Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ball valve insulation devices, and in particular to a quick-install ball valve for liquid cooling systems. Background Technology

[0002] Insulated quick-release ball valves can be used in liquid cooling systems, chemical pipelines, or temperature-controlled fluid systems. These valves feature insulation and quick disassembly, making them suitable for applications requiring stable fluid temperature or prevention of heat loss. Using insulated quick-release ball valves in liquid cooling systems can solve key issues such as temperature control, installation and maintenance efficiency, and system reliability.

[0003] However, it's impossible to visually inspect whether the insulated quick-release ball valves in common liquid cooling systems have an insulation function or whether that function has failed. Furthermore, the insulated quick-release ball valves in liquid cooling systems are all one-piece designs, meaning that if only one part is damaged during use, the entire valve is rendered unusable.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a quick-install ball valve for a liquid cooling system to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a quick-install ball valve for liquid cooling systems. This ball valve allows for direct observation of whether the pipeline insulation function has failed, and allows for modular replacement of damaged ball valve components.

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

[0007] A quick-release ball valve for a liquid cooling system includes a first valve body, a second valve body, two partitions, and eight second sealing gaskets. A thermometer is fixedly connected to the front end of the upper surface of the first valve body. Slots are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the first valve body near the front and rear ends. A valve stem is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the first valve body, and a handle and a valve core are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the valve stem, respectively. First sealing grooves are provided on both sides of the upper and lower surfaces of the first and second valve bodies near the front and rear ends. Fixing grooves are provided on both sides of the upper and lower surfaces of the first and second valve bodies near the front and rear ends of the multiple first sealing grooves. Second sealing grooves are provided on both sides of the upper and lower surfaces of the first and second valve bodies. Insulation layers are fixedly mounted on the lower surfaces of the two partitions. First sealing gaskets are fixedly mounted on the upper surfaces of the two insulation layers. First fixing blocks are fixedly mounted on both sides of the upper and lower surfaces of the four first sealing gaskets. Second fixing blocks are fixed on both sides of the outer walls of the two partitions near the front and rear ends of the upper and lower surfaces.

[0008] Furthermore, the handle is rotatably disposed on the upper end face of the first valve body, and the valve core is rotatably disposed between the first valve body and the second valve body.

[0009] Furthermore, the two insulation layers are respectively slidably disposed on the top surface of the first valve body and the bottom surface of the second valve body, and the four second sealing gaskets are respectively slidably disposed inside the four second sealing grooves. The upper and lower end faces of the first valve body and the second valve body are provided with internal threads on one side of the four second sealing grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the four inserts are slidably disposed inside the four slots respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the plurality of first fixing blocks are slidably disposed inside the plurality of first sealing grooves, and the plurality of second fixing blocks are slidably disposed inside the plurality of fixing grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, the first valve body and the second valve body have threaded holes on the front and rear ends of their outer walls, near the upper and lower ends, which are perpendicular and parallel to each other. There are four sets of these threaded holes in total.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the multiple threaded holes has a connecting block threadedly mounted at both the front and rear ends by two bolts.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The present invention proposes a quick-install ball valve for a liquid cooling system. When using this quick-install ball valve, the temperature of the ball valve's outer surface can be detected in real time by a thermometer. This ball valve is used in a liquid cooling system. If the thermometer shows that the temperature of the outer wall of the ball valve is close to the room temperature, then the ball valve's insulation function is normal. If the detected temperature is too low and close to the temperature of the liquid inside the liquid cooling system, then the ball valve's insulation function has failed.

[0016] 2. The present invention proposes a quick-install ball valve for a liquid cooling system. When the ball valve is in use, if the components are damaged, they can be replaced modularly. The internal insulation layer, the first sealing gasket, the second sealing gasket, the first valve body, and the second valve body can all be replaced. Modular replacement can reduce the waste of resources. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a quick-install ball valve for a liquid cooling system, comprising a first valve body 101, a second valve body 107, two partitions 112, and eight second sealing gaskets 117. A thermometer 106 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the outer wall of the first valve body 101 near the front end. Slots 104 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the first valve body 101 near the front and rear ends. A valve stem is rotatably mounted on the upper end face of the first valve body 101, and a handle 102 and a valve core 1 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the valve stem, respectively. 03. The handle 102 is rotatably mounted on the upper end face of the first valve body 101. The valve core 103 is rotatably mounted between the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107. First sealing grooves 108 are formed on the front and rear ends of the upper and lower end faces of the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107. Fixing grooves 109 are formed on the front and rear ends of the upper and lower end faces of the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 near the front and rear ends of the multiple first sealing grooves 108. A second sealing groove 111 is provided on the side. An insulation layer 113 is fixedly provided on the lower end face of two partitions 112. A first sealing gasket 114 is fixedly provided on the upper end face of each of the two insulation layers 113. A first fixing block 115 is fixedly provided on the upper and lower end faces of the four first sealing gaskets 114 near both sides. A second fixing block 116 is fixed on the upper and lower end faces of the outer walls of the two partitions 112 near both ends. Four inserts 110 are slidably provided inside the four slots 104. Two insulation layers 113 are slidably provided on the inner top surface of the first valve body 101 and the inner bottom surface of the second valve body 107. Four second sealing gaskets 117 are slidably provided inside the four second sealing grooves 111. An internal thread 119 is provided on the upper and lower end faces of the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 near both sides on one side of the four second sealing grooves 111. Multiple first fixing blocks 115 are slidably provided inside multiple first sealing grooves 108. Multiple second fixing blocks 116 are slidably provided inside multiple fixing grooves 109.

[0025] Specifically, when using this ball valve: Slide the two partitions 112 and the insulation layer 113 into the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 respectively, and slide the four second sealing gaskets 117 into the second sealing grooves 111 respectively. Install the valve core 103, valve stem, and valve core 103 onto the first valve body 101. Position the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 at the upper and lower ends of the pipes of the liquid cooling system on both sides, aligning the ends of the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 with the pipes of the liquid cooling system on both sides, and press them up and down respectively, so that the lower end face of the first valve body 101 is in close contact with the upper end face of the second valve body 107. Insert the eight inserts 110 into the eight slots 104 respectively, align the multiple connecting blocks 118 with the multiple sets of threaded holes 105, and fix them with multiple bolts. The temperature measuring instrument 106 can detect problems with the outer wall of the first valve body 101 in real time. By detecting the temperature of the outer wall of the first valve body 101, it can be determined whether the insulation function has failed. If the insulation layer 113 has failed, the temperature of the outer wall of the first valve body 101 will be close to the temperature of the liquid inside the liquid cooling system. If the insulation function is good, the temperature of the outer wall of the first valve body 101 will be close to the room temperature. By inserting multiple inserts 110 into multiple slots 104, the four first sealing gaskets 114 and the four second sealing gaskets 117 can be aligned during the installation of the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107. The handle 102 can drive the valve stem to rotate the valve core 103, opening or closing the internal passage of the ball valve. Sliding multiple first fixing blocks 115 into multiple first sealing grooves 108 can limit the position of the four first sealing gaskets 114, so that they can only slide up and down and cannot move laterally. Sliding multiple first fixing blocks 115 into multiple fixing grooves 109 restricts the position of the two partitions 112, allowing them to slide up and down but preventing lateral movement. Multiple first sealing gaskets 114 and multiple second sealing gaskets 117 prevent internal liquid leakage to the outside. The insulation layer 113 effectively blocks internal temperature leakage. The internal thread 119 securely connects the ball valve to the pipes on both sides of the liquid cooling system, preventing loosening.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 The first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 have threaded holes 105 on the front and rear ends near the upper and lower ends of the outer wall. Two threaded holes 105 that are perpendicular and parallel to each other form a group, and there are four groups in total. Each group of multiple threaded holes 105 has a connecting block 118 installed at the front and rear ends by two bolts.

[0027] Specifically, multiple connecting blocks 118 are threaded into multiple sets of threaded holes 105 by multiple bolts, which can make the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 tightly fastened together and not easily separated.

[0028] Working principle: When using this ball valve, first place the two partitions 112 connected to the two insulation layers 113 inside the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 respectively. Place multiple second sealing gaskets 117 inside multiple second sealing grooves 111 respectively. Then place the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 at the upper and lower ends of the pipes on both sides of the liquid cooling system respectively. Move the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 close together and tighten them. When tightening, multiple internal threads 119 should be aligned with the external threads of the pipes on both sides of the liquid cooling system. Then, install the first valve body 101 and the second valve body 107 by multiple bolts and multiple sets of threaded holes 105. If leakage occurs during use, you can determine whether the first sealing gasket 114 or the second sealing gasket 117 is faulty based on the leakage point. If water enters the first sealing gasket 114, the insulation layer 113 connected to the first sealing gasket 114 should be replaced together. If water enters the insulation layer 113, it will affect the insulation effect. The first valve body 101, the second valve body 107, the first sealing gasket 114, and the second sealing gasket 117 of this ball valve can all be disassembled and replaced.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
