[0020] Embodiment

[0021] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a three-way ball valve flange forging that is easy to process in this embodiment includes coaxially arranged flange plate one 1 and flange plate two 2, and flange plate one 1 and flange plate two 2 are fixedly connected by connecting pipe 3. A plurality of connection holes one 12 are circumferentially and uniformly arranged on flange plate one 1, and connection holes one 12 penetrate through the two end faces of flange plate one 1, which is convenient for connecting with the valve body through bolts. A plurality of connection holes two 21 are circumferentially and uniformly arranged on flange plate two 2, and connection holes two 21 penetrate through the two end faces of flange plate two 2, which is convenient for connecting with external components through bolts.

[0022] In order to improve the stability of drill bit drilling and the position accuracy of drilling, in this embodiment, a plurality of positioning grooves one 14 and positioning grooves two 22 are respectively provided on the outer circumferential surfaces of flange plate one 1 and flange plate two 2, and a plurality of positioning grooves one 14 and a plurality of connection holes one 12 are distributed in one-to-one correspondence, and a plurality of positioning grooves two 22 and a plurality of connection holes two 21 are distributed in one-to-one correspondence (refer to Figure 1). With this structural design, only positioning columns need to be correspondingly arranged on one side of the drill bit. When the drill bit performs drilling operations, the positioning columns are located in the corresponding positioning groove one 14 or positioning groove two 22, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the position accuracy and drilling stability of the drill bit. The positioning groove one 14 and the positioning groove two 22 have the same structure, and their cross-sections are both semi-circular arcs, which is convenient for cooperation with the positioning columns. In this embodiment, both the positioning groove one 14 and the positioning groove two 22 are arranged on the outer peripheral surfaces of the flange one 1 and the flange two 2. The positioning groove one 14 and the positioning groove two 22 are both arranged along the axial direction of the connecting pipe 3. The positioning groove one 14 penetrates through the two end faces of the flange one 1, and the positioning groove two 22 penetrates through the two end faces of the flange two 2. With this design, not only is the processing difficulty low, but it also neither affects the structural strength of the flange forging nor affects the sealing performance of the connection of the flange forging. Therefore, there is no need to remove it after the drilling process is completed, saving the processing procedures and processing time.

[0023] In addition, in this embodiment, the central axes of the corresponding connection holes one 12 coincide with the projections of the central axes of the connection holes two 21 on the same horizontal plane along the radial direction of the flange one 1. The central axes of the corresponding positioning groove one 14 and the positioning groove two 22 coincide with the projections of the central axes of the positioning groove one 14 and the positioning groove two 22 on the same horizontal plane along the radial direction of the flange one 1.

[0024] Meanwhile, in order to improve the sealing performance of the connection between the flange forging and the valve body, a sealing ring groove 13 is provided on the end face of the flange one 1 in this embodiment. As Figure 3 shown, the cross-section of the sealing ring groove 13 is a stepped structure, including a connected stepped groove one 131 and a stepped groove two 132. The cross-sections of the stepped groove one 131 and the stepped groove two 132 are both right trapezoidal structures, and the small ends of the right trapezoidal structures are located at the end close to the connecting pipe 3, and the large ends are located at the end far from the connecting pipe 3, that is, the large ends penetrate through the end face of the flange one 1. The hypotenuses of the stepped groove one 131 and the stepped groove two 132 are on the same side. With this design, the size of the opening of the stepped groove one 131 and the stepped groove two 132 is larger than the size of the groove bottom. When cooperating with the sealing ring for installation, the sealing ring is easier to align and snap in. At the same time, the sealing ring groove 13 adopts a stepped structure, and can achieve double sealing through the cooperation of the stepped groove one 131 and the stepped groove two 132 with the sealing ring, making the sealing effect more remarkable.

[0025] In this embodiment, a limiting hole 11 is further recessed on the end face of the first flange 1. The limiting hole 11 is located inside the sealing ring groove 13. In this embodiment, two limiting holes 11 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the first flange 1, and one side of the limiting hole 11 is communicated with the sealing ring groove 13. Specifically, the limiting hole 11 is communicated with the sealing ring groove 13 through a connecting groove 15, and the depth of the limiting hole 11 is greater than the depth of the connecting groove 15. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the limiting hole 11 is circular. With this design, when clamping and fixing the flange forging, only a clamping post adapted to the limiting hole 11 needs to be correspondingly arranged on the clamping tooling. During clamping, the clamping post is clamped with the limiting hole 11, improving the stability and reliability of clamping, thereby improving the position accuracy during machining and preventing the flange forging from circumferentially moving during the machining process. In addition, the designed limiting hole 11 in this embodiment can not only be used in cooperation with the clamping tooling, but also be used in cooperation with the sealing ring. That is, a clamping strip adapted to the limiting hole 11 is correspondingly arranged inside the sealing ring. When the sealing ring is installed into the above-mentioned sealing ring groove 13, the clamping strip on it is clamped into the limiting hole 11, further improving the reliability of the sealing ring installation, making it difficult for the sealing ring to fall off from the sealing ring groove 13 when the first flange 1 and the valve body are disassembled and assembled; at the same time, it can also prevent the sealing ring from circumferentially moving due to being squeezed.

[0026] A positioning boss 23 is arranged on the end face of the second flange 2 in this embodiment. The cross-section of the positioning boss 23 is an isosceles trapezoid structure. The large end of the isosceles trapezoid structure is connected to the end face of the second flange 2. A groove adapted to the above-mentioned positioning boss 23 is arranged on the connecting face of the external component. With this structural design, it is easier for the positioning boss 23 and the groove of the external component to achieve position alignment and engagement. And in this embodiment, the inner diameter of the positioning boss 23 is greater than the inner diameter of the second flange 2, facilitating the cooperation between the clamping tooling and the end face of the second flange 2 inside the positioning boss 23.

[0027] A three-way ball valve flange forging that is easy to process according to the present utility model, by arranging a first positioning groove 14 and a second positioning groove 22 on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first flange 1 and the second flange 2 to assist the drill bit in positioning, improving the drilling position accuracy and the stability of the drilling operation; and the first positioning groove 14 and the second positioning groove 22 are arranged on the outer peripheral surface without affecting the flange forging; in addition, by arranging the sealing ring groove 13, the sealing performance of the connection between the flange forging and the valve body is improved, and by arranging the limiting hole 11, a dual effect is achieved, that is, improving the stability of the clamping tooling clamping and the reliability of the sealing ring installation.

[0028] For those skilled in the art, according to the technical solutions and concepts described above, various corresponding changes and deformations can be made, and all these changes and deformations should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
