Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ball valve technology, specifically relating to a double eccentric ball valve. Background Technology

[0002] Ball valves are widely used in pipelines because they have the functions of shutting off and regulating flow. After the ball valve is opened, there are no obstructions in its internal cavity, and it is a straight-through valve with the pipeline, without generating reverse impact force. Therefore, ball valves are widely used in pipelines. However, they still have some drawbacks. The valve core and valve seat rotate and move back and forth on the same axis. The valve core and valve seat achieve the opening and closing of the valve through long-term friction. Long-term friction can damage or shrink the ball and valve seat, and corrosive media can cause the spring to fail, which can lead to the ball valve losing its sealing function. Utility Model Content
