[0021] Embodiment 1
[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 A self-compensating bidirectional double-sealed ball valve comprises a valve body 1 and a ball 4, wherein: a valve seat 3 is fixedly installed at the inlet and outlet of the valve body 1, and the arrangement of the valve seat 3 can ensure the smoothness and stability of the ball 4 during rotation, and at the same time ensure the sealing between the ball 4 and the valve body 1, and a valve stem 2 is rotatably installed on the valve body 1; the ball 4 is rotatably installed inside the valve body 1, and the ball 4 is between two valve seats 3, and the ball 4 is rotatably connected to the two valve seats 3; the ball 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the valve stem 2; a valve seat gland 5 is fixedly installed at the inlet of the valve body 1;
[0023] The valve seat 3 includes an inner valve seat 31, an intermediate seat 32 and an outer valve seat 33, and the outer side of the inner valve seat 31 is fixedly mounted with the outer valve seat 33 through the intermediate seat 32. The inner valve seat 31 can always fit with the ball 4 to ensure the sealing between the ball 4. The inner valve seat 31, the intermediate seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33 are coaxial. When wear occurs between the inner valve seat 31 and the ball 4, the intermediate seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33 can contact with the ball 4 under the pressure of the conveying medium, thereby 4 for compensating sealing; the inner side of the inner valve seat 31 is in rotational contact with the ball 4; the diameter of the inner valve seat 31 is larger than the diameters of the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33, and the inner diameter of the smallest part of the inner valve seat 31 matches the inner diameter of the middle seat 32; the diameter of the outer valve seat 33 is larger than the diameter of the middle seat 32, and the inner diameter of the outer valve seat 33 is smaller than the inner diameter of the middle seat 32; the inner valve seat 31, the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33 are slidably mounted between the valve seat gland 5 and the ball 4; the inner diameter of the outer valve seat 33 matches the inner diameter of the through hole on the ball 4;
[0024] It should be noted that when there is no wear on the contact portion between the inner valve seat 31 and the ball 4, the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33 do not contact the ball 4. In this way, during the opening or closing process of the ball 4, the ball 4 will not wear against the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33, thereby improving the overall service life.
[0025] A sealing packing and a packing gland are provided between the valve body 1 and the valve stem 2. The setting of the sealing packing and the packing gland can ensure the sealing between the valve body 1 and the valve stem 2. A handle 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the valve stem 2, and the handle 6 is rotatably connected to the valve body 1. Through the setting of the handle 6, a force point can be provided for the operator when opening or closing the ball 4.
[0026] The valve seat gland 5 includes an externally threaded ring seat 51, through which the valve seat gland 5 and the valve body 1 can be easily disassembled and assembled, so as to maintain and repair the ball 4 and the valve seat 3 at a later time, and an inner positioning ring 52 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the externally threaded ring seat 51. The stability between the valve seat 3 and the ball 4 can be ensured by the setting of the inner positioning ring 52, and the inner positioning ring 52 is coaxial with the externally threaded ring seat 51; the diameter of the externally threaded ring seat 51 is larger than the diameter of the inner positioning ring 52, and the inner diameter of the externally threaded ring seat 51 is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner positioning ring 52; the inner diameter of the inner positioning ring 52 matches the diameter of the inner valve seat 31; the inner diameter of the externally threaded ring seat 51 matches the diameter of the outer valve seat 33; the inner valve seat 31 is slidably installed in the inner positioning ring 52; the intermediate seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33 are slidably installed in the externally threaded ring seat 51; the inner positioning ring 52 is fixedly installed at the inlet of the valve body 1 through the externally threaded ring seat 51.
[0027] A sealing ring is provided between the inner valve seat 31 and the inner positioning ring 52 . The sealing ring ensures the sealing between the inner valve seat 31 and the inner positioning ring 52 .
[0028] In this embodiment, when in use, the self-compensating bidirectional double-sealed ball valve is fixedly installed on the required pipeline through the valve body 1. When the ball 4 needs to be opened, the valve stem 2 only needs to be rotated clockwise through the handle 6 until the through hole on the ball 4 coincides with the inlet and outlet on the valve body 1.
[0029] When the ball 4 needs to be closed, the valve stem 2 is simply rotated counterclockwise by the handle 6 until the through hole on the ball 4 is completely offset from the inlet and outlet on the valve body 1;
[0030] In the early stage, there is no wear between the ball 4 and the inner valve seat 31, and there is good sealing between them. Whether the ball 4 is opened or closed, the ball 4 will not contact the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33, so that the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33 can be prevented from being worn, thereby ensuring the service life of the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33;
[0031] In the later stage, when wear occurs between the ball 4 and the inner valve seat 31, the pressure of the conveying medium can drive the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33 to move to one side of the ball 4, forcing the inner valve seat 31 to contact the ball 4, thereby continuing to ensure the sealing between the ball 4 and the inner valve seat 31;
[0032] When the ball 4 and the inner valve seat 31 continue to wear and can no longer be sealed, the pressure of the conveying medium can drive the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33 to move to one side of the ball 4, forcing the middle seat 32 and the outer valve seat 33 to contact the ball 4, thereby continuing to ensure the sealing between the ball 4. In this way, the overall service life and sealing effect are greatly improved, making the whole safer and more reliable.
[0033] Utilizing the technical solution described in the utility model, or those skilled in the art designing similar technical solutions inspired by the technical solution of the utility model to achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
