[0012] Preferably, the valve rod top is fixedly connected with a worm gear, and the outer side of the worm gear is engaged with four worm gears which are symmetrically distributed in rotation, and the end of each worm gear is fixedly connected with a first bevel gear.

[0013] Preferably, the first bevel gear top side is engaged with a second bevel gear, the second bevel gear top is fixedly connected with a driven gear, and the inner side of the four driven gears is engaged with a switch assembly.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1- Figure 7 , the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0029] A high-pressure resistant ball valve comprises a valve body 1 and a flange 2, wherein the flange 2 is fixedly connected to the outer sides of both ends of the valve body 1, and a sealing ring 3 is fixedly connected to both ends of the valve body 1, and the sealing ring 3 is located on the inner side of the flange 2;

[0030] Rotationally symmetrical flow guides 4 are provided on both sides of the valve body 1, and the flow guide 4 has an input end and two output ends. A slide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the input end of the flow guide 4, and a sealing ring 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the input end of the flow guide 4. A sealing ball 7 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod 5, and a spring 8 is fixedly connected between the sealing ball 7 and the end of the slide rod 5 away from the sealing ring 6, and the spring 8 is located on the outside of the slide rod 5.

[0031] Two symmetrically distributed mounting rings 9 are fixedly connected to the middle of the valve body 1 , and a gasket 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the two mounting rings 9 close to each other, and the gasket 10 is made of silicone material.

[0032] The gasket 10 is a hollow structure made of rubber material, and symmetrically distributed connecting pipes 11 are provided on both sides of the gasket 10. The connecting pipes 11 are snap-connected to the inside of the output end of the guide channel 4, and the two output ends of the two guide channels 4 are respectively connected to the two connecting pipes 11, and the input end of the guide channel 4 is connected to the two ends of the inner side of the valve body 1.

[0033] A mounting box 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the valve body 1 , and a ball core 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the valve body 1 . A valve stem 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the ball core 13 , and the valve stem 14 extends to the middle of the inside of the mounting box 12 .

[0034] A worm gear 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem 14 , and four rotationally symmetrically distributed worms 16 are meshed on the outside of the worm gear 15 , and a first bevel gear 17 is fixedly connected to the end of each worm gear 16 .

[0035] A second bevel gear 18 is meshed with one side of the top of the first bevel gear 17 , and a driven gear 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the second bevel gear 18 . The switch assembly 20 is meshed with the inner sides of the four driven gears 19 .

[0036] The switch assembly 20 includes a rotating handle and a gear, and the outer side of the gear is engaged with the inner side of the driven gear 19, and the rotating handle extends to the top of the mounting box 12. At the same time, the worm gear 15, the worm 16, the first bevel gear 17, the second bevel gear 18 and the driven gear 19 are all rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting box 12.

[0037] Example 2: Based on Example 1, its specific working principle is as follows:

[0038] This high-pressure resistant ball valve is installed in a pipeline through the flanges 2 at both ends of the valve body 1. At this time, the sealing ring 3 will be located between the valve body 1 and the pipeline to form a sealing structure, and then the ball valve is installed in the pipeline as a whole. By rotating the switch assembly 20, the ball core 13 is driven to rotate in the middle of the inner side of the valve body 1, thereby realizing the opening and closing state of the valve body 1 controlled by the ball core 13;

[0039] When the internal flow channel of the ball core 13 is parallel to the valve body 1, the ball valve is in an open state. The high-pressure fluid inside the valve body 1 will enter the interior through the input end of the flow guide channel 4, and through the mutual connection between the output end of the flow guide channel 4 and the connecting pipe 11, and then the high-pressure fluid will be introduced into the gasket 10. The inner side of the gasket 10 is set as a hollow structure, and the gasket 10 and the mounting ring 9 form a sealed annular space inside the gasket 10. At this time, the high-pressure fluid will enter the gasket 10, so that the inside of the gasket 10 is supported by the high liquid. The gasket 10 itself will be deformed, so that the gasket 10 and the two sides of the ball core 13 fit more tightly. Compared with the pressure applied by the spring, it is not easy to corrode, and the replacement frequency is low, which extends the service life of the ball valve.

[0040] When the internal flow channel of the ball core 13 is perpendicular to the valve body 1, the ball valve is in a closed state. There is still fluid at the input end of the high-pressure fluid inside the valve body 1. At this time, the high-pressure fluid will enter the gasket 10 through the flow guide 4. When the high-pressure fluid passes through the input end of the flow guide 4, it will push the sealing ball 7 to slide on the outside of the slide rod 5, causing the slide rod 5 to compress the spring 8, thereby separating the spring 8 and the sealing ring 6 from each other. At this time, the input end of the flow guide 4 is in an open state, thereby introducing the high-pressure fluid into it.

[0041] Since the two flow guide channels 4 are rotationally symmetrically distributed, when the valve body is in the closed state, only one of the output ends of the two flow guide channels 4 can enter the high-pressure fluid, and the high-pressure fluid entering the gasket 10 will enter the flow guide channel 4 through the connecting pipe 11 and the output end of the flow guide channel 4. When the direction of the fluid in the flow guide channel 4 is from the output end to the input end, the fluid will drive the spring 8 to approach the sealing ring 6 and contact with it to form a sealing structure, thereby preventing the fluid in the flow guide channel 4 from backflowing and affecting the function of the ball valve;

[0042] In the process of the switch assembly 20 driving the ball core 13 to rotate, the gear at its bottom drives the driven gear 19 on its outside to rotate. At this time, the driven gear 19 will drive the four first bevel teeth 17 and the four worms 16 to rotate synchronously in the same direction through the second bevel gear 18 at its bottom. In the process of the rotation of the worm 16, the worm wheel 15 will be driven to rotate, so that the worm wheel 15 drives the valve stem 14 to rotate to realize the rotation of the ball core 13 inside the valve body 1. When the internal flow channel of the ball core 13 is not parallel or perpendicular to the valve body 1, the direction of the ball core 13 is not in the same direction as the flow direction of the fluid. In a straight line, the fluid inside the ball core 13 will impact the flow channel inside it, thereby applying a rotational force to the ball core 13. The top of the ball core 13 is driven by the valve stem 14 and the worm gear 15, and the worm gear 15 and the worm 16 are self-locking. The rotational force on the ball core 13 will be transmitted to the meshing point of the worm gear 15 and the worm 16, and the rotational force on the ball core 13 will be dispersed by the multiple worm gears 16 outside the worm gear 15, so that the pressure on each meshing point of the worm gear 16 and the worm gear 15 is distributed, thereby preventing the ball core 13 from being subjected to high pressure and causing damage to the internal parts of the ball valve.
