Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve equipment technology, specifically to a flange-type balancing valve that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] Ball valves are widely used in pipelines in industries such as petroleum refining, metallurgy, chemical engineering, power generation, and urban construction for controlling the flow and shut-off of media. They are among the most widely used valves in various fluid transportation projects. Flanged balancing valves are a type of ball valve, widely used for flow regulation and pressure control of media such as water and oil. Existing flanged balancing valves have the following problems: the flanges at the inlet and outlet are mostly integrally welded to both ends of the valve body, while the sealing assembly used to seal the valve core and the inner contact port of the valve body needs to be embedded inside the valve body at the inner port facing the valve core. This makes it difficult to install or disassemble the sealing assembly inside the valve body, and since the sealing assembly is a consumable part, each maintenance and replacement requires a considerable amount of time, severely affecting the normal operation of the flanged balancing valve; sometimes, to ensure the normal flow of fluid media, the entire flanged balancing valve must be replaced. Therefore, this utility model proposes a flanged balancing valve that is easy to maintain, aiming to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a flanged balancing valve that is easy to maintain. By removably and coaxially mounting a ring valve cover inside the second flange on the right end of the valve body, and embedding the elastic sealing component inside the left end of the ring valve cover, an independent modular design of the elastic sealing component is achieved. When replacing or repairing the elastic sealing component, simply remove the ring valve cover from the second flange on the valve body for quick repair. After repair, the ring valve cover can be reinstalled inside the second flange on the right end of the valve body. This significantly reduces the difficulty of repairing the elastic sealing component and improves overall operation. The operation is simple and time-saving, with each maintenance session lasting less than 30 minutes. Compared to the traditional flanged balancing valve, the overall replacement and maintenance cost is reduced by more than 60%, resulting in good economic benefits. Through the independent modular design of the elastic sealing component, the assembly time is shortened by more than 40% compared to the traditional flanged balancing valve, thereby significantly improving the assembly and processing efficiency of this utility model flanged balancing valve. When the elastic sealing component overlaps and seals with the valve core ball, it has a certain elastic deformation, which significantly improves wear conditions compared to the hard sealing component of the traditional flanged balancing valve, extends the maintenance and replacement cycle of the elastic sealing component, and is conducive to the normal operation of the flanged balancing valve.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is to design a flange-type balancing valve that is easy to maintain, including a valve body with a columnar structure and a valve core ball.

The valve body has a valve stem sleeve one extending upward to the outside through the top and a valve stem sleeve two extending downward to the outside through the bottom. An upper valve stem is rotatably installed inside the valve stem sleeve one, and a lower valve stem is fixedly installed inside the valve stem sleeve two. The valve core ball is located inside the valve body, and the upper end of the valve core ball is fixedly connected to the lower end of the upper valve stem, and the lower end is rotatably connected to the upper end of the lower valve stem. The upper end of the valve stem sleeve one has a flange three. It also includes a detachable annular valve cover coaxially installed inside the right end of the valve body. An elastic sealing component that overlaps with the valve core ball is installed inside the left end of the annular valve cover.

It achieves an independent modular design for the elastic sealing component by removably and coaxially mounting a ring valve cover inside the second flange on the right end of the valve body, and embedding the elastic sealing component inside the left end of the ring valve cover. When replacing or repairing the elastic sealing component, simply remove the ring valve cover from the second flange on the valve body for quick repair. After repair, the ring valve cover can be re-fixed inside the second flange on the right end of the valve body. This significantly reduces the difficulty of repairing the elastic sealing component, and the overall operation is simple, time-saving, and efficient. Maintenance time is less than 30 minutes, reducing the overall replacement and maintenance cost of traditional flanged balancing valves by more than 60%, resulting in good economic benefits. Through the independent modular design of the elastic sealing component, the assembly time is shortened by more than 40% compared to traditional flanged balancing valves, thus significantly improving the assembly and processing efficiency of this utility model's flanged balancing valve. The elastic sealing component has a certain elastic deformation when it overlaps and seals with the valve core ball, significantly improving wear conditions compared to the hard sealing component of traditional flanged balancing valves, extending the maintenance and replacement cycle of the elastic sealing component, and facilitating the normal operation of the flanged balancing valve.
