[0002] Ultra-low temperature fixed ball valve is a new generation of high-performance ball valve, suitable for long-distance pipelines and general industrial pipelines. Its strength, safety, and resistance to harsh environments were specially considered during design, and it is suitable for various corrosive and non-corrosive media.
[0003] After the ball valve of the prior art is closed after use, the transported liquid is likely to remain in the internal channel of the ball valve. When the temperature is low, the liquid inside is likely to freeze. When the ball valve is opened again, these ice cubes are likely to scratch the sealing ring inside the ball valve, which will easily reduce the service life of the ball valve. Utility Model Content

At this time, the staff presses the fixed plate, and the fixed plate moves with the fixed tube toward the inside of the sphere. Finally, the reserved hole on the fixed tube enters the inside of the sphere, and the spring contracts. The residual liquid inside the sphere enters the inside of the fixed tube through the reserved hole, and finally is discharged to the outside of the valve body through the discharge pipe. After that, the staff loosens the fixed plate, and under the action of the spring return force, the reserved hole on the fixed tube fits with the valve body, achieving the effect of sealing between the fixed tube and the sphere. The protective device achieves the effect of discharging the residual water stains inside the sphere, thereby preventing the residual water from freezing in a cold environment, thereby affecting the service life of the valve body.
[0007] Preferably, a plurality of anti-slip strips are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate, and the plurality of anti-slip strips are linearly distributed.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is: by providing the anti-slip strips, the friction between the staff's hands and the fixed plate is increased, making it easier for the staff to press the fixed plate.
[0009] Preferably, a telescopic rod is provided inside the spring, and two ends of the telescopic rod are fixedly connected to the valve body and the fixing plate respectively.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is: when the valve stem needs to be moved, the staff moves the guide plate through the pull rod, the guide plate moves in the guide tube, and the total length between the guide plate and the guide tube becomes longer. At this time, the staff rotates the pull rod again, and the auxiliary device is used to achieve the effect of changing the total length between the guide plate and the guide tube, thereby increasing the force arm of the valve stem, making it easier for the staff to operate the valve stem.
[0015] Preferably, a second magnet is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the guide plate, and a first magnet is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the guide tube. The first magnet and the second magnet attract each other.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that the anti-slip sleeve makes it easier for workers to move the pull rod, bringing convenience to the workers.
[0019] Preferably, both sides of the guide plate are fixedly connected to limit blocks, and limit holes are provided on the guide tube corresponding to the limit blocks, and the limit blocks are slidably fitted in the limit holes.
[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is: by the limit block moving in the limit hole, the moving direction of the guide plate is limited, thereby preventing the guide plate from rotating.
[0021] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0022] When the valve body is not needed, the staff rotates the ball through the valve stem to close the valve body. At this time, the staff presses the fixed plate, and the fixed plate moves the fixed tube toward the inside of the ball. Finally, the reserved hole on the fixed tube enters the inside of the ball, and the spring contracts. The residual liquid inside the ball enters the inside of the fixed tube through the reserved hole, and finally is discharged to the outside of the valve body through the discharge pipe. After that, the staff loosens the fixed plate, and under the action of the spring return force, the reserved hole on the fixed tube fits with the valve body, achieving the effect of sealing between the fixed tube and the ball. The protective device achieves the effect of discharging the residual water stains inside the ball, avoiding the residual water from freezing in a cold environment, thereby affecting the service life of the valve body.

[0033] Working principle: When the valve body 1 is not needed, the staff rotates the ball 2 through the valve stem 3, and the valve body 1 is closed. At this time, the staff presses the fixing plate 43 through the anti-slip strip 49, and the fixing plate 43 moves with the fixing tube 41 toward the inside of the ball 2. The sealing ring 47 on the valve body 1 moves in the limit groove 48 on the fixing tube 41 to achieve the effect of sealing the gap between the valve body 1 and the fixing tube 41. Finally, the reserved hole 42 on the fixing tube 41 enters the interior of the ball 2, and the spring 44 and the telescopic rod 46 contract, and the ball 2 The residual liquid inside enters the interior of the fixed tube 41 through the reserved hole 42, and is finally discharged to the outside of the valve body 1 through the discharge pipe 45.

At this time, the staff rotates the pull rod 53 again, and finally the staff releases the pull rod 53. Under the action of the mutual attraction between the first magnet 55 and the second magnet 56, the guide plate 52 enters the interior of the guide tube 51, and the auxiliary device 5 is used to achieve the effect of changing the total length between the guide plate 52 and the guide tube 51, thereby increasing the force arm of the valve stem 3, making it convenient for the staff to operate the valve stem 3.
