DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention includes the following embodiments: Embodiment 1: A ball valve that is easy to install, comprising a ball valve 1 and a pneumatic actuator 2 connected to the top of the ball valve 1; the ball valve 1 is plugged into a transmission hole 21 on the lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2 through a valve stem 11; the ball valve 1 is in contact with the lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2 through a mounting plate 3; The four corners of the mounting plate 3 are provided with through holes 31; the through holes 31 are movably connected to the plug 4; the upper end of the plug 4 extends out of the through hole 31, and the outer wall is provided with a slot 41; the bottom of the slot 41 transitions in an arc shape toward the outer wall of the plug 4; the lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2 is provided with a plug hole 22 corresponding to the through hole 31; the hole wall of the plug hole 22 is provided with a groove 23; the groove 23 is slidably connected with a block 24; the block 24 is connected to the bottom of the groove 23 through a first spring 25; the block 24 can be inserted into the slot 41 under the elastic force of the first spring 25; the block 24 is separated from the slot 41 when the plug 4 is rotating.
[0023] In this embodiment, a rotation groove 32 connected to the middle part of the through hole 31 is provided inside the mounting plate 3; the gear ring 5 is rotatably connected inside the rotation groove 32; the gear ring 5 is connected to the outer wall of the plug 4; the front and rear side walls of the mounting plate 3 are penetrated by tooth grooves 33; the tooth groove 33 is simultaneously connected to two rotation grooves 32; the tooth groove 33 is slidably connected to a rack 6; the rack 6 is simultaneously meshed with the two gear rings 5 for transmission; the rack 6 can drive the slots 41 on the two plugs 4 to disengage from the corresponding blocks 24 when moving.
[0024] In this embodiment, the compressed end of the rack 6 is fixedly connected to the pressing block 61; the pressing block 61 is connected to the mounting plate 3 via a second spring 62; the second spring 62 is sleeved on the outside of the rack 6; the end of the rack 6 away from the pressing block 61 is fixedly connected to the limit block 63; the cross-section of the limit block 63 is larger than the cross-section of the tooth groove 33; the rack 6 drives the slot 41 on the plug 4 to correspond to the position of the groove 23 under the elastic force of the second spring 62; the rack 6 drives the slot 41 on the plug 4 to deviate from the corresponding groove 23 under the pressure.
[0025] In this embodiment, the side of the plug 4 close to the bottom of the hole 22 is tilted toward the corresponding groove 23 in the initial state of the plug 4; the block 24 in the hole 22 can be retracted into the corresponding groove 23 under the pressure of the upper end of the plug 4; During operation, for some pneumatic ball valves 1 that are frequently operated for a long time, the pneumatic actuator 2 in the pneumatic ball valve 1 may fail or be damaged. In order not to affect the use of the pneumatic ball valve 1, the pneumatic actuator 2 in the pneumatic ball valve 1 is generally replaced without disassembling the ball valve 1. The ball valve 1 and the pneumatic actuator 2 in the current market are connected by bolts, and the operating space between the ball valve 1 and the pneumatic actuator 2 is limited. Under the existing connection method, the process of removing the pneumatic actuator 2 from the ball valve 1 is time-consuming and laborious, thereby affecting the use of the pneumatic ball valve 1. Therefore, before the pneumatic ball valve 1 is put into use, the staff of the present invention will check that the ball valve 1 and the pneumatic actuator 2 are in good condition, install the ball valve 1 on the pipeline, and connect the pneumatic actuator 2 to the air source. The pneumatic ball valve 1 is controlled and operated by the controller, and the controller controls the pneumatic actuator 2 to drive the ball valve 1 to open and close. After the pneumatic ball valve 1 has been used for a long time, if the pneumatic actuator 2 in the pneumatic ball valve 1 fails, the staff will remove the failed pneumatic actuator 2 from above the ball valve 1, specifically by touching and squeezing the pressing block 61 so that the pressing block 61 The pressure overcomes the second spring 62 and moves close to the mounting plate 3. The pressure on the pressing block 61 drives the rack 6 to move in the tooth groove 33. The limit block 63 moves away from the mounting plate 3 under the movement of the rack 6. The rack 6 drives the meshing gear ring 5 to rotate in the corresponding rotation groove 32 during the movement of the gear ring 5. The corresponding plug 4 is driven to rotate during the rotation of the gear ring 5. The slot 41 on the plug 4 rotates in the corresponding socket 22 as the plug 4 rotates. Since the bottom of the slot 41 and the outer wall of the plug 4 are in an arc-shaped transition, the slot 41 rotates as the plug 4 rotates. The corresponding block 24 will be squeezed until the slot 41 of the plug 4 is away from the groove 23. The block 24 will overcome the first spring 25 and retract into the groove 23 under the pressure of the outer wall of the plug 4, thus realizing the unlocking process of the slot 41 and the block 24. When both racks 6 are pressed and moved, the four plugs 4 are unlocked in their respective sockets 22. Then the staff only needs to move the pneumatic actuator 2 away from the ball valve 1, so that the upper end of the plug 4 is moved out of the socket 22 on the lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2, and the valve on the ball valve 1 is opened. The upper end of the rod 11 is also moved out of the transmission hole 21 on the lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2, and the removal process of the pneumatic actuator 2 is completed; then the two pressing blocks 61 are released, and the second spring 62 pushes the pressing block 61 to move away from the mounting plate 3 when the pressing block 61 is released. In the process of the pressing block 61 moving away from the mounting plate 3, the rack 6 is driven to move in the tooth groove 33. In the process of the rack 6 moving in the tooth groove 33, the gear ring 5 is driven to rotate in the corresponding rotation groove 32 in the opposite direction, so that the gear ring 5 drives the corresponding plug 4 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset;After the staff gets the new pneumatic actuator 2, they will align the transmission hole 21 of the pneumatic actuator 2 with the upper end of the valve stem 11, and align the socket 22 with the plug 4, and then control the pneumatic actuator 2 to approach the mounting plate 3 on the ball valve 1. As the upper end of the plug 4 enters the corresponding inner side of the socket 22, since the upper side of the plug 4 is inclined toward the groove 23 in the corresponding socket 22, the block 24 is squeezed and overcomes the first spring 25 to retract into the groove 23 under the inclined guidance of the upper side of the plug 4, until the upper end of the plug 4 continues to approach the bottom of the socket 22 and crosses the groove 23, until the position of the card groove 41 on the plug 4 corresponds to the groove 23, and the card block 24 extends out from the groove 23 under the elastic force of the first spring 25 and enters the card groove 41 on the plug 4, so that the plug 4 is stuck by the card block 24, completing the plug 4 In the process of being locked into the socket 22, when the plug 4 enters the corresponding socket 22, the upper end of the valve stem 11 will enter the transmission hole 21 on the lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2, completing the connection between the new pneumatic actuator 2 and the original ball valve 1, and then the controller controls the pneumatic ball valve 1 to work, and the pneumatic actuator 2 drives the ball valve 1 to work under the control of the controller; in the working process of the pneumatic ball valve 1, the second spring 62 will always give an elastic force to the pressing block 61, and the limit block 63 will contact the outer wall of the mounting plate 3 under the push of the second spring 62 on the pressing block 61, so that the rack 6 and the tooth groove 33 are kept in a relatively prohibited state under the cooperation of the second spring 62 and the limit block 63, so that the plug 4 will not rotate when the rack 6 is relatively still, ensuring the stability of the plug 4 connected to the socket 22, so that the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1 are stably connected; The present invention realizes the unlocking and disassembly of the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1 by pressing the rack 6 to drive the plug 4 to rotate in the insertion hole 22, and realizes the locking connection between the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1 by directly inserting the plug 4 into the insertion hole 22. Compared with the bolt connection in the prior art, the installation and disassembly time of the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1 is greatly reduced. At the same time, compared with the prior art, the present application is more labor-saving and convenient to operate, meeting the use demand of the pneumatic ball valve 1 for quick disassembly; The design of the present invention is not only convenient and quick in replacement, but is also more convenient and quick than traditional bolt connections during production and assembly, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0026] Embodiment 2: This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: The limit block 63 is in contact with the side wall of the mounting plate 3 under the action of the second spring 62 in the initial state; the two racks 6 are arranged symmetrically about the center position of the mounting plate 3; the two racks 6 slide in the corresponding tooth grooves 33 to drive the bolt 4 to unlock in opposite directions; During operation, when it is necessary to unlock and disassemble the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1, it is only necessary to press the pressing block 61 to overcome the second spring 62 and move it close to the mounting plate 3, so that the corresponding plug 4 can be unlocked from the insertion hole 22. For some pneumatic ball valves 1 with more complicated installation environments, the unlocking sliding directions of the two racks 6 are set in opposite directions, that is, one of the racks 6 moves from front to back in the corresponding tooth groove 33 under the pressure of the pressing block 61, and the other rack 6 moves from back to front in the corresponding tooth groove 33 under the pressure of the pressing block 61. In this way, The unlocking process of the four plugs 4 in the corresponding sockets 22 can be completed. This means that the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1 can only be unlocked when the two racks 6 are squeezed in different directions. Even if there are foreign objects around the pneumatic ball valve 1, the disassembly process of the pneumatic ball valve 1 can only be achieved when the two-way squeezing conditions of the two racks 6 are met. This greatly reduces the probability of the pneumatic ball valve 1 being disassembled due to the foreign objects touching the pressing block 61 and driving the rack 6 to move, thereby providing protection for the stable operation of the pneumatic ball valve 1 in complex environments.
[0027] Embodiment 3, this embodiment is different from embodiment 2 in that: The groove wall of the tooth groove 33 is provided with a locking groove 34; the locking groove 34 is arranged near the edge of the mounting plate 3; the locking groove 34 is located between the corresponding two rotating grooves 32; the locking plate 38 is connected to the locking groove 34 in a sliding seal; the locking plate 38 is fixedly connected to the rack 6; the rack 6 can drive the locking plate 38 to slide in the locking groove 34; the end of the rack 6 connected to the pressing block 61 is movably sealed and connected to the tooth groove 33; the locking plate 38 divides the locking groove 34 into a near spring cavity 341 and a far spring cavity 342; the near spring cavity 341 is arranged near the second spring 62; the side wall of the mounting plate 3 is connected to the inside of the near spring cavity 341 through an unlocking hole 35; The outer wall of the mounting plate 3 where the unlocking hole 35 is provided is adjacent to the outer wall where the tooth groove 33 is provided; the side wall of the mounting plate 3 is provided with an L-shaped groove 36; the L-shaped groove 36 passes through the unlocking hole 35; the L-shaped groove 36 is slidingly and sealably connected to an L-shaped block 7; the L-shaped block 7 and the groove wall of the L-shaped groove 36 are connected by a third spring 71; a connecting hole 72 is penetrated through the L-shaped block 7; one end of the L-shaped block 7 extends to the outside of the mounting plate 3; the connecting hole 72 overcomes the third spring 71 and is connected to the unlocking hole 35 when one end of the L-shaped block 7 is toggled; the connecting hole 72 on the L-shaped block 7 is staggered from the unlocking hole 35 under the action of the third spring 71.
[0028] In this embodiment, the side wall of the mounting plate 3 is connected to the remote spring cavity 342 through the second air hole 37; a one-way air inlet valve is arranged in the second air hole 37; the gas in the remote spring cavity 342 is pressurized and can be discharged along the gap between the end of the rack 6 close to the limit block 63 and the bottom of the tooth groove 33; During operation, when the staff needs to remove the pneumatic actuator 2 from the ball valve 1, the staff will first move the L-shaped block 7 to overcome the third spring 71 to move in the L-shaped groove 36, and the connecting hole 72 is connected with the unlocking hole 35 when the L-shaped block 7 is moved, so that the unlocking hole 35 is opened, so that the near spring cavity 341 is connected with the outside through the connecting hole 72 and the unlocking hole 35, and then press the pressing block 61 to overcome the second spring 62 to drive the rack 6 to move in the tooth groove 33, and the rack 6 will drive the corresponding When the gear ring 5 and the plug 4 rotate, the lock plate 38 will be driven to slide in the lock groove 34. The lock plate 38 is slidably and sealedly connected with the lock groove 34. Therefore, the lock plate 38 will make the space near the spring cavity 341 larger to form a negative pressure during the movement. Under the action of the negative pressure, the external gas will enter the near spring cavity 341 along the unlocking hole 35 and the connecting hole 72 to replenish the gas. The gas in the far spring cavity 342 flows between the end of the rack 6 close to the limit block 63 and the groove wall of the tooth groove 33 under the pressure of the lock plate 38. The thrust force of the teeth on the rack 6 is used to reduce the movement resistance of the rack 6 in the tooth groove 33; when the pressing block 61 is pressed to the limit position, the plug 4 will drive the card slot 41 to disengage from the card block 24, and then the staff will release the L-shaped block 7 and the pressing block 61 in sequence. When the L-shaped block 7 is released, the third spring 71 will push the L-shaped block 7 to move and reset in the L-shaped groove 36, and the connecting hole 72 will be staggered with the unlocking hole 35 after the L-shaped block 7 moves, so that the unlocking hole 35 is sealed. One end of the rack 6 connected to the pressing block 61 is movably sealed and connected to the groove wall of the tooth groove 33, so the near spring chamber 341 is in a sealed state. Even when the second spring 62 pushes the pressing block 61, the rack 6 cannot move in the tooth groove 33, so that the plug 4 is in an unlocked state in the insertion hole 22. In this way, the staff does not need to keep turning the L-shaped block 7 and pressing the pressing block 61, and can directly control the pneumatic actuator 2 to move away from the mounting plate 3 to unlock the pneumatic ball valve 1, which greatly facilitates the disassembly of the pneumatic ball valve 1;After replacing the new pneumatic actuator 2, the L-shaped block 7 will be moved in advance, so that the connecting hole 72 is connected with the unlocking hole 35 again when the L-shaped block 7 is moved, so that the near spring chamber 341 is connected with the outside world through the unlocking hole 35 and the connecting hole 72. In this way, when the second spring 62 pushes the pressing block 61 to drive the rack 6 to move in the tooth groove 33, the rack 6 will drive the locking plate 38 to move in the locking groove 34, so that the gas in the near spring chamber 341 will be squeezed by the locking plate 38 and discharged along the unlocking hole 35, and the external gas will enter the far spring chamber 342 along the second air hole 37 for replenishment. During the movement of the rack 6, the bolt 4 will be driven to rotate and reset, and then the socket 22 on the new pneumatic actuator 2 will be controlled to align with the bolt 4, and the bolt 4 will enter the socket 22, and finally make The block 24 is inserted into the slot 41 on the plug 4 to realize the locking process of the plug 4, that is, to realize the connection process of the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1. During the operation of the pneumatic ball valve 1, if the L-shaped block 7 is not moved, the foreign matter around the pneumatic ball valve 1 cannot squeeze the pressing block 61 to realize the unlocking process of the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1, so that the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1 are locked twice, further improving the operation stability of the pneumatic ball valve 1; the two racks 6 are controlled by the secondary locking of their respective L-shaped blocks 7, and the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1 can only be unlocked when the two L-shaped blocks 7 are moved and the two pressing blocks 61 are pressed in opposite directions, so that the pneumatic ball valve 1 can maintain stable connection even in some complex environments. ;
[0029] Embodiment 4, this embodiment is different from embodiment 1 in that: The outer wall of the plug 4 is vertically provided with a slide groove 42; a slider 43 is slidably connected in the slide groove 42; the upper surface of the slider 43 is connected to the groove wall of the upper end of the slide groove 42 through a fourth spring 44; the slider 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gear ring 5; the elastic force of the fourth spring 44 is greater than the elastic force of the first spring 25; the plug 4 slides inside the gear ring 5 under the push from top to bottom; During operation, when the transmission hole 21 on the lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2 is aligned with the upper end of the valve stem 11, there is no need to control the alignment of the socket 22 and the plug 4, and the pneumatic actuator 2 is directly controlled to move close to the mounting plate 3. The lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2 squeezes the plug 4 to move on the inner side of the corresponding gear ring 5, and the slide groove 42 and the slider 43 on the plug 4 move. The fourth spring 44 in the slide groove 42 on the plug 4 will be squeezed, and the plug 4 can be retracted to the through hole 31 under the squeezing of the lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2, so as to prevent the plug 4 from affecting the alignment of the transmission hole 21 on the lower surface of the pneumatic actuator 2 and the valve stem 11 when it is not aligned with the socket 22. After the valve stem 11 is aligned and inserted into the transmission hole 21, the pneumatic actuator 2 will be rotated to move on the mounting plate 3. The four insertion holes 22 correspond to the plugs 4 one by one, so that the fourth spring 44 will push the plug 4 to move out of the through hole 31 and enter the insertion hole 22. The elastic force of the fourth spring 44 is greater than that of the first spring 25. Therefore, the plug 4 squeezes the block 24 and retracts it into the groove 23 under the action of the fourth spring 44, until the plug 4 passes over the groove 23 and drives the groove 41 on the plug 4 to align with the groove 23. Then, the block 24 is clamped into the groove 41 on the plug 4 under the action of the first spring 25, completing the connection between the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1. In this embodiment, the plug 4 avoids the transmission hole 21 on the pneumatic actuator 2 and the valve stem 11 during the installation process, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty of assembling the pneumatic actuator 2 and the ball valve 1, and further improving the assembly efficiency of the pneumatic ball valve 1.
