[0076] The utility model relates to a valve 100, such as Figure 1 As shown, the valve 100 includes a valve body 1, a valve core 2, a drive assembly, a valve stem 5, an inner valve seat 6, an outer valve seat 7, a positioning ring 8, a plurality of sealing rings 9 of different specifications, a valve cover 101, a flange 102 and an anti-theft ring 103. The valve body 1 has a channel 11 extending along a horizontal axis, and the channel 11 runs through both ends of the valve body 1 along the horizontal axis, that is, the two ends of the channel 11 along the horizontal axis are open. The top surface of the valve body 1 is also provided with a valve stem hole 12 extending along the vertical axis, and the valve stem hole 12 extends to the channel 11 and communicates with the channel 11.
[0077] The valve core 2 is located in the channel 11 and can rotate about the vertical axis and has a slight movement component along the horizontal axis. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the valve core 2 of the ball valve is substantially in the form of a hollow ball, and has a sealing portion 21 and a flow channel 22, wherein the sealing portion 21 is a portion of the spherical shell of the hollow ball. The flow channel 22 runs through the valve core 2. When the valve 100 is open, the flow channel 22 of the valve core 2 extends in the same direction as the horizontal axis, and the flow channel 22 is connected to the channel 11 to facilitate the passage of fluid. When the valve is closed, the sealing portion 21 of the valve core 2 blocks the channel 11 to restrict the passage of fluid.
[0078] The top surface of the valve core 2 is provided with a groove 23 aligned with the valve stem hole 12. The groove 23 is generally cylindrical in shape and the side wall of the groove 23 forms two recesses 24 that are recessed radially outward. In addition, the side wall of the groove 23 is provided with an inner convex profile 25 that protrudes radially inward and a limiting protrusion 26. The inner convex profile 25 protrudes radially toward the side wall of the groove 23, and the limiting protrusion 26 also protrudes radially toward the groove 23 and is spaced circumferentially from the inner convex profile 25. The side wall of the groove 23 is also provided with an outer concave profile 27 that is recessed radially outward of the groove 23 and is located between the limiting protrusion 26 and the inner convex profile 25.
[0079] The drive assembly includes a driver 3 and a spring wire 4, wherein the driver 3 is roughly in the shape of a round pancake and is installed in the groove 23. The driver 3 is provided with a mounting hole 31 extending along the vertical axis. The mounting hole 31 passes through the top and bottom ends of the driver 3 and is aligned with the valve stem hole 12 in the vertical direction. Figure 3-5 In the illustrated embodiment, the valve stem hole 12 is a spline groove.
[0080] The radial outer side of the driver 3 is provided with a protruding outer convex profile 32, which protrudes from the radial outer side of the driver 3 and is located at the outer concave profile 27 of the groove 23 in the open state. In the closed state, the outer cam rotates to the inner convex profile 25 of the groove 23, thereby sealing and locking the valve core 2 and the channel 11.
[0081] The bottom wall of the driver 3 is provided with a first recessed area 33, which extends around the vertical axis to form an arc and is spaced apart from the outer convex contour 32. The top wall of the first recessed area 33 is also provided with a second recessed area 34 recessed upward, which is located radially outside the first recessed area 33 and is also roughly arc-shaped.
[0082] A limiting column 35 is further disposed on the top wall of the first recessed area 33 . The limiting column 35 is a column and is located radially inward of the first recessed area 33 . The height of the column does not exceed the bottom wall of the driver 3 .
[0083] The spring wire 4 has a certain elasticity and can bend when an external force is applied. It is generally made of steel wire. The spring wire 4 specifically includes a concave ring 41 and two torsion arms. The concave ring 41 is annular and sleeved outside the limiting column 35. The outer ends of the two torsion arms are located radially outside the driver 3. The spring wire 4 and the driver 3 can move relative to each other. In other embodiments, the concave ring 41 can also be in a spring shape and sleeved outside the limiting column 35, or the concave ring 41 and the limiting column 35 are not provided, and the spring wire 4 is directly limited to the driver 3 through several limiting members.
[0084] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the radial outer side of the driver 3 does not need to be provided with an outer convex profile 32, and accordingly, the side wall of the groove 23 does not have an inner convex profile 25 and a limiting protrusion 26 protruding radially inward. That is to say, the driver 3 drives the valve core to rotate by other means, and the spring wire 4 cooperates with the driver 3 to drive the valve core to rotate.
[0085] The top end of the valve stem 5 is located at the top of the valve body 1 and exceeds the top of the valve body 1 and is connected to an external handle. Turning the handle can cause the valve stem 5 to move in conjunction.
[0086] The bottom end of the valve stem 5 extends from the valve stem hole 12 to the mounting hole 31, and the middle part of the valve stem 5 is sealed and connected to the valve stem hole 12 through two sealing rings 9, and the bottom end of the valve stem 5 is a spline 51, which is adapted to the spline groove of the driver 3. This implementation can refer to patent CN103016776B and will not be repeated here.
[0087] The valve stem 5 can drive the driver to rotate and open or close the valve 100. When the valve is closed, the valve stem 5 drives the driver 3 to rotate relative to the spring wire 4 around the vertical axis at a preset angle and then drives the spring wire 4 to rotate synchronously, that is, the limit column rotates to the side of the concave ring away from the two torsion arms and then drives the concave ring to rotate synchronously. The outer ends of the two torsion arms gradually separate from the two pits 24 and abut against the side walls of the groove 23. The outer convex profile 32 abuts against the side walls of the groove 23 and drives the valve core 2 to rotate around the vertical axis to a preset position synchronously with the spring wire 4, and then rotates about 90°. The outer convex profile 32 moves along the inner convex profile 25 and makes the valve core 2 have a motion component along the horizontal axis.
[0088] When the valve 100 is opened, the valve stem 5 drives the driver 3 to rotate around the vertical axis, so that the outer convex profile 25 moves along the inner convex profile 25 and the valve core 2 has a movement component along the horizontal axis, and the two torsion arms gradually move to the two pits 24 and drive the valve core 2 to rotate, or the two torsion arms abut against the side walls of the groove 23 to drive the valve core 2 to rotate a certain angle and then move into the pit 24.
[0089] When the valve 100 is open, Figure 10-12 As shown, the outer convex contour 32 of the driver 3 is located at the outer concave contour 27 of the groove 23, the outer ends of the two torsion arms are respectively located in the two pits 24, and the flow channel 22 is aligned with the openings at both ends of the channel 11, so as to facilitate the flow of the fluid along the horizontal axis. When the valve 100 is closed, the valve stem 5 needs to be rotated to drive the driver 3 to rotate, and the limit column 35 moves into the concave ring 41 of the spring wire 4 and drives the concave ring 41 and the spring wire 4 to rotate as a whole. The two torsion arms of the spring wire 4 and the two pits 24 cooperate with each other, and the outer convex contour 32 and the inner wall of the groove 23 cooperate to drive the valve core to rotate. Continue to rotate the valve stem 5, as shown in FIG. Figure 13-15 As shown, the outer ends of the two torsion arms of the spring wire gradually move out of the pit 24 and abut against the side wall of the groove 23, and the outer convex profile 32 moves from the outer concave profile 27 to the inner convex profile 25 and moves along the inner convex profile 25, tilting the valve core 2 along the horizontal axis by a certain amount, so that the valve core 2 and the channel 11 are sealed and matched, and the valve 100 is closed.
[0090] When the valve 100 is opened, the valve stem 5 is rotated in the opposite direction. At this time, the valve stem 5 drives the driver 3 to rotate in the opposite direction around the vertical axis, and the outer convex contour 32 moves in the opposite direction along the inner convex contour 25 to the outer concave contour 27. The two torsion arms gradually move to the two pits and drive the valve core to rotate, so that the valve core 2 has a reverse movement component along the horizontal axis, and the sealing portion 21 of the valve core 2 and the channel of the valve body 1 are loosened. The valve stem 1 drives the driver 3 to drive the valve core to continue to reverse approximately 90°, and the flow channel 22 of the valve core 2 is connected to the channel 11 of the valve body 1, and the valve 100 is opened.
[0091] In one embodiment, when the valve 100 is opened, the driver 3 rotates around the vertical axis at a preset angle and then drives the spring wire 4 to rotate synchronously, that is, the driver 3 first rotates a certain angle relative to the spring wire 4, so that the limit post and the concave ring are separated from the two torsion arms and then drives the spring wire 4 to move synchronously. The limit post rotates relative to the concave ring to deviate from the side of the concave ring away from the two torsion arms and then drives the concave ring to rotate synchronously.
[0092] In one embodiment, when the valve is opened, the driver and the spring wire rotate synchronously and then rotate relative to the spring wire. That is, the driver 3 and the spring wire 4 rotate synchronously and then move relative to the spring wire 4, so that the limit column and the concave ring are spaced away from the two torsion arms.
[0093] In addition, regarding the specific shape of the outer convex profile 32, reference can be made to the shapes of the starting portion, the middle portion, and the ending portion in patent CN103016776B, which will not be described in detail. It should be understood that in other embodiments, the outer convex profile 32 can also be set to other shapes, as long as the outer convex profile 32 of the driver 3 can be easily moved to the radial inner side thereof and push the valve core to move along the horizontal axis, without limiting the specific shape of the inner convex profile 32.
[0094] As a preferred solution, the outer ends of the two torsion arms are bent at a preset angle to form an abutment section 44. Figure 2-4 In the embodiment shown, the outer ends of the two torsion arms are bent upward by approximately 90° to form a contact section 44. When the valve is opened, the contact sections 44 of the two torsion arms are respectively located in the two recesses 24. When the valve is closed, the contact sections 44 of the two torsion arms gradually separate from the two recesses and abut against the side walls of the groove. The contact section 44 can increase the friction and stability between the torsion arm and the side wall of the groove 23.
[0095] In some embodiments, one of the two torsion arms is a first torsion arm 42, and the other is a second torsion arm 43. The second torsion arm 43 is generally in a strip shape and extends in the tangent direction of the cylinder formed by the vertical axis. The inner end of the second torsion arm 43 is connected to the concave ring 41, and the outer end is bent to form the abutment section 44. The length of the first torsion arm 42 is slightly longer than that of the second torsion arm 43, and includes an arc segment 421 and a straight segment 422 connected to each other. The arc segment 421 is an arc segment extending around the vertical axis and connected to the concave ring 41. The inner end of the straight segment 422 is connected to the arc segment 421, and the outer end extends to the outside of the driver 3 and is bent to form the abutment section 44.
[0096] In order to fix the bending direction of the first torsion arm 42, the top wall of the first recessed area 33 is further provided with a first stopper 36, and the first stopper 36 is located at the radial outer side of the first torsion arm 42. Specifically, the first stopper 36 is located at the outer side of the inner end of the straight section 422, that is, the straight section 422 of the first torsion arm 42 is fixed between the first stopper 36 and the side wall of the groove 23.
[0097] In some embodiments, the top wall of the first recessed area 33 is further provided with a second stopper 37, which is located outside the recessed ring 41 and away from the spring wire 4 to prevent the recessed ring 41 from being separated from the stopper column 35. When the valve is opened, when the stopper column rotates relative to the recessed ring to a side of the recessed ring away from the two torsion arms, the second stopper abuts against the position of the recessed ring away from the torsion arms and drives the recessed ring to rotate together with the stopper column.
[0098] In some other embodiments, the top wall of the second recessed area 34 is further provided with a third limiting member 38 . The third limiting member 38 is tubular and sleeved outside the arc segment 421 of the first torsion arm 42 to fix the arc segment.
[0099] The top wall of the first recessed area 33 is further provided with a second recessed area 34 . The second recessed area 34 is substantially arc-shaped extending around a vertical axis and is located radially outside the first recessed area 33 , while the limiting column 35 is located radially inside the first recessed area 33 .
[0100] The first limiting member 36, the second limiting member 37 and the second limiting member 37 are all connected to the radial inner side of the first recessed area 33 and connected to the top wall of the first recessed area 33. The concave ring 41 is sleeved on the limiting column 35 and is also located at the radial inner side of the first limiting area. A portion of the second torsion arm 43 is located below the first recessed area 33, and another portion is located below the second recessed area 34. The arc segment 421 of the second torsion arm 43 is located at the radial inner side of the first recessed area 33, the inner end of the straight segment 422 is located at the radial inner side of the first recessed area 33, and the outer end is located below the second recessed area 34. The second recessed area 34 provides space for the two torsion arms to bend and deform.
[0101] As a preferred solution, the valve 100 further includes a metal sheet 28, such as Figure 1 As shown, the metal sheet 28 includes a first section 281 and a second section 282 connected to each other, wherein the first section 281 includes two recessed segments, the two recessed segments are arc segments with a certain curvature and respectively fit the inner walls of the two pits 24 .
[0102] The second section 282 includes several arc segments, and one of the arc segments is located between the two concave segments and is respectively connected to one end of the two concave segments, and the other two arc segments are respectively connected to the other two ends of the two concave segments.
[0103] After the valve is opened, the abutting sections 44 of the two torsion arms are respectively located in the first sections 281 of the metal sheet 28. When the valve is closed, the outer ends of the two torsion arms gradually separate from the first sections 281 of the two metal sheets 28 and abut against the second sections 282.
