Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of valves, in particular to a lock valve. Background Art

[0002] Ball valves are widely used in civil applications as well as in industries such as petroleum and chemical engineering. Existing ball valves lack effective controls for opening and closing, with the opening and closing mechanisms directly exposed to the outside of the valve body and lacking necessary protective mechanisms. These valves are not only susceptible to accidental damage or unauthorized opening, but also allow anyone with access to operate them at will, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty of managing public facilities and community properties.

[0003] Common valves equipped with locking devices on the market, such as the magnetic locking valve disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN205504164U, comprise a valve stem and a valve body with a journal. The outer end of the valve stem extends from the journal, while the inner end of the valve stem is located within the valve body. A rotating drum connected to the valve stem is mounted on the journal, and a groove is formed on the inner wall of the rotating drum. The journal is provided with a magnetic post that can move radially along the journal, and a spring that forces the magnetic post to enter the groove. The inner wall of the rotating drum is provided with an arc groove that faces the journal, and a stopper that is inserted into the arc groove. The inner wall of the rotating drum also has a blocking surface. One end of the arc groove, the blocking surface, the other end of the arc groove, and the groove are arranged in sequence around the axis of the rotating drum. When the magnetic post is released from the groove and the rotating drum is rotated, the magnetic post can contact the blocking surface. This magnetic locking valve offers the advantage that even when the magnetic lock is removed, the user can still control the valve opening and closing.

[0004] This type of valve requires a specific magnetic lock to unlock, which improves the valve's safety and reliability to a certain extent. However, the design of the lockshield valve is not rational. It uses a single magnetic column to lock the drum. Clamping the connecting lug on the drum with a pipe wrench can violently destroy the magnetic column, rendering the locking device ineffective and allowing the valve to be easily opened or closed.

By rotating the unlocking device 7, the valve core 2 can be controlled to open and close the liquid channel in the valve body 1. The unlocking device 7 controls the rotation angle of the valve cover 5 to 90°, and the travel groove 41 is a fan-shaped structure. Specifically, this is to ensure that the user can conveniently open or close the locking valve.

[0032] The travel block 42 and the valve cover 5 are integrally formed. In some embodiments, the travel block 42 and the valve cover 5 are separate bodies, and the travel block 42 and the valve cover 5 are connected by plugging or screws.

[0033] In the above-mentioned locking valve, there are three locking devices 6, and two of them are arranged away from the stroke groove 41, and the other is arranged close to the stroke groove 41. Specifically, the positions of the three locking devices are arranged to form a right triangle, and when the valve core closes the liquid passage in the valve body, the upper and lower parts of the magnet of the locking device are located in the limit groove of the valve cover and the mounting groove of the base, and there are three locking devices, which is used to increase the difficulty of destruction by destroyers; when the valve core opens the liquid passage in the valve body, the upper and lower parts of the magnet of one of the locking devices are located in the limit groove of the valve cover and the mounting groove of the base, so that It can also prevent other people from closing the valve, and increase the difficulty of destruction by saboteurs. It is worth mentioning that the three magnets of the three locking devices are magnet 1A, magnet 1B and magnet C, and the distance between magnet 1A and magnet 1B is smaller than the distance between magnet 1A and magnet C and the distance between magnet 1B and magnet C. There are also three limiting grooves on the valve cover, which correspond one to one with magnet 1A, magnet 1B and magnet C. The three limiting grooves are limiting groove a, limiting groove b and limiting groove c. When the valve core opens the liquid channel in the valve body, magnet 1B extends into the limiting groove c.

The handle 72 is passed through the unlocking cap 71, and the magnet 73 is fixed in the unlocking cap 71. The magnetic force between the lower end surface of the magnet 73 and the upper end surface of the magnet 1 62 is a repulsive force. Specifically, this is to facilitate the user to unlock. The magnet 2 can push the magnet 1 to move downward and disengage from the limit groove, so that the unlocking cap 71 can drive the valve cover and rotate, thereby controlling the valve core to open and close the liquid channel of the valve body.

[0035] In the above-mentioned locking valve, the number of the second magnets 73 is six, and the second magnets 73 are grouped into three, and the two groups of second magnets 73 are arranged opposite to each other. Specifically, this is to reduce the difficulty of use for the user. No matter in which direction the user mates the unlocking cap with the valve cover, the second magnet can always push the first magnet to move downward and out of the limit groove.

[0036] In the above-mentioned locking valve, a rotating shaft 51 is convexly formed on the upper end of the valve cover 5, and a positioning groove 52 is provided on the circumferential side of the rotating shaft 51. The unlocking cap 71 is provided with an axial hole 53 used in conjunction with the rotating shaft 51, and a latching tooth 54 used in conjunction with the positioning groove 52 is provided on the side wall of the axial hole 53. There are several positioning grooves 52, and the positioning grooves 52 are grouped in pairs. Four groups of positioning grooves 52 are provided on the circumferential side of the rotating shaft 51, and the number of latching teeth 54 corresponds to the number of positioning grooves 52. Specifically, this is to facilitate the unlocking cap to be inserted into the valve cover, and also to facilitate the unlocking cap to drive the valve cover.

[0037] In the above-mentioned locking valve, the four groups of positioning grooves 52 are arranged opposite to each other in pairs, and the distances between two adjacent groups of positioning grooves 52 are different. Specifically, the distances between two relative groups of positioning grooves are the same. This is to ensure that when the unlocking cap is matched with the valve cover, each magnet 1 62 has a corresponding magnet 2 73.

[0038] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
