Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of valve technology, and in particular to a heat-insulated fully welded ball valve. Background Technology

[0002] A thermally insulated ball valve is a type of valve that uses a ball with a circular through-hole as its opening and closing element. The ball rotates with the valve stem to achieve the opening and closing action. It is mainly used to cut off or connect the medium in a pipeline, and can also be used for fluid regulation and control. It can also close one channel while connecting the other two. Currently, in industries such as petroleum and chemical processing, some media, such as melamine, BPA chemicals, and asphalt, have high requirements for the ambient temperature (≥280°C) and crystallization or solidification is not allowed.

[0003] Existing ball valves with insulation jackets mainly rely on the continuous injection and outflow of insulation media for heating and insulation. The insulation effect is achieved through heat exchange between the insulation media and the medium inside the valve body. However, during use, due to the long and tortuous flow channel of the insulation media, a significant amount of heat is lost during transportation, resulting in high overall energy consumption. Consequently, the medium temperature does not reach the required level, failing to achieve the insulation effect. This leads to an inability to guarantee the medium temperature in the ball valve flow channel, making it prone to crystallization or solidification during transmission, clogging the ball valve and preventing it from functioning properly. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a thermally insulated fully welded ball valve. By incorporating an active heating device on the valve body, the temperature of the insulation medium is kept stable at a preset temperature, achieving efficient insulation of the flowing medium within the valve body and reducing temperature fluctuations. This thermally insulated fully welded ball valve is specifically implemented through the following technical solution:

[0005] A thermally insulated, fully welded ball valve includes: a valve body, a valve cover, a valve stem, a ball core, and a jacket layer. The valve body has an inlet flow channel and an outlet flow channel. The ball core is disposed inside the valve body to separate the inlet flow channel and the outlet flow channel. The inner end of the valve stem is disposed inside the valve body and connected to the ball core. The jacket layer is disposed on the valve body. An electric heating device is disposed on the inner wall of the valve body. The electric heating device includes a heating core, which is detachably connected to the valve body by fasteners.

[0006] Furthermore, the heating core is equipped with an electrical connector, which facilitates the connection between the heating core and an external power source, and makes the overall assembly and disassembly convenient.

[0007] Furthermore, the jacket layer includes a first jacket and a second jacket. The first jacket is directly welded to the outside of the valve body, and the second jacket is welded to the outside of the first jacket. The first jacket and the valve body form a first insulation cavity, and the first jacket and the second jacket form a second insulation cavity. This configuration provides a double-layer insulation device on the outside of the valve body, making the heat dissipation more stable.

[0008] Furthermore, the first insulation cavity also includes a heating cavity, which is located adjacent to the heating core. This arrangement facilitates the heating core to heat the medium inside the heating cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, the first jacket is equipped with an inlet connector and an outlet connector, both of which are configured for unidirectional flow. This configuration allows the medium inside the first insulation cavity to continuously flow through the inlet and outlet connectors, thus maintaining the temperature.

[0010] Furthermore, the inlet connector is connected to the heating chamber. This design facilitates the flow of the medium within the first insulation chamber, prevents leakage, and enhances overall stability.

[0011] Furthermore, the first insulation cavity is filled with liquid insulation medium through the inlet connector, and the second insulation cavity is sealed with solid insulation medium. This arrangement facilitates the heating of the internal medium and also helps to isolate the medium from the outside environment, thus improving insulation.

[0012] Furthermore, a bushing is provided, which is welded to the jacket layer. The bushing is fitted around the outer periphery of the valve stem, and a compression packing is provided on the inner side of the bushing for pressing against the valve stem. This feature improves the sealing performance of the valve stem and makes the overall structure more stable.

[0013] In summary, the insulated fully welded ball valve, by incorporating an active heating device on the valve body, ensures that the temperature of the insulation medium remains stable at a preset temperature, achieving efficient insulation of the flowing medium within the valve body and reducing temperature fluctuations.
