Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a compression ball valve, belonging to the technical field of valves. Background Art

[0002] ‌A ball valve is a common valve. The ball core of the ball valve is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the ball valve. Since the opening and closing of the ball valve is achieved by the rotation of the ball core, the component that is in close contact with the ball core and acts as a seal is the PTFE sealing ring. During the use of the ball valve, the ball core constantly reciprocates and rubs against the PTFE sealing ring. Over time, the PTFE sealing ring will inevitably be damaged to varying degrees, eventually resulting in a decrease in the sealing effect and leakage. Once a leak occurs, the PTFE sealing ring needs to be replaced. The current structure of the ball valve is assembled on both sides horizontally. After the ball valve is installed on the pipeline, if you want to replace the PTFE sealing ring inside it, you must cut the pipeline and remove the ball valve from the pipeline to open the ball valve to replace the PTFE sealing ring inside it. After the repair, you need to reconnect the pipeline and the ball valve. The current structure of the ball valve is undoubtedly very troublesome to repair. Disassembling the pipeline also greatly increases the workload and time of maintenance, and also increases the maintenance cost. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a compression ball valve. When replacing the PTFE sealing ring, the operation is directly performed on the ball valve without cutting the pipeline, etc., thereby reducing the maintenance workload, shortening the maintenance time and saving the maintenance cost.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a compression ball valve, comprising a valve body, a ball core, a valve stem, a polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring and a handle, and also comprising a valve cover, the two sides of the valve body are respectively provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, the upper end of the valve body is provided with a mounting port, and the valve cover is connected to the mounting port; a rotating chamber for mounting the ball core is provided inside the valve body;

The side of the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring provided with a flexible sealing ring faces the water inlet or the water outlet. The ball core is installed in the rotating chamber, and the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring is in sealing contact with the ball core.

[0007] The top of the valve stem passes through the through hole opened in the center of the valve cover from bottom to top, the clamping block at the bottom of the valve stem is embedded in the clamping groove at the top of the ball core, the valve stem extends to the upper part outside the valve cover and is clamped with a handle, and a nut is provided on the valve stem above the handle.

[0008] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the outer end surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring, and the flexible sealing ring is arranged in the groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the flexible sealing ring is made of rubber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments 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 in 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.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: including a valve body 1, a ball core 3, a valve cover 4, a valve stem 5, a polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2 and a handle 8, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a water inlet 12 and a water outlet 13 are respectively provided at both side ends of the valve body 1, a mounting port 11 is provided at the upper end of the valve body 1, the valve cover 4 is connected to the mounting port 11 by bolts and a sealing coil is provided at the connection; a rotating chamber 14 for installing the ball core 3 is provided inside the valve body 1.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer end surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2 is provided with a flexible sealing ring 22. In order to improve the fixing effect of the flexible sealing ring 22, the outer end surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2 is provided with a groove 21 or an L groove, and the flexible sealing ring 22 is arranged in the groove 21. The flexible sealing ring 22 is preferably made of rubber; Figure 5 As shown, a slot 31 is provided on the top of the core 3; Figure 6 As shown, a limit block 52 is provided at the bottom of the valve stem 5, and a clamping block 51 adapted to the clamping groove 31 is provided at the bottom end of the limit block 52; a through hole for the valve stem 5 to pass through is provided at the center of the valve cover 4.

[0027] A polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2 is installed at the junction of the water inlet 12 and the rotating chamber 14 and at the junction of the water outlet 13 and the rotating chamber 14 respectively. The polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2 is provided with a flexible sealing ring 22 whose side faces the water inlet 12 or the water outlet 13. The ball core 3 is installed in the rotating chamber 14, and the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2 is in sealing contact with the ball core 3. The flexible sealing ring 22 is in contact with the inner end face of the water inlet 12 or the water outlet 13. The elasticity of the flexible sealing ring 22 is better than that of the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2. Therefore, the flexible sealing ring 22 will give the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2 a force toward the ball core 3, so that the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2 and the ball core 3 are better sealed.

[0028] The top end of the valve stem 5 passes through the through hole opened in the center of the valve cover 4 from bottom to top, and the block 51 at the bottom end of the valve stem 5 is embedded in the groove 31 at the top of the ball core 3. The valve stem 5 extends to the upper part outside the valve cover 4 and is clamped with a handle 8. A nut is provided on the valve stem 5 above the handle 8.

[0029] When assembling the utility model, first install the two polytetrafluoroethylene sealing rings 2 at the junction of the water inlet 12 and the rotating chamber 14 and the junction of the water outlet 13 and the rotating chamber 14 from the installation port 11, and then press the ball core 3 from the installation port 11 into the rotating chamber 14. Since the flexible sealing ring 22 has a certain elasticity, it can ensure that the ball core 3 can be smoothly pressed into the rotating chamber 14 without damaging the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2. At the same time, it can also make the ball core 3 always give the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring 2 a force toward the ball core 3 when rotating, thereby improving the sealing effect; then the top end of the valve stem 5 passes through the through hole opened at the center of the valve cover 4 from bottom to top until the limit block 52 abuts against the lower surface of the valve cover 4, and then the handle 8 is clamped in turn to install the nut 9, and the handle 8 is fixed to the valve stem 5 through the nut 9, and finally the clamping block 51 at the bottom end of the valve stem 5 is aligned with the clamping groove 31 at the top of the ball core 3, and the entire valve cover 4 is covered at the installation port 11 of the valve body 1 and connected by bolts, so that the entire ball valve is assembled. At this time, the clamping block 51 is embedded in the clamping groove 31, and the rotating handle 8 can drive the valve stem 5 to rotate. Since the clamping block 51 is embedded in the clamping groove 31, the rotation of the valve stem 5 will drive the ball core 3 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of opening and closing the ball valve.

[0030] In order to further improve the sealing effect, a sealing ring 6 and a pressure cover 7 are additionally provided. A sealing ring 6 is provided on the outer wall of the valve stem 5 at the corresponding position of the through hole of the valve cover 4. The pressure cover 7 is sleeved on the outside of the valve stem 5 and is threadedly connected to the through hole of the valve cover 4. The bottom end of the pressure cover 7 is against the top end of the sealing ring 6.

[0031] During use, if the PTFE sealing ring 2 is damaged and causes water leakage, the bolts connecting the valve cover 4 and the mounting port 11 are directly removed, the valve cover 4 is opened to directly take out the ball core 3 from the rotating chamber 14, and then the damaged PTFE sealing ring 2 can be replaced with a new PTFE sealing ring 2. After replacement, the ball valve can be reassembled. In order to facilitate the removal of the ball core 3 from the rotating chamber 14, a threaded hole 32 is opened on the bottom surface of the slot 31. When the ball core 3 needs to be removed, a pull ring with a threaded structure at one end is screwed into the threaded hole 32, and the ball core 3 is pulled out of the rotating chamber 14 by pulling the pull ring; since the overall assembly of the ball valve is operated by the mounting port 11 above the valve body 1, there is no need to remove the ball valve from the pipeline, and there is no need to cut the pipeline, etc., which greatly reduces the workload of maintenance, shortens the maintenance time and saves maintenance costs, and has great promotion value and significance.
