Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of ball valves, in particular to a compact ball valve with built-in multiple sealing units. Background Art

[0002] A ball valve is a common type of valve. Its opening and closing member (ball) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the ball valve axis to open or close the fluid. The inner cavity of the valve body is spherical, and the valve core is also set to be spherical. A channel is opened on the valve core. As the valve core rotates, the channel rotates to the open or closed position, thereby opening or closing the fluid. Regular cleaning, greasing and inspection of the ball valve are key to ensuring its normal operation. During maintenance, care should be taken to avoid contamination or adhesion of impurities such as metal debris, fiber, grease, etc. on the surface of the parts. However, the following defects still exist:

[0003] The ball valve only achieves sealing through the close contact between the valve body and the valve core. When the ball valve is used for a long time, the valve core may be deformed, which will increase the gap between the valve body and the valve core, resulting in poor sealing effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides a compact ball valve with built-in multiple sealing units, which effectively solves the problem that the ball valve only achieves sealing through the close contact between the valve body and the valve core, resulting in poor sealing effect in the later stage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a compact ball valve with a built-in multiple sealing unit, comprising a spherical valve body, connecting pipes symmetrically mounted at the top and bottom ends of the spherical valve body, a ball valve assembly mounted inside the spherical valve body, and an auxiliary sealing assembly mounted on the connecting pipe;

[0006] The ball valve assembly includes a spherical valve core rotatably mounted in the spherical inner cavity of the spherical valve body, and the outer wall of the spherical valve core is in close contact with the inner wall of the spherical valve body;

A gate is slidably installed inside the plate box. The outer wall of the gate is in close contact with the inner wall of the plate box. The two gates seal the two connecting pipes respectively.

[0008] Preferably, the ball valve assembly further comprises a fixed sleeve fixedly mounted on the front of the spherical valve body, a rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the front of the spherical valve core, the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted inside the fixed sleeve, and a turning handle is fixedly mounted on the end of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, a first card slot and a second card slot are provided on the outer wall of the fixing sleeve, and the angle between the first card slot and the second card slot is ninety degrees.

When the clamping rod is engaged with the first clamping slot, the upper and lower connecting tubes are connected. When the clamping rod is engaged with the second clamping slot, the upper and lower connecting tubes are closed by the fixing sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary sealing assembly further comprises connecting rods respectively mounted on both sides of the gate plate, the connecting rods extending to the outside of the plate box, connecting plates fixedly mounted on the ends of the connecting rods, and tooth plates fixedly mounted on the connecting plates.

When the ball valve core rotates 90 degrees, the channel is in the transverse state, closing the connecting pipe. At the same time, the upper and lower gates move transversely to seal the connecting pipe, forming a multiple seal to improve the sealing effect.

[0015] During operation, a gear is installed on the rotating shaft, and tooth plates are meshed and connected on the upper and lower sides of the gear.

When the clamping rod 307 is clamped with the second slot 305, the upper and lower connecting tubes 2 are closed by the fixed sleeve 302.

[0028] The auxiliary sealing assembly 4 includes a plate box 401 symmetrically mounted on the two connecting pipes 2, the plate box 401 is connected to the connecting pipe 2, and a gate 402 is slidably mounted inside the plate box 401. When the channel on the ball valve core 301 is in a longitudinal state, the gate 402 is located in a position where the connecting pipe 2 does not overlap. When the ball valve core 301 rotates ninety degrees, the channel is in a horizontal state, closing the connecting pipe 2. At the same time, the upper and lower gates 402 move horizontally to seal the connecting pipe 2, forming a multiple seal to improve the sealing effect. The outer wall of the gate 402 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the plate box 401, and the two gates 402 respectively seal the two connecting pipes 2. The auxiliary sealing assembly 4 also includes connecting rods 403 respectively mounted on both sides of the gate 402.
