Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, specifically to a ball valve with an anti-misoperation structure. Background Technology
[0002] In many industrial fields and various fluid transport systems, ball valves, as a commonly used valve device, play a vital role. They can control the flow and volume of fluids. However, with the continuous development of industrial production and the increasing complexity of application scenarios, traditional ball valves have gradually revealed some problems in actual use that make them difficult to meet modern needs, and they urgently need to be improved.
[0003] Traditional ball valves have a relatively complex operating structure, involving the coordinated action of multiple components and relatively precise operating steps. When adjusting the fluid flow, the operator needs to perform a series of complex operations. This makes it easy for the operator to accidentally touch the valve due to momentary negligence or lack of familiarity with the operating procedure. This may cause the ball to rotate unexpectedly, resulting in a sudden change in fluid flow or the valve to open or close unexpectedly. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, a handle is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the slider, the outer wall of the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the valve body, the bottom of the toothed column is fixedly connected to the top of the ball, the inner wall of the toothed sleeve is in contact with the toothed block at the top of the toothed column, and the toothed sleeve matches the toothed block.
[0007] Preferably, the limiting component includes connecting columns, and the connecting columns are arranged in a circular array along the central axis of the fixing block. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting column, and a reinforcing rib is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the top of the sphere.
[0008] Preferably, a resistance rod is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, and the resistance rod is arranged in a ring along the central axis of the connecting plate. A baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting column. The bottom of the connecting plate is in contact with the top of the fixing ring.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] 1. By setting up a pull component, the operator only needs to turn the handle out and hold it to apply an upward pulling force to drive the slider to slide. Then, by simply rotating the slider, the toothed sleeve and the toothed column are engaged, which can realize the rotation of the ball to adjust the fluid flow. Compared with the operation of some valves with complex structures, the operation of this ball valve is easier for the operator to master, reducing the difficulty of operation, reducing the possibility of misoperation due to unfamiliarity with the operation, and improving work efficiency.

Even when the ball valve is subjected to unexpected external forces such as collisions and vibrations, it can ensure that the valve remains in its current state, preventing accidental fluid leakage or flow control failure due to accidental opening, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the fluid delivery system.

Example
[0019] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a ball valve with an anti-misoperation structure, comprising: a valve body 1, a ball 5 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the valve body 1, a fixing block 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the valve body 1, and a sealing ring 6 snapped into the inner wall of the fixing block 3; a limiting component 4, the outer wall of the limiting component 4 being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ball 5, the limiting component 4 being used to limit the position of the ball 5 by friction; and a pulling component 2, the outer wall of the pulling component 2 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the top of the valve body 1, the pulling component 2 being used to change the position of the ball 5 inside the valve body 1 by rotation; the pulling component 2 includes a sliding... Block 21, the inner wall of slider 21 is fixedly connected to a toothed sleeve 27, the inner wall of toothed sleeve 27 is slidably connected to a toothed column 23, the bottom of slider 21 is slidably connected to a rotating ring 26 through a limiting rod 24, and the outer wall of the limiting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating ring 26. The top of the rotating ring 26 is fixedly connected to a tension spring 25, and the tension spring 25 is arranged in a ring along the central axis of the rotating ring 26. When the operator releases the handle 22, the tension spring 25 releases its elastic potential energy, which will pull slider 21 downward to slide and reset, so that the toothed sleeve 27 and the toothed column 23 return to their initial relative positions, that is, the toothed block on the toothed sleeve 27 and the toothed column 23 separate.
[0020] One end of the tension spring 25 away from the rotating ring 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 21. One end of the limiting rod 24 away from the rotating ring 26 is slidably connected to the bottom of the slider 21 through a fixed cylinder. The outer wall of the toothed column 23 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sealing ring 6. The outer wall of the toothed column 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed block 3. The handle 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the slider 21. The outer wall of the slider 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the valve body 1. The bottom of the toothed column 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the ball 5. The inner wall of the toothed sleeve 27 is in contact with the toothed block at the top of the toothed column 23. Since the toothed sleeve 27 matches the toothed block at the top of the toothed column 23, when the toothed sleeve 27 slides to the toothed block, the toothed sleeve 27 can mesh with the toothed block. It should be noted that if the toothed sleeve 27 and the toothed block cannot mesh directly, simply rotate the slider 21 to adjust the position of the toothed sleeve 27, which will facilitate the meshing of the toothed sleeve 27 with the toothed block.
[0021] The limiting component 4 includes a connecting post 42, which is arranged in a ring along the central axis of the fixing block 3. A connecting plate 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting post 42. A fixing ring 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the ball 5. A resistance rod 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 43, and the resistance rod 45 is arranged in a ring along the central axis of the connecting plate 43. A baffle 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting post 42. The bottom of the connecting plate 43 is in contact with the top of the fixing ring 41. The contact relationship between the connecting plate 43 and the fixing ring 41 will generate a large frictional resistance, which will hinder the rotation of the ball 5 and prevent the ball valve from rotating unexpectedly. The top of the resistance rod 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 3. The outer wall of the connecting plate 43 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the valve body 1. The inner wall of the valve body 1 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the connecting post 42. The outer wall of the baffle 44 is in contact with the top of the slider 21.
[0022] Working principle:
[0023] The entire ball valve is mainly composed of valve body 1, ball 5, fixed block 3, sealing ring 6, limiting component 4, and pulling component 2. The valve body 1, as the main frame of the ball valve, provides the installation foundation and housing space for other components, ensuring that the fluid can flow in the expected way inside and ensuring the sealing of the overall structure. The ball 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the valve body 1. It is the key component for controlling the flow and flow rate of the fluid. The opening, closing or adjustment of the fluid passage is realized by its different rotation positions inside the valve body 1.
[0024] The fixing block 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the valve body 1. Its main function is to provide installation support for other related components and to cooperate with the sealing ring 6 to enhance the sealing of the top area of the valve body 1 and prevent fluid leakage from this part. The limiting component 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ball 5. Its function is to limit the position of the ball 5 in a specific way to prevent the ball 5 from rotating arbitrarily under unexpected circumstances. The pulling component 2 is located on the inner wall of the top of the valve body 1 and is slidably connected to it. It is the operating component that realizes the change of the position of the ball 5 inside the valve body 1. It drives the ball 5 to rotate through a specific action mode, thereby playing a role in preventing accidental opening and regulating the flow state of the fluid.
[0025] The pulling assembly 2 consists of components such as a slider 21, a toothed sleeve 27, a toothed column 23, a limiting rod 24, a rotating ring 26, a tension spring 25, and a handle 22. Its main function is to drive the ball 5 to rotate, changing its position within the valve body 1. When the ball valve needs to be operated to regulate fluid flow, the operator first needs to turn the handle 22, grasp it, and apply an upward pulling force. This causes the slider 21 to slide upward via the handle 22. The inner wall of the slider 21 is fixedly connected to the toothed sleeve 27, and the inner wall of the toothed sleeve 27 is slidably connected to the toothed column 23. The bottom of the toothed column 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the ball 5. During the up-and-down movement of the slider 21, the toothed sleeve 27 moves along with the slider 21. Because the toothed sleeve 27 and the toothed column 23... The top toothed blocks are matched, so when the toothed sleeve 27 slides to the toothed block, the toothed sleeve 27 can mesh with the toothed block. It should be noted that if the toothed sleeve 27 and the toothed block cannot mesh directly, simply rotate the slider 21 to adjust the position of the toothed sleeve 27, which will facilitate the meshing of the toothed sleeve 27 and the toothed block. After the toothed sleeve 27 meshes with the toothed block, the position of the ball 5 can be changed by rotating the slider 21. The rotation of the toothed sleeve 27 will drive the toothed column 23 to rotate through the interaction between the teeth. Since the toothed column 23 is fixedly connected to the ball 5, the rotation of the toothed column 23 will directly drive the ball 5 to rotate in the inner wall of the valve body 1, thereby changing the position of the ball 5 in the valve body 1 and realizing the adjustment of the opening degree of the fluid channel.
[0026] During the up-and-down sliding of slider 21, its bottom is slidably connected to rotating ring 26 via limiting rod 24, and the outer wall of limiting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the top of rotating ring 26. A tension spring 25 is fixedly connected to the top of rotating ring 26, and the tension spring 25 is distributed in a ring array along the central axis of rotating ring 26. The end of tension spring 25 away from rotating ring 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of slider 21. When slider 21 slides upward, it stretches tension spring 25, which stores elastic potential energy. When the operator releases handle 22, tension spring 25 releases elastic potential energy, which pulls slider 21 downward to reset, so that tooth sleeve 27 and tooth post 23 return to their initial relative positions, that is, the toothed blocks on tooth sleeve 27 and tooth post 23 separate, so that the position of ball 5 cannot be directly adjusted, and the operation is delayed until the next operation.
[0027] The limiting component 4 consists of connecting posts 42, connecting plates 43, resistance rods 45, fixing rings 41, and baffles 44. Its main function is to limit the position of the ball 5. The connecting posts 42 are arranged in a ring array along the central axis of the fixing block 3. The bottom of the connecting posts 42 is fixedly connected to the connecting plates 43, and the top of the connecting posts 42 is fixedly connected to the baffles 44. The top of the ball 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing rings 41. The bottom of the connecting plates 43 is in contact with the top of the fixing rings 41. The contact between the connecting plates 43 and the fixing rings 41 limits the rotation of the ball 5.
[0028] Meanwhile, a resistance rod 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 43, and the resistance rod 45 is arranged in a ring array along the central axis of the connecting plate 43. The top of the resistance rod 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed block 3. When the ball 5 is subjected to an unexpected external force and attempts to rotate, such as due to external collisions or vibrations, due to the relationship between the resistance rod 45 and the fixed block 3, as well as the contact relationship between the connecting plate 43 and the fixed ring 41, a large frictional resistance will be generated, which will hinder the rotation of the ball 5, thereby preventing the ball valve from rotating unexpectedly and ensuring the safety and stability of the fluid conveying system. Furthermore, a baffle 44 is fixed to the top of the connecting column 42. Thus, when the slider 21 slides upward and adjusts the position of the ball 5, the slider 21 presses the baffle 44 upward, thereby causing the connecting column 42 on the baffle 44 to drive the connecting plate 43 to slide upward, so that the connecting plate 43 can be separated from the fixed ring 41.
[0029] During the entire operation of the ball valve, the valve body 1, ball 5, fixed block 3, sealing ring 6, limit assembly 4, and pull assembly 2 work together closely. When the ball valve is in normal operation to regulate the fluid flow, the operator rotates the handle 22 of the pull assembly 2, which drives the slider 21 to slide. Then, through the transmission between the toothed sleeve 27 and the toothed column 23, the ball 5 rotates, achieving precise control of the fluid channel. During this process, the tension spring 25 will extend and retract with the sliding of the slider 21, playing an auxiliary role in resetting.
[0030] When the ball valve is in a non-operating state or faces unexpected external interference, the limiting component 4 plays a role. Through the contact between the connecting plate 43 and the fixed ring 41 and the frictional resistance generated by the connection between the resistance rod 45 and the fixed block 3, the rotation of the ball 5 is restricted, preventing the ball valve from being opened accidentally.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
