Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valves in water conservancy projects, and in particular relates to a multi-stage composite energy dissipation cone valve. Background Technology

[0002] Existing energy-dissipating cone valves mostly adopt a single cone valve core or a single-layer energy-dissipating cover structure. In high-head (e.g., ≥100m) flood discharge and reservoir drainage scenarios, the following core problems exist: 1. Concentrated water flow impacts the downstream foundation of the valve body, which can easily cause erosion and shorten the service life of the project; 2. The friction between the high-speed water flow and the valve body wall generates strong cavitation, which causes the valve core and energy dissipation cover to wear out too quickly, requiring frequent maintenance; 3. A single energy dissipation path cannot achieve step-by-step pressure reduction, resulting in insufficient energy dissipation efficiency, easy generation of pipeline vibration, and impact on system stability.

[0003] Existing technologies attempt to optimize energy dissipation through multi-stage flow guides, but fail to incorporate the impact resistance of the spherical crown structure; they only focus on valve opening and closing functions and do not form a collaborative design with energy dissipation networks and multi-stage flow guides, thus failing to meet the dual requirements of "high-efficiency energy dissipation + damage resistance and durability" in high-head scenarios.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of support rods are circumferentially mounted on one end of the conical valve seat, and one end of each support rod is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the energy dissipation shroud.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-7As shown, a multi-stage composite energy-dissipating conical valve includes a conical valve 1, an energy-dissipating hood 2, and an air supply pipe 3. The energy-dissipating hood 2 is installed around the discharge end of the conical valve 1, and a first energy-dissipating mesh 21 and a second energy-dissipating mesh 22 are arranged axially inside the energy-dissipating hood 2. The first and second energy-dissipating meshes 21 and 22 sequentially divide the space inside the energy-dissipating hood 2 into a first energy-dissipating space, a second energy-dissipating space 24, and a horizontal flow space 23. An air supply pipe 3 is installed on the energy-dissipating hood 2 and connects to the first energy-dissipating space. The pressurized medium flowing out of the conical valve 1 can sequentially pass through the first and second energy-dissipating meshes 21 and 22 to release energy and dissipate it into the horizontal flow space 23. The horizontal flow space 23 is coated with a wear-resistant coating of the prior art to improve the product's service life and reduce water flow friction and wear. In this application, the conical valve 1 itself is a first-stage energy-dissipating unit. The system uses a conical valve core to guide the water flow in a fan shape for initial dispersion, achieving a first pressure reduction (pressure reduction range of 40%-50%). Then, the water is further dissipated through the first energy dissipation net 21 and the second energy dissipation net 22. In this embodiment, the outlet end of the air supply pipe 3 is higher than the horizontal plane of the energy dissipation cover 2, and the outlet end of the air supply pipe 3 is higher than the head height of the pressurized medium to prevent pressurized water from escaping through the air supply pipe 3. In this embodiment, the function of the air supply pipe 3 is to discharge the air dissolved in the pressurized water and the gas released by the water temperature change, avoiding the formation of "air plugs" at the high point of the pipe that block the water flow, or the pipe vibration and noise (water hammer phenomenon) caused by gas impact. In addition, when the system (such as the water intake end or the pipe empties) has negative pressure, the air supply pipe 3 can replenish air in time to prevent the pipe from collapsing due to excessive internal and external pressure difference.

[0023] In this embodiment, the outer peripheries of the first energy dissipation mesh 21 and the second energy dissipation mesh 22 are respectively fixedly sleeved onto the inner ring of the energy dissipation cover 2. The first energy dissipation mesh 21 has a hollow frustum structure, and the second energy dissipation mesh 22 has a spherical crown structure. Water-permeable holes are evenly distributed on the first energy dissipation mesh 21 and the end of the first energy dissipation mesh 21 near the discharge end of the conical valve 1 is the small diameter end, and the large diameter end of the first energy dissipation mesh 21 is close to the second energy dissipation mesh 22. The convex surface of the spherical crown of the second energy dissipation mesh 22 faces the first energy dissipation mesh 21. A third energy dissipation mesh 25 is sleeved on the inner ring of the middle part of the first energy dissipation mesh 21, and the third energy dissipation mesh 25 has a hollow frustum structure. The third energy dissipation mesh 25 and the second energy dissipation mesh 22 are aligned. The third energy dissipation net 25 is fixedly connected to the spherical crown convex surface of the second energy dissipation net 22 at its small diameter end. Through the three-stage coordinated energy dissipation of the conical valve 1 core, the spherical crown energy dissipation net, and the conical guide shroud, the total energy dissipation efficiency can reach more than 90%. Compared with the traditional conical valve 1, it reduces the downstream scouring force by 40%-50%. The spherical crown energy dissipation net buffers the water flow impact, and with the wear-resistant coating of the outlet guide section, the cavitation wear rate is reduced by more than 60%, and the valve service life is extended by 2-3 times. The valve core opening can be adjusted by the drive control component to adapt to working conditions with a head of 50-300m and a flow rate of 50-500m³ / h, meeting the needs of multiple scenarios such as hydropower stations, large reservoirs, and urban flood control.

[0024] like Figure 7 As shown, the conical valve 1 includes a valve body 11, with an assembly flange fitted around the valve body 11. One end of the energy dissipation cover 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the assembly flange. A sliding sleeve 12 is slidably disposed around the discharge end of the valve body 11. The sliding sleeve 12 is located in the inner ring of the energy dissipation cover 2 and is coaxially disposed with the energy dissipation cover 2. Multiple first guide plates 13 are installed circumferentially around the inner ring of the discharge end of the valve body 11. One end of each first guide plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the conical end of the conical valve seat 15. One end of the sliding sleeve 12 can abut against the outer periphery of the conical valve seat 15. A drive assembly 4 is installed on the valve body 11. The drive assembly 4 can drive the sliding sleeve 12 to slide along the axial track of the conical valve seat 15. Multiple support rods 14 are installed circumferentially around one end of the conical valve seat 15. One end of each support rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the energy dissipation cover 2. The multiple support rods 14 can stabilize the relative position of the valve seat 15 and the energy dissipation cover 2 to prevent them from shifting.

[0025] Two adjacent first guide plates 13 can form a first energy dissipation channel; multiple second guide plates 26 are installed circumferentially around the first energy dissipation net 21, and one end of each second guide plate 26 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the energy dissipation cover 2. Two adjacent second guide plates 26 form a second energy dissipation channel, and the first energy dissipation channel is connected to the second energy dissipation channel.

[0026] A third energy dissipation net 25 is set at the center of the first energy dissipation net 21. The outer wall of the first energy dissipation net 21 is provided with 3-5 second guide plates 26. The second energy dissipation channel is formed between two adjacent second guide plates 26. The first energy dissipation channel and the second energy dissipation channel are connected. The pressurized medium will flow from the first energy dissipation channel into the second energy dissipation channel. During the process, the frictional resistance between air and water flow is used to achieve a second pressure reduction (pressure reduction range of 25%-35%). A second energy dissipation net 22 in the shape of a spherical crown is coaxially set at the rear section of the first energy dissipation net 21. The second energy dissipation net 22 adopts a high-strength stainless steel mesh with honeycomb-shaped holes. The convex surface of the spherical crown faces the direction of the incoming flow. The spherical crown structure disperses the impact force of the water flow. At the same time, the water flow is cut through the mesh holes to achieve a third pressure reduction (pressure reduction range of 25%-30%). The drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41, a lead screw, a slide rail 42, and a slider 43. The sliding sleeve 12 has a threaded hole through which the lead screw is threadedly connected. The lead screw is parallel to the cone valve seat 1. The slider 43 is mounted on the inner ring of the sliding sleeve 12. The slide rail 42 is located around the discharge end of the valve body 11. One end of the slider 43 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the slide rail 42. The drive motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the valve body 11, and its output end is connected to a gearbox to drive the lead screw to rotate. A displacement detection device is provided between the sliding sleeve 12 and the valve body 11. The displacement detection device can be any of the existing encoders, grating rulers or displacement sensors. The displacement detection device signal is connected to the controller, which can be a microcontroller or PLC. The control system of the controller can achieve precise adjustment of the valve core opening (adjustment accuracy ±0.1mm) to adapt to different flow requirements.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cone valve seat 1 is made of 2Cr13 stainless steel (corrosion resistant), the spherical crown-shaped second energy dissipation mesh 22 is made of 316L stainless steel wire (wire diameter 1.2-1.5mm, mesh size 8-10mm), the first energy dissipation mesh 21 and the third energy dissipation mesh 25 are made of Q345R steel plate (thickness 8-12mm), the inner wall of the outlet horizontal flow space 23 is sprayed (coating thickness 0.3-0.5mm), and the energy dissipation cover 2 is bolted to the valve body 11 through a stepped mounting groove to ensure that the coaxiality error is ≤0.05mm and to ensure transmission accuracy. The controller controls the system to set different valve core openings (0%-100%), monitors the outlet water pressure and velocity, and ensures that the outlet flow velocity is stable at 3-5m / s under the design head, without obvious vibration.

[0028] The control method in this embodiment is controlled by a controller. The controller circuit can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this document is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, and the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
