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

[0024] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. For ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] This embodiment provides a fixing fixture for machining the surface of a valve ball, including:

[0027] The base is used for mounting and connecting to an external machine tool.

[0028] Two clamping blocks 1 are mounted on the base and can be moved along the X direction. They are connected and fixed to the base by fasteners. The valve ball to be processed is placed between the two clamping blocks 1.

[0029] Limiting member 2 passes through two clamping blocks 1 along the X direction and is connected and fixed to the base;

[0030] The clamping block 1 is provided with a positioning protrusion 11, which is used to connect and cooperate with the flow channel on the valve ball.

[0031] Furthermore, the base is designed in an "L" shape and includes:

[0032] Fixing plate 3 is used to connect and fix with external processing machine tools;

[0033] A support base plate 4 is connected to a fixed plate 3, and a guide rail 41 arranged along the X direction is installed on the support base plate 4.

[0034] The clamping block 1 has a sliding groove 13 that is adapted to connect with the guide rail 41.

[0035] In this technical solution, when the fixing fixture is used, the fixing plate 3 of the base is first connected and fixed to the processing machine tool by setting fasteners. Then, a clamping block 1 is moved to the fixing plate 3 through the connection and cooperation of the guide rail 41 and the slide groove 13, so that the clamping block 1 and the fixing plate 3 abut against each other. The clamping block 1 is connected to the supporting base plate 4 along the Z direction by setting fasteners, thereby realizing the installation and fixing of a clamping block 1 on the base.

[0036] Next, one flow channel of the valve ball is inserted into the positioning protrusion 11 on the clamping block 1, and then the other clamping block 1 is moved to the support base plate 4 through the guide rail 41 structure, and the positioning protrusion 11 of the clamping block 1 is inserted into the other flow channel of the valve ball to clamp the valve ball.

[0037] Then, the limiting member 2 is installed along the X-direction in the order of clamping block 1 - valve ball flow channel - clamping block 1. The limiting member 2 can be a screw, with the threaded end of the screw connected to the fixing plate 3, and the head of the screw abutting against the clamping block 1, so that the two clamping blocks 1 can clamp the valve ball and position the clamping block 1 away from the fixing plate 3. In addition, this structural design allows the limiting member 2 to limit the deflection of the valve ball, and also enhances the limiting effect in the Z-direction, improving stability. Finally, the clamping block 1 is also connected and fixed to the supporting base plate 4 by fasteners, thereby achieving stable clamping and positioning of the valve ball.

[0038] In summary, this fixing fixture uses two detachably connected clamping blocks 1 on the base, each with a positioning protrusion 11. The positioning protrusion 11 is fitted and inserted into the flow channel of the circular through-hole ball valve with an "L" or "V" shaped flow channel, thereby achieving limited and fixed positioning of the ball valve. Furthermore, the inclusion of a limiting component 2 ensures that the two clamping blocks 1 can abut against the valve ball and enhances the limiting effect on the valve ball, preventing deflection and achieving stable clamping of the valve ball.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] This embodiment provides a fixing fixture for machining the surface of a valve ball, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0041] Furthermore, the clamping block 1 also includes an abutting slope 12, which is used to abut against the flow channel opening on the valve ball, and a positioning protrusion 11 is disposed on the abutting slope 12. By providing an abutting slope 12 on the clamping block 1 that is adapted to the flow channel opening of the valve ball, the contact area between the clamping block 1 and the valve ball is increased by using the abutting slope 12, ensuring the limiting firmness.

[0042] Furthermore, the positioning protrusion 11 has a cylindrical structure. This structural design ensures that the positioning protrusion 11 and the flow channel of the valve ball are properly fitted and inserted, while also reducing the material input of the positioning protrusion 11, thereby reducing production costs and improving economic efficiency.

[0043] Example 3:

[0044] This embodiment provides a fixing fixture for machining the surface of a valve ball, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0045] Furthermore, the fixed plate 3 and the supporting base plate 4 are connected by fasteners. The fasteners pass through the ends of the fixed plate 3 and the supporting base plate 4 along the X direction. This structural design makes the fixed plate 3 and the supporting base plate 4 detachable, which is convenient for production and processing, and can also avoid the breakage caused by stress concentration between the fixed plate 3 and the supporting base plate 4 when they are connected as a whole.

[0046] Furthermore, a slot 31 is provided on the fixing plate 3, and an insert 42 is provided on one end of the supporting base plate 4 along the X direction. The insert 42 and the slot 31 are inserted into each other. This structural design plays a positioning role in the connection between the fixing plate 3 and the supporting base plate 4, enhancing stability and improving installation convenience.
