Electric valves are typically driven by a motor. The opening and closing action requires a certain analog time, which can be adjusted. They are relatively resistant to voltage surges and can operate in various states: open, closed, half-open, and half-closed. They can control the flow of media in pipelines. Some existing motor valves are equipped with spring-like elastic parts, such as application number 202221411850.7 disclosed in the Chinese patent document, application publication date 2022.10.25, and invention name "Smart Fluid Track Ball Valve"; the valve body of the ball valve is provided with a ball assembly, a valve port sealing assembly and a valve seat assembly. The key points are that the top valve port of the valve body is provided with a valve port seat, the middle top of the valve port seat is provided with a bearing seat, and the two ends of the screw rod in the bearing seat are respectively provided with bearings, and the middle bottom of the valve port seat is provided with a piston seat. The piston in the piston seat is provided with a guide rod, one end of the guide rod extends out of the piston and is connected to the top of the annular part of the ball head assembly, and the other end is provided with a rotating sleeve fixed by a nut in the shaft hole, and the screw rod is connected to the rotating sleeve in the guide rod, and an air guide channel is provided between the valve body and the valve port seat between the air outlet side of the valve body and the piston cavity in the piston seat; the motor shaft of the motor assembly is provided with a motor gear, and the screw rod extending out of the bearing seat is meshed with the motor gear through the output gear.

There is a lack of eccentric valve opening and closing limit structure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a quick-closing ball valve in the art that addresses the technical problems of existing similar products, such as the limited use of an eccentric upper drive shaft structure to ensure a tight seal in the closed state, and the poorly designed lower shaft structure at the bottom, which makes it difficult to cooperate with the eccentric structure of the upper drive shaft to achieve a closed valve seal. This objective is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0004] A quick-closing ball valve, in which a ball is provided in the valve body of the ball valve, and a sealing surface on one side of the spherical surface of the ball is pressed against the valve port sealing component of the orifice of the channel on one side of the air outlet hole in the valve body for sealing, or a sealing surface on one side of the spherical surface of the ball is pressed against the orifice of the channel on one side of the air outlet hole in the valve body for sealing, a ball channel is provided in parallel at the rear of the sealing surface of the ball, a transmission shaft and a ball head shaft are provided at both ends of the central axis of the top and bottom of the ball respectively, the transmission shaft extends out of the valve cover on the top of the valve body and the cover seat on the top of the valve cover in turn, and is fixed with an output tooth by a pin, and the transmission shaft is fixed to the cover by the output tooth limit The valve seat has a second and third bearing on the outer diameter of the drive shaft within the top and bottom grooves of the valve cover, respectively. The stem at one end of the ball shaft inserts into the bottom of the ball, while the ball head at the other end engages with the ball groove at the bottom of the valve body below. The drive shaft at the top of the ball extends out of the valve body and meshes with one of the gears in the reducer assembly via the output gears. Meanwhile, another gear in the reducer assembly meshes with the drive gear on the motor shaft. The output gears, motor, and reducer assembly are housed within a housing on the top of the valve body. A coil spring and microswitch may be located on one side of the reducer assembly within the housing. The key structural design features a first bearing on the outer diameter of the drive shaft within the elliptical groove at the top of the ball. One end of the drive shaft at the first bearing within the elliptical groove is an eccentric shaft head. The first bearing is encapsulated within the elliptical groove at the top of the ball via a ball cap that fits within the notch of the elliptical groove. This eccentric shaft head structure and the corresponding groove design generate an eccentric torque when the valve is closed, enhancing sealing performance.

[0007] A raised stopper is provided on one side of the top of the sphere on the other side of the stopper rod of the transmission shaft, and the stopper is set on the top of the sphere or the top of the ball cover; when the valve is closed, the output gear rotates through the transmission shaft to drive the ball to rotate, and the stopper rod at the transmission shaft hits the stopper at the sphere or the ball cover, and the valve is completely closed.

[0008] The stopper protrusion is arranged on one side of the notch ring of the elliptical groove at the top of the spherical body and extends out of the notch of one side edge of the spherical cover.

[0009] The utility model has a reasonable structural design and is convenient to use, install and produce. In particular, the valve closing sealing effect is good and the eccentric torque when closing the valve is large and stable. The utility model is suitable for use as a quick-closing ball valve in a gas meter and a structural improvement of similar products. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Implementation Method

[0016] Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the structure and use of the utility model are further described. Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, a ball 2 is provided in the valve body 1 of the ball valve, and the sealing surface on one side of the spherical surface of the ball is sealed against the valve port sealing assembly 15 at the orifice of the channel on one side of the air outlet in the valve body. A ball channel is provided in parallel at the rear of the sealing surface of the ball, and a transmission shaft 5 and a ball head shaft 12 are provided at both ends of the central axis of the top and bottom of the sphere respectively. The transmission shaft extends out of the valve cover 9 on the top of the valve body and the cover seat 8 on the top of the valve cover in turn, and is fixed with an output tooth 6 by a pin. The transmission shaft is fixed to the cover seat by the output tooth limit, and the outer diameter of the transmission shaft in the groove at the top and bottom groove of the valve cover is respectively provided with a second bearing and a third bearing. The rod at one end of the ball head shaft is inserted into the bottom of the sphere, and the ball head at the other end of the ball head shaft is buckled into the ball groove at the bottom of the lower valve body; the transmission shaft at the top of the sphere extends out of the valve body and engages with one of the gears of the reducer assembly through the output tooth, while another gear of the reducer assembly engages with the driving tooth at the motor shaft of the motor, and the output tooth, motor and reducer assembly are arranged in the cover shell 7 of the cover seat at the top of the valve body. A first bearing 3 is provided on the outer diameter of the transmission shaft in the elliptical groove at the top of the sphere. One end of the transmission shaft at the first bearing in the elliptical groove at the top of the sphere is an eccentric shaft head. The first bearing is encapsulated in the elliptical groove at the top of the sphere through the ball cover 10 of the notch at the elliptical groove at the top of the sphere; a tension spring sleeve 14 is provided on the outer diameter of the tension spring sleeve at the bottom of the sphere at the ball head shaft, and a tension spring 11 is provided on the outer diameter of the tension spring sleeve. A convex column 202 is provided on one side of the bottom of the sphere outside the tension spring, and the two ends of the tension spring are respectively fixed with the convex column and the pin 16 on one side of the convex column. The ball head of the ball head shaft is buckled into the ball head sleeve 13 in the bottom ball groove in the lower valve body.

[0017] A protruding stopper 4 is provided on one side of the drive shaft within the valve body above the ball cap. A raised stopper 901 is provided on the bottom side of the valve cap within the valve body, aligned with and at the same height as the stopper. When the valve is open, the output teeth rotate through the drive shaft, driving the ball to rotate. The stopper on the drive shaft hits the stopper rib on the valve cap, fully opening the valve. A raised stopper 201 is provided on the top of the ball, symmetrically on the other side of the stopper on the drive shaft. The stopper is located on the top of the ball. When the valve is closed, the output teeth rotate through the drive shaft, driving the ball to rotate. The stopper on the drive shaft hits the stopper on the ball, fully closing the valve. The stopper protrudes from one side of the notch ring in the elliptical groove at the top of the ball and extends out of the notch on one edge of the ball cap.

[0018] The ball valve operates as follows: the motor drives the reducer assembly, which in turn drives the output gear. The eccentric shaft head of the drive shaft rotates the bearing in the elliptical groove of the ball, causing the ball to move backward and away from the sealing surface. When the output gear rotates 180°, the stopper rod contacts the rib on the valve cover, driving the ball to rotate 90°, fully opening the valve. To close the valve in the reverse order, the stopper rod on the drive shaft contacts the stopper on the ball or the ball cover, fully closing the valve.
