Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical equipment technology, and in particular to an adjustable support tool for positioning valve body guide rails for special valves in PDH reactors. Background Technology

[0002] In the chemical industry, a PDH unit is an industrial unit for the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene. Its core function is to use a reactor to convert propane (CH8) into high-value-added propylene (CH6) through a catalytic reaction.

[0003] Reactor-specific valves are special-function valves used in core equipment such as chemical reactors. Their main function is to precisely control the flow, pressure, and isolation of reactants under harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosive media, or high-purity media, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the reaction process. In PDH processes, reactor-specific valves are mainly used in catalyst regeneration systems and product gas compression circulation, and must withstand high temperatures (500–650℃) and hydrogen environments. See also Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the guide rail 2' inside the valve body in the prior art. In the prior art, the valve plate moves along the guide rail 2'.

[0004] The applicant has discovered at least the following technical problems in the existing technology: the special valve of the PDH unit reactor needs to be disassembled for maintenance and replacement of spare parts after a certain period of operation. When reinstalling the valve body guide rail, the following problems occur: due to the inability to ensure that the guide rail remains balanced during the reinstallation process, the required welding strength cannot be met, resulting in post-weld cracks; improper installation of the guide rail leads to damage to the guide rail and deformation of the guide rail body; during the installation of the guide rail, the parallelism of the guide rail is poor, and the weld between the guide rail and the valve body is prone to cracking in a short period of time.

The various technical effects of the preferred technical solution among the many technical solutions provided by this utility model are described in detail below.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] This utility model provides an adjustable support tool for positioning the valve body guide rail of a special valve in a PDH reactor. It can ensure the parallelism of the two guide rail bodies, prevent the weld seam after the guide rail and valve body are welded from cracking in a short time, and ensure the stable movement of the special valve.

[0032] The following is combined Figures 2-5 The technical solution provided by this utility model will be described in more detail.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] See Figures 2-5As shown, the adjustable support tool for positioning the valve body guide rail of the special valve of the PDH reactor provided by this utility model includes a first limiting bar 51, a second limiting bar 52, a locking member 3, and a limiting member 4. One end of the locking member 3 is fixedly connected to the first limiting bar 51, and the first limiting bar 51 abuts against one of the guide rail bodies. The other end of the locking member 3 is a threaded section, which is threadedly connected to the corresponding limiting member 4. The limiting member 4 has a limiting plane 41. Rotating the limiting member 4 can adjust the position of the limiting plane 41. After the position of the limiting plane 41 is adjusted, all limiting planes 41 abut against the second limiting bar 52. The second limiting bar 52 abuts against another guide rail body 2, thereby adjusting the distance between corresponding positions of the two guide rail bodies 2, and thus adjusting the parallelism of the two guide rail bodies 2.

[0035] The valve body guide rail structure of the reactor special valve provided by this utility model is used by first fixing one end of the locking member 3 to the first limiting strip 51. The first limiting strip 51 abuts against one of the guide rail bodies. The limiting member 4 is rotated to adjust the position of the limiting member 4 on the locking member 3, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting plane 41. After the position of the limiting plane 41 is adjusted, all the limiting planes 41 abut against the second limiting strip 52. The positioned second limiting strip 52 is used to abut against another guide rail body 2. The above tool, by pre-adjusting the parallelism of the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52, ensures the spacing between corresponding positions of the guide rail bodies 2, thereby adjusting the parallelism of the two guide rail bodies and preventing the weld seam after the guide rail and valve body are welded from cracking in a short time, thus ensuring the stable movement of the special valve.

[0036] See Figure 4 As shown, the limiting member 4 is provided with a threaded hole 42, which is threadedly connected to the threaded section of the corresponding locking member 3, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting plane 41 and adjusting the spacing between the corresponding positions of the first limiting bar 51 and the second limiting bar 52.

[0037] As an optional implementation, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple locking components 3, all of which are arranged at intervals along the length of the guide rail body 2. The spacing between two adjacent locking components 3 is equal.

[0038] The above structure can limit the inclination of the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52, that is, adjust the distance between different positions of the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52 to make the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52 parallel. After the second limiting strip 52 abuts against the corresponding guide rail body 2, it ensures that the two guide rail bodies 2 are parallel.

[0039] The locking component 3 can be implemented by combining the welded end head 32 with the screw body 31, which is used to establish an adjustable connection between the two limiting strips 5. The limiting component 4 refers to a threaded adjustment device with a limiting plane 41, which can be implemented by a hexagonal nut structure with a planar contact surface. The threaded rotation drives the limiting plane 41 to move, thereby achieving precise control of the distance between the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52.

[0040] Specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, all locking components 3 are welded at one end to the first limiting strip 5 to form an initial connection point. The inner side of one guide rail body 2 abuts against the first limiting strip 51. When the limiting component 4 is rotated, its limiting plane 41 moves along the thread axis. Adjust the position of the limiting plane 41. After all the limiting planes 41 are adjusted, the second limiting strip 52 is attached to the limiting plane 41. Measure the parallelism of the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52. If the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52 are parallel, then attach the other guide rail body 2 to the plane of the second limiting strip 52, and the two guide rail bodies 2 will be parallel. If there is an installation error in the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52, continue to adjust the position of the upper limiting plane 41 of the corresponding limiting component 4 until the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52 are parallel.

[0041] The gap between the guide rail bodies is adjusted by the adjustable limiting component 4. After spot welding, slide welding is performed. After the guide rail body 2 is welded into the valve body, the offset of the guide rail body 2 after welding is ≤0.1mm. This solves the problems of large offset, guide rail deformation, and guide rail cracks. The tool is removed after the guide rail is welded and fixed. The tool is made of high-strength stainless steel to prevent stress deformation of the guide rail during the welding process. The locking and limiting components are evenly distributed and have a certain degree of flatness and smoothness to avoid damage to the sealing surface of the valve body guide rail.

[0042] The parallelism between the first limiting bar 51 and the second limiting bar 52, and the parallelism between the two guide rail bodies 2, can be measured by existing technologies such as a level or laser measuring instrument.

[0043] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the locking component 3 includes a screw body 31 and an end head 32 that are fixedly connected, wherein: the end head 32 is welded and fixed to the first limiting strip 51, and the screw body 31 is threadedly connected to the limiting component 4. The screw body 31 and the end head 32 are integrally formed structures.

[0044] With the above structure, turning the limiting member 4 makes it easy to adjust the position of the limiting member 4 on the screw body 31, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting plane 41.

[0045] See Figure 4 As shown, the cross-section of the limiting member 4 is a polygonal structure, which makes it easy to tighten using auxiliary tools such as wrenches.

[0046] See Figure 5 As shown, positions a, b, c, d, and e along the length of the second limiting strip 52 abut against the limiting plane 41 of the limiting member 4. By adjusting the positions a, b, c, d, and e of the second limiting strip 52, the distance between it and the first limiting strip 51 can be adjusted, thereby ensuring the parallelism between the first limiting strip 51 and the second limiting strip 52.

[0047] See Figure 2 As shown, the guide rail inside the special valve body of the PDH reactor is kept parallel by the above-mentioned tool to prevent welding deformation in a short time. After the guide rail body is welded and fixed, the tool can be removed without affecting the use.

[0048] The valve body guide rail positioning adjustable support tool (the wording here is incomplete), the guide rail body 2 is fixed on the inner wall of the valve body.
