Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of check valves, and in particular relates to a spherical check valve. Background Art

[0002] A check valve is a valve used to prevent fluid backflow and is widely used in various fluid pipeline systems. However, existing check valve designs focus more on the valve's switching function and pressure resistance, and less on the valve's vibration resistance and noise. In practical applications, the valve's sealing performance directly affects the operating efficiency and safety of the pipeline system, while the valve's vibration resistance affects the valve's service life and stability, and noise affects the working environment. Therefore, how to provide a check valve that has both good sealing performance and can effectively resist vibration and reduce noise is an urgent problem to be solved in the field of valve technology.

[0003] Among various check valves, ball check valves are widely used due to their compact structure, small flow resistance and fast closing.

[0004] The ball check valve is a check valve with multiple balls and multiple flow channels, which is mainly composed of a front and rear valve body, a rubber ball, etc. For example, the prior art discloses an energy-saving slow-closing ball check valve, and its publication number is CN201391651Y; its working principle is: the rubber ball rolls in a short stroke in the ball cover to realize the opening and closing of the valve. When the water pump is started, the water under the action of pressure flushes the rubber ball, causing the rubber ball to roll to the right side, and the check valve opens; after the pump stops, due to the return water pressure in the pipeline system, the rubber ball is forced to roll to the left water inlet end valve body, achieving the check closure.

[0005] However, traditional ball check valves still have some problems in certain specific application scenarios, such as high vibration and high pressure environments, such as insufficient sealing performance, susceptibility to vibration damage, and high noise.

[0006] The present application optimizes and improves the problem of high noise of a ball check valve, and proposes a ball check valve with a shock-absorbing effect. Utility Model Content

The ball cage includes an inlet orifice plate connected to the inlet valve body, and the inlet orifice plate is connected to the outlet orifice plate through at least one group of connecting rods. The inlet orifice plate and the outlet orifice plate are provided with corresponding flow holes, and each group of connecting rods includes at least three connecting rods, and the connecting rods are evenly distributed along the center of the flow holes; a rubber ball is provided between each group of connecting rods to cooperate with the flow holes of the inlet orifice plate to achieve sealing; a shock-absorbing pad is fixedly installed on each connecting rod, and the lower surface of the shock-absorbing pad on the same group of connecting rods on the rubber ball side is located on the same plane. Preferably, a limit ring is fixedly provided on the connecting rod near the outlet end, and the shock-absorbing pad abuts the limit ring.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the connecting rod is threaded or welded on the water inlet orifice plate, and the other end of the connecting rod extends out of the water outlet orifice plate, and a locking nut is screwed on the end of the connecting rod.

[0010] Preferably, the rubber ball comprises a hollow steel ball, and the outer surface of the hollow steel ball is coated with rubber.

[0011] The utility model has the advantages and technical effects: in the utility model, by arranging the shock-absorbing pads on the connecting rods, and the lower surfaces of the shock-absorbing pads on the same group of connecting rods are located on the same plane, so that when the valve is vibrated, the shock-absorbing pads can effectively absorb and disperse the vibration energy, thereby protecting the valve from damage and improving the service life and stability of the valve. At the same time, by arranging the rubber ball to cooperate with the flow hole of the water inlet orifice plate to achieve sealing, the sealing performance of the valve can be greatly improved to prevent fluid leakage.
