[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a ball valve with good sealing performance includes a valve body 1 and a top cover 3. The top cover 3 is disposed on the valve body 1. Multiple through holes are evenly distributed on the surface of the top cover 3. Bolts 11 are installed in each of the through holes. The threaded portion of the bolts 11 passes through the through holes and screws into a threaded hole at the top of the valve body 1. A spherical groove is formed in the middle of the valve body 1, and a valve core 4 is disposed within the spherical groove. Water inlet and water outlet holes are respectively formed at both ends of the valve body 1, and both the water inlet and water outlet holes communicate with the spherical groove. An end cap 2 is disposed within the water inlet hole, and the end cap 2 is connected to the spherical groove. A first sealing ring 5 is provided at the connection position, and a third sealing ring 7 is provided at the connection between the water outlet and the spherical groove. The valve core 4 has a spherical structure and a connecting hole is provided in the middle of the valve core 4. The connecting hole is opened directly opposite the water inlet and the water outlet. The two ends of the valve core 4 are respectively tightly attached to the side walls of the first sealing ring 5 and the third sealing ring 7 to ensure that the valve core 4 is always in contact with the first sealing ring 5 and the third sealing ring 7 when it rotates, preventing liquid from leaking from the connection between the end cap 2 and the valve core 4, and providing a good sealing effect. A second sealing ring 6 is provided between the end of the end cap 2 away from the valve core 4 and the valve body 1.
[0024] The valve core 4 has a slot at its top, and a valve stem 8 is installed in the slot. An anti-static device 10 is installed on the bottom side wall of the valve stem 8 for protection. The valve body 1 has a circular groove on its top surface, and a fourth sealing ring 9 is installed within the groove. The bottom of the upper cover 3 has an annular groove that presses against the fourth sealing ring 9, effectively preventing liquid leakage through the connection between the valve body 1 and the upper cover 3, resulting in good sealing performance. The upper cover 3 has a mounting hole at its top, and the top of the valve stem 8 passes through the mounting hole and extends above the upper cover 3. The valve stem 8 has a stepped shaft structure. A thrust pad 12 is provided at the connection between the stepped valve stem 8 and the mounting hole of the upper cover 3. The thrust pad 12 is fitted on the outer circumferential surface of the valve stem 8 to prevent the valve stem 8 from sliding upwards too far. An annular groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the valve stem 8, and an annular rubber ring 13 is provided in the annular groove. The annular rubber ring 13 is fitted on the outer circumferential surface of the valve stem 8, and the outer wall of the annular rubber ring 13 is in close contact with the inner wall of the mounting hole of the upper cover 3. The annular rubber ring 13 automatically expands and fits the inner wall of the mounting hole, further sealing the upper cover 3 and preventing liquid from leaking through the mounting hole of the upper cover 3. Through all-round multi-seal, the entire ball valve has strong sealing performance.
[0025] The top of the upper cover 3 has a placement groove, and the bottom of the placement groove has a placement hole. A sealing filler 14 is placed in the placement hole and is fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the valve stem 8. A pressure sleeve 15 is placed on top of the sealing filler 14 and is located in the placement hole and fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the valve stem 8. A butterfly spring 16 is placed in the placement groove and is located on top of the pressure sleeve 15. A pressure plate 17 is also placed in the placement groove and is located on top of the butterfly spring 16 and fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the valve stem 8. The pressure plate 17 is locked and fixed in the placement groove by screws.
[0026] Specifically, the implementation method involves setting a first sealing ring 5 at the connection between the end cap 2 and the spherical groove, and setting a third sealing ring 7 at the connection between the water outlet and the spherical groove. This ensures that the valve core 4 is always in contact with the first sealing ring 5 and the third sealing ring 7 when it rotates, preventing liquid leakage from the connection between the end cap 2 and the valve core 4, resulting in a good sealing effect. A fourth sealing ring 9 is set in the groove of the valve body 1, which effectively prevents liquid leakage through the connection between the valve body 1 and the upper cover 3, resulting in good sealing performance. An annular rubber ring 13 is set in the annular groove of the valve stem 8. The outer wall of the annular rubber ring 13 automatically expands and tightly adheres to the inner wall of the mounting hole of the upper cover 3, further sealing the upper cover 3 and preventing liquid leakage through the mounting hole of the upper cover 3. Through comprehensive and multi-layer sealing, the entire ball valve has a strong sealing performance.
