Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a buried ball valve with anti-corrosion function, belonging to the field of ball valve technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, buried ball valves, due to their long-term underground installation, are frequently exposed to high humidity and highly corrosive soil conditions, making them prone to corrosion. This corrosion can lead to decreased sealing performance, shortened lifespan, and even equipment failure. Existing buried ball valves typically improve corrosion resistance through the use of anti-corrosion coatings or materials, but these methods still have limitations in practical applications. For example, the coating is susceptible to mechanical damage or chemical corrosion, which can cause it to fail.

[0003] A search of existing technologies revealed a Chinese patent (CN214466275U) disclosing a corrosion-resistant, multi-functional buried ball valve. This patent uses a cover on the outside of the ball valve, with absorbent cotton inside to prevent corrosion from affecting the valve body. However, in practical use, it was found that the cover opens from the side via a hinge, making maintenance and repair difficult after burial, increasing the complexity of maintenance.

[0041] Handle 7 is detachably mounted on the connecting prism at the upper end of the connecting shaft.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-4 As shown, during use, the valve body 3 is installed on the valve body mounting bracket 2 inside the housing 1, and the inlet and outlet pipes pass through the pipe grooves of the housing 1 to connect to the outside. The magnetic seal 5, in conjunction with the magnetic seal groove on the housing cover 4, provides a good sealing effect when closed. Furthermore, the rotating connector 6 on the housing cover 4 allows the valve body 3 to be opened and closed via an external handle 7.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the pipe channel of box 1 is a U-shaped groove, and a vertical guide groove is provided on the side wall of the U-shaped groove;

[0044] The buried ball valve with anti-corrosion function also includes two sealing sliders 8. The sealing sliders 8 have guide protrusions on both sides that are adapted to the vertical guide groove, and the sealing sliders 8 have semi-circular grooves adapted to the inlet and outlet pipes.

[0045] The guide protrusion of the sealing slider 8 is adapted to slide vertically on the vertical guide groove and form a sealing fit with the inlet and outlet pipes set on the U-shaped groove.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, sealing gaskets are provided on the inner wall of the U-shaped groove and in the semi-circular groove of the sealing slider 8.
