Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 2This embodiment provides a leak detection device for a ball valve moving ring, including a moving ring 2 slidably disposed in the valve body 1. A first oil chamber 3 is provided on the outer side of the moving ring 2. Oil enters the first oil chamber 3 and pushes the moving ring 2 to move backward, thereby separating the moving ring 2 from the valve core 13. A second oil chamber 4 is provided at the rear end of the moving ring 2. Oil enters the second oil chamber 4 and pushes the moving ring 2 to move forward, thereby making the moving ring 2 contact the valve core 13 and squeeze to seal, thus closing the valve. Two first seals 6 are provided between the first oil chamber 3 and the inner channel 5 of the valve body 1. The first seals 6 are located between the valve body 1 and the moving ring 2. Water flows through the channel 5. The first seals 6 are used to isolate the water in the channel 5 and the oil in the first oil chamber 3 to prevent them from mixing. Two second seals 7 are provided between the second oil chamber 4 and the inner channel 5 of the valve body 1. The second seals 7 are located between the valve body 1 and the moving ring 2. The second seals 7 are used to isolate the water in the channel 5 and the oil in the second oil chamber 4 to prevent them from mixing. A first liquid collection groove 8 is provided on the valve body 1 between the two first seals 6. A second liquid collection groove 9 is provided on the valve body 1 between the two second seals 7. The first liquid collection groove 8 is connected to the first leak detection hole 10 on the valve body 1. The second liquid collection groove 9 is connected to the second leak detection hole 11 on the valve body 1. The first leak detection hole 10 and the second leak detection hole 11 are connected to the outside. The pressure is lower than the pressure in the channel 5 and the pressure in the oil chamber. In this invention, when the first seal 6 near the channel 5 ages or wears down, reducing its sealing performance, water from the channel 5 enters the first collection tank 8. The water in the first collection tank 8 then flows to the first leak detection hole 10, which has lower pressure. By observing the water discharged from the first leak detection hole 10, it can be determined that the first seal 6 near the channel 5 has failed. This method allows for timely replacement of the faulty first seal 6 and prevents water from the channel 5 from entering the first oil cavity 3, causing water leakage. Similarly, when the first seal 6 near the first oil cavity 3 ages or wears down, reducing its sealing performance, oil from the first oil cavity 3 enters the first collection tank 8. The oil in the first collection tank 8 then flows to the first leak detection hole 10, which has lower pressure. By observing the oil discharged from the first leak detection hole 10, it can be determined that the first seal 6 near the first oil cavity 3 has failed. This method allows for timely replacement of the faulty first seal 6 and prevents oil from the first oil cavity 3 from entering the channel 5, causing oil leakage. When both first seals 6 fail to seal, water in channel 5 and oil in the first oil chamber 3 enter the first collection tank 8 and then flow to the first leak detection hole 10, which has lower pressure. By observing the oil-water mixture discharged from the first leak detection hole 10, it can be determined that both first seals 6 have failed. This method allows for timely replacement of the faulty first seal 6 without causing water or oil leakage. Similarly, by observing the water discharged from the second leak detection hole 11, it can be determined that the second seal 7 near channel 5 has failed. This method allows for timely replacement of the faulty second seal 7 without causing water from channel 5 to enter the second oil chamber 4 and cause water leakage.By observing the oil discharged from the second leak detection hole 11, it can be determined that the second seal 7 on the side near the second oil chamber 4 has failed. This method allows for timely replacement of the faulty second seal 7 and prevents oil from entering the channel 5 and causing cross-contamination. By observing the oil-water mixture discharged from the second leak detection hole 11, it can be determined that both second seals 7 have failed. This method allows for timely replacement of the faulty second seals 7 and prevents cross-contamination of water and oil. This utility model has a simple structure. By setting two first seals 6 between the first oil chamber 3 and the channel 5, and cooperating with the first liquid collection tank 8 and the first leak detection hole 10, the fault location can be determined in time after a sealing problem occurs in the first seal 6, and cross-contamination of water or oil can be prevented after water or oil leakage. By setting two second seals 7 between the second oil chamber 4 and the channel 5, and cooperating with the second liquid collection tank 9 and the second leak detection hole 11, the fault location can be determined in time after a sealing problem occurs in the second seal 7, and cross-contamination of water or oil can be prevented after water or oil leakage.
