[0034] In Embodiment 1: As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a valve seat assembly described in the present utility model includes a valve seat body 5 and a valve seat support 6. One end of the valve seat body 5 is connected to the valve seat support 6, and the other end of the valve seat body 5 abuts against a sphere body 1. The valve seat body 5 is used to slow down the acting force transmitted from the sphere body 1 to the valve seat support 6. The valve seat support 6 is used to connect the valve seat body 5 and a valve body 2. The valve seat support 6 is provided with a first groove 7 facing the valve body 2, and the first groove 7 keeps the valve seat support 6 spaced from the valve body 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, the valve seat body 5 further reduces the acting force of the sphere body 1 towards the valve body 2. At the same time, the contact between the valve seat body 5 and the sphere body 1 can effectively maintain the stability of the valve seat assembly 3 and the sphere body 1. The first groove 7 can effectively provide a displacement amount between the valve seat support 6 and the valve body 2. When the valve seat support 6 moves towards the valve body 2, it moves through the first groove 7, further reducing the acting force of the valve seat assembly 3 towards the valve body 2, and thus improving the service life of the valve body 2 and the valve seat support 6.

[0036] As a preferred implementation, on the basis of the above method, further, the valve seat support 6 is provided with a second groove 8 facing the valve body 2, and the spring member 4 is arranged in the second groove 8 and connected to the valve seat support 6.

The winding member 11 is used to reduce the acting force of the valve seat support 6 towards the valve body 2, and the sliding member 10 drives the winding member 11 to move synchronously with the valve seat support 6. With this structural arrangement, when the valve seat support 6 impacts the valve body 2, the sliding member 10 can effectively reduce the kinetic energy when the valve seat support 6 moves by moving synchronously through the valve seat support 6. The winding member 11 effectively reduces the acting force when the valve seat support 6 impacts the valve body 2. At the same time, the winding member 11 can effectively reduce the deformation amount when the valve seat support 6 impacts the valve body 2, and further improve the service life of the valve seat support 6 and the valve body 2.

[0038] Specifically, the sliding member 10 can be made of materials resistant to low temperature such as metal, and the winding member 11 can be made of materials with resilience.

[0039] In Embodiment 2: As Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, a valve seat assembly described in the present utility model has a gap at the connection between the winding member 11 and the sliding member 10, and this gap is used to reduce the acting force between the winding member 11 and the sliding member 10. With this structural arrangement, the gap between the winding member 11 and the sliding member 10 can effectively reduce the acting force of the sliding member 10 towards the winding member 11, and further improve the service life of the winding member 11 and the sliding member 10.

Further, when the valve seat support 6 moves towards the valve body 2, the relative stability between the sphere body 1 and the valve seat assembly 3 is maintained.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above method, further, the valve seat support 6 is provided with a fixed pin 13, and the fixed pin 13 is used to keep the valve seat support 6 stable.

The spring member 4 is arranged at the gap between the valve seat assembly 3 and the valve body 2. One side of the spring member 4 is connected to the valve seat assembly 3, and there is a gap between the other side of the spring member 4 and the valve body 2. The spring member 4 is used to reduce the acting force of the valve seat assembly 3 hitting the valve body 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the valve seat assembly 3 and the spring member 4 can effectively reduce the acting force of the spherical body 1 towards the valve body 2. When the spherical body 1 transmits the acting force towards the valve seat assembly 3, the valve seat assembly 3 moves towards the valve body 2. The gap between the valve seat assembly 3 and the valve body 2 can effectively reduce the impact frequency between the valve seat assembly 3 and the valve body 2. The spring member 4 can effectively reduce the acting force of the valve seat assembly 3 towards the valve body 2, further improving the service life of the valve body 2, the spherical body 1 and the valve seat assembly 3.

The central axis of the left body 14 is parallel to the central axis of the spherical body 1, and the central axis of the valve body base 15 coincides with the central axis of the spherical body 1. Taking the ground as the projection plane, the edge of the projection of the valve body 2 coincides with the edge of the spherical body 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, the left body 14 can effectively connect and cooperate with the valve seat assembly 3 to keep the valve body 2 stable. The valve body base 15 is connected and cooperated with the spherical body 1, further making the valve body 2, the valve seat assembly 3 and the spherical body 1 in a stable state, and further improving the practicality of the present invention in the actual use process.

With this structural arrangement, the hexagonal nuts 16 can effectively maintain the stable structure of the left body 14 and the valve body base 15, thereby maintaining the stability of the valve body 2 and further improving the service life of the valve body 2.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above method, further, the valve body 2 is provided with a footrest 17 facing the ground, and the footrest 17 is used to keep the valve body 2 in a stable state. With this structural arrangement, the footrest 17 can effectively reduce the kinetic energy when the spherical body 1 and the valve seat assembly 3 move. At the same time, the footrest 17 can keep the present invention stable in the actual use process, and further improve the practicality of the present invention in the actual use process.
