Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of plug valves, and in particular to a top-driven plug valve that is easy to lubricate. Background Art
[0002] Valves are control components in fluid delivery systems, providing functions such as shutoff, regulation, flow diversion, backflow prevention, pressure stabilization, flow diversion, or overflow and pressure relief. Plug valves are a type of valve, with manual plug valves being the most widely used due to their ease of operation and low maintenance costs.
[0003] In the prior art, after long-term use, the plug valve will not rotate smoothly due to long-term wear of the valve core or erosion by moisture. Most of the current solutions are to drip lubricating oil into the inside of the plug valve to enable the valve core to rotate smoothly. However, since most plug valves are integrated designs, it is necessary to remove the valve core and then drip lubricating oil, which makes the process of dripping lubricating oil more cumbersome.

[0023] Example 1
[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 4This embodiment provides a top-driven plug valve that is easy to lubricate, including a valve body 1. The valve body 1 is provided with a lubricating device 2. The lubricating device 2 includes an oil tank 21. The oil tank 21 is fixedly connected to the front of the valve body 1. An oil inlet 22 is fixedly connected to the left side of the oil tank 21. A movable rod 23 is movably passed through the top of the inner wall of the oil tank 21. A conical block 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable rod 23. A spring 28 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the movable rod 23. The spring 28 is a compression spring, which is easy to manufacture and process, has low cost, and can be applied to different shapes, sizes and load requirements. Therefore, it has high applicability. Compression springs exert a compressive force and are characterized by high elasticity, high thermal conductivity, and high durability. They offer high reliability and stability during operation. Compared to ordinary springs, compression springs are more compact and can exert a greater compression effect within a limited space, saving equipment space. A piston plate 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable rod 23, and an oil injection pipe 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil tank 21. A spring 28 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the movable rod 23. This spring 28 provides the necessary rebound force to ensure that the movable rod 23 returns to its initial position when not in use, preventing oil leakage. A piston plate 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable rod 23. This piston plate 26 is used to enhance the pressure output of the oil and ensure effective distribution of the lubricating oil. An oil injection pipe 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the oil tank 21. This injection pipe 27 delivers lubricating oil to the top of the valve core 7, ensuring continuous lubrication. A connecting block 3 is fixedly connected to the valve body 1. The connection block 3 is designed to provide a connection interface between the valve body and the external system. The connecting block 3 not only enhances the structural stability of the valve body 1 but also enables tight connection with other equipment or piping systems, ensuring safe and efficient fluid transfer. The shape and dimensions of the connecting block 3 are carefully designed to accommodate standard interfaces, facilitating user operation during installation and maintenance. The connecting block 3 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 4 via a bearing. The rotating rod 4 is cast in an integrated manner, enhancing integrity. With no internal joints, there are no weak points at these interfaces, eliminating the need for assembly and allowing for direct installation. This facilitates manufacturing and maintenance, reduces the number of components and steps involved in the assembly process, lowering assembly costs and time. The reduced number of connection points and joints reduces the risk of loosening or failure between components, enhances the structural strength and stability of the entire assembly, and improves the long-term service life of the product. The rotating rod 4 rotates smoothly within the connecting block 3, reducing friction and extending the life of the equipment. The rotating rod 4 effectively transmits torque, ensuring quick and reliable opening and closing of the valve core 7. The bearing selection and mounting position are optimized to accommodate high loads and frequent operation, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the valve. The top of the rotating rod 4 is fixedly connected to a rotating disk 5, and the top of the rotating disk 5 is rotatably connected to a handle 6 through a bearing. The bottom of the rotating rod 4 is fixedly connected to a valve core 7. The bottom of the rotating disk 5 is fixedly connected to an extrusion rod 25.
[0025] When the above-mentioned equipment is in use, grasp the handle 6, the handle 6 drives the turntable 5 to rotate, and the turntable 5 drives the squeezing rod 25 to rotate. When the squeezing rod 25 rotates to the top of the conical block 24, the conical block 24 is squeezed to move to the bottom, and the conical block 24 drives the movable rod 23 to descend. The movable rod 23 drives the spring 28 to stretch, and the movable rod 23 drives the piston plate 26 to descend. The piston plate 26 squeezes the lubricating oil and sprays it out from the oil spray pipe 27, spraying the lubricating oil to the top of the valve core 7. When the squeezing rod 25 no longer supports the conical block 24, the spring 28 drives the piston plate 26 to reset. Automatic oil spraying can lubricate while the equipment is running.
[0026] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
