[0002] Ball valve as an important fluid control device, is widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, natural gas and other industrial fields, and its core function is to realize the opening and closing of flow passage through the rotation of ball. The structure of traditional fixed ball valve usually adopts integrated valve body design, that is, the valve body and the upper valve rod seat (valve rod support structure) are integrally cast or processed into shape. Although such design has certain reliability under normal working conditions, under severe working conditions of high pressure, high temperature or frequent opening and closing, the following technical pain points still exist:

[0003] Firstly, when the valve bears high pressure or temperature fluctuation, the medium pressure is easily transmitted to the ball through the valve seat, and then acts on the valve rod, forming an upward axial thrust. The upper valve rod seat of the traditional integrated valve body is rigidly connected with the valve body, lacks effective constraint on the axial displacement of the valve rod, and has the risk of "blowing out" of the valve rod by the medium pressure. Once the valve rod has axial displacement, it will lead to sealing failure, aggravated filler wear, and even cause medium leakage and other safety accidents.

[0004] Secondly, if the upper valve rod seat of the integrated structure is worn or damaged, the valve body needs to be replaced or repaired by complex processing, which has high maintenance cost and long downtime. In addition, the installation of the valve rod usually adopts "downloading type" structure, that is, the valve rod and the ball are assembled at the bottom of the valve body, which requires disassembling the whole valve during online maintenance (such as replacing the filler and the valve rod), and it is difficult to meet the needs of modern industry for rapid repair of equipment.
