Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valves, and more specifically to a Roots flow meter valve structure. Background Technology
[0002] A Roots flow meter is a positive displacement flow meter. Internally, it has a metering chamber with a defined volume. Using mechanical measuring elements, it continuously divides the fluid into individual, known volume portions. The total flow volume is measured by the number of times the metering chamber is repeatedly filled and discharged. Roots flow meters are suitable for measuring the flow of various liquids and gases, especially gases. Gas Roots flow meters are high-precision, highly reliable, and wide-range positive displacement gas metering instruments, widely used in industrial gas flow detection and control, urban gas detection and metering, and other fields, meeting users' requirements for high-precision and high-reliability detection or metering.
[0003] Typically, Roots flow meters are installed in conjunction with valve controllers. Placing the flow meter before the valve controller reduces measurement errors, protects the measuring equipment, and facilitates maintenance. Ball valves are widely used in gas control systems. They are simple in structure, easy to operate, and do not accumulate ice at low temperatures; ball valves can provide a complete seal, ensuring no gas leakage. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a valve controller structure that works with a Roots flow meter, which is easy to process, assemble, and maintain. While ensuring performance, the valve plate and ring bracket are used to optimize the processing and assembly processes, reducing costs. It has good sealing performance, reliably preventing internal and external leakage of the medium. The valve ball and PTFE gasket work together to achieve a tight seal, which is more effective in preventing internal leakage compared to valve structures with springs. Multiple seals at the valve stem effectively prevent external leakage.

[0011] The gasket pressure ring is connected to the valve body pipe section by a thread, pressing the valve ball gasket to the positioning step provided inside the valve body pipe section;
[0012] The lower end of the valve ball bracket is connected to the bottom plug of the valve ball, and a PTFE gasket is provided between the two.
