Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, specifically to a ball valve designed to prevent accidental opening. Background Technology

[0002] A ball valve is a valve in which the valve stem drives the valve to rotate around the ball valve axis. It can also be used for fluid regulation and control. Among them, the hard-seal V-type ball valve has a strong shearing force between the V-shaped ball core and the metal valve seat with hard alloy overlay, making it particularly suitable for media containing fibers, small solid particles, etc. Multi-port ball valves can not only flexibly control the merging, splitting and switching of the flow direction of the media in the pipeline, but also close any channel and connect the other two channels.

[0003] Traditional ball valves, in order to prevent accidental opening, mostly use a locking pin to lock the valve stem. This requires repeatedly opening and closing the locking pin every time the valve changes its operating state. This method of preventing accidental opening is cumbersome and reduces the efficiency of opening or closing the ball valve, thus failing to meet customer needs. Therefore, we propose an anti-accidental opening ball valve to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] In this embodiment: the present invention, by setting valve body 1 and valve stem 2, can jointly construct a ball valve. By setting positioning tube 3, movable cylinder 4, positioning disc 5, positioning block 6, limiting groove 7, limiting block 11 and spring 12, the valve stem 2 can be easily pressed, positioned and rotated to achieve the effect of preventing accidental opening. By setting through groove 8, air bag 9 and whistle 10, the limiting groove 7 and limiting block 11 can be pressed and inserted to provide an audible warning, further achieving the effect of preventing accidental opening. With the above structure, the ball valve has the advantage of being easy to use and preventing accidental opening, which solves the problem of traditional ball valves being inconvenient to use and prevent accidental opening, thus meeting the needs of customers.

[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the top of the movable cylinder 4 is provided with a through hole 13 for use with the whistle 10, and the whistle 10 is located in the inner cavity of the through hole 13.

[0023] In this embodiment, by providing a through hole 13, the sound of the whistle 10 can be easily transmitted.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a rotating handle 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the movable cylinder 4, and the outer surface of the rotating handle 14 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0025] In this embodiment, by setting the handle 14 and the anti-slip texture, it is convenient for the staff to press and rotate the movable cylinder 4 to move.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer surface of the movable cylinder 4 is tightly fitted to the connection of the positioning tube 3, and the bottom of the airbag 9 extends into the inner cavity of the limiting groove 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, by setting the bottom of the airbag 9 to extend into the inner cavity of the limiting groove 7, the limiting block 11 can easily squeeze the airbag 9.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, flanges 15 are provided on both the left and right sides of the valve body 1, and the flanges 15 and the valve body 1 are welded together.

[0029] In this embodiment: by setting flange 15, the valve body 1 can be easily installed with external pipelines.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the limiting groove 7 is hexagonal and the limiting block 11 is hexagonal.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the connection of the positioning plate 5, and the top of the spring 12 is tightly fitted to the connection of the movable cylinder 4.

[0032] Working principle: When the ball valve is in the closed or open position, when the handle 14 is rotated by an external force, the handle 14 drives the movable cylinder 4 to rotate on the outer surface of the positioning tube 3, so that the movable cylinder 4 will not drive the valve stem 2 to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of preventing the ball valve from being opened by accident. At the same time, when the handle 14 is pressed down by an external force, the handle 14 drives the movable cylinder 4 to slide down on the outer surface of the positioning tube 3 to compress the spring 12. At the same time, the movable cylinder 4 drives the positioning block 6 to move down, so that the limiting block 11 inserts into the inner cavity of the limiting groove 7 to compress the airbag 9. At the same time, when the airbag 9 is compressed, it blows air onto the whistle 10, thereby making the whistle 10 sound an alarm, which further achieves the effect of preventing the ball valve from being opened by accident, as well as providing compression protection for the ball valve.

[0033] When the ball valve needs to be opened or closed, the operator presses down on the adjustment handle 14, causing the handle 14 to move the movable cylinder 4 downward on the outer surface of the positioning tube 3, compressing the spring 12. At the same time, the movable cylinder 4 moves the positioning block 6 downward, aligning the limit block 11 with the limit groove 7. Simultaneously, the limit block 11 inserts into the inner cavity of the limit groove 7, compressing the airbag 9. When the airbag 9 is compressed, it blows air into the whistle 10, causing the whistle 10 to sound an alarm, allowing the operator to notice that the limit block 11 and the limit groove 7 have been successfully connected. Then, the operator rotates the handle 14, causing the handle 14 to rotate the movable cylinder 4, which in turn rotates the positioning block 6. The positioning block 6 then rotates the limit block 11, causing the limit block 11 to rotate the valve stem 2. This allows the valve stem 2 and the valve body 1 to work together to open and close the ball valve. This device is simple to operate and easy to use to prevent accidental opening, thus meeting the needs of customers.
