Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to an external valve position detection descaling valve. Background Technology

[0002] High-pressure water descaling is a common hot-rolling descaling process used in the steel industry. Low-pressure descaling water is pressurized by a high-pressure pump in the descaling system to form high-pressure water, which is then sprayed onto the surface of the red-hot steel billet at a certain frequency to remove the oxide scale. The precision with which the high-pressure water is sprayed onto the billet surface directly affects the descaling effect. The descaling valve, as the control hub of the system, directly controls the high-pressure water and plays a crucial role in the descaling system. Currently, the most common descaling valve is the plunger-type descaling valve; however, it cannot directly determine the valve's open or closed state. Another type of descaling valve has a built-in detection device, but this structure is cumbersome to maintain, and the valve's open or closed state cannot be directly observed. If the detection device malfunctions, the valve's open or closed state cannot be determined.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need to provide an improved technical solution that addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides an external valve position detection descaling valve, including a valve seat 1 and a valve core 2, the valve core 2 being vertically movable and passing through the valve seat 1. For clarity, the following definitions are provided. Figure 1 The top part is "up" and the bottom part is "down". The valve seat 1 is equipped with a valve position detection device 3 on its top. The top of the valve core 2 is located outside the valve seat 1, and the top of the valve core 2 is equipped with a detection head 31 corresponding to the valve position detection device 3.

[0030] The external valve position detection descaling valve provided in this embodiment operates by vertically moving the valve core 2 to open and close the valve seat 1. Since the top of the valve core 2 is located outside the top of the valve seat 1, the position of the detection head 31 at the top of the valve core 2 can be detected by the valve position detection device 3. This position information of the detection head 31 is then output as a signal to a display device (not shown in the figure), such as an indicator light or display screen, allowing the operator to visually observe the opening and closing status of the descaling valve. Even if the valve position detection device 3 malfunctions, the operator can still directly observe the external detection head 31 and determine the opening and closing status of the descaling valve by its height position. Furthermore, by placing the valve position detection device 3 outside the valve seat 1, the external valve position detection descaling valve provided in this embodiment facilitates the maintenance of the valve position detection device 3, significantly improving the efficiency and reliability of maintenance work.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in order to protect the valve position detection device 3 and prevent contaminants from entering the valve seat 1 through the gap between the valve core 2 and the valve seat 1, in one embodiment of this utility model, a protective cover 4 is provided on the top of the valve position detection device 3 and the valve core 2, covering the top of the valve core 2 and the valve position detection device 3 inside. To directly observe the opening and closing status of the descaling valve, the protective cover 4 can be transparent, or the valve position detection device 3 can be connected to a display device (not shown in the figure), with the display device located outside the protective cover 4.

[0032] Existing plunger-type descaling valves have slender stems, resulting in a long overall valve length. This makes it difficult to ensure coaxiality, leads to significant wear on the elastic seal, and results in numerous parts and mating surfaces, increasing cumulative errors and limiting the valve's service life. To address these issues, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the valve core 2 includes a plunger 21, a connecting plate 22, and a connecting rod 23 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The valve seat 1 includes a valve body 11, a cylinder 12, and a valve cover 13 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The plunger 21 has an axial inlet 211 and a radial outlet 212 at its bottom end, which are connected internally within the plunger 21. The valve body 11 has an inlet chamber 111 and an outlet chamber 112, with a connecting cavity 113 between them. The bottom end of the plunger 21 passes through the connecting cavity 113. The up-and-down movement of the plunger 21 realizes the opening and closing of the valve. The position of the outlet 212 determines the connection or disconnection between the valve inlet chamber 111 and the outlet chamber 112, i.e., the valve is open when the outlet 212 is connected to the outlet chamber 112; otherwise, the valve is closed. The plunger 21 has a piston 24 in its middle, and the outer end of the piston 24 slidably abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder 12. The piston 24 divides the inner cavity of the cylinder 12 into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, and the valve seat 1 has an air passage 14 corresponding to the upper and lower chambers. By supplying air to the upper or lower chamber, the piston 24 can drive the plunger 21 to move downward or upward. The top of the plunger 21 has an inner hole 213, and the connecting plate 22 is located inside the inner hole 213. The bottom end of the connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 22, the top of the connecting rod 23 passes through the valve cover 13, and the end is located outside the valve cover 13. The detection head 31 is located at the top of the connecting rod 23. In this embodiment, the valve core 2 is divided into two parts in the length direction: the connecting rod 23 and the plunger 21, which reduces the length of each component and makes it easier to ensure concentricity during movement. The connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the plunger 21 by a connecting plate 22, which is located inside the inner hole 213 at the top of the plunger 21. This further solves the problem that the concentricity is difficult to guarantee due to the excessive length of the valve core 2. In addition, the outer end of the piston 24 in the middle of the plunger 21 abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder 12, which can also ensure the concentricity of the plunger 21 during movement to a certain extent.

[0033] When the plunger 21 moves, to prevent positive and negative pressures caused by volume changes in the cavity between the connecting disc 22 and the valve cover 13 from affecting the movement of the plunger 21, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the plunger 21 has a water channel 214 extending axially along the plunger 21, and the water channel 214 is connected to the water inlet 211. The valve cover 13 has a balance chamber 131, and the valve cover 13 and the connecting plate 22 form a closed balance chamber 131. The connecting plate 22 has a water passage hole 221, which connects the balance chamber 131 and the water channel 214. Specifically, when the plunger 21 moves upward, the medium enters the balance chamber 131 through the water channel 214. The hydraulic pressure in the water channel 214 of the plunger 21 is greater than the hydraulic pressure in the balance chamber 131. As the driving force of the gas supply on the piston 24 increases, the plunger 21 moves upward and opens the valve. When the plunger 21 moves downward, the hydraulic pressure in the water channel 214 of the plunger 21 is greater than the hydraulic pressure in the balance chamber 131. As the driving force of the gas supply on the piston 24 increases, it overcomes part of the hydraulic pressure in the water channel 214, and the plunger 21 moves downward and closes the valve. When the valve is open, compressed air enters the lower chamber through the air passage 14, and the air in the upper chamber enters the atmosphere through the air passage 14. The compressed air in the cylinder 12 acts on the piston 24, generating maximum thrust, causing the plunger 21 to move upward and the valve to open. When the valve is closed, compressed air enters the upper chamber through the air passage 14, and the air in the lower chamber enters the atmosphere through the air passage 14. The compressed air in the cylinder 12 acts on the piston 24, generating maximum thrust, causing the plunger 21 to move downward and the valve to close.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the inner hole 213 is provided with an annular keyway 215, and an inner retaining key 5 is provided in the keyway 215. The inner retaining key 5 protrudes from the keyway 215, and the bottom surface of the inner retaining key 5 abuts against the top surface of the connecting plate 22. Further, in order to improve the stability of the connection, a keycap 6 is provided on the top of the connecting plate 22, and the keycap 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 22 by bolts. The edge of the keycap 6 is provided with a horizontally extending brim 61, and the brim 61 abuts against the top surface of the inner retaining key 5.

[0035] To further improve the stability and concentricity of linkage 23 during movement, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a guide seat 7 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the valve cover 13, and the connecting rod 23 passes through the guide seat 7. In this embodiment, the guide seat 7 limits and guides the movement of the connecting rod 23, so that it maintains stability and concentricity when moving.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the air passage 14 connected to the upper cavity is disposed inside the valve cover 13, and the air passage 14 connected to the lower cavity is disposed inside the valve body 11.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the plunger 21 has an outwardly protruding stepped portion 216 in the middle, and an inwardly recessed groove portion 217 is provided above the stepped portion 216. An external locking key 8 is provided in the groove portion 217. The bottom of the piston 24 abuts against the stepped portion 216, and the top of the piston 24 abuts against the external locking key 8.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the valve body 11 and the plunger 21, the cylinder 12 and the piston 24, the valve cover 13 and the plunger 21, and the valve cover 13 and the connecting rod 23 are all slidably sealed together by sealing rings 9. Furthermore, the plunger 21 is chamfered to reduce damage to the sealing ring 9 and enhance the accuracy of pressure regulation. Furthermore, the guide seat 7 is chamfered to reduce damage to the sealing ring 9.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to achieve the connection between the connecting rod 23 and the connecting plate 22, in one embodiment of the present invention, the lower end of the connecting rod 23 is provided with a thread, which is connected to the threaded hole in the middle of the connecting plate 22 and welded at the connection point.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to assemble the valve body 11, cylinder 12 and valve cover 13 into valve seat 1, the valve cover 13 has a plurality of cylindrical holes evenly distributed, and the valve body 11 has corresponding threaded holes, which are connected by connecting bolts 15.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
