Driving device for Manual Wafer Butterfly Valve

The driving device of the manual wafer butterfly valve is mainly the handwheel and the handle. For valves with little torque required for opening and closing, a manual device, handwheel or handle can be used to directly fix the valve stem or valve stem nut. The diameter of the handwheel is based on the relevant standards or the torque required for valve opening and closing. According to the standard, the opening and closing force added to the handwheel or handle cannot exceed 360N, and its shape and size can be in accordance with the provisions of JB/T93-2008. Steel plate, aluminum alloy or plastic pressed handwheels can also be used on manual wafer butterfly valves with smaller nominal size DN. The butterfly valve also has a remote-operated manual device using a universal joint.

Manual Wafer Butterfly Valve Handle and Turbine Drive
The handle of the manual wafer butterfly valve is mainly used with the gear, while the handwheel needs to be used with the worm drive. When the operating force of the valve exceeds 360N, cylindrical spur gears, bevel gears and worm drive devices are often used to reduce the force required for opening and closing. What’s the difference between a handle and a turbo? The first is that the driving method is different. The turbine butterfly valve mainly drives the rotation of the internal gear through the rotation of the handwheel, so that the valve plate rotates and the valve plate is opened and closed. The handle butterfly valve mainly uses the rotation of the handle to turn the valve plate to open and close. Secondly, the force required to operate the handle is large, so the diameter of the valve used is generally below 250mm. Therefore, the handle of the manual wafer butterfly valve and the turbine drive are also different in nominal diameter.

Operating procedures for the drive device of the manual wafer butterfly valve
1. The operator should be familiar with the structure and working principle of the manual butterfly valve.
2. The opening force of the manual butterfly valve exceeds 15kg. If you feel particularly strenuous, you should eliminate the product failure.
3. When the manual butterfly valve is closed, the handle should be reversed for one or two turns, which is conducive to the reopening of the manual butterfly valve.
4. There will be a sediment accumulation area near the manual butterfly valve that is closed for a long time, and these sediments will form resistance to the opening and closing of the manual butterfly valve.
5. When opening, the opening and closing actions should be repeated to promote the loosening of the sediment.
6. If it is found that there is often sediment deposition near the manual butterfly valve, the manual butterfly valve should be opened and closed frequently to facilitate the removal of sediment.
7. For the manual butterfly valve that does not open and close for a long time, it should also be operated once or twice regularly to prevent rust or silt.
8. Check the shaft end for leakage every six months. If there is leakage, replace the packing in time.

The correct operation method of manual valve

The manual valve is operated by the operator with the help of a handle or a hand wheel to manipulate the opening and closing of the valve by manpower. When the valve opening and closing torque is large, a turbine device needs to be installed between the handle or hand wheel and the valve stem, which is more labor-saving. . Normally, the switching direction of a manual valve is to pull the handle or handwheel of the valve, turn it clockwise in the thorium direction to close, and turn it counterclockwise to open the valve. However, under special circumstances, the opening and closing direction of the manual valve may be reversed. This requires operators, especially those experienced

Wafer type butterfly valve with worm gear

operators, to not directly operate the valve based on experience, and check the valve before operation. Open and close signs to avoid losses caused by improper operation. The correct operation method of manual valve is as follows:
1. The operation of manual valve requires the person who manipulates the valve to hold the handle or hand wheel to operate. It is not possible to switch the valve with levers and long wrenches to avoid damage to the handle or hand wheel due to excessive force, let alone violent operation to avoid accidents. happen.
Under normal circumstances, the length of the handle or the diameter of the handwheel is less than 320mm, and only one person is allowed to operate; when the diameter of the handwheel is equal to or greater than 320mm, two people are allowed to complete the operation together, or a single person can appropriately use tools, levers or wrenches. Operate, but pay attention to the lever length not to exceed 0.5m.

2. Both manual gate valve and manual stop valve are operated with the help of handwheels. After the valve is fully opened or closed, it must be rotated 1/4 to 1/2 circle to make the threads tightly fit better and avoid the valve at the same time. Overtightening may cause damage.
3. To operate the manual steam valve, preheat the pipe before opening it to discharge the condensed water in the pipe; open the valve slowly to prevent the occurrence of water hammer and cause damage to the valve and pipeline equipment.
4. The sealing surface of the normally open manual valve is easy to stick to impurities and dirt. Before closing and closing, slightly open a slit to allow the high-speed flowing medium to wash away these foreign objects, and then gently close it to improve the sealing effect .
5. In some pipelines with over-temperature medium, when the manual valve is closed, the temperature in the valve body drops, because the thermal expansion and contraction cause the valve to shrink, and there will be some small gaps in the sealing surface, and the valve will leak. In this case, after closing the manual valve, close it again after a while.

The correctness of manual valve operation affects the service life of the valve and even production safety, so it is necessary to master the correct valve operation method. Safe production, start with small things.

what is bevel gear?

The bevel gear is used to transmit the movement and power between the two intersecting shafts. In general

bevel gear

bevel gear

machinery, the angle of intersection between the two shafts of the bevel gear is equal to 90° (but it may not be equal to 90°). Similar to cylindrical gears, bevel gears have indexing cones, addendum cones, tooth root cones and base cones. The cone has a big end and a small end, and the circle corresponding to the big end is called the index circle (its radius is r), the addendum circle, the root circle and the base circle. The movement of a pair of bevel gears is equivalent to a pair of pitch cones for pure rolling.
Application field
Industrial transmission equipment, vehicle differential
Classification
Straight tooth, helical tooth, curved tooth
Features
Noise reduction, shock absorption, light weight, low cost, etc.

1. Formation of tooth profile
The formation of the tooth profile of bevel gears is similar to that of cylindrical gears, except that the base cone is

The formation of spherical involute

The formation of spherical involute

used instead of the base cylinder. As shown on the right, the generating surface S is tangent to the generatrix of the base cone. When the generating surface S is purely rolling along the base cone, any straight line OK on the

generating surface contacting the generatrix ON of the base cone will form an involute curved surface in space. This curved surface is the tooth profile curved surface of the straight bevel gear. The trajectory of each point on the line OK is an involute (the involute at the vertex O is a point). Each point on the involute NK is equidistant from the cone O, so the involute must be on a spherical surface centered on the cone O and the radius is OK, that is, NK is a spherical involute.
2. Back cone and equivalent gear
The following figure shows a pair of special bevel gear drives. Among them, the number of teeth of wheel 1 is, the indexing circle radius is, and the reference cone angle is; the number of teeth of wheel 2 is, the indexing circle radius is, the indexing cone angle=90°, and the indexing cone surface is A plane, this kind of gear is called a crown gear.

Equivalent gear of bevel gear

Equivalent gear of bevel gear

The large end node P of the wheel 1 is used as the vertical line of the indexing cone generatrix OP, crossing its axis and point O1, and then taking O1 point as the cone tip and O1P as the generatrix, making a cone tangent to the large end of wheel 1 , Call this cone the back cone of wheel 1. In the same way, the back cone of wheel 2 can be made. Since wheel 2 is a crown wheel, its back cone becomes a cylindrical surface. If the back cones of the two wheels are expanded, the back cone of wheel 1 will be expanded into a sector gear, and the back cone of wheel 2 will be expanded into a rack, that is, after the back cone is expanded, the two are equivalent to gears and teeth. Strip meshing transmission. According to the Fan Cheng principle, when the tooth profile of the rack (that is, the back cone of the crown wheel) is a straight line, the tooth profile of the wheel 2 on the back cone is an involute.

Imagine filling up the gap of the unfolded sector gear, and you will get a cylindrical gear. This imaginary cylindrical gear is called the equivalent gear of the bevel gear, and the number of teeth Zv is called the equivalent number of teeth of the bevel gear. The tooth profile of the equivalent gear and the tooth profile of the bevel gear on the back cone (that is, the big end tooth profile) are consistent, so the modulus and pressure angle of the equivalent gear are consistent with the modulus and pressure angle of the large end of the bevel gear. As for the equivalent number of teeth, it can be obtained as follows:

As can be seen from the figure above, the index circle radius of the equivalent gear of wheel 1 is
γv1=γ1/cosδ1=z1m(2cosδ1)

So
zv1=z1/cosδ1

For any bevel gear there is
zv=z/cosδ

With the help of the concept of bevel gear equivalent gear, the correct meshing condition of a pair of bevel gears should be that the modulus and pressure angle of the large ends of the two wheels are equal respectively; the coincidence degree of a pair of bevel gear transmission can be calculated approximately according to the coincidence degree of the equivalent gear transmission ; In order to avoid undercutting of gear teeth, the minimum number of teeth for bevel gears without undercutting zmin=zvmincosδ
3. Analysis of gear tooth force
Similar to the cylindrical gear, the nominal normal load Fn is decomposed into the circumferential force Ft1, the radial force Fr1 and the axial force Fa1 at the average index circle of the pinion gear. The direction of each force is shown in the figure on the right, and then according to the force balance The geometric relationship between the conditions and the forces is calculated, namely

bevel gear force analysis

bevel gear force analysis

Force Analysis of Straight Bevel Gear

Force Analysis of Straight Bevel Gear

 

The force analysis on the big gear is similar to that on the small gear.
4. Geometric parameters and calculations
Bevel gears use the big end parameter as the standard value, so when calculating their geometric dimensions, the big end should also prevail. As shown in the figure below, the index circle diameters of the two bevel gears are respectively
d1=2Rsinδ1, d2=2Rsinδ2

In the formula, R is the distance from the tip of the indexing cone to the large end, which becomes the cone distance; δ1 and δ2 are the indexing cone angles of the two bevel gears (referred to as the cone angle for short).
The transmission ratio of the two wheels is

i12=w1/w2=z2/z1=d2/d1=sinδ2/sinδ1

When the shaft angle Σ=90° between the two bevel gears, the above formula becomes due to δ1+δ2=90°

i12=w1/w2=z2/z1=d2/d1=cotδ1=tanδ2

Geometry of bevel gear transmission

Geometry of bevel gear transmission

When designing bevel gear transmission, the value of the cone angle of the two wheels can be determined according to the above formula according to the given transmission ratio.

As for the size of the bevel gear tip cone angle and the tooth root cone angle, they are related to the head clearance requirements of the two bevel gears when they are meshed and driven. According to national standards (GB/T 12369-1990, GB/T12370-1990), equal head-clearance bevel gears are now used for transmission. The head clearance of the two wheels is equal from the big end to the small end of the gear. The cones of the degree cone and the root cone coincide at one point. However, because the generatrix of the tooth tip cone of the two wheels is parallel to the generatrix of the tooth root cone of the other bevel gear meshing with it, the cone tip no longer coincides with the indexing cone cone tip. This kind of bevel gear is equivalent to reducing the tooth tip height of the small end of the tooth, thereby reducing the possibility of the tooth tip being too sharp; and the tooth root fillet radius is larger, which is beneficial to improve the load capacity of the tooth, tool life and storage Oil lubrication.

Comparison of pneumatic actuator, electric actuator and hydraulic actuator

The valve actuators used in the regulating valve are nothing more than pneumatic, electric and hydraulic:

hydraulic actuator for marine valve

hydraulic actuator for marine valve

1. Nowadays, most of the actuators used in industrial control places are because they use air source as power, which is more economical than electric and hydraulic, and has a simple structure, which is easy to control and maintain. From a maintenance point of view, it is easier to operate and proofread than other types of actuators, and it is also easy to realize the call of positive and negative on the spot. Its biggest advantage is safety. When using a locator, it is ideal for flammable and explosive environments. If the electrical signal is not explosion-proof or intrinsically safe, there is a potential risk of fire caused by ignition. Therefore, although the application range of electric control valves is becoming wider and wider, in the chemical industry, pneumatic control valves still occupy an absolute advantage.

2. Electric actuators: Electric actuators are mainly used in power plants or nuclear power plants, because the high-pressure water system requires a smooth, stable and slow process. The main advantages of electric actuators are high stability and constant thrust applied by users. The maximum thrust generated by the actuator can be as high as 225000kgf. Only hydraulic actuators can achieve such a large thrust, but the cost of hydraulic actuators is higher than that of electric Much higher. The anti-deviation ability of the electric actuator is very good, and the output thrust moment is basically constant, which can well overcome the unbalanced force of the medium and achieve accurate control of the process parameters, so the control accuracy is higher than that of the pneumatic actuator . If equipped with a servo amplifier, the positive and negative effects can be exchanged easily, and the signal-off valve position state (hold/full open/full close) can be easily set, and it must remain in the original position when it fails. What the pneumatic actuator cannot do, the pneumatic actuator must rely on a set of combined protection system to achieve position retention.

Hydraulic actuator: When we need abnormal anti-deflection ability, high thrust and fast formation speed, we often choose hydraulic or electro-hydraulic actuator. Because of the incompressibility of hydraulics, the advantage of using hydraulic actuators is better anti-deviation ability, which is very important for regulating conditions, because when the regulating element is close to the valve seat, the throttle condition is unstable. The larger the pressure difference, the worse this situation is. In addition, the hydraulic actuator runs very smoothly and responds quickly, so high-precision control can be achieved. The electro-hydraulic actuator integrates the motor, the oil pump, and the electro-hydraulic servo valve. It can work as long as it is connected to the power supply and the control signal. The hydraulic actuator is similar to the cylinder, but it can withstand higher pressure than the cylinder. Work requires an external hydraulic system. The factory needs to be equipped with hydraulic stations and oil pipelines. In contrast, electro-hydraulic actuators are more convenient.

Valve actuator / actuation -(6)-Control panel

Control panel of valve actuator:
The main purpose of the control panel is to distribute the electrical energy output by the generator to the user’s load or electrical equipment, and it is also used to indicate the operation of the diesel generator and to keep the

generator’s voltage stable when the load changes. Generally, voltmeters, frequency meters, ammeters, power meters, three-phase current conversion switches, three-phase voltage conversion switches, voltage setting knobs and various indicators are installed on the control panel. For the oil pressure gauge, oil temperature gauge, battery charging ammeter, water temperature gauge, start button and starter electric lock, some of them are directly installed on the control panel according to the design requirements, and some are installed on the dashboard of the diesel engine. The components installed inside the control panel are mainly related to the excitation mode of the generator and the automatic control of the diesel engine. The internal structure of the diesel generator set control panel.

Simple control panels are generally equipped with voltage regulators, silicon rectifier diodes, varistors, automatic air switches, current transformers and other components. More complex control panels must also install overload and short-circuit protection devices, electronic speed regulators, and other components. SCRs, relays, various safety devices and electrical equipment such as small transformers.

spended solids, but the leakage is large. Its flow characteristics are achieved at the corners. The front and equal percentage characteristics are similar, but the work will be unstable and the characteristics will not be good in the future; use in the corner range. Butterfly valves are not only widely used in general industries such as petroleum, gas, chemical, and water treatment, but also used in cooling water systems of thermal power stations.

2. Ball valve:
The ball valve is defined in the standard GB/T21465-2008 “Valve Terminology” as a valve in which the opening and

closing part (sphere) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the valve stem. The ball valve has a 90-degree rotation. The cock body It is a sphere with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis. It is mainly used to cut off or connect the medium in the pipeline, and can also be used for fluid adjustment and control. Among them, the hard-sealed V-shaped ball valve has a strong shear between the V-shaped core and the metal seat of the hard alloy. Shearing force is especially suitable for media containing fibers and tiny solid particles. The multi-way ball valve can not only flexibly control the confluence, divergence, and flow direction switching of the

14 ball-valve-6

14 ball-valve-6

medium in the pipeline, but also close any channel and connect the other two channels. This type of valve should generally be installed horizontally in the pipeline. Ball valve classification: pneumatic ball valve, electric ball valve, manual ball valve. The ball valve can be closed tightly with only a 90-degree rotation and a small torque. The ball valve is most suitable for use as a switch and shut-off valve, V-shaped ball valve. In the developed western countries, the use of ball valves is increasing year by year. In our country, ball valves are widely used in petroleum refining, long-distance pipelines, chemicals, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, electric power, municipal administration, steel and other industries. Occupy a pivotal position in the national economy.

3. Cam flex valve:

Cam flex valve, also known as eccentric rotary valve, is also a new-type regulating valve. The center line of the spherical valve core deviates from the center of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft drives the valve core to rotate eccentrically, so that the valve core enters the valve seat forward and downward.

The eccentric rotary valve has the advantages of small size, light weight, reliable use, convenient maintenance, strong versatility, and low fluid resistance. It is suitable for occasions with high viscosity and has good performance in lime, mud and other fluids.

Valve actuator / actuation -(2)-classification and working principle

Classification of valve actuators:
(1) According to the driving energy used, the actuator is divided into three types: pneumatic, electric and hydraulic actuators.
(2) According to the form of output displacement, the actuator has two types: angle type and linear type.

Pneumatic actuator (2)

Pneumatic actuator (2)

(3) According to the law of action, actuators can be divided into three types: switch type, integral type and proportional type.
(4) According to the input control signal, the actuator can be divided into several types, such as air pressure signal, direct current signal, electric contact on-off signal, pulse signal, etc.

The working principle of valve actuator:
In the gear stage, the engine speed can be transmitted to the output rod through two sets of gears. The main reducer is completed by planetary gears, and the auxiliary reducer is realized by worm gears, which are fixed in the center by a set of tight springs. In the event of an overload, that is, when the output rod exceeds the set torque of the spring, the central worm gear will undergo axial displacement, and the switches and

electric actuator for valve

electric actuator for valve

signal devices will be fine-tuned to provide protection for the system. The output rod is coupled with the worm gear when the engine is working, and is coupled with the hand wheel when it is manually operated, under the action of the coupling operated by the external change control lever. When the engine is not working, the motor drive can be easily cut off, and the handwheel can be connected by simply pressing the lever. Since the motor drive takes

precedence over manual operation, when the engine restarts, the reverse action will automatically occur. This can avoid turning on the hand wheel when the engine is running, which is beneficial to protect the system.

Since the hand wheel is directly coupled with the output rod, it can ensure the normal manual operation of the valve when the internal gear fails or is damaged.

The switch and signal device installed on the gear is a sealed shell, which protects its internal components to achieve

hydraulic actuator for marine valve

the following functions:

  • Local or remote display of valve position
  • Actuator/valve overload protection
  • Limit valve stroke range
  • Electrical interface

The installation of valve actuators on different types of valves is completed by the output rod, which can be applied to various existing valve rod configurations.

Valve actuator / actuation -(1)-introduction

The valve actuator is an indispensable part of the valve automatic control system. Its function is to accept the control signal sent by the controller, change the size of the controlled medium, so as to maintain the controlled variable at

the required value or within a certain range. According to their energy form, actuators can be divided into three categories: pneumatic, hydraulic and electric. Pneumatic actuators use compressed air as energy source. They are characterized by simple structure, reliable action, stable operation, large output thrust, convenient maintenance, fire and explosion prevention, and low price. Therefore, they are widely used in chemical, paper, and oil refining production processes. It can be conveniently used in conjunction with passive instruments. Even when using electric instruments or computer control, as long as the electric signal is converted into a standard pressure signal of 20-100kPa by an electric-pneumatic converter or an electric-pneumatic valve positioner, pneumatic actuators can still be used. The electric actuator has convenient energy access and rapid signal transmission, but the structure is complex and the explosion-proof performance is poor. The hydraulic actuator is basically not used in the chemical, oil refining and other production processes. It is characterized by a large output thrust.

Definition of valve actuator:
The actuator is a combination of the actuator and the control valve in the automatic control system. Its role in the automation control system is to receive the signal from the regulator or computer (DCS, PLC, etc.), and adjust the flow of the process medium based on its position and characteristics in the process pipeline, so that the controlled automation instrument is in production Within the range required by the process.

Basic composition of valve actuator:
Types of valve actuators:
In the process control system, the actuator is composed of two parts: the actuator and the automatic adjustment mechanism. The automatic adjustment mechanism directly changes the parameters of the production process through the actuator, so that the production process meets the predetermined requirements. The actuator accepts the control signal from the controller and converts it into the output of the drive adjustment mechanism (such as angular displacement or linear displacement output). It also uses appropriate actuators, but the requirements are different from the adjustment mechanism. The actuator is installed directly on the production site, sometimes with harsh working conditions. Whether it can maintain normal operation directly affects the safety and reliability of the automatic adjustment system.

The structure of the valve actuator:
A device in an automated control technology tool that accepts control signals and exerts a control function on the controlled object. According to the driving energy used, the actuators are divided into 3 categories: pneumatic, electric and hydraulic actuators.
