Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve device technology, and in particular to a self-operated steam regulating valve. Background Technology
[0002] Self-operated steam control valves require no external energy source (no external power or gas supply). They utilize the energy of the controlled medium itself as the power source. The medium enters the valve body in the direction shown by the arrow, passes through the valve seats and valve core, and flows out through the outlet. When the pressure of the medium upstream reaches above the actuator, the initial preload of the spring is disrupted by the upstream pressure balance, causing the valve stem to move downwards and the valve core to open. The medium flows downstream through the cross-sectional area of the valve core and valve seat, and the downstream pressure enters below the actuator, aligning with the spring force. If the downward thrust generated by the medium is equal to the spring preload (set force), the valve core opening remains unchanged. When the pressure changes, the balance is disrupted. If the downstream pressure is greater than the spring set pressure, the valve opening decreases; conversely, if the downstream pressure is less than the set pressure, the opening increases. Self-operated steam control valves offer advantages such as sensitive operation, energy saving and environmental protection, good sealing, and stable differential pressure. They are widely used in differential pressure control systems for steam in various industrial equipment.
[0003] Existing self-operated steam valves are not convenient for adjusting the spring force. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-regulating steam control valve to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A self-operated steam regulating valve includes a valve body and a valve core. The valve core includes a positioning rod, a guide rod, a return spring, and a partition. The partition is used to divide the interior of the valve body into two non-communicating parts. The partition includes a first vertical plate, a horizontal plate, and a second vertical plate. A through hole is provided at the center of the horizontal plate of the partition. The valve core is used to open and close the through hole. The valve core is fixedly installed on the inner top of the valve body.
[0007] The positioning rod is vertically oriented, with its bottom end passing through the top of the valve body and extending into the interior of the valve body. The positioning rod is collinear with the axis of the through hole. A plug located inside the valve body is fitted onto the bottom end of the positioning rod. A support frame is mounted on the top of the valve body, and a single-cylinder piston is mounted on the top of the support frame. The piston rod of the single-cylinder piston is located at the bottom, with its bottom surface fitting against the top surface of the positioning rod. A protruding disc portion is mounted on the top of the positioning rod. A return spring is coaxial with the positioning rod, with its bottom end fitting against the top of the valve body and its top surface fitting against the bottom of the disc portion. The right-side chamber inside the valve body is connected to the inner top of the single-cylinder piston via a pipe. An adjustment device is mounted on the inner top of the support frame to limit the maximum height of the disc portion.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting device limits the maximum height of the disc, thereby limiting the maximum stroke of the plug away from the through hole, thus achieving control over the maximum steam feed rate. Furthermore, if necessary, the through hole can be completely blocked directly through the cooperation of the adjusting device and the plug, achieving the purpose of shutting off the steam feed when necessary.
[0009] In a further embodiment, multiple guide rods are provided, and the multiple guide rods are axially and evenly arranged around the top periphery of the positioning rod. The top end of each guide rod is fixedly connected to the support frame, and the bottom end of each guide rod passes through the disc portion. The disc portion has a positioning hole that mates with the guide rod. The adjusting device includes a ring and a sleeve. The ring is coaxial with the positioning rod. The top end of each guide rod is provided with a threaded end, and the top end of each guide rod is fitted with a sleeve. The bottom of the sleeve is provided with a downward protrusion, and the bottom end surface of the protrusion fits against the top end surface of the disc portion.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the ring is used to limit and fix the relative position of the bottom end of the guide rod. During processing, the guide rod needs to be fixedly installed on the support frame first, and then the sleeve is screwed on. The bottom end of the sleeve is processed to make the length of the sleeve consistent, so as to avoid the problem of the disc part being tilted due to excessive tolerance.
[0011] In a further embodiment, the plug has a frustum-shaped structure, and a sealing ring is provided on the surface of the plug.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plug moves to the lowest position, the sealing ring and the through hole cooperate to seal the through hole, thereby closing the valve core and reducing the machining accuracy requirements of all components.
[0013] In a further embodiment, the surface of the return spring is coated with anti-corrosion paint, and a waterproof layer is provided on the surface of the return spring.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the waterproof layer is a flexible PE film, which is used to increase the service life of the reset spring and reduce the contact between the reset spring and the air.
[0015] In a further embodiment, the single-cylinder piston consists of a piston cylinder and a piston rod. The piston cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame, and the opening of the piston cylinder faces downward.
[0016] In a further embodiment, the inner wall of the through hole is a conical surface.
[0017] The above technical solution is used in conjunction with the plug.
[0018] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. By limiting the maximum height of the disc section through the adjustment device, the maximum stroke of the plug away from the through hole is limited, thereby controlling the maximum steam feed rate. In case of necessity, the through hole can be completely blocked directly through the cooperation of the adjustment device and the plug, achieving the purpose of shutting off the steam feed when necessary.
