[0002] With the development of valve technology, the functional requirements for powder-slag special ball valves used in media conditions containing particles and impurities, such as liquid or gas media containing 0.1mm-6mm particles, are becoming higher and higher. Not only are the valves required to meet zero leakage standards, but the flow rate needs to be adjusted under actual working conditions. In some cases, the full diameter of the pipeline is also required. The existing ball valve structure mostly adjusts the flow rate by adjusting the opening of the ball. However, due to the sealing performance of the existing powder-slag special ball valve, which is composed of a hard sealing system and a soft sealing system, in harsh media conditions containing particles and impurities, if the valve is not fully open or fully closed, the particles in the medium will flush the soft seal of the valve (mostly made of flexible materials, such as PTFE), causing the sealing performance to completely fail, thereby reducing the service life of the valve.

When the flow control ball 5 and the valve group switch ball 3 are both in a fully open state, the through-hole axes of the two coincide; the flow control ball 5 always maintains an incompletely closed state, and maintains the same opening during use to control the flow of the medium; a valve seat 2 matching the flow control ball 5 is welded in the valve body 1, and a hard seal is formed between the flow control ball 5 and the valve seat 2. When in use, the valve group switch ball 3 and the flow control ball 5 are distributed in sequence along the flow direction of the medium.

The flow control ball 5 can rotate under the drive of the second actuator to adjust the opening of the flow control ball 5. During normal use, the flow control ball 5 maintains a certain fixed opening, and its opening can be adjusted by the second actuator in a non-use state to meet other flow requirements, so as to achieve the purpose of adjustable flow of the valve group.

[0034] In this embodiment, the valve group switch ball 3 and the flow control ball 5 are preferably connected to their respective transmission shafts by a key.

[0035] In this embodiment, the valve group switch ball 3 can adopt a fixed ball structure or a floating ball structure; Figure 1 As shown, when the valve group switch ball 3 is a fixed ball structure, the bottom of the valve group switch ball 3 is also connected to a positioning support shaft 7.

[0037] In this embodiment, the positioning support shaft 7 of the valve group switch ball 3 and the positioning support shaft 7 of the flow control ball 5 are both equipped with a positioning shaft bracket, which is fixed to the bottom of the valve body 1. The positioning support shaft 7 and the flow control ball 5 are connected to the corresponding positioning support shaft 7 by key connection. A positioning shaft bushing is provided between each positioning support shaft 7 and the inner wall of the corresponding positioning shaft bracket.
