Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a valve, in particular to a ball valve, particularly to an adjustable top-mounted floating ball valve. Background Art

[0002] As the name implies, the valve core of a floating ball valve is floating. Under the action of the medium pressure, the ball can produce a certain displacement and press against the sealing ring of the outlet section to ensure the sealing of the outlet end. However, the current top-mounted floating ball valve has encountered many troubles during installation. One type of top-mounted floating ball valve is that during installation, the ball core needs to be placed vertically into the horizontal flow channel first, and then the ball core is adjusted to be horizontal so that the spherical surface of the ball core is pressed against the sealing ring (such as Chinese utility model patent CN204344984 U). This installation method is also very troublesome. Changing the ball core from vertical to horizontal requires several workers to operate at the same time, and requires collaborative installation, which has low installation efficiency. Another installation method of a top-mounted floating ball valve is that the ball core is installed from top to bottom and squeezes the valve seat to move (a compression spring is installed on the side end of the valve seat, and the valve seat is movable), so that the ball core is installed to the specified position (such as Chinese invention patent CN 102367879 A) This installation method is very likely to scratch the surface of the ball core, which will make the sealing of the ball core surface worse, and in severe cases will cause medium leakage. Summary of the invention

The diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the valve stem, so that the ball core floats through the pressure of the medium, so that it can be pressed more tightly on the right sealing ring. The greater the medium pressure, the tighter the ball core is pressed on the right sealing ring, and the better the effect of avoiding leakage.

[0005] Further improvement, the locking member includes a circular ring block fixed on the pressure block, a group of flat-end set screws evenly arranged along the center of the circular ring block are threadedly connected to the circular ring block, and a group of hexagon socket set screws evenly arranged along the center of the circular ring block and fastened to the valve body are installed on the circular ring block.
