[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] This embodiment proposes a subcritical unit water supply ball valve structure, including valve body 1, valve ball 9, thrust ring 12 and metal sealing ring 14;
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the valve body 1 is integrally formed. The integrally formed valve body 1 can reduce the use of seals and avoid internal leakage of the valve due to aging of the seals.
[0027] The valve body 1 has a valve cavity 2 inside, and a mounting hole 3 is provided at the upper end of the valve body 1. A valve stem 4 is provided in the mounting hole 3, and the lower end of the valve stem 4 extends into the valve cavity 2. The valve stem 4 is used to control the rotation of the valve ball 9.
[0028] A sealing packing 5 is provided between the valve stem 4 and the side wall of the mounting hole 3. A packing gland 6 is provided at the upper end of the valve body 1. A packing ring 7 is provided between the packing gland 6 and the sealing packing 5. The sealing packing 5 prevents the medium from leaking between the valve stem 4 and the valve body 1, and the packing ring 7 prevents the packing from running out.
[0029] A fixed valve seat 8 is provided on one side of the valve body 1, and the fixed valve seat 8 plays a role in fixing the valve ball;
[0030] The upper end of the valve ball 9 is connected to the valve stem 4. One side of the valve ball 9 can cooperate with the fixed valve seat 8. The valve cavity 2 on the other side of the valve ball 9 is provided with a floating valve seat 10 that can cooperate with the valve ball 9. A compensating disc spring 11 is provided between the floating valve seat 10 and the valve body 1. The presence of the compensating disc spring 11 and the floating valve seat 10 makes the valve ball 9 a floating structure.
[0031] A limiting groove 13 is provided on the top wall of the valve cavity 2 at the lower end of the mounting hole 3. A thrust ring 12 that can cooperate with the limiting groove 13 is provided at the lower end of the valve stem 4. The thrust ring 12 prevents the valve stem 4 from running out of the valve body 1.
[0032] The metal sealing ring 14 is clamped between the valve body 1 and the fixed valve seat 8. The surface of the metal sealing ring 14 is gold-plated. Since gold is a highly stable metal, it is easy to soften at high temperatures, so it is easier to seal between metals through gold.
[0033] Furthermore, a pressure spring 15 is provided between the packing ring 7 and the packing cap 6. The pressure spring 15 is used to press the packing ring 7 tightly and has a certain compensation effect.
[0034] Furthermore, the packing gland 6 is connected to the valve body 1 via a connector 16, which is a connecting bolt, facilitating installation and disassembly.
[0035] Furthermore, a connecting hole 17 is provided on one side of the valve body 1, and a fixing hole 18 corresponding to the connecting hole 17 is provided on the fixed valve seat 8. The connecting hole 17 is a threaded hole, and connecting bolts can be installed in the connecting hole 17 and the fixing hole 18 to fix the valve body 1 and the fixed valve seat 8.
[0036] Furthermore, a fixing groove 19 is provided at the lower end of the valve stem 4, and the thrust ring is fitted into the fixing groove 19.
[0037] Furthermore, the lower end of the valve stem 4 is provided with a connecting square post 20, and the upper end of the valve ball 9 is provided with a connecting square hole 21 that can cooperate with the connecting square post 20, and the connecting square post 20 is inserted into the connecting square hole 21.
[0038] Furthermore, the metal sealing ring 14 has inwardly contracting inclined surfaces 22 on both sides, and the valve body 1 and the fixed valve seat 8 have chamfers 23 that can cooperate with the inclined surfaces 22. The cooperation between the inclined surfaces 22 and the chamfers 23 makes the sealing effect better.
[0039] Furthermore, the valve body 1 is provided with a first pipe joint 24 for connecting to an external pipe; the fixed valve seat 8 is provided with a second pipe joint 25 for connecting to an external pipe, and the first pipe joint 24 and the second pipe joint 25 facilitate the connection of the valve to the external pipe.
[0040] Working principle: This utility model reduces the number of internal valve seals by using an integrated valve body 1, and adds a metal sealing ring 14 between the valve body 1 and the fixed valve seat 8 to improve the overall sealing effect of the valve. This ensures that there are no other soft sealing structures besides the sealing packing at the valve, thus avoiding the problem of easy aging of the internal seal of the valve.
[0041] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary models used to illustrate the principles of this utility model, and this utility model is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
