Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, specifically to a valve with auxiliary sealing. Background Technology
[0002] Ball valves are devices used for the regulation and control of fluids, and are particularly suitable for media containing fibers, small solid particles, etc.
[0003] The current ball valve has the following problems: (1) After the ball valve is closed, the sealing is achieved only by the ball itself and the channel in the valve body in close contact, and the sealing effect is not good; (2) The valve stem and the ball are either connected by threads or only by a set of screws. After long-term rotation, the valve stem and the ball are prone to slippage; (3) A sealing sleeve is usually provided at the contact point between the valve stem and the valve cover to prevent liquid from leaking out of the valve stem. However, after long-term rotation of the valve stem, the sealing sleeve may be worn. Since the sealing sleeve is located inside the valve cover, it is difficult to replace. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a valve with auxiliary sealing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A valve with auxiliary sealing includes a valve body that extends through the valve body from left to right. A valve cover is bolted to the valve body, and a valve stem is rotatably connected to the valve cover via a rotary bearing. A ball valve is detachably connected to the lower end of the valve stem. The lower end of the ball valve has a downwardly protruding rotating shaft. A groove is provided on the bottom surface of the middle part of the valve body, and a lower bearing sleeve is fixed in the groove. A lower sealing sleeve is provided in the lower bearing sleeve. The rotating shaft is rotatably disposed in the lower sealing sleeve. The two sealing surfaces of the ball valve have convex rings with trapezoidal cross-sections. A main sealing gasket is fixed to the end face of the convex ring away from the valve. Sealing seats are fixed on both sides of the valve body. The opposite surfaces of the two sealing seats have grooves that match the convex rings. A secondary sealing gasket is provided in the grooves. When the ball valve is in the closed state, the convex rings are embedded in the grooves, and the main sealing gasket and the secondary sealing gasket are aligned end to end. A cover is bolted to the upper end of the valve cover, and the upper end of the valve stem extends into the cover. A drive mechanism for driving the valve stem to rotate is provided on the cover.

[0010] With the above technical solution, the lower end of the valve stem is secured by two limiting screws. One limiting screw is engaged in the notch, and the other is engaged on the inclined side, thus fastening the valve stem to the connecting seat. In addition, the connecting seat is equipped with two connecting blocks, which are connected to the straight edge of the valve stem by screws, thereby further fixing the valve stem to the connecting seat, preventing slippage between the valve stem and the connecting seat, and extending the service life.
[0011] Preferably, the lower part of the valve cover is provided with an upper bearing sleeve, the valve stem is rotatably disposed in the upper bearing sleeve, and an upper sealing sleeve is provided in the upper bearing sleeve.
[0012] By employing the above technical solution and incorporating upper and lower bearing sleeves, the ball valve can rotate more smoothly. The upper and lower sealing sleeves further enhance sealing performance.
[0013] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the valve cover and the valve body.
[0014] The above technical solution, by setting a sealing ring, can prevent liquid in the valve body from leaking from the valve cover and its connection.
[0015] Preferably, the valve cover has a through hole to expose part of the valve stem. A filling groove is provided in the valve cover (2) near the through hole. An elastic sealing sleeve is placed in the filling groove. The sealing sleeve has a cut and can be unfolded into a plane along the cut. A retaining strip is provided on one cut of the sealing sleeve, and a retaining groove matching the retaining strip is provided on the other cut. After the sealing sleeve covers the valve stem, the retaining strip is locked in the retaining groove. A pressure cap is fastened in the filling groove.

[0016] The above technical solution, through the setting of the sealing sleeve, can prevent liquid from leaking outward from the connection between the valve stem and the valve cover. When the sealing sleeve is damaged and the sealing performance is poor, the gland can be opened, the sealing sleeve can be removed, and a new sealing sleeve can be replaced, making maintenance convenient.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] (1) After the ball valve is closed, the convex rings on both sides just abut against the groove of the sealing seat at one end, and the main sealing gasket on the convex ring and the secondary sealing gasket in the groove are connected, thus playing a double sealing role and improving the sealing performance.
[0019] (2) The valve stem is stably fixed on the ball valve by the action of the limiting screw, connecting block and screw, which prevents the valve stem from slipping after long-term use and extends the service life.
[0020] (2) By setting the sealing sleeve, liquid can be prevented from leaking out from the connection between the valve stem and the valve cover. When the sealing sleeve is damaged and the sealing performance is poor, the pressure cover can be opened, the sealing sleeve can be taken out, and a new sealing sleeve can be replaced. Maintenance is convenient. Attached Figure Description

An upper bearing sleeve 23 is provided in the lower part of the valve cover 2. The valve stem 3 is rotatably disposed in the upper bearing sleeve 23. An upper sealing sleeve is provided inside the upper bearing sleeve 23. By setting the upper bearing sleeve 23 and the lower bearing sleeve 7, the rotation of the ball valve 4 can be made smoother. In addition, the setting of the upper and lower sealing sleeves can improve the sealing performance and prevent the medium from leaking or flowing.
[0030] The lower end of the valve stem 3 is detachably connected to a ball valve 4. Specifically, one side of the lower outer wall of the valve stem 3 has an L-shaped notch 17, and the other side has a beveled edge 18. The front and rear sides of the lower part of the valve stem 3 have straight edges 19. A connecting seat 20 is fixed to the top of the ball valve 4. The connecting seat 20 has first screw holes on both sides, and two limiting screws 21 are connected through the first screw holes. One limiting screw 21 abuts against the notch 17, and the other limiting screw 21 abuts against the beveled edge 18. Connecting blocks 22 are provided on the front and rear sides of the connecting seat 20. The two connecting blocks 22 abut against the straight edges 19 of the valve stem. The valve stem 3, connecting blocks 22, and connecting seat 20 are fixedly connected by screws. The lower end of the valve stem 3 is clamped by the two limiting screws 21. One limiting screw 21 is clamped in the notch 17, and the other limiting screw 21 is clamped on the beveled edge 18, which can fasten the valve stem 3 and the connecting seat 20. In addition, the connecting seat 20 is provided with two connecting blocks 22, and the connecting blocks 22 are connected to the straight edge 19 of the valve stem by screws, thereby further fixing the valve stem 3 and the connecting seat 20, playing a double fastening role, preventing slippage between the valve stem 3 and the connecting seat 20, and extending the service life.
[0031] The ball valve 4 has two closed surfaces with raised rings 8. The cross-section of the raised rings 8 is trapezoidal, and a main sealing gasket 9 is fixed to the end face of the raised rings 8 away from the valve. Sealing seats 10 are fixed on both sides inside the valve body 1. The opposite surfaces of the two sealing seats 10 have grooves that match the raised rings. A secondary sealing gasket 11 is provided in the groove. When the ball valve 4 is in the closed state, the raised rings 8 are embedded in the grooves, and the main sealing gasket 9 and the secondary sealing gasket 11 are aligned end to end. The upper end of the valve cover 2 is connected to the cover 12 by bolts. The upper end of the valve stem 3 extends into the cover 12. The cover 12 is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the valve stem 3 to rotate. The drive mechanism includes a shaft 13 rotatably connected to the cover through a rotary bearing, a wheel 14 connected to the outer end of the shaft, a first bevel gear 15 fixedly connected to the inner end of the shaft, and a second bevel gear 16 fixedly connected to the upper end of the valve stem. The first bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 16 mesh. Rotating the wheel 14 drives the shaft 13 to rotate. During the rotation of the shaft 13, the valve stem 3 is driven to rotate through the cooperation of the first bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 16, thereby driving the ball valve 4 to rotate, so as to realize the opening or closing of the valve body 1.
[0032] When the valve body 1 is closed, the convex rings 8 on both sides of the ball valve 4 abut against the groove of the sealing seat 10 at one end, and the main sealing gasket 9 on the convex ring 8 and the secondary sealing gasket 11 in the groove are connected, thus playing a double sealing role and improving the sealing performance.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the valve cover 2 has a through hole 25 to expose part of the valve stem 3. A filling groove is provided inside the valve cover 2 near the through hole. An elastic sealing sleeve 26 is placed in the filling groove. The sealing sleeve 26 has a cut and can be unfolded into a plane along the cut. A retaining strip 28 is provided on one cut of the sealing sleeve 26, and a retaining groove matching the retaining strip 28 is provided on the other cut. After the sealing sleeve 26 covers the valve stem 3, the retaining strip 28 is locked in the retaining groove. A pressure cap 27 is fastened in the filling groove. The pressure cap is pressed tightly on the sealing sleeve 26. One end of the pressure cap 27 is connected to the valve cover 2 by a screw. The valve stem 3 is rotatably disposed in the pressure cap 27.
[0035] The sealing sleeve 26 prevents liquid from leaking outwards from the connection between the valve stem 3 and the valve cover 2. If the sealing sleeve 26 is damaged, resulting in poor sealing, the gland 27 can be opened to remove the sealing sleeve 26. A new sealing sleeve 26 can then be fitted over the valve stem, with the retaining strip 28 at one end engaging with the groove at the other end. The sealing sleeve 26 is then inserted into the filling groove. Due to its elasticity, the sealing sleeve expands outwards within the filling groove due to the elastic force, thus achieving a seal. Replacing the sealing sleeve does not require removing the valve cover from the valve stem, improving maintenance convenience.
