Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention discloses a high-temperature dustproof hard-sealed floating ball valve, belonging to the technical field of valve bodies. Background Art

[0002] The ball of the floating ball valve floats. Under the pressure of the medium, the ball can produce a certain displacement and press against the sealing surface of the outlet end to ensure the sealing of the outlet end. The main features of the floating ball valve are compact structure, reliable sealing, simple structure, easy maintenance, the sealing surface and the spherical surface are often in a closed state, not easily eroded by the medium, easy to operate and maintain, and suitable for general working media such as water, solvents, acids and natural gas, and also suitable for media with harsh working conditions.

[0003] The existing floating ball valve is subjected to a large fluid pressure when closed. When the pressure is high, the connection between the ball valve core and the valve stem is a cantilever beam structure, which causes the stability of the ball valve core to be poor, posing a relatively large safety hazard. In addition, the force exerted on the ball valve core will be transmitted to the valve stem and the valve seat. At the same time, the sealing ring that contacts the ball valve core will also be subjected to a large pressure. Since the sealing ring can withstand a limited working load, it is easy to deform when the pressure is overloaded, thereby affecting its sealing with the ball valve core and the valve seat.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a high-temperature dustproof hard-sealed floating ball valve includes a first valve seat 1, a second valve seat 15, a ball valve core 14 and a valve stem 12. The ball valve core 14 is located in the first valve seat 1 and the second valve seat 15. The valve stem 12 passes through the second valve seat 15 and is slidably connected to the ball valve core 14. Both sides of the ball valve core 14 are provided with movable seals 35. The movable seals 35 include an inner ring 31, an intermediate ring 30, a first spring 29 and a retaining ring 34. The intermediate ring 30 and the retaining ring 34 are both located on the outside of the inner ring 31. The two ends of the first spring 29 are respectively against the middle ring 30 and the retaining ring 34. The sides of the retaining ring 34 away from each other are respectively provided with the first rubber ring 28 and the second rubber ring 33. One side of the inner ring 31 is in contact with the ball valve core 14, and the inner wall of the inner ring 31 is provided with a notch 32. The inner ring 31 blocks and seals the middle ring 30, the retaining ring 34, the first rubber ring 28, the second rubber ring 33 and the first spring 29 in the space formed by the inner ring 31 and the first valve seat 1 or the second valve seat 15. In the space, the ball valve core 14 contacts the two inner rings 31 and forms an upper cavity 13 and a lower cavity 16 with the first valve seat 1 and the second valve seat 15. A sliding plug rod is provided on the second valve seat 15. The sliding plug rod includes a plug column 18, a connecting rod 22, a nut 21 and a second spring 23. The connecting rod 22 is slidably arranged with the second valve seat 15, and the plug column 18 and the nut 21 are connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 22. A circular slot 17 that cooperates with the plug column 18 is provided on the ball valve core 14. The second spring 23 It is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 22 and applies a force to the plug column 18 to disengage from the circular slot 17. The second valve seat 15 is provided with a pressurized chamber 36 in the middle part corresponding to the connecting rod 22, and a flow channel 24 connecting the pressurized chamber 36 and the lower chamber 16 is provided in the second valve seat 15. The second valve seat 15 is provided with a first seal and a second seal at the positions corresponding to the connecting rod 22 and the valve stem 12 respectively. When the ball valve core 14 cooperates with the valve stem 12 and the plug column 18, it has a sliding tendency in the flow direction of the fluid.

[0021] The first sealing member includes two sets of pressure sleeves 19 and third rubber rings 20 arranged on the outside of the connecting rod 22, one set of pressure sleeves 19 and the third rubber ring 20 are located in the pressurized chamber 36, and the other set of pressure sleeves 19 and the third rubber ring 20 are located on the outside of the second valve seat 15, and the pressure sleeve 19 abuts against the second spring 23. The two third rubber rings 20 are arranged in a state close to each other, and the end of the plug post 18 close to the circular slot 17 has a spherical surface 25, a limiting groove 26 is provided on the connecting rod 22, and a round table surface 27 is provided on the side of the third rubber ring 20 close to the pressure sleeve 19. The second sealing member includes a pressure block 3, a sliding sleeve 2, a fastening bolt 10 and The third spring 11 and the pressure block 3 are located above the sliding sleeve 2, and both are sleeved on the outside of the valve stem 12. A cavity is provided on the second valve seat 15, and the cavity is filled with filler. The fastening bolt 10 passes through the pressure block 3 and is threadedly connected to the second valve seat 15. The two ends of the third spring 11 are respectively on the fastening bolt 10 and the pressure block 3. One end of the valve stem 12 is connected to the fixed seat 6, and the operating rod 8 is penetrated through the fixed seat 6, and the fixed seat 6 is provided with a limit bolt 7 for positioning the operating rod 8. The second valve seat 15 is fixedly installed with a bent frame 4, and the fixed seat 6 is rotatably connected to the bent frame 4, and a rotating piece 5 is provided on the fixed seat 6, and a stopper 9 is provided on the bent frame 4.

[0022] Working principle: When the operating rod 8 drives the fixed seat 6 and the valve stem 12 to rotate, the fluid in the floating ball valve can be switched from the flowing state to the closed state. The lever arm of the operating rod 8 can be controlled by the limit bolt 7 to facilitate manual rotation of the ball valve core 14. At this time, the ball valve core 14 is subjected to the pressure of the fluid, and the upper chamber 13 and the lower chamber 16 are in a low pressure state. When the fluid pressure continues to increase, the pressure generated by the fluid pushes the notch 32 and the inner ring 31 slides, so that it is out of the state of interference with the ball valve core 14, and a gap for fluid to pass through is formed between the two. The fluid smoothly enters the upper chamber 13 and the lower chamber 16, thereby achieving a pressure relief state, thereby reducing the hidden danger of safety of the ball valve core 14 caused by excessive pressure. When the fluid pressure continues to increase, when the pressure in the lower chamber 16 is the same as that on the fluid inlet side, the fluid in the pressurized chamber 36 will push the plug 18 toward the ball valve core 14 and insert it into the circular slot 17, so that the ball valve core 14 is supported by the upper and lower positions, thereby Increasing the pressure on the front of the ball valve core 14 further enhances the stability of the ball valve core 14, and the ball valve core 14 has a movement trend in the same direction as the fluid flow. When subjected to fluid pressure, it can always maintain contact with the inner ring 31 on the other side, thereby effectively blocking the flow of the fluid and sealing it. Since the first spring 29 is located in the space formed by the inner ring 31, the first valve seat 1 and the second valve seat 15, and is sealed by the first rubber ring 28 and the second rubber ring 33, the fluid cannot enter between the retaining ring 34 and the intermediate ring 30, thereby preventing the first spring 29 from being affected by impurities in the fluid and failing. In addition, the inner ring 31 can scrape off impurities on the surfaces of the first valve seat 1, the second valve seat 15 and the ball valve core 14 during the sliding process, so as to achieve a local automatic cleaning effect, thereby avoiding affecting the cooperative sealing of the inner ring 31 and the three. Especially in the use scenario of high-temperature fluid containing impurities, it can also prevent impurities from adhering to the relative movement of the ball valve core 14 and the inner ring 31, thereby preventing locking.

[0023] At the same time, when fluid enters the upper and lower chambers 13 and 16, the seal between the valve stem 12 and the second valve seat 15 is achieved by the second sealing member. By adjusting the compression of the third spring 11 to compact the packing, the sealing requirements in different scenarios can be met. The sealing of the connecting rod 22 is achieved by two sets of pressure sleeves 19 and a third rubber ring 20. When the fluid pressure in the pressurized chamber 36 increases, the fluid pressure can exert a force on the pressure sleeve 19 located in the pressurized chamber 36, causing the third rubber ring 20 to deform and achieve a seal. When the pressure in the pressurized chamber 36 is low, the second spring 23 exerts pressure on the pressure sleeve 19 located outside the second valve seat 15, causing the third rubber ring 20 to deform and achieve a seal. The inner diameter of the third rubber ring 20 is thicker than the outer diameter, which improves the sealing effect when it deforms. In addition, when the ball valve core 14 is in the state of closing the fluid flow, the plug 18 does not cooperate with the circular slot 17, which can achieve a labor-saving effect.
