AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional integral valve bodies are prone to deformation during splicing and installation due to limitations in the casting process, resulting in uneven sealing surfaces. The leakage rate increases significantly with pressure fluctuations. Static sealing relies on the pre-tightening of flange bolts, requiring frequent torque checks. Furthermore, pipeline vibration can easily cause the pre-tightening force to loosen, affecting the sealing performance.

Method used

A plugging ring is added to the existing sealing strip to tightly abut against the top of the sealing strip, and connected to the splicing valve body through a limiting ring to achieve double sealing. The handle is used to drive the valve stem to control the plugging ring to squeeze the sealing strip to achieve pre-tightening force control.

Benefits of technology

It achieves a dual sealing effect, improves sealing performance, reduces leakage rate, stabilizes preload, and enhances the long-term reliability of the sealing ball valve.
