Pressure regulating valve
View Patent ↗A pressure regulating valve including an actuator and a valve body. Communicating passages are arranged between a chamber of the valve body and a chamber of the actuator. Further, a pressure tapping tube is disposed in the chamber of the valve body. One end of the pressure tapping tube is connected to the communicating passage and the other end of the pressure tapping tube is suspended. By adopting this pressure tapping structure in the pressure regulating valve, the performance of the pressure regulating valve in a flow accuracy range is improved.
1. A pressure regulating valve, comprising:
a valve body,
a valve rod having a first end and a second end,
a valve seat connected to the second end of the valve rod,
an actuator coupled to the valve body, the first end of the valve rod being connected to the actuator, the actuator being configured to move the valve seat in the valve body via the valve rod to control fluid flow through the valve body,
a regulating rod have a third end and a fourth end, the third end disposed outside of the actuator and the fourth end disposed within the actuator,
a guide sleeved on the valve rod and arranged between the valve body and the actuator,
a communicating passage being arranged in the guide between a cavity of the valve body and a cavity of the actuator,
wherein a pressure tapping tube is further arranged in the cavity of the valve body, one end of the pressure tapping tube in fluid communication with the communicating passage and the other end of the pressure tapping tube is suspended,
wherein the actuator comprises:
a diaphragm cap assembly comprising a first diaphragm cap and a second diaphragm cap coupled to the first diaphragm cap, the second diaphragm cap connected to the valve body,
a diaphragm assembly comprising a diaphragm captured between the first diaphragm cap and the second diaphragm cap, and
a spring arranged in the first diaphragm cap and configured to apply a spring force on the diaphragm, and
wherein the guide has a flange that is captured between and in contact with the second diaphragm cap and the valve body.
2. The pressure regulating valve according to claim 1 , wherein at least one additional communicating passage is arranged in the guide, and the pressure tapping tube is connected to at least one of the communicating passages.
3. The pressure regulating valve according to claim 2 , wherein the communicating passage and the at least one additional communicating passage are distributed on two symmetrical sides of an axis of the valve rod.
4. The pressure regulating valve according to claim 1 , wherein the suspended end of the pressure tapping tube is arranged in a direction along a gas or fluid flow direction.
5. The pressure regulating valve according to claim 4 , wherein the cavity of the valve body comprises a pressure inlet cavity and a pressure outlet cavity, and the pressure tapping tube is arranged in the pressure outlet cavity.
6. The pressure regulating valve according to claim 5 , wherein the actuator is configured to move the valve seat in the pressure inlet cavity or the pressure outlet cavity via the valve rod.
7. The pressure regulating valve according to claim 6 , wherein the guide is integrally molded with the actuator.
8. The pressure regulating valve according to claim 1 , wherein the communicating passage is a cylindrical hole.
9. The pressure regulating valve according to claim 1 , further comprising a lever movably connected with the diaphragm assembly and the valve rod.
10. The pressure regulating valve according to claim 1 , wherein the guide is removably coupled to the actuator and the valve body.
