AI Technical Summary
Traditional oil industry gate valves suffer from thermal stress concentration due to differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of materials at high temperatures, leading to valve body deformation, leakage at the sealing surface, and accelerated aging of sealing materials, making them unable to effectively cope with high temperature and high pressure environments.
The petroleum industry gate valve is designed with a built-in annular cooling chamber. It is connected to an external circulating cooling pipeline through inlet and outlet water pipes to form a closed-loop cooling channel. The cooling medium circulates and absorbs heat in the valve body and valve plate, keeping the temperature below the critical value and preventing thermal deformation of the sealing surface and failure of the valve stem due to thermal expansion.
It achieves synchronous cooling of the valve body and valve plate, improves the sealing stability and service life of the gate valve in extreme environments, and prevents leakage and wear of the sealing surface caused by high temperature and high pressure.

[0003] In the petroleum industry, the traditional gate valve is in high temperature (300-500 DEG C) for a long time, and the valve body and the gate plate are unevenly heated due to the difference in material thermal expansion coefficient (such as the linear expansion coefficient of cast steel valve body is about 12*10 6 / ℃, the stainless steel gate plate is about 17*10 6 / ℃), and the local temperature gradient is more than 200℃ / m, which produces thermal stress concentration (more than 200MPa), far exceeding the yield strength of the material (such as WCB steel about 250MPa), causing the deformation of valve flange, the warping of gate plate and the misplacement of sealing surface; at the same time, high temperature makes the sealing material (such as graphite, rubber) accelerate aging, and after the elastic failure, the deformation gap cannot be compensated, and the high pressure medium erosion aggravates the sealing surface wear, eventually leading to the leakage passage between the gate plate and the valve seat, losing the cutting function, seriously threatening the safety of pipeline.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] As Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a kind of built-in cooling channel's petroleum industry gate valve, including valve body 1, the valve stem 2 being arranged in the middle part of valve body 1, and the valve plate 3 being arranged in the bottom of valve stem 2, the inside of valve body 1 is equipped with annular cooling cavity, its inlet pipe 5 and outlet pipe 6 are arranged in the two sides of the outer lateral wall of valve body 1, are connected with the pipeline on the outside circulating cooling pipeline by inlet pipe 5 and outlet pipe 6, to form circulating cooling channel.
[0026] The built-in cooling channel's petroleum industry gate valve is cooperated with the outside circulating cooling pipeline by the annular cooling cavity in the inside of valve body 1, realizes dynamic temperature control: when valve is in high temperature working condition (such as transporting sulfur-containing crude oil or high temperature steam), cooling medium (such as water or special heat conducting oil) is pumped into annular cooling cavity from inlet pipe 5, along the spiral or circuitous design flow passage of cavity body sufficiently absorbs the heat conducted by the inner wall of valve body 1, then the medium after temperature rise is discharged to outside heat exchanger to be cooled down, forms closed loop circulation;This process continuously takes away the heat generated by high-pressure fluid friction, chemical corrosion or environmental radiation of valve body 1, ensures that the temperature of valve body 1 material is always below critical value (such as carbon steel ≤425 DEG C), effectively prevents sealing surface thermal deformation, valve plate 3 jam and valve stem 2 thermal expansion failure, simultaneously, by adjusting the flow and temperature of cooling medium, the heat dissipation demand under different working conditions can be adapted, the sealing stability and service life of valve under extreme environment are significantly improved.
[0027] Further, the annular cooling cavity of valve body 1 is divided into two groups and arranged on the two sides of valve body 1 relative to valve plate 3, the inside of valve plate 3 is hollow, thereby forming a cavity for accommodating cooling liquid, and the two groups of annular cooling cavities on valve body 1 are connected to the cavity of valve plate 3 through hoses 4.
[0028] Specifically, the two groups of annular cooling cavities inside valve body 1 are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of valve plate 3, under the driving of external circulating pump, cooling medium is injected into one of the annular cooling cavities from inlet pipe 5, forms turbulent flow guided by the spiral flow guide inside the cavity to strengthen heat exchange efficiency, then flows into the hollow cooling cavity inside valve plate 3 through the hose 4 made of high-temperature-resistant fluorine rubber material, the cooling liquid flows along the path designed by the axial baffle in the cavity of valve plate 3, sufficiently absorbs the heat generated by high-pressure fluid shear and sealing surface friction of valve plate 3, then is guided into the other annular cooling cavity through the other hose 4 for further cooling, and finally returns to the external cooling tower from outlet pipe 6 to complete the circulation;This design not only realizes the synchronous cooling of valve body 1 and valve plate 3 (the overall temperature can be controlled below 200 DEG C), but also more effectively inhibits the deformation of sealing surface of valve plate 3 caused by high temperature creep through the direct contact heat exchange of cooling liquid inside valve plate 3.
[0029] And, the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 6 are detachably connected with the pipeline on the circulating cooling pipeline through quick release structure, so as to realize the quick connection of the internal cooling channel of the petroleum industry gate valve and the external circulating cooling pipeline. The specific connection structure is as follows: the outer side wall of the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 6 is fixedly connected with the connecting plate A 7, and the connecting plate A 7 is provided with a through groove 8 in the inside; the pipeline on the circulating cooling pipeline is provided with two groups of connecting pipes 14 inserted into the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 6 respectively; the outer side wall of the connecting pipe 14 is fixedly connected with the connecting plate B 9, and the bottom end of the connecting plate B 9 is provided with an elastic component 11 for moving the limiting block 10; the elastic component 11 comprises a recessed groove seat 1101 fixed at the bottom end of the connecting plate B 9 and capable of penetrating through the through groove 8, and the recessed groove seat 1101 is connected with the limiting block 10 through an elastic air cushion 1102 in the inside.
[0030] That is, the limiting block 10 is pressed into the recessed groove seat 1101, and then the recessed groove seat 1101 on the connecting pipe 14 is inserted into the through groove 8 on the water inlet pipe 5 or the water outlet pipe 6. After penetration, the connecting pipe 14 is sleeved on the water inlet pipe 5 or the water outlet pipe 6, the connecting plate A 7 and the connecting plate B 9 are tightly attached to each other, and the limiting block 10 also completely penetrates through the through groove 8. Under the condition that there is no external force pressing, the elastic air cushion 1102 will reset the limiting block 10 by using its elasticity, and the limiting block 10 will be stretched out of the recessed groove seat 1101 to resist the bottom end of the connecting plate B 9, so as to fix the connecting plate A 7 and the connecting plate B 9. Thus, the connection between the connecting pipe 14 and the water inlet pipe 5 or the water outlet pipe 6 is completed. Conversely, the limiting block 10 is pressed into the recessed groove seat 1101 again, and the recessed groove seat 1101 is pulled out of the through groove 8, so as to realize the disconnection between the connecting pipe 14 and the water outlet pipe 6 or the water inlet pipe 5. The disconnection is relatively convenient.
[0031] Moreover, the elastic component 11 comprises the recessed groove seat 1101 fixed at the bottom end of the connecting plate B 9 and capable of penetrating through the through groove 8, and the recessed groove seat 1101 is connected with the limiting block 10 through the elastic air cushion 1102 in the inside. The telescopic rod 1103 can maintain the linear movement of the limiting block relative to the recessed groove seat 1101, so as to avoid the inclination of the limiting block and affect the connection effect between the connecting pipe 14 and the water inlet pipe 5 or the water outlet pipe 6.
[0032] Moreover, the top of the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 6 is provided with a plurality of circular grooves 12, the bottom of the connecting pipe 14 is integrally formed with a plurality of annular plates 13 which can be inserted into the circular grooves 12 respectively, the inner surface of the circular grooves 12 is coated with a layer of rubber, that is, when the connecting pipe 14 is connected with the water inlet pipe 5 or the water outlet pipe 6 (the connecting pipe 14 is sleeved on the water inlet pipe 5 or the water outlet pipe 6), at this time, the plurality of annular plates 13 are inserted into the plurality of circular grooves 12, the rubber layer (usually high-temperature-resistant fluorine rubber) on the inner wall of the circular grooves 12 is elastically deformed under the radial extrusion of the annular plates 13, and the gap between the circular grooves 12 and the annular plates 13 is filled, so that a multi-layer sealing structure is formed, so as to fully ensure the sealing performance of the connection between the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 6.
[0033] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form; any person skilled in the art can easily implement the present application according to the above description and the drawings; however, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical scheme of the present application, using the above disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of the present application; at the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made according to the essential technology of the present application are still within the protection scope of the technical scheme of the present application.
