Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a floating high-frequency ball valve. Background Art

[0002] A floating ball valve is a special type of ball valve whose ball can float freely in the valve body. When subjected to medium pressure, the ball can automatically adjust its position to ensure a close fit with the valve seat, thereby achieving an efficient sealing effect. Under some working conditions, the floating ball valve needs to be operated frequently. Its stability and sealing performance under high-frequency operation are conducive to improving the efficiency and quality of medium transportation.

Corresponding fluid channels are provided inside the valve body, the valve seat and the valve ball. The valve body is composed of a main valve body and a sub-valve body fixed to each other. A circle of grooves is provided at the part of the main valve body corresponding to the outer side of the valve seat, and an annular spring is provided in the groove, so that the valve seat can be pushed toward the valve ball by the elastic force of the spring to ensure the sealing performance of the contact surface between the valve ball and the valve seat. The utility model has a structure in which a circle of grooves is provided at the part of the valve body corresponding to the outer side of the valve seat and an annular disc spring is provided, which has good bidirectional sealing performance and can ensure that the leakage level of the valve seat reaches ANSI / FCI Class VI.

[0004] However, this technical solution has the following problems: first, there is a gap between the contact part of the spring and the valve seat. During high-frequency operation, the medium can easily enter the gap, affecting the operation of the spring and causing the medium to leak at the junction of the valve seat and the valve ball; second, a seal is provided between the valve seat and the valve body, which can easily cause the medium to leak at the connection between the valve seat and the valve body.

An elastic member 5 is axially abutted between the valve seat 4 and the valve body 1 on at least one side, and the elastic member 5 is parallel to the opposite end surface of the valve seat 4 and fits each other. It should be noted that in normal use, the side where the elastic member 5 is provided is generally the upstream of the pipeline. When the valve is closed, the upstream medium pressure is consistent with the direction of the force of the elastic member 5, so that the valve remains sealed. The elastic member 5 is a butterfly spring and is in a pre-tightened state.

[0031] The elastic member 5 is arranged parallel to the valve seat 4 to prevent external media from entering between the elastic member 5 and the valve seat 4 to affect the operation of the elastic member 5, so that the elastic member 5 can maintain stability during high-frequency operation of the ball valve, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0032] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the outer side surface of the valve seat 4 is arranged tightly against the inner wall of the valve body 1 to improve the sealing effect between the valve seat 4 and the valve body 1. A first sealing ring 6 is provided at the abutment between the valve seat 4 and the valve ball 2, and the pressure given to the valve seat 4 by the elastic member 5 further improves the sealing effect between the valve seat 4 and the valve ball 2.

[0033] like Figure 2 , 4As shown, the valve body 1 is provided with a discharge slope 11 corresponding to the outer side of the valve seat 4, and at least one sealing member 12 is provided at the abutment between the valve body 1 and the valve seat 4.
