Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of valves, and in particular to a hard-sealed ball valve with an anti-sticking structure and a super-hard coating. Background Art

[0002] In the modern industrial system, the petroleum, petrochemical, chemical, electric power, and natural gas industries occupy a vital position, and their stable operation plays a key supporting role in the development of the national economy and the normal operation of society. In the production process of these industries, valves are key components for controlling fluid delivery, and their performance and quality are directly related to the safety, stability, and efficiency of the entire system. The Chinese utility model patent application number: CN201721515718.X proposes a new type of hard-sealed ball valve, including a valve stem and a valve body, the valve body includes a joint, a ball hole and a flow channel are arranged inside the joint, a ball is installed in the ball hole, a socket is arranged on the ball, the socket and the flow channel can be connected, the diameter of the ball is larger than the area of ​​the flow channel cross section, and the flow channel and the socket are used for the flow of water; one end of the valve stem is inserted into the ball, and the valve stem can drive the ball to rotate and adjust the overlap between the socket and the flow channel.

[0003] In actual application scenarios, hard-sealed ball valves face complex and harsh working conditions. A large amount of slag, catalyst solid particle impurities will be generated during the operation. When the fluid containing these impurities flows in the pipeline and passes through the hard-sealed ball valve, it will cause serious wear to the internal parts of the ball valve. Under the action of long-term scouring and friction, the valve seat and the ball core of the ball valve will gradually show signs of wear, resulting in a decrease in sealing performance and internal leakage of the valve. Once the valve leaks internally, it will not only cause a waste of fluid, but also may cause safety accidents. For example, the leakage of flammable and explosive fluids may cause fire and explosion hazards, and the leakage of toxic and harmful fluids will pose a serious threat to the environment and personnel health.

[0004] In addition, wear and tear will also affect the smoothness of the valve opening and closing process. Slag and catalyst impurities may enter the gap between the valve seat and the valve body, between the ball core and the shaft, and between the valve stem and the stuffing box, causing these parts to be blocked during movement and become stuck and not smooth. This not only increases the difficulty of operation and reduces work efficiency, but may also cause the valve to fail to accurately achieve the opening and closing action, affecting the normal operation of the entire equipment and device.

[0005] In some occasions where production continuity is extremely high, such as the continuous production process of large chemical plants, valve jamming or failure may cause the entire production line to shut down, resulting in huge economic losses. Therefore, how to improve the wear resistance and anti-jamming performance of hard-sealed ball valves has become an important issue that needs to be solved in the current industrial field.

[0006] Traditional hard-sealed ball valves often fail to meet actual needs when facing these complex working conditions. Their structural design and material selection may not effectively resist the wear and erosion of slag and catalyst impurities, and are prone to seal failure and jamming. Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a hard-sealed ball valve with an anti-jamming structure and super-hard coating. Utility Model Content

[0033] A first adjustment pad 4, a first sleeve 6 and a first seal 5 are provided between the bottom shaft 1 and the ball core 8 to prevent foreign matter from entering the gap between the bottom shaft and the ball core, and to prevent the ball core from getting stuck when rotating. A seal 15 is provided between the bottom shaft 1 and the main valve body 3, and the bottom shaft 1 and the main valve body 3 are connected by a first hexagon socket screw 2; a stuffing box 14 is provided between the main valve body 3 and the valve stem 9, and a stuffing 16 and a stuffing gland 19 are provided in the stuffing box 14, and the valve stem 9 is installed in the hole of the ball core 8. A second adjustment pad 12 and a third sleeve 13 are provided between the stuffing box 14 and the valve stem 9, and a second sleeve 10 and a third seal 11 are provided between the stuffing box 14 and the ball core 8.

[0034] A second adjustment pad 12, a third sleeve 13 and a third seal 11 are provided between the valve stem 9, the ball core 8 and the stuffing box 14 to prevent foreign matter from entering the gap between the valve stem and the stuffing box, and to prevent the valve stem from getting stuck when rotating. A connecting plate 17 is installed above the stuffing box 14, and a sealing pad 15 is provided between the main valve body 3 and the stuffing gland 19, and they are connected by a second hexagonal nut 23 and a second stud 24. The main valve body 3 and the auxiliary valve body 22 are connected by a first hexagonal nut 20 and a first stud 21. The ball core 8 adopts a stainless steel base, and the bases of the ball core 8 and the valve seat 7A4 are spray-welded with hard alloy 25 and superhard coating 26, which increases the service life of the valve and is particularly suitable for high-frequency switching and wear-resistant harsh working conditions.

[0035] The working principle of the utility model is that the valve seat assembly 7A is a key component to prevent the valve seat from getting stuck. The metal bellows 7A1 is welded to the inner cavity of the main valve body 3, which plays a connecting and certain buffering role. The spring seat 7A2 and the spring 7A3 provide elastic support for the valve seat 7A4, so that the valve seat can fit closely with the ball core 8 to ensure the sealing performance. A sealing ring 7A5 is provided at one end of the valve seat 7A4, and a second sealing member 7A6 is provided between the other end and the main valve body 3. These two sealing components form a double protection to prevent foreign matter in the fluid from entering the gap between the valve seat and the valve body. Once foreign matter enters, the valve seat may not be able to move flexibly during the rotation of the ball, resulting in a stuck phenomenon. The presence of the sealing ring 7A5 and the second sealing member 7A6 can effectively avoid this situation and ensure that the valve seat always maintains good activity performance. The pressure ring 7A7 and the clamping ring 7A8 play a role of fixing and limiting to ensure the relative position stability of the various components of the valve seat assembly.

[0036] The bottom shaft 1 is installed in the hole of the ball core 8, and a first adjustment pad 4, a first sleeve 6 and a first seal 5 are arranged between them. The first adjustment pad 4 can be used to adjust the gap between the bottom shaft and the ball core to ensure the matching accuracy; the first sleeve 6 plays a role of supporting and reducing friction, so that the ball core can rotate flexibly on the bottom shaft; the first seal 5 prevents foreign matter from entering the gap between the bottom shaft and the ball core. If foreign matter enters the gap, it will increase the resistance to the rotation of the ball core, and even cause the ball core to get stuck and unable to rotate. These sealing and protective components effectively prevent the ball core from getting stuck when rotating. The valve stem 9 is installed in the hole of the ball core 8, and a stuffing box 14 is arranged between the main valve body 3 and the valve stem 9. The stuffing 16 in the stuffing box 14 plays a sealing role to prevent fluid leakage. The stuffing gland 19 is used to compress the stuffing to ensure the sealing effect.

[0037] A second adjustment pad 12 and a third sleeve 13 are installed between the stuffing box 14 and the valve stem 9, and a second sleeve 10 and a third seal 11 are installed between the stuffing box 14 and the ball core 8. The second adjustment pad 12 can adjust the gap between the valve stem and the stuffing box; the third sleeve 13 reduces the friction when the valve stem rotates; the second sleeve 10 supports the valve stem and ensures its rotation stability; the third seal 11 prevents foreign matter from entering the gap between the valve stem and the stuffing box. These components work together to prevent the valve stem from getting stuck due to foreign matter entering during rotation.

[0038] A sealing gasket 15 is provided between the bottom shaft 1 and the main valve body 3, and they are connected by a first hexagon socket screw 2. The sealing gasket 15 prevents fluid from leaking from the connection between the bottom shaft and the main valve body, and the first hexagon socket screw 2 ensures the firmness of the connection.

[0039] A sealing gasket 15 is provided between the main valve body 3 and the auxiliary valve body 22, and the first hexagonal nut 20 and the first stud 21 are used to connect them. The sealing gasket 15 prevents fluid leakage at the connection part of the main and auxiliary valve bodies, and the first hexagonal nut 20 and the first stud 21 tightly connect the main and auxiliary valve bodies together.

[0040] A sealing gasket 15 is provided between the main valve body 3 and the packing gland 19, and they are connected by a second hexagonal nut 23 and a second stud 24. The sealing gasket 15 prevents fluid leakage from the connection between the main valve body and the packing gland, and the second hexagonal nut 23 and the second stud 24 ensure the reliability of the connection.

[0041] The ball core 8 is made of stainless steel substrate, and hard alloy 25 and super-hard coating 26 are spray-welded on the substrates of the ball core 8 and the valve seat 7A4. The hard alloy 25 has high hardness and wear resistance, and can withstand the erosion and friction of particles in the fluid; the super-hard coating 26 further improves the hardness and wear resistance of the ball core and the valve seat surface. Under high-frequency switching conditions, the ball core and the valve seat frequently contact and move relative to the fluid. The super-hard coating can effectively reduce wear and greatly increase the service life of the valve, so that it can adapt to working conditions with demanding wear resistance requirements.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. Therefore, any modification or replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
