A screw 4 is provided on the upper part of the valve stem 8, and the screw 4 is fixedly connected to the valve stem 8. A screw is provided on the upper part of the screw 4. The handle 2 has a nut 3 inside, which is threadedly connected to the screw 4 to fix the handle 2. By rotating the handle 2, the valve stem 8 is rotated, which in turn rotates the valve ball 10, thereby controlling the size of the inner hole 11 of the valve ball 10 and realizing flow control and switching. A ball seat 12 is provided at the bottom of the valve ball 10, and a ball groove 20 is provided inside the ball seat 12. The ball groove 20 is interlocked with the bottom of the valve ball 10.

[0033] Specifically, a comparison of relevant test data and practical application data for this solution.

[0034] Test Project Existing technology valves This utility model valve Increase Pressure resistance (MPa) 5.0 5.5 10% Valve ball offset (mm) 0.5 0.4 20% Leakage rate (ml / min) 10 7 30%

[0035] Data Description

[0036] Pressure resistance performance: Under the same medium (water) and temperature (25℃) conditions, the pressure is gradually increased until the valve fails. The upper limit of the pressure resistance of the valve of this utility model is 0.5MPa higher than that of the prior art, indicating that it can withstand higher pressure.

[0037] Valve ball offset: The radial offset of the valve ball 10 under 1MPa pressure is measured by a high-precision displacement sensor. Due to the support of the ball seat 12 and the ball groove 20, the offset is reduced by 0.1mm, and the stability is significantly improved.

[0038] Leakage: Under a pressure of 1 MPa, the fluid leakage at the valve seal is measured per unit time. This invention reduces leakage by 3 ml / min through the design of the sealing packing 7 and the sealing ring 24, resulting in better sealing performance.

[0039] Data Validity Statement

[0040] The experiment was conducted in a standard laboratory environment, using piping systems and testing equipment of the same specifications to ensure consistent testing conditions.

[0041] Each set of data was tested 5 times, and the average value was taken to reduce the error. The data fluctuation range was less than 5%, which shows that the data is reliable.

[0042] The test medium, pressure, temperature and other parameters all conform to the conventional application scenarios of industrial instrument valves, and the test results can effectively reflect the actual use effect.

[0043] Working principle: The operator rotates handle 2, which drives screw 4 to rotate via the threaded connection between nut 3 and screw 4. Screw 4 is fixedly connected to valve stem 8, so the rotation of screw 4 further drives valve stem 8 to rotate. This step realizes the torque transmission from handle 2 to valve stem 8, providing the power source for the rotation of valve ball 10. The lower part of valve stem 8 is connected to valve ball 10. When valve stem 8 rotates, it drives valve ball 10 to rotate inside valve seat 13. Valve ball 10 has an inner hole 11, which is connected to the flow channel of valve body 1 and side cover 14. The rotation of valve ball 10 changes the relative position between inner hole 11 and flow channel, thereby realizing precise control of fluid flow. When valve ball 10 rotates to a specific position, inner hole 11 is completely aligned with flow channel, and fluid can pass smoothly through the valve; when valve ball 10 rotates to another specific position, inner hole 11 is completely aligned with flow channel. When the valve is blocked, the fluid cannot pass through. By controlling the rotation angle of the valve ball 10, precise control of the fluid flow and valve opening / closing can be achieved. This step realizes the flow control and opening / closing functions of the valve, meeting the precise adjustment requirements in industrial automation and control systems. This pressure-resistant instrument valve drives the valve stem 8 and valve ball 10 to rotate by turning the handle 2, realizing precise control of the fluid and opening / closing operation. The ball groove 20 inside the ball seat 12 fits into the bottom of the valve ball 10, improving the stability and pressure resistance of the valve ball 10. The design of sealing packing 7, sealing ring 24, etc., ensures the overall sealing and durability of the valve. The fitting design of the locking block 9 and the locking groove 19 enhances the connection stability between the valve stem 8 and the valve ball 10. It has the advantages of simple operation, precise control, stability and reliability, and strong pressure resistance, and is suitable for fluid control scenarios in various industrial automation and control systems.
