Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, specifically to a double-sealed ball valve. Background Technology
[0002] A ball valve is a valve in which the opening and closing element (ball) is driven by the valve stem and rotates around the valve's axis. It can be used for fluid regulation and control. The opening and closing element (ball) has a through hole. When the ball valve is in the open position, the through hole is aligned with the pipeline, allowing fluid to flow; when the ball valve is in the closed position, the through hole is misaligned with the pipeline, preventing fluid flow. Ball valves are characterized by quick opening and closing, low flow resistance, high pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, high reliability, versatility, and ease of operation.
[0003] Currently, ball valves are mostly sealed with rubber sealing rings inside. However, after prolonged compression and friction, the rubber rings may not make close enough contact with the valve core and valve stem, resulting in leakage. Since the sealing rings are located inside the ball valve, the process of disassembling and replacing them is also quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 7 The double-sealed ball valve shown includes:
[0028] A first valve body 1 and a second valve body 2 are provided. The top end of the first valve body 1 is fixedly provided with a first connecting pipe 3 that communicates with its interior. The top end of the first connecting pipe 3 is provided with a second connecting pipe 4. The first valve body 1 and the second valve body 2 are provided with a valve core 5. The top end of the valve core 5 is fixedly connected with a first valve stem 6. The top end of the first valve stem 6 is provided with a second valve stem 7. The first valve stem 6 is located inside the first connecting pipe 3. The top end of the second valve stem 7 extends to the top of the second connecting pipe 4 and is rotatably connected to the second connecting pipe 4. Rotating the second valve stem 7 and the first valve stem 6 drives the valve core 5 to rotate. The through hole on the valve core 5 will be connected or closed as it rotates, so as to regulate the opening and closing of the ball valve.
[0029] The first sealing assembly includes a first mounting groove 8 formed on the inner wall of the connection between the first valve body 1 and the second valve body 2. A first limiting groove 9 is formed on the inner wall of the first mounting groove 8. A first sealing ring 10 is provided inside the first limiting groove 9. The inner end of the first sealing ring 10 is in close contact with the outer end of the valve core 5. A first limiting ring 11 is fixedly provided at the outer end of the first sealing ring 10. The first limiting ring 11 is located inside the first limiting groove 9. A first mounting cavity 12 is formed inside the first sealing ring 10. A plurality of first springs 13 are fixedly provided inside the first mounting cavity 12. A second sealing assembly with a similar structure to the first sealing assembly is provided at the connection between the first connecting pipe 3 and the second connecting pipe 4. The first sealing ring 10 can provide a first sealing at the contact position of the connection between the valve core 5 and the first valve body 1 and the second valve body 2. The plurality of first springs 13 will keep the elasticity of the first sealing ring 10 in a good state, thereby giving the first sealing ring 10 a continuous elastic force against the outer end of the valve core 5, so that its sealing effect is good.
[0030] The second sealing assembly includes a second mounting groove 14 formed on the inner wall of the connection between the first connecting pipe 3 and the second connecting pipe 4. A second limiting groove 15 is formed on the inner wall of the second mounting groove 14. A second sealing ring 16 is provided inside the second mounting groove 14. The inner end of the second sealing ring 16 is in close contact with the outer end of the connection between the first valve stem 6 and the second valve stem 7. A second limiting ring 17 is fixedly provided on the outer end of the second sealing ring 16. The second limiting ring 17 is located inside the second limiting groove 15. A second mounting cavity 18 is formed inside the second sealing ring 16. A plurality of second springs 19 are fixedly provided inside the second mounting cavity 18. The second sealing ring 16 can provide a second sealing at the contact position between the inner wall of the first connecting pipe 3 and the second connecting pipe 4 and the outer end of the first valve stem 6 and the second valve stem 7. The plurality of second springs 19 will keep the elasticity of the second sealing ring 16 in a good state, thereby giving the second sealing ring 16 a continuous elastic force against the outer end of the first valve stem 6 and the second valve stem 7, so that its sealing effect is better.
[0031] A first flange 20 is fixedly provided at the outer end of the connection between the first valve body 1 and the second valve body 2. The two first flanges 20 are fixedly connected by a plurality of first bolts 21. By removing the first bolts 21, the second valve body 2 can be removed from one end of the first valve body 1. At this time, the first sealing ring 10 and the first limiting ring 11 inside the first mounting groove 8 and the first limiting groove 9 can be removed, and then the first sealing ring 10 and the first limiting ring 11 can be replaced.
[0032] A second flange 22 is fixedly provided at the outer end of the connection between the first connecting pipe 3 and the second connecting pipe 4. The two second flanges 22 are fixedly connected by multiple second bolts 23. By removing the second bolts 23, the second connecting pipe 4 and the second valve stem 7 are removed from the top of the first connecting pipe 3 and the first valve stem 6. At this time, the connecting square rod 24 will leave the inside of the connecting square groove 25. In this way, the second sealing ring 16 and the second limiting ring 17 inside the second mounting groove 14 and the second limiting groove 15 can be removed, and then the second sealing ring 16 and the second limiting ring 17 can be replaced.
[0033] The bottom end of the second valve stem 7 is fixed with a connecting square rod 24, and the top end of the first valve stem 6 is provided with a connecting square groove 25 corresponding to the size of the connecting square rod 24. The connecting square rod 24 is located inside the connecting square groove 25. The insertion method of the connecting square rod 24 and the connecting square groove 25 makes the connection and disassembly process between the first valve stem 6 and the second valve stem 7 more convenient.
[0034] The top of the second valve stem 7 is fixed with a handle 26. It is easier to rotate the second valve stem 7 and the first valve stem 6 by turning the handle 26.
[0035] A third flange 27 is fixedly provided on the outside of the two valve bodies 1 and 2 at their opposite ends. The two third flanges 27 can be connected to external pipes by bolts.
[0036] This invention uses a first sealing ring 10 and a second sealing ring 16 to seal and protect the outer ends of the valve core 5, the first valve stem 6, and the second valve stem 7. Multiple first springs 13 and second springs 19 are used to enhance the elasticity, resulting in a better double sealing effect inside the ball valve. Furthermore, both the first sealing ring 10 and the second sealing ring 16 are located at detachable connection points, making installation and replacement of the first sealing ring 10 and the second sealing ring 16 simple and convenient, and highly practical. This embodiment specifically solves the problem in the prior art where ball valves, in actual use, mostly use internal rubber sealing rings for sealing. However, after prolonged compression and friction, the contact between the rubber ring and the valve core and valve stem becomes insufficient, leading to leakage. Moreover, because the sealing ring is located inside the ball valve, its disassembly and replacement are inconvenient.
[0037] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
