Ordinary ball valves lack a locking function. When a foreign object hits the valve stem, it causes the ball to rotate, which changes the unstable state of the medium flow.

Method used

The design employs a rod, spring, and drive assembly. The drive assembly controls the movement of the rod within the groove, while the limiting part and spring restrict the rotation of the valve stem and ball, ensuring the stability of the ball valve.

Benefits of technology

It effectively restricts the rotation of the valve stem and ball, ensuring the stability of the ball valve's opening and closing state and preventing changes in the flow state caused by external interference.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the technical scheme of the application can be more easily understood and mastered.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1-3 , the ball valve of the embodiment comprises a valve body 1, a ball 2 installed in the valve body 1, a matching groove 21 opened on the top of the ball 2, a connecting rod 3 matched with the matching groove 21, and a valve rod 31 installed on the connecting rod 3. The connecting rod 3 is rotationally connected to the valve body 1. A nut 35 is threadedly connected to the connecting rod 3, and the nut 35 presses the valve rod 31 against the connecting rod 3.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the ball 2 is provided with a first sliding groove 22, and a plug rod 23 is horizontally slidably connected in the first sliding groove 22. The inner wall of the valve body 1 is provided with two holes 11 matched with the plug rod 23. When the plug rod 23 is inserted into one of the holes 11, the ball valve is in an open state, and when the plug rod 23 is inserted into the other hole 11, the ball valve is in a closed state.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1-4 , one end of the valve rod 31 is bent towards one side of the valve body 1 to form a limiting part 5. The valve body 1 is provided with two limiting blocks 6, and the limiting part 5 is located between the two limiting blocks 6. When the limiting part 5 is rotated to abut against one of the limiting blocks 6, the first sliding groove 22 is aligned with one of the holes 11. When the limiting part 5 is rotated to abut against the other limiting block 6, the first sliding groove 22 is aligned with the other hole 11.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1-3 , a first spring 24 is placed in the first sliding groove 22, and the first spring 24 is located on the side of the plug rod 23 close to the connecting rod 3. One end of the first spring 24 abuts against the plug rod 23, and the other end of the first spring 24 abuts against the bottom wall of the first sliding groove 22. The elastic force of the first spring 24 acts on the plug rod 23, and the first spring 24 is used to press the plug rod 23 against the hole 11.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1-3The connecting rod 3 is provided with a driving assembly 4, which is used for driving the insertion rod 23 to move into the first sliding slot 22. The connecting rod 3 is provided with a second sliding slot 32, and the driving assembly 4 comprises a resisting rod 41 which is slidably connected in the second sliding slot 32 in the vertical direction, a first matching rod 42 which is connected with the insertion rod 23, a first communication hole 43 which is arranged on the ball 2 and is used for communicating the first sliding slot 22 and the matching slot 21, and an avoiding slot 44 which is arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod 3. The top end of the resisting rod 41 extends out of the connecting rod 3, and the bottom end of the resisting rod 41 extends into the avoiding slot 44.

[0035] With reference to Figures 1-3 The first spring 24 is sleeved on the first matching rod 42. The first communication hole 43 is opposite to the avoiding slot 44, the diameter of the first matching rod 42 is smaller than that of the insertion rod 23, one end of the first matching rod 42 which is away from the insertion rod 23 penetrates through the first communication hole 43 and extends into the avoiding slot 44, and the one end of the first matching rod 42 which extends into the avoiding slot 44 is provided with an inclined slot 421, the bottom end of the resisting rod 41 is matched with the inclined slot 421, and the resisting rod 41 abuts against the inclined slot 421 to drive the first matching rod 42 to move into the second sliding slot 32.

[0036] With reference to Figures 1-3 The sidewall of the second sliding slot 32 is provided with a third sliding slot 7 which is located above the avoiding slot 44. The resisting rod 41 is sleeved with an anti-dropping block 411 which is slidably connected in the third sliding slot 7 in the vertical direction. The third sliding slot 7 is provided with a second spring 33 which is located on the side of the anti-dropping block 411 which is close to the avoiding slot 44, and the second spring 33 is sleeved on the resisting rod 41. The elastic force of the second spring 33 acts on the anti-dropping block 411, and the second spring 33 always drives the anti-dropping block 411 to move away from the avoiding slot 44. In the state without external force, the second spring 33 abuts against the sidewall of the third sliding slot 7 which is away from the avoiding slot 44, and the resisting rod 41 abuts against the inclined slot 421.

[0037] With reference to Figures 1-3 One end of the resisting rod 41 which extends out of the connecting rod 3 is provided with a pressing cap 34 which is located on the side of the nut 35 which is away from the valve body 1, and the diameter of the pressing cap 34 is smaller than the inner hole diameter of the nut 35. The middle part of the pressing cap 34 is concave to form an accommodating area 341, and a plurality of anti-skid lines 342 are arranged in the accommodating area 341.

[0038] The operation steps of the ball valve state switching are as follows:

[0039] With reference to Figures 1-3, the initial rotary table lower ball valve is in an open state, wherein the insertion rod 23 is inserted into one of the insertion holes 11, and the limiting portion 5 abuts against one of the limiting blocks 6. When the ball valve needs to be closed, the pressing cap 34 and the abutting rod 41 are first pressed, so that the abutting rod 41 moves downward. Pressing the abutting rod 41 causes the first matching rod 42 to move into the avoiding groove 44, and the first matching rod 42 moving into the avoiding groove 44 causes the insertion rod 23 to slide into the first sliding groove 22, thereby releasing the insertion of the insertion rod 23 into one of the insertion holes 11, and causing the first spring 24 to be compressed under stress. At the same time, the abutting rod 41 moves downward, causing the anti-escape block 411 to move downward, which presses the second spring 33, causing the second spring 33 to be compressed under stress.

[0040] With reference to Figures 1-4 , after the insertion of the insertion rod 23 into one of the insertion holes 11 is released, the valve rod 31 is rotated, causing the limiting portion 5 to move towards the other limiting block 6, and finally abutting against the other limiting block 6. At this time, the first sliding groove 22 moves to be opposite to the other insertion hole 11, and the ball valve is in a closed state. Then, the pressing cap 34 is released to cancel the pressing of the abutting rod 41. After the pressing of the abutting rod 41 is cancelled, the first spring 24 and the second spring 33 rebound. When the first spring 24 rebounds, it drives the insertion rod 23 to move into the other insertion hole 11, thereby limiting the rotation of the ball 2 and the valve rod 31. Even if an external object collides with the valve rod 31, the valve rod 31 will not rotate.

[0041] With reference to Figures 1-4 , when the insertion rod 23 moves into the insertion hole 11, the first matching rod 42 moves into the first sliding groove 22, and the first matching rod 42 moving into the first sliding groove 22 drives the abutting rod 41 to move upward and reset through the inclined groove 421. The rebound of the second spring 33 drives the anti-escape block 411 and the abutting rod 41 to move and reset, and under the influence of the two reset forces, the abutting rod 41 moves and resets on the wall.

[0042] Of course, the above is only a typical example of the present application, and in addition to this, the present application can have other various specific embodiments, and any technical solution formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the scope of the present application.
