Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ball valves, and more particularly to a self-balancing ball valve based on high-temperature media. Background Art

[0002] Ball valves are increasingly used in pipelines due to their ease of control. For ball valves used in high-temperature media, the valve core may become stuck in the valve body cavity due to temperature deformation. This can cause the valve core to fail to rotate, further accelerating damage to the valve core and valve seat. Patent document CN113790282A in the prior art provides a self-balancing ball valve based on high-temperature media. This device balances the heat interference from the high-temperature medium by cooling the valve core, keeping the valve core within a normal temperature range when opening and closing. The powder coating, magnetic end, and velvet layer provide a slow cooling effect, preventing damage to the valve core caused by rapid cooling and effectively extending the service life of the valve core.

[0003] Although the device has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: the device uses heat conduction to cool the ball valve, but when the ball valve is immersed in a high-temperature liquid medium, this method has little cooling effect on the ball valve.

[0031] See also Figure 1-7 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0032] A self-balancing ball valve based on high-temperature media includes two valve bodies 1 and a valve stem 2. Two half valve cores 3 are provided in the middle of the two valve bodies 1. A valve seat 4 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the valve body 1. Two piston rods 5 are symmetrically provided at one end of the valve seat 4. Two cavities 6 are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the valve body 1. An expansion groove 7 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the valve body 1.

[0033] Specifically, the piston rod 5 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the cavity 6 , and the size of the expansion groove 7 is larger than that of the valve seat 4 .

[0034] The piston rod 5 is provided so that the valve seat 4 fits into the outer wall of the half valve core 3 under the pressure of the liquid.

[0035] Furthermore, the inner wall of the valve body 1 is symmetrically structured with two guide grooves A8, a guide block A9 is provided inside the guide groove A8, a scraper ring A10 is provided in the middle of the two guide blocks A9, and one end of the upper side of the scraper ring A10 is rotatably connected to a support rod A11, and a rotating rod 12 is provided at the lower end of one side of the support rod A11.

The lower end of the valve stem 2 is symmetrically provided with two plug rods 16, the plug rods 16 are plugged into the socket 15, and the screw 13 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 14.

[0037] The provided screw 13 can cooperate with the screw hole 14 to fix the half valve core 3, and the provided two insertion rods 16 can make the two half valve cores 3 rotate simultaneously after being inserted into the insertion hole 15.

[0038] Furthermore, the guide block A9 is slidably connected to the guide groove A8, the outer wall of the scraper ring A10 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the valve body 1, one side of the support rod A11 is in sliding contact with the half valve core 3 through the rotating rod 12, and a screw rod 17 is provided through the lower end of the rotating rod 12, and the screw rod 17 is threadedly connected to the support rod A11.

[0039] The guide block A9 and the guide groove A8 can facilitate the movement of the scraper ring A10 inside the valve body 1.

[0040] It is worth noting that a threaded groove 18 is provided on the outer wall of the lower side of the rotating rod 12, and a movable block 19 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 12. Two support rods B20 are symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the movable block 19. Scraper rings B21 are provided inside the two half valve cores 3. Two guide grooves B22 are provided on the inner wall of the half valve core 3, and a guide block B23 is provided inside the guide groove B22.

[0041] The rotating rod 12 can move the movable block 19 under the action of the thread groove 18 when it is rotated.

[0042] It is worth noting that the movable block 19 is in sliding contact with the rotating rod 12, the inner wall of the movable block 19 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the threaded groove 18, one end of the support rod B20 is rotatably connected to the movable block 19, one end of the support rod B20 is rotatably connected to one end of the scraper ring B21, the outer wall of the scraper ring B21 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the half valve core 3, and the guide block B23 is slidably connected to the guide groove B22.

[0043] The support rod B20 is provided so that the scraper ring B21 can clean the sediment on the inner wall of the half valve core 3 when it rotates.

[0044] In addition, a ring groove 24 is provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the valve body 1, a ring block 25 is provided inside the ring groove 24, a slot 26 is provided at the upper end of the ring block 25, an insert block 27 is provided at the lower end of the half valve core 3, and a collection box 28 is provided through the lower end of the valve body 1.

[0045] In addition, the ring block 25 is slidably connected to the ring groove 24, the insert block 27 is plugged into the slot 26, the collection box 28 is connected to the valve body 1 by bolts, and the two valve bodies 1 are connected by bolts.

[0046] The provided ring block 25 and the ring groove 24 can facilitate the rotation of the half valve core 3 therein, and the provided collection box 28 can collect sediments for easy cleaning by the staff.

[0047] When the device is working, when the liquid medium needs to flow from the left to the right, the valve stem 2 is rotated to cooperate with the two plug rods 16 and the plug hole 15 so that the two half valve cores 3 are rotated ninety degrees along the direction of the ring groove 24 under the action of the ring block 25. At this time, the liquid medium can flow from the left valve body 1 to the right valve body 1. Among them, under the action of the cavity 6, the pressure of the liquid medium can apply pressure to the piston rod 5, thereby making the valve seat 4 fit tightly with the outer wall of the half valve core 3, avoiding the gap between the valve seat 4 and the half valve core 3 to cause leakage.

[0048] When the temperature of the liquid medium is too high, the valve seat 4 can expand in the expansion groove 7, thereby avoiding limiting the expansion of the valve seat 4, resulting in excessive pressure between the valve seat 4 and the half valve core 3, which makes it difficult to rotate the half valve core 3. When the half valve core 3 rotates, it can drive the support rod A11 to rotate. When the support rod A11 rotates, it can push and pull the scraper ring A10 so that the scraper ring A10 moves along the direction of the guide groove A8 under the action of the guide block A9, thereby scraping off the particles deposited between the two valve bodies 1 and the half valve core 3, and falling into the two collection boxes 28 under the action of gravity. When the support rod A11 rotates, it can cause the rotating rod 12 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 12 can move the movable block 19 through the threaded groove 18. The movement of the movable block 19 can drive the scraper ring B21 to move through the support rod B20. The scraper ring B21 moves along the direction of the guide groove B22 under the action of the guide block B23, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the half valve core 3.

[0049] Among them, when the half valve core 3 needs to be replaced after long-term use, the left screw 13 is rotated to cooperate with the screw hole 14 so that the left half valve core 3 is fixed, that is, the liquid is blocked. After that, the two valve bodies 1 are separated and the rotating rods 12 on the two half valve cores 3 are removed from the support rod A11 through the screw rod 17, and the right half valve core 3 is separated from the plug rod 16 and the slot 26 in sequence through the plug hole 15 and the plug block 27, and then the right half valve core 3 is replaced. After replacing the right half valve core 3, the two valve bodies 1 are connected together. At this time, the valve stem 2 is rotated so that the positions of the two half valve cores 3 are interchanged, and the new left half valve core 3 is fixed by the left screw 13. Then the two valve bodies 1 are separated again, and the right half valve core 3 after the replacement position is replaced. After replacement, the two rotating rods 12 are respectively connected to the two support rods A11, so that the device can continue to work. The two collection boxes 28 provided can facilitate the cleaning of sediment after they are removed.
