[0002] A ball valve is a type of valve. It is called a ball valve because it has a sphere inside as the main structure for controlling the valve. The outside of the valve ball is connected to a valve stem. When the valve stem is turned, the valve ball can be driven to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the operation of the ball valve.

[0003] At present, in actual use, the existing ball valves are only provided with bellows for the connection between the relevant channels and the ball. However, due to the limited installation area, the installation of the bellows is not stable enough, which in turn affects the connection effect between the branch channel and the surface of the ball, and ultimately causes poor sealing effect. There is also a certain amount of wear between the ball and the valve cover, which affects the service life.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a wear-resistant ball valve to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] A wear-resistant ball valve comprises a valve seat body, the side of the valve seat body being surrounded by a plurality of branch channels, the bottom of the valve seat body being provided with a main channel connected to the plurality of branch channels, a sphere being provided in the middle of the valve seat body to separate the branch channels from the main channel, and a guide channel being provided in the middle of the sphere for connecting one of the branch channels with one of the main channels;

[0008] A bellows is provided in the branch channel, abutment flanges are fixed at both ends of the bellows, and a scraper valve seat is matched at one end of the bellows, and the scraper valve seat is in close contact with the surface of the sphere.

[0009] Optionally, a valve cover is fixed to the top of the valve seat body, a valve stem seat is fixed to the top of the sphere, the top end of the valve stem seat passes through the middle of the upper end surface of the valve cover, and an extension rod is inserted and installed.

[0010] Optionally, the guide channel is an inverted L-shaped structure, and one end opening of the guide channel is docked with one of the multiple branch channels, and the other end opening of the guide channel is always docked with the main channel.

[0011] Optionally, the scraper valve seat is an annular structure adapted to the bellows port, and a scraper portion is provided on a side of the scraper valve seat facing the sphere, and the scraper portion abuts against an outer surface of the sphere.

[0012] Optionally, the lower end sleeve of the valve stem seat is provided with an anti-wear gasket, which is fixed to the upper end surface of the sphere and located at the lower end surface of the valve cover.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In the above scheme, thanks to the setting of the abutting flanges at both ends of the bellows, compared with the simple setting of the bellows in the existing technology, the installation area at both ends can be increased, making the installation of the bellows more stable. Combined with the setting of the scraper valve seat, the branch channel can be tightly connected with the surface of the sphere through the bellows, the abutting flange and the scraper valve seat, and the sealing effect is good.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a wear-resistant ball valve, including a valve seat body 1, wherein a plurality of branch channels 101 are arranged around the side of the valve seat body 1, and a main channel 102 connected to the plurality of branch channels 101 is arranged at the bottom of the valve seat body 1, and a sphere 4 is arranged in the middle of the valve seat body 1 to separate the branch channels 101 and the main channel 102, and a guide channel 401 for connecting one of the branch channels 101 and one of the main channels 102 is opened in the middle of the sphere 4, and a valve cover 2 is fixed on the top of the valve seat body 1, and a valve stem seat 3 is fixed on the top of the sphere 4, and the top end of the valve stem seat 3 passes through the middle of the upper end surface of the valve cover 2, and an extension rod 301 is installed thereon. Specifically, the lower end of the valve stem seat 3 is provided with an anti-wear gasket 5, which is fixed to the upper end surface of the ball 4 and located at the lower end surface of the valve cover 2. The anti-wear gasket 5 can reduce the wear between the ball 4 and the valve cover 2.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the guide channel 401 is an inverted L-shaped structure, and one end opening of the guide channel 401 is docked with one of the multiple branch channels 101, and the other end opening of the guide channel 401 is always docked with the main channel 102, thereby forming a multi-way ball valve. Specifically, in this embodiment, three branch channels 101 are provided.

[0033] Cooperate Figure 4 and Figure 5 The branch channel 101 is shown as being provided with a bellows 6, with abutment flanges 601 fixed to both ends of the bellows 6. A scraper valve seat 7 is fitted at one end of the bellows 6, which is in close contact with the surface of the sphere 4.
