Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball valves, and more specifically to a notched semi-ball valve. Background Art
[0002] As an important control component of the pipeline system, valves are widely used to change the cross-section of the passage and the flow direction of the medium. They have the functions of diversion, cut-off, throttling, check, diversion or overflow pressure relief. Ball valves are widely used in various industries, including petroleum, chemical industry, natural gas, water treatment, etc., due to their simple structure, convenient operation, good sealing performance, and small fluid resistance. In these industries, ball valves are key equipment for regulating and controlling the flow of media;
[0003] However, the existing common ball valves have some obvious defects in practical applications, which affect their use effect and reliability under complex working conditions. The opening force of the common ball valve is large, which makes the operation inconvenient. Its sealing performance is easy to fail under high pressure difference and high flow rate, resulting in medium leakage. When the common ball valve handles medium containing solid particles or two-phase mixed flow, it is easy to be affected by scaling obstacles, resulting in valve jamming or sealing surface damage. In addition, the high-speed medium scours and wears the ball and valve seat seriously, shortening the service life of the valve and increasing the cost of maintenance and replacement. These defects limit the application of common ball valves under complex and harsh working conditions, and cannot meet the industrial field's demand for high efficiency, safety and long life of valves.
[0004] In view of the practical application of hemispheric valves under various working conditions, the notched hemispheric valve can significantly improve the above problems through its special ball notch design. This design reduces the flow rate of high-speed media when passing through the valve, thereby reducing the wear on the ball and the valve seat and extending the service life of the valve. In addition, the notch design expands the flow channel, improves the flow control ability of the valve at a small opening, ensures the smooth flow of the medium, and reduces the operating force. At the same time, the notched hemispheric valve can also effectively prevent the formation of scaling obstacles and ensure the reliability and stability of the valve when handling two-phase mixed flow media. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a notched hemispheric valve to overcome the defects in the existing technology and meet the industrial field's demand for high efficiency, safety and long life of valves.
