Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a top-entry ball valve. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, a ball valve is a valve whose opening and closing parts are driven by the valve stem and rotate around the axis of the ball valve. It can also be used for fluid regulation and control, and is suitable for media containing fibers, tiny solid particles, etc. The eccentric semi-ball valve is a relatively new type of ball valve, widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, urban water supply and drainage and other working conditions that require strict shut-off.
[0003] In the prior art, top-entry ball valves are prone to wear and tear when water is transported in pipelines and when the water flows through the ball valve, impurities may accumulate in the water and adhere to the interior of the ball valve and the valve core. This can affect the sealing performance of the ball valve and hinder its long-term use.
[0004] As a prior art, Chinese patent CN221683748U proposes a top-mounted eccentric semi-ball valve, which filters impurities and dirt in the water flow through a filter screen to prevent impurities and dirt from entering the valve body and attaching to the valve core of the ball valve. When the filter screen is full of impurities and dirt, the valve cover is opened to replace the filter screen. However, in this technical solution, the dirt on the filter screen accumulates relatively quickly, and the sealing cover needs to be opened frequently to replace the filter screen, which is more troublesome. There is no structure for cleaning the filter screen. Moreover, when replacing the filter screen, the dirt will fall into the valve body and is easily brought into contact with the valve core under the influence of water flow, thereby causing wear of the valve core. There is still room for improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a top-entry ball valve to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: a top-loading ball valve comprises a valve body, a valve core arranged in the valve body, and a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel opened on both sides of the valve body, wherein an opening one is provided above the water inlet channel; further comprising a sealing cover for opening or closing the opening one, the sealing cover is connected to the valve body by bolts, a detachable filter assembly is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover, the outer wall of the filter assembly is tightly attached to the inner wall of the water inlet channel, the lower end of the filter assembly is detachably connected to the bottom wall of the water inlet channel, the filter assembly comprises a support ring and an inner net; further comprising a rotating ring rotatably connected to one side of the support ring, a plurality of connecting frames are provided on the inner side of the rotating ring along the circumferential direction, the connecting frame is provided with bristles on the side facing the support ring, a shift rod is provided at the upper end of the connecting frame, the sealing cover is concave upward to form a accommodating portion, the top of the accommodating portion is provided with an opening two, and the upper end of the shift rod is arranged through the opening two; further comprising a connecting cover for opening or closing the opening two.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dirt on the filter screen needs to be cleared, the second opening is opened through the connecting cover to expose the lever, and then the lever is toggled back and forth, so that the rotating ring rotates back and forth on the support ring, thereby driving the bristles on the connecting frame to brush back and forth on the surface of the inner net, thereby brushing off the dirt, avoiding the operation of frequently opening the sealing cover to clean and replace the filter screen. After the brushing is completed, the connecting cover closes the second opening again. The operation is convenient and practical. When the filter screen assembly needs to be replaced, the sealing cover is removed from the valve body, the filter screen assembly and the sealing cover are removed, and a new filter screen assembly is reinstalled.
[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the water inlet channel is provided with a slag discharge port at the bottom of one side of the filter assembly, and the inner wall of the slag discharge port is provided with an internal thread; it also includes a connecting seat, which is provided with an external thread and is threadedly connected to the slag discharge port, and the connecting seat is provided with a slag discharge groove with an opening facing upward.
[0009] With the above technical solution, after the dirt on the inner net is brushed off, it falls into the slag discharge groove of the connecting seat through the slag discharge port and slowly accumulates. When it accumulates to a certain amount, the connecting seat is disassembled and the dirt and impurities are dumped out.
[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, a lower card slot is provided at the bottom of the water inlet channel, an upper card slot is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover, and the upper and lower ends of the filter assembly are respectively connected and fixed by upper and lower card slots.
[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, an annular sliding groove is provided on the surface of the support ring, and the rotating ring is provided with a sliding block which is slidably connected to the sliding groove.
[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the outer wall of the accommodating portion is provided with an external thread, and the connecting cover is provided with a thread groove and is threadedly connected to the accommodating portion.
[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, the cross-section of the slag discharge trough is rectangular, and a check plate arranged downwardly is provided in the slag discharge trough. The upper end of the check plate is rotatably connected to the side wall of one side of the slag discharge trough, and the lower end is abutted against the side wall of the other side of the slag discharge trough. A spring arranged upwardly is fixed to the side wall of the slag discharge trough, and the upper end of the spring is connected to the bottom of the check plate.
[0014] With the above technical solution, when dirt enters the slag discharge trough and falls on the check plate, it slides downward along the check plate. The check plate is pressed downward and deflected downward, thereby separating from the side wall of the slag discharge trough to create a gap. At the same time, the spring is squeezed, and the dirt enters the gap and accumulates at the bottom of the slag discharge trough. The spring restores its elasticity, and the lower end of the check plate abuts against the side wall of the slag discharge trough again, thereby preventing the dirt from flowing back.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the dirt on the filter screen needs to be cleaned, the second opening is opened through the connecting cover to expose the lever, and then the lever is toggled back and forth, so that the rotating ring rotates back and forth on the supporting ring, thereby driving the bristles on the connecting frame to brush back and forth on the surface of the inner net, thereby brushing off the dirt, avoiding the operation of frequently opening the sealing cover to clean and replace the filter screen. After brushing is completed, the connecting cover closes the second opening again, which is convenient to operate and practical. When the filter screen assembly needs to be replaced, the sealing cover is removed from the valve body, the filter screen assembly and the sealing cover are removed, and a new filter screen assembly is reinstalled.
