Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sleeve regulating valve technology, and more specifically, to a novel sleeve regulating valve. Background Technology
[0002] Sleeve control valves are key components in petrochemical equipment, regulating water injection flow by changing the valve opening. Existing sleeve control valves have a valve stem that drives the valve core to rotate within a valve sleeve, which is then housed within the sleeve. This type of valve sealing structure only has an internal sealing ring between the valve stem and the valve sleeve. This seal is located relatively far from the point through which the medium flows. In high-pressure environments, the sealing ring can deform unevenly in the lateral direction. Once this internal sealing ring is damaged, axial leakage of the medium can easily occur, affecting not only the normal operation of the equipment but also causing economic losses due to downtime.

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] According to the novel sleeve regulating valve of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: sleeve 10, valve sleeve 20, valve core 30, valve stem 40, sealing ring 50, clamping flange 60, top cover 70, thrust ball bearing 80, and magnetic steel structure 90. The sleeve 10 has a sleeve receiving cavity along its central axis, with a water inlet port at the bottom and a drain port on the lower side of the sleeve receiving cavity; the upper end of the sleeve receiving cavity is open. The valve sleeve 20 is installed into the sleeve receiving cavity through the open structure at the upper end of the sleeve receiving cavity, and a first guide hole is opened on the side of the valve sleeve 20, corresponding to and communicating with the drain port. The valve sleeve 20 has a valve core receiving cavity along its central axis, and multiple first annular sealing grooves are opened on its inner and outer sides. The valve core 30 is rotatably installed in the valve core receiving cavity around its axis, with a connecting hole at the center of the upper section of the valve core 30 and a connecting hole at the center of the lower section of the valve core 30 corresponding to the water inlet port. For the vertical guide holes that are connected in parallel, the lower section of the valve core 30 has a horizontal guide hole that connects the vertical guide hole and the first guide hole in the radial direction. When the valve core 30 rotates, the common hollow cross-sectional area of the horizontal guide hole and the first guide hole is adjusted to control the liquid flow rate. The medium flows out through the first guide hole and the drain port of the sleeve 10. Multiple second annular sealing grooves are opened on the outer wall of the valve core 30. The multiple second annular sealing grooves are located on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal guide hole. The upper part of the valve stem 40 is installed in the valve sleeve 20, and the bottom of the valve stem 40 is fixedly connected to the connecting hole of the upper section of the valve core 30. The sealing ring 50 achieves multi-stage sealing by fitting and pressing with the first annular sealing groove and the second annular sealing groove.
[0021] In practical use, when liquid flows into valve core 30 from the inlet port, the liquid is stored in the horizontal guide hole. When valve core 30 rotates to have a common hollow cross section with the first guide hole, the liquid flows into the first guide hole and flows out from the drain port. Since multiple second annular sealing grooves are opened on the outer wall of valve core 30, the liquid stored in valve core 30 will not leak axially, thus protecting the equipment.
[0022] Furthermore, the sleeve 10 is rectangular in shape, and the upper port of the sleeve receiving cavity is provided with an annular step structure. The upper end of the valve sleeve 20 is provided with an annular flange structure that matches the annular step structure. The annular flange structure is snapped into the annular step structure. The inner diameter of the water inlet port of the sleeve 10 is smaller than the diameter of the valve core 30.
[0023] Specifically, when disassembling the valve sleeve 20, the valve sleeve 20 can be directly removed through the annular flange structure of the valve sleeve 20. When installing the valve sleeve 20, the valve sleeve 20 can be directly held by hand and clamped onto the annular step structure inside the sleeve 10.
[0024] Furthermore, the inner wall of the first annular sealing groove and the sealing ring 50 achieve a two-stage seal through compression with the valve stem 40; the outer wall of the first annular sealing groove and the sealing ring 50 achieve a multi-stage seal through compression with the sleeve 10; the second annular sealing groove and the sealing ring 50 achieve a multi-stage seal through compression with the valve sleeve 20.
[0025] In practical use, a good sealing environment is achieved between the valve stem 40 and the valve sleeve 20 due to the compression of the first annular sealing groove and the sealing ring; a good sealing environment is also achieved between the valve sleeve 20 and the sleeve 10 due to the compression of the first annular sealing groove and the sealing ring; and a good sealing environment is achieved between the valve core 30 and the valve sleeve 20 due to the compression of the second annular sealing groove and the sealing ring. Even if the second annular sealing groove leaks due to long-term wear and deformation caused by compression and twisting, the liquid can be further protected when flowing through the first annular sealing groove between the valve sleeve 20 and the sleeve 10, preventing further leakage and giving operators sufficient time to replace the sealing ring and maintain the equipment.
[0026] Furthermore, the connecting hole of the valve core 30 is a square hole, the upper part of the valve stem 40 is a cylinder, the bottom of the valve stem 40 is a cuboid, and the square hole of the valve core 30 is fixedly connected to the cuboid of the valve stem 40; two second annular sealing grooves are provided on the outer wall of the valve core 30.
[0027] In use, the square hole of the valve core 30 and the bottom cuboid of the valve stem 40 are directly connected by a tenon and mortise structure, without the need for other parts to assist in the connection, making the connection more convenient.
[0028] Furthermore, the clamping flange 60 is installed on the top opening of the sleeve 10; the clamping flange 60 is a cylinder with a hole at the center, and multiple through holes are evenly distributed outside the central hole, corresponding to multiple threaded holes in the sleeve 10. The clamping flange 60 fixes the valve sleeve 20 inside the sleeve 10 with multiple bolts.
[0029] Furthermore, the top cover 70 is installed inside the valve sleeve 20, the valve sleeve 20 has internal threads, the top cover 70 is cylindrical in shape, and the outer surface is threaded. The top cover 70 fixes the valve core 30 inside the valve sleeve 20 through the internal threads of the valve sleeve 20. Two blind holes of equal diameter are machined on the upper surface of the top cover 70. The blind holes are used to screw the top cover 70 into the internal threads of the sleeve 10.
[0030] In practical use, the top cover 70 and the valve sleeve 20 are tightened by screwing to fix the valve core 30 inside the valve sleeve 20. When installing the valve stem 40, the top cover 70 is unscrewed by manually rotating the blind hole. After connecting the bottom cuboid of the valve stem 40 to the square hole of the valve core 30, the top cover 70 is tightened. Then, the flange 60 is tightened and the valve stem 40 and the valve sleeve 20 are fixed inside the sleeve 10 by multiple bolts.
[0031] Furthermore, the thrust ball bearing 80 is fixed between the top cover 70 and the valve stem 40; the thrust ball bearing 80 includes upper and lower bearing frames and a shaft ring.
[0032] Furthermore, a U-shaped groove is opened at the top of the valve stem 40, which is used to connect the rotating shaft of the external motor, and a through hole is opened on the side of the U-shaped groove.
[0033] Furthermore, the magnetic steel structure 90 is installed in the side opening of the U-shaped groove.
[0034] In practical use, the thrust ball bearing 80 reduces the friction between the valve stem and the valve sleeve and bears the pressure from the axial direction. An external motor drives the valve stem 40 to rotate through a U-shaped groove connection. The magnetic steel structure is used to provide feedback on the valve status.
[0035] In general, when installing the valve stem 40, manually rotate the blind hole to unscrew the top cover 70, connect the bottom cuboid of the valve stem 40 to the square hole of the valve core 30, and then tighten the top cover 70. The top cover 70 and the valve sleeve 20 are tightened with threads to fix the valve core 30 inside the valve sleeve 20. The clamping flange 60 is fixed inside the sleeve 10 with multiple bolts to fix the valve stem 40 and the valve sleeve 20. When the liquid flows into the valve core 30 from the inlet port, the liquid is stored in the horizontal guide hole. The external motor drives the valve stem 40 to rotate through the U-shaped groove connection, thereby driving the valve core 30 to rotate around the axis. When the valve core 30 rotates to have a common hollow cross section with the first guide hole, the liquid flows into the first guide hole and flows out from the drain port. Since there are multiple second annular sealing grooves on the outer wall of the valve core 30, the liquid stored in the valve core 30 will not leak axially, thus forming the first line of defense inside the sleeve regulating valve. If the second annular sealing groove leaks due to long-term wear, compression, and torsion, further protection can be provided when the liquid flows through the first annular sealing groove between the valve sleeve 20 and the sleeve 10, preventing further leakage and forming a second line of defense inside the sleeve regulating valve. These two internal lines of defense, combined with the sealing structure of the first annular sealing groove on the outside of the valve sleeve, ultimately make liquid leakage less likely, giving operators ample time to replace the sealing rings and achieving excellent equipment maintenance.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
