Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a ball valve, in particular to a multi-sealed bellows ball valve. Background Art
[0002] A ball valve is a valve whose opening and closing member (ball) is driven by a valve stem and rotates around the valve axis. There are generally manual, pneumatic, or electric ways to open a ball valve. However, no matter how the ball valve is opened, it is necessary to use a power member to drive the valve stem to rotate, and then drive the valve core to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of opening and closing the ball valve. However, for existing ball valves, the sealing performance is usually only considered to be the quality of the sealing ring on the valve seat. In fact, the sealing performance of the valve stem is also very important. Traditional ball valves are filled with packing at the valve stem to seal and isolate the valve stem from the outside world. However, after long-term use of the valve stem, the packing at the valve stem will wear (the packing at the valve stem is a dynamic seal), and the sealing performance will be reduced. In a high-pressure medium environment, it is easy for the medium to leak from the valve stem, posing a safety hazard.

The valve body is characterized in that the flow channel is cylindrical, the center of which is a cavity, and the upper part is fixedly connected to the double stuffing box. The valve body and the double stuffing box are connected by a stuffing box screw. The double stuffing box is provided with a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the double stuffing box by a pin and a connecting plate screw. A valve stem is provided in the center of the valve body, and the valve stem passes through the connecting plate and the double stuffing box. A DU composite bearing III is provided between the valve stem and the connecting plate. A ball is installed in the valve body, the top of the ball is connected to the valve stem, and a DU is provided between the valve stem and the double stuffing box. Composite bearing II, DU composite bearing I is provided between the duplex stuffing box and the ball, the valve body is connected to the connector through the valve body nut and valve body stud, a valve seat is provided between the connector and the ball, a sealing seat is provided between the valve seat and the ball, the fixed shaft is connected to the valve body through the fixed shaft screw, and the valve body is provided with a valve seat emergency injection valve, a valve stem emergency injection valve, and a relief valve; the ball valve has poor sealing performance at the valve stem, and the medium is likely to leak from the valve stem after long-term use, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

Moreover, when the sealing ring is worn, the valve seat can be pressed to move by the compression spring, so as to compensate for the position of the sealing ring, thereby increasing the service life of the sealing ring and avoiding the problem of increased maintenance costs caused by frequent replacement of sealing rings. The role of the first circular ring block and the first O-ring here is to play a single seal. The role of the bellows here is to play a multiple seal role, so that the medium cannot leak out through the valve stem. The role of the second circular ring block and the first O-ring here is to play a triple seal role. The role of the packing here is to play a quadruple seal role. The role of the top seat, the first thrust bearing, the second thrust bearing, the first gasket, the threaded section, the second gasket and the nut here is to ensure The valve stem is installed in the cylindrical tube and cannot move longitudinally, but can be rotated with little effort; the function of the valve stem here is to drive the valve core to rotate; the function of the prying rod here is to drive the valve core to rotate with little effort; the function of the nut and the plug here is to ensure that the prying rod is fixed on the valve stem, and when the prying rod rotates, the valve stem is driven by the plug to rotate the whole valve stem, thereby driving the valve core to rotate; the function of the recess and the third thrust bearing here is to support the valve core longitudinally, thereby avoiding excessive weight of the valve core acting on the lower side of the sealing ring, thereby avoiding the sealing ring on the lower side of the sealing ring from wearing too quickly and needing to be replaced frequently, which can greatly increase the service life of the sealing ring and reduce maintenance costs. Moreover, the longitudinal support of the valve core can also greatly reduce the friction resistance encountered by the valve core when it rotates, thereby facilitating the rapid opening and closing operation of the ball valve by the prying rod.

The dovetail block, dovetail groove, and second O-ring are used to prevent the medium from coming into contact with the compression spring, thereby preventing the compression spring from corroding too quickly and losing its elasticity. This can greatly extend the service life of the compression spring and avoid the problem of increased operating costs caused by frequent replacement and maintenance.
[0008] As a further improvement, a second self-lubricating layer is provided on the outer contour of the dovetail block. The function of the second self-lubricating layer is to reduce frictional resistance when the valve seat moves, making the movement smoother. The second self-lubricating layer is made of tin bronze.

[0010] To further improve the system, a limit plate is fixed to the lever, and a pair of fully closed and fully open limit blocks are fixed to the cylinder at a 90° angle. The limit plate, fully closed and fully open limit blocks are used to determine the fully open and fully closed positions of the valve core, preventing the valve core from opening too far or too far.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0012] 1) Through the valve seat, sealing ring, and compression spring, the sealing ring can be pressed against the valve core spherical surface by the compression spring, thereby preventing the medium from leaking. Moreover, when the sealing ring is worn, the compression spring can also press the valve seat to move, thereby compensating the position of the sealing ring, thereby increasing the service life of the sealing ring and avoiding the problem of increased maintenance costs caused by frequent replacement of the sealing ring.
[0013] 2) The first annular block and the first O-ring provide a single seal; the bellows provide multiple seals, preventing the medium from leaking out through the valve stem; the second annular block and the first O-ring provide a triple seal; and the packing provides a quadruple seal.
