Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball valves, in particular to a line-sealed self-cleaning track ball valve. Background Art

[0002] The orbital ball valve uses the inclined surface at the bottom of the valve stem and the spiral groove to achieve the tilting and rotation of the ball. When the valve is opened, the ball tilts away from the valve seat, and the fluid in the pipeline passes through the valve evenly along the surface of the ball, reducing the local erosion and corrosion of the valve seat by the high-speed fluid. Finally, the ball rotates to the fully open position. When the valve is closed, the ball relies on the mechanical wedging force of the inclined surface of the valve stem to act on the valve seat, generating the required sealing pressure ratio to ensure reliable sealing. The sealing pressure ratio can be adjusted with the changes in fluid erosion, corrosion degree and working pressure, thereby extending the service life of the ball valve.

[0003] However, conventional track ball valves are generally sealed on one side. If there are slight impurities in the medium, the sealing surface may leak easily. For example, a Chinese patent with announcement number CN204900912U discloses a track ball valve, which includes a valve body, a valve cover connected to the valve body, a medium inlet channel, a medium outflow channel and a connecting cavity arranged on the valve body, a ball is arranged in the connecting cavity, a valve seat is arranged between the medium inlet channel or the medium outflow channel and the ball, a valve stem connected to the ball in linkage with the valve cover is arranged, a driving source for driving the valve stem is arranged at the other end of the valve stem relative to the end connected to the ball in linkage with the valve cover, a guide rod matching the valve stem is arranged on the valve cover, a slide groove for sliding the guide rod is arranged on the valve stem, a placement cavity for placing the guide rod and having an installation opening is opened on the valve cover, a bearing is sleeved on the outer circumference of the guide rod, a sealing cover is arranged at the installation opening of the valve cover, and a bearing lubrication mechanism is mounted on the sealing cover.

[0004] Although this track ball valve provides a track ball valve that is easy to open or close, has a long service life of the guide rod, and has a simple structure, this track ball valve is prone to the above-mentioned problems during long-term use. Utility Model Content

At the same time, the self-cleaning function also expands the application scenarios of the track ball valve.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A line-sealed self-cleaning track ball valve, characterized in that it comprises a valve body, an auxiliary valve body flange is installed on the outside of the valve body, a bracket is fixedly installed on the upper end of the valve body, a mounting step is provided inside the auxiliary valve body flange, a valve seat is installed on the mounting step, a valve seat pressing ring for pressing the valve cover is provided on the outer end of the valve seat, a lower valve stem is installed inside the lower half of the auxiliary valve body flange through a first bearing, and an upper valve stem is installed inside the upper half of the auxiliary valve body flange and the bracket through a second bearing;

The valve core connectors are installed in the sliding grooves, and the two groups of valve cores are respectively installed at the front and rear positions of the upper connecting block of the sphere and the lower connecting block of the sphere.

[0010] Furthermore, a valve seat groove is formed on the surface of the valve seat, and an O-ring is sleeved and installed in the valve seat groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a bottom flange sealedly connected to the valve body is provided at the lower end of the valve body, and a bottom flange gasket is pressed between the bottom flange and the valve body.

[0017] ②The special structural design of the valve core affects the way the sealing surface between the valve core and the valve seat is formed. When the valve core opens and closes, the impurities and crystals on the surface of the valve seat can be scraped off to achieve the self-cleaning effect of the track ball valve. The addition of this self-cleaning function not only does not cause the track ball valve to lose its sealing performance, but further improves the sealing effect and greatly increases its service life.

A spring 9 is also embedded and installed at the bottom of the valve seat 10. One end of the spring 9 is pressed against the side wall of the auxiliary valve body flange 5, and the other end is pressed against the valve seat 10 in the opposite direction. When used in conjunction with the valve seat pressure ring 7, the two exert opposite forces on the valve seat 10 to ensure that the installation position of the valve seat 10 will not loosen, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0029] A spherical valve core assembly is installed inside the auxiliary valve body flange 5. The spherical valve core assembly is installed at a position between the upper valve stem 16 and the lower valve stem 6. The spherical valve core assembly specifically includes a pair of valve cores 11, a spherical lower connecting block 8 and a spherical upper connecting block 12. The paired valve cores 11, the spherical lower connecting block 8 and the spherical upper connecting block 12 form a complete spherical structure. Limit blocks 23 are fixedly installed between the valve cores 11. The spacing of the limit blocks 23 needs to be adjusted according to the position of the valve cores 11. The paired valve cores 11 are installed on the spherical upper connecting block 12 and the spherical lower connecting block 8. Protruding blade-type sealing blocks 51 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the valve core 11, so that the contact surface between the valve core 11 and the valve seat 10 forms a self-cleaning sealing surface.
