Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a ball valve, and more specifically, to a sealing ball valve. Background Technology
[0002] A ball valve is a valve in which the valve stem drives the valve's opening and closing mechanism, causing it to rotate around the valve's axis. It can also be used for fluid regulation and control. Hard-seal V-type ball valves, in particular, have a strong shearing force between the V-shaped ball core and the metal seat, which is overlaid with hard alloy. This makes them especially suitable for media containing fibers or small solid particles. The valve core of a hard-seal ball valve is made of alloy steel by spray welding, and the sealing ring is also made of alloy steel by overlay welding. Therefore, hard-seal ball valves do not experience significant wear during opening and closing. Ball valves are a common type of valve, effectively controlling the flow of gas or liquid in pipelines.
[0003] Ball valves are characterized by good wear resistance, excellent sealing performance, and easy opening and closing. However, during use, the sealing parts of ball valves wear out quickly, leading to seal failure between the valve seat and the ball, which results in the ball valve being less durable.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sealing ball valve, comprising a valve body 1, a ball 2, and a valve stem 3, wherein the valve body 1 is provided with an inlet channel 11 and an outlet channel 12, the ball 2 is connected to the valve stem 3 and rotatably connected between the inlet channel 11 and the outlet channel 12, the valve body 1 is provided with a sealing surface 13, the sealing surface 13 is provided on one side of the inlet channel 11, and an elastic sealing seat 4 is movably installed between the sealing surface 13 and the ball 2;
[0031] The sealing surface 13 is provided with a positioning spring 5 and a moving spring 6. There are two sets of both the positioning spring 5 and the moving spring 6, which are arranged alternately at equal intervals along the circumference of the sealing surface 13.
[0032] The design of this utility model, through the design of positioning spring 5 and moving spring 6, allows the positioning spring 5 and moving spring 6 to push the elastic sealing seat 4 to circumferentially abut against the ball 2 when the moving spring 6 is not adjusted, thus forming a seal.
[0033] After prolonged use, the performance of the spring and the elastic sealing seat 4 will change. At this time, the contact between the elastic sealing seat 4 and the ball 2 can be changed by adjusting the moving spring 6, so as to maintain the sealing effect.
[0034] The present invention is further configured such that: the elastic sealing seat 4 includes a sealing ring 41 and a sealing edge 42, the sealing edge 42 is connected to the inner ring of the sealing ring 41 and extends toward the liquid inlet channel 11.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in this structure, the positioning spring 5 and the moving spring 6 are connected and cooperate with the sealing ring 41, and the sealing edge 42 can abut against the pipe wall of the valve body 1, thereby maintaining the effectiveness of the seal during the movement of the elastic sealing seat 4.
[0036] The present invention is further configured such that: the positioning spring component 5 includes a first spring 51, a first positioning rod 52 and a first moving cylinder 53, a positioning groove 14 is provided in the valve body 1, one end of the first positioning rod 52 is fixedly connected in the positioning groove 14, and the first moving cylinder 53 is slidably connected to the first positioning rod 52.
[0037] The first spring 51 is sleeved on the first positioning rod 52, and one end of the first spring 51 is connected to the positioning groove 14, and the other end is connected to the first moving cylinder 53.
[0038] The other end of the first movable cylinder 53 is connected to the elastic sealing seat 4.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, under the action of the first spring 51, the first moving cylinder 53 and the elastic sealing seat 4 will always be pushed to move towards the ball 2, thereby achieving a sealing effect.
[0040] The first positioning rod 52 not only ensures the guiding function of the first moving cylinder 53, but also facilitates the installation of the first spring 51.
[0041] The present invention is further configured such that: the movable spring component 6 includes a second spring 61, a second positioning rod 62, a second movable cylinder 63, a piston plate 64 and a driving component 65; a movable groove 15 is provided in the valve body 1; and the driving component 65 is used to drive the piston plate 64 to move within the movable groove 15.
[0042] The second positioning rod 62 is fixedly connected to the piston plate 64, and the second moving cylinder 63 is slidably connected to the second positioning rod 62;
[0043] The second spring 61 is sleeved on the second positioning rod 62, and one end of the second spring 61 is connected to the piston plate 64, and the other end is connected to the second moving cylinder 63;
[0044] The other end of the second movable cylinder 63 is connected to the elastic sealing seat 4.
[0045] Under the action of the second spring 61, the second moving cylinder 63 and the elastic sealing seat 4 will always be pushed to move towards the ball 2, thereby achieving a sealing effect.
[0046] Similarly, under the action of the second positioning rod 62, it not only ensures the guiding function of the second moving cylinder 63, but also facilitates the installation of the second spring 61.
[0047] In addition, the piston plate 64 can be moved by the drive component 65. When the piston plate 64 moves toward the ball 2, the positions of the second spring 61, the second positioning rod 62 and the second moving cylinder 63 can be changed, thereby further pushing the elastic sealing seat 4 to abut against the ball 2, thus maintaining the original sealing effect.
[0048] The present invention is further configured such that: a pressure chamber 16 and a drive chamber 17 are provided inside the valve body 1, the pressure chamber 16 is connected to the drive chamber 17 and the moving groove 15 respectively, and the drive component 65 is provided inside the drive chamber 17.

[0051] The present invention is further configured such that both the drive block 651 and the transmission rod 653 are provided with a transmission inclined surface 655.
[0052] The design of this structure controls the movement of the drive block 651 through the drive structure 652. At this time, the drive block 651 abuts against the transmission inclined surface 655 of the transmission rod 653. As the drive block 651 moves gradually, it will push the transmission rod 653 to move, thereby causing the piston moving plate 654 to move in the air pressure chamber 16, compressing the space of the air pressure chamber 16 and increasing the internal pressure.
[0053] When the pressure increases, it acts on the piston plate 64, thereby pushing the piston plate 64 to move, causing the positions of the second spring 61, the second positioning rod 62 and the second moving cylinder 63 to change, so that the elastic sealing seat 4 is squeezed towards the ball 2.
[0054] The present invention is further configured such that: the drive structure 652 includes a guide rod 7 and a threaded rod 71, the drive block 651 is slidably connected to the guide rod 7 and threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 71. One end of the threaded rod 71 is provided with an actuating block 72, which is located on the outside of the valve body 1.
[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, when the external rotating block 72 is rotated, the threaded rod 71 rotates, and the driving block 651 engages with the threaded rod 71, causing the driving block 651 to move along the guide rod 7, thus playing a role in linkage with the transmission rod 653.
[0056] When the actuating block 72 rotates, under the action of the elastic sealing seat 4 and the elastic force of the second spring 61, it acts in the opposite direction on the piston plate 64, thereby squeezing the air pressure chamber 16 in the opposite direction, causing the piston moving plate 654 and the transmission rod 653 to return to their original positions.
[0057] Alternatively, a return spring can be provided on the piston plate 64, which will directly reset the piston when the actuating block 72 rotates.
