Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ball valves, in particular to a ball valve with high sealing performance. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ball valve is a kind of rotary valve, which is mainly composed of a valve body, a valve rod and a ball. Since the opening and closing part of the ball valve is a ball, its main function is to align or dislocate the through hole on the ball with the pipeline by rotating the ball by 90 degrees, so as to realize the quick cut-off or connection of the ball. Therefore, the conventional design of the ball valve must be fully opened or closed, and cannot be used as a throttling valve (if the ball valve is in a half-open state, the high-speed fluid will directly flush the sealing surface, causing the sealing material to accelerate wear or failure, affecting the service life of the ball valve).

[0003] In the actual use process of the existing ball valve, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the ball valve, the ball and the sealing element are in hard and close contact, so that there is a large friction force between the ball and the sealing element, which not only makes it difficult to rotate the ball to open and close, but also affects the sealing performance and service life of the sealing element due to the friction between the ball and the sealing element during long-term use. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a ball valve with high sealing performance to solve the problems raised in the background.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a ball valve with high sealing performance, comprising a valve body, a high platform and a valve rod, the upper end of the valve body is fixed with a high platform, the high platform is connected with a valve rod through a bearing, the lower end of the valve rod is installed with a self-locking mechanism, the self-locking mechanism is fixed with a ball, the upper and lower ends of the ball are fixed with rotating shafts connected with the valve body through bearings, the left and right sides of the ball are symmetrically provided with sealing mechanisms, the sealing mechanisms are nested in the valve body, the sealing mechanisms are connected with fastening mechanisms, the fastening mechanisms comprise connecting rods fixed on the mounting ring symmetrically, the connecting rods are connected with bosses through sliding connection, the bosses are fixed on the circular plate at equal angles, and four bosses are arranged on the circular plate, and the circular plate is fixed on the rotating shafts of the ball symmetrically.

[0006] Preferably, the valve body is fixed with mounting flanges symmetrically through bolts, the mounting flanges are fixed with compression rings, the compression rings are connected with the valve body through nesting, and the compression rings are in contact with the fixing rings to realize positioning. Through the action of the compression ring, the fixing ring can be pressed and limited, and the stability of the device assembly can be ensured.

[0007] Preferably, a sealing ring is arranged between the mounting flange and the valve body, and the sealing ring is connected with the valve body through nesting. Through the action of the sealing ring, the sealing effect between the mounting flange and the valve body can be effectively ensured, and fluid leakage can be avoided.

[0008] Preferably, the self-locking mechanism includes a truncated cone fixed on the rotating shaft on the upper side of the sphere, and the truncated cone and the valve stem are connected by a bearing, and a strip groove is provided on the truncated cone, and a rocker rod is provided in the strip groove. The rocker rod is fixed on the valve stem symmetrically on the left and right, and the rocker rod is driven to rotate by the rotation of the valve stem. When the end of the rocker rod contacts the side wall of the strip groove to generate a force, it can provide a basic force for the rotation of the truncated cone and the sphere, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0009] Preferably, a convex shaft is fixed to the upper end face of the rocker arm, and the convex shaft and the inclined arc plate are slidably connected, and the inclined arc plate is symmetrically fixed to the lower end face of the movable tooth plate front and back, and at the same time, the maximum distance between the inclined surfaces of the two inclined arc plates is greater than the width of the strip groove. The convex shaft is driven to rotate by the rotation of the rocker arm, and the sliding action between the convex shaft and the inclined arc plate can provide a basic force for the movement of the movable tooth plate, thereby providing a basic guarantee for releasing the lock of the ball, and thus ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0010] Preferably, a sliding rod is fixed symmetrically in front and behind the lower end face of the movable tooth plate, and the sliding rod and the round table are slidably connected, and the lower end of the sliding rod and one end of the first spring are fixed to each other, and the other end of the first spring is fixed in the round table. When the movable tooth plate is forced to move, the sliding guiding action between the sliding rod and the round table can ensure that the movable tooth plate performs stable linear motion. Combined with the elastic action of the first spring, it can provide a basic force for the automatic reset of the movable tooth plate, thereby providing a basic guarantee for the locking of the sphere.

[0011] Preferably, the movable latch plate and the fixed latch plate are in a snap-fit ​​connection, and the fixed latch plate is fixed in the high platform. The ball can be locked by the snap-fit ​​action between the movable latch plate and the fixed latch plate, thereby ensuring the stability of the ball after adjustment.

[0012] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a fixing ring nested with the valve body, and the fixing ring is symmetrically distributed about the center line of the valve body, and an installation ring is provided on the side of the fixing ring close to the sphere. Through the above structure, the installation and positioning of the sealing mechanism can be facilitated.

[0013] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixed on the side of the mounting ring close to the sphere, and the sealing ring contacts the sphere to achieve sealing, and the sealing ring contacts the inner wall of the valve body to achieve sealing. At the same time, the sealing ring is made of rubber material. Through the action of the sealing ring, the sealing of the device can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0014] Preferably, a guide rod is fixed at an equal angle on one side of the mounting ring close to the fixing ring, and the guide rod and the fixing ring are slidingly connected, and a second spring is also fixed between the guide rod and the fixing ring. The second spring provides force to the guide rod, the mounting ring and the sealing ring, thereby ensuring the sealing effect between the sealing ring and the sphere.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This high-sealing ball valve can adjust the tightness of the fit between the sealing mechanism and the ball through the action of the fastening mechanism. When the ball rotates, the tightness between the sealing mechanism and the ball is reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the sealing mechanism and the ball. This can not only facilitate the rotation of the ball, but also reduce the wear on the sealing mechanism caused by the rotation of the ball, effectively extending the service life of the sealing mechanism. After the ball rotates, the tightness between the sealing mechanism and the ball can be further increased, effectively ensuring the sealing effect between the sealing mechanism and the ball.

[0017] 2. This highly sealed ball valve adopts an elastic rotary self-locking mechanism, which can not only automatically unlock the ball when the ball is rotated, facilitating the normal rotation of the ball, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the ball valve, but also realize the self-locking effect of the ball after the rotation is completed, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the ball after adjustment.

[0018] 3. When the valve stem rotates, the initial rotation of the valve stem will not immediately drive the ball to rotate. The rocker arm must exert force on the side wall of the strip groove to control the opening and closing of the valve. This can effectively avoid accidental contact with the valve stem, which may cause the ball to rotate and the valve to be opened or closed by accident. This better ensures the safety of the valve. In the initial idling stage of the valve stem, slight friction can be effectively avoided, thereby effectively reducing the ineffective wear caused by accidental contact and better ensuring the service life of the device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a high-sealing ball valve, including a valve body 1, a high platform 3 and a valve stem 4, the upper end of the valve body 1 is fixed with a high platform 3, the high platform 3 is connected to the valve stem 4 with a bearing, the lower end of the valve stem 4 is installed with a self-locking mechanism 5, the self-locking mechanism 5 and the ball 6 are fixed to each other, the upper and lower parts of the ball 6 are fixed with bearings connected to the rotating shaft in the valve body 1, and the sides of the ball 6 are symmetrically provided with sealing mechanisms 7.

[0029] The valve body 1 is symmetrically fixed with a mounting flange 2 by bolts, and a pressure ring 201 is fixed on the mounting flange 2, and the pressure ring 201 and the valve body 1 are nested, and the pressure ring 201 is in contact with the fixing ring 701 to achieve positioning; a sealing ring 202 is also provided between the mounting flange 2 and the valve body 1, and the sealing ring 202 and the valve body 1 are nested; the self-locking mechanism 5 includes a frustum 501 fixed on the upper rotating shaft of the sphere 6, and the frustum 501 is connected to the valve stem 4 by a bearing, and a strip groove 502 is provided on the frustum 501, and a rocker rod 503 is provided in the strip groove 502, and the rocker rod 503 is fixed to the valve stem 4 symmetrically; the upper end face of the rocker rod 503 is fixed with The convex shaft 504 is connected to the inclined arc plate 505 in a sliding manner, and the inclined arc plate 505 is symmetrically fixed to the lower end surface of the movable tooth plate 506 in the front and back directions, and the maximum distance between the inclined surfaces of the two inclined arc plates 505 is greater than the width of the strip groove 502; the lower end surface of the movable tooth plate 506 is symmetrically fixed with a sliding rod 507 in the front and back directions, and the sliding rod 507 is connected to the round table 501 in a sliding manner, and the lower end of the sliding rod 507 is fixed to one end of the first spring 508, and the other end of the first spring 508 is fixed to the round table 501; the movable tooth plate 506 is connected to the fixed tooth plate 509 in a snap-fitting manner, and the fixed tooth plate 509 is fixed in the high platform 3;

[0030] When using this high sealing ball valve, if Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, first, the entire ball valve can be installed on the fluid delivery pipeline by fitting the bolts through the mounting flange 2. At this time, the through hole on the ball 6 is in a fitted and aligned state with the pipeline. When the ball 6 is rotated to close, it is only necessary to rotate the valve stem 4. Since the valve stem 4 and the round table 501 are connected by a bearing, and the movable latch plate 506 and the fixed latch plate 509 are engaged and limited, the valve stem 4 will not drive the round table 501 to rotate when it rotates. At this time, when the valve stem 4 rotates, it will synchronously drive the rocker arm 503 and the convex shaft 504 to rotate, and the convex shaft 504 and the inclined arc are connected. The sliding action between the upper inclined surfaces of the shaped plate 505 causes the movable latch plate 506 to be forced to move upward, and the sliding action between the slide rod 507 and the round table 501 can ensure the stability of the movement of the movable latch plate 506. At this time, the first spring 508 is forced to contract. When the convex teeth on the lower end surface of the movable latch plate 506 are completely separated from the convex teeth on the upper end surface of the fixed latch plate 509, the locking effect of the round table 501 and the ball 6 can be released. At this time, the valve stem 4 continues to rotate, thereby continuing to drive the rocker arm 503 and the convex shaft 504 to rotate. When the rocker arm 503 contacts the side wall of the strip groove 502, At this time, the convex shaft 504 is still on the inclined surface of the inclined arc plate 505. At this time, the valve stem 4 is continued to rotate, so that the rocker rod 503 generates a force on the side wall of the strip groove 502, thereby driving the round table 501 and the ball 6 to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment effect of the ball 6, and when the round table 501 and the ball 6 rotate, the convex shaft 504 and the inclined arc plate 505 rotate synchronously with the round table 501 and the ball 6, so that the relative positions of the convex shaft 504 and the inclined arc plate 505 remain unchanged until the ball 6 rotates 90 degrees to complete the closing of the ball valve. At this time, the valve stem 4 is released, and the ball 6 is opened. Under the elastic action of a spring 508, the movable latch plate 506 is forced to move downward and automatically reset to engage with the fixed latch plate 509, thereby realizing the locking effect of the round table 501 and the ball 6, ensuring the stability of the ball 6 after adjustment. When the movable latch plate 506 is forced to move downward, it simultaneously drives the inclined curved plate 505 to move downward. Cooperating with the sliding action between the inclined curved plate 505 and the convex shaft 504, the valve stem 4 is forced to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the round table 501 until the convex shaft 504 is reset to the middle position between the two inclined curved plates 505, so that the next adjustment can be carried out normally.

[0031] The sealing mechanism 7 is nested and installed in the valve body 1. The sealing mechanism 7 is connected to the fastening mechanism 8. The fastening mechanism 8 includes a connecting rod 801 fixed on the mounting ring 702 symmetrically up and down. The connecting rod 801 and the boss 802 are in sliding connection. The boss 802 is fixed on the circular plate 803 at equal angles, and there are four bosses 802 on the circular plate 803. The circular plate 803 is fixed on the rotating axis of the sphere 6 symmetrically up and down. The sealing mechanism 7 includes a fixing ring 701 nested and installed with the valve body 1, and the fixing ring 701 is symmetrically distributed about the center line of the valve body 1. A mounting ring 702 is provided on the side of the fixing ring 701 close to the ball 6; a sealing ring 703 is fixed on the side of the fixing ring 702 close to the ball 6, and the sealing ring 703 contacts the ball 6 to achieve a seal, and the sealing ring 703 contacts the inner wall of the valve body 1 to achieve a seal, and the sealing ring 703 is made of rubber material; a guide rod 704 is fixed at an equal angle on the side of the fixing ring 701 of the fixing ring 702, and the guide rod 704 and the fixing ring 701 are in sliding connection, and a second spring 705 is also fixed between the guide rod 704 and the fixing ring 701;

[0032] During the rotation adjustment of the ball 6, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, when the ball 6 rotates, the circular plate 803 and the boss 802 are synchronously driven to rotate. When the boss 802 is separated from the connecting rod 801, the fastening effect on the sealing ring 703 is released, and the sealing force between the sealing ring 703 and the ball 6 is mainly provided by the elastic force of the second spring 705, so that the seal between the sealing ring 703 and the ball 6 is converted from a hard seal to an elastic seal, effectively reducing the friction between the sealing ring 703 and the ball 6, which can facilitate the rotation adjustment of the ball 6 and reduce the wear of the sealing ring 703 caused by the rotation of the ball 6. During the rotation of the ball 6, the circular plate 803 and the boss 802, when the connecting rod 801 contacts and slides with the next boss 802, the connection The rod 801 moves under the force, and the action of the connecting rod 801 can generate a certain pulling force on the mounting ring 702, so that the mounting ring 702 generates pressure on the sealing ring 703. Since the sealing ring 703 is made of rubber, the elastic action of the sealing ring 703 itself increases the fit tightness between the sealing ring 703 and the ball 6 until the ball 6, the circular plate 803 and the boss 802 rotate 90°. At this time, the connecting rod 801 contacts the highest point of the arc surface of the boss 802. At this time, the fit tightness between the sealing ring 703 and the ball 6 is the greatest, and at this time, the seal between the sealing ring 703 and the ball 6 is changed from an elastic seal to a hard seal, which effectively ensures the sealing effect between the sealing ring 703 and the ball 6. This is the working principle of the high-sealing ball valve.
