Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valve technology, and in particular to a ball valve structure. Background Technology

[0002] A ball valve is a type of valve that uses a valve stem to rotate a ball around its axis, thereby controlling or regulating the flow of media in a pipeline. Chinese utility model patent CN209800778U discloses that, "Through the cooperation between a slip ring with a drive blade and a cleaning roller, and a tension rod with a transmission rod, a brake rod, and a tension spring, the self-cleaning ball valve, while having normal opening and closing functions, can, when cleaning the cylindrical through-hole of the ball requires, use external force to lift the tension rod. This causes the tension rod to overcome the elastic force of the tension spring and move upward, thereby changing the angle of the transmission rod. This causes the two brake rods to move closer together along the brake groove, removing the braking force exerted by the brake rods on the slip ring by the contact with the sealing diaphragm. With the self-cleaning ball valve open, the drive blades, driven by the fluid flow, drive the cleaning roller on the slip ring to clean the wall of the cylindrical through-hole of the ball, removing adhering dirt and preventing scaling."

[0003] However, the above technical solutions still have problems in long-term use: as the usage time increases, impurities in the medium are easy to adhere to the surface of the drive blades and cleaning rollers, affecting their rotation efficiency and cleaning effect, and may even cause parts to jam, reducing the reliability of the self-cleaning function. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a ball valve structure in order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0026] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a ball valve structure, including a split valve seat, in which a valve body 7 is movably installed. The split valve seat includes a first valve seat 1 and a second valve seat 2. The flanges on the opposite sides of the two sets of valve seats are fixedly connected by several bolts 3, which facilitates the installation, maintenance and replacement of internal components such as sealing rings 8. Sealing rings 8 are installed in the open ends of the opposite sides of the first valve seat 1 and the second valve seat 2. The spherical surface of the valve body 7 is tangent to the sealing rings 8, ensuring good sealing performance. A valve stem 6 connected to the valve body 7 is rotatably installed on the valve seat. A groove 701 is opened on the top of the valve body 7. A locking block 15 that cooperates with the groove 701 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the valve stem 6, realizing the synchronous rotation of the valve body 7 and the valve stem 6. A fixed seat 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the first valve seat 1. The top of the valve stem 6 is rotatably engaged with the fixed seat 4. A handle 5 is fixedly sleeved on the top of the valve stem 6 for manually operating the valve. The connection method between the valve stem 6 and the valve body 7 ensures the convenience and reliability of operation.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the valve body 7 has a flow channel communicating with the valve seat. A first impeller 9 and a second impeller 11 are rotatably mounted in the middle of the flow channel and at one end near the output end of the valve seat, respectively. Both sets of impellers have through holes in the middle. Several first brush rods 10 are fixedly connected between the first impeller 9 and the second impeller 11 and are arranged near the inner wall of the flow channel. The bristles of the first brush rods 10 are in contact with the inner wall of the flow channel, which helps to remove impurities accumulated on the inner wall. A filter screen 12 is fixedly fitted at one end of the flow channel near the input end of the valve seat, which can initially filter large particles of impurities entering the flow channel. A central shaft 13 is fixedly connected between the through holes of the two sets of impellers. The central shaft 13 and the through holes are fixedly connected by a cross rod to ensure that the liquid flows through. One end of the central shaft 13 passes through the filter screen 12, and a second brush rod 14 that cooperates with the filter screen 12 is fixedly fitted at one end of the central shaft 13 to clean the scale on the filter screen 12 and prevent clogging.

[0029] In summary, this ball valve not only possesses the functional characteristics of a traditional ball valve, but also features a specially designed filtration and automatic cleaning mechanism, effectively improving the valve's service life and operating efficiency, making it particularly suitable for working environments containing a large amount of impurities.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, rotating the handle 5 drives the valve stem 6 and the valve body 7 connected to it to rotate, so that the channel of the valve body 7 is aligned with the direction of the pipeline, allowing the medium to pass through. When the medium flows through the valve body, it first passes through the filter screen 12 for preliminary filtration. Large particles of impurities are blocked, reducing the risk of damage to subsequent components and ensuring the rotation and cleaning effect.

[0031] During the flow of the medium, the first impeller 9 and the second impeller 11 rotate under the thrust of the fluid. As the impellers rotate, the first brush rod 10 continuously scrapes the inner wall of the flow channel to remove the attached impurities. The second brush rod 14 on the central shaft 13 rotates synchronously to continuously clean the surface of the filter screen 12, thus avoiding the problem of reduced flow or blockage caused by the accumulation of impurities.

[0032] Finally, rotate handle 5 again to rotate valve body 7 to the closed position, cutting off the medium flow path. At the same time, the spherical surface of valve body 7 tightly fits the sealing ring 8 to ensure a good sealing effect and prevent leakage.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
