Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ball valves, and particularly relates to a ball valve with a wear detection function. BACKGROUND

[0002] A ball valve is a common opening and closing valve, and the ball valve is a valve for realizing opening and closing or adjusting through rotating a ball (a valve core). When a through hole of the ball is aligned with a pipeline axis, fluid passes through; after being rotated by 90 degrees, the through hole is perpendicular to the pipeline, and fluid is cut off. Because of simple structure and good sealing performance, the ball valve is widely applied to fields such as petroleum, chemical industry and water treatment.

[0003] However, in use, the existing ball valve may cause the ball core and the inner wall of the valve body to be worn due to the following reasons. Particles in the water flow may enter between the valve core and the inner wall of the valve body when the valve core is rotated, and the valve core and the inner wall of the valve body are worn due to mutual friction, which may reduce the blocking performance of the ball over a long period of time.

[0004] In addition, when the existing ball valve is rapidly closed to block the water flow, a water hammer effect is generated, and the water hammer effect continuously impacts the valve core. Similarly, the blocking performance of the valve core is reduced due to long-term impact, which reduces the service life of the ball valve. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a ball valve with a wear detection function to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a ball valve with a wear detection function, comprising a ball valve body and a controller, the ball valve body is respectively provided with a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe at two ends, the water inlet pipe is provided with a mounting pipe, a plurality of water hammer elimination assemblies and a plurality of absorption assemblies are arranged between the mounting pipes, an adjusting assembly is arranged above the ball valve body, a blocking ball is arranged in the ball valve body, the blocking ball is in transmission connection with the adjusting assembly, and a pressurizing assembly and a detection assembly are arranged at an output end of the ball valve body.

[0007] The water hammer elimination assembly can weaken the water hammer effect generated when the ball valve is blocked.

[0008] The absorption assembly can absorb the force of the water hammer, and cooperate with the water hammer elimination assembly to weaken the water hammer.

[0009] The detection assembly can detect the wear degree of the blocking ball.

[0010] The pressurizing assembly can increase the water pressure of the water outlet end.

[0011] Further, the water hammer absorbing assembly comprises arc-shaped mounting blocks mounted inside the water inlet pipe, and a flow resistance sieve plate mounted between the arc-shaped mounting blocks and connected with the arc-shaped mounting blocks at both ends through bearings, and the absorbing assembly and two sets of limiting springs are mounted on the flow resistance sieve plate, and the other ends of the two sets of limiting springs are connected with the inner wall of the mounting pipe, and the absorbing assembly is parallel to the water hammer absorbing assembly.

[0012] Further, the absorbing assembly comprises an absorbing pipe fixedly connected with the mounting pipe, and the absorbing pipe is provided with a transmission pipe at one end thereof, and the other end of the transmission pipe is provided with a rubber capsule, and the rubber capsule is located between the flow resistance sieve plate and the mounting pipe.

[0013] Further, the adjusting assembly comprises an adjusting shaft and an adjusting handle, the adjusting shaft is connected with the ball valve body, one end of the adjusting shaft is connected with the blocking ball, the other end of the adjusting shaft is provided with the adjusting handle, a sleeve is slidingly mounted on the adjusting handle, two sets of limiting blocks are mounted at the bottom of the sleeve, limiting blocks are arranged on the ball valve body, and the two sets of limiting blocks are matched with the limiting blocks.

[0014] Further, the booster assembly comprises a booster pipe, a sliding groove is arranged on the inner wall of the booster pipe, a plurality of booster rings are mounted in the booster pipe, the diameters of the plurality of booster rings are gradually reduced, a sliding block is arranged on the outer part of each set of booster rings, a sliding groove is arranged on the inner part of each set of booster rings, adjacent booster rings are matched with each other, and a plurality of magnets are arranged on the innermost booster ring.

[0015] Further, a limiting groove is arranged on the water outlet pipe, a limiting ring is mounted in the limiting groove, the limiting ring is slidingly mounted in the limiting groove through a plurality of limiting rods, a magnetic ring is mounted in the inner ring of the limiting ring, and the magnetic ring is matched with the innermost booster ring.

[0016] Further, the magnetic ring and the magnet are both made of neodymium magnets, and the magnetic ring and the magnet are attracted to each other.

[0017] Further, the detection assembly comprises a detection plate mounted in the water outlet pipe, a plurality of flow sensors are mounted on the detection plate, and the flow sensors are connected with a controller through wires.

[0018] Further, when the blocking ball closes the ball valve body, the subsequent water flow collides with the blocking ball to generate a water hammer effect, the absorbing pipe can absorb the backflow fluid of the water hammer effect, the backflow fluid can make the rubber capsule expand, the expanded rubber capsule can lift the flow resistance sieve plate, and the flow resistance sieve plate can disturb the water flow.

[0019] Further, the controller is installed outside the ball valve body, a buzzer is arranged in the controller, and the controller is electrically connected with the detection assembly.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In the use process of the ball valve, the flow rate of water flow can be increased in the normal use stage, and the water hammer effect on the ball valve body can be reduced in the rapid closing state. In addition, the detection assembly can indirectly detect the blocking property of the ball valve body in the case of detecting the flow rate, thereby increasing the service life of the ball valve.

[0022] 2. In the use process of the absorption assembly, the energy of the water hammer effect can be absorbed and converted into energy that can be used by the absorption assembly. In combination with the water hammer elimination assembly, the water hammer effect can be weakened. Specifically, when the water flow is rapidly cut off to generate the water hammer effect, the overflowing water flow enters the absorption pipe, and then the fluid passes through the transmission pipe and is finally accumulated in the rubber capsule, so as to quickly lift the rubber capsule. Because the rubber capsule is arranged between the flow breaker plate and the inner wall of the mounting pipe, the flow breaker plate can be lifted, so that the flow breaker plate can disturb the water flow. When the ball valve is opened, the flow breaker plate extrudes the liquid in the rubber capsule under the double actions of the water flow and the limiting spring.

[0023] 3. In the use process of the pressure boosting assembly, the original lost flow rate can be made up. Specifically, when the ball valve body is in the open state, the impact force of the water flow forces a plurality of pressure boosting rings to arrange in the water flow direction in turn. Because the diameters of the plurality of pressure boosting rings are gradually reduced, the channel for the fluid is gradually reduced, thereby increasing the water pressure and making up the original lost flow rate. When the ball valve body is in the closed state, the pressure boosting rings are retracted. In the resetting process, the impurities attached to the pressure boosting rings are extruded downward. In the next valve opening, the residual impurities are discharged with the water flow, thereby avoiding the continuous accumulation of impurities such as sand particles on the pressure boosting rings.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example: Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a ball valve technical solution with wear detection function, including a ball valve body 1 and a controller 7. A water inlet pipe 11 and a water outlet pipe 12 are respectively installed at both ends of the ball valve body 1. An installation pipe 111 is installed inside the water inlet pipe 11. Multiple sets of water hammer elimination components 2 and multiple sets of absorption components 3 are arranged between the installation pipes 111. An adjustment component 4 is installed on the top of the ball valve body 1. A blocking ball is installed inside the ball valve body 1. The blocking ball is connected to the adjustment component 4. A pressure boosting component 5 and a detection component 6 are installed at the output end of the ball valve body 1.

[0034] Water hammer suppression assembly 2 can reduce the water hammer effect generated when the ball valve is blocked;

[0035] The absorption component 3 can absorb the force of water hammer, and together with the water hammer elimination component 2, it weakens the water hammer.

[0036] Detection component 6 can detect the degree of wear on the blocking ball;

[0037] The booster assembly 5 can increase the water pressure at the outlet.

[0038] Therefore, when the device is in use, first of all, the ball valve body 1 needs to be installed in the designated position respectively, and the water inlet pipe 11 needs to be connected with the water source, to ensure that the water hammer assembly 2 and the absorption assembly 3 can be used normally;

[0039] Specifically, when in use, the ball valve body 1 can rotate the blocking ball under the control of the adjusting assembly 4, and because the middle part of the blocking ball of the ball valve is provided with a flow channel, when the blocking ball is rotated, the flow channel on the blocking ball is communicated with the water inlet pipe 11 and the water outlet pipe 12, to ensure that the liquid can pass through the ball valve body 1, and at this time, because a plurality of water hammer assemblies 2 and a plurality of absorption assemblies 3 are arranged in the ball valve body 1, the flow rate will be reduced after passing through the ball valve body 1, and because the device is provided with a booster assembly 5, the flow rate lost originally can be made up through the booster assembly 5;

[0040] When the ball valve body 1 closes the ball valve by the blocking ball, the water flow is quickly cut off, and the water hammer effect is generated, and the subsequent water flow continuously impacts the blocking ball, and when the ball valve is in use, the water flow impacts the blocking ball, and the overflowing water flow enters the absorption assembly 3, and the water flow continuously accumulated in the absorption assembly 3 will make the rubber capsule 32 swell, and the swelling of the rubber capsule 32 will act on the water hammer assembly 2, to disturb the water flow through the water hammer assembly 2, so that the subsequent water hammer effect is reduced, thereby reducing the impact of the water flow on the ball valve body 1;

[0041] Because the water flow often carries some particulate matter, and when the blocking ball is rotated, some sand particles may enter between the blocking ball and the inner wall of the ball valve body 1, and the mutual friction between the two will cause the blocking ball or the inner wall of the ball valve body 1 to be worn, which will reduce the blocking property of the blocking ball over a long period of time, and the detection assembly 6 of the device can effectively detect the water flow, and the wear of the ball valve body 1 and the blocking ball is indirectly detected through the flow rate of the water flow, so that the service life of the ball valve can be greatly prolonged when the ball valve body 1 is in use.

[0042] As shown in Figures 2-5 In this embodiment, specifically, the water hammer assembly 2 includes an arc-shaped mounting block 21, the arc-shaped mounting block 21 is installed inside the water inlet pipe 11, a flow-reducing sieve plate 22 is installed between the arc-shaped mounting blocks 21, the flow-reducing sieve plate 22 is connected with the arc-shaped mounting blocks 21 through bearings at both ends, the absorption assembly 3 and two sets of limiting springs 23 are installed on the flow-reducing sieve plate 22, the other ends of the two sets of limiting springs 23 are connected with the inner wall of the installation pipe 111 respectively, and the absorption assembly 3 is parallel to the water hammer assembly 2;

[0043] The water hammer elimination assembly 2 of the device can disturb the fluid in use, so that the ball valve body 1 can disturb the water hammer effect even if the water flow is quickly cut off in use, thereby reducing the influence of the water hammer effect on the ball valve body 1. In use, the absorbing assembly 3 can absorb the water hammer effect and assist the water hammer elimination assembly 2. After being affected by the absorbing assembly 3, the water hammer elimination assembly 2 is used, and the baffle plate 22 is lifted, and then the baffle plate 22 disturbs the water flow, thereby reducing the flow rate of the water flow, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the water hammer effect. When the ball valve body 1 is opened again, the baffle plate 22 is restored to its original position under the double action of the limiting spring 23 and the water flow, and the baffle plate 22 is restored to its original position, and the absorbing assembly 3 is pressed, thereby discharging the liquid absorbed by the absorbing assembly 3 when the valve is closed, so that the device can effectively reduce the water hammer effect in use.

[0044] As shown in Figures 2-4 and Figure 6 , in this embodiment, specifically, the absorbing assembly 3 includes an absorbing pipe 31, the absorbing pipe 31 is fixedly connected with the mounting pipe 111, one end of the absorbing pipe 31 is towards the blocking ball, the other end of the absorbing pipe 31 is provided with a transmission pipe, the other end of the transmission pipe is provided with a rubber capsule 32, the rubber capsule 32 is located between the baffle plate 22 and the mounting pipe 111;

[0045] The absorbing assembly 3 of the device can absorb the energy of the water hammer effect and convert it into energy that can be used by itself, and cooperate with the water hammer elimination assembly 2 to weaken the water hammer effect. Specifically, when the water flow is quickly cut off and the water hammer effect is generated, the overflowing water flow enters the absorbing pipe 31, and then the fluid passes through the transmission pipe and finally accumulates in the rubber capsule 32, thereby quickly supporting the rubber capsule. Because the rubber capsule 32 is arranged between the baffle plate 22 and the inner wall of the mounting pipe 111, the baffle plate 22 can be lifted, so that the baffle plate 22 can disturb the water flow. When the ball valve is opened, the baffle plate 22 can squeeze the liquid in the rubber capsule 32 under the double action of the water flow and the limiting spring 23.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1-3 , in this embodiment, specifically, the adjusting assembly 4 includes an adjusting shaft 41 and an adjusting handle 42, the adjusting shaft 41 is connected with the ball valve body 1, one end of the adjusting shaft 41 is connected with the blocking ball, the other end of the adjusting shaft 41 is provided with the adjusting handle 42, the adjusting handle 42 is slidably installed with a sleeve 43, the bottom of the sleeve 43 is provided with two sets of limiting blocks 44, the ball valve body 1 is provided with a limiting block, and the two sets of limiting blocks 44 cooperate with the limiting block;

[0047] The ball valve body 1 in use, the worker can adjust the state of the blocking ball through the adjusting assembly 4, so as to change whether the ball valve is in closed state or open state, specific use, the worker can rotate the adjusting handle 42 to rotate the adjusting shaft 41, but before rotation, need to determine whether the limiting block 44 on the adjusting handle 42 is locked, in the locked state, the adjusting handle 42 cannot be rotated, so as to ensure that the phenomenon of misoperation.

[0048] As Figure 3 and Figure 7 shown, in this embodiment, specifically, the booster assembly 5 includes a booster pipe 51, the inner wall of the booster pipe 51 is provided with a sliding groove, a plurality of booster rings 52 are installed inside the booster pipe 51, the diameter of each booster ring 52 is gradually reduced, each booster ring 52 is respectively provided with a sliding block and a sliding groove inside, the adjacent booster rings 52 cooperate with each other, and a plurality of magnets are arranged on the innermost booster ring 52;

[0049] The booster assembly 5 of the device can compensate for the original flow rate in use, specifically, when the ball valve body 1 is in open state, the impact force of the water flow will force the plurality of booster rings 52 to arrange in the water flow direction in sequence, and because the diameter of the plurality of booster rings 52 is gradually reduced, the channel for the fluid will be gradually reduced, thereby increasing the water pressure and compensating for the original flow rate, and when the ball valve body 1 is in closed state, the booster rings 52 will retract, and in the process of resetting, the impurities attached to the booster rings 52 will be squeezed down, and the remaining impurities will be discharged with the water flow in the next valve opening, thereby avoiding the continuous accumulation of impurities such as sand particles on the booster rings 52.

[0050] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, specifically, a limiting groove 121 is arranged on the water outlet pipe 12, a limiting ring 122 is installed inside the limiting groove 121, the limiting ring 122 is slidably installed inside the limiting groove 121 through a plurality of limiting rods, a magnetic ring is installed in the inner ring of the limiting ring 122, and the magnetic ring cooperates with the innermost booster ring 52;

[0051] The booster assembly 5 can be adjusted by external accessories in use, specifically, the worker can adjust the position of the limiting ring 122, which can attract the position change of the innermost booster ring 52, so as to change the shape of the booster assembly 5, and the back and forth movement of the booster assembly 5 can clean the impurities on the booster rings 52, so that the surface of the booster assembly 5 is cleaner.

[0052] As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, specifically, the magnetic ring and the magnet are both made of neodymium magnet, and the magnetic ring and the magnet attract each other.

[0053] Because the magnetic ring and the magnet material of the device are both neodymium magnets, which are a kind of strong magnetic material, and because the magnetic energy product and the coercive force of the neodymium magnet are very high, greatly exceeding those of other types of magnets, it means that the same size of neodymium magnet can produce a stronger magnetic field compared with other magnets, and then the staff can control the booster ring 52 in the water outlet pipe 12 through the external limiting ring 122.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 In this embodiment, specifically, the detection assembly 6 includes a detection plate 61 installed inside the water outlet pipe 12, and a plurality of flow sensors 62 are installed on the detection plate 61, and the flow sensors 62 are connected to the controller 7 through wires;

[0055] The detection assembly 6 of the device can detect the flow rate of the water flow when in use, and through the flow rate of the water flow, the wear of the ball valve body 1 and the blocking ball can be indirectly detected. Because the water flow often carries some particulate matter, and when the blocking ball rotates, some sand particles may enter between the blocking ball and the inner wall of the ball valve body 1, and the mutual friction between the two will cause the blocking ball or the inner wall of the ball valve body 1 to wear, which will eventually cause the blocking property of the blocking ball to decrease. When the detection assembly 6 closes the valve, the staff can detect the state of the ball valve body 1 through the controller 7, set the detection time, and when the flow sensor 62 detects that the fluid passes through during the detection interval, it indicates that there is still residual liquid passing through, and then the signal is transmitted to the controller 7, so that the staff can understand the situation inside the ball valve body 1.

[0056] As shown in Figure 1 In this embodiment, specifically, when the blocking ball closes the ball valve body 1: the subsequent water flow collides with the blocking ball to produce a water hammer effect, the absorption pipe 31 can absorb the backflow of the water hammer effect, and the backflow of the fluid can cause the rubber capsule 32 to expand, and the expanded rubber capsule 32 can lift the flow screen plate 22, and the flow screen plate 22 can disturb the water flow.

[0057] When the water flow is quickly cut off to produce a water hammer effect, part of the overflowing water flow will enter the absorption pipe 31, and after passing through the absorption pipe 31, the fluid will pass through the transmission pipe and finally accumulate in the rubber capsule 32, thereby quickly supporting the rubber capsule. Because the rubber capsule 32 is arranged between the flow screen plate 22 and the inner wall of the mounting pipe 111, it can lift the flow screen plate 22, so that the flow screen plate 22 can disturb the water flow. When the ball valve is opened, the flow screen plate 22 will squeeze out the liquid in the rubber capsule 32 under the double action of the water flow and the limiting spring 23.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, specifically, the controller 7 is installed outside the ball valve body 1, the buzzer 71 is arranged in the controller 7, and the controller 7 is electrically connected with the detection assembly 6.

[0059] When the controller 7 detects that there is flow when the valve is closed, the controller controls the buzzer 71 to make the buzzer 71 sound, thereby reminding the staff to maintain the valve.

[0060] Working principle: Therefore, when the device is used, first of all, the ball valve body 1 needs to be installed in the designated position, and the water inlet pipe 11 needs to be connected with the water source to ensure that the water hammer assembly 2 and the absorption assembly 3 can be used normally.

[0061] Specifically, when used, the ball valve body 1 can rotate the blocking ball under the control of the adjusting assembly 4, and because the middle of the blocking ball of the ball valve is provided with a flow channel, when the blocking ball is rotated, the flow channel on the blocking ball is communicated with the water inlet pipe 11 and the water outlet pipe 12, so as to ensure that the liquid can pass through the ball valve body 1. At this time, because the ball valve body 1 is provided with a plurality of water hammer assemblies 2 and a plurality of absorption assemblies 3, the flow rate will be reduced after passing through the ball valve body 1, and because the device is provided with a booster assembly 5, the flow rate lost originally can be made up through the booster assembly 5.

[0062] When the ball valve body 1 closes the ball valve through the blocking ball, the water flow is quickly cut off, and the water hammer effect is generated. The subsequent water flow continuously impacts the blocking ball. When the ball valve is used, the water flow impacts the blocking ball, and the overflowing water flow enters the absorption assembly 3. The water flow in the absorption assembly 3 continuously accumulates, which causes the rubber capsule 32 to expand. The expansion of the rubber capsule 32 acts on the water hammer assembly 2, which disturbs the water flow, thereby reducing the subsequent water hammer effect, thereby reducing the impact of the water flow on the ball valve body 1.

[0063] Because the water flow often carries some particulate matter, and when the blocking ball is rotated, some sand particles may enter between the blocking ball and the inner wall of the ball valve body 1, and the mutual friction between the two will cause the blocking ball or the inner wall of the ball valve body 1 to be worn, which will reduce the blocking property of the blocking ball over a long period of time. The detection assembly 6 of the device can effectively detect the water flow, and the wear of the ball valve body 1 and the blocking ball is indirectly detected through the flow rate of the water flow. Therefore, when the ball valve body 1 is used, the service life of the ball valve can be greatly prolonged.

[0064] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the application is not limited to the details of the above-exemplified embodiments and that the present application can be implemented in other particular forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. The embodiments should therefore be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the application being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the above description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein. No reference signs in the claims should be considered as limiting the scope of the claims with respect to the figures of the patent document.
