[0002] A ball valve is a valve in which a closing member (ball) is driven by a valve stem and rotates around the axis of the ball valve.
[0003] At present, when a traditional ball valve is in use, there is no preloading load at its packing part, which easily leads to external leakage at the packing part of the ball valve. Moreover, with the extension of the service time and continuous reciprocating opening and closing, the wear of the packing part of the ball valve increases, further increasing the risk of external leakage at the packing part of the ball valve. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to improve the sealing performance of the packing part of the ball valve and reduce the risk of external leakage at the packing part of the ball valve, the utility model provides a preloaded ball valve, which applies pressure to the disc spring by using a first nut, and the disc spring forms a pre-tightening force, so that the pressure ring squeezes the packing, enabling the packing to form a preloading load, thereby improving the sealing effect and sealing performance between the packing and the valve stem and the valve body.
[0005] A preloaded ball valve provided by the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:
[0006] A preloaded ball valve includes:

Detailed Embodiments
[0027] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0028] An embodiment of the present utility model discloses a preloaded load ball valve.
[0029] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the preloaded load ball valve includes a valve body 11, a ball 12, a valve stem 13, a packing 14, a gland 15, a disc spring 16, a first nut 17, a handle 18, and a second nut 19.
[0030] The ball 12 is arranged inside the valve body 11. By rotation, the ball 12 can control the on-off inside the valve body 11. The valve stem 13 is vertically inserted through the valve body 11, and the valve stem 13 is clamped with the valve body 11. In order to improve the sealing performance at the clamping position between the valve stem 13 and the valve body 11, an annular sealing ring 20 is sleeved on the valve stem 13. The annular sealing ring 20 is located between the valve stem 13 and the valve body 11 and at the clamping position between the valve stem 13 and the valve body 11. The annular sealing ring 20 seals the clamping position between the valve stem 13 and the valve body 11.
[0031] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the bottom of the valve body 11 is inserted through or plugged into the ball 12. Specifically, a rectangular hole or a rectangular groove is provided at the top of the ball 12, and the bottom of the valve stem 13 is located in the rectangular hole or the rectangular groove. By rotating the valve stem 13, the bottom of the valve stem 13 can drive the ball 12 to rotate, thereby controlling the on-off of the valve body 11.
[0032] The packing 14 is filled between the valve stem 13 and the valve body 11, and the packing 14 is located above the annular sealing ring 20. The packing 14 is used to block the gap between the valve stem 13 and the valve body 11 and improve the sealing performance between the valve stem 13 and the valve body 11.
[0033] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the gland 15 is sleeved on the valve stem 13, and the gland 15 is located above the packing 14. The gland 15 compresses the packing 14.
[0034] The disc spring 16 is sleeved on the valve stem 13, and the disc spring 16 is located above the gland 15. The number of the disc springs 16 is two. The two disc springs 16 are arranged in a butt joint manner on the gland 15, and the two disc springs 16 jointly provide an elastic force.
[0035] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an external thread is formed on the outer wall of the upper half of the valve stem 13. The first nut 17 is threadedly connected to the external thread of the valve stem 13, and the first nut 17 is located above the two disc springs 16. By screwing the first nut 17, its height on the valve stem 13 is adjusted, so that the two disc springs 16 press the pressure ring 15 and provide a preload.
[0036] The handle 18 is sleeved on the valve stem 13, and the handle 18 is clamped with the upper half of the valve stem 13. The handle 18 is located above the first nut 17. By screwing the handle 18, the valve stem 13 can be driven to rotate.
[0037] The second nut 19 is threadedly connected to the valve stem 13, and the second nut 19 is located above the handle 18. The second nut 19 is used to fix the handle 18 on the valve stem 13 to prevent the handle 18 from coming out of the valve stem 13.
[0038] Further, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , when the user rotates the handle 18, in order to prevent the user from rotating too much, a limit pin 21 is also inserted on the valve body 11. The handle 18 can be divided into a limit part 181 and a grip part 182 which are connected to each other. Among them, the limit part 181 is sleeved on the valve stem 13, and the grip part 182 is located on the side of the limit part 181 away from the valve stem 13. The grip part 182 is used for the user to grip. The top position of the limit pin 21 is higher than the bottom position of the limit part 181. In this way, when the user rotates the handle 18, the limit pin 21 can limit the limit part 181 of the handle 18, avoiding the problem that the user rotates the handle 18 too much.
[0039] At the same time, after the handle 18 rotates in place, in order to prevent the handle 18 from being accidentally touched and opened or closed, a fixing hole 183 is opened on the limit part 181, and a positioning hole 111 is opened on the valve body 11. Among them, a positioning hole 111 can be set every ninety degrees. A fixing pin 22 can be inserted into the fixing hole 183 and the corresponding positioning hole 111. When in use, after the handle 18 rotates in place, the user can insert the fixing pin 22 into the fixing hole 183 and the corresponding positioning hole 111 to fix the handle 18.
[0040] When in use, by screwing the first nut 17, pressure is applied to the disc spring 16, so that the disc spring 16 applies pressure to the packing 14 between the valve stem 13 and the valve body 11, providing a preload for the packing 14, and thus improving the sealing effect and performance between the packing 14 and the valve stem 13 and the valve body 11.
[0041] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
