Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, and more specifically, to a ball valve that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Ball valves are a common type of valve used to control the flow of fluids. Traditional ball valves consist of a valve body, a ball, and a handle. By turning the handle, the ball rotates, thus controlling the direction of the ball's orifice and controlling the flow of the valve. However, during installation, ball valves require wrapping with PTFE tape to ensure a tight seal. This process is time-consuming and laborious, causing inconvenience to the user. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, we propose a ball valve that is easier to install. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a ball valve that is easy to install, so as to solve the problem that in order to ensure the sealing of the ball valve during the installation process, it is necessary to wrap Teflon tape, which is not only time-consuming but also laborious during installation.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ball valve that is easy to install, including a valve body, a handle is provided on the top of the valve body, mounting components are provided on the left and right sides of the valve body, and a fixing component is provided below the handle;

[0005] The mounting assembly includes a retaining ring and a tube. The retaining ring is detachably mounted on the inner wall of the valve body and fits against the inner wall of the valve body. A sealing ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the tube. A limit ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tube. A nut is slidably connected to the outer wall of the tube. The sealing ring and the nut are located on both sides of the limit ring along its length, and the sealing ring is located between the retaining ring and the limit ring.

[0006] The retaining ring, tubing, sealing ring, limiting ring, and nut are all in pairs, symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the valve body.

[0007] The mounting assembly also includes two externally threaded pipes, which are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the valve body, and two nuts are threadedly connected to the two externally threaded pipes.

[0008] The fixing assembly includes a clamping plate one, which is fitted to the outer wall of the valve body. A strip rod is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the clamping plate one. A clamping plate two is slidably connected to the outer wall of the strip rod, and the clamping plate two is fitted to the outer wall of the valve body. An externally threaded tube two is provided at the connection between the clamping plate one and the clamping plate two. A nut two is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the externally threaded tube two. A cylindrical tube is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the clamping plate one. A circular plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cylindrical tube. A circular protective shell is slidably connected to the outer wall of the cylindrical tube.

[0009] There are two of each of the external threaded pipe and two nuts, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the valve body.

[0010] The circular plate has a threaded hole on its top surface, which is used to fix the circular plate to the wall with bolts. The outer wall of the circular plate and the inner wall of the circular protective shell have corresponding threads, which are used to fix the circular protective shell to the circular plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This utility model uses an installation component, including a retaining ring and a sealing ring, to insert one end of the pipe into the inner cavity of the valve body. Tightening the corresponding nut causes the nut to gradually move closer to the valve body, pushing the limiting ring and the pipe further into the valve body's inner cavity. At this point, the sealing ring contacts the retaining ring, and under the constraint of the limiting ring and the retaining ring, the position of the sealing ring is fixed, thus sealing the gap between the pipe and the valve body. The other end of the pipe is then fixed in the same way, completing the installation of the ball valve. Using this structure, tightening the nut enables rapid installation and sealing of the pipe, eliminating the need for wrapping with Teflon tape, reducing installation time, and making installation effortless. This facilitates user installation and replacement of the ball valve, improving the flexibility of the device.

[0013] This utility model uses a fixing assembly, including clamping plate one and clamping plate two. Clamping plate two is slid along a strip rod to separate clamping plate one and clamping plate two, and the valve body is placed between clamping plate one and the strip rod. Then, clamping plate two is moved closer to the strip rod, at which point the outer wall of the valve body is in contact with clamping plate one and clamping plate two. Two nuts two are tightened and fixed to the outer wall of the externally threaded pipe two, thereby fixing clamping plate one and the strip rod. At this point, a circular plate is fixed to the wall with bolts, and a circular protective shell is tightened to protect the circular plate and bolts internally. Using the above structure, by tightening the nuts two, the valve body is fixed between clamping plate one and clamping plate two, and the circular plate is fixed to the wall with bolts. This facilitates the user's turning of the ball valve handle, prevents the pipe from bending when turning the handle, increases the stability of the device, and improves its practicality.

The sealing ring 33 and the nut 35 are located on both sides of the length direction of the limiting ring 34, and the sealing ring 33 is located between the retaining ring 31 and the limiting ring 34.

[0023] Among them, there are two of each of the snap ring 31, pipe 32, sealing ring 33, limiting ring 34 and nut 35, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the valve body 1.

[0024] The sealing ring 33 can prevent liquid from flowing out from the gap between the pipe 32 and the valve body 1, and the sealing ring 33 can be limited by the snap ring 31 and the limiting ring 34.

[0025] The mounting assembly 3 also includes two external threaded tubes 36, which are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the valve body 1 respectively, and two nuts 35 are threadedly connected to the two external threaded tubes 36 respectively.

[0026] By tightening and fixing the nut 35 to the outer wall of the externally threaded pipe 36, the pipe 32 can be quickly installed at one end of the valve body 1.

[0027] The fixing component 4 includes a clamping plate 41, which is attached to the outer wall of the valve body 1. A strip rod 42 is fixedly connected to one outer surface of the clamping plate 41.
