Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of throttle valve technology, specifically a straight-through cage-type throttle valve. Background Technology
[0002] Cage-type throttle valves utilize the movement of their plunger up and down within an orifice-filled cage to create different flow areas, thereby controlling the flow rate and pressure of the medium. This throttles the medium in the pipeline, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system. Their structural design typically includes key components such as the valve body, valve cover, plunger, cage, rotating seal, and throttle orifice. They can effectively cope with harsh working conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, and high corrosion, and are therefore widely used in oil and gas drilling and production operations.
[0003] The existing straight-through cage-type throttle valves have a relatively complex structure, and the disassembly and assembly of the plunger and cage are difficult. This results in low production efficiency during valve production and assembly, and it is also troublesome to replace the internal components of the valve. Therefore, a straight-through cage-type throttle valve is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0025] A straight-through cage-type throttle valve includes a valve body assembly 1, a lower valve cover assembly 2, an upper valve cover assembly 3, a cage assembly 4, a plunger assembly 5, and a drive assembly 6. The valve body assembly 1 includes a valve body 11. Pipe connection flanges 12 are fixedly connected to the openings on both the left and right sides of the valve body 11. A first valve cover connection flange 13 is fixedly connected to the lower opening of the valve body 11, and a second valve cover connection flange 14 is fixedly connected to the upper opening of the valve body 11. Two symmetrically distributed first limiting protrusions 15 are provided on the inner side of the valve body 11. A lower valve cover assembly 2 is provided on the lower side of the valve body assembly 1. The lower valve cover assembly 2 includes a lower valve cover body 21 located directly below the valve body 11. A lower valve cover connection flange 22, detachably connected to the first valve cover connection flange 13, is fixedly connected to the outer side of the lower valve cover body 21. An upper valve cover assembly 3 is provided on the upper side of the valve body assembly 1. The cover assembly 3 includes an upper valve cover body 31 located directly above the valve body 11. An upper valve cover connecting flange 32, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the upper valve cover body 31 and detachably connected to the second valve cover connecting flange 14, is fixedly connected to the outer side of the upper valve cover body 31. A rotating seal 33 is installed in the middle position of the upper valve cover body 31. The valve body assembly 1 has a cage sleeve assembly 4 inside. The cage sleeve assembly 4 includes a cage sleeve body 41 that fits tightly against the inner wall of the valve body 11. A set of flow limiting ports 42 are respectively provided on the lower left and upper right sides of the cage sleeve body 41. Two second limiting protrusions 43 are symmetrically distributed front and rear on the inner side of the cage sleeve body 41. The cage sleeve assembly 4 has a plunger assembly 5 inside. The plunger assembly 5 includes a valve stem 51 located at the center of the cage sleeve assembly 4. A drive shaft 52 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the valve stem 51. Two plunger bodies 53 that are slidably connected to the second limiting protrusions 43 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the valve stem 51.
[0026] A drive assembly 6 is provided on the upper side of the plunger assembly 5. The drive assembly 6 includes a drive motor 61 fixedly connected to the upper side of the upper valve cover body 31. The main shaft of the drive motor 61 is fixedly connected to a transmission sleeve 62. The drive motor 61 can drive the transmission sleeve 62 to rotate, thereby causing the transmission shaft 52 to drive the valve stem 51 to rotate. The first limiting protrusion 15 is inserted into the front and rear side grooves of the cage body 41 respectively. The lower end of the cage body 41 is tightly fitted with the lower valve cover body 21, and the upper end of the cage body 41 is tightly fitted with the upper valve cover body 31. The first limiting protrusion 15 inside the valve body 11, in conjunction with the lower valve cover body 21 and the upper valve cover body 31, can limit the cage body 41. The flow limiting port 42 on the lower left side of the cage body 41 is located directly to the right of the left opening of the valve body 11, and the flow limiting port 4 on the upper right side of the cage body 41 is located on the right side of the left opening of the valve body 11. Located on the right side of the valve body 11, directly to the left of the opening, the plunger body 53, which can move up and down, can partially or completely block the flow-limiting port 42 on the cage body 41, thereby achieving the purpose of flow regulation. The upper end of the valve stem 51 is tightly fitted with the rotating seal 33, and the lower end of the valve stem 51 is rotatably connected to the lower valve cover body 21. The outer side of the valve stem 51 is provided with two sets of symmetrical threaded protrusions. The rotatable valve stem 51 can make the two plunger bodies 53, which are limited by the second limiting protrusion 43, move closer or further apart. The transmission shaft 52 is inserted into the inside of the transmission sleeve 62. The two plunger bodies 53 are symmetrically distributed vertically. The outer side of the plunger bodies 53 is tightly fitted with the inner side of the cage body 41. The two symmetrically distributed plunger bodies 53 can limit the valve stem 51, making the valve stem 51 more stable when rotating.
[0027] Workflow: Before use, the valve body 11 is installed in the pipeline network via the pipe connection flange 12. The transmission sleeve 62 of this device is connected to an external power supply and controller. The transmission sleeve 62 can be controlled by the controller. All of the above are existing technologies. When using this device, the operator can rotate the drive motor 61 through the controller. The drive motor 61 can drive the transmission sleeve 62 to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission shaft 52 to drive the valve stem 51 to rotate. This allows the two plunger bodies 53, which are limited by the second limiting protrusion 43, to move closer or further apart. The cage body 41 can be moved up and down by the plunger bodies 53. By partially or completely blocking the flow-limiting port 42, flow regulation can be achieved. Two symmetrically distributed plunger bodies 53 can limit the valve stem 51, making it more stable during rotation and improving its impact resistance, thus enhancing its stability under the impact of the flowing medium. Furthermore, the combination of two plunger bodies 53 and two sets of flow-limiting ports 42 for throttling allows for a longer service life and maintains high-precision throttling when conveying corrosive or particulate media. When internal components need replacement, personnel can... Remove the upper valve cover connecting flange 32 from the second valve cover connecting flange 14, and remove the upper valve cover body 31. At this time, the drive shaft 52 and drive sleeve 62 are disengaged, and the rotating seal 33 and valve stem 51 are separated. The operator can grab the drive shaft 52 and pull it upward to pull the valve stem 51 and plunger body 53 out from the inside of the cage body 41. Then, remove the lower valve cover connecting flange 22 from the first valve cover connecting flange 13, and remove the lower valve cover body 21. At this time, the cage body 41 inside the valve body 11 and the first limiting protrusion 15 can be dislodged from the valve body 11 by its own weight. The internal components of the device can be replaced. The device can limit the cage body 41 by the first limiting protrusion 15 inside the valve body 11 in conjunction with the lower valve cover body 21 and the upper valve cover body 31, limit the valve stem 51 by the lower valve cover body 21 and the upper valve cover body 31, limit the plunger body 53 by the second limiting protrusion 43 inside the cage body 41, and drive the device by the transmission sleeve 62 in conjunction with the transmission shaft 52. This allows the device to be quickly disassembled and assembled. The device has high production efficiency during production assembly and is easy to operate when replacing its internal components.
