Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ball valves, and particularly belongs to a three-way ball valve with high stability. Background Technique

[0002] The three-way ball valve is one of the most common pipeline valves in ball valves, and is generally applied to the working conditions of switching, reversing, and dividing / converging of liquid media. Especially in the agricultural field, it is widely used in the fields of irrigation and liquid medicine and fertilizer transportation. It has the advantages of small fluid resistance, compact structure, and convenient operation.

[0003] In the existing valve technology, most valves are prone to problems with the gap between the valve body and the valve core after long-term use. As the valve is used for a longer time, the gap between the valve body and the valve core may gradually lose its tight fit due to various factors, such as wear during long-term use. This gap may cause fluid leakage. When there is a gap between the valve body and the valve core, the fluid will flow from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side through the gap, resulting in a pressure drop and affecting the working efficiency of the valve. At the same time, impurities and particulate matters in the fluid are also likely to enter the gap, further exacerbating the wear between the valve body and the valve core, forming a vicious cycle, thus seriously affecting the working efficiency and safety of the valve. In order to solve the gap problem between the sealing ring and the valve core.

[0004] Since the three-way ball valve is provided with three-sided channels for feeding, the valve core is continuously impacted by the three-sided channel openings, causing the valve core to be continuously squeezed in multiple directions between the non-channel part of the valve body, resulting in the valve core offset and leakage.
