Sealing structure of rotating wedge-type valve
Technical field
The present invention relates to adopt rotation mode to carry out the General valve sealing configuration of switch, especially be applicable to hard sealing, middle-size and small-size General valve structure Design.
Background technique
The sealability of valve and sealing reliability be valve design with make in maximum difficult point, the space of movable part is big more usually, sealing implements just difficult more.Valve seal is divided into external sealed and interior sealing, and under the situation of equivalent material and impacting force, external sealed is relevant with the forms of motion of valve operation bar, the operating stem of gate valve, stop valve is sealed into the sealing that endwisely slips, space is bigger, and external sealed just implements difficulty, and reliability is also relatively poor.The operating stem of butterfly valve, ball valve, stopcock is sealed into a rotary seal, and space is less, the valve body profile is compacter, external sealed implements and is easier to, reliability is also better.Therefore carry out valve applications more extensive of switch with rotation mode.Because the radial dimension of operating stem is less, external sealed still is easier to solve but generally speaking,, and interior sealing is because latus rectum is bigger, simultaneously in order to reduce the valve resistance behind the valve opening as much as possible, the space of movable part solves also much more difficult than big of the space of operating stem more.Following discussion is only at interior sealing, and therefore following sealing one speech is exactly only to refer to interior sealing.
Realize that the valve excellent sealing need solve the problem of three aspects, the one, make motive sealing face and static seal face good fit; The 2nd, make motive sealing face the static seal face and apply enough, uniform pressure, reach certain seal pressure; The 3rd, the automatic compensation of sealing surface wear.
For first is exactly to guarantee that motive sealing face is consistent with the shape of static seal face with sufficiently high machining accuracy, and reaches sufficiently high Location accuracy, and motive sealing face is constant substantially with the relative position of static seal face when promptly closing at every turn.
For second means that can adopt two big classes are arranged:
1, (normally the static seal face is made by elastic material to add elastic material on static seal face or motive sealing face, for example ordinary ball valve, elasticity ball valve and common butterfly valve etc.), make in this way and can't realize thirdly, be the automatic compensation of sealing surface wear, therefore wear resistance and the cutting property of scratch resistance to elastic material has very high requirement;
2, when closing, the motion of the motive sealing face of making has increment (for example stop valve, floating ball valve, Wedge gate valve, three eccentric butterfly valve etc.) in the Normal direction of static seal face, so just can exert pressure, and can realize the automatic compensation of sealing surface wear the static seal face.Following discussion just concentrates on the 2nd class means.
Because the motive sealing face of stop valve, Wedge gate valve is straight-line, (floating ball valve near sealing the time also can straight line motion) therefore makes the motion of motive sealing face have increment to realize easily in the Normal direction of static seal face.Usually this increment is compared very little with the amount of exercise of motive sealing face, so just can on sealing surface, produce bigger seal pressure with less steering force, the method is commonly referred to wedging, be following narration convenience, the method is defined as: the process that enters sealing state is " asymptotic ", and the process that breaks away from sealing state is " gradually from ".
For the purpose of clear the description, set up following system of coordinates earlier: initial point is in the geometrical center of valve.The direction that fluid passes the static seal face is a Y-axis, if operating stem perpendicular to Y-axis (for example ball valve, Wedge gate valve), the center of operating stem is an X-axis, the direction vertical with the XY face is the Z axle; If operating stem consistent with the direction that fluid passes the static seal face (for example stop valve), vertical with Y-axis is the XZ face.
The dynamic and static sealing surface of Wedge gate valve all is to be stretched along Z axle straight line by two sections straight line y=± ax+b on the XY face to form.Because:
Wherein a is a less constant, is generally a=0.01~0.15.Therefore, when motive sealing when closing direction moves, the motion of motive sealing face X-axis direction will make the straight line y of straight line y=± ax+b on the static seal face on the motive sealing face
0=± ax
0+ b " parallel asymptotic ", corresponding motive sealing face is also just parallel asymptotic to the static seal face.When material evenly, when two the plane is smooth, dynamic seal is enough firm (can not be out of shape), thisly parallelly asymptoticly will make motive sealing apply uniform pressure towards the static seal face.
Above-mentionedly can be described as double wedge by two sections Wedge gate valve that form about the straight line y=± ax+b of X-axis symmetry, also available in addition y=ax+b forms dynamic and static sealing surface with two straight lines of straight line y=a parallel with X-axis, can be described as the single face wedge.Because double wedge is had relatively high expectations for symmetric, processing is got up complicated.And the single face wedge has a face is the plane parallel with the operating stem center line, realize high-precision processing easily, but its shortcoming be when motive sealing when closing direction moves, in motive sealing when the static seal face is exerted pressure, operating stem is also with pressurized or produce center line along the Y-axis translation, and this may will exert an influence to external sealed.
At present at operating stem and dynamic seal is rigidly connected and carry out with rotation mode in the valve of switch, have only three eccentric butterfly valve to use asymptotic means, but be not parallel asymptotic, therefore to exert pressure towards the static seal face also be uneven in the motive sealing of three eccentric butterfly valve, the automatic compensation of its sealing surface wear is also inhomogeneous, causes its part near X-axis to occur easily leaking.Because rotation class valve has other various advantages, if can realize making motive sealing parallel asymptotic the rotation of dynamic seal, will further improve the sealability of rotation class valve, and simplify valve mechanism, reduced volume towards the static seal face.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is to carry out with rotation mode in the valve of switch, just can make motive sealing apply sealing structure of rotating wedge-type valve enough, uniform pressure towards the static seal face with less moment of torsion.
The technical solution adopted for the present invention to solve the technical problems is: sealing structure of rotating wedge-type valve, comprise valve body and be arranged in the Seal cage on the runner of valve body and can be with respect to the dynamic seal of valve body rotation, the static seal face that is arranged on the runner of valve body constitutes sealing pair with the motive sealing face that is arranged on the dynamic seal, it is characterized in that: operating stem and dynamic seal are rigidly connected, when dynamic seal when closing direction rotates, the motive sealing face on the sealing pair moves in parallel asymptotic mode with respect to the static seal face.
The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: this valve combines the characteristics of ball valve, butterfly valve, allow movable valve rotatablely move, owing to adopted motive sealing towards the parallel asymptotic technological scheme of static seal face, motive sealing face only just has a spot of slip after fitting with the static seal face, belong to accurate harmless sealing configuration, sealability simple in structure, compact, interior can reach high-level, and external sealed solves easily.This sealing configuration both can be used for hard sealing and also can be used for soft seal, the sealing reliability height.And enough, uniform pressure can be provided with less switch moment, reach the desired seal specific pressure.Because simple in structure, compact, production and processing is easy, cost is low.Can be widely used in and require sealability height, medium two-way flow, middle-size and small-size flow, high temperature resistant, long lifetime, switch is frequent and switching speed is fast General valve structure.In addition, use its static and dynamic sealing body of valve of the valve of this design of Sealing Structure and common soft sealing structure about the same, therefore, can simply transform with the valve of common soft sealing structure fully, just it can be become hard sealing, high temperature resistant, long-life high performance valve.
