The ball valve is mainly used for cutting, distributing and changing the flow direction of the medium in the pipeline. It is suitable for use as a switch and a cut-off valve. The ball valve is widely used in industries such as petroleum refining, long-distance pipelines, chemical industry, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, electric power, municipal administration, and steel.

[0003] At present, the valve seat and the ball of the existing ball valve are in surface contact. After repeated opening and closing, it is inevitable that the valve seat with a sealing function will be pressed and worn, which not only reduces the sealing performance of the ball valve, but also makes it difficult to replace the valve seat.

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a compensation-adjustable ball valve, including a valve body 1, a circular channel 101 and a spherical chamber 102 are arranged in the valve body 1, the spherical chamber 102 is arranged in the middle of the channel and communicates with it, and card slots 102a are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the spherical chamber 102;

[0025] An opening and closing member 2, including a sphere 201 arranged in the spherical chamber 102 and a valve stem 202 passing through the valve body 1 and located above the sphere 201, one end of the valve stem 202 is connected to the sphere 201, and a rotating handle 203 is arranged at the other end of the valve stem 202;

[0026] A valve seat 3, including a sealing ring 301 and a plurality of elastic pieces 302 arranged outside the sealing ring 301, the sealing ring 301 and the elastic pieces 302 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sphere 201, one end of the elastic piece 302 is installed on the sealing ring 301, and the other end of the elastic piece 302 is located in the card slot 102a.

[0027] In this embodiment, the card slot 102a is located at the junction of the spherical chamber 102 and the circular channel 101, and a fillet 103 is arranged between the card slot 102a and the circular channel 101, so that the circular channel 101 and the sealing ring 301 are in arc contact to reduce friction;

[0028] Specifically, the card slot 102a is a ring structure, the cross section of the card slot 102a is an L-shaped groove, and the elastic piece 302 abuts against the L-shaped corner of the card slot 102a. At this time, the elastic piece 302 is bent into an arc shape and has a certain elasticity. According to the loss of the sealing ring 301, the elastic piece 302 will gradually elastically recover to a straight state, and the end of the elastic piece 302 slides down along the card slot 102a and pushes the sealing ring 301 to move.

[0029] In this embodiment, both the inner side and the outer side of the sealing ring 301 are arc structures, both ends of the sealing ring 301 are circular surface structures, and the thickness of the sealing ring 301 gradually decreases from the outside to the inside;

[0030] It should be noted that both ends of the sealing ring 301 with a circular surface structure are streamlined and more smooth and practical. The sealing ring 301 has a structure with a thicker outer part and a narrower inner part. When the sealing ring 301 is worn, the elastic piece 302 can be used to push the sealing ring 301 to move, and the sealing ring 301 can be tightly plugged into the gap between the sphere 201 and the circular channel 101 to ensure the sealing performance.

[0031] Specifically, the inner side surface of the sealing ring 301 is in contact with the sphere 201, and the outer side surface of the sealing ring 301 is in contact with the rounded corner 103 of the card slot 102a, so that the sealing ring 301 can seal the gap between the sphere 201 and the circular channel 101.

[0032] An insertion slot 301a is also provided on the outer side surface of the sealing ring 301, and the insertion slot 301a is of an annular structure, and the elastic piece 302 is inserted into the insertion slot 301a of the sealing ring 301.

[0033] In this embodiment, the number of elastic pieces 302 provided on the outer side of the sealing ring 301 is 2 - 8, and the elastic pieces 302 are evenly distributed in an annular array. Specifically, when implemented, the number of elastic pieces 302 is set to 4, which provides sufficient thrust for the sealing ring 301. When the elastic piece 302 is located in the card slot 102a, it is arc-shaped and has a tendency to elastically recover to a straight surface. The elastic recovery performance of the elastic piece 302 is used to provide thrust compensation adjustment for the sealing ring 301, so that the sealing ring 301 can be tightly plugged into the gap between the sphere 201 and the circular channel 101.

[0034] In summary, after the ball valve repeatedly opens and closes and wears the sealing ring, the elastic piece is used to push the sealing ring for compensation adjustment, so that the sealing ring can be tightly plugged into the gap between the sphere and the circular channel for sealing. Not only does it not need to replace the worn valve seat, but also the sealing performance of the ball valve is ensured.

[0035] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claimed rights.
