[0002] A ball valve is a common fluid control valve that controls the flow of fluid by rotating the ball. It has the characteristics of simple structure, good sealing, and easy operation, and is used in various fields. However, in actual use, since the ball valve is in a humid, low-temperature, and high-pressure environment for a long time, it is easy to cause the sealing gasket to age, deform, harden, and other damage.
[0003] The sealing gasket is the most frequently repaired and replaced internal part of the ball valve. The sealing gasket is inside the ball valve, and during use, the valve disc is in constant contact and friction with the valve body, which can easily cause the valve disc to wear and cause poor sealing effect. The valve disc needs to be inspected regularly, and the replacement of the sealing ring and valve disc requires disassembling the ball valve. To ensure the sealing effect, the ball valve needs to be connected to the pipeline through a flange, and the flange needs to be reinforced with a large number of screws. When disassembling and assembling the ball valve, the installation and tightening of a large number of screws are time-consuming and laborious.
[0004] Ball valves are prone to wear and tear during use, requiring frequent maintenance and replacement. The valve disc, due to friction from frequent opening and closing, can easily wear out, resulting in poor sealing performance. Regular valve disc inspection and maintenance are necessary. Both gasket replacement and disc inspection require disassembly of the ball valve, requiring the removal and installation of numerous screws, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The positioning block 22 is designed to be in the shape of a groove that is tightly engaged with the valve disc 4. The valve seat sealing ring 23 designed on the outside of the positioning block 22 cooperates to ensure the sealing of the ball valve. When it is necessary to replace the sealing ring and inspect the valve disc 4, it is only necessary to disassemble the valve seat 2 to avoid disassembling the entire ball valve, thereby reducing the workload of maintenance personnel and improving maintenance speed.
[0026] Furthermore, a fixing platform 13 is fixedly provided on the top of the valve housing 11, and a second arc groove 131 is opened on the inner side of the fixing platform 13.

The valve flap sealing ring 42 is tightly abutted against the valve housing 11 and the inner side of the positioning block 22.
[0030] Working principle: The ball valve is installed on the pipeline. When the sealing ring needs to be replaced and the valve disc 4 needs to be repaired, only the valve seat 2 needs to be disassembled.
[0031] First, suspend the use of the pipeline and drain the medium transmitted in the pipeline;
[0032] Then, loosen the connecting bolts 212 plugged into the bottom of the seat plate 21 to separate the valve seat 2 from the valve body 1. Then, remove the valve seat 2, rotate the valve stem 3 to remove the valve disc 4, and then inspect the valve disc 4. At this time, there is no valve disc blocking the valve body 1, which also makes it easier for maintenance personnel to replace the sealing ring.
[0033] Finally, after the inspection is completed, the sealing ring and the valve disc 4 are installed, and finally the valve seat 2 and the valve body 1 are tightly connected using the connecting bolts 212 to complete the inspection.
