[0018] Figure 2 For this utility model Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the middle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the invention, a low torque bidirectional sealed metal sealing floating ball valve comprises a valve body 1, a ball body 6 and a connector 2. The inner wall of the connector 2 is provided with a first step groove 21, a second step groove 22 and a third step groove 23 from bottom to top. The second step groove 22 and the first step groove 21 are pressed with a first sealing component 19 through a first valve seat 7. The valve body 1 is pressed with a second sealing component 13 through a second valve seat 70. A wound gasket 5 is fixedly pressed between the valve body 1 and the connector 2. In order to facilitate processing and assembly, the second sealing component 13 has the same structural dimensions as the first sealing component 19.
[0021] A second L-shaped groove 11 is provided at one end of the valve body 1, and a wound gasket 5 is crimped between the stepped groove 25 and the second L-shaped groove 11. The valve body 1 and the connecting body 2 are fixedly connected by bolts 24. A stepped groove 25 is provided at one end of the connecting body 2, and a first connecting hole 20 is provided at the other end, and the first connecting hole 20 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe. A second connecting hole 12 is provided at one end of the valve body 1, and the second connecting hole 12 is fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe.
[0022] The first sealing assembly 19 includes a wedge-shaped graphite packing 10, a packing pressing ring 9 and a disc spring 8 which are crimped in sequence. One end of the wedge-shaped graphite packing 10 is crimped with the second step groove 22. A plane 102 is provided at the other end of the wedge-shaped graphite packing 10. The bottom end of the disc spring 8 is crimped with the first valve seat 7. A conical surface 221 is provided at one end of the second step groove 22. A wedge-shaped end 101 is provided at one end of the wedge-shaped graphite packing 10. The conical surface 221 is crimped with the wedge-shaped end 101. The plane 102 is crimped with the packing pressing ring 9.
[0023] The disc spring 8 is provided with a large end 81 and a small end 82. The inner wall of the first valve seat 7 is provided with a first L-shaped groove 71. The disc spring 8 is clamped between the first L-shaped groove 71 and the first step groove 21. The first L-shaped groove 71 is pressed against the small end 82, and the large end 81 is pressed against the packing ring 9. The large end 81 presses the packing ring 9 and the wedge-shaped end 101 to the conical surface 221, thereby improving the sealing performance and reducing the torque.
[0024] A first wear-resistant layer 72 is provided at one corner of the inner wall of the first valve seat 7, and the first wear-resistant layer 72 is pressed against the ball 6. A second wear-resistant layer 701 is provided at the inner wall of one end of the second valve seat 70, and the second wear-resistant layer 701 is pressed against the ball 6 to improve wear resistance and extend the life of the valve seat.
[0025] A wedge-shaped graphite packing 10 is installed above the valve body and the connector, and a disc spring is used to provide a compression force to compress the packing ring. The valve seat is designed to be a structure where the disc spring provides a preload. The disc spring force acts on the packing ring to compress the wedge-shaped graphite packing, and at the same time provides a preload for the valve seat and the ball seal. The middle cavity medium enters the valve from the upstream, and under the medium pressure and the preload provided by the disc spring, the valve is sealed downstream through the downstream valve seat. Similarly, the middle cavity medium enters the valve from the downstream, and under the medium pressure and the preload provided by the disc spring, the valve seat on the other side can also be sealed. The wedge-shaped graphite plays a major sealing role, and the wedge-shaped surface design of the wedge-shaped end 101 of the graphite packing is used to enhance the sealing reliability and reduce the torque. This design has high sealing reliability, high stability, and can effectively reduce torque.
[0026] The above are only specific application examples of the utility model, and do not constitute any limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any technical solution formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement shall fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
