Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball valve spheres, and more specifically to a low-temperature ball valve sphere. Background Art
[0002] A ball valve is a kind of valve that uses a ball as a closing part. The ball can be driven to rotate by a rotating drive device so that the ball flow port coincides with or is perpendicular to the valve body flow port, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the valve. It can also be used for the regulation and control of fluids and gases. Among them, the cryogenic ball valve is mainly suitable for chemical plants such as ethylene and liquefied natural gas, and its output liquid cryogenic media such as ethylene, liquid oxygen, and liquid hydrogen. The existing cryogenic ball valve ball still has shortcomings in the process of being used in conjunction with the valve body. The ball gradually shrinks to a certain extent under low temperature conditions, thereby causing the matching gap between the ball and the sealing member in the valve body to gradually increase, and the medium is easy to leak from here. In addition, the contraction of the ball will cause the ball to contain less, thereby causing the pressure on the ball to increase. In severe cases, the ball is easy to burst, which will threaten the life safety of the staff. Therefore, the utility model proposes a cryogenic ball valve ball. Utility Model Content

[0037] Through the above settings, the setting of the sealing sleeve of the utility model effectively enhances the sealing performance between the ball body and the valve seat.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an annular limiting groove 402 is provided on one side of the pressure relief port 401, and an annular limiting plate 301 is fixedly provided at the position of the pressure relief plate 3 corresponding to the annular limiting groove 402. An inner annular groove 302 is provided on the side of the annular limiting plate 301 away from the pressure relief plate 3, and a sealing ring 16 is fixedly provided in the inner annular groove 302; a fixing groove 403 is provided between the annular limiting groove 402 and the flow port 4, and a fixing ring plate 9 is fixed in the fixing groove 403 by a plurality of screws; the fixing ring plate 9 and the upper end surface of the pressure relief plate 3 match the inner curvature of the flow port 4; the spherical body includes an upper hemisphere 5 and the lower hemisphere 6, an annular fixing part 501 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the upper hemisphere 5, an annular inner groove 601 is provided at the upper end of the lower hemisphere 6 corresponding to the annular fixing part 501, the annular fixing part 501 is clamped in the corresponding annular inner groove 601, a plurality of bolt grooves 602 are provided at the side of the lower hemisphere 6 corresponding to the annular inner groove 601, bolt grooves 602 are provided with bolts 14, bolts 14 penetrate through the lower hemisphere 6 and are fixedly connected with the annular fixing part 501; a sealing ring groove 502 is provided at the lower end of the upper hemisphere 5, a sealing ring 15 is fixedly provided in the sealing ring groove 502.
[0041] Through the above settings, the settings of the annular limiting groove 402 and the annular limiting plate 301 of the utility model can effectively prevent the pressure relief plate 3 from leaving the pressure relief port 401, and the setting of the sealing ring 16 strengthens the sealing performance between the annular limiting plate 301 and the pressure relief port 401, which can effectively prevent the medium from leaking to the lower end of the pressure relief plate 3; the setting of the fixed groove 403 and the fixed ring plate 9 of the utility model enables the high elastic spring 13 and the pressure relief plate 3 to be taken out and replaced when the fixed ring plate 9 is taken out; the above settings of the utility model can effectively prevent the fixed ring plate 9 and the pressure relief plate 3 from being impacted by the medium, and also ensure that the fixed ring plate 9 and the pressure relief plate 3 will not affect the circulation of the medium; the setting of the annular fixing part 501 and the annular inner groove 601 of the utility model enables the spherical body to be separated, thereby facilitating the subsequent replacement of the pressure relief plate 3 and the high elastic spring 13, and also facilitating the subsequent cleaning of the inner side of the spherical body; the setting of the sealing ring 2 15 of the utility model strengthens the sealing performance between the upper hemisphere 5 and the lower hemisphere 6, which can effectively prevent the medium from leaking.
[0042] Working principle: When in use, when the ball shrinks in a low temperature state, the elastic force of the sealing sleeve will make the outer surface of the ball always against the valve seat, thereby playing a sealing role and preventing the leakage of the medium. When the ball shrinks, the internal pressure will suddenly increase. The increase in pressure will squeeze the pressure relief plate 3 to move to the side of the high-elastic spring 13, thereby squeezing the high-elastic spring 13 to increase the capacity inside the ball, thereby effectively reducing the internal pressure and effectively preventing the ball from bursting. When the sealing sleeve needs to be replaced, just take out the bolt 11 and then pull the side sleeves 1 on both sides to both sides. Excessive pulling force will make the widened part 701 Leaving the inner groove 17 can realize the separation of the side sleeve 1, so that the sealing sleeve can be removed for replacement. When the pressure relief plate 3 and the high-elastic spring 13 need to be replaced, it is only necessary to take out the sealing sleeve, remove the bolt 2 14 to separate the upper hemisphere 5 from the lower hemisphere 6, and then take out the screws and remove the fixing ring plate 9. Then, the pressure relief plate 3 and the high-elastic spring 13 can be replaced, which effectively extends the service life of the ball. The fixing methods of the bolt 1 11, the bolt 2 14, the screws, the high-elastic spring 13, the upper valve stem 8, the lower valve stem 10 and the ball body of the utility model are all disclosed in the prior art, so this application will not go into too much detail.

All technical solutions under the idea of the utility model belong to the protection scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the utility model should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
