[0032] In the embodiment, the locking piece 6 is a bolt, in other embodiments, the locking piece can be set according to the actual situation, and the locking piece 6 and the measuring pad 7 can also be set as an integral structure, which is not limited here.
[0033] The measuring pad 7 is a whole conical cylindrical structure, and the outer wall of the measuring pad 7 is shaped and matched with the hole wall of the conical hole 21, and the outer wall of the measuring pad 7 and the hole wall of the conical hole 21 are in a sealed state without floating gap, which ensures that the material entering the ball 2 is in the volumetric measurement cavity 8, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement.
[0034] The metering pad 7 comprises a metering end 71 located in the volumetric metering cavity 8 and a mounting end 72 mounted in cooperation with the bottom of the tapered hole 21, the diameter of the metering end 71 is larger than that of the mounting end 72. The bottom of the tapered hole 21 is provided as a flat surface, and the corresponding mounting end 72 is provided as a mounting flat surface 721, facilitating the cooperation and positioning of the mounting end 72 with the bottom of the tapered hole 21, thereby facilitating the installation and fixation between the metering pad 7 and the ball 2. The metering end 71 is provided as an inner concave arc surface 711, and the inner concave arc surface 711 is provided at the contact end of the metering pad 7 with the material, which can prevent the material from accumulating, and compared with the cylindrical hole in the prior art, the inner concave arc surface 711 is more accurate in metering, and can also solve the problem that the corners in the cylindrical hole cannot be completely filled.

[0036] If it is necessary to measure different volumes of material, it is only necessary to change the metering volume of the volumetric metering cavity 8, and the metering volume of the volumetric metering cavity 8 can be achieved by replacing metering pads 7 of different sizes. Here, the size of the metering pad 7 is changed, mainly by changing the length of the metering pad 7. Of course, the diameter of the metering pad 7 also needs to be shaped and matched with the tapered hole 21 of the ball 2, and the size of the locking piece 6 can also be adaptively changed. After changing the length of the metering pad 7, the volume of the volumetric metering cavity 8 changes correspondingly. Specifically, if the length of the metering pad 7 is reduced, the metering volume of the volumetric metering cavity 8 increases, and if the length of the metering pad 7 is increased, the metering volume of the volumetric metering cavity 8 will decrease. Therefore, by replacing metering pads 7 of different lengths to change the volume of the volumetric metering cavity 8, the change of the metering volume of the ball valve can be realized.
[0037] In order to facilitate the quick replacement of metering pads 7 of different sizes, the outer diameters of the metering pad 7 and the locking piece 6 are smaller than the diameter of the medium flow channel 5, so that the locking piece 6 and the metering pad 7 can be directly screwed out of the tapered hole 21 of the ball 2 from the medium flow channel 5 using a screwdriver, and then other metering pads 7 of different sizes and the locking piece 6 can be screwed into the tapered hole 21 of the ball 2 through the medium flow channel to achieve the replacement of the metering pad 7. Without disassembling the outer shell 1, the metering pad 7 of different lengths can be replaced, and the replacement of the metering pad 7 is simple and convenient, which can not only shorten the installation time, but also avoid the problem of sealing failure caused by multiple disassembly and assembly of the outer shell 1.
[0038] The metering process of the metering ball valve is as follows: the material flows into the volume metering cavity 8 through the medium flow channel 5 on one side, the valve stem 3 drives the ball 2 to rotate 180°, the volume metering cavity 8 is rotated to be communicated with the medium flow channel 5 on the other side, and the material in the volume metering cavity 8 flows into the medium flow channel 5 on the other side, so as to realize the metering process of the material. In order to make the material in the volume metering cavity 8 quickly flow into the medium flow channel 5, preferably, the volume metering cavity 8 is arranged upward, after the valve stem 3 drives the ball 2 to rotate 180°, the volume metering cavity 8 is arranged downward, and the material in the volume metering cavity 8 can quickly flow into the medium flow channel 5 by relying on its own gravity. In other embodiments, the arrangement direction of the volume metering cavity 8 is set according to the actual situation, which is not limited herein.

The ball 2 is first in contact with the annular protrusion 44 to realize sealing, and after the extrusion force of the ball 2 is increased, the ball 2 extrudes the annular protrusion 44 to realize complete contact with the sealing surface 41 to realize sealing. Compared with ordinary planar contact, the annular protrusion 44 can obviously increase the elastic deformation amount after being extruded, improve the sealing effect between the valve seat 4 and the ball 2, and also can enhance the bearing capacity of the valve seat 4, so as to reduce the wear of the valve seat 4 and prolong the service life of the valve seat 4.

The O-ring 45 and the wedge-shaped sealing ring 46 can support the valve seat 4 to prevent the valve seat 4 from moving up and down, and can improve the sealing of the first contact surface 42. The wedge-shaped sealing ring 46 and the wedge-shaped groove 422 are in conformal cooperation, and the sealing of the wedge-shaped sealing ring 46 is realized through the wedge-shaped structure. When the disc spring set 48 realizes the sealing between the valve seat 4 and the ball 2 by pressing the wedge-shaped sealing ring 46 through the pressing of the pressing ring 47, the wedge-shaped structure cooperation can reduce the deformation stress of the wedge-shaped sealing ring 46, reduce the cold flow and wear of the wedge-shaped sealing ring 46, the material of the wedge-shaped sealing ring 46 is graphite, which is more stable and reliable, can improve the sealing effect between the valve seat 4 and the outer shell 1, and improve the service life of the ball valve.
[0042] The outer housing 1 comprises a valve body 11 and valve caps 12 arranged on both sides of the valve body 11, and the upper end of the valve body 11 is provided with a stuffing box 13, and the stuffing box 13 is provided with a stuffing 14 for realizing the gap sealing between the valve body 11 and the valve stem 3.
[0043] In order to ensure the accuracy of the metering, it is necessary to ensure the sealing between the ball 2, the valve stem 3 and the valve body 11, therefore, the valve cavity filler is arranged between the valve body 11 and the ball 2 to realize the sealing between the ball and the valve body 11. The valve cavity filler comprises a first filler 15 sleeved on the left side of the ball 2 and the valve stem 3 and a second filler 16 sleeved on the right side of the ball and the valve stem 3, and the first filler 15 and the second filler 16 are symmetrical to each other, the gap between the ball 2, the valve stem 3 and the valve body 11 is filled, the structure design without gap in the valve cavity is realized, the material falling into the valve cavity when the ball 2 rotates can be avoided, the gap sealing between the ball 2, the valve stem 3 and the valve body 11 is improved, and the metering accuracy of the metering ball valve is improved.
[0044] The above only describes some embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the inventive concept, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are all within the protection scope of the present application.
