[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.
[0025] First, combine Figures 1-2 The present invention describes a high-temperature resistant, top-mounted, integral inclined ball valve according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used in long-distance pipelines and has a wide range of applications.
[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the high-temperature resistant top-mounted integral inclined ball valve of this utility model includes a valve body 1, a ball 3, a valve seat 5, a valve stem 4, and a valve cover 2. The valve cover 2 is placed on the valve body 1, and the valve stem 4 passes through the valve cover 2 and is connected to the ball 3. The valve stem 4 drives the ball 3 to rotate to connect and disconnect the pipeline.
[0027] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, the flow channels on both sides of the valve body 1 are provided with inclined surfaces for installing the valve seat 5. The vertical distance between the inclined surfaces and the center line of the valve stem 4 gradually decreases from the top to the bottom, that is, the inclined surfaces of the flow channels on both sides are cone-shaped with upward opening. The valve seat 5 is made of metal and can be used in high temperature and high pressure conditions. The valve body 1 is provided with a valve seat pressure ring 7 groove parallel to the inclined surface. The valve seat pressure ring 7 groove is located between the valve body 1 and the valve seat 5. The valve seat pressure ring 7 groove is used to install the sealing component, which is parallel to the inclined surface. The flow channel end face of the ball 3 is parallel to the inclined surface. The ball 3 is located between the valve seat 5 and the upper and lower spherical surfaces of the valve seat 5 and the ball 3 are in contact. In this embodiment, the inclined surfaces between the valve seat 5 and the ball 3 and the sealing component cooperate to generate a self-tightening effect. As the medium pressure increases, the sealing surface clamping force increases, effectively preventing leakage, which is especially suitable for high pressure or high and low temperature conditions. The inclined surface in the valve body 1 facilitates the direct disassembly and assembly of the ball 3 and the valve seat 5 from the top of the valve body 1, improving valve maintenance efficiency and facilitating maintenance.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the sealing assembly includes: a valve seat pressure ring 7, a graphite ring 6, and a disc spring 8; the valve seat pressure ring 7, the graphite ring 6, and the disc spring 8 are sequentially bonded together and embedded in the groove of the valve seat pressure ring 7; the valve seat pressure ring 7 and the graphite ring 6 are bonded and pressed onto the valve seat 5, and a hard seal is achieved through the disc spring 8 and the graphite ring 6, which can absorb and compensate for high temperature thermal expansion, resist temperature shock, improve sealing performance and durability, and is suitable for high temperature and high pressure conditions.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a pressure ring 9 is provided inside the valve body 1. The pressure ring 9 presses against the valve seat 5. The cross-section of the pressure ring 9 is shaped like the number 7. The pressure ring 9 fixes the valve seat 5 in the valve cavity by mechanically pressing, preventing the valve seat 5 from shifting upward or loosening, ensuring that the sealing surfaces of the valve seat 5 and the ball 3 are always aligned, maintaining a seal, compensating for wear, and extending the valve's lifespan. When maintaining the valve, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire valve; the valve seat 5 and the ball 3 can be easily removed simply by taking out the pressure ring 9.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a spring 17 is sleeved on the lower end of the valve stem 4. The two ends of the spring 17 abut against the valve stem 4 and the ball 3 respectively. The spring 17 is used to provide preload force, which can make the ball 3 fit better with the valve seat 5 and ensure sealing. When the sealing surface of the valve seat 5 is worn and a gap is generated between it and the ball 3, due to its inclined surface design, the sealing surface is automatically compensated and compressed under the action of the spring force to ensure reliable sealing.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, a metal bearing 10 and a bushing 11 are provided between the valve stem 4 and the valve cover 2. The metal bearing 10 and the bushing 11 are located at the shoulder of the valve stem 4. The metal bearing 10 can withstand high temperature to prevent the valve stem 4 from flying out and ensure safety. The bushing 11 makes the centering of the valve stem 4 rotation better, improves the sealing performance and reduces the torque.
[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment further includes: a sealing packing 12, a pressure sleeve 13, and a pressure plate 14; the sealing packing 12 is disposed between the valve stem 4 and the valve cover 2; the pressure sleeve 13 presses onto the sealing packing 12; the pressure plate 14 presses onto the pressure sleeve 13 and is connected to the valve cover 2. By separately configuring the pressure sleeve 13 and the pressure plate 14, the packing is uniformly compressed. In this embodiment, the pressure plate 14 is connected to the valve cover 2 by studs 15 and nuts 16 to prevent loosening caused by thermal vibration, making it suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.
[0033] Above, refer to Figures 1-2 This invention describes a high-temperature resistant top-mounted integral inclined ball valve according to an embodiment of the present invention. It adopts an inclined sealing design, an elastic compensation structure, and top-mounted maintenance, which solves the problem of online maintenance of traditional ball valves and the risk of deformation of conventional top-mounted ball valves under high pressure and high temperature.
