Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball valves, and particularly relates to a clamping connection structure of a ball valve. Background Technique
[0002] A ball valve is a valve in which the closing member (ball) is driven by a valve stem and rotates around the axis of the ball valve. It can be used for the regulation and control of fluids. The hard-sealed V-type ball valve has a very strong shearing force between its V-type ball core and the metal valve seat with surfacing hard alloy, and is especially suitable for media containing fibers, tiny solid particles, etc. The multi-way ball valve can not only flexibly control the confluence, diversion, and flow direction switching of the medium on the pipeline, but also close any channel to connect the other two channels. The ball valve is divided into pneumatic ball valves, electric ball valves, and manual ball valves according to the driving mode, and 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] However, with long-term use, traditional ball valves are prone to leakage, resulting in poor sealing performance of the ball valves. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a clamping connection structure of a ball valve to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A clamping connection structure of a ball valve, including a valve body, a valve seat, a ball, a valve stem, a sealing component, and a limiting component. The limiting component is used to prevent the valve stem from rotating by mistake. The sealing component includes a support ring, a sealing ring, a valve stem sleeve, and a gasket. A support ring is arranged at the lower end of the valve seat, and the lower end of the support ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the valve body. A valve stem sleeve is arranged on the outer wall of the valve stem, and a sealing ring is arranged between the valve stem sleeve and the valve stem. A gasket is also arranged between the upper inner wall of the valve stem sleeve and the valve stem.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment: The sealing ring is in the shape of an O-ring, and the gasket is made of a PTFE gasket.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment: The upper end of the valve body is connected to the valve seat through a support ring. The lower end of the valve stem is rotatably arranged in the valve body, and a ball is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the valve stem. The ball is rotatably arranged in the valve body and is movably arranged with the valve seat.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment: The limiting member includes a handle, a chute, a first clamping groove, a clamping post and a reinforcement member. Handles are rotatably connected to both sides of the valve stem. A chute is provided inside the handle. A clamping post is slidably connected inside the chute. A first clamping groove matching the clamping post is provided on the wall of the valve stem. A reinforcement member is provided between the clamping post and the inner wall of the chute for firmly connecting the handle and the valve stem.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment: The reinforcement member includes a clamping block, a second clamping groove and a sliding plate. Two symmetrically distributed sliding plates are slidably connected inside the clamping post. A plurality of second clamping grooves are equidistantly distributed on the inner wall of the handle. A spherical clamping block is rotatably connected to one end of the sliding plate close to the second clamping groove.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment: A return spring is fixedly connected between the sliding plate and the inner wall of the clamping post.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present utility model are as follows:
[0012] Through the settings of the valve body, valve seat, sphere, valve stem and sealing assembly, the present utility model not only increases the firmness between the valve stem and the valve body, but also increases the firmness between the sphere and the valve body, thereby greatly increasing the overall sealing performance of the device, avoiding poor sealing performance caused by long-term use of the device and affecting the service life of the device. Also, through the detachable connection between the handle and the valve stem, it is not only convenient to rotate the valve stem, but also when the valve stem is not rotated, the handle and the valve stem are only rotatably connected. In this state, compared with the traditional setting where the handle and the valve stem are integrally formed, the valve stem of this device will not rotate even if the handle is accidentally touched, preventing misoperation of the ball valve.
