Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve manufacturing technology, and in particular to a valve casting with shock absorption function. Background Technology
[0002] Valves, as core components of fluid control systems, are widely used in petrochemical, power energy, and water supply and drainage industries. In industrial practice, over 65% of valves are installed in environments with mechanical vibration (such as pump station outlets, compressor pipelines, and turbine bypasses). According to the API 570 pipeline vibration standard, when the pipeline vibration velocity exceeds 4.5 mm / s, the risk of valve failure increases significantly, specifically manifested as follows: 1. Systemic failures caused by vibration Seal failure (accounting for 48% of failures) Vibration causes periodic micro-displacements of 5-200 μm between the valve disc and seat, resulting in fretting wear on the sealing surface. For example, in high-temperature steam valves, this wear can reduce the sealing leakage rate from GB / T13927 Class A to Class D within 3 months (test data source: SHELL Valve Reliability Report).
[0003] Loose fasteners (accounting for 31% of failures) When the vibration acceleration is ≥2g, the preload of the valve body bolts decreases by 15% per month (verified by ASME PCC-1 standard). Statistics from a certain oil refinery show that flange leakage caused by this accounts for 24% of the total number of accidents.
[0004] Structural fatigue Under alternating stress, cracks are prone to develop at the root of the valve stem (a typical failure case: the main feedwater valve of a nuclear power plant broke due to 20Hz resonance, resulting in a shutdown loss of $2.3 million).
[0005] 2. Limitations of traditional vibration reduction technology Currently, the industry mainly relies on two types of external vibration damping solutions: Pipeline support system For example, spring hangers and hydraulic dampers have significant defects: The installation requires a large space, with a radial space of ≥300mm. It can only suppress the overall vibration of the pipeline, but cannot block the local vibration energy transmitted to the inside of the valve.
[0006] Valve body reinforcement structure By increasing the wall thickness or adding reinforcing ribs (such as the Class 2500 high-pressure valve of ASME B16.34), actual measurements show that the vibration transmission rate is reduced by only 18%-32% (MSS SP-58 test report), and a weight penalty of 20%-35% is imposed. Utility Model Content
[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a valve casting with shock absorption function. The vibration energy transmission path of this device is as follows: pipeline vibration, valve body, valve seat, shock absorption washer, which causes the shock absorption washer to undergo elastic deformation. According to actual measurement data, it can effectively reduce the amplitude by 70%-80% and reduce water hammer impact by 90%-95%.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a valve casting with shock absorption function, including a valve body and a valve cover formed by casting, wherein a valve seat and a valve disc that cooperates with the valve seat and a valve stem for driving the valve disc are provided in the inner cavity of the valve body, and a built-in shock absorption unit is provided on the casting body corresponding to the mounting surface of the valve seat, the support structure / guide structure of the valve disc or the protruding part of the valve stem.
[0009] Furthermore, the built-in shock absorption unit includes an annular shock absorption washer, which is disposed between the outer periphery of the valve seat and the bottom surface of the valve body and the mounting groove, and is pressed and fixed by fasteners.
[0010] Furthermore, the built-in shock absorption unit includes a shock absorption bushing, which is fixed to the inner wall of the guide groove of the valve body. The valve disc is provided with a guide portion, which is slidably mounted on the shock absorption bushing.
[0011] Furthermore, the built-in shock absorption unit includes a shock absorption bearing bushing, which is disposed in the bearing holes of the valve body, the supporting valve disc, and the rotating shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, the built-in shock absorption unit includes a shock absorption bushing, which is fixed to the valve stem protrusion hole of the valve cover and covers the valve stem.
[0013] Furthermore, the built-in shock absorption unit is fixed by any of the following methods: pre-embedded casting, adhesive bonding, interference fit, or mechanical locking.
[0014] Furthermore, a metal limiting structure is provided around the built-in shock absorption unit.
[0015] Furthermore, the damping bushing extends to the bottom of the filler area.
[0016] Furthermore, both the inlet and outlet ends of the valve body are provided with buffer structures. The buffer structure is a bucket-shaped structure with two small-diameter ends installed opposite each other, and its large-diameter end is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the valve body. A distance is left between the two bucket-shaped structures to form a buffer cavity between the two bucket-shaped structures.
[0017] Furthermore, a partition is provided inside the buffer cavity of the buffer structure. The partition is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the valve body, and multiple through holes are arranged in a circular array near the valve body.

[0022] Example: Combination Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a valve casting with shock absorption function, including a valve body 1 and a valve cover 2 formed by casting. The valve body 1 has a valve seat 3 and a valve disc 4 that cooperates with the valve seat 3, and a valve stem 5 for driving and connecting the valve disc 4. The valve body 1 is made of ASTM A216 Gr.WCB cast steel with a DN50PN40 standard flange interface. The valve cover 2 is connected to the valve body 1 through a flange and is made of the same material as the valve body 1. The valve seat 3 is made of PTFE sealing ring and is interference-fitted into the sealing groove of the valve body 1. The valve disc 4 is a full-bore stainless steel ball with a diameter of φ58mm and surface sprayed with Stellite 6 alloy. The valve stem 5 is made of 1Cr13 stainless steel. The upper end of the valve stem 5 is connected to an electric actuator, and the lower end is connected to a square hole provided on the ball 4. An integrated shock absorption unit is integrally provided on the mounting surface of the valve seat 3, the support structure / guide structure of the valve disc 4, or the protruding part of the valve stem 5 on the corresponding casting body. The built-in damping unit is made of elastic non-metallic material and is embedded in the reserved structure of the casting by pre-embedding, embedding or fixing. The elastic non-metallic material is selected from one or a combination of the following: nitrile rubber, fluororubber, EPDM rubber; high temperature resistant polyurethane; polyetheretherketone, polyimide; flexible graphite composite elastomer. The built-in damping unit is used to absorb the vibration energy transmitted to the valve seat 3, valve disc 4 or valve stem 5.
[0023] The built-in shock absorption unit includes an annular shock absorption washer 6, which is made of annular fluororubber. The annular shock absorption washer 6 is set between the outer periphery of the valve seat 3 and the bottom surface of the valve body 1 and the mounting groove, and is fixed by fasteners.
