[0056] In use,
[0057] Put half-encapsulated cover ring one 3 and half-encapsulated cover ring two 18 into the three-piece valve body 4 respectively on both sides of the inner chamber 21, and make the openings opposite. Then put the three-piece straight-through ball 5 into the chamber 21 between the two half-encapsulated cover rings, and use the clamping effect of the half-encapsulated cover rings to position the straight-through ball 5, ensuring its stability in high or negative pressure environment.
[0058] Put the threaded column at the bottom end of the valve stem 6 through the hole at the top of the three-piece straight-through ball 5, and screw the locking nut that matches the threaded column of the valve stem 6 into the inside of the straight-through ball 5 to fix the relative position of the valve stem 6 and the straight-through ball 5, so that the valve stem 6 can rotate the straight-through ball 5.
[0059] Put the annular sealing washer 2 into the notch 17 at the opening of both ends of the three-piece valve body 4. Since the depth of the notch 17 is less than the thickness of the annular sealing washer 2, the sealing washer will generate a certain amount of pre-tightening force after installation to enhance the sealing effect.
[0060] Put the quick-mounting valve cover 1 at both ends of the three-piece valve body 4, and align the connecting lugs 19 on the quick-mounting valve cover 1 with the corresponding positions on the valve body 4.
[0061] Pass the hexagonal head bolt 14 through the through hole 20 of the two corresponding connecting lugs 19 in turn, and then tighten the hexagonal nut 15. During this process, the spring washer 16 will be elastically deformed due to the tightening of the nut, providing a continuous elastic force to ensure the firmness of the connection and prevent loosening.
[0062] From the bottom end of the valve stem 6, install the valve stem washer 7, O-ring 8, combined washer 9, packing press sleeve 10, two oppositely arranged butterfly springs 11, hexagonal thin nut 12, and stop washer 13 in turn. The valve stem washer 7 serves a sealing function to prevent leakage of the medium from the bottom of the valve stem; the O-ring 8 further enhances the sealing performance at the valve stem; the combined washer 9 provides support and assists in sealing; the packing press sleeve 10 compresses the packing to prevent leakage of the medium; the butterfly spring 11 provides a restoring force, making the valve stem 6 move flexibly and evenly; the hexagonal thin nut 12 fixes the butterfly spring 11 and the packing press sleeve 10, and the stop washer 13 prevents the hexagonal thin nut 12 from loosening.
[0063] Through the threaded connection column at the top end of the valve stem 6, according to the standard thread design, it is quickly and reliably connected with external equipment (such as hand wheel, electric actuator, etc.).
[0064] Drive the valve stem 6 to rotate through the external equipment (such as hand wheel, electric actuator, etc.). The valve stem 6 drives the three-piece straight-through ball 5 to rotate synchronously. When the straight-through ball 5 rotates 90 degrees, the flow passage holes at both ends of the straight-through ball 5 align with the flow passages of the three-piece valve body 4. At this time, the valve is open, and the fluid can pass smoothly through the valve body 4.
[0065] Again, the external device is operated to rotate the valve stem 6 reversely by 90 degrees, and the straight-through ball 5 is also rotated reversely by 90 degrees, the flow channel holes at both ends of the straight-through ball 5 are misaligned with the flow channel of the valve body 4, the fluid is prevented from passing through, and the valve is closed.
