Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4An antifreeze rotary ball valve includes a protective cover 1 and a support seat 2 fixedly installed at the bottom center of the inner cavity of the protective cover 1. The protective cover 1 has installation ports on its left and right sides respectively. The top of the support seat 2 is fitted with a valve body 3, and connecting pipes 4 are detachably installed at both ends of the support seat 2. A protective tube 5 is detachably installed at the center of the top of the valve body 3. An inner valve stem 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the protective tube 5, extending into the inner cavity of the protective cover 1. The outer side of the inner valve stem 6 is movably installed through the protective cover 1. A rotating component 7 is installed above the top of the protective tube 5. A sealing component 8 is installed on the top of the protective cover 1. The rotating component 7 can rotate the inner valve stem 6 and adjust its height, while the sealing component 8 can work with the protective cover 1 to protect the valve body 3 and prevent freezing.

[0027] Heating blocks A11 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the protective cover 1 near the left and right sides, which can heat the inner cavity of the protective cover 1 and play a role in preventing freezing.

[0028] A turntable 71 is provided at the top of the protective tube 5. A circular groove is opened in the middle of the top of the turntable 71, and a knob 72 is installed in the inner cavity of the circular groove. An outer valve stem 73 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the turntable 71, and the bottom end of the outer valve stem 73 extends into the inner cavity of the protective tube 5. A rectangular groove is opened in the middle of the bottom of the outer valve stem 73, and the outer side of the inner valve stem 6 is slidably installed in the inner cavity of the rectangular groove. A circular opening is opened at the top of the inner cavity of the rectangular groove. A threaded sleeve 74 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the knob 72, and the lower end of the threaded sleeve 74 extends movably through the inner cavity of the circular opening, which can drive the inner valve stem 6 to rotate and flexibly adjust the height of the turntable 71.

[0029] The inner cavity of the threaded sleeve 74 is threaded with a threaded rod 75, one end of which extends into the inner cavity of the rectangular groove, and the lower end of the threaded rod 75 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner valve stem 6.

[0030] Several rotating rods 711 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer side of the turntable 71, which can drive the turntable 71 to rotate.

[0031] In this embodiment: During use, the external pipe can be connected to the connecting pipe 4 through the installation port, allowing liquid to flow and thus enabling the valve body 3 to open and close. When the operator rotates the turntable 71, it can drive the outer valve stem 73 to rotate. When the outer valve stem 73 rotates, it will drive the inner valve stem 6 to rotate through the rectangular groove, thus realizing the opening and closing of the valve body 3. In addition, the height of the turntable 71 can be flexibly adjusted as needed before rotating it. Rotating the knob 72 can drive the threaded sleeve 74 to rotate. When the threaded sleeve 74 rotates, it will drive the inner valve stem 6 to move downward through the threaded rod 75. Since the position of the inner valve stem 6 is fixed, it will drive the outer valve stem 73 to move upward outside the inner valve stem 6, thus adjusting the height. After adjustment, the knob 72 can be stopped.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] This embodiment is an improvement upon embodiment 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-4 The sealing assembly 8 includes a sealing cover 81 that fits onto the top of the protective cover 1 and L-shaped plates 82 located on the left and right sides of the sealing cover 81. The opposite sides of the L-shaped plates 82 are fixedly installed on the protective cover 1, and T-shaped rods 83 are movably installed through the L-shaped plates 82. Slots are opened in the middle of the left and right sides of the sealing cover 81, and the output ends of the T-shaped rods 83 are inserted into the inner cavities of the adjacent slots. The top of the valve body 3 is fixedly installed near the left and right sides, and the top of the snap-fit ​​plates 84 slides through and extends to the outside of the sealing cover 81. They can cooperate with the protective cover 1 to protect the valve body 3 and prevent freezing. They can also be disassembled to facilitate the maintenance of the valve body 3 and improve the performance.

[0034] The top of the sealing cover 81 has slots on the left and right sides. Sliding blocks 85 are attached to the opposite sides of the bottom of the slots. Positioning rods 86 are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the sliding blocks 85. Through openings are opened on the opposite sides of the slots. Positioning grooves are opened on the opposite side of the snap-fit ​​plate 84 near the top. The opposite ends of the positioning rods 86 pass through the adjacent through openings and extend into the inner cavities of the adjacent positioning grooves. Return springs B87 are sleeved on the outer sides of the positioning rods 86. The two ends of the return springs B87 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the adjacent slot cavities and the sliding blocks 85, which can seal the protective cover 1. At the same time, the sealing cover 81 can be disassembled, and the sealing cover 81 and valve body 3 can be snapped and disassembled.

[0035] Return springs A831 are respectively fitted on the outer side of the T-shaped rod 83, and the two ends of the return springs A831 are respectively fixedly installed on the sealing cover 81 and the adjacent L-shaped plate 82, which facilitates the movement and restoration of the T-shaped rod 83.

[0036] Push rods 851 are fixedly installed at the middle of the top of the sliding block 85, and the upper ends of the push rods 851 extend to the outside of the sealing cover 81, which can push the sliding block 85 to move.

[0037] Heating blocks B811 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the sealing cover 81 near the left and right sides, which heats the inner cavity of the protective cover 1 and helps to prevent the valve body 3 from freezing.

[0038] In this embodiment: when the valve body 3 is being maintained, the T-shaped rod 83 can be pulled to the opposite side. The extension of the return spring A831 can drive the T-shaped rod 83 to move to the opposite side, thereby moving it away from the inner cavity of the adjacent slot. At this time, the locking of the sealing cover 81 can be released. Then, the sealing cover 81 can be removed by moving it upward. Then, the push rod 851 can be pushed to the opposite side to drive the adjacent sliding block 85 to move in the opposite direction, thereby driving the positioning rods 86 on both sides to move in the opposite direction. When the positioning rods 86 move in the opposite direction, they will stretch the adjacent return spring B87, thereby driving the positioning rods 86 away from the inner cavity of the adjacent positioning slot.

[0039] Working Principle: During use, the external pipeline can be connected to the connecting pipe 4 through the installation port, allowing liquid to flow and thus enabling the valve body 3 to open and close. When the operator rotates the turntable 71, it drives the outer valve stem 73 to rotate. The rotation of the outer valve stem 73, in turn, drives the inner valve stem 6 to rotate through the rectangular groove, thereby opening and closing the valve body 3. Furthermore, the height of the turntable 71 can be flexibly adjusted before rotation. Rotating the knob 72 drives the threaded sleeve 74 to rotate. When the threaded sleeve 74 rotates, it drives the inner valve stem 6 downward through the threaded rod 75. Since the position of the inner valve stem 6 is fixed, it drives the outer valve stem 73 to move upward outside the inner valve stem 6, thus adjusting the height. After adjustment, rotating the knob 72 can be stopped. When maintaining valve body 3, the T-shaped rod 83 can be pulled to the opposite side. The extension of the return spring A831 can move the T-shaped rod 83 to the opposite side, thus moving it away from the inner cavity of the adjacent slot. At this time, the locking of the sealing cover 81 can be released. Then, the sealing cover 81 can be removed by moving it upward. Then, push the push rod 851 to the opposite side to move the adjacent sliding block 85 in the opposite direction, thereby moving the positioning rods 86 on both sides in the opposite direction. When the positioning rods 86 move in the opposite direction, they will stretch the adjacent return spring B87, thereby moving the positioning rods 86 away from the inner cavity of the adjacent positioning slot. When used at low temperature, the heating blocks A11 and B811 can be used to heat the inside of the protective cover 1, so that the valve body 3 can be kept at a suitable temperature, which is beneficial for its antifreeze.
