Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to valve technical field especially relates to a multistage throttling fine adjustment valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] In today's industrial field, especially in petroleum chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, fine chemical industry and fluid conveying system and many other industries, the precision of flow control plays a crucial role in the stability of production process, product quality and energy utilization efficiency. With the continuous improvement of industrial automation and the increasing refinement of production process, the requirement for valve flow regulation performance is becoming more and more stringent.

[0003] Traditional valves have many limitations in flow regulation. For example, the flow regulation range of ordinary single-stage throttling valve is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to achieve accurate control when regulating small flow, and the regulation precision is insufficient. This is because the single-stage throttling structure can only provide limited throttling resistance change, which cannot meet the precise regulation and control demand of small flow change in complex process. Moreover, the linearity of flow control of such valves is poor at different opening degrees, that is, with the change of valve opening degree, the change of flow is not an ideal linear relationship, but there may be a large deviation. This will lead to the difficulty in accurately controlling the valve opening degree according to the set flow parameter in actual production, which is easy to cause flow fluctuation, and then affect the stability of product quality. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, the precision of raw material flow in drug synthesis process is extremely high, and small flow deviation may lead to imbalance of drug ingredient proportion, affect drug efficacy and even cause safety hazard; in the rectification process of petroleum chemical industry, unstable flow will destroy the material balance and energy balance in the tower, reduce the separation efficiency, increase the energy consumption and production cost.

[0004] In order to solve the problems of low flow regulation precision and poor linearity of traditional valves, researchers have also proposed some improvement schemes. Some valves adopt multi-stage valve core structure, trying to expand the flow regulation range and improve the linearity through the cooperation of multiple valve cores. However, this structure is often complex, which not only increases the manufacturing cost of valve, but also due to the high cooperation precision requirement between multiple valve cores, it is easy to cause problems such as jamming, uneven wear in actual use, which reduces the reliability and service life of valve. In addition, some electronic flow regulation devices are combined with traditional valves, which realize accurate control of flow by means of sensor and controller. But this scheme has the problems of high cost, high requirement for use environment and electronic equipment susceptible to electromagnetic interference, which limits its wide application in some complex industrial environments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] As Figs. 1-2 shown, the valve of the utility model embodiment includes valve body 1, valve stem 2, valve core 3, multistage throttling system 4, sealing structure 5, positioning device 6, indicating device 7 and valve seat 8.

[0026] Specifically, the valve body 1 of the embodiment is spherical, the two sides of the valve body 1 are provided with fluid inlet and outlet, the fluid inlet is provided with tapered flow channel shape, the starting diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the connected pipeline, then gradually reduces to the diameter of the internal flow channel connection place of the valve body 1 along the fluid flow direction. The fluid outlet is provided with gradually expanding flow channel shape, the gradually expanding flow channel starts from the internal flow channel outlet of the valve body 1, and the diameter gradually increases to be slightly larger than the diameter of the connected pipeline.

[0027] Specifically, the fluid inlet and outlet of the valve body 1 are provided with standard threaded interfaces, and the diameter of the threaded interfaces is strictly designed according to the relevant industrial standards.

[0028] Specifically, at the top of the valve body 1, a valve stem 2 mounting hole is provided, the valve stem 2 top extends to the outside after passing through the valve body 1 mounting hole, and a standard square connector is processed, which perfectly matches the hand wheel 9 to achieve reliable connection. The valve stem 2 and the valve body 1 top mounting hole adopt a packing gland sealing structure 5. The packing gland is composed of a packing box 51, a packing gland 52 and graphite packing 53. The packing box 51 is firmly fixed on the valve body 1 by welding process, and has a specific annular space inside, the valve stem 2 passes through the space. The graphite packing 53 is carefully cut into the appropriate shape and size and filled in the annular space around the valve stem 2 in the packing box 51, and the packing gland 52 is connected to the packing box 51 by means of a plurality of high-strength bolts. During installation, by tightening the bolts step by step, the packing gland 52 applies uniform and appropriate compression force to the graphite packing 53, prompting the graphite packing 53 to tightly fit the surface of the valve stem 2.

[0029] Specifically, the valve core 3 of the embodiment is a spherical part. A plurality of throttle holes 41 of different diameters are distributed radially and axially on the fluid flow surface of the sphere. The diameters of these throttle holes 41 vary from 1mm to 5mm, and are arranged according to a specific mathematical model and flow regulation requirements. In this embodiment, the area close to the central axis of the sphere has larger diameter throttle holes 41 and sparse distribution, while as it approaches the edge of the sphere, the diameter of the throttle holes 41 gradually decreases and the distribution density increases accordingly.

[0030] Specifically, a plurality of throttle plates 42 are installed on the flow passage wall inside the valve body 1. The throttle plates 42 are made of high-quality ceramic material, the shape of the throttle plates 42 is circular, the thickness is accurately controlled to be 2mm, and they are fixed in a specific position on the flow passage wall by a clamping groove and correspond to the throttle holes 41 on the sphere. The size of the clamping groove and the outer diameter of the throttle plate 42 adopt a tight interference fit. When the sphere rotates, the fluid can pass through the throttle holes 41 on the sphere and the throttle plates 42 on the flow passage wall in turn, and the two cooperate with each other to achieve multi-stage throttling through different combination modes. For example, when small flow regulation is required, the fluid mainly passes through the narrow channel formed by the small-diameter throttle holes 41 on the sphere and the throttle plates 42 at a specific position on the flow passage wall, generating a large throttling resistance, thereby accurately controlling the small flow; while in the large flow demand, as the sphere rotates, more throttle holes 41 and throttle plates 42 are combined to participate in fluid flow, the flow area is greatly increased to meet the delivery requirements of larger flow.

[0031] Specifically, the valve seat 8 is installed at the key position inside the valve body 1 in contact with the ball. The sealing surface of the valve seat 8 is finely ground, and the ball surface is sealed by the sealing gasket 54. When the valve is in the closed state, the ball is tightly pressed against the valve seat 8 by the sealing gasket 54 under the drive of the valve stem 2, and the contact pressure between the two is evenly distributed, forming a reliable sealing interface.

[0032] Specifically, the positioning device 6 adopts a mechanical limiting structure. Limiting pins are installed at the upper and lower ends inside the valve body 1, and the limiting pins are firmly fixed on the valve body 1 by threaded connection. The upper and lower ends of the ball of the valve core 3 are correspondingly provided with limiting grooves, and when the ball rotates to the maximum or minimum opening position, the limiting pins will accurately enter the limiting grooves to prevent further rotation of the ball, thereby accurately limiting the displacement range of the valve core 3.

[0033] Specifically, the indicating device 7 is composed of an opening pointer 61 and a scale disc 62. The opening pointer 61 is made of lightweight aluminum alloy and is fixed on the valve stem 2 at the top of the valve body 1. The scale disc 62 is made of stainless steel and has scales from 0 degrees to 90 degrees marked on the surface, corresponding to the positions of the valve from full closing to full opening, and the accuracy of the scales reaches ±1 degree. The scale disc 62 is installed on the top of the valve body 1 near the pointer by welding process, and its installation angle is accurately calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the pointer and the scale. When the valve stem 2 rotates, the opening pointer 61 rotates with it, and the operator can intuitively understand the opening of the valve by observing the position of the pointer on the scale disc 62, thereby conveniently controlling the operation according to the process requirements.

[0034] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0035] When the valve is in the initial closed state, the through hole of the ball of the valve core 3 is perpendicular to the flow channel of the valve body 1, the fluid inlet and outlet are completely blocked by the ball, and the fluid cannot flow in the valve body 1. When it is necessary to open the valve to adjust the flow, the operator rotates the valve stem 2 by applying a suitable torque through the hand wheel 9, and the valve stem 2 stably transmits the torque to the ball of the valve core 3, so that the ball starts to rotate in the valve body 1. With the rotation of the ball, the fluid first contacts the smaller diameter throttling hole 41 on the ball, at this time, due to the restriction of the throttling hole 41, the flow area of the fluid is small, the flow rate is high, the pressure is low, and the flow is small, realizing preliminary throttling and flow control. With the continuous rotation of the ball, more throttling holes 41 participate in the flow path of the fluid, and the fluid begins to interact with the throttling piece 42 on the flow channel wall, the flow area gradually increases, the flow rate gradually decreases, the pressure gradually recovers, and the flow gradually increases. During the entire flow adjustment process, due to the distribution of the throttling holes 41 of different diameters on the ball and the combination with the throttling piece 42, and the accurate control of the opening degree of the ball by the positioning device 6, the flow can change according to the expected linear relationship at different opening degrees of the valve, thereby realizing fine flow adjustment and good flow control linearity.
