Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve ball production technology, and in particular relates to a valve ball flow channel processing device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, miniature valve balls, with their small size and high reliability, are widely used in various scenarios, such as faucets for daily water use, small pharmaceutical delivery pipelines in the pharmaceutical industry, and nutrient solution drip irrigation pipelines in micro-irrigation agricultural systems. The production process of miniature valve balls typically involves drilling holes to create a straight flow channel. During drilling, the valve ball usually needs to be clamped and fixed to ensure drilling stability.
[0003] In the existing technology, most clamping fixtures used for drilling valve balls typically use a jaw structure to clamp and fix the valve ball. The clamping end is not adapted to the shape of the spherical structure. When the clamping force is large, although it can ensure that the valve ball is clamped firmly, it is also easy to cause wear and deformation of the spherical surface. When the clamping force is small, it is easy to cause the valve ball to shake and deflect during the drilling process, affecting the machining accuracy of the valve ball flow channel. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a valve ball flow channel processing device, including a base, and further comprising:
[0006] The placement component is mounted on the base. The placement component has an arc-shaped placement groove and a machining hole. The arc-shaped placement groove is used to place the valve ball to be processed, and the machining hole is set on the arc-shaped placement groove along the Z direction.
[0007] The positioning element is mounted on the base and is used to restrict the rotation of the valve ball on the arc-shaped storage groove;

[0011] Furthermore, the base is provided with a mounting groove arranged along the Z-direction, and the positioning element includes:
[0012] The fixing part is provided in the mounting groove;

[0030] 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.
[0031] 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.
[0032] Example 1:
[0033] This embodiment provides a valve ball flow channel processing device, including a base 1, and further including:
[0034] The placement component 2 is installed on the base 1. The placement component 2 has an arc-shaped placement groove 21 and a processing hole 22. The arc-shaped placement groove 21 is used to place the valve ball 7 to be processed. The processing hole 22 is set on the arc-shaped placement groove 21 along the Z direction.
[0035] Positioning element 3 is installed on the base 1 and is used to restrict the rotation of the valve ball 7 on the arc-shaped storage groove 21.
[0036] A clamping mechanism is provided on the base 1 and is movable in the X direction to abut against the valve ball 7 on the arc-shaped storage groove 21 in the X direction;
[0037] A drilling mechanism is provided above the base 1 and can be raised and lowered along the Z-axis for drilling the valve ball 7.
[0038] The drilling mechanism includes a drill bit 4, the central axis of which coincides with the central axis of the machining hole 22, and the diameter of the machining hole 22 is adapted to the drill bit 4.
[0039] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11 arranged along the Z direction. The positioning member 3 includes a fixing part 31 and a limiting part 32. The fixing part 31 is disposed in the mounting groove 11, and the limiting part 32 is integrally connected to the fixing part 31. The limiting part 32 is provided to protrude out of the mounting groove 11 along the X direction to limit the rotation of the valve ball 7 on the arc-shaped storage groove 21.
[0040] In this technical solution, the placement component 2 is cylindrical, and an arc-shaped placement groove 21 adapted to the surface shape of the valve ball 7 is provided on the top of the placement component 2. The positioning component 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 11 along the Z direction by matching its fixing part 31 with the mounting groove 11 on the base 1, and is connected and installed on the base 1 by fasteners along the X direction. The limiting part 32 of the positioning component 3 protrudes along the X direction and is located in the base 1.
[0041] A connecting groove 71 for mounting the connecting valve stem is provided on the valve ball 7 to be processed. The limiting part 32 of the positioning member 3 is structurally compatible with the connecting groove 71, so that the connecting groove 71 and the limiting part 32 can slide relative to each other in the Z direction. The operator guides the valve ball 7 to be processed to fall into the arc-shaped storage groove 21 of the storage member 2 in the Z direction through the limiting part 32. Then, the clamping mechanism moves in the X direction to abut against the valve ball 7 and firmly clamp the valve ball 7. Finally, the drilling mechanism, in conjunction with the processing hole 22 on the storage member 2, processes a straight flow channel that runs through the valve ball 7 in the Z direction.
[0042] In summary, this valve ball 7 flow channel machining device utilizes the arc-shaped placement groove 21 to provide stable support for the valve ball 7, the limiting part 32 to position and guide the placement of the valve ball 7 and limit its deflection, and the clamping mechanism, along with the limiting part 32, securely clamps the valve ball 7 by abutting against it in the X direction. This effectively prevents the valve ball 7 from shaking or deflecting during drilling, ensuring the machining accuracy of the valve ball 7 flow channel, and also avoids spherical wear or deformation of the valve ball 7 due to clamping and fixing by the grippers.
[0043] Example 2:
[0044] This embodiment provides a valve ball flow channel processing device, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0045] Furthermore, the institutions that provide support include:
[0046] The abutting member 5 is movably disposed on the base 1 in the X direction and is used to abut against the valve ball 7 on the arc-shaped storage groove 21 in the X direction;
[0047] The driving component 6 is mounted on the base 1 and is used to drive the clamping component 5 to move along the X direction.
[0048] Furthermore, an abutment groove 51 is provided on the end of the abutment member 5, and the abutment groove 51 has an arc-shaped structure.
[0049] In this technical solution, the clamping member 5 is cylindrical. One end of the clamping member 5 along the X direction is connected to the output end of the driving member 6. An arc-shaped abutment groove 51 is provided on the other end of the clamping member 5 along the X direction. The driving member 6 controls the movement of the clamping member 5 so that the abutment groove 51 of the clamping member 5 abuts against the surface of the valve ball 7. By designing the abutment groove 51, on the one hand, wear and deformation of the ball surface is avoided, and on the other hand, the contact area is increased to improve the abutment firmness.
[0050] Furthermore, the driving component 6 is a cylinder. By using a cylinder as the driving component 6, the valve ball 7 can be fixedly clamped by the quick contact of the clamping component 5 with the valve ball 7, while consuming less energy, having lower production costs, and achieving higher economic benefits.
[0051] Example 3:
[0052] This embodiment provides a valve ball flow channel processing device, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, also has the following technical features.
[0053] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting member 8, which is adjustablely mounted on the base 1 and can move along the Y direction to abut against the valve ball 7 on the arc-shaped storage groove 21 along the Y direction.
[0054] In this technical solution, when the valve ball 7 is placed on the arc-shaped storage groove 21 of the storage component 2, the limiting component 8 abuts against the valve ball 7 in the Y direction, and cooperates with the limiting part 32 of the positioning component 3 to achieve the limiting in the Y direction, effectively enhancing the stability of the valve ball 7 when placed on the arc-shaped storage groove 21, and facilitating drilling.
[0055] Furthermore, the limiting component 8 includes a screw 81, an abutment piece 82, and a fixing screw 83. The screw 81 passes through the base 1 along the Y direction and is threadedly connected to the base 1. The abutment piece 82 is disposed on the end of the screw 81 located inside the base 1. The fixing screw 83 is threadedly connected to the base 1 and abuts against the screw 81 radially. This structural design facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the screw 81 and the abutment piece 82, while also allowing for precise adjustment of the distance between the abutment piece 82 and the valve ball 7 in the Y direction, effectively ensuring that the abutment piece 82 can abut against the surface of the valve ball 7.
