[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] An embodiment of a high-pressure large-diameter ball valve of the present invention is as follows Figures 1 to 14 As shown, it includes a valve body 100 , a force amplifying mechanism 300 and a rotating shaft 400 .

[0035] A valve core (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the valve body 100, and joints 110 are respectively arranged on both sides of the valve body 100. The valve core rotates in the valve body 100 to connect or isolate the two joints 110; specifically, a through hole is arranged on the valve core, and when the valve core rotates until the through hole is coaxial with the two joints 110, the valve core is in an open state, and when the valve core rotates until the through hole is perpendicular to the line connecting the two joints 110, the valve core is in a closed state, and the valve core is opened or closed every 90° rotation.

[0036] The force amplification mechanism 300 includes a fixed shell 500, a rotating shell 600 and a force storage torsion spring 700. The fixed shell 500 is fixedly installed on the valve body 100. The rotating shaft 400 passes through the fixed shell 500 and is rotatably installed on the valve body 100 and connected to the valve core; specifically, the rotating shaft 400 and the valve core can be connected through a key groove, and a sealing ring is installed between the rotating shaft 400 and the valve body 100.

[0037] The rotating shell 600 is rotatably mounted on the fixed shell 500 around the axis of the rotating shaft 400, and the rotating shell 600 is sleeved outside the rotating shaft 400; a transmission assembly 800 is arranged inside the rotating shell 600, and the transmission assembly 800 has an extended state and a retracted state. When the transmission assembly 800 is in the extended state, the rotating shell 600 drives the rotating shaft 400 to rotate synchronously through the transmission assembly 800, and when the transmission assembly 800 is in the retracted state, the rotating shell 600 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 400;

[0038] The force storage torsion spring 700 is rotatably installed in the fixed shell 500 around the axis of the rotating shaft 400 , and promotes the rotating shell 600 to rotate when the rotating shell 600 drives the rotating shaft 400 to rotate, and stores force during the rotation of the rotating shell 600 relative to the rotating shaft 400 .

[0039] When in use, when the rotating shell 600 drives the rotating shaft 400 to rotate through the transmission assembly 800 to open or close the valve core, the force storage torsion spring 700 prompts the rotating shell 600 to rotate, thereby increasing the force for the rotation of the valve core; after the valve core is opened or closed, the rotating shell 600 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 400 so that the force storage torsion spring 700 stores force for the next opening or closing of the valve core, which neither affects the rapid opening or closing of the valve core nor increases the force for the next opening or closing of the valve core.

[0040] In this embodiment, the fixed shell 500 includes a first outer cylinder 510, an intermediate cylinder 520 and a first inner cylinder 530 which are spaced apart and coaxial from the outside to the inside. The first outer cylinder 510, the intermediate cylinder 520 and the first inner cylinder 530 are fixedly connected. Specifically, a bottom plate 540 is provided at one end of the first outer cylinder 510, the intermediate cylinder 520 and the first inner cylinder 530 close to the valve body 100. The first outer cylinder 510, the intermediate cylinder 520 and the first inner cylinder 530 are all fixedly connected to the bottom plate 540. The rotating shaft 400 passes through the bottom plate 540 and is located in the first inner cylinder 530 and is coaxial with the first inner cylinder 530. The intermediate cylinder 520 is surrounded by a first baffle portion 521 and a first slide groove portion 525, and a first slide groove 522 coaxial with the intermediate cylinder 520 is provided on the first slide groove portion 525, and two ends of the first slide groove 522 extend to both sides of the first baffle portion 521 in the circumferential direction; the first inner cylinder 530 is surrounded by a second baffle portion 531 and a second slide groove portion 535, and a second slide groove 532 coaxial with the first inner cylinder 530 is provided on the second slide groove portion 535, and two ends of the second slide groove 532 extend to both sides of the second baffle portion 531 in the circumferential direction; the first baffle portion 521 and the second baffle portion 531 are arranged opposite to each other in the circumferential direction of the first inner cylinder 530, that is, the first baffle portion 521 and the second baffle portion 531 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating shaft 400. A first avoidance slot 523 is provided on the first slide slot 522, and a second avoidance slot 533 is provided on the second slide slot 532; the force storage torsion spring 700 is a multi-turn spiral structure coaxial with the first inner cylinder 530, and the inner ring and outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 are slidably installed on the first slide slot 522 and the second slide slot 532 respectively; a first elastic block 710 is provided on the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700, and when the first elastic block 710 cooperates with the first avoidance slot 523, it prevents the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 from continuing to rotate; a second elastic block 720 is provided on the inner ring of the force storage torsion spring 700, and when the second elastic block 720 cooperates with the second avoidance slot 533, it prevents the inner ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 from continuing to rotate.

[0041] When the valve core is in the open or closed state, the first elastic block 710 cooperates with the first avoidance slot 523, and the inner ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 cannot be further rotated under the obstruction of the second baffle portion 531, or the second elastic block 720 cooperates with the second avoidance slot 533, and the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 cannot be further rotated under the obstruction of the first baffle portion 521, and the force storage torsion spring 700 is in a force storage state. In the process of the rotating shell 600 driving the rotating shaft 400 to rotate to open or close the valve core, the first elastic block 710 is allowed to disengage from the first avoidance slot 523, or the second elastic block 720 is allowed to disengage from the second avoidance slot 533, and the first elastic block 710 and the second elastic block 720 promote the rotation of the rotating shell 600 under the action of the force storage torsion spring 700 restoring the deformation. After the valve core is opened or closed, the rotating shell 600 continues to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 400, and the inner ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 is again blocked by the second baffle portion 531, and the first elastic block 710 cooperates with the first avoidance slot 523, or the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 is blocked by the first baffle portion 521, and the second elastic block 720 cooperates with the second avoidance slot 533, so that the force storage torsion spring 700 is in the force storage state again. For example, when the force storage torsion spring 700 spirally extends from its inner ring to its outer ring in a counterclockwise direction, after the rotating shell 600 rotates clockwise to open or close the valve core, the rotating shell 600 continues to rotate clockwise relative to the rotating shaft 400 so that the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 is blocked by the first baffle portion 521, and then the inner ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 continues to rotate until the second elastic block 720 cooperates with the second avoidance slot 533, and the force storage torsion spring 700 is stretched and force is stored; when the rotating shell 600 rotates counterclockwise to open or close the valve core next time, the second elastic block 720 is allowed to rotate first, and the second elastic block 720 is allowed to rotate second, so that ... The block 720 disengages from the second avoidance slot 533, and the second elastic block 720 causes the rotating shell 600 to rotate counterclockwise under the action of the force storage torsion spring 700 restoring its deformation. After the rotating shell 600 rotates counterclockwise to open or close the valve core, the rotating shell 600 continues to rotate counterclockwise relative to the rotating shaft 400 so that the inner ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 is blocked by the second baffle portion 531, and then the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 continues to rotate until the first elastic block 710 cooperates with the first avoidance slot 523, and the force storage torsion spring 700 is stretched and stored again.

[0042] In this embodiment, the rotating shell 600 includes a second outer cylinder 610 and a second inner cylinder 620. The second inner cylinder 620 is located inside the second outer cylinder 610 and is coaxial with the second outer cylinder 610. The second inner cylinder 620 and the second outer cylinder 610 are fixedly connected. The second outer cylinder 610 is located between the first outer cylinder 510 and the intermediate cylinder 520 and is coaxial with the first outer cylinder 510. The inner ring of the second outer cylinder 610 is provided with a first protruding section 611 that matches the first sliding groove 522. The second inner cylinder 620 is located inside the first inner cylinder 530 and is coaxial with the first inner cylinder 530. The outer ring of the second inner cylinder 620 is provided with a second protruding section 621 that matches the second sliding groove 532. The first protrusion section 611 and the second protrusion section 621 are both provided with inclined surfaces on the circumferential side surfaces of the second inner cylinder 620. The inclined surface of the first protrusion section 611 abuts against the first elastic block 710, and when the first elastic block 710 moves to the first avoidance groove 523, the first elastic block 710 is pushed to cooperate with the first avoidance groove 523, and the first protrusion section 611 slides in the first slide groove 522 to prevent the first elastic block 710 from disengaging from the first avoidance groove 523, thereby keeping the force storage torsion spring 700 in a force storage state. The inclined surface of the second protrusion section 621 abuts against the second elastic block 720, and when the second elastic block 720 moves to the second avoidance slot 533, it pushes the second elastic block 720 to cooperate with the second avoidance slot 533, and the second protrusion section 621 slides in the second slide groove 532 to prevent the second elastic block 720 from disengaging from the second avoidance slot 533, thereby keeping the force storage torsion spring 700 in a force storage state.

[0043] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the first baffle portion 521 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first slide groove portion 525, so that the first baffle portion 521 and the first slide groove portion 525 form a first table surface at the junction; the outer diameter of the second baffle portion 531 is larger than the outer diameter of the second slide groove portion 535, so that the second baffle portion 531 and the second slide groove portion 535 form a second table surface at the junction. The outer ring of the power storage torsion spring 700 is provided with an outer arc stopper 730, which is slidably arranged inside the first slide groove portion 525, and when the outer arc stopper 730 moves to abut against the first table surface, the outer ring of the power storage torsion spring 700 is blocked from further rotation; the inner ring of the power storage torsion spring 700 is provided with an inner arc stopper 740, which is slidably arranged outside the second slide groove portion 535, and when the inner arc stopper 740 moves to abut against the second table surface, the inner ring of the power storage torsion spring 700 is blocked from further rotation.

Specifically, limiting slots are provided on the outer side surface of the outer arc stop block 730 and the inner side surface of the inner arc stop block 740, the first tension spring 711 and the block 712 are both provided in the limiting slots, and the block 712 is provided with a column 713 extending out of the limiting slot, the inclined surface of the first protruding section 611 or the second protruding section 621 abuts against the column 713, thereby pushing the block 712 to cooperate with the first avoidance slot 523 or the second avoidance slot 533.

The transmission assembly 800 includes a telescopic sleeve 810 and a second tension spring 820. The telescopic sleeve 810 is slidably installed in the installation groove 631, and its two ends are respectively in contact with the rotating shaft 400 and the inner wall surface of the first outer cylinder 510. At this time, the transmission assembly 800 is in an extended state; the two ends of the second tension spring 820 are respectively connected to the telescopic sleeve 810 and the cover plate 630, and the second tension spring 820 prompts the telescopic sleeve 810 to move away from the rotating shaft 400; when the rotating shell 600 drives the telescopic sleeve 810 to move to abut against the arc platform 420, it drives the rotating shaft 400 to rotate synchronously, and after the rotating shaft 400 rotates by a first preset angle, the second tension spring 820 prompts the telescopic sleeve 810 to move outward to the give way groove 511, so that the telescopic sleeve 810 is out of contact with the rotating shaft 400. At this time, the transmission assembly 800 is in a recovered state, and the rotating shell 600 can drive the telescopic sleeve 810 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 400. In order to facilitate the telescopic sleeve 810 to enter or escape from the clearance groove 511 , both ends of the clearance groove 511 in the circumferential direction are provided with inclined surfaces transitioning to the inner wall surface of the first outer cylinder 510 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the telescopic sleeve 810 includes an inner rod 811, an outer rod 812 and a spring 813. The inner rod 811 and the outer rod 812 are both slidably installed in the installation groove 631 and connected by the spring 813. The inner rod 811 is located on the side of the outer rod 812 close to the rotating shaft 400; the spring 813 makes the inner rod 811 abut against the rotating shaft 400 in a naturally extended state, and makes the outer rod 812 abut against the inner wall of the first outer tube 510; the second tension spring 820 connects the cover plate 630 and the outer rod 812, and pulls the outer rod 812 to move the telescopic sleeve 810 as a whole away from the rotating shaft 400.

[0048] In this embodiment, there are multiple force storage torsion springs 700, which are sequentially arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 400, and there are multiple corresponding first slide grooves 522, second slide grooves 532, first protruding sections 611 and second protruding sections 621, and the first avoidance card grooves 523 on the multiple first slide grooves 522 are sequentially spaced and distributed in the circumference of the intermediate cylinder 520, and the second avoidance card grooves 533 on the multiple second slide grooves 532 are sequentially spaced and distributed in the circumference of the first inner cylinder 530. In the process of the rotating shell 600 driving the rotating shaft 400 to rotate and open or close the valve core, the multiple force storage torsion springs 700 are released one by one, and the rotation of the rotating shell 600 is sequentially increased, thereby further prompting the valve core to open or close. Among them, the distribution angle of the multiple first avoidance card grooves 523 corresponding to the multiple force storage torsion springs 700 on the circumference of the intermediate cylinder 520 does not exceed the first preset angle, and the distribution angle of the second avoidance card grooves 533 corresponding to the multiple force storage torsion springs 700 on the circumference of the first inner cylinder 530 does not exceed the first preset angle.

[0049] In this embodiment, a high-pressure large-caliber ball further includes a hand wheel 200, and the hand wheel 200 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 630, and the rotating shell 600 is driven to rotate by rotating the hand wheel 200.

[0050] In a high-pressure large-diameter ball valve of the present invention, when it is closed or open, the first elastic block 710 cooperates with the first avoidance groove 523, and the inner ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 cannot rotate further due to the obstruction of the second baffle portion 531, or the second elastic block 720 cooperates with the second avoidance groove 533, and the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 cannot rotate further due to the obstruction of the first baffle portion 521, and the force storage torsion spring 700 is in a force storage state.

[0051] For ease of description, the force storage torsion spring 700 is set to be a spiral structure that spirally extends from its inner ring to its outer ring in a counterclockwise direction. The valve core is set to be in a closed state in the initial state, and the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 cannot be further rotated in the clockwise direction due to the obstruction of the first baffle portion 521. The second elastic block 720 cooperates with the second avoidance slot 533, and the second raised section 621 prevents the second elastic block 720 from disengaging from the second avoidance slot 533. The force storage torsion spring 700 is in a force storage state. At this time, the two ends of the telescopic sleeve 810 are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the rotating shaft 400 and the first outer cylinder 510, and the telescopic sleeve 810 is in contact with one side of the arc platform 420 on the rotating shaft 400. Figures 9 to 14As shown, the hand wheel 200 is rotated counterclockwise to drive the rotating shell 600 to rotate, and the rotating shell 600 pushes the arc platform 420 through the telescopic sleeve rod 810 to make the rotating shaft 400 rotate synchronously. When the rotating shell 600 rotates to the second protruding section 621 passing over the second avoidance slot 533 on the corresponding second slide slot 532, the block 712 of the second elastic block 720 is disengaged from the second avoidance slot 533 under the action of the first tension spring 711, and the force storage torsion spring 700 pushes the rotating shell 600 to rotate counterclockwise through the second elastic block 720 under the action of restoring deformation, thereby increasing the force for the rotation of the rotating shell 600. When there are multiple force storage torsion springs 700, the multiple force storage torsion springs 700 are released in sequence to increase the force for the rotation of the rotating shell 600 in batches. After the rotating shaft 400 rotates by a first preset angle, the stop block 410 on the rotating shaft 400 abuts against the other side wall of the limiting groove 534, and the valve core is in a fully open state. At the same time, the telescopic sleeve 810 is disengaged from the arc platform 420 on the rotating shaft 400 under the action of the second tension spring 820, and cooperates with the yield groove 511 on the inner wall of the first outer tube 510. The rotating shell 600 continues to rotate counterclockwise, first making the multiple force storage torsion springs 700 fully recover to the natural extension state, then the first raised section 611 on the rotating shell 600 abuts against the first elastic block 710, and drives the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 to rotate counterclockwise, and the inner ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 rotates until it abuts against the second baffle portion 531 and stops rotating, and the outer ring of the force storage torsion spring 700 continues to rotate with the rotating shell 600 so that the force storage torsion spring 700 is stretched, and when the first raised section 611 pushes the first elastic block 710 to move to the first avoidance slot 523, the inclined surface of the first raised section 611 pushes the first elastic block 710 to cooperate with the first avoidance slot 523, and the first raised section 611 continues to rotate with the rotating shell 600 to prevent the first elastic block 710 from disengaging from the first avoidance slot 523, so that the force storage torsion spring 700 maintains the force storage state. After the rotating shell 600 rotates to the second preset angle relative to the rotating shaft 400, all the force storage torsion springs 700 are in the force storage state. Since the force stored by the force storage torsion springs 700 is the force in the circumferential direction of the intermediate cylinder 520, and the inner and outer ends of the force storage torsion springs 700 are both restricted by the fixed shell 500, it will not affect the rotation of the rotating shell 600, nor will it affect the opening and closing of the valve core. In addition, during the rotation of the rotating shell 600 relative to the rotating shaft 400, the telescopic sleeve 810 has been disengaged from the clearance groove 511, and the two ends of the telescopic sleeve 810 are respectively in contact with the arc platform 420 and the inner wall of the first outer cylinder 510. When the rotating shell 600 rotates to the second preset angle relative to the rotating shaft 400, the telescopic sleeve 810 passes over the arc platform 420 and abuts against the rotating shaft 400.

[0052] When the valve core needs to be rotated to close next time, the hand wheel 200 only needs to be rotated clockwise to make the rotating shell 600 rotate clockwise by the sum of the first preset angle and the second preset angle.

[0053] 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.
