AI Technical Summary
In existing high-frequency ball valves, uneven force on the ball when the medium accumulates leads to poor sealing performance and internal leakage. Furthermore, the residual gas pressure causes the ball to move around, affecting the sealing performance.
An annular limiting groove was designed to restrict the up-and-down movement of the sphere. Combined with an elastic pad and a gas storage tank, the residual gas pressure was reduced, ensuring that the sphere always remained in the center of the shell and achieving a good seal.
This effectively avoids internal leakage and residual gas movement caused by uneven force on the ball, ensuring that the ball valve maintains a good sealing effect when the medium is compressed.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve technology, and in particular relates to a novel high-frequency ball valve. Background Technology
[0002] High-frequency ball valves are generally used in metering. In some special positions in devices such as polyolefin catalysts, the ball valve is required to be accurate in metering, quick in opening and closing, and have an annual operating frequency of more than one million times. Therefore, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the ball valve, an integrated connecting rod ball structure is used, which has better stability and makes the opening angle of the ball and the drive device completely consistent, making the opening and closing more accurate, while also ensuring the sealing performance of the ball valve.
[0003] The connecting rod ball valve includes an upper valve stem, a middle ball, and a bottom shaft. For example, in a novel high-frequency metering ball valve disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221221502U, the valve stem diameter of the connecting rod ball in earlier designs was smaller than the bottom shaft diameter. Therefore, when pressure accumulates in the middle cavity, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the arrow indicates the position where the medium contacts the surface of the ball. When the diameter of the bottom shaft is larger than the diameter of the valve stem, the medium contact area on the lower side of the ball will be smaller than the medium contact area on the upper side of the ball. Since the pressure within the medium channel remains constant, according to the formula pressure = medium contact area pressure, the pressure on the lower side of the ball is less than the pressure on the upper side. Due to this uneven force, the ball will move downwards, leading to a poorer seal between the ball and the valve seat and causing internal leakage. Furthermore, in this design, when the connecting rod ball is assembled into the housing, residual gas will remain at the bottom of the bottom shaft. However, in this design… The bottom shaft is directly mounted on the valve body via a wave spring. The space for gas storage between the bottom shaft and the valve body is very small, which leads to a relatively high pressure of residual gas. This high pressure of residual gas poses a risk of the ball moving axially upwards, resulting in poor sealing between the ball and the valve seat and causing internal leakage. In the ball valve of the above solution, when the middle cavity of the ball valve is filled with gas, the ball will move downwards, causing internal leakage. The residual gas in the connecting rod ball will cause the ball to move upwards, causing internal leakage. Therefore, in the above solution, the ball will move up and down, resulting in poor sealing between the ball and the valve seat and causing internal leakage.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of high-frequency ball valve to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] The valve rod 21 comprises a valve rod body 211 at the upper end and a first connecting section 212 at the lower end connected with the ball 22, the diameter of the first connecting section 212 is larger than that of the valve rod body 211, and the connection between the valve rod body 211 and the first connecting section 212 is a horizontal second step surface 213, the second step surface 213 is provided with a bearing 214 sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve rod body 211, and an upper end surface of the bearing 214 abuts against the groove wall of the annular limiting groove 11, and the step surface is matched with the annular limiting groove 11, so that the valve rod 21 is limited upwardly, and the connecting rod ball 2 is prevented from moving upwardly.
[0031] The bottom shaft 23 comprises a bottom shaft body 231 at the lower end and a second connecting section 232 at the upper end connected with the ball 22, the diameter of the second connecting section 232 is larger than that of the bottom shaft body 231, and the connection between the bottom shaft body 231 and the second connecting section 232 is a horizontal third step surface 233. A limiting sleeve 234 sleeved on the outer periphery of the bottom shaft body 231 and a bushing 235 are arranged in the mounting groove 13, the limiting sleeve 234 is located at the inner side and is in sealing contact with the bottom shaft body 231, and the outer wall of the bushing 235 is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the mounting groove 13, in order to ensure the sealing effect between the limiting sleeve 234 and the bottom shaft body 231, a first sealing element 236 is arranged between the limiting sleeve 234 and the bottom shaft body 231, and the first sealing element 236 can be an O-shaped sealing ring or a coated spring.
[0032] When the medium is accumulated in the middle cavity of the ball valve, the diameter of the valve rod body 211 is larger than that of the bottom shaft body 231, the medium contact area on the lower side of the ball is larger than that on the upper side of the ball, and the pressure in the medium channel is consistent. According to the formula of pressure = medium contact area pressure, it can be known that the pressure on the lower side of the ball is greater than that on the upper side of the ball, and the ball has a tendency to move upwardly, but the shell 1 is provided with the annular limiting groove 11, which can limit the upward movement of the connecting rod ball 2, and can avoid the upward movement of the ball 22, so that the ball 22 and the valve seat 3 are still in a sealing state, and the internal leakage problem caused by the downward movement of the ball 22 in the prior art can be solved. In order to ensure the stability of the connecting rod ball 2, preferably, the difference between the cross-sectional area of the valve rod body 211 and the cross-sectional area of the bottom shaft body 231 is less than 10%.
[0033] The elastic pad 4 is arranged on the first step surface 14, and a vent hole 41 is arranged in the middle of the elastic pad 4. After the connecting rod ball 2 is assembled into the limiting sleeve 234, the gas at the bottom of the bottom shaft 23 enters the gas storage groove 11 through the vent hole 41. The lower ends of the limiting sleeve 234 and the bushing 235 are pressed on the elastic pad 4, and the upper ends are pressed on the third step surface 233. The elastic pad 4 has great elasticity. After the connecting rod ball 2 compresses the elastic pad 4, the elastic pad 4 generates an upward elastic pre-tightening force, which can prevent the connecting rod ball 2 from moving downward, thereby ensuring the sealing effect between the ball body 22 and the valve seat 3. Preferably, the ratio of the size of the high elastic pre-tightening force to the size of the weight of the ball body 22 is 60%, which can prevent the ball body 22 from moving downward.
[0034] Therefore, the annular limiting groove 11 can limit the upward movement of the connecting rod ball 2, and the elastic pad 4 can prevent the downward movement of the ball body 22. The scheme can keep the ball body 22 always at the center position of the inner cavity of the shell 1. Even if there is a pressure accumulation in the inner cavity of the ball valve, the ball body 22 and the valve seat 3 can always be in contact and have good sealing effect, which can avoid the internal leakage of the ball valve.
[0035] After the connecting rod ball 2 is assembled into the limiting sleeve 234, the gas at the bottom of the bottom shaft 23 enters the gas storage groove 11 through the vent hole 41. The gas storage groove 11 can store the residual gas when the connecting rod ball 2 is installed. The gas storage groove 11 can greatly reduce the pressure of the residual gas, so that the pressure of the residual gas is basically consistent with the atmospheric pressure, which can prevent the upward movement of the ball body 22 and solve the problem of upward movement of the connecting rod ball 2 caused by the residual gas.
[0036] The valve seat 3 includes a sealing surface 31 for realizing gap sealing with the ball body 22, a first matching surface 32 and a second matching surface 33 matched with the inner wall of the shell 1. The first matching surface 32 is arranged vertically, and the second matching surface is arranged horizontally. An elastic member 5 is arranged on the inner wall of the shell 1 and abuts against the first matching surface 32. A first accommodating groove is arranged on the inner wall of the shell 1 and accommodates the elastic member 5. The elastic member 5 provides a pre-tightening force for the valve seat 3. When the ball body 22 presses the sealing surface 31, the valve seat 3 will press the elastic member 5, so that the elastic member 5 is compressed. The stretched elastic member 5 moves the valve seat 3 to one side of the ball body 22, and the elastic deformation of the valve seat 3 realizes the gap sealing between the valve seat 3 and the ball body 22. A second accommodating groove is arranged on the second matching surface 33, and a second sealing member 34 for realizing the sealing between the valve seat 3 and the inner wall of the shell 1 is arranged in the second accommodating groove. The second sealing member 34 can be an O-shaped sealing ring or a coated spring, which is used to realize the sealing between the valve seat 3 and the inner wall of the shell 1.
