Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a double-driven ball valve with a valve core and a flow regulating ball. Background Art

[0002] Ball valve is a valve whose ball is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the ball valve. Ball valves are widely used in oil refining, long-distance pipelines, chemicals, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, electricity, municipal administration, steel and other industries, and they play an important role in the national economy. They have the function of rotating 90 degrees, and the plug body is a sphere with a circular through hole or channel passing through its axis.

[0003] Ball valves are mainly used in pipelines to cut off, distribute and change the flow direction of the medium. They can be closed tightly by simply rotating 90 degrees and using a very small torque. Ball valves are most suitable for use as switches and cut-off valves.

[0004] With the development of society, and with the rapid development of modern large-scale machinery, petroleum, chemical industry, new energy, nuclear industry and other industries, the requirements for valves are getting higher and higher. For ball valves, not only are they required to have a cut-off function, but they are also required to have a flow regulation function. At present, for such requirements, it is usually necessary to configure another valve to achieve flow regulation, and cooperate with the ball valve to achieve the purpose of cutting off and regulating the flow. Such a structure will not only make the structure of the pipeline more complicated, but the flow regulation valve also does not have the characteristic of long service life of the ball valve. Utility Model Content
