Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of butterfly valve technology, specifically to an electro-hydraulic drive device for butterfly valve control. Background Technology

[0002] In high-pressure, high-velocity industrial fluid transportation scenarios such as petrochemicals and natural gas transmission, butterfly valves are core equipment for flow control and emergency shut-off. The performance of their drive devices directly affects the safety and stability of system operation. Traditional butterfly valve electro-hydraulic drive devices mostly rely on a single hydraulic drive structure: on the one hand, during the opening and closing process of the hydraulic system, the inertial impact causes the butterfly to vibrate violently after it reaches its position, especially under rapid opening and closing conditions, which leads to inaccurate valve opening control and causes the risk of fluid leakage. On the other hand, when the fluid pressure in the pipeline suddenly fluctuates, the butterfly is prone to angular deviation, making it difficult to maintain a stable control opening and thus ensuring stable flow regulation.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an electro-hydraulic drive device for a butterfly valve for valve control, comprising a valve body 1, a valve seat 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve body 1, a connecting device 4 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the valve seat 2, a butterfly wing 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting device 4, the connecting device 4 including a valve stem 41, a sealing ring 42 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the valve stem 41, a toothed ring 43 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve stem 41, a protective shell 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve seat 2, and a hydraulic drive device 7 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 5. The hydraulic cylinder 71 of the electronic regulating device 6 and the hydraulic drive device 7 is connected to the hydraulic system through the first fluid inlet 72 or the second fluid inlet 73. When high-pressure oil is injected from the first fluid inlet 72, it pushes the piston to drive the connecting block 74 and the rack 75 to slide. The rack 75 meshes with the toothed ring 43 on the outer wall of the valve stem 41, driving the valve stem 41 to rotate clockwise and drive the butterfly wing 3 to open. Conversely, when high-pressure oil is injected from the second fluid inlet 73, the rack 75 slides in the opposite direction, the valve stem 41 rotates counterclockwise, the butterfly wing 3 closes, and the sealing ring 42 ensures the sealing performance of the valve stem 41 when it rotates.

[0024] The hydraulic drive device 7 includes a hydraulic cylinder 71, a first fluid inlet 72 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hydraulic cylinder 71, a second fluid inlet 73 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end of the hydraulic cylinder 71 away from the first fluid inlet 72, a connecting block 74 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hydraulic cylinder 71 through a piston, and a rack 75 is fixedly connected to the outer wall at the bottom of the connecting block 74.

[0025] The outer wall of the hydraulic cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 5. The outer walls of the first liquid nozzle 72 and the second liquid nozzle 73 are both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 5. The outer walls of the rack 75 and the connecting block 74 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the valve seat 2. The outer wall of the valve stem 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the butterfly wing 3. The outer side wall of the sealing ring 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the valve seat 2. The gear ring 43 meshes with the rack 75. The hydraulic drive device 7 and the electronic adjustment device 6 work together. The hydraulic system provides high torque driving force through gear transmission to realize the rapid opening and closing of the butterfly wing 3. The electronic adjustment device 6 controls the position of the extrusion plate 65 through the servo motor 66 and uses damping buffer and elastic clamping to buffer the moving inertia of the connecting block 74.

[0026] The electronic adjustment device 6 includes a limit frame 61, a protective block 62 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limit frame 61, a damping rod 63 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective block 62, a compression spring 64 sleeved on the outside of the damping rod 63, a pressing plate 65 fixedly connected to the end of the damping rod 63 away from the protective block 62, a servo motor 66 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limit frame 61, a screw 67 fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 66, a guide block 68 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 67, and one end of the compression spring 64 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pressing plate 65. The other end of 64 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective block 62. The outer wall of the limiting frame 61 is fixedly connected to the end of the damping rod 63 away from the protective block 62. The servo motor 66 of the electronic adjustment device 6 drives the screw 67 to rotate, which drives the guide block 68 to move along the limiting frame 61, so that the extrusion plate 65 is pushed to move along the path of the outer inclined surface of the connecting block 74. When the extrusion plate 65 moves into the inner wall of the limiting frame 61, the structure formed by the damping rod 63 and the compression spring 64 is stretched. The extrusion plate 65 clamps the connecting block 74 by the pre-tightening force after the compression spring 64 is stretched.

[0027] The outer wall of the guide block 68 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the extrusion plate 65, the outer wall of the extrusion plate 65 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limit frame 61, the outer wall of the limit frame 61 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve seat 2, and the inner wall of the limit frame 61 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 74.

[0028] In use, when the electro-hydraulic drive device of the butterfly valve is working, the hydraulic cylinder 71 (model: FESTODGC-50-200-PPV-A) of the hydraulic drive device 7 is connected to the hydraulic system through the first fluid port 72 or the second fluid port 73. When high-pressure oil is injected from the first fluid port 72, it pushes the piston to drive the connecting block 74 and the rack 75 to slide. The rack 75 meshes with the toothed ring 43 on the outer wall of the valve stem 41, driving the valve stem 41 to rotate clockwise and drive the butterfly wing 3 to open. Conversely, when high-pressure oil is injected from the second fluid port 73, the rack 75 slides in the opposite direction, the valve stem 41 rotates counterclockwise, the butterfly wing 3 closes, and the sealing ring 42 ensures the sealing performance when the valve stem 41 rotates.

[0029] The servo motor 66 (model: Panasonic MINASA6 series) of the electronic adjustment device 6 drives the screw 67 to rotate, which drives the guide block 68 to move along the limit frame 61, so that the extrusion plate 65 is pushed to move along the path of the outer inclined surface of the connecting block 74. When the extrusion plate 65 moves into the inner wall of the limit frame 61, the structure formed by the damping rod 63 (model: THKLR3-20) and the compression spring 64 is stretched. The extrusion plate 65 clamps the connecting block 74 by the pre-tightening force after the compression spring 64 is stretched, preventing the butterfly wing 3 from shaking due to hydraulic shock or fluid pressure fluctuation, and ensuring that it is stably positioned at the target opening.

[0030] The hydraulic drive device 7 and the electronic adjustment device 6 work together. The hydraulic system provides high torque driving force through gear transmission to realize the rapid opening and closing of the butterfly wing 3. The electronic adjustment device 6 controls the position of the extrusion plate 65 through the servo motor 66. It uses damping buffer and elastic clamping to buffer the moving inertia of the connecting block 74, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and stability of the butterfly wing 3.
