[0002] Extra-large diameter all-welded ball valves usually refer to ball valves with relatively large diameters, which are used in pipeline systems to handle large-flow fluids or media. These extra-large diameter ball valves usually have diameters ranging from dozens of inches to even several meters, and are used to handle large-scale fluid transportation systems, such as natural gas pipelines, crude oil pipelines, water treatment systems, etc. The impact of the medium under high pressure or frequent valve operations will increase the wear of the valve seat, so that there will be liquid leakage after the valve is closed. At the same time, the valve body and the valve seat of the existing all-welded ball valve are integrated. In order to ensure the sealing performance of the pipeline, the whole valve needs to be replaced. However, due to the relatively large diameter of the extra-large diameter all-welded ball valve, the corresponding volume is large and the cost is relatively high, which increases the production cost during the overall replacement. In view of this, the utility model proposes a replacement structure for the seat of a sealed all-welded ball valve. Content of the Utility Model

[0032] Embodiment

[0033] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a replacement structure for the seat of a sealed fully welded ball valve proposed by the present utility model includes two groups of positioning rings 11 installed on the inner wall of the valve body 1. The two groups of positioning rings 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ball 2. At the same time, a sealing ring 3 is also arranged inside the positioning ring 11, and the positioning ring 11 is used to position the sealing ring 3. One side of the sealing ring 3 is in contact with the ball 2. The two groups of sealing rings 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ball 2. The sealing ring 3 is made of rubber material and is sealed after contacting the ball 2 to prevent liquid leakage.

[0034] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2-4, the above-mentioned sealing structure includes an extrusion assembly 4 installed on the side of the sealing ring 3 away from the sphere 2 for driving the sealing ring 3 to approach and press the sphere 2. The extrusion assembly 4 is detachably installed in the valve body 1, which is convenient to remove the extrusion assembly 4 to replace the sealing ring 3 and the extrusion assembly 4. The extrusion assembly 4 includes an installation groove 41, an installation ring 42, a connecting block 43, a fixing sleeve 44, a sliding rod 45, and a pushing plate 46. The installation groove 41 is opened in the valve body 1, and the installation ring 42 is installed in the installation groove 41. The cross-section of the installation ring 42 is a T-shaped structure, and the position of the installation ring 42 is fixed after installation. Multiple groups of connecting blocks 43 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the installation ring 42, and the multiple groups of connecting blocks 43 are distributed in a circular array. The fixing sleeve 44 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting block 43 away from the installation ring 42, and the fixing sleeve 44 is fixed to the inner side of the installation ring 42 through the connecting block 43. The sliding rod 45 is slidably connected in the fixing sleeve 44. One ends of the multiple groups of sliding rods 45 close to the sealing ring 3 are fixedly connected to a pushing plate 46, and the sliding rod 45 and the pushing plate 46 move synchronously. The extrusion assembly 4 further includes a spring 47, a positioning pin 48, and a limiting disc 49. The spring 47 sleeved on the outer circle of the sliding rod 45 is arranged between the fixing sleeve 44 and the pushing plate 46. The spring 47 releases elastic force to drive the pushing plate 46 away from the fixing sleeve 44, so that the pushing plate 46 pushes the sealing ring 3 to approach the sphere 2 to enhance the sealing performance. The positioning pin 48 is slidably connected in the fixing sleeve 44 and the sliding rod 45. The positioning pin 48 is used to fix the position of the sliding rod 45 during installation. After the installation ring 42 is installed, the positioning pin 48 is removed and the spring 47 releases elastic force. The limiting disc 49 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 45 away from the pushing plate 46. The limiting disc 49 is used for limiting to prevent the positioning pin 48 from accidentally falling off and the spring 47 releasing elastic force to drive the sliding rod 45 to leave the position of the fixing sleeve 44. The installation ring 42 is a circular ring composed of a first split ring 421, a second split ring 422, and a third split ring 423. Both ends of the first split ring 421 are provided with card slots 424. One end of the second split ring 422 close to the first split ring 421 is installed with a card block 425 corresponding to the card slot 424. One end of the second split ring 422 close to the third split ring 423 is also provided with a card slot 424. Both ends of the third split ring 423 are fixedly connected with card blocks 425, so that the first split ring 421, the second split ring 422, and the third split ring 423 can be sequentially installed into the valve body 1 and cooperate with each other. The pushing plate 46 is arranged in a circular ring composed of three-segment sectors. The pushing plate 46 corresponds to the three parts of the installation ring 42, and the installation is realized synchronously.

[0035] Further, as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the above sealing structure further includes a support ring 5 disposed inside the extrusion assembly 4 to support the entire extrusion assembly 4. The support ring 5 is installed inside the sealing ring 3, and multiple sets of push plates 46 are slidably engaged with the support ring 5 for supporting the push plates 46. A sealing gasket 51 is installed on the side of the support ring 5 away from the sphere 2. Both the sealing ring 3 and the sealing gasket 51 are made of rubber to prevent liquid from entering and corroding the components of the extrusion assembly 4. Multiple through holes 52 are formed in the support ring 5, and fixing blocks 53 are installed on the outer sides corresponding to the through holes 52. Screws 54 are inserted through the fixing blocks 53, and fixing seats 55 are threadedly connected to the screws 54. Multiple sets of fixing seats 55 are fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting ring 42, facilitating the connection of the support ring 5 and the mounting ring 42 into one body. At the same time, the support ring 5 supports the mounting ring 42 to ensure the stable position of the mounting ring 42. Rubber plugs 56 are also provided in the through holes 52 to prevent liquid from contacting and corroding the screws 54.

[0036] In this embodiment, when installing the sealing ring 3, the extrusion assembly 4, and the support ring 5, first, the sealing ring 3 is inserted into the valve body 1 so that one side of the sealing ring 3 fits against the sphere 2. Then, one side of the first split ring 421, the second split ring 422, and the third split ring 423 is placed into the valve body 1 and stuck at the installation groove 41 position. At this time, each positioning pin 48 is pulled out, so that the spring 47 releases elastic force to drive the push plate 46 away from the fixed sleeve 44. At this time, the push plate 46 pushes the sealing ring 3 closer to the sphere 2 to maintain good sealing performance. Then, the support ring 5 is installed into the valve body 1, and the outer side of the support ring 5 contacts the sealing ring 3 and the push plates 46. Rotate the support ring 5 so that the fixing blocks 53 on the support ring 5 correspond to the fixing seats 55 one by one, and insert the screws 54 through the fixing blocks 53 and threadedly connect them to the fixing seats 55. At this time, the support ring 5 supports the mounting ring 42. Finally, the rubber plugs 56 are inserted into the through holes 52 for sealing, completing the installation of the sealing ring 3, the extrusion assembly 4, and the support ring 5. At the same time, it is convenient to disassemble and replace when the sealing ring 3 is worn, reducing the production cost.

[0037] The above specific embodiments are merely an optional embodiment of the present invention. Based on the technical solution of the present invention and the relevant revelations of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
