Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric three-way ball valve technology, and particularly relates to an electric three-way ball valve device. Background Technology

[0002] An electric three-way ball valve is an automated valve that adds an electric actuator to a regular three-way ball valve. The ball is driven to rotate by a motor to control the flow of fluid in three pipelines, allowing for flow separation or merging.

[0003] Because conventional electric three-way ball valves require two screws to be tightened at the bottom to secure them, and the motor's stroke is fixed, it is impossible to precisely adjust the fixed angle when there is a slight difference between the motor and the valve body. This results in the relatively low practicality of the installation structure of conventional electric three-way ball valves.

[0004] Therefore, we propose an electric three-way ball valve device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of low practicality of the installation structure of conventional electric three-way ball valves, and to propose an electric three-way ball valve device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electric three-way ball valve device includes a ball valve body and a motor. A fixing frame is fitted onto the ball valve body, and a snap-fit ​​bracket is movably inserted into the lower part of the fixing frame. An elastic clamp is fitted onto the fixing frame and the snap-fit ​​bracket. The lower end of the motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixing frame. The lower part of the fixing frame is fitted onto the ball valve body, then the snap-fit ​​bracket is inserted into the fixing frame. The elastic clamp is then fitted onto the fixing frame and the snap-fit ​​bracket, and an external screw is passed through the elastic clamp and tightened. The screw tightens the elastic clamp, thus securing the fixing frame and the snap-fit ​​bracket to the ball valve body. The fixing frame acts on the motor, fixing the motor to the ball valve body, facilitating motor installation.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a snap fastener, with one end of the elastic band snapped inside the snap fastener. By using the snap fastener to snap onto one end of the elastic band, the elastic band and the snap-fit ​​frame are kept in linkage, which facilitates the operation of the snap-fit ​​frame while snapping the elastic band onto the fixed frame, thus facilitating the assembly of the snap-fit ​​frame and the elastic band.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing frame includes a support column, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to a base, and a first spring plate is fixedly connected to the base. After the elastic band is tightened, the elastic band presses the first spring plate, and the first spring plate presses the upper part of the ball valve body, which facilitates the fixing frame to the ball valve body.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing frame further includes a first stop block, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first spring piece. The first stop block blocks the elastic band, increasing the stability of the engagement between the elastic band and the first spring piece.

[0011] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​bracket includes a snap-fit ​​block, and a second spring piece is fixedly connected to the upper end of the snap-fit ​​block. When the elastic band is tightened, the elastic band acts inward on the second spring piece, pressing and fixing the second spring piece onto the ball valve body, facilitating the fixed connection between the snap-fit ​​bracket and the ball valve body.

[0012] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​bracket further includes a second stop, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second spring piece. The second stop, acting as a stop on the elastic band, increases the stability of the engagement between the elastic band and the second spring piece.

[0013] Preferably, the buckle includes a restraining block and an elastic seat, the elastic seat and the restraining block are symmetrically arranged, and the lower part of the elastic seat is fixedly connected as a whole. The restraining block and the elastic seat hold the elastic hoop tightly, making it easy to stabilize the elastic hoop on the snap-fit ​​frame.

[0014] Preferably, the elastic clamp includes an elastic clamp body, with collars fixedly connected to both ends of the elastic clamp body and a plug fixedly connected to the middle of the elastic clamp body. By passing a screw through the collar and tightening the screw, the collar is tightened, causing the elastic clamp body to tighten the first stop block and the second spring plate, facilitating the pressing of the second spring plate and the first spring plate onto the ball valve body.

[0015] Preferably, the elastic band further includes a guide plate, which is fixedly connected to the collar. The guide plate guides the collar to open, allowing the elastic band body to smoothly grip the first spring piece.

[0016] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. Place the lower part of the mounting bracket onto the ball valve body, then insert the snap-fit ​​bracket inside the mounting bracket. Place the elastic clamp onto the mounting bracket and snap-fit ​​bracket, then pass the external screw through the elastic clamp and tighten the screw. Tighten the elastic clamp by tightening the screw, and use the elastic clamp to tighten and fix the mounting bracket and snap-fit ​​bracket to the ball valve body. The mounting bracket acts on the motor to fix the motor to the ball valve body, which is convenient for installing the motor and also convenient for adjusting the fixing angle of the motor.

[0018] 2. Use the clip to hold one end of the elastic band, so that the elastic band and the snap-fit ​​frame are linked. This makes it easy to operate the snap-fit ​​frame while holding the elastic band on the fixed frame, making it easy to assemble the snap-fit ​​frame and the elastic band.

[0019] 3. Pass the screw through the collar and tighten it. By tightening the collar with the screw, the elastic band body will tighten the first stop and the second spring, so that the second spring and the first spring are pressed against the ball valve body. Attached Figure Description

The lower end of the elastic clamp body 51 is in movable contact with the locking block 31 and the base 22, and the upper end of the elastic clamp body 51 is in movable contact with the second stop block 33 and the first stop block 24. By passing a screw through the collar 52 and tightening the screw, the collar 52 is tightened by the screw, causing the elastic clamp body 51 to tighten the first stop block 24 and the second spring piece 32, thus pressing the second spring piece 32 and the first spring piece 23 onto the ball valve body 1.

[0035] like Figure 1 and 5 As shown, the elastic band 5 also includes a guide plate 53, which is fixedly connected to the collar 52. The guide plate 53 guides the collar 52 to open, allowing the elastic band body 51 to smoothly grip the first spring piece 23.

[0036] Working principle: The lower part of the fixing bracket 2 is placed on the ball valve body 1, and then the snap-fit ​​bracket 3 is inserted into the fixing bracket 2. The elastic band 5 is placed on the fixing bracket 2 and the snap-fit ​​bracket 3. Then, the external screw is passed through the elastic band 5 and tightened. The elastic band 5 is tightened by the screw, and the fixing bracket 2 and the snap-fit ​​bracket 3 are tightened and fixed on the ball valve body 1. The fixing bracket 2 acts on the motor 6, so that the motor 6 is fixed on the ball valve body 1, realizing the installation of the motor 6 and also realizing the stepless adjustment of the angle of the motor 6.
