[0030] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a quick-opening and closing ball valve, including a valve pipe 1, a valve stem 2 rotatably installed inside the valve pipe 1, a ball 4 installed at the lower end of the valve stem 2, the ball 4 being located inside the valve pipe 1, a handle 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the valve stem 2, a drive structure 5 provided on the side wall of the valve pipe 1, and an auxiliary structure 6 provided on the side wall of the valve pipe 1.
[0031] The specific configuration and function of its driving structure 5 and auxiliary structure 6 will be explained below.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-4As shown in this embodiment: the drive structure 5 includes a fixed block 504 fixedly connected to the side wall of the valve pipe 1. A rotating rod 502 is rotatably connected inside the fixed block 504. A gear 503 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 502. A gear ring 501 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the handle 3. The tooth surface of the gear ring 501 meshes with the tooth surface of the gear 503. The rotating rod 502 rotates inside the fixed block 504, and the gear 503 drives the gear ring 501 to twist, thereby realizing the twisting operation of the valve stem 2 and the handle 3, thus facilitating the opening and closing control of the ball valve. A first slide rod 505 is slidably connected inside the rotating rod 502. A second slide rod 506 is slidably connected inside the first slide rod 505. A third slide rod 507 is slidably connected inside the second slide rod 506. By incorporating retractable first slide rod 505, second slide rod 506, and third slide rod 507, the flexible rotation of the handle 3 on the ball valve installed at a high position is facilitated, thereby improving the opening and closing efficiency of the ball valve. A rotating block 508 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the third slide rod 507. While rotating the rotating block 508, the rotating rod 502 rotates inside the fixed block 504. A mounting block 509 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating rod 502. A rotating strip 510 is rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the mounting block 509, and a rubber block 511 is glued to the upper surface of the rotating strip 510. The rubber block 511 improves the tightness of the temporary covering when the first slide rod 505, second slide rod 506, and third slide rod 507 are retracted.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 and Figures 5-6 As shown, specifically, the auxiliary structure 6 includes a support rod 62 fixedly connected to the side wall of the valve pipe 1. A connecting cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support rod 62, and a graphite block 63 is placed inside the connecting cylinder 61. By setting the auxiliary structure 6, the flexible lubrication between the valve pipe 1 and the handle 3 is facilitated, further improving the opening and closing efficiency of the ball valve. A slider 64 is slidably connected to the inside of the connecting cylinder 61, and a retaining frame 65 is slidably connected inside the slider 64. A spring 66 is fixedly connected between the slider 64 and the connecting cylinder 61. The slider 64 is driven by the elastic force of the spring 66 to push the retaining frame 65 against the surface of the graphite block 63. A receiving groove 67 is opened on the surface of the slider 64. When the end of the retaining frame 65 is retracted into the receiving groove 67, the graphite block 63 can be inserted into the inside of the connecting cylinder 61.
[0034] Working principle: During the use of the ball valve, when the ball valve is installed at a high height, the rotating bar 510 located below the rotating block 508 can be rotated out. At this time, the rotating block 508 will be driven by its own gravity to unfold the first sliding rod 505, the second sliding rod 506, and the third sliding rod 507, making it easy for the operator to reach the rotating block 508. While rotating the rotating block 508, the rotating rod 502 will rotate inside the fixed block 504, and the gear 503 will drive the gear ring 501 to twist, thereby realizing the twisting operation of the valve stem 2 and the handle 3, thus facilitating the opening and closing control of the ball valve. When the drive structure 5 is not needed, the first sliding rod 505, the second sliding rod 506, and the third sliding rod 507 can be retracted. After the second slide bar 506 and the third slide bar 507 are retracted, the rotating bar 510 can be rotated, and the rubber block 511 on the rotating bar 510 can be placed under the rotating block 508. This allows for the covering of the first slide bar 505, the second slide bar 506, and the third slide bar 507 after they are retracted. The rubber block 511 improves the tightness of the temporary covering of the first slide bar 505, the second slide bar 506, and the third slide bar 507 after they are retracted. By setting the drive structure 5 and the retractable first slide bar 505, the second slide bar 506, and the third slide bar 507, it is convenient to flexibly twist the handle 3 on the ball valve installed at a high position, thereby facilitating the flexible opening and closing of the ball valve installed at a high position and improving the opening and closing efficiency of the ball valve.
[0035] Pull the retaining frame 65 inside the slider 64 to retract the end of the retaining frame 65 into the inner side of the storage groove 67. At this time, the graphite block 63 can be inserted into the inner side of the connecting cylinder 61. Slide the slider 64 away from the valve tube 1 to slide the retaining frame 65 out from the inner side of the storage groove 67. Release the slider 64. At this time, the slider 64 will be driven by the elastic force of the spring 66 to push the retaining frame 65 against the surface of the graphite block 63. The graphite block 63 will be tightly fitted by the pressure of the retaining frame 65 at the position where the handle 3 and the valve tube 1 are close to each other. When there is relative movement between the valve tube 1 and the handle 3, the graphite block 63 can realize the lubrication work between the valve tube 1 and the handle 3. By setting the auxiliary structure 6, the flexible lubrication work between the valve tube 1 and the handle 3 is facilitated, and the opening and closing efficiency of the ball valve is further improved.
