[0002] At present, the valve seat is an essential component of the valve. The performance of the valve seat directly affects the sealing performance of the valve, especially in harsh working conditions such as mud. Particles are easily introduced into the back of the conventional valve seat structure, thereby affecting the sealing performance between the valve seat and the body cover as well as the opening and closing performance. Long-term accumulation will cause damage to the valve seat sealing surface and even cause the valve to fail to open and close normally.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a ball valve with a novel valve seat sealing structure described in the present utility model.

[0019] Figure 2 For this utility model Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the middle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Figure 1 and Figure 2A ball valve with a novel valve seat sealing structure includes a special-shaped valve seat 2. A first sealing ring 22 and a second sealing ring 23 are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the special-shaped valve seat 2. The first sealing ring 22 is press-fitted and sealed with a connector 3, and the second sealing ring 23 is press-fitted and sealed with a valve body 1. The bottom end of the special-shaped valve seat 2 is press-fitted and sealed with a ball 4. The connector 3 and the valve body 1 are fixedly connected by bolts. A valve stem 7 is inserted at the top of the valve body 1, and the bottom end of the valve stem 7 is inserted into the ball 4. In order to seal the special-shaped valve seat and the connector, a first conical surface 221 is provided on the outer wall of the first sealing ring 22, an annular groove 31 is provided at one end of the connector 3, and a second conical surface 311 is provided at the top of the annular groove 31. The first conical surface 221 and the second conical surface 311 are press-fitted and sealed. To ensure a seal between the shaped valve seat and the valve body, the inner wall of the valve body 1 is provided with a third conical surface 12, and the outer wall of the second sealing ring 23 is provided with a fourth conical surface 231. The third conical surface 12 and the fourth conical surface 231 are press-fitted together. The second sealing ring 23 is positioned in the gap between the valve body 1 and the ball 4. A bump 21 is provided at the top of the shaped valve seat 2, and a recess 11 is provided at one end of the inner wall of the valve body 1. The bump 21 press-fits into the recess 11. The left side of the bump 21 abuts against the connector 3. The bottom end of the shaped valve seat 2 is provided with a first spherical surface 24, and the ball 4 is provided with a second spherical surface 41. The first spherical surface 24 and the second spherical surface 41 are press-fitted together to seal. The inner wall of the shaped valve seat 2 and the inner wall of the connector 3 are flush, i.e., they have the same inner diameter, eliminating any gaps or recesses, and preventing silt accumulation. A raised ring 32 is provided at one end of the inner wall of the connector 3, and press-fits into one end of the shaped valve seat 2. A groove 31 is formed on the inner wall of the protruding ring 32 , and a second conical surface 311 is formed at the top end of the groove 31 .

[0022] A sliding bearing 71 is press-fitted to the lower portion of the valve stem 7. A boss is provided at the lower portion of the valve stem 7, which press-fits the sliding bearing 71. The bottom end of the valve stem 7 is inserted into the top end of the sphere 4. A guide sleeve 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the valve stem 7. The sliding bearing 71 is press-fitted to the valve body 1. A clearance of 45° exists between the valve stem 7 and the top end of the sphere 4. This clearance 45° facilitates rotation of the valve stem. The guide sleeve 6 is press-fitted to the top end of the valve body 1 via a sealing ring and secured with bolts.

[0023] The valve stem rotates through the sliding bearing to open the ball, and the fluid containing mud flows from the through hole of the ball through the connector 3 and finally flows out. The first spherical surface 24 in front of the special-shaped valve seat and the second spherical surface of the ball will produce scratches. The back of the special-shaped valve seat has the same inner diameter as the connector, and mud will not accumulate. The sealing effect between the valve seat and the valve body is improved, and particles are prevented from entering the back of the valve seat, forming a better sealing effect, and expanding the application range and service life of the valve.

[0024] The above are only specific application examples of the present invention and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any technical solution formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent replacement shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
