Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a valve, in particular to a flange ball valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ball valve is a valve whose opening and closing member is a ball and which is driven by a stem and rotates around the ball valve axis, and can also be used for fluid regulation and control; when the through hole on the ball is aligned or offset with the pipeline axis, the valve is opened or closed. The ball valve should generally be installed horizontally in the pipeline, and the ball valve is divided into three types according to the driving mode: pneumatic ball valve, electric ball valve and manual ball valve.

[0003] The sealing of the ball valve is mainly achieved by the mutual abutment between the ball and the valve seat, and the hard sealing is formed by the hard friction contact between the ball and the valve seat. In the long-term use process, when the wear between the two is excessive, the valve will leak. In order to save costs, the valve seat and the ball can be replaced separately. However, the existing ball valve needs to be completely disassembled and scattered when replacing the valve seat and the ball, which leads to the replacement and maintenance mode, and the operation is complicated and the workload is large. The above-mentioned problems are improved. SUMMARY

[0006] By adopting the technical scheme, when the opening and closing assembly is in the closed state, the positioning assembly is in the positioning state, the positioning assembly is arranged to position the sealing fit between the valve seat and the valve body and the sealing fit between the valve seat and the ball, so as to meet the sealing function of the valve and achieve the interception of the medium. When the valve seat and the ball need to be replaced, the opening and closing assembly is opened and the positioning of the positioning assembly is released, so that the valve seat and the ball can be taken out through the replacement opening for replacement operation. This operation mode does not need to disassemble and scatter the ball valve as a whole, so as to realize convenient replacement of the ball and the valve seat, reduce the operation difficulty and reduce the operation workload.

[0007] Further arrangement is that the direction of the replacement opening is parallel to the radial direction of the valve seat, and the valve seat and the ball enter and exit the replacement opening along the radial direction of the valve seat.

[0008] By adopting the technical scheme, this arrangement can realize convenient replacement of the valve seat and the ball and better meet the assembly sealing between the installed parts.

[0009] Further arrangement is that the replacement opening is located on the side of the ball opposite to the valve stem, and the valve seat and the ball enter and exit the replacement opening along the axial direction of the valve stem.

[0010] By adopting the technical scheme, this arrangement better realizes convenient replacement of the valve seat and the ball.

[0011] Further arrangement is that the positioning assembly comprises a fixed positioning strip arranged in the valve body and a movable positioning strip arranged on the opening and closing assembly, and the fixed positioning strip and the movable positioning strip are arranged around the outer periphery of the valve seat and are used to limit the radial movement of the valve seat.

[0012] By adopting the technical scheme, the fixed positioning strip cooperates with the movable positioning strip to limit the radial movement of the valve seat, so as to form the sealing assembly between the valve seat and the ball and achieve the positioning purpose.

[0013] Further arrangement is that the opening and closing assembly comprises a cover for sealing and shielding the replacement opening and a plurality of fasteners connecting the cover and the valve body.

[0014] By adopting the technical scheme, the cover cooperates with the fasteners to realize the opening and closing function of the replacement opening.

[0015] Further arrangement is that when the positioning assembly is in the positioning state, a first sealing ring is arranged between the valve body and the valve seat.

[0016] By adopting the technical scheme, the arrangement of the first sealing ring ensures the sealing between the valve seat and the valve body.

[0017] Further arrangement is that one side of the ball facing the cover is provided with a positioning shaft coaxial with the valve rod, and the cover is provided with a positioning groove for inserting the positioning shaft.

[0018] By adopting the above technical scheme, the positioning shaft cooperates with the positioning groove to further limit the installed ball, so as to improve the assembly accuracy and the reliability of the ball structure.

[0019] Further arrangement is that the handle is fixedly provided with a rotating insertion block, and the valve rod is provided with a rotating insertion groove for inserting the rotating insertion block and constituting a rotating linkage.

[0020] By adopting the above technical scheme, the rotating insertion block cooperates with the rotating insertion groove to realize detachable linkage between the handle and the valve rod, so that the handle can be removed when not in use, thereby avoiding unrelated personnel from operating the ball valve.

[0021] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the utility model can realize convenient replacement of the ball and the valve seat, thereby reducing operation difficulty and operation workload. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
