DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1-7 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a ball valve capable of detecting low-temperature anti-freezing function, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, a pressure relief housing 2 is penetrated through the side wall of the valve pipe 1, and the right side of the valve pipe 1 is connected to the first connecting pipe 5 through the first screw 3 and the first nut 4. The pressure relief housing 2 includes a pressure relief hole 201, a second spring 202 and a piston rod 203. A pressure relief hole 201 is provided on the side wall of the pressure relief housing 2. A second spring 202 is arranged inside the pressure relief housing 2, and a piston rod 203 is connected through the second spring 202. When the internal pressure is high and greater than the external atmospheric pressure, the fluid in the valve pipe 1 compresses the second spring 202 through the piston rod 203 and sprays out for pressure relief through the pressure relief hole 201. The left side of the valve pipe 1 is connected to the second connecting pipe 6 through the first screw 3 and the first nut 4, and one end of the second connecting pipe 6 away from the valve pipe 1 is connected to the first sealing cover 9 through the second screw 7 and the second nut 8. The first sealing cover 9 includes a connecting rod 901, a filter screen cover 902 and an opening groove 903. The right end of the first sealing cover 9 is connected to the filter screen cover 902 through the connecting rod 901. At the same time, an opening groove 903 is provided at the upper end of the filter screen cover 902. The filter screen cover 902 can filter impurities in the fluid and reduce the wear of the interior by impurities.

[0032] As Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the upper end of the second connecting pipe 6 is in communication with the outer connecting pipe 10, and the outer side of the outer connecting pipe 10 is wrapped with an electric heating sleeve 11 by a strap 12. The support frame 13 is arranged at the upper end of the second connecting pipe 6 and is arranged at the upper right of the outer connecting pipe 10. The support frame 13 includes a control box 1301, a storage battery 1302, a temperature sensor 1303 and a controller 1304. The lower end of the support frame 13 is provided with the control box 1301. The inner wall of the control box 1301 is provided with the storage battery 1302, and the temperature sensor 1303 is arranged through the control box 1301. At the same time, the controller 1304 is arranged inside the control box 1301. The temperature sensor 1303 can monitor the external temperature. When the temperature is lower than a certain value, the electric heating sleeve 11 is controlled to heat by the controller 1304. The upper end of the support frame 13 is rotatably connected with a turntable 14, and a solar panel 15 is arranged at the upper end of the turntable 14. At the same time, a bolt 16 is arranged through the upper end of the turntable 14. There are two solar panels 15, and the solar panel 15, the storage battery 1302, the temperature sensor 1303, the controller 1304 and the electric heating sleeve 11 are electrically connected. Under the action of the solar panel 15, the light energy is converted into electric energy and stored in the storage battery 1302 for use. The lower end of the bolt 16 is threadedly connected in the positioning hole 17, and the positioning holes 17 are distributed in an annular array at the upper end of the support frame 13. By screwing the bolt 16 into the corresponding positioning hole 17, the turntable 14 after adjusting the orientation can be limited and fixed.

[0033] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the support plate 18 is arranged inside the valve pipe 1, and the left and right ends of the support plate 18 are respectively clamped on the side walls of the second connecting pipe 6 and the first connecting pipe 5. At the same time, a valve core 19 is rotatably penetrated between the upper and lower support plates 18. The left and right sides of the valve core 19 are respectively in contact with the sealing rings 20, and a first spring 21 is arranged at the outer end of the sealing ring 20. There are two sealing rings 20, and the first springs 21 are distributed in an annular array on each sealing ring 20. When the internal pressure is high but less than the external air pressure, the fluid in the valve pipe 1 can relieve pressure by compressing the first spring 21 through the sealing ring 20, and the pressure can be relieved unilaterally or bilaterally. Under the action of the first spring 21, the sealing ring 20 and the valve core 19 are in better contact and sealing. When the valve core 19 rotates, the first spring 21 can play a certain buffering effect on the sealing ring 20. The transmission shaft 22 is clamped and connected to the upper end of the valve core 19, and one end of the transmission shaft 22 away from the valve core 19 is hermetically penetrated through the valve pipe 1 and the second sealing cover 23 and connected to the handle 24. The second sealing cover 23 is connected to the upper end of the valve pipe 1, and a stop rod 25 is arranged at the upper end of the second sealing cover 23. At the same time, a pressing block 26 is penetrated through the stop rod 25. There are two stop rods 25, and the two stop rods 25 are staggered on the second sealing cover 23. The stop rod 25 can limit the rotation of the handle 24. The stop rod 25 and the pressing block 26 are in threaded connection, and there are two pressing blocks 26 on the stop rod 25. The handle 24 after operation is pressed and fixed by the pressing block 26 to prevent the handle 24 from being misoperated.

[0034] Working principle: When using the ball valve with the function of detecting low-temperature anti-freezing, the electric heating sleeve 11 is bound to the outside of the outer connecting pipe 10 through the strap 12. The outer connecting pipe 10 is connected to the fluid inlet pipe, and the fluid outlet pipe is connected to the first connecting pipe 5. It can be installed according to the valve pipe 1. The solar panel 15 can be rotated through the turntable 14 to adjust its orientation. After adjustment, it is fixed by passing the bolt 16 through the turntable 14 and threadedly connecting it into the corresponding positioning hole 17. Under the action of the solar panel 15, light energy can be converted into electrical energy and stored in the storage battery 1302. Connect the storage battery 1302, and the fluid flows in through the outer connecting pipe 10, and flows out through the valve pipe 1 and the first connecting pipe 5 after being filtered by the opening groove 903 and the filter screen cover 902. When the temperature sensor 1303 detects that the external temperature is lower than a certain value, the model of the temperature sensor 1303 is JWB-CW2000. The controller 1304 can control the electric heating sleeve 11 to preheat the surface of the outer connecting pipe 10, so that the medium flowing into the valve pipe 1 is not easily frozen. Or when the valve pipe 1 is in a closed state, the frozen fluid at the spool 19 is melted by the heated medium. The handle 24 drives the transmission shaft 22 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 22 drives the spool 19 to rotate, so as to open or close the valve pipe 1. The stop lever 25 plays a limiting role on the handle 24. When the handle 24 contacts the stop lever 25, the valve pipe 1 is in a fully open or fully closed state. The handle 24 after operation can be tightly fixed by the pressing block 26 to prevent the handle 24 from being misoperated. When the internal pressure of the valve pipe 1 is high and greater than the external atmospheric pressure, the fluid in the valve pipe 1 compresses the second spring 202 through the piston rod 203 and sprays and relieves pressure through the pressure relief hole 201. When the internal pressure of the valve pipe 1 is high but less than the external atmospheric pressure, the fluid in the valve pipe 1 can relieve pressure by compressing the first spring 21 through the sealing ring 20. The second nut 8 can be removed, the first sealing cover 9 can be taken off, and the filter screen cover 902 can be taken out of the second connecting pipe 6 for maintenance and cleaning. The content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
