Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ball valve technology, and specifically relates to a ball valve with a stuffing box having multiple sealing structures. Background Technology

[0002] A ball valve is a common industrial valve, named for its core component, a ball with a through hole. It controls the flow of fluid or regulates flow by rotating the ball. It features simple structure, good sealing, and easy operation, and is widely used in petroleum, chemical, power, and water treatment industries. While ball valves require a sealing structure during operation, they still have the following drawbacks in practical use: During the sealing process, a sealing ring is usually used only inside the ball shell, and the internal packing structure prevents leakage during operation. However, the ball valve and valve stem are still directly connected, which can easily cause leakage at this location, resulting in insufficient sealing.

[0003] During installation, ball valves are typically installed using two mounting structures. When a fault occurs in the internal structure of the ball valve during operation, it is necessary to disassemble the ball valve for repair. However, the internal structures of the ball valve are tightly connected, making disassembly inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, the present invention aims to provide a ball valve with a stuffing box featuring a multi-layered sealing structure. By establishing connections between the first hemispherical shell, the second hemispherical shell, the valve core, the valve stem, and the mounting cover, the invention solves the problems of insufficient sealing performance during ball valve operation and inconvenient disassembly and maintenance after a malfunction.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a ball valve with a multi-sealable stuffing box, comprising a first hemispherical shell, a second hemispherical shell, a valve core, a valve stem, and a mounting cover. Both the first and second hemispherical shells have openings on their adjacent sides, and these openings are fitted together. The valve core is movably connected within both the first and second hemispherical shells. A sealing packing strip is movably connected at the gap between the first and second hemispherical shells. A fixing opening is provided in both the first and second hemispherical shells directly above the valve core. A movable sleeve is fixed to the upper part of the fixed port on the second hemisphere, and the movable sleeve is movably connected to the fixed port on the first hemisphere. A sealing packing ring is movably connected to the lower part of the fixed ports on the first and second hemispheres. Both ends of the sealing packing strip are fixed to the periphery of the sealing packing ring. A valve stem is sleeved inside the movable sleeve, and an installation cover is fixed to the top of the movable sleeve. During operation, the first and second hemispheres enclose the valve core. The valve core rotates during operation, changing the opening and closing state of the ball valve. The valve stem transmits the torque of the handle on the installation cover to the valve core, and the installation cover closes the top of the movable sleeve.

[0006] Furthermore, mounting rings are fixed at the edges of the first and second hemispherical shells that are close to each other, and the two mounting rings are fitted together and fixed. Conveying pipes are fixedly connected to the edges of the first and second hemispherical shells that are far from each other. The first and second hemispherical shells are installed together by the mounting rings, and the conveying pipes convey the material.

[0007] The valve core has an inlet on its upper surface and a through-hole horizontally inside. The center line of the through-hole is on the straight line of the center axis of the two delivery pipes. The valve core is movably connected to the locking block through the inlet. The through-hole on the valve core is used to control the on / off of delivery between the two delivery pipes.

[0008] Several sealing rings are embedded and fixed on the inner wall of the movable sleeve, and the sealing rings abut against the circumference of the valve stem. The sealing rings on the movable sleeve cooperate to seal the valve stem.

[0009] The valve stem has a slot at its top and a block fixed at the center of its bottom. The block is inserted into the slot on the valve core, and the slot on the valve stem is movably connected to the block.

[0010] A rotating disk is movably connected inside the mounting cover. A locking block is fixed at the center of the bottom end of the rotating disk. The locking block is inserted into the slot at the top of the valve stem. A handle is fixed at the center of the top end of the rotating disk, and the handle passes through the mounting cover, so that when the handle is turned during operation, the valve stem is rotated.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting a first hemispherical shell, a second hemispherical shell, and a valve core, the problem of insufficient sealing effect during ball valve operation is solved. When installing the two hemispherical shells, the sealing packing strip and the sealing packing ring are first set at the edge of the opening end inside the first hemispherical shell, and the sealing packing ring is movably connected to the fixed port on the first hemispherical shell. Then, the valve core is placed into the first hemispherical shell, and then the opening end of the second hemispherical shell is closed onto the first hemispherical shell. After installation by the mounting ring, the valve core is sealed with the fixed port on the first and second hemispherical shells, preventing leakage during ball valve operation and increasing the sealing effect during ball valve operation.

[0012] By setting up a first hemispherical shell, a second hemispherical shell, a valve core, a valve stem, and a mounting cover, the problem of inconvenient disassembly and maintenance after ball valve failure is solved. When installing the valve stem, first insert the valve stem into the movable sleeve until the insert at the bottom of the valve stem is inserted into the insert on the valve core inside the first and second hemispherical shells. Then place the mounting cover on the top of the movable sleeve, insert the locking block at the bottom of the rotating plate into the locking hole at the top of the valve stem, insert the installation bolt into the mounting cover, and screw it into the top of the movable sleeve. After tightening, the installation is complete. Turning the handle will drive the rotating plate, valve stem, and valve core to rotate, changing the on / off state of the ball valve. When disassembling the ball valve, simply unscrew the mounting bolt on the mounting cover and loosen the bolt and nut on the mounting ring. This will separate the mounting cover from the movable sleeve, completing the complete disassembly of the ball valve and making disassembly and maintenance after ball valve failure much more convenient.
