[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] like Figs. 1 to 6 As shown: A double-layer silencer valve cage, comprising:

[0028] The inner valve cage 1 is provided with a number of first silencer holes 11 arranged in a first pattern.

[0029] The outer valve cage 2 is sleeved outside the inner valve cage 1 and fixedly connected to the inner valve cage 1. The outer valve cage 2 is provided with a number of second silencer holes 21 arranged in a second pattern.

[0030] The inner valve cage 1 and the outer valve cage 2 are coaxially arranged.

[0031] The inner valve cage 1 initially disperses the pressure waves and noise of the fluid through several first silencing holes 11 arranged in a first pattern. The outer valve cage 2 further absorbs and scatters the residual noise generated by the inner fluid through second silencing holes 21. The inner and outer valve cages 2 are coaxially arranged, which can reduce the additional flow resistance when the fluid passes through different layers, while ensuring the continuity of the flow channel. The first silencing holes 11 and the second silencing holes 21 can be designed with different arrangements according to the target noise spectrum, thereby further reducing the superposition of noise by utilizing frequency mismatch. The double-layer silencing valve cage design, through the differentiated arrangement and optimization of the inner and outer silencing holes, can effectively reduce the noise of the regulating valve under high pressure differential and high flow conditions, and ensure that the noise level does not exceed 85 decibels, meeting the needs of specific applications.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inner valve cage 1 is provided with an annular stepped surface 12 at one end of the axial direction, and the outer valve cage 2 is provided with a groove 22. The groove 22 and the annular stepped surface 12 cooperate with each other to limit one end of the outer valve cage 2 in the axial direction. The inner valve cage 1 and the outer valve cage 2 are fixedly connected at the other end away from the annular stepped surface 12.

[0033] The inner valve cage 1 is provided with an annular stepped surface 12 at one end in the axial direction, and the outer valve cage 2 is correspondingly provided with a groove 22, and the cooperation of the two is used for limiting. The inner valve cage 1 and the outer valve cage 2 are fixedly connected at the other end away from the annular stepped surface 12. This connection point provides stability for the inner and outer valve cages 2, ensuring that the two parts do not rotate or shift relative to each other during the entire working process.

[0034] In this embodiment, the outer valve cage 2 is provided with an annular protrusion 23 at the other end away from the annular stepped surface 12, and the annular protrusion 23 is located at the inner diameter of the outer valve cage 2. The inner valve cage 1 is correspondingly provided with an annular clearance structure 13, and the inner valve cage 1 and the outer valve cage 2 are welded and fixed through the annular protrusion 23 and the annular clearance structure 13.

[0035] The annular protrusion 23 ensures the firm combination of the outer valve cage 2 and the inner valve cage 1 in the radial direction, avoiding relative movement of the two due to fluid impact and vibration. It provides an additional mechanical support point, increasing the contact area between the inner and outer valve cages 2, thereby increasing the connection strength. Since the outer valve cage 2 and the inner valve cage 1 are welded by the cooperation of the annular protrusion 23 and the annular clearance structure 13, the connection strength is significantly improved. This can effectively withstand the pressure generated by the control valve under high pressure difference and large flow conditions.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the welding position of the annular protrusion 23 and the annular clearance structure 13 is located inside the outer valve cage 2.

[0037] Setting the welding position inside the outer valve cage 2 means that the welding joint is located outside the fluid flow path, rather than directly in the airflow path. This design helps to avoid direct impact of high-pressure fluid on the welding joint area, thereby improving the durability of the welding joint. The inside welding position reduces the direct wear of the welding joint by high-speed airflow, prolonging the service life of the welding point.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inner valve cage 1 is provided with positioning holes 14 on the outer wall, and the outer valve cage 2 is correspondingly provided with through holes 24 and positioning pins. The positioning pins and the positioning holes 14 cooperate with each other to circumferentially position the inner valve cage 1 and the outer valve cage 2.

[0039] The positioning holes 14 provided on the outer wall of the inner valve cage 1 provide an accurate positioning reference for the outer valve cage 2. These positioning holes 14 can be precisely machined to ensure consistent positioning, avoiding deviations during assembly and ensuring that the relative position between the inner and outer valve cages 2 is always consistent. Through the cooperation of the positioning pins and the positioning holes 14, the inner and outer valve cages 2 are circumferentially positioned. This design helps to ensure the stability of the overall position of the two valve cages after assembly, avoiding structural instability caused by relative rotation or displacement.

[0040] In this embodiment, the number of first sound attenuation holes 11 is less than the number of second sound attenuation holes 21.

[0041] By making the number of first sound attenuation holes 11 of the inner valve cage 1 less than the number of second sound attenuation holes 21 of the outer valve cage 2, this design can effectively control the sound attenuation effect of different layers. The design of a larger number of second sound attenuation holes 21 can help provide a larger fluid passage, thereby better reducing the pressure fluctuation and noise of the airflow.

[0042] This design can make the airflow gradually attenuate when passing through the outer and inner sound attenuation holes, thereby effectively reducing noise. The small number of sound attenuation holes of the inner valve cage 1 can attenuate the sound wave initially, providing a smoother airflow path for the second sound attenuation holes 21 of the outer valve cage 2, further enhancing the sound attenuation effect.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first sound attenuation holes 11 and the second sound attenuation holes 21 have the same hole diameter, and the first sound attenuation holes 11 and the second sound attenuation holes 21 are arranged in a circumferential staggered manner.

[0044] The circumferential staggered arrangement of the first sound attenuation holes 11 and the second sound attenuation holes 21 can avoid the direct alignment of the airflow when passing through the sound attenuation holes, thereby reducing the reflection and turbulence of the airflow. This staggered design can optimize the flow state of the airflow passing through the sound attenuation holes, reducing the noise generated by the airflow impact. The staggered arrangement of the sound attenuation holes can reduce the resonance effect between the holes, making the sound attenuation effect smoother, avoiding resonance or interference of different hole diameters under the action of the airflow, thereby improving the overall sound attenuation efficiency.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the number of first sound attenuation holes 11 and second sound attenuation holes 21 at one end of the inner valve cage 1 and outer valve cage 2 in the axial direction is greater than the other end.

[0046] Setting more sound attenuation holes at one end of the axial direction can effectively slow down the airflow speed near the inlet or outlet position, reducing the noise generated at these positions. Reducing the number of sound attenuation holes at the other end may be to avoid excessive restriction of airflow, maintaining the stability and efficiency of fluid flow. Through this layout, the airflow will experience a gradual sound attenuation process when passing through the valve cage, so that the noise is better attenuated at different axial positions, improving the overall sound attenuation effect.

[0047] The present embodiment also includes a regulating valve comprising a double-layer sound attenuation valve cage as described above.

[0048] The double-layer sound attenuation valve cage design scheme, through the differential arrangement and optimization of the inner and outer sound attenuation holes, can effectively reduce the noise of the regulating valve under high pressure difference and large flow, and ensure that the noise level does not exceed 85 decibels, meeting the needs of specific application occasions.
