DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0026] For specific embodiment 1, please refer to Figure 1-4 The utility model is a hard-sealed ball valve, comprising a valve body 1; an inlet channel 2 and an outlet channel 3 are provided inside the valve body 1; a vertical slot 4 is provided between the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3; the vertical slot 4 connects the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3; the inlet channel 2, the outlet channel 3 and the vertical slot 4 all pass through the valve body 1; a ball 5 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the vertical slot 4; a first arcuate slot 6 is provided inside the valve body 1 at the position where the vertical slot 4 connects with the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3; the first arcuate slot 6 slides in cooperation with the side surface of the ball 5; a number of slide slots 7 are symmetrically provided on the two opposite inner walls of the vertical slot 4, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3; a valve seat 8 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the slide slot 7; a disc spring 9 is connected between one side of the valve seat 8 and the inner wall of the slide slot 7; a second arcuate slot 10 is provided on the other side of the valve seat 8 to slide in cooperation with the side surface of the ball 5.

[0027] Specifically, mounting grooves 11 are provided on the surface and bottom of the valve seat 8 ; O-rings 12 are provided inside the mounting grooves 11 ; the O-rings 12 fit the inner walls of the mounting grooves 11 and the inner walls of the slide groove 7 , respectively.

[0028] Furthermore, valve covers 13 are fixed on two opposite sides of the valve body 1; studs 14 are symmetrically threadedly provided on the side of the valve body 1; nuts 15 are threadedly provided on the side around the studs 14; the studs 14 pass through the valve cover 13; the studs 14 connect and fix the valve body 1 and the valve cover 13; the valve cover 13 seals the bottom of the vertical groove 4.

[0029] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: the valve cover 13 is connected to the valve body 1 through the studs 14 and the nuts 15 to complete the installation of the valve cover 13 so that the valve cover 13 seals the bottom of the vertical groove 4.

[0030] When the ball valve is closed, pressurized fluid still exists inside. The first arc groove 6 and the second arc groove 10 are both in contact with the side surfaces of the ball 5, and the fluid cannot flow through the inlet channel 2 and the outlet channel 3. When the medium is abnormally pressurized, the fluid needs to be released. The pressure inside and outside the valve seat 8 seal will push the valve seat 8 open, causing the valve seat 8 to slide along the inner wall of the slide groove 7 toward the disc spring 9, and then a gap will exist between the valve seat 8 and the ball 5, and the fluid will flow out of this gap for release, thereby reducing the pressure of the medium and effectively avoiding losses or accidents caused by it.

[0031] During the sliding of the valve seat 8 , the O-ring 12 in the mounting groove 11 is driven to slide, thereby increasing the sliding resistance of the valve seat 8 , cushioning the sliding of the valve seat 8 and preventing the pressure of the fluid from damaging the valve seat 8 .

[0032] For specific embodiment 2, please refer to Figure 1-4 On the basis of the first specific embodiment, an annular mounting block 16 is provided on the surface of the valve body 1; a first annular sealing groove 17 is provided on the side surface of the annular mounting block 16 and the valve cover 13; a first annular sealing gasket 18 is fixed symmetrically on the side surface of the valve body 1 so as to match the inner wall of the first annular sealing groove 17; a second annular sealing groove 19 is provided on the surface and bottom surface of the valve body 1; a second annular sealing gasket 20 is provided on the inner wall of the second annular sealing groove 19; the two second annular sealing gaskets 20 are respectively in contact with the bottom surface of the annular mounting block 16 and the surface of the valve cover 13.

[0033] Specifically, a valve stem 21 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the annular mounting block 16; an I-shaped rod 22 is fixed to the bottom end of the valve stem 21; a third annular sealing gasket 23 is provided on the inner wall of the I-shaped rod 22; the third annular sealing gasket 23 is in contact with the inner wall of the annular mounting block 16; a clamping plate 24 is fixed to the bottom surface of the I-shaped rod 22; a split ring 25 is provided between the clamping plate 24 and the annular mounting block 16.

[0034] Furthermore, an annular packing gasket 26 and an annular packing gland 27 are sequentially arranged from bottom to top between the peripheral side of the valve stem 21 and the annular mounting block 16 ; and flexible graphite 28 is arranged between the annular packing gasket 26 and the annular packing gland 27 .

[0035] Furthermore, an annular positioning block 29 is provided on the surface of the annular packing gland 27; a retaining ring 30 is provided on the surface of the annular positioning block 29; a handle 31 is connected to the top of the valve stem 21; the surface of the handle 31 and the surface of the annular packing gland 27 are both threadedly engaged with hexagon socket screws 32; the two hexagon socket screws 32 respectively pass through the top of the valve stem 21 and the surface of the annular mounting block 16; a large washer 33 is provided between the hexagon socket screw 32 and the handle 31.

[0036] The operating process of this embodiment is: install the annular mounting block 16 and the valve cover 13 on the surface and bottom surface of the valve body 1, so that the first annular sealing gasket 18 is plugged into and matched with the first annular sealing groove 17, and the two second annular sealing gaskets 20 are respectively fitted with the bottom surface of the annular mounting block 16 and the surface of the valve cover 13, thereby improving the sealing between the annular mounting block 16 and the valve cover 13 and the valve body 1.

[0037] Then insert the valve stem 21 from the inner wall of the annular mounting block 16, and then fill the flexible graphite 28 into the annular packing pad 26 of the valve stem 21. Finally, cover the annular packing gland 27 to seal the flexible graphite 28. Then place the annular positioning block 29 and the retaining ring 30 on the surface of the annular packing gland 27 in sequence. Then place the handle 31 on the top of the valve stem 21, and place the large washer 33 on the surface of the handle 31. Finally, use the hexagon socket screw 32 to connect and fix the handle 31 and the valve stem 21.

[0038] When the valve stem 21 slides downward, the I-rod 22 slides downward, driving the third annular sealing gasket 23 thereon to move close to the inner wall of the annular mounting block 16 to increase the sealing performance. When the valve stem 21 slides to the lowest position, the clamping plate 24 presses against the side surface of the ball 5, and the bottom surface of the I-rod 22 fits against the split ring 25. At this time, the ball 5 is limited and fixed. When the valve stem 21 slides upward, the clamping plate 24 separates from the ball 5, and the ball 5 is released from the limit.
