[0028] Embodiment one
[0029] As Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown, the basic structure of the anti-vibration steam control valve and the connection relationship between the core components and the basic force transmission mode are provided. The anti-vibration steam control valve comprises a valve body 1, a cage 2, a valve core 3, a valve rod 4 and a gland 6. The cage 2 is arranged in the valve body 1, the valve core 3 is arranged in the cage 2 and slides axially along the cage 2, the gland 6 is fixedly connected with the valve core 3, the lower end of the valve rod 4 penetrates through the gland 6 and is arranged between the gland 6 and the valve core 3, the valve rod 4 applies a downward driving force to the valve core 3, and the valve rod 4 applies an upward driving force to the gland 6.
[0030] The valve body 1 is a pressure-bearing shell of the control valve, which bears the pressure from the pipeline system.
[0031] The cage 2 is an internal component mounted in the valve body 1, usually in the form of a sleeve, and mainly functions to accommodate and guide the movement of the valve core 3, and may also jointly form a sealing pair with the valve core 3 to close or regulate the fluid passage, so that different sizes and numbers of holes are arranged in the lower part of the cage 2.
[0032] The valve core 3 is a movable component directly regulating the flow of fluid, which is located inside the cage 2 and is designed to slide up and down along the central axis direction of the cage 2. When the valve is closed, the two sealing surfaces (sealing surface I and sealing surface II) of the cage 2 and the valve core 3 are in close contact, thereby achieving the cut-off of the medium. After the valve is opened, the regulation of the medium flow and pressure is realized through the cage 2 and the valve core 3. The valve rod 4 drives the valve core 3 to move up and down, controls the number of holes through which the medium passes the cage 2, thereby realizing the regulation. The regulation characteristics can be equal percentage, linear, etc.
[0033] The valve rod 4 is responsible for transmitting the power from the external driving device to drive the valve core 3 to move up and down.
[0034] Due to the high flow rate of steam, under the impact of high-speed medium, the valve core 3 will inevitably vibrate. By separating the connection between the valve core 3 and the valve rod 4, the vibration of the valve core 3 will not be transmitted to the valve rod 4, thereby protecting the valve, actuator and the like. And through the cooperation of the cover, the valve rod 4 and the valve core 3, the normal driving force transmission will not be affected.
[0035] Downward driving: when it is necessary to close the valve or reduce the opening degree, the valve rod 4 moves downward, and its end can directly contact the valve core 3 to apply a downward driving force to the valve core 3.
[0036] Upward driving: when it is necessary to open the valve or increase the opening degree, the valve rod 4 moves upward. At this time, the valve rod 4 does not directly pull the valve core 3, but applies an upward driving force to the gland 6 by pushing or pulling the gland 6 upward. Since the gland 6 is fixedly connected with the valve core 3, the gland 6 in turn drives the valve core 3 to move upward.
[0037] Example two
[0038] The embodiment provides a specific structure of the gland 6 and the valve core 3.
[0039] The upper end surface of the valve core 3 is provided with a threaded blind hole, and the outer surface of the gland 6 is provided with an external thread matched with the threaded blind hole, so that the gland 6 and the valve core 3 are connected through the thread.
[0040] When the gland 6 is screwed into the valve core 3 to a predetermined position, the lower end surface of the gland 6 is not directly attached to the bottom of the threaded blind hole, and a cavity is arranged between the lower end surface of the gland 6 and the bottom surface of the threaded blind hole. The lower end of the valve rod 4 is provided with a force receiving part with a diameter larger than that of the valve rod 4, which is usually manifested as a flange, a step or a head at the end of the valve rod 4, and the diameter is larger than that of the rod body of the valve rod 4.
[0041] The gland 6 is provided with a through hole with a diameter slightly larger than that of the rod body of the valve rod 4, but smaller than that of the force receiving part, so that the lower segment of the valve rod 4 can pass through the through hole. The lower segment of the valve rod 4 is arranged in the through hole, and the force receiving part is arranged in the cavity, and the thickness of the force receiving part is not greater than the height of the cavity.
[0042] The diameter of the force receiving part is larger than that of the through hole, so that when the valve rod 4 goes up, the force receiving part is blocked by the lower edge of the through hole (i.e. part of the gland 6), thereby effectively transmitting the upward force to the gland 6.
[0043] The thickness of the force receiving part is not greater than the height of the cavity, so that the force receiving part has a certain space for movement in the cavity, which can effectively reduce the transmission of vibration.
[0044] The gland 6 includes two half covers which are split in half. The two half covers clamp the lower segment of the valve rod 4. During assembly, the two half covers can be placed on both sides of the lower segment of the valve rod 4 (above the force receiving part) respectively, and clamp the valve rod 4 like a clamp, and then the two half covers combined together are screwed into the threaded blind hole of the valve core 3 to complete the connection.
[0045] The gland 6 and the valve core 3 are provided with a plurality of pin holes, and a plurality of fixing pins 5 connect the gland 6 and the valve core 3 through the pin holes, mechanically lock the gland 6 and the valve core 3 in the radial and circumferential directions, and effectively prevent relative rotation between the two.
[0046] The upper end of the fixed pin 5 is sealingly welded to the gland 6, and the welding point 7 is at position 7 in the figure. The gland 6 is sealingly welded to the valve core 3, and the welding point 7 is at position 8 in the figure. After the fixed pin 5 is installed, the exposed upper end is welded and fixed between the gland 6 body. In addition, the interface (for example, the outer edge contact) between the gland 6 and the valve core 3 is also sealingly welded. This combination of threads, pins, and welding maximizes the firmness and vibration resistance of the connection, greatly enhances the reliability and vibration resistance of the connection between the gland 6 and the valve core 3, and ensures the stable operation and long service life of the entire split anti-vibration structure under harsh working conditions.
[0047] Embodiment three
[0048] The upper and lower parts of the valve core 3 are respectively provided with sealing surfaces I and II, and a buffer part is arranged between the sealing surfaces I and II. The outer diameter of the buffer part is smaller than that of the valve core 3, and the buffer part is inwardly contracted relative to the sealing surface regions at the upper and lower ends.
[0049] In order to smoothly transition the surface of the valve core 3 from the sealing surface region with a larger diameter to the buffer part region with a smaller diameter, avoid forming a sharp step angle, and avoid causing flow separation, vortexes, or stress concentration, an upper guide groove 9 connected to the buffer part is arranged below the sealing surface I, and a lower guide groove 11 connected to the buffer part is arranged above the sealing surface II, which helps to guide the fluid to flow more smoothly over the surface of the valve core 3, reducing flow impact.
[0050] At least one annular groove 10 is arranged on the buffer part. The annular groove 10 changes the flow state of the fluid flowing through the narrow gap between the valve core 3 and the cage 2 (for example, generating vortexes, increasing fluid damping, changing pressure pulsation frequency, etc.), so as to dissipate fluid energy, reduce flow instability, and reduce vibration and noise generated thereby.
