the parameters of the valve anti-cavitation sleeve are as follows:
[0045] W H A R1 R2 D1 12 ~ 40 mm (2*n + 1)W 4°~10° 2 ~ 10 mm 2 ~ 5 mm 2*H*tanA / 2 + D2
[0046] Wherein, R1 is the radius of the round corner R1, R2 is the radius of the round corner R2, D1 is the inner diameter of the large end face of the sleeve 1, and D2 is the inner diameter of the small end face of the sleeve 1.
[0047] As shown in Figure 2 , a control valve comprises a main valve body 2 and the anti-cavitation sleeve for valve in any of the above embodiments; wherein,
[0048] The main valve body 2 has an inlet channel 21 and a valve cavity 22;
[0049] The anti-cavitation sleeve for valve is installed in the main valve body 2, and the channel in the anti-cavitation sleeve forms at least part of the outlet channel 8 of the main valve body 2;
[0050] The inlet channel 21 and the outlet channel 8 are respectively communicated with the valve cavity 22.
[0051] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the control valve further comprises a valve cover 3, a valve core assembly 4, a valve seat 5 and a Venturi sleeve 6; wherein,
[0052] The valve seat 5 is installed in the valve cavity 22;
[0053] The valve cover 3 is installed on the main valve body 2, and the valve core assembly 4 is slidingly installed on the valve cover 3 for blocking and opening the outlet of the valve seat 5;
[0054] The anti-cavitation sleeve for valve and the Venturi sleeve 6 are sequentially spliced along the medium flow direction to jointly form the outlet channel 8 communicated with the outlet of the valve seat 5, and the outlet channel 8 is perpendicular to or close to perpendicular to the inlet channel 21.
[0055] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the valve cavity 22 has a spherical structure, which can make the pressure distribution of the medium on the main valve body 2 more uniform, and the inner wall of the main valve body 2 can be sprayed with a hardening process. The center of the inlet channel 21 is higher than the center of the valve cavity 22 and the upper end surface of the valve seat 5, and the medium entering from the inlet channel 21 points to a slightly higher position of the upper end surface of the valve seat 5. After the medium fills the larger spherical valve cavity 22, it flows out from the smaller space between the valve core assembly and the valve seat 5, which weakens the erosion damage to the inner wall of the main valve body 2. In addition, the inner wall of the main valve body 2 is sprayed with a hardening process, and the service life of the main valve body 2 can reach more than 24 months. In addition, the Venturi sleeve 6 is provided to gradually increase the volume of the medium in the Venturi sleeve 6 and make the cavitation bubbles gradually break along the flow channel, and the uniform distribution of the destruction energy on the entire Venturi cone surface can greatly prolong the service life of the entire machine.
[0056] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , in order to enhance the guiding effect on the valve core assembly 4, the valve cover 3 extends into the valve cavity 22, the extending part has a conical structure, and a spraying hardening process is adopted for protection, which can maximize the volume of the valve cavity 22 and prevent the erosion damage of the medium to the valve cover 3.
[0057] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the control valve further comprises a secondary valve body 7; wherein,
[0058] The auxiliary valve body 7 is installed on the main valve body 2, is sleeved outside the anti-cavitation sleeve and the Venturi sleeve 6, and extends outward beyond the Venturi sleeve 6 along the medium flow direction;
[0059] The auxiliary valve body 7 has a conical inner wall, and the conical angle of the inner wall is greater than the conical angle of the inner wall of the medium outflow end of the Venturi sleeve 6.
[0060] Specifically, after the medium flows out of the Venturi sleeve 6 and enters the auxiliary valve body 7, the inner wall of the auxiliary valve body 7 is a larger-angle conical surface, on the one hand, the volume suddenly increases, the bubbles formed by cavitation in the medium are broken here, and the energy is released far away from the inner wall of the auxiliary valve body 7, and on the other hand, the larger angle of the conical surface prevents the medium sprayed by the Venturi sleeve 6 from being sprayed to the inner conical surface, thereby protecting the inner wall of the auxiliary valve body 7 and greatly prolonging the service life.
[0061] In summary, the entire control valve, the anti-cavitation sleeve, the main valve body 2, the Venturi sleeve 6, and the auxiliary valve body 7 are all designed with anti-cavitation, thereby prolonging the service life of each component and achieving the purpose of prolonging the service life of the entire control valve.
[0062] With the above ideal embodiments of the present application as inspiration, through the above description, relevant personnel can certainly make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical concept of the present application. The technical scope of the present application is not limited to the content in the specification, and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
