[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve components, specifically a valve component. Background Technology
[0002] A valve assembly is a mechanical device used to control fluid flow, typically composed of components such as a valve body, valve cover, valve core, and valve seat. The function of a valve assembly is to regulate the flow rate and pressure of fluid in a pipeline by controlling the opening and closing of the valve, thereby achieving fluid control and regulation.
[0003] A search revealed that the invention patent with publication number CN101922585A discloses a valve assembly, including a valve body with an axially through hole, a valve ball rotatably disposed in the valve body and having a hole in the center, a valve seat disposed between the valve ball and the valve body and communicating with the valve body, a valve stem vertically and fixedly connected to the upper end of the valve ball, and a connector connected to one end of the valve body. The connector includes an embedded part and an exposed part.
[0004] Existing valve assemblies, being used with fluid media, are prone to corrosion at the valve stem, which can affect the normal opening and closing of the valve. Alternatively, vibration can cause the valve stem to loosen, leading to poor valve sealing. Therefore, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model provides a hollow shell on the valve seat and outside the valve stem. Inside the hollow shell is an inclined block supported by a spring, and then an annular sponge sleeve is provided. The sponge sleeve can store a certain amount of lubricating oil. In this way, by simply pushing the push rod with a button, the push rod applies pressure to the inclined block, thereby squeezing the sponge sleeve and releasing the lubricating oil, thus lubricating the connection between the valve stem and the valve seat and preventing opening and closing difficulties caused by rust.
[0015] 2. This utility model sets a combination of a fixing ring, a toothed disc, and a spring on the outside of the valve stem, and then sets a locking tube on the top of the hollow shell. In the normal state, the toothed disc will engage with the locking tube under the action of the spring, which can lock and fix the valve stem to prevent it from loosening, thereby ensuring the valve's sealing performance.

The rotating wheel 4 facilitates the rotation of the valve stem 3.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 A hollow shell 5 is bolted to the top of the valve seat 2. The hollow shell 5 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the valve stem 3. A fixing ring 8 is fixedly connected to the stem of the valve stem 3. A gear disc 6 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the stem of the valve stem 3, and the gear disc 6 abuts against the hollow shell 5. A guide block 7 is fixedly connected to the inner ring wall of the gear disc 6, and the guide block 7 is slidably connected to the valve stem 3. The guide block 7 guides the axial sliding of the gear disc 6 on the valve stem 3. A spring 9 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the stem of the valve stem 3. One end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 8, and the other end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the gear disc 6. The spring 9 applies elastic force to the gear disc 6. A locking tube 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the hollow shell 5, and the locking tube 10 penetrates the hollow shell 5 and engages with the gear disc 6. A pull rod 19, made of plastic, is fixedly connected to the side of the gear disc 6. The lever 19 is designed to facilitate pulling upwards.
[0024] Please see Figure 4A sponge sleeve 11 and a beveled block 12 are slidably connected to the inner side of the hollow shell 5, and the sponge sleeve 11 and the beveled block 12 are in contact with each other. A push rod 15 is slidably connected to the outer ring wall of the hollow shell 5, and the push rod 15 passes through the hollow shell 5. A ball 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 15, and the ball 16 abuts against the beveled block 12. A button 17 is fixedly connected to the other end of the push rod 15.
