Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to valve technical field especially relates to a novel fixed ball valve drive chain cooperation structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] For the common small-bore, high-pressure ball valve on the pipeline of chemical industry, the strength of its drive chain usually faces great challenge:

[0003] ①The cooperation structure of common ball and valve stem is flat square or square, which leads to larger gap between valve stem and ball, larger dead zone of valve stem, and larger impact force on ball when valve stem is opened and closed.

[0004] ②The stress of square connection mode is only on four corners, stress is concentrated, bearing capacity is low, and the centering and guiding properties are poor. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model discloses a kind of novel fixed ball valve drive chain cooperation structures, to effectively solve the problem raised in background art.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model takes the following technical scheme: a kind of novel fixed ball valve drive chain cooperation structure, including square key, valve stem, cylindrical pin, ball;The upper side of the valve stem is equipped with square key groove, top surface is equipped with direction indicating groove, the bottom side of the valve stem is provided with four semicircle cylindrical pin grooves evenly;The ball is equipped with cylindrical pit, and four semicircle cylindrical pin pits are evenly distributed on the side wall of cylindrical pit.

[0007] Preferably, the square key is fixed in the square key groove of the valve stem by assembly pin, the valve stem bottom is inserted and mounted in the cylindrical pit provided on the ball, and the cylindrical pin is inserted and mounted in the four semicircle cylindrical pin pits on the ball, which cooperates with the four semicircle cylindrical pin grooves on the valve stem to complete the power transmission of the drive chain from the square key to the ball.

[0008] When the drive chain works, the valve stem acts as a rotating drive shaft, and the force applied by the outside acts on the valve stem and the side edge of the square key, so that the valve stem obtains a rotatable force, and then the force is evenly distributed on the cylindrical pin through the pin hole at the bottom of the valve stem and transmitted to the ball, thereby driving the ball to rotate. When the square key rotates to the specified state, the ball can complete the corresponding action, and the state of the middle passage of the ball can be judged according to the direction indicating groove at the end of the valve stem. Limiting grooves are arranged on the connecting disc of the valve, and the square key can cooperate with the limiting grooves to limit.

[0009] The utility model has the advantages of:

[0010] 1. The ball and valve stem are fitted with cylindrical pins. While maintaining the same design strength, compared to a square connection, using cylindrical pins results in a smaller opening size at the ball-stem connection point, thus reducing the impact of the opening on the ball's strength. This connection structure distributes stress evenly across the outer surfaces of each cylindrical pin, avoiding stress concentration and allowing for greater torque transmission. It also significantly improves the centering and guiding properties of the valve stem.

[0011] 2. The valve stem drive key is upgraded to a square key, and the fit strength is improved. Under the same torque, the number of drive keys can be reduced, which enhances the ease of assembly.

[0012] 3. Due to its high strength, the square key has higher accuracy and reliability when used as a secondary limit switch. Attached Figure Description

[0023] When the drive chain works, the valve rod 1 serves as a rotary drive shaft, an externally applied force acts on the side edge surface of the valve rod 1 and the square key 5, so that the valve rod 1 obtains a rotatable force, then the force is uniformly distributed on the cylindrical pin 2 through the pin hole at the bottom of the valve rod 1 and is transmitted to the ball 3, so as to drive the ball 3 to rotate. When the square key 5 rotates to a specified state, the ball 3 can complete the corresponding action, and the state of the middle passage of the ball 3 can be indicated according to the direction indicating groove 9 at the end of the valve rod 1.
