In other embodiments, the number of connecting columns 100 can be set to three or five or more.
[0032] In the present invention, the valve core is a spherical body, and the valve core is rotatably installed in the valve body 102. Specifically, the valve body 102 has an installation chamber that is adapted to the shape of the valve core, and the valve core is rotatably installed in the installation chamber. Before the valve core is installed in the installation chamber, the valve body 102 includes two separate upper and lower shells. After the valve core is placed between the upper and lower shells, the valve core is installed in the valve body 102 by welding and fixing the upper and lower shells. In order to improve the sealing effect, a sealing ring is provided between one end of each connecting column 100 extending into the valve body 102 and the outer wall of the valve core. In order to ensure the stability of the valve core in the valve body 102, an upper gasket and a lower gasket are provided on the upper and lower sides of the valve core, respectively.
[0033] In the present invention, three flow channels are arranged in the valve core, namely the first flow channel 2008, the second flow channel 2009 and the third flow channel 2015. The flow paths of the three flow channels are different. Of course, in other embodiments, only two flow channels or more flow channels may be arranged. At the same time, a rotating assembly is arranged on the valve body 102 for rotation, and the rotating assembly is connected to the valve core to drive the valve core to rotate in the valve body 102; when the valve core rotates to a set angle, one or two of the three flow channels are connected to the corresponding liquid holes 101 to form a passage, so that the ball valve is in an open state. By rotating the valve core, different flow channels can be switched to connect with the liquid holes 101 to form a passage, thereby switching the path of the fluid passing through the ball valve, which can expand the application range of the ball valve.
[0034] In this embodiment, the valve core is composed of two hemispherical valve flaps that are face-to-face fitted, and the two valve flaps are respectively a first valve flap 200 and a second valve flap 201. The two valve flaps respectively include an outer spherical surface and a plane located on one side of the outer spherical surface, and the planes of the two valve flaps are fitted to each other and vertically arranged, and pass through the center of the valve core. In addition, the rotating assembly includes a rotating sleeve 1041 rotatably installed in the valve body 102 and a rotating rod 105 coaxially inserted in the rotating sleeve 1041, and the rotating rod 105 is rotatably arranged relative to the rotating sleeve 1041, and the rotating axes of the rotating sleeve 1041 and the rotating rod 105 extend in the up-down direction and are coplanar with the planes of the first valve flap 200 and the second valve flap 201. The lower end of the rotating sleeve 1041 is connected to the first valve flap 200, and the lower end of the rotating rod 105 is transmission-connected to the second valve flap 201. The upper ends of the rotating sleeve 1041 and the rotating rod 105 respectively have driving parts that can drive the rotating sleeve 1041 and the rotating rod 105 to rotate around their own axes. The driving parts can respectively drive the rotating sleeve 1041 and the rotating rod 105 to rotate around their own axes.
[0035] In this embodiment, a bevel gear ring 2011 is provided on the outer periphery of the plane of the second valve flap 201, and a bevel gear 1051 is connected to the lower end of the rotating rod 105. The bevel gear 1051 meshes with the bevel gear ring 2011 for transmission. The second valve flap 201 can rotate relative to the first valve flap 200 around the second rotation axis. The second rotation axis passes through the center of the valve core and is perpendicular to the plane of the second valve flap 201 and the first valve flap 200. When the rotating sleeve 1041 rotates, it can drive the first valve flap 200 and the second valve flap 201 to rotate around the first rotation axis to switch different liquid holes 101 so that the flow channel in the valve core forms a passage with different liquid holes 101. The first rotation axis is coaxial with the rotating sleeve 1041. When the rotating rod 105 rotates relative to the rotating sleeve 1041, the bevel gear 1051 drives the second valve flap 201 to rotate around the second rotation axis to switch different flow channels in the valve core to communicate with the liquid holes 101 to form a passage.
[0036] In this embodiment, the three flow channels are specifically arranged such that the three flow channels respectively penetrate the first valve flap 200 and the second valve flap 201, and the three flow channels share the same inlet. The first valve flap 200 has a first channel 2004, and the first channel 2004 has a first inlet 2006 and a first outlet 2007 at both ends. The first inlet 2006 is located on the outer spherical surface of the first valve flap 200, and is used to connect with one of the liquid holes 101; the first outlet 2007 is located on the plane of the first valve flap 200 and is located at the center. The second valve flap 201 is provided with a second channel 2014, which is a Y-shaped three-way structure. The second channel 2014 has an inlet and two outlets, namely, a second inlet 212, a second outlet 210, and a third outlet 211. The second inlet 212 is located on the plane of the second valve flap 201 and is in the center. The second inlet 212 and the first outlet 2007 always correspond to each other and are connected to each other. The second outlet 210 and the third outlet 211 are both located on the outer spherical surface of the second valve flap 201. The first flow channel 2008 is formed between the second outlet 210 and the first inlet 2006, and the second flow channel 2009 is formed between the third outlet 211 and the first inlet 2006. When the second valve flap 201 rotates around the second rotation axis, the second outlet 210 and the third outlet 211 are respectively connected to different liquid holes 101 to switch different flow channels to form a passage.
[0037] In this embodiment, a branch channel 2005 is provided on one side of the first channel 2004 in the first valve flap 200, one end of the branch channel 2005 is connected between the first inlet 2006 and the first outlet 2007 of the first channel 2004, and the other end is located on the plane of the first valve flap 200 to form a fourth outlet, and the fourth outlet is located on one side of the radial direction of the first outlet 2007. A third channel 2013 is provided in the second valve flap 201 in parallel with the second channel 2014, and one end of the third channel 2013 is located on the second valve flap 2014. 1, forming a third inlet, and the other end is located on the outer spherical surface of the second valve disc 201, forming a fifth outlet, the third inlet is used to communicate with the fourth outlet of the branch channel 2005, and the fifth outlet is used to communicate with one of the liquid holes 101. When the third channel 2013 is connected with the branch channel 2005, the third flow channel 2015 is formed. When the second valve disc 201 rotates around the second rotation axis, at least one of the first flow channel 2008, the second flow channel 2009 and the third flow channel 2015 can be connected with the liquid hole 101 to form a passage.
[0038] In this embodiment, in order to locate the angle at which the second valve flap 201 rotates relative to the first valve flap 200 around the second rotation axis, a positioning structure is provided between the first valve flap 200 and the second valve flap 201. Specifically, a mounting hole is provided on one of the two planes of the first valve flap 200 and the second valve flap 201, and a positioning hole 2012 is correspondingly provided on the other plane. The mounting hole and the positioning hole 2012 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. An elastic pin 2002 is installed in the mounting hole through the top of a spring 2001. When the second valve flap 201 rotates relative to the first valve flap 200 around the second rotation axis by a set angle, the elastic pin 2002 extends into the positioning hole 2012 under the elastic force of the spring 2001 to remind the second valve flap 201 to rotate into place. The opening of the positioning hole 2012 is provided with a guiding inclined surface to squeeze the elastic pin 2002 when the second valve flap 201 rotates relative to the first valve flap 200, so that the elastic pin 2002 retracts into the mounting hole.
[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting hole is provided on the first valve flap 200, and the positioning hole 2012 is provided on the second valve flap 201. Four mounting holes and positioning holes 2012 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the second rotation axis. Accordingly, the second valve flap 201 has four positions in which it rotates relative to the first valve flap 200, namely, the first position, the second position, the third position, and the fourth position. When the second valve flap 201 is in the first position, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the first inlet 2006 at one end of the first flow channel 2008 is connected to one of the liquid holes 101, and the other end of the first flow channel 2008 is connected to an adjacent liquid hole 101, so that the fluid flows through the ball valve in an L-shaped path. When the second valve flap 201 rotates 90° from the first position, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the second valve flap 201 is in the second position. Since the position of the first valve flap 200 is fixed at this time, the part of the second flow channel 2009 located in the first valve flap 200 is fixed. After the second valve flap 201 rotates, the two ends of the second flow channel 2009 are respectively connected to the two opposite liquid holes 101. At this time, the fluid flows through the ball valve in a straight path. When the second valve flap 201 rotates 90° from the second position, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, at this time, the second valve flap 201 is in the third position, and two flow channels form a passage, that is, the two ends of the third flow channel 2015 are respectively connected to the two adjacent liquid holes 101, and the two ends of the second flow channel 2009 are respectively connected to the two opposite liquid holes 101. Since the two flow channels share the same liquid hole 101, the fluid flows through the ball valve in a T-shaped path. When the second valve flap 201 rotates 90° from the third position to the fourth position, at this time, the three flow channels are closed and no passage can be formed.
[0040] In this embodiment, the upper end of the first valve flap 200 is fixedly connected with a fixed sleeve 2003 whose axis extends in the up-down direction. The fixed sleeve 2003 is coaxially arranged with the rotating sleeve 1041. The upper end of the fixed sleeve 2003 is inserted into the lower end of the rotating sleeve 1041. The fixed sleeve 2003 and the rotating sleeve 1041 are locked. The upper end of the rotating sleeve 1041 is connected with a rotating cover 104 for manual screwing. When the rotating cover 104 is screwed, the rotating sleeve 1041, the fixed sleeve 2003 and the first valve flap 200 can be driven to rotate around the first rotating axis. The lower end of the rotating rod 105 is inserted into the fixed sleeve 2003, and the upper end of the rotating rod 105 extends above the rotating cover 104. The upper end of the rotating rod 105 is provided with a handle 108 for manual screwing. When the handle 108 is turned, the rotating rod 105 drives the second valve flap 201 to rotate relative to the first valve flap 200 around the second rotation axis through the bevel gear 1051 and the bevel gear ring 2011. The handle 108 and the rotating cover 104 respectively constitute the driving part. In order to facilitate the observation of the positions of the first valve flap 200 and the second valve flap 201 in the circumferential direction of the first rotation axis, push plates 106 are respectively provided on the radially opposite sides of the valve cover 103. One of the push plates 106 is used as an indicator plate. When the indicator plate corresponds to the position of one of the connecting columns 100, the first inlet 2006 on the first valve flap 200 is connected to the connecting column 100. At the same time, an indicator line is provided on the handle 108 at the upper end of the rotating rod 105. The upper end of the rotating cover 104 is connected to a sealing end cover 107. The sealing end cover 107 is provided with marks corresponding to the four positions of the second valve flap 201. In addition, a filler 1052 is filled between the rotating rod 105 , the rotating sleeve 1041 and the rotating cover 104 .
[0041] When a ball valve with a switchable flow channel is used, the four connecting columns 100 on the periphery of the valve body 102 are respectively connected to other fluid pipelines. When in use, the rotating sleeve 1041 and the rotating rod 105 are screwed synchronously to realize the rotation of the entire valve core around the first rotation axis, so that not only the ball valve can be opened or closed, but also different flow holes can be switched to enter and exit the liquid. When only the rotating rod 105 is rotated, the bevel gear 1051 at the lower end of the rotating rod 105 will drive the second valve flap 201 to rotate around the second rotation axis relative to the first valve flap 200, and then one or two of the first flow channel 2008, the second flow channel 2009 and the third flow channel 2015 can be selected to be connected to the flow hole, and then an L-shaped, straight or T-shaped passage can be formed, so that a ball valve can be used in different occasions, expanding the scope of application of the ball valve.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
