Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, specifically a bidirectional hard-seal ball valve. Background Technology
[0002] A ball valve is a valve in which the opening and closing element (the ball) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the valve's axis. In pipelines, it is mainly used for shut-off, distribution, and changing the flow direction of media. It only requires a 90-degree rotation and a very small torque to achieve a tight seal. Therefore, ball valves are widely used in industries such as petroleum refining, long-distance pipelines, chemicals, papermaking, pharmaceuticals, water conservancy, power, municipal engineering, and steel, playing a crucial role in the national economy. A bidirectional hard-seal ball valve refers to a ball valve that can provide a hard seal in both directions.
[0003] A prior art application (application number 202320004343.X) discloses a bidirectional hard-seal ball valve, comprising a valve body, a flow channel, and a valve core for controlling the flow channel by rotation. The valve core includes a ball, and the valve body is provided with a metal sealing ring. The ball includes a first crown and a second crown for engaging with the metal sealing ring. The distance between the first crown and the second crown is adjustable so that the first crown and the second crown do not contact the metal sealing ring during rotation. This invention allows the ball to not contact the metal sealing ring during rotation, reducing wear. However, the stability of the ball valve body's horizontal rotation adjustment is poor, and the outer wall of the ball valve body has weak resistance to water flow impact. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bidirectional hard-seal ball valve to solve the problems of poor stability of horizontal rotation adjustment of the ball valve body and weak resistance of the outer wall of the ball valve body to water flow impact in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bidirectional hard-seal ball valve, comprising an outer valve body and a ball valve body rotatably disposed inside the outer valve body via a valve stem. The outer wall of the middle portion of the outer valve body is provided with a protruding valve seat, and the inner wall of the protruding valve seat is provided with a limiting groove. The outer side of the middle portion of the ball valve body is provided with a protruding valve body, which is rotatably engaged with the inner wall of the limiting groove. The ball valve body is provided with a first channel inside, and the protruding valve body is provided with a second channel communicating with the first channel inside. The outer side of the second channel of the protruding valve body is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer valve body is provided with an inlet and an outlet at both ends, and a flange is provided at one end of both the inlet and outlet.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the outer valve body is provided with a first sealing gasket, and the inner wall of the limiting groove is provided with a second sealing gasket.
[0008] Furthermore, the limiting groove is configured as an annular groove, and the protruding valve body is configured as an annular component.
[0009] Furthermore, the convex valve body is fixedly welded to the middle part of the ball valve body, and the outer diameter of the convex valve body is larger than the outer diameter of the ball valve body.
[0010] Furthermore, the ball valve body is provided with a third through hole in the middle, and multiple sets of the third through hole are provided laterally or longitudinally.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This utility model features an externally protruding valve seat on the outer wall of the middle part of the outer valve body, and an externally protruding valve body on the outer side of the middle part of the ball valve body that slides horizontally with the internal limiting groove of the externally protruding valve seat. The externally protruding valve body and the limiting groove can provide sliding guidance during the rotation adjustment of the ball valve body, which helps to improve the stability of the horizontal rotation adjustment of the ball valve body, facilitates the smoothness of the opening and closing of the ball valve body, and at the same time improves the ability of the outer wall of the ball valve body to resist water flow impact, thereby facilitating the extension of the service life of the ball valve body.
[0013] This invention features a first sealing gasket on the inner wall of the outer valve body and a second sealing gasket on the inner wall of the limiting groove. The first and second sealing gaskets can form a double-layer seal between the ball valve body and the outer valve body, which helps to improve the sealing effect between the ball valve body and the outer valve body.
[0014] Furthermore, the second channel of the protruding valve body of this utility model is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole on the outer side, and the water inlet angle of the second through hole and the first through hole are different, which can prevent the phenomenon of easy blockage of a single water inlet through hole.
