[0002] A ball valve is a conventional device used to control the transport of fluids and particulate matter. It is commonly used in various pipelines or pressure vessels to control the opening and closing of these pipelines or pressure vessels. A ball is used as an opening and closing member within the ball valve. The opening and closing of the valve are achieved by adjusting the position of the ball within the valve. Conventional ball valves are divided into hard-sealed ball valves and soft-sealed ball valves depending on their application. Hard-sealed ball valves are made of metal, while soft-sealed ball valves are made of plastic. During the machining of the hard-sealed valve seat of a ball valve, a lathe is required to perform various cutting and drilling operations on the hard-sealed valve seat. Cutting operations are performed on the interior of the hard-sealed valve seat to facilitate the fit of the ball with the inner wall of the valve seat. Drilling operations on the valve seat facilitate subsequent installation of the valve seat or the insertion of other operating components onto the valve seat. Therefore, when machining the valve seat on a lathe, multiple and varied cutting operations are often required to complete the molding of the valve seat.

[0003] In the prior art, when a ball valve is processed using a machining lathe, the valve seat needs to be processed multiple times by the machining lathe.

[0040] A plurality of position clamping mechanisms are provided in the processing machine box 40, and the position clamping mechanisms correspond to the position adjustment mechanisms one by one.

After the subsequent conveyor belt structure 6 rises, the clamping operation on the valve seat is released, so that the valve seat is moved to the two conveyor belt structures 6, so that the conveyor belt structure 6 can transport the valve seat. Using the above method, the valve seat can also be moved from the conveyor belt structure 6 to between the two rotating frames 11.

[0041] Furthermore, in order to collect and process the debris generated during the valve seat cutting process, a mounting frame 33 is provided in the transfer chamber 3, and a third electric cylinder 34 is provided on the transfer chamber 3.

Then, during the valve seat cutting process, the cut metal debris enters the receiving hopper 35, and then cleaning liquid is added to the annular water injection cylinder 37 through the water inlet interface 39. The cleaning liquid is sprayed out through the water spray pipe 38 to discharge the metal debris collected in the receiving hopper 35, and the cleaning liquid drives the metal debris to be discharged from the discharge pipe 36.

[0042] The working principle of the ball valve hard seal valve seat processing lathe:

[0043] First, adjust the height of the distance-adjusting box 5 in the transfer chamber 3, then move the valve seat between the two conveyor belt structures 6, and use the conveyor belt structure 6 to drive the valve seat to be transported in the direction of the two nearest rotating racks 11. After the valve seat is moved between the bottoms of the corresponding two rotating racks 11, start the second electric cylinder 26 to drive the sliding trough 25, the mounting piece 27 and the mounting cylinder 29 to descend, so that the two positioning sensors 30 correspond to each other through the hollow valve seat, and determine that the mounting cylinder 29 corresponds to the center point of the valve seat. Then start the double-headed electric cylinder 28 to drive the two mounting pieces 27 to move relative to each other, so that the mounting cylinder 29 contacts the end surface of the valve seat, and then clamps the valve seat. Then, the first electric cylinder 10 drives the distance-adjusting box 5 to descend, so that the conveyor belt structure 6 descends together, and then start the second electric cylinder 26 to make the height of the valve seat correspond to the position of the two rotating racks 11.

[0044] Start the fourth drive motor 32 to drive the bidirectional screw 2 31 to rotate, adjust the distance between the two mounting trusses 4, and when the rotating frame 11 moves toward the valve seat, the arc clamping member 19 contacts the valve seat. Under the action of the spring damper 18, the arc clamping member 19 clamps the valve seat. When it is necessary to perform cutting operations on multiple positions of the valve seat, start the second drive motor 14 to drive the rotating shaft 12 and the driving wheel 13 to rotate, so that the driving wheel 13 drives the valve seat to rotate. When it is necessary to drive the valve seat to adjust another angle, start the third drive motor 22, and drive the adjustment shaft 16 to rotate through the meshing operation of the transmission worm gear 23 and the transmission worm 24. After the two rotating frames 11 are meshed together through the meshing slot 20 and the meshing plug 21, the two rotating frames 11 rotate along the adjusting shaft 16 to adjust the position of the valve seat so that the valve seat can be fully cut.

[0045] Embodiment 2: This embodiment 2 is based on a ball valve hard seal valve seat processing lathe and also proposes a ball valve hard seal valve seat processing method, including the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: Conveying the valve seat: Start the first electric cylinder 10 to drive the distance adjustment box 5 to rise between the multiple lifting chutes 9. Start the first drive motor 8 to drive the bidirectional screw 7 to rotate according to the volume of the valve seat to be processed, adjust the positions of the two conveying boxes in the distance adjustment box 5, and then place the valve seat between the two conveyor belt structures 6 in the processing box 40. The conveyor belt structures 6 convey the valve seat and move the valve seat to the bottom of the two nearest rotating racks 11.

[0047] Step 2: Clamping the valve seat: Start the second electric cylinder 26 to drive the sliding trough 25, the mounting member 27, and the mounting cylinder 29 to descend, so that the two positioning sensors 30 pass through the hollow valve seat and correspond to each other. Then, it is determined that the center point of the mounting cylinder 29 corresponds to the valve seat. Then, start the double-headed electric cylinder 28 to drive the two mounting members 27 to move relative to each other, so that the mounting cylinder 29 contacts the end surface of the valve seat, and then the valve seat is clamped.

[0048] Step 3: Adjust the position of the valve seat: Start the second electric cylinder 26 to adjust the height of the valve seat to the position of the two rotating frames 11. Then start the first electric cylinder 10 to drive the distance adjustment box 5 to descend, and the conveyor belt structure 6 to descend together, reserving space for the movement of the rotating frame 11.

[0049] Step 4: Secondary clamping: Start the fourth drive motor 32 to rotate the second bidirectional screw 31, adjust the distance between the two mounting trusses 4, and when the rotating frame 11 moves toward the valve seat, the arc-shaped clamping member 19 contacts the valve seat. Under the action of the spring damper 18, the arc-shaped clamping member 19 clamps the valve seat.

[0050] Step 5: Adjusting the valve seat position: After the valve seat is clamped between the two rotating frames 11, the valve seat is processed using the lathe processing end 2, and then the second drive motor 14 is started to drive the rotating shaft 12 and the driving wheel 13 to rotate, so that the driving wheel 13 drives the valve seat to rotate. When it is necessary to drive the valve seat to adjust another angle, the third drive motor 22 is started, and the adjustment shaft 16 is driven to rotate through the meshing operation of the transmission worm gear 23 and the transmission worm 24. After the two rotating frames 11 are meshed together through the meshing slots 20 and the meshing plugs 21, the two rotating frames 11 rotate along the adjustment shaft 16 to adjust the position of the valve seat so that the valve seat can be fully cut.

[0051] Step 6: Valve seat processing: Through the above method, the valve seat is fully cut between the multiple lathe processing ends 2.

[0052] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
