Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water meters, in particular to a ball valve sealing device capable of maintaining life-saving water. Background Art

[0002] A water meter is a device that measures the water consumption of residential residents. The water meter is generally switched on and off by rotating a ball valve body at the center. The two ends of the ball valve body are sealed by ball valve sealing rings that fit on the spherical surface. When the water hole in the center of the ball valve body rotates to correspond to the inner hole of the ball valve sealing ring, the water meter opens; when the water hole and the inner hole of the ball valve sealing ring are misaligned, the water meter closes.

[0003] The traditional way for residents to use water is to use it first and pay for it later. However, some individual users do not pay for water in time after use, which causes disputes between water companies and water users. For this reason, the water meter manufacturing industry has launched smart water meters and realized a prepaid smart water platform, which fundamentally solves the aforementioned problems. However, it was also discovered that some lonely, single and elderly residents were unable to prepay their water bills in time due to illness and other reasons, resulting in water supply being stopped and endangering their lives. This is obviously not in line with the people-oriented development concept and should not happen in today's society. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims at the deficiencies of the prior art and provides a ball valve sealing device capable of maintaining life-saving water.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical scheme, and provides a ball valve sealing device capable of maintaining life-saving water, comprising a ball valve body and a ball valve sealing ring attached to both ends of the ball valve body, the ball valve body is provided with a water through hole, the ball valve body is provided with a small through hole, and the small through hole penetrates the ball valve body along the radial direction of the water through hole.

[0006] The present invention has a water hole on the ball valve body, which can ensure the passage of a small amount of water even when the ball valve is in the cut-off state, thereby fundamentally preventing elderly people living alone from obtaining life-sustaining water when the ball valve is closed due to an accident and they are unable to pay the water fee in advance.

[0007] As an optimization, the small through hole passes through the center of the ball valve body and is perpendicular to the water through hole, so as to ensure that when the ball valve is in the cut-off state, the small through hole is concentrically connected with the ball valve sealing rings at both ends.

[0008] As an optimization, the small through hole is a circular hole, a rectangular hole, a triangular hole or a hole with a special cross section. In this solution, the shape of the small through hole is limited to ensure its function while facilitating processing.

[0009] As an optimization, the inner hole of the ball valve sealing ring is provided with a groove connecting the two sides of the ball valve sealing ring. In this solution, a groove is provided in the inner hole of the ball valve sealing ring. When the ball valve is in the cut-off state, the groove allows a small amount of water to flow through the two sides of the ball valve sealing ring. By providing grooves on both ball valve sealing rings, the ball valve can allow a certain amount of water to flow through.

[0010] As an optimization, the ball valve sealing ring is provided with two grooves which are symmetrically arranged to prevent a single groove from being blocked and water from being unable to pass through.

[0011] As an optimization, the cross section of the groove is circular, rectangular, triangular or special-shaped. In this solution, the shape of the groove is limited to ensure its function while facilitating processing.

[0012] As an optimization, a flow groove is provided on the spherical surface of the ball valve body, and the flow groove connects the two ends of the water through hole.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model is a ball valve sealing device capable of maintaining life-saving water, which improves the existing prepaid water meter ball valve sealing structure, so that it can not only ensure the accuracy of prepaid metering, but also provide limited life-saving water when residents are temporarily unable to prepay water bills due to illness, thereby fundamentally avoiding the tragedy caused by the temporary lack of prepaid water bills. With the aggravation of the aging population in my country, this water meter capable of maintaining life-saving water will surely be favored and promoted. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
