Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve equipment, specifically a new type of self-cleaning ball valve. Background Technology
[0002] Ball valves were first introduced in the 1950s. With the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of production processes and product structures, ball valves have quickly developed into a major type of valve. In Western countries, the use of ball valves is increasing year by year. In my country, ball valves are widely used in industries such as petroleum refining, long-distance pipelines, chemicals, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, power, municipal engineering, and steel, and occupy a pivotal position in the national economy.
[0003] When ball valves are in use, they are exposed to the external environment for a long time, causing dust and other substances from the external environment to adhere to the outside of the ball valve. This dirt accelerates the corrosion of the ball valve shell, thus reducing the service life of the ball valve. Manual cleaning is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel self-cleaning ball valve to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-cleaning novel ball valve, comprising a ball valve, a fixed post fixedly disposed on the outer side of the ball valve, a fixed ring fixedly disposed on one side of the fixed post, an extension plate fixedly disposed on one side of the fixed ring, a motor fixedly disposed on the top of the extension plate, a movable shaft fixedly disposed at the output end of the motor, the bottom end of the movable shaft being movably embedded in the top end of the lower extension plate, a gear fixedly disposed around the outer side of the movable shaft, a toothed ring movably embedded in the bottom end of the top fixed ring, a toothed ring movably embedded in the top end of the bottom fixed ring, a cleaning plate fixedly disposed on the inner side of the toothed ring, and a brush fixedly attached to one side of the cleaning plate. When in use, the motor is started, driving the movable shaft to rotate, causing the gear to rotate, which in turn causes the toothed ring to rotate on the fixed ring, causing the cleaning plate to rotate with the fixed ring, causing the brush to rotate around the outer side of the ball valve, rubbing and cleaning the outer side of the ball valve, reducing dirt on the outer side of the ball valve, thereby reducing the rate of corrosion on the outer side of the ball valve, extending the service life of the ball valve, and eliminating the need for manual cleaning, saving labor.
[0006] Preferably, the ball valve further includes an operating rod, a rotating shaft, and a ball. The rotating shaft is movably installed inside the ball valve, the ball is fixed at the lower end of the rotating shaft, and the operating rod is fixed at the top end of the rotating shaft. In use, rotating the operating rod will drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the ball to rotate, which facilitates the control of opening and closing the ball valve.
[0007] Preferably, several fixing columns are provided and symmetrically fixed on the upper and lower sides of the ball valve.
[0008] Preferably, two fixing rings are provided, symmetrically fixed on the upper and lower sides of the ball valve.
[0009] Preferably, there are two gears, with the upper and lower gears meshing with the upper and lower gear rings respectively.
[0010] Preferably, one side of the brush is in close contact with the outside of the ball valve.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. In this utility model, the motor drives the movable shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the gear to rotate, thereby driving the gear ring to rotate on the fixed ring. This causes the cleaning plate to rotate with the fixed ring, so that the brush rotates around the outside of the ball valve, rubbing and cleaning the outside of the ball valve, reducing the stains on the outside of the ball valve, thereby reducing the rate of corrosion on the outside of the ball valve, extending the service life of the ball valve, and eliminating the need for manual cleaning, thus saving labor.
[0013] 2. When in use, the rotating shaft can be driven to rotate by turning the operating lever, which in turn drives the ball to rotate, making it convenient to control the opening and closing of the ball valve. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a self-cleaning novel ball valve, including a ball valve 1. A number of fixing posts 3 are welded and fixed to the outer side of the ball valve 1, symmetrically fixed on the upper and lower sides. Two fixing rings 4 are welded and fixed to one side of each fixing post 3, symmetrically fixed on the upper and lower sides of the ball valve 1. An extension plate 5 is welded and fixed to one side of each fixing ring 4. A motor 6 is fixed to the top extension plate 5 via a mounting bracket. A movable shaft 7 is fixed to the output end of the motor 6 via a coupling. The bottom end of the movable shaft 7 is movably embedded in the top end of the lower extension plate 5. Two gears 9 are welded and fixed around the outer side of the movable shaft 7. A gear ring 8 is movably embedded in the bottom end of the top fixing ring 4. A gear ring 8 is movably inlaid at the top of the fixed ring 4. Upper and lower gears 9 mesh with the upper and lower gear rings 8 respectively. A cleaning plate 10 is fixed to the inner side of the gear ring 8 by bolts. A brush 11 is glued to one side of the cleaning plate 10. One side of the brush 11 is in close contact with the outer side of the ball valve 1. When in use, the motor 6 is started, and the motor 6 drives the movable shaft 7 to rotate, which causes the gear 9 to rotate. This causes the gear ring 8 to rotate on the fixed ring 4, which in turn causes the cleaning plate 10 to rotate with the fixed ring 4. This causes the brush 11 to rotate around the outer side of the ball valve 1, rubbing and cleaning the outer side of the ball valve 1, reducing the stains on the outer side of the ball valve 1, thereby reducing the rate of corrosion on the outer side of the ball valve 1, extending the service life of the ball valve 1, and eliminating the need for manual cleaning, thus saving labor.
[0020] The ball valve 1 also includes an operating rod 2, a rotating shaft 12, and a ball 13. The rotating shaft 12 is movably installed inside the ball valve 1, and the ball 13 is welded and fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 12. The operating rod 2 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 12 by bolts. When in use, rotating the operating rod 2 will drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the ball 13 to rotate, making it convenient to control the opening and closing of the ball valve 1.
[0021] Working principle: When in use, the motor 6 is started, which drives the movable shaft 7 to rotate, causing the gear 9 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the gear ring 8 to rotate on the fixed ring 4, causing the cleaning plate 10 to rotate with the fixed ring 4. This causes the brush 11 to rotate around the outside of the ball valve 1, rubbing and cleaning the outside of the ball valve 1, reducing dirt on the outside of the ball valve 1, thereby reducing the rate of corrosion on the outside of the ball valve 1, extending the service life of the ball valve 1, and eliminating the need for manual cleaning, saving labor. When in use, rotating the operating lever 2 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the ball 13 to rotate, making it easy to control the opening and closing of the ball valve 1.
