[0049] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a self-locking valve coupling, including a valve body 1 and a lock body 4.

[0051] The valve bodies 1 adopt two groups of identical structures, and locking surfaces 2 are respectively provided on the front end surfaces of the two groups of valve bodies 1, and the locking and fixation between the two groups of valve bodies 1 is achieved by mutual locking of the locking surfaces 2.

[0052] like Figure 3As shown, an inner cavity 101 penetrating front to back is formed in the middle part of the valve body 1, and a ball valve 3 is provided in the inner cavity 101, so that the ball valve 3 is rotatably connected perpendicular to the flow direction of the inner cavity 101, and a penetrating ball hole 301 is formed in the middle part of the ball valve 3, and the blocking / penetration of the inner cavity 101 is achieved by the deflection of the ball valve 3, that is, when the ball hole 301 is in the same direction as the flow direction of the inner cavity 101, full opening and penetration are achieved, and when the ball hole 301 is perpendicular to the flow direction of the inner cavity 101, the ball valve 3 forms a blockage in the flow direction of the inner cavity 101.

[0053] An annular connecting groove 103 is provided on the outer edge of the front end surface of the inner cavity 101 where the valve body 1 is located (in order to improve the overall strength of the valve body 1, a one-time casting method can be adopted), and a sealing ring 102 is carried in the connecting groove 102. The sealing ring 102 is annular in structure as a whole, and a reinforcing inner rib 1021 is provided along the diameter of the inner side of the inner wall where the sealing ring 102 is located. This reinforcing inner rib 1021 can form a support in the thickness direction (such as Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the height of the outer end face of the sealing ring 102 is higher than the height of the outer end face of the annular connecting groove 103. When the end faces of the sealing rings 102 on the two sets of valve bodies 1 contact each other, the gaps that can form a contact are sealed by the sealing rings 102, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the inner cavity 101 when transmitting fluid.

[0054] The bottom center of the ball valve 3 is fixed in the vertical direction by the first limit pin 302, and the top center of the ball valve 3 is fixed in the vertical direction by the second limit pin 303, and the ball valve 3 can be rotated along the central axis direction where the first limit pin 302 and the second limit pin 303 are located. In this way, the ball valve 3 can be freely switched in the inner cavity 101.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, a guide groove 304 is provided on the upper part of the outer wall where the ball valve 3 is located, which is synchronized with the opening direction of the ball hole 301, and the lower part of the second limit pin 303 is embedded in the guide groove 304, so that when the second limit pin 303 rotates, it synchronously drives the ball valve 3 located in the guide groove 304 to rotate along the central axis direction, that is, when the ball hole 301 of the ball valve 3 is coaxial with the inner cavity 101, the entire ball valve 3 is in an open state, and the opened ball valve 3 will be impacted by the fluid and produce an impact on the front end face of the valve body 1. At this time, the second limit pin 303 is connected to the upper part of the ball valve 3 in a non-completely fixed manner, so the impact on the ball valve 3 produces a movement margin in the impact direction, which can reduce the direct impact on the inner wall of the ball valve 3 (that is, the entire ball valve 3 is in a floating state) and extend its service life. At this time, an annular buffer ring 305 is provided at the front end of the ball valve 3 and the inner side of the inner cavity 101 (see for details). Fig.14), the buffer ring 305 can fill the gap between the front end of the ball valve 3 and the inner cavity 101, and can reduce the overflow from the connection gap of the ball valve 3 when the corrosive liquid flows, thereby affecting the service life of the ball valve 3.

[0056] When the ball valve 3 is closed as a whole, the direction of the guide groove 304 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the inner cavity 101, so that the ball valve 3 can be completely closed to form a closure on the inner cavity 101, and the vertical setting of the guide groove 304 will not cause floating or shaking, so its overall airtightness is higher.

[0057] The locking surface 2 includes a protrusion 21, an enlarged opening 22 and an arc-shaped notch 23. The protrusion 21 is arranged perpendicular to the end surface where the locking surface 2 is located, and the enlarged opening 22 is flush with the front end surface where the locking surface 2 is located. At the same time, an arc-shaped notch 23 is formed in the transition area between the protrusion 41 and the enlarged opening 42; at this time, the protrusion 21 located on one group of valve bodies 1 cooperates and embeds into the arc-shaped notch 23 on the other group of valve bodies 1, and then the two groups of valve bodies 1 rotate relative to each other, so that the front end of the protrusion 21 on one group of valve bodies 1 is embedded into the bottom of the enlarged opening 22 on the other group of valve bodies 1, that is, the two groups of valve bodies 1 are locked with each other. In order to ensure the firmness of the locking, an arched protrusion 211 is formed outward at the front end where the protrusion 21 is located, so that the protrusion 211 and the inner wall of the enlarged opening 22 on the other group of upper valve bodies 1 are locked with each other, that is, when the two groups of valve bodies 1 are locked with each other, they can also withstand a larger pressure-bearing capacity.

[0058] The outer end of the valve body 1 is connected to a tower connection part 5, the front end of the tower connection part 5 is implanted in the inner cavity 101 of the valve body 1, and the rear end extends outward and can be externally connected to pipes or pipelines, that is, it can be adjusted and installed according to actual needs.

[0059] The inner diameter of the middle through hole where the tower connection part 5 is located is set to be the same as the ball hole 301 of the ball valve 3, thereby ensuring smoothness and stability during the retransmission of the fluid.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, the outer wall of the front end portion where the tower connection portion 5 is located is provided with an annular bearing groove 501, and the annular bearing groove 501 is arranged in a plurality of groups along the extension direction of the central axis of the tower connection portion 5, and a sealing fastening ring 502 is provided in the annular bearing groove 501, and the sealing fastening ring 502 is a notched annular structure (such as Fig.10 As shown), the sealing fastening ring 502 with a notch is convenient for installation with the annular bearing groove 501, and when the tower connecting part 5 is connected to the rear end of the valve body 1, it fits with the inner wall of the valve body 1, thereby improving the fastening performance and the overall sealing performance.

[0061] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9As shown, an annular embedding groove 111 is opened on the inner wall of the outer end portion where the valve body 1 is located, so that the annular embedding groove 111 and the innermost annular bearing groove 501 where the tower connecting part 5 is located are matched with each other, and an annular protrusion 503 is extended outward from the outer periphery of the tower connecting part 5 where the annular bearing groove 501 is located, so that the annular protrusion 503 forms a limit for the outer end portion where the valve body 1 is located; therefore, during assembly, the annular protrusion 503 can match the connection position between the valve body 1 and the tower connecting part 5, reduce the occurrence of misalignment, thereby achieving the mutual engagement and matching between the sealing fastening ring 502 and the annular protrusion 503 and the annular bearing groove 501 at the same time.

[0062] The outermost side surface of the annular embedding groove 111 is a vertical surface, and is arranged as an inclined surface structure near the position where the ball valve 3 is located. This method facilitates the installation of the annular protrusion 503. During assembly, the sealing fastening ring 502 and the annular bearing groove 501 are directly engaged with each other, and then the tower connecting part 5 is implanted into the rear end portion where the valve body 1 is located.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, the lock body 4 includes a lock platform 41, a rotating handle 42 (such as Fig.11 As shown), the first locking member 43, the second locking member 44 (as shown Fig.12 As shown), the locking platform 41 is located on the outer wall where the valve body 1 is located (and forms an integral part with the outer wall of the valve body 1); the rotating handle 42 is connected to the second limit pin 303, and the deflection movement of the ball valve 3 is synchronously driven by the rotation of the rotating handle 42.

[0064] The first locking member 43 locks and fixes the rotating handle 42 and the locking platform 41;

[0065] The second locking member 44 is arranged along the flow direction of the valve body 1 and simultaneously passes through the connecting holes 401 located on the two groups of valve bodies 1 , and the second locking member 44 is locked by the first locking member 43 .

[0066] like Fig.13 As shown, an arc-shaped limiting protrusion 411 is provided on the surface where the locking platform 41 is located, and the arc-shaped limiting protrusion 411 is 90 degrees as a whole, and a sunken embedding opening 412 is provided at the end where the arc-shaped limiting protrusion 411 is located, so that the sunken embedding opening 412 is used to support the rotating handle 42. When the rotating handle 42 is embedded in the position of the sunken embedding opening 412 in the same extension direction as the inner cavity 101, the ball valve 3 is in an open state and serves to fix the rotating handle 42. When the rotating handle 42 is embedded in the position of the sunken embedding opening 412 perpendicular to the extension direction of the inner cavity 101, the ball valve 3 is in a closed state.

[0067] Two groups of first connecting holes 421 are opened transversely on the side where the rotating handle 42 is located (that is, the first connecting holes 421 pass through the width direction of the rotating handle 42), and the two groups of first connecting holes 421 are distributed up and down, and a second connecting hole 422 is opened on the front end seat 402 where the rotating handle 42 is located; when the second connecting hole 422 matches the upper first connecting hole 421 on the side where the rotating handle 42 is located, and is fixed through the first locking piece 43, the rotating handle 42 will be embedded in the sunken embedding port 412 in the same extension direction as the inner cavity 101, that is, the ball hole 301 where the ball valve 3 is located is fully opened.

[0068] When the second connecting hole 422 matches the first connecting hole 421 of the upper and lower layers at the side where the rotating handle 42 is located, the first locking piece 43 is passed through and fixed. At this time, the outer end of the rotating handle 42 will be tilted up and disconnected from the sunken embedding port 412, and then the whole is rotated until the rotating handle 42 drives the ball valve 3 to rotate 90 degrees (the ball valve 3 as a whole forms a blockage to the interior of the inner cavity 101), and then the end of the rotating handle 42 continues to be placed in the sunken embedding port 412, and the first locking piece 43 is passed through the upper first connecting hole 421 and the second connecting hole 422 at the same time again, thereby limiting the relative position of the rotating handle 42.

[0069] The ends where the second locking member 44 is located form an annular ring, and the first locking member 43 on the ball valves 3 at both sides locks the second locking member 44 synchronously. That is, when the ball valve 3 is opened, the first locking member 43 on the valve bodies 1 at both ends locks the rotating handle 42, and when the ball valve 3 is closed, the first locking member 43 on the valve bodies 1 at both ends locks the rotating handle 42 (at this time, the two groups of first locking members 43 are close to each other, and the two groups of first locking members 43 are locked simultaneously by the second locking member 44 again, ensuring the stability of the first locking member 43 after locking), and at the same time, the second locking member 44 will synchronously penetrate the connecting holes 401 on the two groups of valve bodies 1 (in the locked state, the connecting holes 401 on the two groups of valve bodies 1 will be coaxially arranged).

[0070] The design of the self-locking valve coupling is not only suitable for multiple industries such as water treatment, petrochemicals, and food processing, but can also be customized according to different fluid characteristics and working environments to meet the market's demand for efficient fluid control. With the development of industrial automation and intelligence, the application potential of this valve coupling will be further expanded.

[0071] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
