AI Technical Summary
Most of the seals between the valve disc and the valve seat support ring of the existing ultra-low temperature fully welded ball valves are sealed with graphite rings. After the graphite ring wears, the sealing property is reduced or even failed, resulting in poor sealing property.
A combined sealing structure of double-layer corrugated pipe and V-lip ring is adopted, where the double-layer corrugated pipe is responsible for the main seal, V-lip ring is responsible for the secondary seal, and a lubricating mechanism is provided between the valve cover and the valve stem to reduce wear.
Improves the sealing effect, ensuring that the V-lip ring can still ensure sealing even if the double-layer bellows are damaged, and reduces stem wear and extends service life through the lubrication mechanism.

Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball valves, in particular to a cryogenic fully welded ball valve with good sealing performance. Background Art
[0002] Cryogenic fully welded ball valves are applicable to the control and regulation of cryogenic media such as liquid nitrogen and liquid argon, and are widely used in pipeline systems under cryogenic conditions such as liquefied natural gas, liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon. The utility model patent with the publication number of CN204226712U discloses a cryogenic fully welded ball valve, which includes a valve body, a ball valve, a valve stem, a valve seat and a valve cover. A heat preservation pipe is sleeved outside the valve stem, and heat preservation materials are filled in the heat preservation pipe. The top end of the heat preservation pipe is fixedly connected with the valve cover, and the bottom end of the heat preservation pipe is fixedly connected with the valve seat through a support seat. The joints of the heat preservation pipe with the support seat and the valve cover are connected by surfacing welding; due to the setting of the heat preservation pipe, this cryogenic fully welded ball valve can prevent cold energy loss. At the same time, due to the use of full welding connection at each weld, the looseness and external leakage caused by bolt connection are avoided, and metal deformation can be prevented, thereby greatly improving the sealing performance. It can be used in an environment of -196°C - 120°C for a long time without causing seal failure, ensuring the effectiveness of the valve and having a long service life. However, most of the seals between the valve flap and the valve seat support ring of the existing cryogenic fully welded ball valves adopt graphite ring seals. Once the graphite ring wears, the sealing performance will drop to the lowest level or even fail. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Content of the Utility Model
