Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, specifically to a ball valve with an easy-to-replace valve seat. Background Technology
[0002] Floating ball valves are widely used in critical locations in process pipelines such as oil pipelines and nuclear power systems, where they provide a safe shut-off function through forced sealing. Most applications of floating ball valves require in-line maintenance and seat replacement.
[0003] Currently, floating ball valves on the market are generally two-piece or three-piece valve bodies. The valve seat is usually replaced by disassembling the valve body. However, disassembling the valve body requires first removing the floating ball valve from the pipeline, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and online maintenance and replacement of the valve seat cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content
[0004] Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a ball valve with easy-to-replace valve seat, which can effectively solve the problems in the prior art.
[0006] Technical solution
[0007] This utility model provides a ball valve with an easy-to-replace valve seat, including a valve body and a left body. A valve seat is fixed inside the valve body, and the inner side wall of the valve seat is in contact with the outer side wall of the ball. A threaded hole is provided on the side wall of the left body. The valve seat includes a valve ring, a connecting plate fixed to the outside of the valve ring, and a locking bolt. The connecting plate is fixed in the threaded hole by the locking bolt. The top of the ball is fixedly connected to the valve stem. A packing and a packing gland are fixed to the outside of the valve stem. A handle is sleeved on the outside of the top of the valve stem.
[0008] Furthermore, the valve body and the left body are connected by bolts and nuts, and a metal spiral wound gasket is fitted between the left body and the valve body.
[0009] Furthermore, a limiting piece is fixed to the inner side of the handle, and the top of the handle is fixedly connected to the valve stem by an external hexagonal bolt.
[0010] Furthermore, the valve ring has a concave structure, and the connecting plate is fixed to the outside of the valve ring. The outside of the connecting plate has a square structure. Two sets of threaded holes are provided on one side of the connecting plate, and locking bolts are provided in both sets of threaded holes. Locking nuts are sleeved on the outside of the locking bolts.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the valve ring remains in contact with the outer wall surface of the ball.
[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] This utility model, through its combined structure of valve body and left body, allows users to connect the two structures using nuts and bolts during actual operation. This facilitates the connection and provides the possibility for quick disassembly and assembly of the valve seat and its internal structure. Therefore, after removing the left body, the valve seat or ball structure can be directly replaced. Compared with existing structures, this device allows for faster replacement of the internal valve seat structure.
[0014] In this device, by setting a valve ring structure with a connecting plate, the user can fix it to the valve body by fixing it with bolts in the threaded hole to achieve a combined connection. Then, the ball is placed in the valve seat to combine the valve body and the left plate, which facilitates the combination and connection of the internal valve seat. Attached Figure Description
