Recently, the independently developed "An Electric Valve/Gate and Its Control Device and Control Method" by Beijing Raymond-CBE was officially granted an invention patent certificate by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (Patent No.: ZL 2022 1 0261771.0). This patent is one of the core patents within Raymond-CBE's electric valve patent family and has also been concurrently granted authorization in the United States. It encompasses several significant technological achievements in the company's electric valve domain. The patent focuses on enhancing control precision and operational reliability during the opening and closing processes of electric valves/gates, proposing a systematic solution to long-standing industry-wide challenges such as "failure to close completely" and "failure to open smoothly," thereby establishing a solid technical foundation for the safe and intelligent operation of industrial valves.

Electric valves/gates are indispensable actuating components in piping systems across critical sectors such as nuclear power, petrochemicals, electric power, and municipal engineering. As industrial systems demand ever-higher levels of safety, reliability, and intelligence, the limitations of traditional valve drive control methods have become increasingly pronounced. In actual operation, due to insufficient control precision, limited speed regulation capability, and the influence of complex working conditions, valves frequently encounter the dual predicament of being "unable to open" because of excessive resistance and "unable to close completely" due to inadequate control accuracy. This gives rise to frequent incidents such as internal leakage, equipment damage, and even motor burnout. Furthermore, traditional control methods offer poor precision and fail to enable high-accuracy monitoring across the full stroke, making it difficult for operators to grasp the real-time operating status of valves, thus posing significant risks to the safe operation and maintenance of equipment.

To address these common industry pain points, Raymond-CBE independently developed this patented technology. This technology enables intelligent and refined management of the operation process, helping to improve control precision and operational reliability while reducing equipment impact and component wear. Additionally, the solution is designed with universal compatibility and remote management requirements in mind, providing more convenient and efficient support for equipment selection, operation, and maintenance.

As a high-tech enterprise focused on nuclear equipment technology research, Raymond-CBE has consistently prioritized high-safety-level applications such as nuclear power plants as a key direction for its technological development. The application of this patented technology can enhance the reliability of valve switching actions and positional control accuracy, reduce equipment impact and component wear, mitigate risks of internal leakage and jamming, and streamline equipment selection, optimize maintenance workflows, and lower overall lifecycle costs. This technology is not only suitable for demanding environments like nuclear power plants but can also be extended to industrial fields such as petrochemicals, electric power, and municipal engineering that require high intelligence and reliability in valves, boasting broad application prospects.

The granting of this patent represents another significant achievement in Raymond-CBE's sustained efforts and independent innovation in the field of intelligent valve drive control. Looking ahead, the company will continue to focus on comprehensive valve lifecycle management, steadily refining its series of standardized and versatile intelligent drive control solutions, and contributing greater strength to the independent development of nuclear power equipment and the high-quality advancement of China's industrial automation.
