DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Referring to Figure 1-2 as shown, the present utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable ball valve, comprising a main valve body 005, an intermediate valve body 002, a nut 013, a hollow bolt 014 and two moving valve bodies 001.

[0017] The following specifically describes its overall specific settings and functions.

[0018] In this embodiment: There are four axially distributed slide rails on the outer circle of the moving valve body 001. Two moving valve bodies 001 are respectively arranged at both ends of the main valve body 005. The two moving valve bodies 001 can slide arbitrarily along the axial direction of the ball valve. One end of the intermediate valve body 002 has an external thread, and the inner hole at the other end of the intermediate valve body 002 has four chutes. The chutes and the four slide rails on the outer circle of the moving valve body 001 are used in cooperation. There are two intermediate valve bodies 002, which are distributed at both ends of the main valve body 005. Both ends of the main valve body 005 are threaded holes, and the threaded holes are connected to the threaded ends of the intermediate valve body 002. A spherical valve core 007 capable of switching the medium is assembled in the middle of the main valve body 005. The two sides of the spherical valve core 007 use a second sealing ring 006 and a guide ring 008. There is a square hole on the spherical valve core 007, and a lever 012 is embedded in the square hole. The other end of the lever 012 is installed with a valve handle 009. The valve handle 009 is fastened by a nut 013. The lever 012 is fixed to the main valve body 005 by a hollow bolt 014. When the ball valve is in use, when the valve handle 009 is rotated, the spherical valve core 007 rotates accordingly, so as to play the role of switching the medium.

[0019] Specifically, the axial sliding of the moving valve body 001 is along the inner hole of the intermediate valve body 002. The slide rails on the outer circle of the moving valve body 001 are assembled in the chutes of the intermediate valve body 002. The cooperation between the slide rails and the chutes plays the role of axial guidance and rotation limit. A wear-resistant ring 003 and a second sealing ring 006 are arranged between the moving valve body 001 and the intermediate valve body 002. The moving valve bodies 001 are respectively arranged at both ends of the ball valve. Each moving valve body 001 at each end is nested in the intermediate valve body 002. The moving valve body 001 slides along the inner wall of the intermediate valve body 002. A wear-resistant ring 003 and a first sealing ring 004 are inlaid between the moving valve body 001 and the intermediate valve body 002. The wear-resistant ring 003 can reduce the metal friction between the moving valve body 001 and the intermediate valve body 002. There is a slide rail on the outer circle of the moving valve body 001 and a chute in the inner hole of the intermediate valve body 002. The slide rail is embedded in the chute so that the moving valve body 001 can be axially guided and prevented from rotating when sliding. The two sides of the spherical valve core 007 use a second sealing ring 006 and a guide ring 008. While ensuring the sealing performance of the ball valve, the spherical surface of the spherical valve core 007 has better support. Seals and additional guide rings 008 are installed on both sides of the spherical valve core 007. When the intermediate valve body 002 is screwed into the main valve body 005, the seals and guide rings 008 are tightly pressed on the spherical surface of the spherical valve core 007. The guide ring 008 can make the force on the spherical valve core 007 uniform. A second silica gel ring 011 is arranged between the nut 013 and the hollow bolt 014, and a first silica gel ring 010 is arranged between the hollow bolt 014 and the main valve body 005. The setting of the first silica gel ring 010 improves the tightness of the connection between the hollow bolt 014 and the main valve body 005, and the setting of the second silica gel ring 011 improves the tightness of the connection between the nut 013 and the hollow bolt 014.

[0020] Working principle: Since the length of the adjustable ball valve can be adjusted arbitrarily within the set range, when the installation dimensions between two pipelines are inconsistent, the same valve can be installed and used. When installing the valve, compared with the fixed length of other valves, the length of the adjustable ball valve can be adjusted smaller during installation and then stretched when placed between the two connecting pipelines. When disassembling the valve, especially for a ball valve connected by a threaded method, compared with other ball valves, as long as the adjustable ball valve is screwed, the valve will continuously contract and the length will become smaller during disassembly, and the disassembly can be completed when the thread is disconnected. The installation and disassembly are very convenient compared with other types of ball valves.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood through specific situations.
