DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0023] like Figures 1-8 The natural gas ball valve system with a leakage alarm function shown in the figure and its use method include a valve body 1, and support feet 2 are rotatably connected on both sides of the valve body 1. Monitoring collars 3 are sleeved on the outside of both ends of the valve body 1, and a semiconductor sensor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the monitoring collar 3. An alarm 301 is fixedly installed on the outside of the monitoring collar 3. An adjustment mechanism 4 is rotatably connected on the valve body 1, and a collection tank 5 is fixedly connected at one end of the adjustment mechanism 4. Exhaust pipes 6 are fixedly connected on both sides of the collection tank 5, and suction pipes 7 are fixedly connected on both sides of the collection tank 5. Anti-blocking mechanisms 8 are slidably fitted on the inner walls of both ends of the valve body 1.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the valve body 1 are symmetrically structured and are fixedly connected with an air guide tube 101 , and the outer end of the air guide tube 101 is fixedly connected with a connecting hose 102 .

[0025] like Figure 4As shown, the anti-blocking mechanism 8 includes a hole-blocking frame 801, which is movably connected to the inner wall of the air duct 101. A guide frame 802 is fixedly connected to one end of the hole-blocking frame 801. The guide frame 802 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the valve body 1. A chute block 803 is slidably engaged with one end of the guide frame 802. A spring 804 is fixedly connected between the chute block 803 and the inner wall of the valve body 1. A contact rod 805 is fixedly connected to one end of the chute block 803, and the other end of the contact rod 805 extends to the outside of the valve body 1. The spring 804 drives the hole-blocking frame 801 downward, sealing the opening of the air duct 101 and preventing debris from falling into the air duct 101 during transportation and installation of the valve body 1. The valve body 1 is connected to the pipeline. At this time, one end of the pipeline will contact and squeeze the contact rod 805, so that the contact rod 805 drives the connected inclined groove block 803 to move. At this time, the inclined groove block 803 will drive the hole blocking frame 801 connected to the guide frame 802 to move upward through the inclined groove, so that the air guide pipe 101 is conductive.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the supporting foot 2 is arranged in a U-shaped structure, and a gear 201 is fixedly connected to one end of the supporting foot 2, and an adjusting rack 202 is meshed and transmitted on one side of the gear 201, and a threaded rod 203 is threadedly connected to one end of the adjusting rack 202, and the threaded rod 203 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the valve body 1.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, a semiconductor sensor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the monitoring collar 3 , and an alarm 301 is fixedly installed on the outside of the monitoring collar 3 .

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 4 includes a rotating frame 401, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the valve body 1. One end of the rotating frame 401 is fixedly connected to the collection tank 5. An annular rack 402 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating frame 401. An adjusting wheel 403 is meshingly provided on one side of the annular rack 402. One end of the adjusting wheel 403 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the valve body 1. A worm gear 404 is fixedly connected to the adjusting wheel 403. A worm 405 is meshingly provided on one side of the worm gear 404. The worm 405 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the valve body 1. By rotating the worm gear 405, the worm gear 405 drives the adjusting wheel 403 connected to the worm gear 404 to rotate, so that the adjusting wheel 403 can drive the rotating frame 401 connected to the annular rack 402 to rotate, thereby driving the collection tank 5 to rotate to a suitable position.

[0029] like Figure 7As shown, a piston plate 501 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the collection tank 5. A support rod assembly 502 is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the piston plate 501. The other end of the support rod assembly 502 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the collection tank 5. A connecting rod 503 is rotatably mounted near the middle of the support rod assembly 502. The other end of the connecting rod 503 is rotatably mounted on a hydraulic rod A504, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the collection tank 5. Hydraulic rod A504 drives the connecting rod 503 to move, causing the other end of the connecting rod 503 to rotate the support rod assembly 502, which in turn drives the piston plate 501 upward, thereby re-injecting the natural gas collected in the collection tank 5 into the valve body 1 and the pipeline.

[0030] By providing the suction pipe 7 and collection tank 5, residual natural gas can be collected during disassembly and maintenance of the pipelines at both ends of the natural gas ball valve, preventing gas leakage into the air during the disassembly process. This reduces the risk of explosion or fire and significantly improves operational safety. By collecting residual gas, a certain amount of natural gas resources can be recovered, avoiding natural gas waste and reducing energy costs. Recovering natural gas can help save money during long-term maintenance and overhaul.

[0031] like Figure 8 As shown, the output end of the exhaust pipe 6 is fixedly connected to one of the connecting hoses 102. A sealing plug 601 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 6. The sealing plug 601 has a conical structure, with multiple spacing rods 602 fixedly mounted on the top of the sealing plug 601. A T-shaped rod 603 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the sealing plug 601. The bottom end of the T-shaped rod 603 is in movable contact with the piston plate 501. A tension spring 604 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the T-shaped rod 603. The other end of the tension spring 604 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the collection tank 5. A sealing sleeve 605 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the T-shaped rod 603. The sealing sleeve 605 is intersecting and fixedly mounted on the piston plate 501. A one-way valve is installed in the exhaust pipe 6. When the piston plate 501 moves upward, the T-shaped rod 603 is unrestricted. Under the action of the tension spring 604, the sealing plug 601 connected to the T-shaped rod 603 moves upward, and the spacing rods 602 block the sealing plug 601 from the outlet of the exhaust pipe 6.

[0032] like Figure 8As shown, a hydraulic rod B701 is fixedly attached to the bottom end of the suction pipe 7. The output end of hydraulic rod B701 extends into the suction pipe 7 and is fixedly attached to a piston block 702. The piston block 702 slides with the inner wall of the suction pipe 7. A gas injection pipe 703 is fixedly attached to one side of the suction pipe 7. The other end of the gas injection pipe 703 penetrates and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection tank 5. An air inlet pipe 704 is fixedly attached to the top end of the suction pipe 7. The air inlet pipe 704 is fixedly connected to one of the connecting hoses 102. Check valves are installed in the gas injection pipe 703 and the gas inlet pipe 704. The hydraulic rod B701 drives the piston block 702 to move back and forth, sucking the natural gas remaining in the valve body 1 and the pipeline on one side into the suction pipe 7 through the connecting hose 102, and then injecting it into the collection tank 5 through the gas injection pipe 703.

[0033] A method for using a natural gas ball valve system with a leakage alarm function specifically comprises the following steps: S1. When installing a natural gas ball valve, first determine the installation position of the valve body 1. Rotate the adjustment mechanism 4 to rotate the collection tank 5 to the appropriate position. Then adjust the support legs 2 to support the valve body 1. Then, place the monitoring collar 3 on the connection between the valve body 1 and the pipeline. S2. During the use of the valve body 1, when the semiconductor sensor in the monitoring collar 3 detects a natural gas leak at the connection between the valve body 1 and the pipeline, it controls the alarm 301 to sound an alarm; S3. When the connection between the valve body 1 and the pipeline needs to be repaired, the residual natural gas in the valve body 1 and the pipeline is first extracted using the suction pipe 7 and injected into the collection tank 5 for temporary storage; S4. After the maintenance is completed, the natural gas in the collection tank 5 is re-injected into the valve body 1 and the pipeline through the exhaust pipe 6 for use.

[0034] Working principle: When installing the valve body 1, the angles of the collection tank 5 and the support foot 2 are adjusted according to the installation position. First, the worm 405 is rotated, so that the worm 405 drives the adjusting wheel 403 connected to the worm gear 404 to rotate, so that the adjusting wheel 403 can drive the rotating frame 401 connected to the annular rack 402 to rotate, thereby driving the collection tank 5 to rotate to the appropriate position; Then, the threaded rod 203 is rotated so that the threaded rod 203 drives the adjustment rack 202 to move, so that the adjustment rack 202 drives the support foot 2 connected to the gear 201 to rotate to a suitable angle, thereby providing auxiliary support for the valve body 1; Then, the valve body 1 is connected to the pipeline. At this time, one end of the pipeline will contact and squeeze the contact rod 805, causing the contact rod 805 to drive the connected chute block 803 to move. At this time, the chute block 803 will drive the hole blocking frame 801 connected to the guide frame 802 to move upward through the chute, so that the air guide pipe 101 is open. During the use of the valve body 1, when the semiconductor sensor in the monitoring collar 3 detects that there is a natural gas leak at the connection between the valve body 1 and the pipeline, the alarm 301 is used to sound an alarm and timely repair is carried out; During maintenance, first close the valve body 1, then use the hydraulic rod B701 to drive the piston block 702 to move back and forth, and suck the natural gas remaining in the valve body 1 and the pipeline on one side into the suction pipe 7 through the connecting hose 102, and then inject it into the collection tank 5 through the gas injection pipe 703 for collection; Then, after inspecting the connection end of the valve body 1 and the pipeline, the hydraulic rod A504 is used to drive the connecting rod 503 to move, so that the other end of the connecting rod 503 drives the support rod group 502 to rotate, so that the support rod group 502 can drive the piston plate 501 to move upward. At this time, the T-shaped rod 603 is not restricted, and under the action of the tension spring 604, it will drive the sealing plug 601 connected to the T-shaped rod 603 to move upward, and then the spacing rod 602 will block the outlet of the sealing plug 601 and the exhaust pipe 6. Then, when the piston plate 501 continues to move upward, the natural gas collected in the collection tank 5 will be re-injected into the valve body 1 and the pipeline.
