Furthermore, the thermal expansion of the first and second sealing rings greatly improves the sealing performance between the ball core and the ball valve body. The overall structure is simple, reducing the problem of inconvenient maintenance caused by complex structures. The specific details are as follows:

[0016] (1) The ball valve body and the ball core are made of high temperature resistant material, which can maintain structural stability and reliable performance in high temperature environment, avoid material deformation and damage caused by high temperature, ensure the safety of medium transportation, reduce the problem that the butterfly spring is easily affected by high temperature, and when high temperature medium is transported inside the ball valve body, the expansion of the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring greatly improves the sealing performance between the ball core and the ball valve body.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Example 1: In this example, the ball valve body 1 and the ball core 5 are made of high-temperature resistant material, which can maintain structural stability and reliable performance in high-temperature environments, avoid material deformation and damage caused by high temperatures, ensure the safety of media transportation, and reduce the problem of the butterfly spring being easily affected by high temperatures. Figures 1-4The technical solution shown includes a ball valve body 1, inside which is a ball core 5. A through groove 6 is formed on the ball core 5. Both ends of the ball valve body 1 are connected to a first pipe 3 via a sealing element 2. A first sealing ring 8 is provided on the outer side of the ball core 5, and a first sealing groove 9 is formed on the inner side of the ball valve body 1. The first sealing ring 8 and the first sealing groove 9 are adapted to each other. Support seats 10 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the ball core 5, located inside the ball valve body 1. A second sealing ring 11 is installed on the support seat 10, located inside a second sealing groove 12. A valve stem 4 is installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the ball core 5, and is connected to the upper end of the ball valve body 1. A sealing packing 7 is installed on the outside of the valve stem 4. The ball valve body 1 is connected to the first pipes 3 at both ends via a sealing element 2. When the valve stem 4 is used, it drives the ball core 5 to rotate inside the ball valve body 1, causing the through groove 6 on the ball core 5 to connect with the first pipe 3, facilitating the transmission of the medium. The ball valve body 1 and the ball core 5 are made of high-temperature resistant material, ensuring structural stability and reliable performance under high-temperature environments, preventing material deformation and damage due to high temperatures, and protecting the medium. The safety of the ball valve is improved by reducing the impact of high temperatures on the butterfly spring. Furthermore, a sealing packing 7 is installed on the outside of the valve stem 4, effectively preventing media leakage from the valve stem 4 and improving the overall sealing performance of the ball valve body 1. When the ball core 5 continues to rotate, making the through groove 6 perpendicular to the first pipe 3, the first sealing ring 8 on the side of the ball core 5 seals the first sealing groove 9 inside the ball valve body 1, ensuring that the media cannot leak when the ball valve body 1 is closed, thus enhancing the sealing performance of the ball valve body 1. The sealing performance is improved, and the ball core 5 rotates on the support base 10. The second sealing ring 11 on the support base 10 rotates inside the second sealing groove 12 opened on the upper and lower surfaces of the ball core 5, which further improves the sealing performance and stability of the ball core 5 when it rotates, reduces the risk of medium leakage, and the first sealing ring 8 and the second sealing ring 11 expand when heated. When high temperature medium is transported inside the ball valve body 1, the expansion of the first sealing ring 8 and the second sealing ring 11 greatly improves the sealing performance between the ball core 5 and the ball valve body 1. The overall structure is simple, reducing the problem of inconvenient maintenance caused by complex structures.

[0031] Example 2: In this example, the water-stopping particles 17 expand rapidly upon contact with water, facilitating the sealing of gaps and enabling emergency repairs. This effectively and promptly stops leaks. Specifically, as shown... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first pipe 3 is connected to the second pipe 13 via a flange structure. A protective assembly is provided on the outside of the connection between the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 13. The protective assembly includes an auxiliary lower cover 14 and an auxiliary upper cover 15 installed at the connection between the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 13. The auxiliary lower cover 14 and the auxiliary upper cover 15 are connected by bolts. An auxiliary cover 16 is threaded onto the auxiliary upper cover 15. Water-stopping particles 17 are provided inside the auxiliary lower cover 14 and the auxiliary upper cover 15. The first pipe 3 is connected to the second pipe 13 via a flange structure. At this time, the auxiliary lower cover 14 and the auxiliary upper cover 15 can be fitted onto the first pipe. The connection between the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 13 is protected to prevent external factors from damaging the connection and causing leakage. The auxiliary cover 16 is unscrewed, and water-stopping particles 17 are poured into the auxiliary lower cover 14 and auxiliary upper cover 15. Since the water-stopping particles 17 have strong water absorption, when a gap occurs at the connection between the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 13 and leaks, the water-stopping particles 17 will expand rapidly when they come into contact with water, which can easily block the gap and allow for emergency repairs. This can stop the leakage in a timely and effective manner, reduce the waste of resources and safety hazards caused by leakage, and facilitate maintenance personnel to come to the scene for maintenance operations.

[0032] Example 3: In this example, the alarm 24 activates an alarm function to promptly alert staff to a leak in the pipes, facilitating quick repair measures. Specifically, as follows... Figures 5-7 As shown, an auxiliary plate 18 is installed at the bottom of the lower auxiliary cover 14, a guide rod 20 is installed inside the upper auxiliary cover 15, a lifting plate 19 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 20, a spring 21 is provided on the upper surface of the lifting plate 19, the spring 21 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 20, a first contact piece 22 is provided on the upper surface of the lifting plate 19, a second contact piece 23 is installed at the top inside the upper auxiliary cover 15, the first contact piece 22 and the second contact piece 23 are adapted to each other, and an alarm 24 is installed on the upper auxiliary cover 15. When a gap occurs at the connection between the first pipe 3 and the second pipe 13 and leaks water, the water will cause the water-stopping particles 17 to expand. At this time, the lifting plate 19 is moved upward by the water-stopping particles 17, causing the guide rod 20 to expand. When the spring 21 on the outside of the rod 20 is compressed, the first contact piece 22 at the upper end of the lifting plate 19 comes into contact with the second contact piece 23 at the top inside the auxiliary upper cover 15, causing the alarm 24 to sound an alarm. This promptly alerts staff to any water leakage in the pipes, facilitating quick repairs. Excess water overflows through the auxiliary piece 18 at the bottom of the auxiliary lower cover 14, reducing damage caused by the continuous expansion of the water-stopping particles 17. This ensures the structural integrity of the auxiliary lower cover 14 and the auxiliary upper cover 15, extending the overall service life of the device. Any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
