When using the plug valve, it can be fixedly connected to external equipment through the flanges on the left and right sides of the valve body 1.

[0028] The uniform grease injection mechanism 3 includes a rotating groove 31, a rotating disk 33, worm gear teeth 35, a grease leakage hole 36 and a worm 39. The rotating groove 31 is opened on the upper surface of the valve body 1, and the rotating groove 31 is rotatably connected with the rotating disk 33. The outer arc surface of the rotating disk 33 is provided with uniformly distributed worm gear teeth 35. The left side between the front and rear inner walls of the rotating groove 31 is rotatably connected with the worm gear 39, and the worm gear 39 is meshed with the worm gear teeth 35. The middle part of the upper surface of the rotating disk 33 is provided with uniformly distributed grease leakage holes 36, and the lower surface of the rotating groove 31 is provided with uniformly distributed through holes, and the eight through holes are connected to the valve groove 2; the uniform grease injection mechanism 3 also includes a pressing grease injection component 37, which includes a fixed cylinder 371, a spring 372, a sliding column 373 and an arc plug column 374. The fixed cylinder 371 is uniformly arranged on the upper surface of the valve cover 4, and the interior of the fixed cylinder 371 is slidably connected with the sliding column 373. The sliding column 3 The lower sides of 73 are respectively provided with arc-shaped plug columns 374, and the upper ends of the sliding columns 373 are respectively fixedly connected with springs 372, and the upper ends of the eight springs 372 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper side walls of the fixed cylinders 371 located at the same position; the uniform grease injection mechanism 3 also includes a grease injection port 38, which is opened on the left side of the upper surface of the valve cover 4, and the inner arc surface of the grease injection port 38 is provided with an internal thread; the uniform grease injection mechanism 3 also includes a convex ring 32 and a limiting groove 34, the convex ring 32 is respectively fixedly connected to the lower surface of the valve cover 4 and the lower side wall of the rotating groove 31, the upper surface and the lower surface of the rotating disk 33 are respectively provided with limiting grooves 34, and the two limiting grooves 34 are respectively rotatably connected to the outer surfaces of the convex rings 32 corresponding to the upper and lower positions, and the front end of the worm 39 is fixedly connected with a grease injection handle 7, and the outer arc surface fixed sleeve of the grease injection handle 7 is provided with a rubber anti-slip sleeve, and then the grease injection valve is screwed into the interior of the grease injection port 38 through the internal thread.

[0029] The present invention: when the plug valve is used, the flanges on the left and right sides of the valve body 1 can be used to fix the connection with the external equipment, and then the grease injection valve can be screwed into the grease injection port 38 through the internal thread. During use, the valve body opening and closing rotating rod 8 can be manually rotated so that the end of the valve body opening and closing rotating rod 8 can rotate around the central axis of the connecting rod 6, thereby driving the valve core 5 to rotate forward and reverse in the valve groove 2, thereby causing the flow hole in the middle of the valve core 5 to rotate forward, forward and reverse, thereby realizing the opening and closing function of the plug valve;

[0030] After the plug valve has been used for a period of time, it is necessary to perform grease injection to ensure smooth rotation of the valve core 5. At this time, the grease injection valve can be adjusted to continuously introduce grease into the upper inner side of the turntable 33 (the grease will remain between the upper surface of the turntable 33 and the lower surface of the valve cover 4. The inner arc surface of the turntable 33 extends upward with a fixed cylinder. The grease is limited by the fixed cylinder and will not flow into the sealing ring 9). During this period, the grease injection handle 7 can be manually rotated to drive the worm 39 to rotate, and then the turntable 33 is driven to rotate through the worm gear teeth 35. During the rotation of the turntable 33, the arc-shaped plug 374 will stir the grease so that it fills the middle between the turntable 33 and the valve cover 4 more evenly.

[0031] Whenever the arc-shaped plug 374 corresponds to the upper and lower positions of the grease leakage hole 36, the arc-shaped plug 374 will be pushed into the grease leakage hole 36 under the influence of the elastic force of the spring 372. Thanks to the bucket-shaped design of the grease leakage hole 36, when the arc-shaped plug 374 enters the grease leakage hole 36, the grease will be pushed into the grease leakage hole 36, and then pushed along the through hole to between the inner arc surface of the valve groove 2 and the outer arc surface of the valve core 5, completing a relatively uniform grease injection operation; whenever the arc-shaped plug 374 leaves the grease leakage hole 36, the arc surface of the arc-shaped plug 374 will stick to the orifice of the grease leakage hole 36, and push the arc-shaped plug 374 upward, to ensure the smooth effect of the arc-shaped plug 374 leaving and entering the grease leakage hole 36.

[0032] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
