[0012] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0013] Example 1
[0014] like Figure 1-2As shown, a valve core positioning tool for a ball valve includes an expansion column that matches the inner cavity of the valve core 9, the expansion column is connected to an opening drive device and a closing drive device, the expansion column is squeezed and fixed with the inner wall of the valve core 5 in the open state, and the valve core 5 is positioned, the expansion column is separated from the inner wall of the valve core 5 in the closed state, so that the valve core 9 after press-fitting can be taken out with the ball valve housing to complete the installation action, in this embodiment, the expansion column includes 4-8 sliders 7, the sliders 7 are made of stainless steel material, and can also be quenched as required to ensure structural strength and wear resistance, each slider 7 is matched to form a cylindrical shape, the outer wall matches the inner wall of the ball valve, so that the expansion column and the valve core 9 are coaxial. line, the corresponding expansion column is coaxial with the driving shaft of the valve core 9, and a cylindrical opening driving cavity is formed between each slider 7. The opening driving device includes a driving column 2 installed in the opening driving cavity, and the end of the driving column 2 is processed with a slope 4 that cooperates with the inner wall of the slider 7. In this embodiment, the end of the driving column 2 is processed into an inverted cone shape, and the inner wall of the slider 7 is also processed into a slope 4, so that the end of the driving column 2 does not exceed the expansion column upward under normal conditions. During the relative movement of the driving column 2 and the expansion column, the expansion column can be driven to open through the cooperation of the slope 4. In order to increase the service life, lubricating oil needs to be added regularly. The closing driving device includes an elastic ring 8 mounted outside the expansion column, and the elastic ring 8 can be a sealing ring or a retaining spring.
[0015] The cam 7 is a kind of cam which is used for the expansion column 1 and the expansion column 1 is a kind of cam which is used for the expansion column 1. The cam 7 is a kind of cam which is used for the expansion column 1 and the expansion column 1 is a kind of cam which is used for the expansion column 1. The cam 7 is a kind of cam which is used for the expansion column 1 and the expansion column 1 is a kind of cam which is used for the expansion column 1.
[0016] During use, the support seat 1 is installed on the manipulator to perform lifting, flipping and other actions. The manipulator is equipped with a power device that drives the drive column to move. The power device can be an electric push rod, a cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc. The power device pulls the drive column 2 to move, thereby opening the expansion column, which can achieve coaxial fixation and avoid the positioning tooling from extending outside the valve core, thereby avoiding interference during the installation process.
