Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to valve technical field, especially, relate to a simulation system of valve life test under the condition of simulating gas-borne solid particles.

BACKGROUND

[0002] The particles carried in the production and transportation process of oil and natural gas will impact the pipe wall and cause erosion, and the pipes are connected by valves, and the high-speed particles in the gas can cause wear to the internal parts of the valve, especially the sealing surface and the valve core, resulting in a decrease in the sealing performance of the valve and the occurrence of internal leakage. If this continues, the particles may cause the valve to jam or fail to work normally, thereby causing system failure. In extreme cases, it may cause the entire system to be shut down for maintenance. Therefore, during the design stage of the valve, product life simulation tests must be conducted on the actual use conditions to test the real reliability of the product.

[0003] In the prior art, a pipeline valve wear test device disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN214251895U includes a gas delivery mechanism, a sand particle delivery mechanism, a sealing cavity, and a nozzle and a clamping mechanism arranged in the sealing cavity. The gas delivery mechanism has a first output end for outputting gas through the first output end. The sand particle delivery mechanism has a second output end for outputting sand particles through the second output end. When testing, the gas source of the gas delivery mechanism and the feeder of the sand particle delivery mechanism are opened respectively, and the gas and the sand particles enter the nozzle, and then the mixture of the gas and the sand particles is sprayed to the valve through the nozzle, and the erosion of the valve surface is detected. On the one hand, the mixture of the gas and the sand particles is sprayed to the valve surface through the nozzle during detection, and the erosion of the internal parts of the valve cannot be detected, and the erosion of the internal parts of the valve caused by the gas and the sand particles during the opening and closing of the valve cannot be simulated. On the other hand, the gas delivery mechanism and the sand particle delivery mechanism are separately arranged, and the gas and the sand particles are delivered to the nozzle, and then sprayed to the valve by the nozzle. The erosion of the internal parts of the valve caused by the high-speed gas carrying the high-speed particles cannot be simulated. Therefore, the life detection is not accurate.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a simulation system for testing the life of a valve under the condition of simulating gas-borne solid particles to solve the above technical problems.

[0007] Furthermore, the air supply unit includes an air source, an air compressor connected to the air source, and a fifth pipe connected to the output end of the air compressor. The output end of the fifth pipe is provided with a second three-way valve, and the input end of the third pipe and the input end of the fourth pipe are respectively connected to the other two outlets of the second three-way valve.

[0012] Furthermore, a dustproof cloth is provided on top of the receiving container.

[0022] The air-borne solid particle conveying device 1 comprises a gas supply unit, a third pipeline 11 and a fourth pipeline 12 arranged at two outlets of the gas supply unit respectively, and a particle storage bin 13 arranged on the fourth pipeline 12, wherein the particle storage bin 13 is in a closed state, the inlet and outlet of the particle storage bin 13 are connected to the fourth pipeline 12, the diameter of the third pipeline 11 is larger than that of the fourth pipeline 12, the output end of the third pipeline 11, the output end of the fourth pipeline 12, and the input end of the first pipeline 2 are connected to three outlets of a first three-way pipe 17 respectively, and after the gas supply unit is supplied with gas, a pressure gradient exists in the third pipeline 11 and the fourth pipeline 12, so that the gas in the fourth pipeline 12 automatically flows into the output end of the fourth pipeline 12 together with the solid particles in the particle storage bin 13, and then the gas and the solid particles flow into the valve 200 to be tested through the first pipeline 2 for testing. The solid particles herein can be replaced by powder according to actual conditions, and the specific substance is not limited herein.

[0023] The gas supply unit comprises a gas source, an air compressor connected to the gas source, and a fifth pipeline 14 connected to the output end of the air compressor, wherein the output end of the fifth pipeline 14 is provided with a second three-way pipe 16, and the input end of the third pipeline 11 and the input end of the fourth pipeline 12 are connected to the other two outlets of the second three-way pipe 16 respectively.

[0024] The particle storage bin 13 is connected to the fourth pipeline 12, and the inlet and outlet of the particle storage bin 13 are connected to the fourth pipeline 12, a check valve 15 is arranged between the outlet of the particle storage bin 13 and the first three-way pipe 17, and the check valve 15 can prevent the problem of backflow of the solid particles. A closure cover is arranged at the top end of the particle storage bin 13, solid particles are added into the particle storage bin 13 by opening the closure cover, the closure cover is closed after the addition is completed, so that the particle storage bin 13 is in a closed state, and the solid particles in the particle storage bin 13 can flow into the first pipeline 12.

[0025] The diameter of the third pipeline 11 is larger than the diameter of the fourth pipeline 12, and there is a difference in pipe diameter between the third pipeline 11 and the fourth pipeline 12. During the process of opening the valve to be tested 200 to stable, the flow of the third pipeline 11 is large, the flow rate is high and the pressure is low, the flow of the fourth pipeline 12 is small, the relative flow rate is low and the pressure is high, the pressure in the fourth pipeline 12 is greater than the pressure in the first pipeline 2, a large pressure difference will be generated at the first three-way pipe 17, the pressure at the inlet of the particle storage bin 13 is greater than the pressure at the outlet, so that the solid particles in the particle storage bin 13 automatically flow into the fourth pipeline 12, without manual switch, and without additional switch, the gas in the fourth pipeline 12 automatically flows into the first pipeline 2 with the solid particles in the particle storage bin 13, after a period of time, when the valve to be tested 200 is completely opened and stable, the flow in the first pipeline 2 is stable, the pressure difference at the first three-way pipe 17 decreases, and the solid particles flow into the first pipeline 2 uniformly by relying on the airflow in the fourth pipeline 12, the gas and solid particles flowing into the first pipeline 2 automatically flow into the valve to be tested 200, which can simulate the working condition of gas-carrying solid particles pipeline and test the valve to be tested 200, and the operation is simple and the test efficiency is high. After the valve to be tested 200 is closed, the material in the first pipeline 2 is blocked and the pressure increases, and the gas source is still continuously outputting gas, the pressure of the gas in the fourth pipeline 12 increases, the pressure at the inlet of the upper end of the particle storage bin 13 increases, and a short-term vortex is generated in the particle storage bin 13, which avoids the accumulation of granular material, especially powder, in the bin. Because the valve to be tested 200 is closed, the pressure at the outlet of the lower end of the particle storage bin 13 also increases, and the pressure at the inlet and outlet of the particle storage bin 13 is balanced, so that the solid particles in the particle storage bin 13 are prevented from flowing out. Therefore, after the valve to be tested 200 is opened, the solid particles in the particle storage bin 13 automatically flow into the valve to be tested 200 together with the gas for testing, and after the valve to be tested 200 is closed, the solid particles in the particle storage bin 13 automatically stop flowing into the fourth pipeline 12, without manual switch and without additional switch. The solid particles in the particle storage bin 13 can automatically flow into or stop flowing into the valve to be tested 200, which is simple in structure and convenient to operate.

The first pressure gauge 21 is used for measuring the pressure upstream of the valve to be tested 200, and can also read the instantaneous pressure in the pipeline during the opening or closing process of the valve to be tested 200.

[0028] The first pressure gauge 21 and the second pressure gauge 31 can calculate the real pressure loss and the local loss coefficient before and after the valve in the gas-borne solid particle working condition and analyze the flow and pressure characteristics at the opening and closing moment of the valve.

[0029] The receiving mechanism 4 comprises a receiving hopper 41 arranged at the end of the second pipeline 3 and a receiving container 42 arranged below the receiving hopper 41, the receiving hopper 41 is arranged upside down, the upper end of the receiving hopper 41 has a small diameter and the lower end has a large diameter, the opening gradually expands, which is beneficial to reduce the flow rate of the material in the pipeline and make the kinetic energy of the material in the pipeline attenuate and sink into the receiving container 42. In order to prevent the flying of solid particles and dust, a dustproof cloth 43 is arranged above the receiving container 42, which can avoid the flying of solid particles and dust, ensure the neatness, cleanliness and hygiene of the construction site and protect the health of workers.
