Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stainless steel products technology, specifically to a durable square-head valve stem. Background Technology

[0002] The valve stem is a crucial component of a valve, used for transmission. It connects to the actuator or handle at the top and directly drives the valve core to move or rotate, thereby achieving the valve's opening, closing, or regulating function. The valve stem is one of the key components of a valve, with its threaded section connected to the valve ball.

[0003] When using valve stems, the outer end is usually directly exposed for connection, making it susceptible to corrosion and damage. Furthermore, the connection between the valve stem and the handle is subject to concentrated stress, and prolonged opening and closing with the hand can easily cause fatigue damage at the valve stem connection, affecting the service life of the valve stem. Therefore, we propose a durable square-head valve stem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems that when valve stems are used, the outer end is usually directly exposed for connection, which makes them prone to corrosion and damage. In addition, the force is concentrated at the connection point between the valve stem and the handle. After long-term opening and closing and rotating the handle, the valve stem connection is prone to fatigue damage, which affects the service life of the valve stem. This utility model provides a durable square-head valve stem.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A durable square-head valve stem includes a valve stem body, a connecting square head fixedly connected to the upper end of the valve stem body, auxiliary slots being provided at the center of each of the four walls of the connecting square head, a connecting sleeve being fitted and fixedly attached to the connecting square head, and a rotating handle being fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting sleeve, the bottom of the connecting sleeve extending downwards and fitting onto the upper end of the valve stem body, and a snap-fit ​​protrusion being fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner wall of the connecting sleeve corresponding to the position of the auxiliary slot.

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting stud is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting square head, and a cap nut is threaded onto the upper end of the connecting stud after passing through the connecting sleeve and the center of the rotating handle.

[0008] Furthermore, a transverse through hole is provided at the center of the lower half of the connecting sleeve and at the corresponding position of the upper end of the valve stem body, and a reinforcing pin is inserted through the transverse through hole on the connecting sleeve and the valve stem body.

[0009] Furthermore, multiple graphite slots are provided at equal intervals on the outer wall of the valve stem body at the contact position with the valve body, and each of the multiple graphite slots is filled with a graphite lubricating block.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower edge of the cap nut is provided with a waterproof step, and the upper end of the rotating handle is fixedly connected with a waterproof boss corresponding to the position of the waterproof step, and the waterproof boss is inserted into the waterproof step.

[0011] Furthermore, a sealing rubber gasket is fixedly connected to the upper end of the waterproof boss.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model features a valve stem body with a connecting square head at the upper end fixed by a connecting sleeve. A rotating handle fixed at the upper end of the connecting sleeve facilitates user operation. An auxiliary slot, in cooperation with the locking protrusion, disperses the torsional force applied to the connecting square head when the connecting sleeve is twisted, thereby improving the service life of the connecting square head and making the square head valve stem more durable. The connecting sleeve, which wraps around the connecting square head and the upper end of the valve stem body, effectively improves the sealing of the contact surfaces between the connecting sleeve and the valve stem body and the connecting square head, preventing water ingress and corrosion, further extending the service life of the square head valve stem.

[0014] 2. This utility model, through the setting of connecting studs and cap nuts, the threaded engagement of the connecting studs and cap nuts can press and fix the connecting sleeve and the rotating handle, ensuring the fixed connection between the connecting sleeve and the rotating handle and the upper end of the valve stem body. The setting of cap nuts can improve the sealing performance at the contact position between the connecting studs and the rotating handle.

[0015] 3. This utility model uses a transverse through hole and a reinforcing pin to fix the connecting sleeve and valve stem body, further dispersing the torsional force when the connecting sleeve is twisted, and improving the service life of the square-head valve stem.
