Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, and in particular to ball valves that are easy to replace. Background Technology
[0002] A ball valve is a valve in which the opening and closing element (ball) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the axis of the ball valve. It can also be used for fluid regulation and control.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent with publication number CN201982709U discloses a threaded ball valve, which includes a ball valve body and a switch handle. The ball valve body has sealing rings and internal threads on both the front and rear ends, and a switch handle is provided at the top middle of the ball valve body.
[0004] Like most ball valves on the market, the ball valve in this patent has its switch handle (grip) directly fixed or bolted to the valve body. When the handle is damaged or needs to be replaced with a different size handle, it is necessary to disassemble the handle with a tool, which makes the whole operation process quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a ball valve that is easy to replace.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an easy-to-replace ball valve, including a valve body, a valve core provided in the valve body, a valve fixedly connected to the top of the valve core, a valve stem passing through the valve body, a limit rod fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem, a snap-fit sleeve sleeved on the outside of the limit rod, a handle fixedly connected to the outside of the snap-fit sleeve, an installation groove provided in the limit rod, a lifting adjustment component passing through the installation groove, and a limit component for abutting the snap-fit sleeve in the installation groove, the limit component and the lifting adjustment component working together.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the grip can be installed by fitting the snap-fit sleeve onto the outside of the preferred lever. Then, by controlling the lifting adjustment component, the valve body can move the limiting component, which limits the snap-fit sleeve to be installed outside the limiting lever. Therefore, in this embodiment, the grip on the valve body can be replaced conveniently and quickly.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the lifting adjustment assembly includes a lifting column slidably connected in the mounting groove and a conical block fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting column. A limit ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the lifting column, and two locking interfaces are provided on the outside of the lifting column. A pin is rotatably connected to the top of the limit rod, a locking plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the pin, a torsion spring is sleeved on the outside of the pin, and a limit block is also fixedly connected to the top of the limit rod.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting component can be abutted by the lifting control of the conical block, thereby realizing the limiting installation of the snap-fit sleeve. Then, the snap-fit position can be locked by the snap-fit plate and the snap-fit interface.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that a pressing rod is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting column, and a first spring is connected between the conical block and the mounting groove.
[0011] Using the above technical solution, the lifting column can be easily operated and adjusted by pressing the lever, and the first spring plays a reset role.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the limiting component includes a limiting post that passes through the mounting groove and the limiting rod, a fixing ring that is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting post, and a second spring that is sleeved on the outside of the limiting post, wherein the two ends of the second spring are fixedly connected to the fixing ring and the inner wall of the mounting groove, respectively.
[0013] Using the above technical solution, the pressing rod drives the conical block to move upward, and the outside of the conical block abuts against the limiting post, thereby allowing the limiting post to extend and limit the vertical direction of the snap-fit sleeve.
[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the limiting rod has a polygonal structure, and the inner cavity of the snap-fit sleeve fits against the outer wall of the limiting rod.
[0015] The above technical solution facilitates the rotation of the limit rod and valve stem when the rotating snap sleeve is rotated.
[0016] A further feature of this invention is that the diameter of the limiting ring is larger than the diameter of the lifting column.
[0017] The above technical solution facilitates the blocking of the snap-fit plate by using the limiting ring.
[0018] A further feature of this invention is that the end of the limiting post near the conical block is a spherical structure, and the conical block is a frustum-shaped structure.
[0019] Using the above technical solution, the spherical structure at the end of the limiting post facilitates the blocking of the conical block.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, in this utility model, the grip is installed by fitting the snap-fit sleeve onto the outside of the preferred lever. Then, by controlling the lifting adjustment component, the Russian can drive the limiting component to move. The limiting component limits the snap-fit sleeve to be installed outside the limiting lever. Therefore, in this embodiment, the grip on the valve body can be replaced conveniently and quickly, and the operation process is quick and convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 The present invention will be further described below.
[0033] In order to solve the problems existing in the background art, this application proposes the following technical solution: a ball valve that is easy to replace, including a valve body 1, a valve core 20 is provided inside the valve body 1, a valve is fixedly connected to the top of the valve core 20, and a valve stem 2 passes through the valve body 1.
[0034] In the specific technical solution, a limiting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve stem 2. A snap-fit sleeve 16 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 4. The limiting rod 4 has a polygonal structure. The inner cavity of the snap-fit sleeve 16 fits against the outer wall of the limiting rod 4. In this embodiment, the limiting rod 4 has a hexagonal structure.
[0035] In a further design, a handle 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the snap-fit sleeve 16, and an installation groove 15 is provided inside the limit rod 4. A lifting adjustment component is provided through the installation groove 15, and a limit component for abutting the snap-fit sleeve 16 is also provided in the installation groove 15. The limit component and the lifting adjustment component are used together.
[0036] Specifically, the lifting adjustment assembly includes a lifting column 6 slidably connected in the mounting groove 15 and a conical block 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting column 6. The conical block 13 is used to abut against the limiting column 17 in the limiting assembly. The conical block 13 has a frustum-shaped structure. A limiting ring 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the lifting column 6. The diameter of the limiting ring 7 is larger than the diameter of the lifting column 6. Under the action of the limiting ring 7, when the lifting column 6 moves downward, the limiting ring 7 can abut against the top of the snap-fit plate 9 to form a blockage.
[0037] The lifting column 6 has two locking interfaces 8 on its exterior. The top of the limiting rod 4 is rotatably connected to a pin 11. The pin 11 is fixedly connected to a locking plate 9. A torsion spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the pin 11. Under the torsion of the torsion spring 12, the locking plate 9 can rotate towards the lifting column 6. The top of the limiting rod 4 is also fixedly connected to a limiting block 10, which is used to block the locking plate 9. In addition, the top of the lifting column 6 is fixedly connected to a pressing rod 5. A first spring 14 is connected between the conical block 13 and the mounting groove 15.
[0038] The above technical solution is explained as follows: Insert the snap-fit sleeve 16 on the handle 3 into the outside of the limiting rod 4, then pull the pressing rod 5 upward, and then under the action of the torsion spring 12, the snap-fit plate 9 snaps into the snap-fit interface 8 on the outside of the lifting column 6, thus restricting the lifting column 6.
[0039] In a further design, the limiting component in this embodiment includes a limiting post 17 that passes through the mounting groove 15 and the limiting rod 4, a fixing ring 18 fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting post 17, and a second spring 19 sleeved on the outside of the limiting post 17. The end of the limiting post 17 near the conical block 13 is a spherical structure. The two ends of the second spring 19 are fixedly connected to the fixing ring 18 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 15, respectively. This allows the pressing rod 5 to drive the conical block 13 to move upward, and the outside of the conical block 13 to abut against the limiting post 17, thereby allowing the limiting post 17 to extend and limit the vertical direction of the snap-fit sleeve 16.
[0040] To ensure that those skilled in the art can fully understand the technical solution, this embodiment is summarized as follows:
[0041] When in use, valve body 1 is installed on the pipeline;
[0042] Then insert the snap-fit sleeve 16 on the handle 3 into the outside of the limiting rod 4, and then pull the pressing rod 5 upward to make the pressing rod 5 drive the cone block 13 to move upward. The outside of the cone block 13 abuts against the limiting post 17, thereby allowing the limiting post 17 to extend and limit the snap-fit sleeve 16 in the vertical direction.
[0043] Then, under the action of the torsion spring 12, the snap plate 9 snaps onto the snap interface 8 on the outside of the lifting column 6, thus restricting the lifting column 6 (snap into the lowest positioning hole).
[0044] When the handle 3 needs to be replaced or disassembled, simply rotate the locking plate 9 so that it is no longer engaged with the positioning port. Then, under the tension of the first spring 14, the conical block 13 and the lifting column 6 can be pulled downwards, so that the lifting column 6 and the conical block 13 no longer abut against the limiting post 17. Then, under the tension of the second spring 19, the limiting post 17 retracts into the mounting groove 15. Finally, the locking sleeve 16 and the handle 3 can be removed upwards. (Refer to the attached document.) Figure 8 3. For grips of other shapes after replacement.
