[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example: A one-piece ball valve, such as Figure 1 As shown, the valve includes a valve body 1, a valve cavity through groove 2 in the middle of the valve body 1, a ball core block 3 in the middle of the valve cavity through groove 2, and a valve stem 4 on the valve body 1 to drive the ball core block 3 to rotate. During the operation of the ball valve, the user drives the ball core block 3 to switch the valve cavity through groove 2 on and off by rotating the valve stem 4.

[0020] The valve cavity through groove 2 is provided with a valve seat assembly that movably engages with the ball core block 3. The valve seat assembly is located on both sides of the ball core block 3, which can ensure the stability of the ball core block 3 during rotation and switching. The valve seat assembly includes a valve seat block 5 that is movably connected to the groove wall of the valve cavity through groove 2 and a valve seat limiting sleeve 6 located on the side of the valve seat block 5 away from the ball core block 3. The valve seat limiting sleeve 6 is movably connected to the valve seat block 5, which can limit the valve seat block 5 and ensure a tight fit between the ball core block 3 and the valve seat block 5.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the valve seat block 5 has a flow guide groove 7 in the middle that fits into the ball core block 3. The side of the flow guide groove 7 that contacts the ball core block 3 has an arc-shaped fitting groove 16 to ensure the reliability of rotational friction between the ball core block 3 and the valve seat block 5. With repeated opening and closing, the relative rotational stability between the ball core block 3 and the arc-shaped fitting groove 16 cannot be guaranteed. The groove wall of the arc-shaped fitting groove 16 has an adjusting guide rib 17. The ball core block 3 has an adjusting guide groove 18 that cooperates with the adjusting guide rib 17. The cooperation between the adjusting guide groove 18 and the adjusting guide rib 17 improves the rotational stability of the ball core block 3. The bottom of the valve cavity through groove 2 below the ball core block 3 has a ball core support 19 to keep the rotation of the ball core block 3 stable and consistent. It can also effectively withstand the impact of the liquid flow of the conveying medium through the ball core block 3, and improve the impact resistance of the combination of the ball core block 3 and the valve seat block 5.

[0022] To achieve a secure and limited position of the valve seat block 5, a threaded step block 8 is provided on the side wall of the valve seat block 5 away from the ball core block 3. The valve seat limiting sleeve 6 is sleeved with the valve cavity through groove 2. The end of the valve seat limiting sleeve 6 that is movably connected to the valve seat block 5 is provided with an internal threaded sleeve 9 that is threadedly engaged with the threaded step block 8. During the assembly of the ball valve, the threaded step block 8 and the internal threaded sleeve 9 achieve threaded locking. The end of the valve seat block 5 that contacts the valve seat limiting sleeve 6 is also provided with an auxiliary groove 20. The end of the valve seat limiting sleeve 6 is provided with an auxiliary protrusion 21 that cooperates with the auxiliary groove 20. As the valve seat block 5 and the valve seat limiting sleeve 6 are screwed together, the auxiliary groove 20 and the auxiliary protrusion 21 engage, which not only improves the structural strength of the valve seat block 5 and the valve seat limiting sleeve 6, but also improves the tightness of the connection. Furthermore, since the valve seat block 5 is a wear-resistant and vulnerable part, the split design also facilitates disassembly and maintenance during the overall assembly and use of the ball valve.

[0023] Multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 10 are also provided on the side wall of the valve seat limiting sleeve 6. The inner wall of the groove of the valve cavity through groove 2 is provided with limiting grooves 11 for snap-fit ​​blocks 10 to snap into. The user pushes the snap-fit ​​blocks 10 into the grooves at both ends of the valve cavity through groove 2 to complete the snap-fit ​​positioning between the snap-fit ​​blocks 10 and the limiting grooves 11. At the same time, the valve seat block 5 is fitted with the ball core block 3. The multiple snap-fit ​​blocks 10 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the valve seat limiting sleeve 6, which helps to improve the uniformity of the force on the valve seat limiting sleeve 6 and ensures the smooth passage of the conveying medium in the valve cavity through groove 2.

[0024] To further limit and tighten the valve seat limiting sleeve 6, a flange gasket block 12 is provided at the end of the valve seat limiting sleeve 6 away from the ball core block 3. The groove of the valve cavity through groove 2 is provided with a limiting groove 13 for the flange gasket block 12 to fit into. As the entire valve seat limiting sleeve 6 is inserted into the valve cavity through groove 2, the end flange gasket block 12 is fitted with the limiting groove 13. When the ball valve is used in a sleeve connection, the external pipe flange block is sleeved with the end of the valve cavity through groove 2, which can further press and limit the flange gasket block 12, always maintaining the stable and tight limiting of the valve seat limiting sleeve 6 on the valve seat block 5. Multiple sealing ring grooves 14 are provided on the outer side wall of the valve seat limiting sleeve 6. Elastic sealing gaskets 15 are embedded in the sealing ring grooves 14, which further improves the assembly compactness between the valve seat limiting sleeve 6 and the valve cavity through groove 2, and also improves the impact resistance of the liquid flow through which the conveying medium passes, ensuring the durability and reliability of the ball valve.

[0025] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
