Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline water supply equipment technology, and more particularly to a ball valve water distributor device. Background Technology

[0002] In fluid transport systems, manifolds are key devices for fluid diversion and distribution, widely used in underfloor heating, tap water supply, and temperature control. With rising living standards and industrial development, higher demands are being placed on manifolds in terms of performance, lifespan, and ease of operation.

[0003] However, existing water distributors have defects that limit their application scenarios: existing water distributors are difficult to control when venting and controlling flow rate, making them inconvenient to operate; at the same time, existing water distributors are made of copper using a casting process, which firstly results in high copper material costs, and secondly, depending on the application scenario, they are prone to rusting, bending, and clogging. Due to the material properties of copper products, the crystal structure is face-centered cubic, with many slip systems and low slip resistance. When subjected to force, the atoms are prone to slip deformation, making it difficult to resist plastic deformation caused by bending, resulting in insufficient bending resistance.

[0004] In conclusion, there is an urgent need for a ball valve manifold device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The ball valve water distributor device disclosed in this invention, by setting the second reinforcing rib to be a hollow space, allows the hollow space to sink relative to the main flow channel, avoiding the generation of eddies at the top of the water distributor pipe by the flow of the main flow channel, thereby increasing the flow velocity; the main body is equipped with a first connector and a second connector at both ends, and the main body is connected to the outside through the first connector and the second connector, so that the installation direction of the water distributor main body can be controlled to meet the usage requirements of different environments.

[0024] 2. The ball valve water distributor device disclosed in this invention has a first mounting port on the top of the main pipe body, and an air vent valve is installed on the top of the main pipe body. The air vent valve includes a mounting shell, which is connected to the main pipe body through the first mounting port. A first thread is movably installed inside the mounting shell, and an air vent hole is installed on the first thread.

[0026] 4. The ball valve manifold device presented in this invention is manufactured using a one-piece high-pressure molding process with the main manifold and branch pipes made of 304 stainless steel. All metal parts are made of stainless steel, which, compared to copper manifold devices, improves the bending resistance of the pipes, reduces rust, extends service life, and reduces cost. Furthermore, because stainless steel has a lower density than copper, this device is lightweight compared to existing manifold devices, meeting the needs of various applications. Reinforcing ribs are fixedly installed on its outer wall, ensuring high pressure resistance while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance. This also further enhances the strength of the branch pipes in the manifold and collector pipes, preventing bending and blockage. The application of the one-piece high-pressure molding process also ensures high product quality and prevents bending when producing more than 5 pipes.

[0027] 5. The ball valve water distributor device shown in this invention, by setting a fifth sealing ring and a sixth sealing ring between the connecting block and the stop sleeve, not only achieves sealing but also increases the friction between the connecting block and the stop sleeve, ensuring synchronous rotation of the connecting block and the stop sleeve.

[0050] like Figure 11 As shown, a stop sleeve 24 is movably connected to one end of the valve body 22 near the first groove 261, and a first protrusion 241 is provided at the bottom of the stop sleeve 24; a plug 5 is connected to one side of the ball valve 26 near the first groove 261, and the plug 5 is inserted into the first groove 261; the plug 5 includes a second protrusion 55, which cooperates with the first groove 261; a connecting block 54 is connected to one end of the second protrusion 55 away from the ball valve 26, and the connecting block 54 is installed inside the stop sleeve 24; a screw 52 is inserted into the connecting block 54, and the screw 52 is connected to the connecting block 54 through a second thread 51.

[0051] like Figure 11 As shown, a fifth sealing ring 56 and a sixth sealing ring 57 are installed between the connecting block 54 and the stop sleeve 24. While achieving sealing, the friction between the connecting block 54 and the stop sleeve 24 is increased, ensuring the synchronous rotation of the connecting block 54 and the stop sleeve 24.

The connecting seat 311 is also provided with a second groove 32, a first circular groove 33, a mounting groove 34 and a third groove 36. The connecting seat 311 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 54 through the second groove 32, the first circular groove 33, the mounting groove 34 and the third groove 36.

[0054] Furthermore, the main water distributor 1 and the water distribution pipe 2 are manufactured using a one-piece high-pressure molding process with 304 stainless steel. All metal parts are made of stainless steel, which, compared to copper water distributor devices, improves the bending resistance of the pipe body, makes it less prone to rust, extends its service life, and reduces costs. In addition, because stainless steel has a lower density than copper, this device features a lightweight design compared to existing water distributor devices, meeting the needs of different usage scenarios. A first reinforcing rib 12 and a second reinforcing rib 13 are fixedly installed on its outer wall, ensuring high pressure resistance while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance. This also further enhances the strength of the pipe bodies in the water distributor branches and the water collector branches, preventing bending and blockage. The application of the one-piece high-pressure molding process also ensures high product quality and prevents bending when producing pipe bodies with 5 or more channels.

[0055] Furthermore, the valve seat 25 is made of modified polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite material.
