Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of valves and relates to a ball valve with a check function. Background Art

[0002] A centrifugal pump works by using the rotation of an impeller to cause centrifugal motion of water. Before starting the pump, the pump casing and the suction pipe must be filled with water, and then the motor is started, causing the pump shaft to drive the impeller and water to rotate at a high speed. The water undergoes centrifugal motion and is thrown towards the outer edge of the impeller, flowing into the pressure water pipeline of the pump through the flow channel of the volute pump casing.

[0003] In a centrifugal pump system, ball valves and check valves are usually used. The ball valve and the check valve are connected by a joint to control the flow rate and prevent liquid backflow.

[0004] However, in the way of connecting the ball valve and the check valve by a joint, the connection part of the joint is prone to leakage, reducing the sealing reliability of the overall system. Utility Model Content

Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0030] The following further elaborates on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-3 drawings.

[0031] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, the ball valve includes a valve body 1. The valve body 1 is provided with a water inlet 11, a water outlet 12, and a channel 13 located between the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12. Both the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 are communicated with the channel 13.

[0032] In this embodiment, the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 are coaxial, and the channel 13 is also linear.

[0033] As another solution, the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 may also be arranged non-coaxially, such as vertically distributed, and the shape of the channel 13 may also be adaptively changed.

[0034] Preferably, quick-release chucks 14 are provided at both the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 of the valve body 1. Sealing grooves 141 are provided on the disc surfaces of the quick-release chucks 14 to improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0035] Installation holes 15 for installing external components are provided on the outer wall of the valve body 1. The installation holes 15 are threaded and communicate with the channel 13 of the valve body 1, which facilitates the installation of external components such as sensors without the need to drill additional holes in the pipeline of the water pump system or add pipelines containing sensors.

[0036] Such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a spherical valve core 21 for adjusting the liquid flow rate in the channel 13 is movably arranged in the channel 13.

[0037] Specifically, a sealing portion cooperating with the spherical valve core 21 is also provided in the channel 13. The spherical valve core 21 is connected to a valve rod 22. The outer end of the valve rod 22 extends outside the valve body 1 and is connected to a handle 23.

[0038] Preferably, the spherical valve core 21 is provided with a linear through hole 211 for liquid to pass through. When the handle 23 swings 90 degrees, the spherical valve core 21 can be driven to rotate 90 degrees to achieve the adjustment of the liquid flow rate and the on / off of the liquid in the channel 13.

[0039] Such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a check valve assembly 3 is also provided in the channel 13. The check valve assembly 3 is located between the spherical valve core 21 and the water inlet 11 and is used to block the reverse flow of the liquid in the channel 13 to the water inlet 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, the check valve assembly 3 includes a check valve core 31, an installation bracket 32, an installation seat 33, a sealing seat 34 and an elastic member 35. The installation seat 33 is arranged on the inner wall of the channel 13. Preferably, the installation seat 33 is annular. An annular protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the channel 13. One end of the installation seat 33 close to the water inlet 11 abuts against the annular protrusion. The sealing seat 34 is arranged on the installation seat 33. In this embodiment, the installation seat 33 is also annular and is arranged on the shoulder on the inner wall of the installation seat 33. The installation bracket 32 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the channel 13 and / or the installation seat 33.

[0041] Preferably, the mounting bracket 32 is snap-connected to the mounting seat 33. For example, corresponding grooves are provided on both the mounting bracket 32 and the mounting seat 33 for snap connection. A clamping groove 16 is formed on the inner wall of the channel 13, and the mounting bracket 32 is provided with a boss 321 that is snap-connected to the clamping groove 16. The mounting bracket 32 is connected to the valve body 1 through the cooperation of the boss 321 and the clamping groove 16, reducing the damage to the valve body 1 during maintenance.

[0042] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, the check valve core 31 is arranged on the mounting bracket 32 and can move along the central line direction of the channel 13. An elastic member 35 is arranged between the check valve core 31 and the mounting bracket 32 to provide a thrust force to the check valve core 31 so as to abut against the sealing seat 34 to form a seal.

[0043] Preferably, the mounting bracket 32 is provided with a guiding hole 322 along the central line direction of the channel 13. The check valve core 31 includes a valve core body 311 and a guiding rod 312. The guiding rod 312 is slidably connected to the guiding hole 322, and the valve core body 311 is fixedly connected to the guiding rod 312.

[0044] Specifically, the mounting bracket 32 has a guiding tube 313, the guiding hole 322 is opened at the center of the guiding tube 313. The elastic member 35 includes a compression spring, the compression spring is sleeved on the guiding tube 313, one end of the compression spring abuts against the mounting bracket 32, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the check valve core 31. The compression spring can provide a thrust force to the check valve core 31 to abut against the sealing seat 34.

[0045] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] As Figure 2 shown, when the ball valve is closed, the check valve core 31 is reset under the action of the elastic member 35 and seals with the sealing seat 34, preventing the liquid in the pipeline from flowing back to the water inlet 11 of the valve body 1.

[0047] As Figure 3 shown, when the ball valve is opened, the liquid flows from the water inlet 11 of the valve body 1 to the water outlet 12, and the pressure of the liquid can push the check valve core 31 away from the sealing seat 34;

[0048] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application. The protection scope of this application is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
