[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specification of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The utility model provides an embodiment: a side-mounted double-seal floating ball valve, including a valve cover 1 and a valve body 4, the valve cover 1 and the valve body 4 are fixedly connected by bolts 2, a ball 3 is arranged in the middle of the adjacent sides of the valve cover 1 and the valve body 4, a valve stem 11 is installed on the top of the ball 3, springs 5 ​​are arranged on the adjacent sides of the valve cover 1 and the valve body 4, top blocks 6 are arranged on the adjacent sides of the springs 5 ​​on both sides, second sealing rings 7 are fixedly connected in the middle of the top blocks 6 on both sides, and first sealing rings 8 are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the top blocks 6 on both sides. The top block 6 can be pushed out by the spring 5, and then the top block 6 can be used to push the first sealing ring 8 to move, so that the first sealing ring 8 is pressed against the outside of the ball 3, thereby achieving a sealing effect. The spring 5, the top block 6 and the first sealing ring 8 are arranged on the adjacent sides of the valve cover 1 and the valve body 4, so that the effect of sealing both sides of the ball 3 can be achieved to avoid leakage of the circulating medium. After long-term use, wear and tear will inevitably occur between the first sealing ring 8 and the ball 3. Therefore, when the first sealing ring 8 is exhausted, the elastic force of the spring 5 can make the top block 6 and the second sealing ring 7 contact with the ball 3. At this time, the second sealing ring 7 can continue to maintain the sealing state of the ball valve to avoid leakage of the medium.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 Figure and Figure 4 The inner bottom of the valve stem 11 is provided with an antistatic spring 9, and one side of the antistatic spring 9 is provided with an antistatic ball 10, and one side of the antistatic ball 10 is in contact with the top of the ball 3. Through the cooperation of the antistatic spring 9 and the antistatic ball 10, when the valve seat is burned, the ball 3 can directly contact the metal surface on the valve body 4, thereby preventing a large amount of medium from leaking from the burned valve seat.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3, the second sealing ring 7 is set to be made of fluororubber material, and the first sealing ring 8 is set to be made of polytetrafluoroethylene material. By utilizing the excellent chemical resistance and low friction coefficient of polytetrafluoroethylene material, the chemical stability of the first sealing ring 8 can be improved, and the friction between the first sealing ring 8 and the ball 3 can be reduced, thereby avoiding excessive wear between the first sealing ring 8 and the ball 3. By utilizing the elasticity and flexibility of the fluororubber material, the second sealing ring 7 can be attached to the outside of the ball 3 to maintain the sealing state, and the fluororubber material has excellent heat resistance, oil resistance and chemical resistance, so the stability of the second sealing ring 7 can be greatly improved.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 5 A packing 12 is provided in the middle and upper part of the valve body 4, a gland flange 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top surface of the valve body 4, and the valve stem 11 passes through the packing 12 and the gland flange 13. A bracket 14 is fixedly connected to the outer middle of the top surface of the valve body 4, a gear box 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 14, a hand wheel 16 is provided on one side of the gear box 15, and the bottom of the gear box 15 is connected to the top of the valve stem 11. A thrust washer 17 is provided in the middle of the valve body 4, and the bottom end of the valve stem 11 is below the thrust washer 17. By rotating the hand wheel 16, the hand wheel 16 drives the gear box 15 to operate, and then the gear box 15 can drive the valve stem 11 to rotate. At this time, the valve stem 11 can drive the ball 3 to rotate, so as to control the opening and closing of the ball valve. At the same time, when the medium passes through the valve, the pressure in the cavity of the valve body 4 may push the valve stem 11 out. At this time, the valve stem 11 is restricted by the thrust washer 17. In this way, even if the packing 12 and the thrust bearing are burned or the packing 12 is damaged due to fire or other reasons, the medium pressure in the valve body 4 will make the flange of the valve stem 11 closely contact with the sealing surface on the valve body 4, so as to prevent a large amount of medium from leaking from the damaged packing 12.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, after the ball valve is connected to the pipeline, the hand wheel 16 is rotated to drive the gear box 15 to operate, and then the gear box 15 can be used to drive the valve stem 11 to rotate, and then the valve stem 11 can be used to drive the ball 3 to rotate, so as to control the opening and closing of the ball valve. In the process of use, the top block 6 can be pushed out by the spring 5, and then the top block 6 can be used to push the first sealing ring 8 to move, so that the first sealing ring 8 is pressed against the outside of the ball 3, thereby achieving a sealing effect, and between the valve cover 1 and the valve body 4 The spring 5, the top block 6 and the first sealing ring 8 are arranged on the adjacent sides of the sphere 3, so that the effect of sealing both sides of the sphere 3 can be achieved to avoid leakage of the circulating medium. At the same time, the first sealing ring 8 is set to be a polytetrafluoroethylene material. The excellent chemical resistance and low friction coefficient of the polytetrafluoroethylene material can improve the chemical stability of the first sealing ring 8, and at the same time, the friction between the first sealing ring 8 and the sphere 3 can be reduced to avoid excessive wear between the first sealing ring 8 and the sphere 3. After long-term use, the first sealing ring 8 Wear and tear will inevitably occur between the ring 8 and the ball 3. Therefore, when the first sealing ring 8 is exhausted, the elastic force of the spring 5 can make the top block 6 and the second sealing ring 7 contact the ball 3. By setting the second sealing ring 7 to be made of fluororubber material, the elasticity and flexibility of the fluororubber material can be used to make the second sealing ring 7 fit the outside of the ball 3, thereby maintaining the sealing state. In addition, the fluororubber material has excellent heat resistance, oil resistance and chemical resistance, so the stability of the second sealing ring 7 can be greatly improved. At the same time, when the medium passes through the valve, the pressure in the cavity of the valve body 4 can be The valve stem 11 can be pushed out, and at this time, the valve stem 11 is restricted by the thrust washer 17. In this way, even if the packing 12 and the thrust bearing are burned or the packing 12 is damaged due to other reasons during a fire, the medium pressure in the valve body 4 will make the flange of the valve stem 11 in close contact with the sealing surface on the valve body 4, preventing a large amount of medium from leaking from the damaged packing 12. In addition, through the cooperation of the anti-static spring 9 and the anti-static ball 10, when the valve seat is burned, the ball 3 can directly contact the metal surface on the valve body 4, thereby preventing a large amount of medium from leaking from the burned valve seat.
