[0028] The preferred specific embodiments for implementing the present invention are described in detail below, and a clear and complete description is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 The present invention provides a high-temperature bidirectional alloy hard-sealed floating ball valve.

[0030] The invention comprises a floating ball valve device 100 connected to a pipeline, and a driving device 200 for driving the floating ball valve device 100 to open and close is arranged at the top end of the floating ball valve device 100.

[0031] The floating ball valve device 100 includes a floating ball valve assembly 110 for connecting to a pipeline, an adjusting assembly 120 for driving the floating ball valve assembly 110 to maintain communication is provided in the floating ball valve assembly 110, and the adjusting assembly 120 is connected to the driving device 200, and sealing assemblies 130 for sealing the adjusting assembly 120 are provided on the left and right sides of the adjusting assembly 120.

[0032] The floating ball valve assembly 110 includes a ball valve seat 111 arranged on the pipeline. The left and right ends of the ball valve seat 111 are provided with locking holes 112 for fixing the ball valve seat 111 on the pipeline. There are eight locking holes 112, which are distributed in a circular array on the left and right ends of the ball valve seat 111. The locking holes 112 are penetrated by fixing bolts and are threadedly connected with nuts at the same time, so that the ball valve seat 111 can be fixed on the pipeline.

[0033] A valve cavity 115 for assisting the rotation of the regulating component 120 is provided in the middle of the seat body of the ball valve seat 111, and channels 114 for maintaining the circulation of liquid in the pipeline are provided on the left and right sides of the valve cavity 115, so that the valve cavity 115 and the channels 114 on both sides can be controlled to maintain communication through the rotation of the regulating component 120, thereby realizing the flow of liquid in the pipeline hole; a receiving groove 113 for assisting the sealing component 130 to seal the regulating component 120 is provided in the seat body of the ball valve seat 111, and there are two receiving grooves 113, so that the sealing component 130 in the receiving groove 113 can be used to seal the regulating component 120 to prevent leakage of the pipeline medium.

[0034] The regulating assembly 120 includes a sphere 121 arranged in the valve cavity 115 to keep the two channels 114 connected. The seal between the sphere 121 and the ball valve seat 111 uses high-hardness, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant cemented carbide, which can not only maintain the high-temperature use of the sealing surface, but also prevent the invasion of granular media and cause damage; at the same time, a through hole is opened in the sphere 121 to facilitate the connection between the two channels 114, the through hole and the valve cavity 115, so as to realize the flow of liquid in the pipeline; and the sphere 121 is driven by the driving device 200 to rotate perpendicular to the direction of the valve flow channel, thereby realizing the connection and disconnection of the pipeline medium; the top of the sphere 121 is opened with a fixing groove 122 for connecting with the fixing assembly 210.

[0035] The sealing assembly 130 includes a valve seat 134 arranged in the channel 114 for sealing the ball 121, and a valve seat sealing ring 133 for driving the valve seat 134 close to the ball 121 is arranged at one end of the valve seat 134 away from the ball 121, and the material of the valve seat sealing ring 133 is carbon fiber to avoid the problem of medium leakage when the ball 121 is opened and closed; a support ring 132 is arranged at one end of the seat sealing ring 133 away from the valve seat 134, and a disc spring 131 for driving the valve seat 134 close to the ball 121 is arranged at one end of the support ring 132 away from the valve seat sealing ring 133, and the disc spring 131 is a butterfly spring; the other end of the valve seat sealing ring 133 contacts the back side of the valve seat 134, and the contact surfaces at both ends of the valve seat sealing ring 133 are set as wedge-shaped surfaces, so as to provide sufficient sealing pressure ratio and achieve sealing under the action of the disc spring 131.

[0036] When the medium in the float valve device 100 flows from the disc spring 131 to the ball 121, under the joint action of the disc spring 131 and the medium, the support ring 133 pushes the support ring 132, the valve seat sealing ring 133 and the valve seat 134 close to the ball 121, the ball 121 is close to the downstream valve seat 134, and the downstream valve seat 134 presses the valve seat sealing ring 133, thereby realizing the pipeline medium cutting function, which belongs to the automatic sealing type of spring-assisted sealing.

[0037] When the medium flows in the opposite direction, that is, when the medium flows from the ball 121 to the disc spring 131, the medium acts on the ball 121 along the flow direction of the medium. The ball 121, the valve seat 134, the valve seat sealing ring 133, and the support ring 132 act on the disc spring 131 in sequence. The disc spring 131 bears all the pipeline medium force. The disc spring 131 here uses two butterfly springs superimposed together to fully ensure the effective use of the butterfly spring.

[0038] The driving device 200 includes a fixing component 210 for driving the adjusting component 120 to rotate, and a driving component 220 for driving the fixing component 210 to rotate is fixedly mounted on the top end of the fixing component 210 .

[0039] The fixing assembly 210 includes a packing gland 211 arranged at the top of the ball valve seat 111, and a bolt 001 for fixing the packing gland 211 on the ball valve seat 111 is arranged at the top of the packing gland 211, and the bolt 001 penetrates the packing gland 211 and is threadedly connected to the packing gland 211, and is compressed by using a screw 16 between the packing glands 15, thereby achieving the sealing of the valve stem 213 to prevent the pipeline medium from leaking out; a valve stem 213 for rotation is arranged in the packing gland 211, and a fixing block 212 for connecting with the fixing groove 122 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the valve stem 213, and the fixing block 212 is inserted into the fixing groove 122 at the top of the ball 121, and the fixing block 212 is welded by welding. It is connected to the fixing groove 122, so that the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the ball 121 is controlled by the valve stem 213, and it is communicated with the valve cavity 115 and the channel 114 through the through hole on the ball 121. At this time, the flexible graphite sealing ring 132 is under the elasticity of the spring 131, and the flexible graphite sealing ring 132 is tightly attached to the ball 121, so that the medium in the pipeline can flow, and the ball 121 can be used to separate the valve cavity 115 and the channel 114; the top of the valve stem 213 is provided with a handle 214 for driving the valve stem 213 to rotate, and the handle 214 is connected to the valve stem 213 through a threaded connection, so that the valve stem 213 can be controlled to drive the ball 121 to rotate by rotating the handle 214.

[0040] The front end of the handle 214 is provided with a long groove 217 for storing the drive assembly 220, the top of the handle 214 is provided with a fixing hole 215 for locking the stored drive assembly 220, and the top of the handle 214 is provided with a fixing hole 216 for locking the unfolded drive assembly 220, and the fixing hole 216 is located on the left side of the fixing hole 215; thus, the drive assembly 220 can be stored in the long groove 217 and fixed by inserting the rod into the fixing hole 215.

[0041] The driving assembly 220 includes a handle 221 arranged in the long groove 217 for rotation. A fixing hole 3 222 is provided at the top of the handle 221 to facilitate lengthening the handle 214. When it is inconvenient to drive the handle 214 to drive the valve stem 213 to rotate, the handle 221 stored in the handle 214 can be unfolded and the plug rod can be inserted into the fixing hole 216 to lengthen the handle 214. Therefore, when it is necessary to keep the pipeline connected through the floating ball valve device 100, the handle 221 can be opened. The handle 221 received in the long groove 217 in the handle 214 is rotated, and then the insertion rod is inserted into the second fixing hole 216 to fix the handle 221. The valve stem 213 is then controlled to rotate by the handle, and at the same time, the through hole on the ball 121 is communicated with the valve cavity 115 and the channel 114. At this time, the flexible graphite sealing ring 132 is tightly attached to the ball 121 under the elasticity of the spring 131, so that the medium in the pipeline can be circulated, so as to facilitate the medium circulation in the petrochemical plant.

In addition, any non-creative modifications made to the present invention by those skilled in the art without creative work still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
