The design of the fireproof rope in the valve seat component abuts against the valve body, and through the material high-temperature resistance characteristics and the structure design, the fireproof rope can effectively prevent the flame or high-temperature gas from spreading along the sealing part in the fire or high-temperature environment, and improve the fireproof ability of the ball valve. The fireproof rope not only has the fireproof function, but also can block the dust and particulate matter from entering the inside of the valve seat component to a certain extent, reduce the medium pollution and ensure the stable operation of the system. Through the combination of hard sealing and fireproof design, the ball valve is not only suitable for ordinary fluid medium, but also especially suitable for high-temperature, flammable or solid particle containing working conditions, which widens the application field.

[0006] Preferably, the fireproof rope is arranged above the sealing ring, and a plurality of O-rings in sealing connection with the valve body are arranged behind the fireproof rope. The fireproof rope is arranged above the sealing ring, which further improves the sealing effect on the basis of the first sealing formed by the sealing ring and the valve disc. The arrangement of the O-rings provides an additional sealing layer in sealing connection with the valve body, forms a multiple sealing structure and greatly reduces the risk of medium leakage.

[0007] Preferably, the support ring is provided with a horizontally arranged mounting groove, and a spring is arranged in the mounting groove, one end of the spring abutting against the bottom of the mounting groove and the other end abutting against the inner wall of the valve seat. The horizontally arranged mounting groove in the support ring is provided with a spring, one end of the spring abutting against the bottom of the mounting groove and the other end abutting against the inner wall of the valve seat, forming an elastic support structure. This design can dynamically adjust the position of the valve seat according to the change of the medium pressure, thereby maintaining the close contact between the sealing ring and the valve disc and improving the sealing effect. The elastic effect of the spring can effectively buffer the direct force of the valve seat caused by external impact or medium pressure fluctuation, reduce the stress intensity of the valve seat and other key components, and prolong the service life of the components.

[0008] Further, the valve body is provided with a first grease injection valve and a first grease injection channel communicated with the mounting groove.

The support ring 4 has a sealing ring 42 that abuts against the valve disc 2. A fireproof rope 43, which abuts against the valve body 1, is fitted onto the support ring 4. The fireproof rope 43 in the valve seat component, abutting against the valve body 1, effectively prevents the spread of flames or high-temperature gases along the sealing area in fire or high-temperature environments through its high-temperature resistance and structural design, thus improving the fire resistance of the ball valve. The fireproof rope 43 not only has fireproof functionality but also, to a certain extent, prevents dust and particulate matter from entering the valve seat component, reducing medium contamination and ensuring stable system operation. Through the combination of hard sealing and fireproof design, this ball valve is not only suitable for ordinary fluid media but also particularly suitable for high-temperature, flammable, or solid particle-containing working environments, broadening its application range.

[0025] The fireproof rope 43 is positioned above the sealing ring 42, and several O-rings 44 are located behind the fireproof rope 43 for sealing connection with the valve body 1. The fireproof rope 43, positioned above the sealing ring 42, further enhances the sealing effect on top of the initial seal formed by the sealing ring 42 and the valve disc 2. The arrangement of the O-rings 44, sealingly connected with the valve body 1, provides an additional sealing layer, forming a multi-layer sealing structure and significantly reducing the risk of media leakage.
