However, traditional triple-offset ball valve designs suffer from numerous shortcomings, including difficult maintenance, complex replacement, poor sealing performance, and inflexible docking mechanisms. These issues not only affect ball valve efficiency but also increase system maintenance costs and safety risks.
[0003] First, traditional triple-eccentric ball valves often require disassembly of numerous components for maintenance or replacement, making the operation cumbersome and time-consuming. This not only increases labor intensity but can also lead to component damage or reduced sealing performance due to improper operation. Therefore, designing a liquid hydrogen ball valve that is easy to maintain and replace has become a pressing issue for the industry.
[0004] Secondly, the traditional triple-eccentric ball valve needs regular maintenance during actual use. During the maintenance process, the ball valve needs to be disassembled in most cases, which often interrupts the delivery of liquid hydrogen. Therefore, during factory production activities, interrupting the delivery of liquid hydrogen will inevitably affect the normal production efficiency of the factory.

[0024] Two butt joints, each passing through the corresponding support hole and slidably connected to the inner wall of the support hole. The two butt joints are movable. When the valve body is moved between the two butt joints, the two butt joints can be tightly docked with both sides of the valve body through the two butt joints that are close to each other. The butt joints are used to connect to the external delivery pipeline of liquid hydrogen;

At the same time, when the latch and the positioning tube are plugged and matched, the latch can rotate freely. Therefore, when the valve handle mechanism is operated to drive the clamping column to rotate, the valve disc can be driven to rotate, so that the ball valve can be opened or closed. At the same time, the clamping column and the latch can be telescopically moved. Therefore, when the valve disc needs to be disassembled, it can be disassembled by moving the clamping column and the latch.
[0036] In the present invention, the valve handle mechanism is provided, which can be clamped by using a rectangular clamping groove and a clamping column with a rectangular top end.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0051] The embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0052] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms, "connection", and "installation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. In addition, "communication" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Here, "fixed" means that the two are connected to each other and the relative position relationship after connection remains unchanged. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention, such as "inside", "outside", "top", "bottom", etc., are only reference to the directions of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.
[0053] In the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.
[0054] In the embodiments of the present invention, "and / or" is simply a description of the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0055] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present invention. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and "in yet other embodiments" appearing in various places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "including," "comprising," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.
[0056] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-10 A ball valve comprises a base plate 1, with a support rail 2 fixedly mounted on top. Two slides 3 are symmetrically slidably connected to the support rail 2. A common valve body 4 is fixedly mounted on these two slides 3. This design allows one valve body 4 to be used while undergoing maintenance, ensuring continuous system operation.
[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each valve body 4 is fixedly mounted with a valve seat 5. This valve seat 5 is annular in structure, with an arc-shaped inner wall. A valve flap 79 is mounted on the inner wall of the valve body 4 via a positioning mechanism. This positioning mechanism facilitates the removal of the valve flap 79 for easy maintenance. The valve flap 79 has an arc-shaped spherical surface, with one side extending into the valve seat 5, maintaining a tight fit with the inner wall of the valve seat 5, thereby ensuring the valve's tightness.
[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, a valve handle mechanism is located at the top of the valve body 4 to control the rotation of the valve disc 79. The bottom of the valve handle mechanism extends into the valve body 4 and engages with the positioning mechanism. By operating the valve handle mechanism, the valve disc 79 can be driven to rotate, thereby opening or closing the ball valve.
[0059] A docking mechanism for connecting to external pipelines is also mounted on the base plate 1. The two valve bodies 4 can be adjusted laterally to dock with the two docking mechanisms. This allows one valve body 4 to be connected to the docking mechanism while undergoing maintenance, ensuring that the delivery of liquid hydrogen is not affected.
[0060] Next, the specific structure of the positioning mechanism is described in detail. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning tube 6 fixedly mounted on the bottom inner wall of the valve body 4, and a mounting tube 7. The top and bottom ends of the mounting tube 7 are fixedly mounted with limiting tubes 71, and the ends of the two limiting tubes 71 that are away from each other are fixedly mounted with connecting arms 78, and one side of the connecting arm 78 is fixedly connected to the valve flap 79. The connecting arm 78 located at the bottom is mounted on the positioning tube 6. In the two limiting tubes 71, a latch 75 and a clamping column 76 are respectively slidably connected. The latch 75 is inserted into the positioning tube 6 and rotates with the positioning tube 6. The top of the clamping column 76 is a rectangular structure, which can be clamped and matched with the valve handle mechanism. Two movable holes 72 are symmetrically opened on the inner walls on both sides of the mounting tube 7. The mounting tube 7 is also equipped with an elastic support component, which passes through the four movable holes 72 respectively and is connected to the ends of the clamping column 76 and the latch 75 that are close to each other. In this way, by inserting the latch 75 into the positioning tube 6 and simultaneously engaging the clamping column 76 with the valve handle mechanism, the valve disc 79 can be positioned and installed. Furthermore, when the latch 75 is engaged with the positioning tube 6, the latch 75 can rotate freely. Therefore, when the valve handle mechanism is operated to drive the clamping column 76 to rotate, the valve disc 79 can also rotate, thereby opening or closing the ball valve. Furthermore, the clamping column 76 and latch 75 can telescopically move, so if the valve disc 79 needs to be removed, it can be achieved by moving the clamping column 76 and latch 75.
[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, the elastic support assembly includes two push rings 74, both of which are sleeved on the mounting tube 7. A limit plate 73 is fixedly installed in the push ring 74, which passes through the corresponding two movable holes 72. The ends of the latch 75 and the clamping column 76 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the two limit plates 73 respectively. A mounting ring 710 is fixedly sleeved on the center position of the mounting tube 7. A first compression spring 77 is welded on both sides of the mounting ring 710, and one end of the first compression spring 77 is welded to one side of the corresponding push ring 74. By pushing the two push rings 74, the latch 75 and the clamping column 76 can be driven to retract and move into the corresponding limit tube 71, so that the clamping column 76 can be disengaged from the valve handle mechanism and the latch 75 can be moved out of the positioning tube 6, thereby realizing the disassembly of the mounting tube 7. In addition, the two first compression springs 77 can elastically support the two push rings 74, so that they can elastically support the pin 75 and the clamping column 76 respectively without being affected by external forces, so that the pin 75 can be stably inserted into the positioning tube 6, and the clamping column 76 can be stably clamped with the valve handle mechanism.
[0062] like Figure 6As shown, the valve handle mechanism includes a valve stem 8 extending through the top inner wall of the valve body 4. The valve stem 8 is rotatably and hermetically connected to the top inner wall of the valve body 4 via a sealing ring. A connecting post 81 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the valve stem 8. The bottom end of the connecting post 81 defines a rectangular slot 82 that mates with the rectangular structure at the top of the retaining post 76. The top of the retaining post 76 is inserted into the rectangular slot 82 and securely engages with the inner wall of the slot 82. A valve handle 83, located above the valve body 4, is also bolted onto the valve stem 8. Twisting the valve handle 83 rotates the valve stem 8, thereby driving the mounting tube 7 to rotate, further driving the valve disc 79 to rotate, thereby opening or closing the ball valve. The use of the rectangular slot 82 and the retaining post 76 with a rectangular top ensures that the retaining post 76 rotates stably and without slipping when the valve stem 8 rotates. Furthermore, the clamping column 76 and the rectangular clamping slot 82 are connected in a plug-in and clamping manner, so that the valve flap 79 can be easily disassembled and repaired.
[0063] like Figure 6 As shown, the valve handle 83 is provided with a sliding hole, through which a pull plate 84 is slidably connected. A clamping plate 85 is welded to the bottom of one side of the pull plate 84. The side of the clamping plate 85 facing away from the pull plate 84 is a curved arc structure. A clamping ring 86 is also welded to the top of the valve body 4. The axis of the valve stem 8 and the axis of the clamping ring 86 coincide. Two slots symmetrically arranged at an angle of 180° are defined on the outer side of the clamping ring 86. The clamping plate 85 can be flexibly engaged with the two slots by moving in an arc shape 180° around the valve stem 8, thereby positioning the valve handle 83. Rotating the valve handle 83 drives the valve stem 8, thereby driving the valve disc 79 to move. When the valve disc 79 needs to be positioned, the clamping plate 85 can be moved to a position corresponding to the slot. The clamping plate 85 is then pushed into the slot by the pull plate 84, thereby braking the valve handle 83 and further stably limiting the position of the valve disc 79.
[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, a limit rod 87 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the sliding hole. Limit rod 87 extends through and is slidably connected to pull plate 84. A second compression spring 88 is sleeved on limit rod 87 and positioned on one side of pull plate 84. The two ends of second compression spring 88 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole and the top of one side of pull plate 84. Limit rod 87 provides lateral sliding support for pull plate 84, and the elastic force of second compression spring 88 elastically limits the pull plate 84. This ensures a stable engagement when retaining plate 85 is engaged with the slot, thereby stably limiting the position of valve handle 83.
[0065] like Figure 1As shown, the docking mechanism includes a mounting frame 9 mounted on the base plate 1. Support holes are defined on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting frame 9. Two docking tubes 91 extend through the corresponding support holes and are slidably connected to the inner walls of the support holes. These two docking tubes 91 are movable so that when the valve body 4 is moved between the two docking tubes 91, the two adjacent docking tubes 91 tightly dock with the two sides of the valve body 4. The docking tubes 91 are used to connect to external liquid hydrogen delivery pipelines.
[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, two transmission assemblies extend through and connect to the inner walls of the mounting frame 9. The transmission assemblies connect to corresponding docking tubes 91 to drive the docking tubes 91 for movement and positioning. After the valve body 4 is moved between the two docking tubes 91, the two transmission assemblies can be driven to move the corresponding docking tubes 91, thereby ensuring stable docking between the docking tubes 91 and the valve body 4.
[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a gear ring 103 rotatably connected to one side of the mounting frame 9. Multiple threaded tubes 101 are symmetrically and rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the mounting frame 9. Drive screws 10 are threadedly connected through the threaded tubes 101, one end of which is welded to the corresponding docking tube 91. Gears 102 are fixedly mounted on the threaded tubes 101 via a keyed connection, and multiple gears 102 mesh with the gear ring 103. A mounting arm 105 is provided at the bottom of the gear ring 103, and a plunger 106 is slidably connected to the mounting arm 105. Positioning slots are provided on the bottom of each side of the mounting frame 9. One end of the plunger 106 is inserted into the positioning slot, allowing the plunger 106 to engage with the positioning slot to brake the gear ring 103. Multiple stop wheels 104 are also symmetrically and rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting frame 9. Multiple stop wheels 104 located on the same side are used to support and limit the gear ring 103. A tension spring 107 is also mounted on the insertion rod 106, with its ends welded to one side of the mounting arm 105 and the other end of the insertion rod 106, respectively. By rotating the gear ring 103, the multiple threaded tubes 101 can be driven to rotate under the meshing transmission action of the multiple gears 102. As the threaded tubes 101 rotate, they can be driven by the threaded transmission action of the drive screw 10 to drive the docking tube 91 toward one side of the valve body 4 until the docking tube 91 and the valve body 4 are tightly fitted. At this point, the insertion rod 106 can move to a position corresponding to the positioning slot. Then, by releasing the insertion rod 106, the tension spring 107, which is in a stressed state, can drive the insertion rod 106 into the positioning slot, positioning the gear ring 103.
[0068] The present application can be used in the field of valve technology, and can also be used in other fields applicable to the present application.
[0069] Example 2: Reference Figure 9-10 Based on the first embodiment, a liquid hydrogen triple-eccentric replaceable ball valve is described, which is applied to the field of valve technology. In the design of this liquid hydrogen triple-eccentric replaceable ball valve, butt joint 91 is a key component, responsible for connecting the valve body 4 to other pipelines. To ensure the sealing and stability of the connection, a special structural design is implemented inside butt joint 91.
[0070] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, first, a support ring 93 is welded inside the butt joint 91. This support ring 93 not only provides support but also provides a connection point for the subsequent pressing assembly. The pressing assembly design includes multiple support rods 94 and a movable ring 92. These support rods 94 penetrate the support ring 93 and form a sliding connection with it. These support rods 94 are evenly spaced on the support ring 93 to ensure uniform pressing.
[0071] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, one end of the support rod 94 is welded to one side of the movable ring 92, so that the movable ring 92 can move with the movement of the support rod 94. At the same time, the movable ring 92 forms a sliding connection with the inner wall of the docking tube 91, so that the movable ring 92 can slide freely inside the docking tube 91.
[0072] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a third compression spring 96 is also sleeved on the support rod 94. The two ends of these third compression springs 96 are fixedly connected to one side of the movable ring 92 and one side of the support ring 93, respectively. Thus, when the docking ring 95 is in contact with the inner wall of the sealing ring 41, the third compression springs 96 are subjected to pressure and are in a stressed state. The stressed third compression springs 96 use their elastic force to apply a thrust to the movable ring 92. This thrust further pushes the docking ring 95 into a tight fit with the sealing ring 41, thereby ensuring a tight connection.
[0073] We have welded sealing rings 41 at the openings on both sides of the valve body 4. When the docking tube 91 approaches the valve body 4, the docking ring 95 will first contact the sealing ring 41, and as the docking tube 91 moves further, the docking ring 95 will be pushed into the sealing ring 41. During this process, the third compression spring 96 will gradually be compressed and store energy. When the docking tube 91 is in close contact with the valve body 4, the docking ring 95 has completely moved into the sealing ring 41 and is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the sealing ring 41. At this time, the third compression spring 96 is in a state of maximum stress, and its elastic force will continue to push the docking ring 95 to maintain a tight fit with the sealing ring 41, thereby ensuring the stability and sealing of the connection.
