[0027] ​The plug valve switches the flow path by rotating the plug body 7. Due to its own weight, the pressure on the seal 93 in the circumferential direction of the plug body 7 is uneven. That is, the seal 93 at the bottom of the plug body 7 is subjected to greater pressure, and the seal 93 is prone to failure after long-term operation.

[0028] This utility model embodiment provides a plug axial pressing structure, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the valve includes a plug upper rod 1, a plug ring 2, a plug cap 3, a steel ball 4, and a pressure block 5; the plug upper rod 1 is connected to the plug body 7 and extends out of the valve body 8; a valve cover 90 is fitted on the outside of the plug upper rod 1 and is connected to the valve body 8; a packing assembly 91 is provided between the valve cover 90 and the plug upper rod 1; a packing cap 92 is fitted on the outside of the plug upper rod 1, and the end of the packing cap 92 abuts against the packing assembly 91; the pressure block 5 is fitted on the outside of the plug upper rod 1, and the end of the pressure block 5 abuts against the end of the packing cap 92 away from the packing assembly 91; the plug... A sealing element 93 is provided between the body 7 and the valve cover 90; an installation hole is provided in the radial direction of the upper rod 1 of the plug body; a steel ball 4 is slidably connected in the installation hole, and the steel ball 4 can extend out of the installation hole and abut against the corresponding mating surface on the pressure block 5; the plug ring 2 and the plug cap 3 are sequentially sleeved on the outside of the upper rod 1 of the plug body, and the plug ring 2 is located between the plug cap 3 and the pressure block 5; the plug ring 2 is engaged with the stepped surface of the upper rod 1 of the plug body through a spherical structure; the end of the plug cap 3 near the valve cover 90 abuts against the plug ring 2, and the plug cap 3 is connected to the valve cover 90 by a fastener 94.

[0029] For example, the plug cap 3 is used to transmit the clamping force; the fastener 94 passes through the through hole on the plug cap 3 and is connected to the valve cover 90. Since the plug ring 2 is engaged with the stepped surface of the upper rod 1 of the plug body through the spherical structure, the clamping force can be concentrated on the axis of the upper rod 1 of the plug body, thereby forming a complete and reasonably stressed clamping structure.

[0030] For example, a packing assembly 91 is provided between the valve cover 90 and the upper rod 1 of the plug body to prevent media leakage.

[0031] For example, the end of the packing gland 92 abuts against the packing assembly 91, and the end of the pressure block 5 abuts against the packing gland 92, thereby forming a multi-stage compression structure.

[0032] For example, the number of steel balls 4 corresponds to the number of mounting holes, and there are no fewer than three steel balls 4. The steel balls 4 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the rod 1 on the plug body. The number of steel balls 4 can also be a multiple of two, such as four, six or eight, etc.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, it also includes an elastic element 6; the elastic element 6 is disposed in the mounting hole; one end of the elastic element 6 is connected to the upper rod 1 of the plug body, and the other end of the elastic element 6 is connected to the steel ball 4.

[0034] For example, the elastic member 6 can provide the steel ball 4 with a continuous elastic force.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-6 The pressing block 5 is provided with a first inclined surface 51, and the steel ball 4 can extend out of the mounting hole and abut against the first inclined surface 51.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-6 The pressing block 5 is also provided with a second inclined surface 52, and the steel ball 4 can extend out of the mounting hole and abut against the second inclined surface 52.

[0037] For example, the included angle between the first inclined surface 51 and the axis of the plug upper rod 1 is smaller than the included angle between the second inclined surface 52 and the axis of the plug upper rod 1.

[0038] For example, the first inclined surface 51 is relatively steep, and the second inclined surface 52 is relatively flat, thereby achieving the technical effects of staged compression and reliable self-locking. During installation, when the steel ball 4 finally enters the flat second inclined surface 52, it is difficult for the steel ball 4 to move on the steep first inclined surface 51 and needs to overcome a large resistance. Therefore, after installation is completed, the pressing block 5 forms a reliable axial self-locking through the second inclined surface 52 and the first inclined surface 51, effectively preventing the pressing block 5 from falling off during vibration, thereby ensuring the stability during installation, greatly improving the reliability and service life of the valve seal, and achieving rapid installation of the valve.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-6 The end of the pressing block 5 towards the valve cover 90 is provided with a mounting groove 53; the opening of the mounting groove 53 faces the packing gland 92, and the end of the mounting groove 53 extends to the first inclined surface 51; the first inclined surface 51 is connected with the second inclined surface 52; when the pressing block 5 is in the compression position, the steel ball 4 abuts against the second inclined surface 52 and is configured to exert a component force on the pressing block 5 pointing towards the packing gland 92.

[0040] For example, when installing the pressing block 5, the mounting groove 53 is aligned with the steel ball 4, when the steel ball 4 reaches the end of the mounting groove 53, the pressing block 5 is rotated to make the steel ball 4 abut against the first inclined surface 51, when the pressing block 5 moves towards the packing gland 92, the steel ball 4 moves towards the second inclined surface 52, when the pressing block 5 abuts against the packing gland 92, the steel ball 4 abuts against the second inclined surface 52, at this time, the steel ball 4 is configured to exert a downward component force on the pressing block 5, so that the pressing block 5 compresses the packing gland 92.

[0041] The first inclined surface 51 of the pressing block 5 is used for initial positioning, and the second inclined surface 52 of the pressing block 5 is used for working state compression. An installation groove 53 is arranged at one end of the pressing block 5 close to the valve cover 90, and one end of the installation groove 53 is in communication with the packing gland 92, and the other end extends to the first inclined surface 51. When the pressing block 5 is installed, first, the installation groove 53 is aligned with the steel ball 4, when the steel ball 4 reaches the end of the installation groove 53, the pressing block 5 is rotated to make the steel ball 4 abut against the first inclined surface 51, when the pressing block 5 moves towards the packing gland 92, the steel ball 4 moves towards the second inclined surface 52, when the pressing block 5 completely abuts against the packing gland 92, the steel ball 4 abuts against the second inclined surface 52, in this working state, the steel ball 4 generates a downward component force on the pressing block 5, so that the pressing block 5 continuously compresses the packing gland 92, thereby ensuring that the packing assembly 91 obtains uniform and stable axial compression force.

[0042] The installation groove 53 and the first inclined surface 51 are provided with a circular arc, which can make the steel ball 4 smoothly transition to the first inclined surface 51.

[0043] In the embodiment of the application, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-6 One end of the plug compression ring 2 close to the valve cover 90 is provided with a concave structure, and the stepped surface of the plug upper rod 1 is provided with a convex structure. Through the cooperation of the convex structure and the concave structure, the compression force of the plug compression ring 2 on the plug upper rod 1 is concentrated and transmitted to the axis of the plug upper rod 1 along the normal direction of the concave structure or the convex structure.

[0044] The middle part of the plug upper rod 1 is designed as a stepped surface, which is designed as a convex lens shape. The inner side of the corresponding surface of the plug compression ring 2 is designed as a compression surface, which is designed as a concave lens shape. The convex lens and the concave lens cooperate with each other, so that the compression force can be concentrated and transmitted to the axis of the plug upper rod 1 through the cooperation of the convex lens and the concave lens.

[0045] The machining tolerance of the stepped surface of the plug upper rod 1 is designed as ±0.2mm, and the surface roughness is not greater than Ra1.6μm.

[0046] In the embodiment of the application, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-6 The spherical diameters of the concave structure and the convex structure are the same.

[0047] In the embodiment of the application, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-6 The plug compression ring 2 and the plug gland 3 are provided with a wear-reducing pad 95.

[0048] The wear-reducing pad 95 is arranged between the rotatable plug compression ring 2 and the fixed plug gland 3, and is used for reducing wear.

[0049] In the embodiment of the application, as shown in the figure, Figures 1-6As shown, the packing assembly 91 comprises an upper scraping ring 911 and a lower scraping ring 912; the upper scraping ring 911 and the lower scraping ring 912 are sequentially sleeved on the outer side of the plug upper stem 1; the upper scraping ring 911 and the lower scraping ring 912 abut against the inner side of the valve cover 90.

[0050] For example, the present application converts the radial force into uniform axial compression force by the cooperation of the steel ball 4 and the inclined surface of the pressing block 5, which not only solves the problem of uneven pressure of the sealing element 93 caused by the self-weight of the plug 7, but also improves the sealing effect of the packing assembly 91, and further, the spherical structure between the plug pressing ring 2 and the plug upper stem 1 can ensure the transmission of the compression force along the axis of the plug upper stem 1, preventing the plug 7 from being deflected, thereby reducing the jamming phenomenon in the operation of the valve. The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment mainly describes the difference from other embodiments.

[0051] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited to the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
