Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of floating ball valves, in particular to a high-pressure hard-sealed floating ball valve. Background Technique

[0002] A ball valve whose ball does not have a fixed shaft is called a floating ball valve, also known as a floating ball valve. The main feature of a floating ball valve is that the ball has no support shaft, and the ball is clamped by two valve seats and is in a "floating" state. It is mainly used for cutting, distributing and changing the flow direction of the medium in pipelines; floating ball valves are widely used, generally for industrial use, and are suitable for industries such as petrochemical, metallurgy, etc. and natural gas long-distance pipelines with severe corrosion such as hydrogen sulfide-containing media;

[0003] In the existing floating ball valve, when the valve is in the cut-off state, due to the existence of liquid pressure, a certain pressure will be exerted on the valve ball, resulting in a slight displacement of the valve ball, which is likely to cause the sealing effect to deteriorate. Moreover, the existing one-way floating ball valve only has a sealing component installed at the discharge end, and cannot ensure a good sealing effect. For this reason, we propose a high-pressure hard-sealed floating ball valve. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a high-pressure hard-sealed floating ball valve, which has a reliable floating sealing unit. When the valve ball is subjected to the pressure of the fluid, the valve ball deflects to one side, and the spring I on the corresponding side is compressed, providing a restoring force to the valve ball. The two springs I on both sides act together to enable the valve ball to always maintain a centering tendency, so that the sealing rings on both sides can be closely attached to the valve ball, ensuring a good sealing effect; the valve seat is used for the installation of the sealing ring, the telescopic rod is embedded in the installation groove inside the valve seat, and the telescopic rod is used for sleeving the spring II. Under the action of the spring II, the sealing rings on the left and right sides can be simultaneously and closely attached to the outside of the valve ball, effectively withstanding the internal high pressure, thereby further improving the tightness of the seal, and can effectively solve the problems in the background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-pressure hard-sealed floating ball valve, including a valve body and a floating sealing unit;

[0006] Valve body: A valve ball is installed inside, a fixed pipe flange is fixedly connected to the right side of the valve body, and a movable pipe flange is fixedly installed on the left side of the valve body;

[0007] Floating seal unit: It includes an installation chute, a limit block, an insertion block, a clamping plate, a first spring and an installation slide rod. A horizontal installation chute is provided in the middle of the upper end of the valve ball. The cross-section of the installation chute is a convex-shaped structure. The limit block is a circular structure, and its upper end is clamped at the top of the inner wall of the valve body. The lower end of the limit block is fixedly connected with an insertion block, and the insertion block is inserted into the interior of the installation chute. Clamping plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of its lower end. The clamping plates are inserted into and slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the convex-shaped installation chute. Two installation slide rods are fixedly connected inside the installation chute. The two installation slide rods horizontally pass through the interior of the insertion block, and the installation slide rods and the insertion block maintain a sliding connection. A first spring is sleeved on each section of the installation slide rod located on both sides of the insertion block.

[0008] The valve body is used for the installation of the valve ball and other ball valve components. The valve ball controls the opening and closing of the valve driven by the valve stem. The upper end of the limit block is clamped at the top of the valve body from the inside, so as to prevent the upper valve stem from flying out under the pressure of water. The insertion block at the lower end of the limit block is inserted into the installation chute. The clamping plates on both sides can clamp the insertion block inside the installation chute and enable the valve ball to slide horizontally relative to the insertion block. The installation slide rods are used for the installation of the first springs on both sides. When the valve ball is subjected to the pressure of the fluid, the valve ball deflects to one side, and the first spring on the corresponding side is compressed, providing a restoring force to the valve ball. The first springs on both sides act together to enable the valve ball to always maintain a tendency to be centered, so that the sealing rings on both sides can be closely attached to the valve ball, ensuring a good sealing effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the floating seal unit further includes a valve seat, an installation groove, a telescopic rod, a second spring and a sealing ring. Annular valve seats are fixedly connected to the ends of the movable pipe flange and the fixed pipe flange extending into the valve body. An annular installation groove is provided inside the valve seat. Six telescopic rods are fixedly connected in a circumferential array inside the installation groove. A second spring is sleeved on the outside of each telescopic rod. The outer ends of the telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the side of the sealing ring. The sealing ring is slidably connected to the port of the installation groove, and the side of the sealing ring close to the valve ball is an arc-shaped fitting surface. The valve seat is used for the installation of the sealing ring. The telescopic rods are embedded in the installation groove inside the valve seat. The telescopic rods are used for sleeving the second springs. Under the action of the second springs, the sealing rings on the left and right sides can be simultaneously closely attached to the outside of the valve ball, effectively withstanding the internal high pressure, thereby further improving the tightness of the seal.

[0010] Furthermore, it further includes a valve stem, a plug connector and a sleeve. A sleeve is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the valve body. A vertical valve stem is arranged inside the sleeve. The lower end of the valve stem is fixedly connected to the center position of the upper end of the limit block. A square plug connector is fixedly connected to the upper end of the valve stem. The sleeve is used for the installation of the valve stem and the valve cover sealing assembly. The square plug connector at the upper end of the valve stem can prevent relative rotation.

[0011] Further, it also includes a gasket and a threaded gland. A gasket is provided at a lower position inside the sleeve. A threaded gland is screwed and connected at the middle position inside the sleeve, and the lower end of the threaded gland presses on the upper side of the gasket. The gasket is used to achieve a sealing effect between the valve stem, the sleeve and the valve body. The threaded gland is screwed inside the sleeve to press and fix the gasket.

[0012] Further, it also includes a connection cover, a handle and a pin. The insertion joint at the upper end of the valve stem is inserted into the lower end of the connection cover, and the upper end of the connection cover is fixedly connected with the handle through the pin. The connection cover is used for the connection between the handle and the valve stem, and the pin fixes the handle on the upper side of the connection cover.

[0013] Further, it also includes bolt fasteners. One end of the movable pipe flange close to the valve body is fixedly connected with a flange plate having the same size as the left port of the valve body, and this flange plate is fixedly connected with the flange plate at the left end of the valve body through bolt fasteners. The bolt fasteners are used for the fixed connection between the movable pipe flange and the valve body, and facilitate the disassembly of the movable pipe flange for the installation of the internal parts of the ball valve and the maintenance of the inside of the ball valve.
