The main performance and index of the self-operated pressure interval flow valve are as follows: 1) Setting pressure deviation: 2% set pressure; 2) Exceeding the pressure: setting pressure is less than or equal to 8%; 3) Opening and closing differential pressure: setting pressure is less than or equal to 8 percent. The self-operated pressure interval flow valve is characterized in that: 1) The action performance and the opening height are not affected by the back pressure; 2) The hard sealing material is adopted, so that good sealing performance of the valve before and after the action is ensured; 3) The valve can be fully opened and fully closed under smaller excess pressure; 4) The adjusting pressure and the opening and closing pressure difference can be conveniently adjusted.
For example, when the pipeline pressure where the valve is located is changed from 0 to C (MPa), that is, the maximum pressure of the pipeline connected with the valve is C (MPa), the opening pressure of the first one-way valve 36 is A (MPa), the opening pressure of the second one-way valve 37 is B (MPa), wherein 0 < A < B < C (MPa), the valve is opened to enable the pipeline to circulate when reaching a specific pressure interval A-B (MPa), and the valve is closed to enable the pipeline to be blocked when not reaching the specific pressure interval. Referring to fig. 1 to 7, the control method of the self-operated pressure interval flow valve includes the following steps:
(1) When the pipeline pressure of the valve reaches A (MPa), the thrust of the piston 30 of the first one-way valve 36 reaches the pre-pressing force of the pressure regulating spring 31, so that the channel of the first one-way valve 36 circulates, a medium enters the pressure difference valve 21 from the small hole x in front of the valve and enters the lower part of the valve rod 7 through the pressure difference valve 21, and the valve rod 7 is lifted to open by means of the upward thrust of the medium;
(2) When the pressure of the pipeline where the valve is positioned is increased to B (MPa), the thrust of the piston 33 of the second one-way valve 37 reaches the pre-tightening pressure of the pressure regulating spring 34, so that the channel of the second one-way valve 37 circulates, a medium enters the upper part of the valve rod 7 through the pressure difference valve 21, and the valve rod 7 is pushed to move downwards to the valve closing state by virtue of the downward thrust of the medium;
(3) When the pipeline pressure of the valve falls below B (MPa), the passage of the second one-way valve 37 is closed, the medium reenters the lower part of the valve rod 7 through the differential pressure valve 21, the valve rod 7 ascends to open the valve, and the medium above the valve rod 7 is discharged to the small hole y behind the valve through the third one-way valve 38;
(4) When the pipe pressure of the valve falls further below a (MPa), the passage of the first check valve 36 is also closed, medium no longer enters the differential pressure valve 21 from the pre-valve orifice x, medium below the valve stem 7 is discharged through the differential pressure valve 21 to the post-valve orifice y, and the valve stem 7 descends again to close the valve.
In the embodiment of the present invention, in the step (1), when the channel of the first check valve 36 circulates, the medium enters the inner cavity of the cylinder 17 in the piston (i.e. the ninth air chamber q) through the small hole x in front of the valve on the left side of the valve, and the valve rod 7 is jacked up to open the valve by the thrust of the medium.
The method comprises the following steps: when the pressure is gradually increased after the medium is introduced into the pipeline where the valve is positioned, the valve is in a closed state, and the medium enters the small hole x in front of the valve through the valve inlet, as shown in fig. 8; a first orifice X1, see fig. 8 and 9, which flows along the valve front orifice X of the valve body 1 toward the valve cover 12; after exiting the first orifice X1 of the valve cap 12, the medium flows into the second orifice X2 of the valve cap 12, see fig. 9, flows into the main valve body 15 of the differential pressure valve 21 through the second orifice X2 of the valve cap 12, reaches the piston 30 of the first check valve 36, and thus the pressure does not reach the preload of the pressure regulating spring 31 of the first check valve 36, so that the piston 30 of the first check valve 36 is in a closed state, see fig. 10, and the medium also fails to enter the first air chamber a of the differential pressure valve 21. As the pressure rises to a mpa, the thrust of the medium pressure on the piston 30 of the first check valve 36 reaches the pretightening force set by the pressure regulating spring 31, the piston 30 of the first check valve 36 opens, see fig. 11, the medium enters the first air chamber a and the second air chamber b, the main piston 29 and the auxiliary piston 32 of the differential pressure valve 21 are at the left side position due to the pretightening force of the spring in the second air chamber b, and the second air chamber b is communicated with the third air chamber c, see fig. 11. Since the system pressure does not reach B mpa, the piston 33 of the second one-way valve 37 is in the closed state, the passage is not open, see fig. 12; the medium enters the inner cavity of the cylinder 17 in the piston (namely, the ninth air chamber q) through the third air chamber c through the third small hole X3 of the main valve body 15, at this time, the fifth air chamber e is in a closed state due to the fact that the system pressure does not reach B mpa, the piston 33 of the second one-way valve 37 is not communicated, see fig. 13, so that no medium flows into the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 16 (namely, the seventh air chamber g), at this time, no medium enters from the small hole y after the valve because the valve is in a closed state, and no medium exists because the sixth air chamber f is communicated with the small hole y after the valve. Thus, the ninth air chamber q forms a pressure chamber pushing the piston cylinder 17 upward, and the valve opens to circulate the pipe, see fig. 14 and 15.
In the embodiment of the invention, in the step (2), when the pipeline pressure is increased to B (MPa), the main piston 32 and the auxiliary piston 32 of the differential pressure valve 21 move to the right to the sealing surface of the piston to block the medium from reaching the inner cavity of the middle cylinder 17 of the piston (namely, the ninth air chamber q), meanwhile, as the channel of the second one-way valve 37 circulates, the medium reaches the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 19 of the piston (namely, the eighth air chamber h) and pushes the valve rod 7 to move downwards to the valve to be closed by means of the medium thrust, and as the inner cavity area of the outer cylinder 19 of the piston is larger than the inner cavity area of the middle cylinder 17 of the piston, the problem that the valve medium flows backwards through the small hole y behind the valve on the right side of the valve is effectively solved.
The method comprises the following steps: when the pressure of the system pipeline continues to rise to B megapascals, the difference between the thrust generated by the medium on the piston surface of the first air chamber a and the thrust generated by the medium on the piston surface of the second air chamber B reaches the pretightening force set by the spring of the second air chamber B, the main piston 29 and the auxiliary piston 32 of the differential pressure valve 21 move rightwards and gradually make the sealing surfaces between the second air chamber B and the third air chamber c form a sealing pair, as shown in fig. 16; as the system pipe pressure continues to rise to B mpa, the thrust force generated by the pressure on the piston 33 of the second check valve 37 reaches the pretightening force set by the pressure regulating spring 34, the piston 33 of the second check valve 37 is opened, see fig. 17 and 18, the medium enters the eighth air chamber h through the small hole communicating with the eighth air chamber h through the seventh air chamber g, the main piston 29 and the auxiliary piston 32 of the differential pressure valve 21 move rightward to make the two paths of flow paths of the first flow path Y1 and the second flow path Y2 of the fifth air chamber e communicated, the first flow path Y1 enters the ninth air chamber q through the differential pressure valve 21, see fig. 19, and the second flow path Y2 flows into the valve rear pipe from the valve rear small hole Y after flowing into the valve cover 12 through the differential pressure valve 21. Because the contact area of the medium in the eighth air chamber h to the cylinder 17 in the piston is larger than the contact area of the medium in the ninth air chamber q to the cylinder 17 in the piston, the pressure difference generated by the medium causes the valve rod 7 to move downwards, as shown in fig. 19, the first flow passage Y1 and the second flow passage Y2 of the fifth air chamber e are communicated, the valve rod 7 moves downwards so that the medium in the ninth air chamber q flows into the pipeline behind the valve from the small hole Y behind the valve after sequentially flowing through the fifth air chamber e and the second flow passage Y2, and finally the valve is closed to separate the pipeline.
In the embodiment of the invention, in the step (3), when the pressure of the pipeline is lower than B (MPa), the main piston 32 and the auxiliary piston 32 of the differential pressure valve 21 move leftwards by virtue of the thrust of a spring, the medium reenters the inner cavity of the middle cylinder 17 of the piston, the valve rod 7 rises to open the valve so as to enable the pipeline to circulate, and meanwhile, the inner cavity pressure of the outer cylinder 16 of the valve is decompressed to the small hole y behind the valve (namely the pipeline behind the valve) through the third one-way valve 38, so that the flexibility of opening and closing the valve is ensured.
The method comprises the following steps: when the system pressure is reduced below B megapascals again, the main piston 32 and the auxiliary piston 32 of the differential pressure valve 21 return to the left side again, meanwhile, the piston 33 of the second one-way valve 37 is closed, the medium enters the ninth air chamber q again and cannot enter the eighth air chamber h, at the moment, the medium in the ninth air chamber q generates thrust to the piston middle cylinder 17 to pull the valve rod 7 to move upwards to open the valve again, the main piston 29 and the auxiliary piston 32 of the differential pressure valve 21 move leftwards, two flow passage small holes of the sixth air chamber f are communicated, as shown in fig. 11, the medium in the eighth air chamber h reaches the sixth air chamber f through the third one-way valve 38 after passing through the seventh air chamber g, as shown in fig. 20 and 21, and finally flows into the rear valve pipeline through the rear valve small hole y, and the rear valve medium cannot flow back to the seventh air chamber g through the rear valve small hole y due to the effect of the third one-way valve 38, so that the differential pressure valve 21 can work normally.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the system pressure continues to decrease below a mpa in step (4), the piston 30 of the first check valve 36 is closed, the valve is closed again, and the pipe is blocked and does not circulate.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but can be modified, equivalent, and modified in any way by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
