Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball valves, and more specifically to a residue-free three-way ball valve. Background Technique

[0002] Three-way ball valves are used for the diversion, confluence and flow direction switching of media in pipelines. Most of the three-way ball valves in the prior art are T-shaped three-way ball valves with the publication number of CN202188168U. The rotation of the ball is realized by the rotation of the valve stem, so as to realize the flow of the medium in different directions. However, there is a gap between the ball and the valve body. When the medium flows, the joint between the ball and the valve seat is tight, which easily causes the medium to enter and remain between the ball and the valve body, resulting in corrosion of the outer side of the ball and the inner wall of the valve body. In addition, when the medium stops flowing, there will also be medium remaining inside the ball, thus causing corrosion inside the ball and reducing the service life of the ball valve.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0029] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, a residue-free three-way ball valve includes a valve body 1. A ball 2 is provided inside the valve body 1. An upper valve cover 9 and a lower valve cover 8 are respectively fixedly provided at the upper and lower ends of the valve body 1 through bolts. A main flow hole 202 penetrates through the ball 2. A secondary flow hole 201 communicates with one side of the main flow hole 202. Both ends of the main flow hole 202 and the secondary flow hole 201 are in a flared shape. The inside of the main flow hole 202 is low and the outside is high, while the inside of the secondary flow hole 201 is high and the outside is low. Flow channels 101 are fixedly provided at the positions of the valve body 1 corresponding to both ends of the main flow hole 202 and the secondary flow hole 201. A sealing sleeve valve seat 3 is sleeved outside the valve body 1. Intermediate holes 301 communicate with the positions of the sealing sleeve valve seat 3 corresponding to both ends of the main flow hole 202 and the secondary flow hole 201. The intermediate holes 301 and the corresponding flow channels 101 form a medium channel. The medium channel is in a flared shape. The diameter of the intermediate holes 301 is smaller than the diameter of the outside of the flow channels 101. Both ends of the main flow hole 202 and the ports of the secondary flow hole 201 are matched with the corresponding intermediate holes 301. On one side of the valve body 1 in contact with the sealing sleeve valve seat 3, a number of embedded grooves 5 are provided, and elastic fixing structures are provided in the embedded grooves 5.

[0030] Through the above settings, the settings of the sealing sleeve valve seat 3 and the elastic fixing structure of the present invention make the ball 2 and the valve body 1 closely fit with the sealing sleeve valve seat 3 respectively, and there are no gaps between the ball 2 and the valve body 1, which can effectively prevent the medium from leaking and staying between the ball 2 and the valve body 1, playing a role in preventing the medium from corroding the ball 2 and the valve body 1, effectively extending the service life of the present invention, and further strengthening the sealing performance between the sealing sleeve valve seat 3 and the ball 2; both ends of the main flow hole 202 and the secondary flow hole 201 of the present invention are in a flared shape, making both ends of the main flow hole 202 the high points and the port of the secondary flow hole 201 the low point. When the medium stops flowing, the medium in the ball 2 will flow to the secondary flow hole 201 and be discharged, which can effectively prevent the medium from remaining in the ball 2. The setting that the medium channel is in a flared shape makes the central hole the high point and the flow channel 101 the low point, and the medium will flow towards the flow channel 101 along its inclination, thereby preventing the medium from remaining in the central hole and the flow channel 101, effectively preventing the ball 2, the valve body 1, and the sealing sleeve valve seat 3 from being corroded, and improving the service life of the present invention.

[0031] As Figure 1 As shown, a valve stem 4 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the ball 2. The upper end of the valve stem 4 passes through the upper valve cover 9 and is fixedly connected to a handle 11. A set screw 7 is provided at the center of the lower valve cover 8. The set screw 7 is circumferentially positioned and connected to the lower end of the ball 2. A protective cover is provided outside the set screw 7; on the inner sides of the upper and lower ends of the valve body 1 in contact with the upper valve cover 9 and the lower valve cover 8 respectively, a first sealing ring 13 is embedded; on one side of the valve stem 4 in contact with the upper valve cover 9, a number of embedded ring grooves 401 are provided, and a second sealing ring 12 is provided in the embedded ring grooves 401.

[0032] With the above settings, the valve stem 4, the setscrew 7, and the handle 11 of the present utility model are arranged such that when the handle 11 is rotated, the rotation of the sphere 2 can be controlled to achieve the switching of the flow direction of the medium, as well as the splitting and merging of the flow; the setting of the first sealing ring 13 of the present utility model strengthens the sealing performance between the valve body 1, the upper valve cover 9, and the lower valve cover 8, and can effectively prevent the leakage of the medium; the setting of the second sealing ring 12 of the present utility model strengthens the sealing performance between the valve stem 4 and the upper valve cover 9, and can effectively prevent the leakage of the medium.

[0033] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the elastic fixing structure includes a high-elastic spring 10 and a push plate 6. One side of the high-elastic spring 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the embedded groove 5, and the other end of the high-elastic spring 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 6. The side of the push plate 6 away from the high-elastic spring 10 abuts against the position corresponding to the sealing sleeve valve seat 3; both ends of the embedded groove 5 are provided with sliding grooves 501 communicating with each other, and corresponding to the sliding grooves 501 on the side of the push plate 6 close to the high-elastic spring 10, sliding blocks 601 are fixedly provided, and the sliding blocks 601 are clamped in the corresponding sliding grooves 501.

[0034] With the above settings, the high-elastic spring 10 and the push plate 6 of the present utility model are arranged such that the elastic force of the high-elastic spring 10 always pushes the push plate 6 to squeeze against the sealing sleeve valve seat 3, so that the sealing sleeve valve seat 3 is in close contact with the sphere 2, strengthening the sealing performance between the sealing sleeve valve seat 3 and the sphere 2, and can effectively prevent the leakage of the medium; the setting of the sliding blocks 601 and the sliding grooves 501 of the present utility model can effectively prevent the push plate 6 from disengaging from the embedded groove 5.

[0035] Working principle: When the medium flows in from point B and flows towards points D and C, it is only necessary to rotate the sphere 2 so that the main flow hole 202 corresponds to points B and D, and the secondary flow hole 201 corresponds to point C. At this time, the medium will flow to points D and C. When the medium stops flowing, the impact force weakens, and the medium in each flow channel 101 will flow out along its inclination and will not stay in the flow channel 101. The medium in the sphere 2 will flow to the center of the main flow hole 202 along the inclination of the main flow hole 202, and then flow out through the secondary flow hole 201 along the inclination of the secondary flow hole 201, so that the medium will not stay in the sphere 2, effectively preventing the corrosion of the flow channel 101 and the sphere 2 by the medium. When splitting is required and the medium needs to flow from point B to point C or from point C to point B, it is only necessary to rotate the sphere 2 so that one end of the main flow hole 202 is aligned with point C and the other end is sealed, and the secondary flow hole 201 is aligned with point B. When it is required to flow from point D to point C or from point C to point D, the same can be obtained by the above method. The installation method of the ball valve of the present utility model and the basic usage method of the ball valve are all disclosed in the prior art, so this application will not elaborate too much.

[0036] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the concept of the present utility model belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, several improvements and refinements made without departing from the principle of the present utility model should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present utility model.
