Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ball valve technology, and in particular relates to a ball valve and a method for adjusting liquid flow with high precision. Background Technology
[0002] Ball valve: A valve in which the opening and closing element (ball) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the valve axis. It can also be used for fluid regulation and control. Hard-seal V-type ball valves, with their V-shaped ball core and hard alloy-faced metal seat, possess strong shearing force, making them particularly suitable for media containing fibers, small solid particles, etc. Multi-port ball valves not only flexibly control the merging, splitting, and switching of flow directions in pipelines, but also allow the closure of any channel while connecting the other two.
[0003] Existing ball valves still have the following drawbacks when in use:
[0004] 1. When adjusting the liquid flow rate, the ball valve can only adjust the flow rate by turning the handle. However, after adjustment, the valve core cannot be stabilized, resulting in unstable flow rate.
[0005] 2. The adjustment accuracy is low, and the flow rate cannot be adjusted to the appropriate position according to the needs. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ball valve and adjustment method for high-precision liquid flow adjustment. When the flow rate of the device needs to be adjusted, the handle needs to be lifted upwards before the handle can be rotated to adjust the flow rate, thereby ensuring the stability of the handle. At the same time, the engagement of the round rod and the round hole can further improve the stability of the valve core and ensure the accuracy of flow rate adjustment. Furthermore, the L-shaped plate can be inserted into the rectangular groove at different positions to precisely control the flow rate, thus solving the existing technical problems.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0008] A ball valve and adjustment method for high-precision liquid flow rate adjustment include: a first valve body and a second valve body, each having a first connecting hole on one side close to the other, a first screw inside the first connecting hole, a valve core inside the second valve body, rubber pads on both sides of the valve core, a mounting groove on the top of the valve core, a valve stem on the inner wall of the mounting groove, a connecting block fixedly connected to the top of the second valve body, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block via a connecting assembly, an inner connecting block fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem and passing through the connecting block, a top cover fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, a top of the inner connecting block rotatably connected to the bottom of the top cover, an inner cylinder rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the inner connecting block, a handle slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the inner cylinder, and a braking assembly for braking the handle on the top of the handle.
[0009] The top of the connecting plate is also provided with a fixing component for fixing the valve core;
[0010] The connecting plate has two symmetrically arranged third connecting holes inside, and the third connecting holes are equipped with a retaining component to ensure the state of the ball valve.
[0011] Optionally, the connecting assembly includes mounting holes formed inside the connecting plate and the connecting block, with a second screw threaded into the mounting hole.
[0012] Optionally, the braking assembly includes an L-shaped plate fixedly connected to the top of the handle, the top of the upper cover has multiple rectangular slots that engage with the L-shaped plate, and the top of the upper cover has multiple scale lines that cooperate with the rectangular slots.
[0013] Optionally, the fixing component includes a round rod that slides through the connecting plate, the bottom of the round rod extending into the interior of the valve core, the top of the valve core having multiple round holes that engage with the round rod, the top of the round rod being fixedly connected to an arc-shaped plate, and the bottom of the arc-shaped plate being fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate with the same first spring, the first spring being sleeved on the round rod.
[0014] Optionally, the top of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged fixing blocks, the top of the fixing blocks is provided with through holes, and the bottom of the arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged rectangular pieces, the rectangular pieces engaging with the through holes.
[0015] Optionally, the retaining assembly includes a sliding rod slidably connected inside the third connecting hole. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding rod. The same tension spring is fixedly connected between the top of the limiting plate and the bottom of the connecting plate. The tension spring is sleeved on the sliding rod. A third screw is threaded through one side of the connecting plate and extends into the interior of the third connecting hole. A threaded groove for cooperating with the third screw is provided on one side of the sliding rod. A second connecting hole for cooperating with the sliding rod is provided at one end of the handle.
[0016] Optionally, a circular plate is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cylinder, and a second spring is fixedly connected between the circular plate and the handle, the second spring being sleeved on the inner cylinder.
[0017] A method for regulating a ball valve capable of precisely adjusting liquid flow rate includes the following steps:
[0018] S1. When it is necessary to adjust the flow rate of the device, the handle can be pulled vertically upward. The handle squeezes the second spring and slides upward on the inner cylinder. At the same time, the handle drives the L-shaped plate to move vertically upward. The L-shaped plate is no longer locked with the rectangular groove. At this time, the brake state of the handle is released, and the handle can be rotated. The handle drives the inner cylinder to rotate, the inner cylinder drives the inner connecting block to rotate, the inner connecting block drives the valve stem to rotate, and the valve stem drives the valve core to rotate, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the device.
[0019] S2. At the same time, after the handle rises, it no longer presses against the arc plate. Under the elastic force of the first spring, the arc plate moves vertically upward. The arc plate drives the round rod to move vertically upward. The round rod is no longer engaged with the round hole. At this time, the braking state of the valve core can be released, and the valve core angle can be adjusted. After the handle is released, the rectangular groove engages with the L-shaped plate, and the round rod engages with the round hole. This can improve the stability of the device from two directions, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment.
[0020] S3. When the device needs to be kept normally closed or normally open, unscrew the third screw. The limiting plate moves vertically upward under the tension of the tension spring. The limiting plate drives the sliding rod to move vertically upward. The sliding rod is inserted into the second connecting hole. This can prevent the handle from becoming loose.
[0021] The embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0022] When the flow rate of the device needs to be adjusted, the handle must be lifted upwards first before it can be rotated to adjust the flow rate. This ensures the stability of the handle. At the same time, the engagement of the round rod and the round hole further improves the stability of the valve core, ensuring the accuracy of the flow rate adjustment. Furthermore, the L-shaped plate can be inserted into the rectangular slots at different positions for precise flow rate control.
[0023] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To keep the following description of the embodiments of the present invention clear and concise, detailed descriptions of known functions and known components are omitted.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a ball valve and adjustment method for high-precision liquid flow rate adjustment, including: a first valve body 1 and a second valve body 3. The first valve body 1 and the second valve body 3 are provided with a first connecting hole 6 on their respective sides. A first screw 2 is provided inside the first connecting hole 6. A valve core 8 is provided inside the second valve body 3. Rubber pads 7 are provided on both sides of the valve core 8. An installation groove 13 is provided on the top of the valve core 8. A valve stem 11 is provided on the inner wall of the installation groove 13. A connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the second valve body 3. A connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 16 through a connecting assembly. An inner connecting block 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem 11 and passes through the connecting block 16. A top cover 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 10. The top of the inner connecting block 34 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top cover 4. An inner cylinder 26 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the inner connecting block 34. A handle 5 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 26. A braking assembly for braking the handle 5 is provided on the top of the handle 5.
[0039] The top of the connecting plate 10 is also provided with a fixing component for fixing the valve core 8;
[0040] The connecting plate 10 has two symmetrically arranged third connecting holes 28 inside, and the third connecting holes 28 are provided with a retaining component to ensure the state of the ball valve.
[0041] In one aspect of this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting assembly includes mounting holes formed inside the connecting plate 10 and the connecting block 16, with a second screw 9 threaded into the mounting hole.
[0042] In one aspect of this embodiment, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the braking assembly includes an L-shaped plate 15 fixedly connected to the top of the handle 5. The top of the upper cover 4 has multiple rectangular slots 23 that engage with the L-shaped plate 15. The top of the upper cover 4 also has multiple scale lines 24 that cooperate with the rectangular slots 23. Simultaneously, the handle 5 moves the L-shaped plate 15 vertically upwards, and the L-shaped plate 15 no longer engages with the rectangular slots 23. At this point, the braking state of the handle 5 is released, and the handle 5 can be rotated. The handle 5 drives the inner cylinder 26 to rotate, the inner cylinder 26 drives the inner connecting block 34 to rotate, the inner connecting block 34 drives the valve stem 11 to rotate, and the valve stem 11 drives the valve core 8 to rotate, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the device.
[0043] In another aspect of this embodiment, such as Figure 5-6 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a round rod 14 that slides through the connecting plate 10. The bottom of the round rod 14 extends into the interior of the valve core 8. The top of the valve core 8 has multiple round holes 12, which engage with the round rod 14. An arc-shaped plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the round rod 14. The bottom of the arc-shaped plate 17 and the top of the connecting plate 10 are fixedly connected to the same first spring 19. The first spring 19 is sleeved on the round rod 14. After the handle 5 is raised, the handle 5 no longer presses the arc-shaped plate 17. Under the elastic force of the first spring 19, the arc-shaped plate 17 moves vertically upward. The arc-shaped plate 17 drives the round rod 14 to move vertically upward. The round rod 14 no longer engages with the round holes 12. At this time, the braking state of the valve core 8 can be released, and the angle of the valve core 8 can be adjusted. After the handle 5 is released, the rectangular groove 23 engages with the L-shaped plate 15, and the round rod 14 engages with the round holes 12. This can improve the stability of the device from two directions, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment.

A limiting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding rod 29. The same tension spring 30 is fixedly connected between the top of the limiting plate 31 and the bottom of the connecting plate 10. The tension spring 30 is sleeved on the sliding rod 29. A third screw 33 is threaded through one side of the connecting plate 10 and extends into the interior of the third connecting hole 28. A threaded groove 32 that mates with the third screw 33 is provided on one side of the sliding rod 29. A second connecting hole 22 that mates with the sliding rod 29 is provided at one end of the handle 5.

The bottom of the arc plate 17 is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged rectangular pieces 21, and the rectangular pieces 21 are engaged with the through holes 20.
[0047] Example 3
[0048] Improvements based on Example 1: See Appendix Figure 7-8 A circular plate 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cylinder 26. The same second spring 27 is fixedly connected between the circular plate 25 and the handle 5. The second spring 27 is sleeved on the inner cylinder 26. When it is necessary to adjust the flow rate of the device, the handle 5 can be pulled vertically upward. The handle 5 squeezes the second spring 27 and slides upward on the inner cylinder 26.
[0049] A method for regulating a ball valve capable of precisely adjusting liquid flow rate includes the following steps:
[0050] S1. When it is necessary to adjust the flow rate of the device, the handle 5 can be pulled vertically upward. The handle 5 squeezes the second spring 27 and slides upward on the inner cylinder 26. At the same time, the handle 5 drives the L-shaped plate 15 to move vertically upward. The L-shaped plate 15 is no longer engaged with the rectangular groove 23. At this time, the braking state of the handle 5 is released, and the handle 5 can be rotated. The handle 5 drives the inner cylinder 26 to rotate, the inner cylinder 26 drives the inner connecting block 34 to rotate, the inner connecting block 34 drives the valve stem 11 to rotate, and the valve stem 11 drives the valve core 8 to rotate, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the device.
[0051] S2. At the same time, after the handle 5 rises, the handle 5 no longer presses the arc plate 17. Under the elastic force of the first spring 19, the arc plate 17 moves vertically upward. The arc plate 17 drives the round rod 14 to move vertically upward. The round rod 14 is no longer engaged with the round hole 12. At this time, the braking state of the valve core 8 can be released, and the angle of the valve core 8 can be adjusted. After the handle 5 is released, the rectangular groove 23 engages with the L-shaped plate 15, and the round rod 14 engages with the round hole 12. The stability of the device can be improved from two directions, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment.
[0052] S3. When the device needs to be kept normally closed or normally open, the third screw 33 is unscrewed. Under the tension of the tension spring 30, the limiting plate 31 moves vertically upward. The limiting plate 31 drives the sliding rod 29 to move vertically upward. The sliding rod 29 is inserted into the interior of the second connecting hole 22. At this time, the handle 5 can be prevented from becoming loose.
