Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve products, specifically to an eccentric hemispherical valve with bidirectional pressure-bearing and detachable function. Background Technology
[0002] An eccentric hemispherical valve consists of a valve body, an eccentric shaft, a ball crown, a valve seat, a bushing, and a valve cover. Its core feature is its eccentric crankshaft design, where the centerline of the ball crown is offset from the centerline of the valve flow channel. The ball is hemispherical, and opening and closing are achieved by rotating the eccentric shaft 90°. When opening, the ball crown completely disengages from the valve seat to avoid friction; upon closing, the ball crown contacts the valve seat to form a seal.
[0003] In existing structures, such as the technical solution with publication number CN 208816728 U, an eccentric ball valve is proposed, including a valve stem, a ball, a valve body, a valve seat, a sealing ring, and a pressure ring. The ball is connected to the valve stem disposed within the valve body, and the valve seat is disposed on the limiting step of the valve body. In use, the pressure ring is connected to the valve body and presses the sealing ring so that the sealing ring contacts and seals with the outer circle of the valve seat and the inner diameter surface of the valve body.
[0004] However, this sealing structure between the ball and the pressure ring relies solely on the contact between the two, which cannot guarantee a two-way seal for both inlet and outlet water. Furthermore, it is not easy to simply replace the seal during maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an eccentric hemispherical valve with bidirectional pressure bearing and detachable function, which solves the problems of insufficient sealing effect and difficulty in simple maintenance of existing eccentric hemispherical valves.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0007] An eccentric hemispherical valve with bidirectional pressure-bearing and detachable function includes a valve body, a valve stem rotatably inserted within the valve body, and valve covers and a lower end cover supporting the upper and lower ends of the valve stem. The valve body has a fluid channel with two outlet ends. A ball frame is installed on the valve stem, and a spherical crown is installed on the ball frame to seal and connect with one outlet end. A pressure ring that seals and engages with the spherical crown is provided on the outlet end. A valve seat for structural fixation is provided on the outer side of the pressure ring. An inner concave annular groove is provided on the inner surface of the pressure ring located near the spherical crown. An inner sealing element for sealing and engaging with the spherical crown is embedded in the inner concave annular groove. An outer annular groove is provided on the outer circumference of the pressure ring, and an outer sealing element for sealing and connecting with the valve body is installed in the outer annular groove.
[0008] Preferably, the outer surface of the pressure ring located on one side of the concave annular groove is provided with a retraction annular groove to facilitate the insertion of the pressure ring into the valve body.
[0009] Preferably, the inner seal extends beyond the axial end face of the pressure ring.
[0010] Preferably, the pressure ring at the concave annular groove position has a plurality of threaded semi-hole structures evenly distributed thereon, and bolts for fixing the inner sealing element are screwed into the semi-hole structures, and the inner sealing element extends with an abutting end for contacting the bolts.
[0011] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This utility model adopts a sealing structure by creating an inner concave annular groove at the inner end of the pressure ring and installing a corresponding elastic inner sealing element. The inner sealing element and the ball crown are sealed together, and a tight fit can be achieved between the inner sealing element and the ball crown regardless of whether pressure is applied in the forward or reverse direction. This simple structure enables bidirectional pressure bearing. When maintenance is required, the embedded inner sealing element can be directly removed for maintenance or replacement by simply opening the valve and turning the ball crown. This facilitates operation and simplifies the traditional maintenance method of disassembling and assembling the valve seat and pressure ring as a whole, making it highly convenient to use.

[0018] The following will describe in detail the implementation of the present invention with reference to specific embodiments, so that the process of how the present invention uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly. Example 1
[0019] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2An eccentric hemispherical valve with bidirectional pressure-bearing and detachable function includes a valve body 1, a valve stem 2 rotatably inserted into the valve body 1, and valve covers 3 and lower covers 4 supporting the upper and lower ends of the valve stem 2. The valve body 1 is provided with a fluid channel with two water outlets. The valve stem 2 is a split structure (i.e., a support rod with separate upper and lower ends), and the middle part does not affect the fluid operation. A ball frame 5 is installed on the valve stem 2, and a ball crown 6 is installed on the ball frame 5 to be sealed and connected to one side of the water outlet. A pressure ring 7 is provided on the water outlet side to seal and cooperate with the ball crown 6. A valve seat 8 for structural fixation is provided on the outside of the pressure ring 7. The inner surface of the pressure ring 7 located near the ball crown 6 is provided with an inner concave annular groove 71. An inner sealing element 72 for sealing and cooperating with the ball crown 6 is embedded in the inner concave annular groove 71. An outer annular groove 73 is provided on the outer circumference of the pressure ring 7. An outer sealing element 74 for sealing and connecting with the valve body 1 is installed in the outer annular groove 73. This invention employs a sealing structure formed by creating an inner concave annular groove 71 at the inner end of the pressure ring 7 and installing a corresponding elastic inner sealing element 72. The inner sealing element 72 and the ball crown 6 are in a sealing fit, ensuring a tight fit regardless of whether pressure is applied in the forward or reverse direction. This simple structure achieves bidirectional pressure resistance. When maintenance is required, the embedded inner sealing element 72 can be easily removed for maintenance or replacement by simply opening the valve and turning the ball crown 6. This simplifies the traditional maintenance method of disassembling and reassembling the valve seat 8 and pressure ring 7 as a whole, greatly enhancing ease of use. Structurally, because the inner sealing element 72 is made of an elastic material, it extends beyond the axial end face of the pressure ring 7, allowing it to make frictional contact with the ball crown 6 when the valve is opened and closed, thus ensuring an elastic sealing structure.
[0020] Structurally, the outer surface of the pressure ring 7 located on one side of the concave annular groove 71 is provided with a relief annular groove 75 to facilitate the installation of the pressure ring 7 into the valve body 1. This relief annular groove 75 facilitates the installation of the pressure ring 7, reduces the axial dimension of the pressure ring 7, and reduces jamming and sticking caused by radial offset during installation, which is beneficial for initial installation. Example 2
[0021] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4Compared to Embodiment 1, the pressure ring 7 at the concave annular groove 71 has several threaded semi-hole structures 76 evenly distributed on it. Bolts 77 for fixing the inner seal 72 are screwed into each semi-hole structure 76, and the inner seal 72 extends with an abutment end 721 for contacting the bolts 77. This structure, when applied to large-size ball valves (such as models 900 or 1000), allows maintenance personnel to easily reach into the valve to remove the bolts 77 and replace the inner seal 72. For large-size valves, this ensures the stability of the inner seal 72's installation structure and greatly guarantees the convenience of disassembly and assembly, thus meeting the invention's objective.
[0022] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
