Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of track ball valves, in particular to a pressure balancing structure for upper and lower cavities of a transmission part in a ball valve. Background Art
[0002] When the valve cavity of a forced-seal ball valve is filled with high-pressure fluid, the up-and-down movement of the valve stem causes the high-pressure fluid to exert upward pressure on the maximum diameter of the valve stem, which can easily cause wear of the valve stem and other contacting parts. In severe cases, it can cause the actuator connection flange to break and the valve stem to "fly out". The conventional solution is to use a stronger welded bracket, which increases manufacturing costs.
[0003] In summary, how to reduce the impact of high-pressure media on the valve stem has become an urgent problem that researchers in this field need to solve. Utility Model Content

The operation of the actuator drives the transmission part and the ball core to rotate up or down, sealing or separating the ball core from the valve seat; a piston effect is formed between the upper chamber, the lower chamber and the transmission part, and the medium flows from the lower chamber. When the ball valve is opened or closed, the high-pressure medium will act upward on the transmission part, and part of the medium enters the upper chamber from the lower chamber through the pressure flow groove, which greatly reduces the upward pressure of the high-pressure medium on the transmission part, reduces the requirements of the bracket and the actuator, and avoids damage to the valve stem or the actuator.
[0008] In order to illustrate how the transmission member is connected to the upper chamber, the present invention adopts a transition fit between the transmission member and the valve cover;
[0009] In this solution, a transmission member is provided in the upper cavity of the valve cover. There is a transition fit between the transmission member and the valve cover, and the gap between the transmission member and the valve cover is very small, thereby ensuring the stability of the transmission member during the up and down rotation movement.
[0010] In order to illustrate the specific structure of the transmission member, the utility model adopts an insertion groove for inserting the end of the valve stem on the top of the transmission member, and an installation groove for installing the ball core is opened upward at the bottom of the transmission member;
[0011] The valve stem and the transmission member can be installed through the insertion groove, and the transmission member and the ball core can be installed through the installation groove.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model is a pressure balancing structure of the upper and lower chambers of the transmission part in the ball valve, and a piston effect is formed between the upper chamber, the lower chamber and the transmission part. The medium flows from the lower chamber. When the ball valve is opened or closed, the high-pressure medium will act upward on the transmission part, and part of the medium enters the upper chamber from the lower chamber through the pressure flow groove, which greatly reduces the upward pressure of the high-pressure medium on the transmission part, reduces the requirements of the bracket and the actuator, and avoids damage to the valve stem or the actuator.
