Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valves, in particular to a ball body of an anti-overpressure sealing ball valve. Background Art

[0002] The ball valve body is the main structural component of the ball valve. Its function is to accommodate the ball and provide an interface for connecting pipes. The ball valve is equipped with a ball, a valve seat, and a flow channel. The ball rotates to control the flow channel. The valve seat can contact the ball to achieve a seal on the flow channel.

[0003] The sealing surface between the valve seat and the ball body will wear out due to friction and erosion of the medium during long-term use, resulting in a gradual decrease in sealing performance. Therefore, in order to improve the sealing between the valve seat and the ball body, a sealing spring is required to compensate for the wear between the valve seat and the ball body based on the elastic force of the sealing spring. However, the sealing spring is prone to fatigue, aging or relaxation during actual use, causing its elastic modulus and elastic recovery ability to weaken, making it unable to compensate for the wear between the valve seat and the ball body. At this time, a new sealing spring needs to be replaced. For the sealing spring set in the ball body, the sealing spring is generally integrated into the ball during production, and the sealing spring cannot be replaced later. During maintenance, a new ball body is directly replaced, resulting in a serious waste of resources. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 and 2 As shown;

[0029] This embodiment discloses a ball valve with an anti-overpressure sealing structure, comprising a ball body 11. The ball body 11 is made of a pressure-resistant material. In this embodiment, the ball body 11 is made of A105 carbon steel, which has excellent mechanical strength and pressure resistance, effectively preventing overpressure. A cavity 12 is defined in the center of the ball body 11. Two through holes 13 are defined within the ball body 11, located in the upper and lower halves thereof, respectively. Both through holes 13 are transversely extending through the ball body 11. Two I-shaped filler blocks 22 are fixedly mounted within the ball body 11 by bolts 21. A first internal threaded hole 31 and a second internal threaded hole 32 are defined within the two I-shaped filler blocks 22 and the ball body 11, respectively, for the corresponding bolts 21 to penetrate.

[0030] A recessed area 23 is defined on both sides of the two I-shaped filler blocks 22. The two I-shaped filler blocks 22 pass through corresponding through-holes 13, respectively. The two recessed areas 23 cooperate with the corresponding through-holes 13 to form two separate active chambers 41 on either side of the I-shaped filler blocks 22. A sealing pressure block 51, an intermediate block 52, and a sealing spring 53 are disposed in each of the two active chambers 41. The sealing spring 53 provides a force for the sealing pressure block 51 to press against the valve seat on the corresponding side through the intermediate block 52. An extrusion assembly is disposed within the spherical body 11 to drive the intermediate block 52 inwardly, thereby pressing the sealing spring 53 and the intermediate block 52 together into the recessed area 23.

[0031] The I-shaped filler block 22 houses a locking assembly that locks the intermediate block 52 squeezed into the recessed area 23. A rubber seal 54 is located on the outside of the sealing block 51. A spacer is formed between the rubber seal 54 and the inner wall of the through-hole 13. Within this spacer is a retaining block 55 secured to the spherical body 11. This retaining block 55 abuts against the sealing block 51 to limit its position.

[0032] Among them, the sealing pressure block 51 and the middle block 52 are provided with notches on the side facing each other, and cooperate to form an expansion inner cavity 61. An inner channel 62 is opened in the spherical body 11 to connect the expansion inner cavity 61 with the second inner screw hole 32. Gas can be injected into the expansion inner cavity 61 through the first inner screw hole 31, and the injected gas can drive the middle block 52 to move inward.

[0033] The middle block 52 and the recessed area 23 are respectively fixedly provided with a first downward extension section 71 and a second downward extension section 72 that can support the sealing spring 53 on one side facing the cavity 12 .

[0034] The two sides of the lower end of the I-shaped filler block 22 are provided with vertical locking holes 81, and the two locking holes 81 are respectively connected to the corresponding recessed areas 23; the locking assembly includes a locking top block 82 slidably arranged in the locking holes 81, and the side of the intermediate block 52 facing the cavity 12 is provided with a locking inner groove 521. When the first lower extension section 71 and the second lower extension section 72 collide, the locking inner groove 521 corresponds to the position of the locking top block 82;

[0035] A connecting block 83 is fixedly provided on the locking top block 82. There is an annular cavity between the connecting block 83 and the inner wall of the locking hole 81. A locking spring 84 connected to the locking top block 82 is provided in the annular cavity. A filling ring seat 85 fixed to the I-shaped filling block 22 is provided in the locking hole 81. The filling ring seat 85 provides support for the locking spring 84. The inside of the filling ring seat 85 is hollow for the connecting block 83 to extend out.

[0036] The locking top block 82 has an oblique push-opening top surface 821 on a side facing the active chamber 41 .

[0037] Among them, a pulling block 86 located in the cavity 12 is fixedly provided on the connecting block 83 .

[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is:

[0039] The installation process of the sealing spring 53 is as follows: when installing the sealing spring 53, the sealing spring 53 is pressed into the recessed area 23, and then the middle block 52 is pressed into the recessed area 23; in the process of the middle block 52 being pressed into the recessed area 23, it will contact the push-open top surface 821, and then the push-open locking top block 82 will continue to be pressed into the recessed area 23 until the first lower extension section 71 and the second lower extension section 72 collide, and the locking inner groove 521 just corresponds to the position of the locking top block 82; at this time, the locking top block 82 will extend into the locking inner groove 521 under the push of the locking spring 84 to achieve locking of the middle block 52. Next, install the I-shaped filling block 22 on the spherical body 11 and fix it with the bolt 21; then, apply force to pull the pulling block 86 to separate the locking top block 82 from the locking inner groove 521; at this time, the intermediate block 52 will move outward under the push of the sealing spring 53 and press on the sealing pressure block 51, and the sealing pressure block 51 will then press against the valve seat on the corresponding side to achieve sealing.

[0040] The process of removing the sealing spring 53 is as follows: unscrew the bolt 21, connect the external gas injection pipe to the first inner screw hole 31 to inject gas, and the gas will enter the expansion inner cavity 61 after passing through the first inner screw hole 31, the second inner screw hole 32 and the inner channel 62 in sequence. After the gas enters the expansion inner cavity 61, it can push the middle block 52 inward, so that the middle block 52 presses the sealing spring 53, so that the middle block 52 and the sealing spring 53 can be squeezed together into the recessed area 23; when the first lower extension section 71 and the second lower extension section 72 collide, the locking top block 82 will extend into the locking inner groove 521 under the push of the locking spring 84 to lock the middle block 52. Finally, directly apply force to pull out the I-shaped filling block 22, that is, the I-shaped filling block 22 and the sealing spring 53 can be removed together, which is very convenient.

[0041] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
