[0034] Embodiment one

[0035] The working mode of the regulating valve is that: the external driving force is transmitted to the valve disc part 3 through the valve rod part 2, so that the valve disc part 3 moves up and down in the valve cage, changes the relative position between the valve disc part 3 and the flow regulating hole on the valve cage, and adjusts the fluid flow through the valve.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a regulating valve with an integrated structure is provided, which comprises a valve body 1, a valve disc part 3 and a valve rod part 2.

[0037] The valve body 1 is provided with a medium inlet flow channel 11, a medium outlet flow channel 12 and a valve cage. The valve cage is arranged in the valve body 1, the lower end of the valve cage is sealingly connected with the medium outlet flow channel 12, the upper end of the valve cage is sealingly connected with the inner wall of the valve body 1, the side wall of the valve cage is arranged in the medium inlet flow channel 11, and the lower section of the valve cage is provided with a plurality of flow regulating holes.

[0038] The valve clack 3 is arranged in the valve cage, and the outer side surface of the valve clack 3 is in dynamic sealing connection with the inner side surface of the valve cage; the valve clack 3 directly controls the flow passage area, is located in the valve cage, and the valve cage guides the up-down movement of the valve clack 3, and the two cooperating surfaces have a sealing effect, preventing the medium from leaking without passing through the throttling area, that is, the medium can only flow into the valve cage from the flow regulating hole and then flow to the medium outlet flow channel 12.

[0039] The lower end of the valve stem 2 extends to the upper end of the valve clack 3 through the valve body 1, and the valve stem 2 and the valve clack 3 are integrally formed to form a rigid whole. The valve stem 2 and the valve clack 3 are not two independent components assembled together, but are integrally formed (manufactured into a single component without internal joints by casting, forging, integral machining and the like) to form a rigid whole. After the lower end of the valve stem passes through the valve body 1, it is directly and seamlessly integrated with the valve clack 3 below. This design fundamentally eliminates the risk of loosening, wear or breakage at the connection between the valve stem and the valve clack in the traditional structure.

[0040] The embodiment also provides several optional detailed design schemes.

[0041] The valve clack 3 is in the form of a cylinder, and the outer side surface of the valve clack 3 is in dynamic sealing contact with the inner side surface of the valve cage; the valve clack 3 is arranged in the form of a cylinder, which can reduce the mass of the valve clack 3, reduce the inertial impact of the external driving force, and save materials.

[0042] The valve stem 2 includes a stem body and a connecting block 21, the lower end of the stem body is connected to the upper end surface of the connecting block 21, the connecting block 21 is arranged inside the upper end of the valve clack 3, and the outer side surface of the connecting block 21 is connected to the inner side surface of the valve clack 3; the valve clack 3, the stem body and the connecting block 21 are integrally formed, that is, the connecting block 21 is part of the whole, which is used to realize the structural transition and connection of the stem body to the cylindrical valve clack.

[0043] The connecting block 21 is provided with a plurality of pressure balance holes 4 penetrating through the upper end surface and the lower end surface thereof, the pressure balance holes 4 are used to communicate the fluid pressures of the space above and below the valve clack, so as to reduce the unbalanced force acting on the valve clack, so that when the valve clack 3 moves up and down, the space above the valve clack 3 and the valve body 1 will not become a sealed cavity.

[0044] The valve clack 3 and the valve stem 2 are made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy steel or stainless steel, and the outer surfaces of the valve clack 3 and the valve stem 2 are subjected to chrome plating or nitriding treatment.

[0045] Embodiment Two

[0046] As Figure 3As shown, this embodiment is a further structural optimization based on the integrated valve stem and valve disc structure of Embodiment 1. The purpose is to provide guide structures above and below the connecting block 21 so that the fluid medium that needs to be exchanged through the pressure balance hole 4 can flow more quickly and smoothly when the valve disc part 3 makes rapid up and down adjustment movements, thereby effectively avoiding or mitigating the possible hydraulic shock phenomenon, protecting the valve internals and improving operational stability.

[0047] The upper end face of the connecting block 21 is provided with an upwardly extending guide platform 5. The outer side of the guide platform 5 is dynamically sealed to the inner side of the valve cage. The guide platform 5 is not an independent component, but a specific geometric shape formed by the three parts of the integrated valve stem and valve disc in the area above the connecting block 21. The guide platform 5 is coaxially surrounded by the valve stem body. The outer circumferential side of the guide platform 5 is dynamically sealed to the inner side of the valve cage. That is, the guide platform 5 undertakes part or main of the upper guiding function here and cooperates with the valve cage to achieve dynamic sealing.

[0048] The upper surface of the flow guide platform 5 is provided with an annular triangular groove 51, and the bottom surface of the annular triangular groove 51 is provided with a flow guide hole 52 that connects to the upper end of the pressure balance hole 4; the flow guide platform 5 is integrally formed with the rod body and the connecting block 21.

[0049] The combined action of the guide platform 5, the annular groove, and the guide hole 52 provides a guiding channel for fluid exchange at the upper end of the pressure balance hole 4. When the valve disc 3 moves rapidly and fluid needs to enter the pressure balance hole 4, the fluid can enter the guide hole 52 through the annular triangular groove 51 and then flow into the pressure balance hole 4. This avoids the fluid directly and at high speed impacting the upper surface of the connecting block 21 or the pressure balance hole 4, thus playing a guiding role.

[0050] In addition, a triangular protrusion is provided between two adjacent guide holes 52 to further guide the fluid into the guide hole 52 and avoid impacting the area between the two adjacent guide holes 52.

[0051] The upper outer edge of the annular triangular groove 51 is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the guide platform 5, and the upper inner edge of the annular triangular groove 51 is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the rod.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, similarly, in order to prevent the medium fluid from entering the upper part of the valve disc 3 from the lower part of the valve disc 3 and impacting the connecting block 21, the lower end of the pressure balance hole 4 is connected to the inner side of the valve disc 3, and the lower end face of the connecting block 21 is provided with a downwardly extending inverted cone 6. The conical surface of the inverted cone 6 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped grooves 61, and the upper arc-shaped edge of the arc-shaped grooves 61 is connected to the circumferential surface of the pressure balance hole 4; the inverted cone 6 and the connecting block 21 are integrally formed.

[0053] When the fluid medium flows upward from the space below the valve disc 3, through the pressure balance hole 4, into the space above the valve disc 3, the inverted frustum 6 formed on the lower end face of the connecting block 21 and extending downward and the arc-shaped groove 61 on the tapered side wall thereof play an inlet flow guiding role, and the inverted frustum 6 and the arc-shaped groove 61 constitute a structure for collecting fluid from the lower region, which can more smoothly and effectively guide and collect the fluid from the lower region of the valve disc to the lower end inlet of the pressure balance hole 4, reducing the turbulence phenomenon and local pressure loss of the fluid when entering the orifice, thereby ensuring that the pressure balance passage can quickly and smoothly respond to pressure changes and achieve effective pressure balance function.

[0054] The upper circumferential edge of the inverted frustum 6 is connected with the inner side face of the valve disc 3, and the maximum radius of the arc-shaped groove 61 is equal to the radius of the pressure balance hole 4. The radius of the arc-shaped groove 61 increases from bottom to top along the inverted frustum 6.

[0055] In the description of the present specification, the description of the terms "one embodiment / way", "some embodiments / ways", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" and the like means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment / way or example are included in at least one embodiment / way or example of the present application.

In addition, the different embodiments / ways or examples described in the present specification and the features of the different embodiments / ways or examples can be combined and combined by those skilled in the art without contradiction.

Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.
