[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] The following reference Figures 1-3 is made to illustrate the present utility model:

[0024] Embodiment 1: A ball valve that is convenient for sealing connection with a pipeline, including a valve body 1. The two ends of the valve body 1 are tubular connection heads 2. This design of the tubular connection head increases the convenience and stability of docking with a water pipe. An internal thread is provided on the inner side wall of the connection head 2. The presence of the internal thread enables the ball valve to be tightly connected to the water pipe by screwing. An annular sealing ring 3 is provided on the inner side wall of the connection head 2. The inner diameter of the sealing ring 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the internal thread section of the connection head 2. The sealing ring 3 is located inside the internal thread section of the connection head 2. Such a layout makes it so that when connecting with a water pipe, the end of the water pipe will first contact the sealing ring 3. The surface of the sealing ring 3 facing the internal thread is the sealing surface. When the ball valve is tightly connected to the water pipe, the sealing surface will closely fit the outer wall of the water pipe to form an effective seal and prevent fluid from leaking from the connection.

[0025] Axially in the connection head 2, the sealing ring 3 and the internal thread are arranged at intervals. This interval arrangement has important functions and meanings. First of all, the existence of the interval provides an independent action area for the sealing ring 3, enabling it to fully exert its sealing performance when connecting with a water pipe without being interfered by the internal thread. When the water pipe is screwed into the connection head 2, the sealing ring 3 can evenly bear the pressure from the water pipe without being affected by the thread, thereby achieving a more reliable sealing effect.

[0026] Secondly, the interval arrangement also helps to clearly distinguish the thread connection area and the sealing area during the installation process. Operators can more accurately judge the screwing depth of the water pipe to ensure that while achieving an effective thread connection, the sealing ring 3 is closely attached to the water pipe.

[0027] On the inner side wall of the connector 2 between the sealing ring 3 and the internal thread, there is an inwardly concave annular sealing groove 4. An annular sealing ring 5 is arranged in the sealing groove 4. The cross-section of the sealing ring 5 is V-shaped, and the sealing ring 5 is arranged with an opening facing the sealing ring 3. This design has multiple advantages. The sealing ring 5 with a V-shaped cross-section can generate greater elastic deformation when being extruded, thus providing stronger sealing pressure. When the water pipe is screwed tightly with the connector 2, the sealing ring 5 will be compressed in the sealing groove 4, and its V-shaped structure makes the sealing contact area increase, enhancing the sealing effect.

[0028] The sealing ring 5 facing the sealing ring 3 works in cooperation with the sealing ring 3 to form a double-sealing guarantee. Even under high pressure or in harsh working conditions, it can effectively prevent fluid from leaking from the connection part.

[0029] The sealing groove 4 extends to be flush with the sealing surface, which means the depth of the sealing groove 4 reaches the position where the sealing surface of the sealing ring 3 is located, further enhancing the coherence and integrity of the overall sealing structure. An annular gasket 6 is arranged on the sealing surface. The gasket 6 and the sealing ring 5 are integrally arranged. The gasket 6 and the sealing ring 5 are provided with a connecting ring 7 connecting the two. The two ends of the connecting ring 7 are respectively connected to the edges of the annular gasket 6 and the sealing ring 5. When the ball valve is connected and tightened with the water pipe, the gasket 6 first comes into close contact with the end face of the water pipe, bearing the initial pressure and sealing function. As the pressure increases, if there is a leak in the seal between the gasket 6 and the water pipe, the pressure acts on the sealing ring 5, and the V-shaped sealing ring 5 can open up to form a seal. In this way, the sealing ring 5 forms a sealing fit with the connector and the water pipe.

[0030] When the water pipe 8 is threadedly connected to the connector 2, the end of the water pipe 8 abuts against the gasket 6 on the sealing ring 3 to form a sealing fit, effectively preventing fluid leakage.

[0031] Inside the valve body 1, there is a sphere and a valve seat. The sphere and the valve seat are in sealing fit. A valve stem for driving the sphere to rotate is arranged on the valve body 1.

[0032] A water pipe 8 is connected inside the connector 2. On the outer side wall of the water pipe 8, there are an external thread and a connection groove 9. The external thread is used for threaded connection with the internal thread on the inner side wall of the connector 2 to realize the fixed connection between the water pipe 8 and the ball valve. The connection groove 9 is located between the connection end of the water pipe 8 and the external thread. The connection groove 9 is arranged at an interval from the end of the water pipe 8. The water pipe 8 is threadedly connected to the connector 2, and the end of the water pipe 8 abuts against the gasket 6 on the sealing ring 3 for sealing fit. The connection groove 9 is arranged corresponding to the sealing groove 4. The sealing ring 5 is connected in the connection groove 9 and the sealing groove 4. When the leakage pressure acts on the sealing ring 5, the sealing ring 5 undergoes an opening deformation, and the opened sealing ring 5 closely adheres to the side walls of the connection groove 9 and the sealing groove 4 to form a sealing fit.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
