Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machinery, and more particularly to valve technology, specifically a V-type ball valve with good sealing performance. Background Technology

[0002] The V-type ball valve is a fixed ball valve characterized by excellent regulating performance, equal percentage flow characteristics, and an adjustable ratio of up to 100:1. Its shearing action between the V-shaped notch and the metal seat is suitable for media containing fibers, small solid particles, slurries, etc. This valve is suitable for frequent operation and offers advantages such as rapid opening and closing, ease of use, simple structure, low fluid resistance, small size, light weight, easy maintenance, good sealing performance, no installation direction restrictions, arbitrary media flow direction, vibration-free operation, and low noise.

[0003] Traditional V-type ball valves mostly adopt an eccentric structure. When the V-type ball valve is opened, the ball valve body separates from the inner wall of the valve seat. When the V-type ball valve is closed, there is hard friction between the arc surface of the ball valve body and the valve seat, which greatly reduces the service life of the valve seat. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved technology to solve the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a V-type ball valve with good sealing performance, including a valve seat 1, a ball valve body 2 and a sealing assembly;

[0027] A ball cavity is located at the center of the valve seat 1. The ball valve body 2 is rotatably disposed within the ball cavity. A first cylindrical body 3 is located at the top of the valve seat 1, and a second cylindrical body 4 is coaxially disposed at the bottom of the valve seat 1 with the first cylindrical body 3. The ball valve body 2 has a V-groove 5. A valve stem 6 is connected to the top of the ball valve body 2, and a shaft 7 is connected to the bottom of the ball valve body 2. Square holes 24 are located at the center of both the top and bottom of the ball valve body 2. The bottom of the valve stem 6 is inserted into the square hole 24 at the top of the ball valve body 2, and the top of the shaft 7 is inserted into the square hole 24 at the bottom of the ball valve body 2. The valve stem 6 drives the ball valve body 2 to rotate through the square holes 24. The valve stem 6 is rotatably disposed within the first cylindrical body 3. The valve stem 6 is tightly fitted with packing 23, which ensures the sealing of the valve stem 6. The packing 23 is limited and pressed by the flange of the external bracket, which is used to install the electric / pneumatic actuator. The shaft 7 is rotatably mounted in the second cylinder 4. The bottom of the second cylinder 4 is bolted to a bottom cover 21 with a protrusion 22. The protrusion 22 supports the bottom of the shaft 7. The bottom cover 21 achieves sealing at the second cylinder 4 and supports the shaft 7. The valve seat 1 is provided with a first flange 8 and a second flange 9 at both ends. The inner wall of the valve seat 1 at the first flange 8 end is continuously provided with a first groove 10 and a second groove 11.

[0028] The sealing assembly includes a pressure ring 12, a pressing sleeve 13, and a sealing ring 14. The pressure ring 12 is movably disposed within a first groove 10, the axial length of which is greater than the thickness of the pressure ring 12, to ensure that the pressure ring 12 can slide within the first groove 10. The pressing sleeve 13 is disposed within a second groove 11 and has several countersunk holes 25. The countersunk holes 25 of the pressing sleeve 13 are fastened to the first flange 8 of the valve seat 1 by bolts. The countersunk holes 25 conceal the bolt heads, preventing the first flange 8 from being unable to connect to the pipeline. The pressure ring 12 is close to the pressing sleeve 14. The sleeve 13 has several first spring grooves 15 and guide grooves 16 at one end. The pressing sleeve 13 has several second spring grooves 17 and guide posts 18 at the end near the pressure ring 12. The first spring grooves 15 and second spring grooves 17 correspond one-to-one and are provided with springs 20 inside. The two ends of the springs 20 are respectively supported in the first spring grooves 15 and second spring grooves 17. The guide posts 18 correspond one-to-one with the guide grooves 16 and are guided and engaged. The pressure ring 12 has an annular groove 19 at the end away from the pressing sleeve 13. A sealing ring 14 is provided in the annular groove 19 and is tightly connected to the ball valve body 2.

[0029] Installation method and operating principle: After laying the ball valve body 2 horizontally, insert it into the ball cavity of the valve seat 1 from one end of the second flange 9. Then rotate the ball valve body 2 so that the square holes 24 at both ends correspond to the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 respectively. Pass the valve stem 6 through the first cylinder 3 and insert it into the square hole 24 at the top of the ball valve body 2. Insert the shaft 7 into the second cylinder 4 and insert it into the square hole 24 at the bottom of the ball valve body 2. At the same time, connect the bottom cover 21 to the second cylinder 4 with bolts. Place the sealing ring 14 into the annular groove 19 of the pressure ring 12, then place the springs 20 into the first spring grooves 15 of the pressure ring 12, and simultaneously insert the outer ends of each spring 20 into the second spring grooves 17 of the pressing sleeve 13. Connect the guide post 18 of the pressing sleeve 13 to the guide groove 16 of the pressure ring 12. At this time, due to the elastic force of the springs 20, a gap is left between the pressure ring 12 and the pressing sleeve 13. Then, insert the pressure ring 12 into the first groove 10 from one end of the first flange 8, and insert the pressing sleeve 13 into the second groove 11 until the pressure ring 12 abuts against the inner end of the first groove 10. Finally, fasten the pressing sleeve 13 to the first flange 8 of the valve seat 1 with bolts. At this time, the sealing ring 14 is tightly connected to the ball valve body 2, and the installation is completed. Before use, the valve stem is connected to the first cylinder 3 via a bracket. The output shaft of the electric actuator is connected to the top of the valve stem 6 via a coupling. The electric actuator drives the valve stem 6 to rotate, and the valve stem 6 drives the ball valve body 2 to rotate. The opening and closing of the entire V-type ball valve is achieved by the rotation of the V-groove. This utility model has a reasonable structure. The valve seat 1 has a first groove 10 and a second groove 11 inside and at one end of the first flange 8. The pressure ring 12 is movably disposed in the first groove 10. Several springs 20 are disposed between the pressure ring 12 and the pressing sleeve 13 and are guided by the guide post 18. A sealing ring 14 is disposed in the annular groove 19 on the inner side of the pressure ring 12. The springs 20 cause the pressure ring 12 to be subjected to a force pointing towards the ball valve body 2. The sealing ring 14 can tightly press the surface of the ball valve body 2, greatly improving the sealing performance. In addition, the sealing ring 14 solves the problem of reduced lifespan caused by long-term friction between the ball valve body 2 and the valve seat 1. At the same time, the pressure spring is pressed by the pressing sleeve 13, which is connected to the valve seat 1 by bolts, so as to facilitate the replacement of the sealing ring 14 and greatly improve the convenience.
