[0002] The ball valve is a widely used valve type with the characteristics of simple structure, good sealing and easy operation. It is mainly composed of a ball, a valve seat, a valve body, a valve stem and a drive device. The opening and closing of the fluid is achieved by rotating the through hole on the ball. Due to its ability to open and close quickly, low fluid resistance and excellent sealing performance, the ball valve is widely used in many industries such as petroleum, natural gas, chemical industry, papermaking, urban construction, etc., especially suitable for medium and low pressure environments.

When handling media containing solid particles or high-speed flow, the ball and valve seat of traditional ball valves are susceptible to erosion and rapid wear, which will reduce the sealing performance and service life of the valve. In addition, when traditional ball valves are operated at a small opening, their flow control accuracy and repeatability usually cannot meet strict industrial standards, especially in situations where fine adjustment of fluid dynamics is required.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The four right-angled sides of the valve body 1 in the same direction are provided with connecting columns 2, the upper end of the valve body 1 is provided with a wrench 4, the upper end of the wrench 4 is provided with a nut 3, the left end of the wrench 4 is provided with a triangular plate 5, the upper end of the connecting column 2 is provided with a limiting column 6, and the valve body 1 Sealing joints 7 are provided at the front and rear ends. The valve body 1 provides the main structure and outer shell of the entire ball valve, protects the internal components from the influence of the external environment, and ensures the correct flow direction of the fluid. The connecting column 2 is used to enhance the structural stability of the valve body, and at the same time serves as a supporting structure for additional components such as the limit column 6. The nut 3 is used to fix the wrench 4 so that the operator can adjust the opening and closing state of the valve. The wrench 4 is a tool for manually operating the ball valve, and the rotation of the ball 8 is achieved by acting on the nut 3. The triangular plate 5 enhances the leverage effect of the wrench 4, making it easier for the user to operate the valve. The limit column 6 limits the range of motion of the wrench 4 to prevent excessive rotation from damaging the ball valve. The sealing joint 7 ensures that the valve connection does not leak, thereby providing protection for the reliability of the system.
[0026] A sphere 8 is arranged inside the valve body 1, and a through hole 9 is arranged in the horizontal direction of the sphere 8. An inflow channel 10 is arranged at the left end of the valve body 1, and an outflow channel 11 is arranged at the right end of the valve body 1. An upper valve stem 12 is arranged at the upper end of the sphere 8, and an upper bearing 13 is arranged on the upper valve stem 12. The sphere 8 is the core component of the ball valve, and the on-off of the fluid is controlled by the through hole 9 inside it. The through hole 9 allows or prevents the fluid from passing through the sphere 8 to realize the fluid control function. The inflow channel 10 and the outflow channel 11 are the inlet and outlet of the ball valve, which control the entry and exit of the fluid. The upper valve stem 12 and the lower valve stem 16 are connected to the sphere 8 so that they can rotate to adjust the position of the through hole 9.
[0027] A first spring 14 is arranged between the valve body 1 and the wrench 4, a limit end 15 is arranged at the lower end of the wrench 4, a lower valve stem 16 is arranged at the lower end of the ball 8, a lower bearing 17 is arranged on the lower valve stem 16, a valve seat 18 is arranged around the ball 8 and forms a sealing contact with the ball 8, a sealing ring 19 is arranged on the inner side of the valve seat 18, a second spring 20 is arranged between the valve seat 18 and the inside of the valve body 1, the limit end 15 is used in conjunction with the limit column 6 to determine the maximum rotation angle of the wrench 4 to avoid excessive operation, the valve seat 18 tightly surrounds the ball 8 and forms a sealing contact with it to prevent fluid leakage, and the sealing ring 19 is installed on the inner side of the valve seat 18 to enhance the sealing performance and protect the ball valve from medium erosion.
[0028] Working principle: When using a small-opening erosion-resistant hard-sealed ball valve, the position of the ball 8 can be adjusted by accurately controlling the rotation of the wrench 4 to ensure that its through hole 9 is aligned or misaligned with the inflow channel 10 and the outflow channel 11. This alignment determines whether the valve is in an open or closed state. When the through hole 9 is aligned with the inflow channel 10 and the outflow channel 11, the fluid can flow freely and the valve is in a fully open state. When the through hole 9 is not aligned with the inflow channel 10 and the outflow channel 11, the fluid is cut off and the valve is closed. During operation, the user can adjust the angle of the ball 8 by rotating the wrench 4. This rotation is limited by the limit column 6 on the connecting column 2 to prevent excessive The upper valve stem 12 and the lower valve stem 16 help maintain the stable rotation of the ball through the upper bearing 13 and the lower bearing 17 to ensure smooth and precise operation. Small opening operation is particularly suitable for application scenarios that require fine adjustment of flow or pressure, especially when dealing with fluids containing solid particles. The small opening can reduce the scouring effect of particles on the inside of the valve, thereby extending the service life of the valve. The hard seal design uses wear-resistant materials and sealing rings 19 to ensure good sealing even under frequent or harsh conditions of use. The first spring 14 and the second spring 20 provide necessary force support in mechanical operation to ensure the recovery and durability of the sealing contact.
