Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fixed ball valve with an energy storage sealing ring mounted on top, belonging to the field of ball valve technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of industry, the demand for valves is increasing. Ball valves, using a ball as the opening and closing element, have gained customer trust due to their advantages such as low flow resistance, low pressure loss, reliable sealing, and ease of operation. Existing fixed ball valves are generally two- or three-piece split side-mounted types. Due to their structural limitations, they have more external leakage points. When maintaining them on pipelines, it is necessary to disconnect the valve from the pipeline before inspecting the internal parts. In contrast, top-mounted fixed ball valves have fewer leakage points, are simple and quick to install and remove on pipelines, and are convenient and fast to maintain, minimizing losses in production. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a fixed ball valve with an energy storage sealing ring, which facilitates online disassembly and assembly of the valve and reduces the difficulty of online maintenance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives / to solve the above technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A fixed ball valve with an energy storage sealing ring, comprising:

[0006] The valve body contains a ball, and a valve seat is provided between the ball and the valve body. A spring seat ring is provided inside the valve seat, and an elastic component is provided inside the spring seat ring to make the valve seat fit against the ball. The end of the valve seat facing the ball is machined into a conical shape.

[0007] Valve cover, the valve cover being disposed at the upper end of the valve body;

[0008] A valve stem, which passes through the valve cover and connects to the top of the ball, and the bottom of the ball is rotatably connected to the valve cover.

[0009] Optionally, an O-ring is provided between the end of the valve seat away from the ball and the valve body.

[0010] Optionally, a fireproof packing is provided between the valve seat and the valve body on the side away from the O-ring.

[0011] Optionally, the valve cover is provided with a gland flange.

[0012] Optionally, the gland flange is bolted to the valve cover.

[0013] Optionally, the valve cover is fixedly connected to the valve body by studs and nuts.

[0014] Optionally, the ball is a long-handled ball, and the upper and lower long handles of the ball cooperate with the valve cover and the valve body.

[0015] Optionally, the spring seat has a groove to facilitate pulling the spring seat.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This utility model features an integral gland flange, reducing the shaking and misalignment that occur in conventional split designs.

[0018] This utility model features a valve seat with a tapered design facing the ball end. During later disassembly and assembly, it can be used with disassembly and assembly tools to separate and fit the ball and valve seat, facilitating online valve disassembly and assembly and reducing the difficulty of online maintenance. The valve body is a two-piece bolted valve body, which has fewer leakage points than the conventional three-piece bolted valve body, and the number of parts is reduced, making assembly simple and improving sealing performance.

[0019] The long-handled ball reduces the number of parts used, lowers costs, and correspondingly reduces the machining tolerances between parts, thus improving sealing performance caused by the machining tolerances of parts.

[0020] The valve's main seals all use energy storage sealing rings, which are more resistant to aging and have better sealing performance than O-rings, thus increasing the valve's service life.

[0021] The simplified external structure requires only one side to use fasteners (studs and nuts), which reduces the number of parts needed for assembly and improves the efficiency of finished product production.

[0022] The groove design of the spring seat ring makes it easy for factories to disassemble and assemble valves using special tooling. Factories do not need to disassemble and assemble valves through the disassembly and assembly holes, which effectively increases the frequency of use and lifespan of the disassembly and assembly holes on the valve body.

[0028] The valve body 1 contains a ball 4, and a valve seat 5 is provided between the ball 4 and the valve body 1. A spring seat 6 is provided inside the valve seat 5, and an elastic component is provided inside the spring seat 6 to make the valve seat 5 fit with the ball 4. Sufficient displacement should be left between the valve seat 5 and the valve body 1 during the design. One end of the valve seat 5 fits against the ball 3, and the other end abuts against the spring seat 6.

[0035] In this embodiment, the valve seat 5 is machined into a tapered shape at the end facing the ball 4. The tapered design of the valve seat at the end facing the ball allows for separation and fitting of the ball and valve seat during disassembly and assembly, facilitating online disassembly and assembly of the valve and reducing the difficulty of online maintenance.

[0036] In this embodiment, during the specific implementation process, the valve stem 3 passes through the gland flange 12 and is connected to the ball 4 via a spring to the valve body 1. The valve stem 3 is provided with a packing gasket ring. The gland flange 12 is provided with a pressure ring, and the pressure ring is connected to the gland flange 12 via screws.

[0037] The valve body is a two-piece bolted valve body, which has fewer leakage points than the conventional three-piece bolted valve body, and the number of parts is reduced, making assembly simpler and improving sealing performance.

[0038] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly.
