Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to valve technical field especially, relate to a kind of upper-mounted single valve seat bidirectional sealing fixed ball valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] The upper-mounted ball valve is a valve widely used in industrial pipeline system, which has many remarkable features in design. First, the upper-mounted ball valve is convenient to install and maintain. Since the upper-mounted design is adopted, the maintenance and replacement of the valve become simple and fast, without the need to disassemble the entire valve or pipeline system, greatly reducing the maintenance time and cost. The valve ball and valve seat sealing pair of the upper-mounted ball valve can adopt metal sealing or non-metal sealing structure, which can effectively prevent medium leakage and ensure the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system, and is widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, electric power, pharmaceutical and other industries. To facilitate disassembly and assembly, the valve ball and valve seat sealing surface of the traditional upper-mounted ball valve adopt a wedge surface structure. To achieve a zero-leakage sealing level, the wedge sealing surface needs a larger sealing specific pressure than the traditional parallel sealing surface. The torque of the valve is large. Since the valve ball and valve seat sealing surface are always in contact, wear of the valve ball and valve seat sealing surface is easily caused during the opening and closing process, resulting in internal leakage of the valve. To overcome this defect, researchers have developed a new type of upper-mounted ball valve structure, with parallel double valve seats on both sides. This product can greatly reduce the valve operating torque and make the sealing more reliable. However, the parallel valve seat requires a tool to spread the two valve seats during valve assembly, so that the valve ball can be installed into the valve cavity. The assembly process is complex and inefficient, and online disassembly and maintenance of the valve cannot be achieved. In addition, the double valve seat structure ball valve is isolated by two valve seats in the closed position. When the valve transports medium containing particles or fine powder impurities, it is easy to cause accumulation. During the opening and closing process of the valve, the accumulated impurities will scratch the sealing surface, causing internal leakage of the valve. Over time, the accumulation of medium in the valve cavity will cause the valve ball to be stuck, eventually leading to jamming or failure of the valve action. SUMMARY
