Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a valve with easily replaceable friction parts. Background Art

[0002] Valves, as key components in piping systems, are widely used in numerous industries, including petroleum, chemical engineering, metallurgy, and water treatment. Their primary function is to open, close, or regulate the flow of fluids, ensuring safe and efficient fluid transportation. With the development of modern industry, valve reliability, sealing, and ease of maintenance have become key concerns.

[0003] Traditional valve designs are often complex, especially for valves used for extended periods. Internal components such as seals, stems, and balls are susceptible to erosion and wear from fluids, as well as temperature and pressure fluctuations, leading to seal failure, leakage, and even valve malfunction. Once a valve problem occurs, particularly seal damage, the entire valve must be disassembled for complex repair or replacement, increasing not only equipment downtime but also maintenance costs.

[0004] Seals are key components in valve construction, directly impacting valve sealing performance. However, because seals come into contact with components like the valve ball and seat, they are subject to fluid pressure, temperature, friction, and corrosion. Over time, these seals can easily wear, age, or fail. Prompt replacement of seals is crucial; otherwise, fluid leakage can occur, potentially leading to safety incidents.

[0005] Replacing seals in traditional valves is a complex process, often requiring complete valve disassembly and tedious maintenance. This is particularly problematic in pipeline systems, where valves are often installed in cramped locations. Furthermore, valves used in high-temperature, high-pressure, or corrosive environments have shorter seal lifespans, further increasing the need for frequent maintenance and increasing industrial operating costs.

[0006] Therefore, it is very necessary to invent a kind of friction piece easy-change valve. Utility Model Content

[0023] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 3 shown.

[0024] The utility model provides a friction part easy-replacement valve, comprising a valve body 1, a valve seat 2, a valve ball 4, a valve stem 5, a sealing member 7 and a pressure block 8, wherein: the valve seat 2 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the valve body 1, and the valve ball 4 is rotatably mounted inside the valve body 1, and the valve stem 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the valve ball 4; the sealing member 7 is clamped and mounted inside the two ends of the valve body 1, and the pressure block 8 is fixedly mounted on both ends of the valve body 1.

[0025] The bottom of the valve seat 2 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate 3 .

[0026] The top end of the valve stem 5 is fixedly mounted on the driving handle 6 .

[0027] The valve body 1 includes a valve body base 11, a valve stem rotation groove 12, a seal installation groove 13 and a connecting bolt hole 14, and the valve stem rotation groove 12 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the valve body base 11, and the seal installation groove 13 is opened inside the two ends of the valve body base 11; the connecting bolt hole 14 is arranged at the top and bottom of the valve body base 11.

[0028] The pressure block 8 includes a support body 81, a connecting plate 82, a sealing pressure ring 83 and a guide slope 84, and the connecting plate 82 is fixedly mounted on one end of the support body 81, and the connecting plate 82 is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the valve body 1; the sealing pressure ring 83 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the connecting plate 82, and the guide slope 84 is arranged on the inner wall of the support body 81.

[0029] The valve bodies 1 are in pairs and mirror images of each other, and the two groups of valve bodies 1 can be connected together by bolts through their internal connecting bolt holes 14. The seal mounting grooves 13 inside the two ends of the valve body base 11 are semicircular grooves; the seal mounting grooves 13 inside the two groups of valve body bases 11 can be spliced to form an annular groove, in which the seal 7 is fixed.

[0030] Two groups of pressure blocks 8 are used and are installed at both ends of the valve body 1 in a mirror-image manner; the sealing pressure ring 83 is an annular stainless steel metal block, and the sealing pressure ring 83 contacts the seal 7 after the pressure blocks 8 are installed at both ends of the valve body 1; the guide slope 84 is an annular slope, and the size of the small diameter end of the guide slope 84 is consistent with the size of the guide hole inside the seal 7.

[0031] The working principle of the friction-replaceable valve is based on the coordinated operation of key components such as the valve body, valve ball, valve stem, seals, and pressure blocks to achieve fluid control, sealing, and rapid maintenance. The following is a description of the working principle of the valve:

[0032] 1. Basic principles of valve opening and closing

[0033] The friction-part replaceable valve controls the flow of fluid by rotating the valve ball 4. When the drive handle 6 is rotated, the valve stem 5 drives the valve ball 4 to rotate around the axis. There is a through hole inside the valve ball that is connected to the pipeline. As the valve ball rotates 90 degrees, the through hole aligns with the pipeline, allowing fluid to pass through. At this time, the valve is in the open state; on the contrary, when the valve ball rotates 90 degrees, the through hole is perpendicular to the pipeline, the fluid is blocked, and the valve is in the closed state.

[0034] 2. Sealing principle

[0035] The sealing performance of the valve depends on the cooperation between the sealing member 7 and the pressure block 8. When the valve ball 4 is in the closed state, the sealing member 7 inside the valve body 1 is in close contact with the valve ball and the inner wall of the valve body under the pressure of the pressure block 8, forming an effective sealing structure. The sealing member pressure ring 83 in the pressure block presses the sealing member to ensure that no matter how the pressure of the fluid changes, the sealing at both ends of the valve can be maintained stably and reliably to prevent fluid leakage.

[0036] 3. Diversion function

[0037] When the fluid passes through the valve, the guide slope 84 inside the pressure block 8 guides the fluid to pass smoothly through the valve body 1 and the valve ball 4, reducing flow resistance and avoiding wear caused by the fluid impacting the seal 7. The design of the guide slope helps to evenly distribute the fluid pressure and extend the service life of the seal.

[0038] 4. The principle of easy replacement of seals

[0039] The focus of the friction-replaceable valve design is the convenience of replacing the seal 7. Seal mounting grooves 13 are provided at both ends of the valve body 1. The seal is fixed in the mounting groove by a pressure block 8. When the seal needs to be replaced, just loosen the bolts on the pressure block and remove the pressure block 8 to easily remove the seal 7 without disassembling the entire valve. This modular design greatly simplifies the maintenance process, reduces downtime and operational difficulty.

[0040] 5. Structural stability and easy maintenance

[0041] The symmetrical mirror design of the valve body 1 and the pressure block 8, as well as the fixation through the connecting bolts 14, make the entire valve structure stable and reliable. The valve stem rotation groove 12 provides space for the valve stem to rotate, ensuring smooth operation of the valve ball when opening and closing. At the same time, the bolt connection method makes the disassembly and maintenance of the valve very convenient, especially when the seal needs to be replaced, the replacement operation can be completed quickly to ensure the long-term normal operation of the valve.

[0042] 6. Summary

[0043] The working principle of the friction-replaceable valve is mainly reflected in the control, sealing and rapid maintenance of the fluid. The opening and closing of the fluid are controlled by the rotation of the valve ball. The close fit between the seal and the pressure block ensures efficient sealing performance. The guide slope optimizes the flow of the fluid. The modular design simplifies the replacement process of the seal. This design not only improves the service life of the valve, but also greatly reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0044] Utilizing the technical solution described in the utility model, or those skilled in the art designing similar technical solutions inspired by the technical solution of the utility model to achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, all fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
