Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a valve ball, and more particularly to a high-pressure fixed ball. Background Technology
[0002] The valve ball is a key component of a valve, typically spherical in shape, with a passage formed in the center. The ball rotates to control the opening and closing of the valve's flow path, thereby controlling the flow rate of the medium. Balls are usually made of materials such as stainless steel, copper, and cast iron, which offer good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Types of valve balls include fixed balls, three-way balls, hemispherical balls, and balls with handles.
[0003] The ball comprises a ball core and a valve stem mounting shaft disposed on the ball core. Existing methods for fixing the valve stem mounting shaft to the ball core mainly fall into two categories: integral connection and welding. Integral connection involves machining the ball to form the valve stem mounting shaft, but this machining method requires high precision and advanced machine tools, resulting in high processing costs. Welding, on the other hand, has limited strength and is prone to microcracks, making it unsuitable for high-pressure applications. Based on these existing problems, this improvement was developed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-pressure fixed sphere that has low processing cost and high directional strength, thereby adapting to high-pressure working conditions.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a high-pressure fixed ball, including a ball core and a valve stem mounting shaft, and a steering linkage assembly. The ball core is provided with an upper docking slot for the valve stem mounting shaft to be inserted into, and the valve stem mounting shaft is provided with a linkage limiting groove. When the valve stem mounting shaft is inserted into the upper docking slot, the upper docking slot and the linkage limiting groove intersect. The steering linkage assembly, in conjunction with the upper docking slot and the linkage limiting groove, forms a steering linkage between the ball core and the valve stem mounting shaft.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the valve stem mounting shaft is inserted into the upper mating slot, ensuring that the upper mating slot intersects with the linkage limiting groove. Then, the steering linkage assembly is installed into the intersection of the upper mating slot and the linkage limiting groove, thus establishing steering linkage between the ball core and the valve stem mounting shaft, thereby completing the assembly operation of the ball core and the valve stem mounting shaft. This structure has low processing costs and high steering strength, making it suitable for high-pressure operating environments.
[0007] The configuration is further defined as follows: the linkage limiting groove extends radially through the valve stem mounting shaft, and the linkage limiting groove extends along the axis of the valve stem mounting shaft to form an elongated strip.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the linkage limit groove can be easily processed by slotting and cutting the valve stem mounting shaft, which reduces the processing cost. In addition, this structure can also facilitate the assembly operation of the steering linkage component.
[0009] The steering linkage component is further configured as follows: the steering linkage component includes a steering linkage groove disposed on the side wall of the upper docking slot and a rotation linkage block disposed at the intersection of the upper docking slot and the linkage limiting groove and extending into the steering linkage groove.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, after the valve stem mounting shaft is inserted into the upper docking slot, the rotating linkage block is installed at the intersection of the upper docking slot and the linkage limiting slot through the linkage limiting slot and extends into the steering linkage slot, thereby forming the steering linkage between the ball core and the valve stem mounting shaft. The upper docking slot and the steering linkage slot can be easily processed by drilling and slotting the ball core, thereby reducing processing costs.
[0011] The configuration is further defined as follows: the number of steering linkage slots is set to two, and when the valve stem mounting shaft is inserted into the upper docking slot, the two steering linkage slots correspond to the orthogonal projection positions of the two ends of the linkage limit slot.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact surface is increased to reduce the occurrence of concentrated force, thereby further improving steering strength.
[0013] A further feature is provided: when the valve stem mounting shaft is inserted into the upper docking slot, the valve stem mounting shaft is provided with a limiting structure to restrict the rotation linkage block from leaving the upper docking slot.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit structure is set to prevent the steering linkage block from accidentally dislodging, thereby reducing the failure rate of the structure.
[0015] The valve stem mounting shaft is further configured to have a mating groove for valve stem mounting, and the limiting structure includes a limiting hole connecting the bottom of the mating groove and the linkage limiting groove, and a limiting post disposed in the limiting hole.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting post is inserted into the limiting hole and abuts against the steering linkage block. When the valve stem is inserted into the docking groove, the upward movement of the limiting post is restricted, so that the existing limiting post can limit the steering linkage block.
[0017] The further configuration includes a support shaft, and a lower mating slot for inserting the support shaft is formed on the ball core. An alignment structure is formed between the lower mating slot and the support shaft to achieve coaxiality between the lower mating slot and the support shaft.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembly gap formed between the support shaft and the lower mating slot is compensated by the centering structure, thereby improving product accuracy, and this processing method has a lower cost.
[0019] The alignment structure is further configured as follows: the alignment structure includes an alignment slope disposed on the side wall of the lower docking slot and gradually expanding along the opening of the lower docking slot, and a mating slope formed on the support shaft and cooperating with the alignment slope.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the centering inclined surface and the mating inclined surface are used together to compensate for the assembly gap.
[0021] In summary, this utility model has the following advantages: it has low processing cost and high steering strength, thus making it suitable for high-pressure working environments. Attached Figure Description
