[0002] A ball valve is a common fluid control valve that controls the flow of fluid through a spherical valve core. The ball of the ball valve has a central hole. When the valve is rotated to a specific angle, the hole can be aligned with or blocked with the flow channel of the pipeline, thereby controlling the flow of the fluid. Ball valves usually have good sealing performance and durability, and are suitable for flow control of various liquid and gas media. They are widely used in industries such as industry, chemical industry, petroleum, and natural gas. In addition, ball valves are simple to operate and are generally opened and closed by rotating a handle or electric drive. They are suitable for occasions that require fast opening and closing and high sealing.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Specifically, the valve body 1 and the connecting pipe 2 adopt an integrated casting structure to ensure the sealing of the ball valve. The ball valve can be connected to the external pipe through the flange 3 using matching bolts and nuts, which is convenient for installation and use. The filter 12 installed inside the connecting pipe 2 can filter out fine impurities contained in the fluid when passing through the ball valve, reducing wear on the inside of the ball valve, thereby avoiding leakage caused by wear. The connecting pipe 2 fixes the support rod 8, so that when the fluid flows at high speed, it generates an impulse on the impeller 9 connected to the bottom end of the support rod 8, causing it to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 10 to rotate. The rotating rod 10 drives the mounting shell 11 to rotate, and under the push of multiple springs 13, the brush plate 14 is in close contact with the surface of the filter 12, which can be cleaned during rotation, thereby realizing automatic cleaning operation, avoiding impurities clogging the filter 12 after long-term use, and reducing maintenance workload. The valve stem 6 drives the handle 7 to rotate, thereby causing the ball 4 to rotate inside the valve body 1, thereby realizing the opening and closing operation of the valve and controlling the flow of the fluid.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4, sealing assemblies are provided on the front and rear sides of the ball 4, and the sealing assemblies are used to improve the sealing effect of the ball valve. The sealing assembly includes two movable plates 5 and multiple sleeve rods 15. The two movable plates 5 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the outside of the ball 4. The multiple sleeve rods 15 are fixedly connected to the outside of the ball 4. The inside of the sleeve rod 15 is fixedly connected with a spring 2 17. The other end of the spring 2 17 is fixedly connected to the limit block 16. The outside of the limit block 16 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 21. One end of the connecting rod 21 extends to the outside of the sleeve rod 15 and is fixedly connected to the movable plate 5. The limit block 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve rod 15. The outside of the sleeve rod 15 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable plate 5. The outer wall of the movable plate 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the valve body 1. The longitudinal section diameter of the movable plate 5 is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting pipe 2.

[0029] Specifically, the ball 4 plays a fixing role on multiple sleeve rods 15, so that when the ball 4 rotates, it can drive the two front and rear movable plates 5 to move simultaneously, and the spring 2 17 inside the sleeve rod 15 can push the limit block 16 to move, so that the limit block 16 slides inside the sleeve rod 15 and pushes the connecting rod 21 to move, thereby making the surface of the movable plate 5 close to the inner wall of the valve body 1, thereby ensuring the sealing of the valve after closing and effectively isolating the flow of fluid, wherein the sleeve rod 15 restricts the movement of the limit block 16, so that the spring 2 17 can stably contract, thereby improving the stability of the structure during operation, and at the same time, a sealing ring is provided at the edge of the movable plate 5 to ensure the sealing during rotation, and the longitudinal section diameter of the movable plate 5 is larger than the internal diameter of the connecting pipe 2, so that the movable plate 5 will not be stuck in the interior of the connecting pipe 2 when rotating.

[0030] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 , protective components are provided on the front and rear sides of the outside of the valve body 1. The protective components are used to protect the valve body 1. The protective components include an arc-shaped plate 22, and two sliding rods 23 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped plate 22. Two sliders 24 are slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod 23. A tension spring 25 is fixedly connected between the two sliders 24. The tension spring 25 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 23. The outside of the slider 24 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 26, and the connecting rod 26 is rotatably connected to the outside of the valve body 1.

[0031] Specifically, the arc plate 22 can block the external impact on the valve body 1, so that 22 can push the two connecting rods 26 to rotate. At this time, under the external force, the slider 24 will slide along the slide rod 23, thereby extending the tension spring 25. The reaction force generated by the tension spring 25 can absorb part of the impact, thereby protecting the valve body 1 and preventing external impact from causing damage to the ball valve, affecting the sealing performance, and causing the internal fluid to flow out.

[0032] Reference Figure 5The outer wall of the flange 3 is provided with a flat rubber ring 19 , and a fitting groove 20 is opened on the side of the flat rubber ring 19 close to the flange 3 , and the fitting groove 20 matches the shape of the rubber ring 18 .

[0033] Specifically, the fitting groove 20 opened on the inner side of the flat rubber ring 19 fits with the rubber ring 18, so that after the valve is installed, the sealing performance of the interface is ensured to be good, and the sealing performance of the ball valve during use is further improved.

[0034] Working principle: When using this ball valve, first connect the flanges 3 at both ends to the pipeline through the matching bolts and nuts to complete the installation operation. Then, when the fluid passes through the ball valve, the fine impurities contained therein can be filtered through the filter screen 12, reducing the wear on the inside of the ball valve, thereby avoiding leakage caused by wear. At the same time, when the fluid flows at high speed, it will generate an impact on the impeller 9 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 10 to rotate, and the rotating rod 10 drives the mounting shell 11 to rotate, and under the push of multiple springs 13, the brush plate 14 is in close contact with the surface of the filter screen 12, which can be cleaned on the surface of the filter screen 12 during rotation, thereby realizing automatic cleaning operation and avoiding long After a period of use, impurities clog the filter 12, reducing the maintenance workload. Secondly, by rotating the valve stem 6, the handle 7 is rotated, and the movable plate 5 is moved. During the rotation, the spring 17 inside the sleeve rod 15 can push the limit block 16 to move, so that the limit block 16 slides inside the sleeve rod 15 and pushes the connecting rod 21 to move, so that the surface of the movable plate 5 is in close contact with the inner wall of the valve body 1, thereby ensuring the sealing of the valve after closing and effectively isolating the flow of the fluid. At the same time, the fitting groove 20 opened on the inner side of the flat rubber ring 19 fits with the rubber ring 18, so that the valve has good sealing after installation, further improving the sealing of the ball valve during use.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
