Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve body shell technology, specifically a stamped, stretched, split-type welded valve body shell. Background Technology

[0002] Water valves are commonly used water control devices and equipment for controlling water flow. Currently, most valves on the market are made by one-piece casting or welding. Water valves are relatively precise water control devices. Many water valves are currently manufactured using one-piece molding and overall welding processes, which makes the production process complex. Since the surface of the casting process needs to go through sand casting, electrolysis and other processes, it involves pollution problems, sewage discharge, and is not environmentally friendly. Moreover, the multiple processing steps increase time costs and cannot improve production efficiency, facing a variety of problems arising from technical drawbacks. To address this, we propose a valve body shell that is stamped, stretched, formed, and welded together in a separate manner. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a valve body shell that is stamped, stretched, formed, and welded in a split manner. It has the advantages of multi-part combination welding, multi-flange welding connection to make the valve body shell more versatile, strong welding and easy assembly, and more environmentally friendly production process with no pollution discharge. It solves the problems of connection drawbacks, compatibility and limitations of existing water valves that make them unsuitable for use during installation, as well as the cumbersome production process and pollution discharge in casting and forging.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a valve body shell formed by stamping and stretching, comprising an inlet flange and an outlet flange. Both the inlet flange and the outlet flange include an annular groove flange, a circular flange body, and an outward-turned circular flange, which are provided in three flange forms: circular groove, flat, and outward-turned. The annular groove flange, the circular flange body, and the outward-turned circular flange are all available in two specifications: circular flange and circular flange with notch.

[0005] Preferably, a valve core tube made of metal is provided between the inlet flange and the outlet flange, and the valve core tube is available in three specifications: cylindrical, elliptical and flat round. A connecting pipe groove is provided at the middle of the top of the valve core tube, and a cavity shell is provided at the connecting pipe groove of the valve core tube.

[0006] Preferably, the valve core tube body includes an integral valve core tube body and two segmented valve core tube bodies.

[0007] Preferably, the cavity shell includes three types of integral slotted cavity shells, closed perforated cavity shells, and semi-cavity shells. A cavity shell flange is provided on the top of the cavity shell. Screw holes are provided at the four corners of the cavity shell flange. Flange nuts are provided at the corresponding positions of the screw holes at the bottom of the cavity shell flange. The flange nuts and the cavity shell flange are of two types: movable and detachable and integrally welded. The number of flange nuts is at least four.

[0008] Preferably, the cavity shell and the cavity shell flange are formed by welding, and the top of the cavity shell flange is provided with a cavity shell cover flange connected by screws. Both the cavity shell flange and the cavity shell cover flange include three types of flanges: flat flange, eaves flange, and annular groove flange.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the cavity cover flange is provided with a cavity cover body connected thereto. Nut holes are provided at both ends of the top of the cavity cover body. A cavity cover nut seat is provided at the corresponding position of the nut hole on the inner top of the cavity cover body. The cavity cover nut seat and the cavity cover body are of two forms: movable and detachable and integrally welded.

[0010] Preferably, a valve stem is provided at the middle end of the cavity shell through a valve stem hole.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model separates the cavity shell and cavity shell flange, as well as the cavity shell cover and cavity shell cover flange, and welds them together using an eaves feature butt joint or embedded butt joint method. The overall welded surface is flat, smooth, burr-free, and has strong pressure resistance. The inlet flange and outlet flange are also arranged in a relatively symmetrical manner and are welded together with the valve core tube. The inlet flange and outlet flange have three forms: through hole and flat opening, annular groove, and outward turning, which meet various welding requirements and achieve various welding connection methods. The components are independent of each other, and multiple components are integrally formed by welding. The cavity shell is formed by integral stamping or integral stretching. The cavity shell is formed by integral stretching or stamping, or by semi-cavity shell stamping or stretching, which can be achieved by two processes and two forms. Compared with casting, the stamping and stretching process of this utility model is more environmentally friendly, eliminating complex processes such as sand casting and electrolysis, saving costs and being more environmentally friendly.

[0013] 2. This utility model improves the welding process of the valve control device by connecting a split flange and an integrally stretched and stamped cavity shell. It offers diverse combinations, simple and convenient manufacturing, and strong pressure resistance. The three flange configurations—flat-mouth butt welding, annular groove embedding welding, and outward-folding sleeve welding—allow for various welding methods, resulting in smoother and stronger welds. The outward-folding and annular groove embedding welding methods enhance the overall structural strength, enabling it to withstand greater water pressure. The nut seat, through split and integral welding, achieves both flexibility and strength in flange connections, avoiding the need for additional wrenches for fixing. The entire device is completed through multi-part splicing and welding, eliminating the complex processing and pollutant emissions associated with integral casting. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please see Figures 1-12 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a valve body shell that is stamped, stretched, formed, and welded separately, including an inlet flange 1 and an outlet flange 2. The inlet flange 1 and the outlet flange 2 each include an annular groove flange 101, a circular flange body 102, and an outward-turned circular flange 103, which are provided in three flange forms: circular groove, flat, and outward-turned. The annular groove flange 101, the circular flange body 102, and the outward-turned circular flange 103 are all available in two specifications: circular flange and circular flange with notch.

[0033] In this technical solution: the inlet flange 1 and the outlet flange 2 are correspondingly set, and all structures are identical and mirror-supported, such as... Figures 2-5 As can be seen, the inlet flange 1 has two forms: a notched circular flange and a circular flange. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The notched circular flange shown has two forms: circular groove and outward flare. Figure 3 There are three states: a flat flange, a flange with a circular notch in the first form (valve core tube 3), and a flange with a circular groove. The valve core tube 3 is inserted into the circular groove, the inner diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the valve core tube 3. The circular groove is machined by turning. The valve core tube 3 is then welded into the circular groove of the flange opening, resulting in a stronger and more secure weld. The second state (flanged flange) connects the valve core tube 3 to the flange opening. The flange opening is outward-facing, with the outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the valve core tube 3. This allows the valve core tube 3 to be inserted and welded to the flange opening, resulting in a strong internal fit and support. After welding, the joint at the opening is stronger and has higher pressure resistance. The third state is a flat flange. The valve core tube 3 is inserted into the flange's circular hole and welded, further strengthening the opening and increasing its pressure resistance.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figures 1-12 As shown, a valve core tube 3 made of metal is provided between the inlet flange 1 and the outlet flange 2. The valve core tube 3 is available in three shapes: cylindrical, elliptical, and flattened round. A connecting groove 301 is provided at the middle of the top of the valve core tube 3. A cavity shell 4 is provided at the connecting groove 301 of the valve core tube 3. The cavity shell 4 includes three types: an integral slotted cavity shell 401, a closed-type perforated cavity shell 402, and a semi-cavity shell 403. A cavity shell flange 5 is provided on the top of the cavity shell 4. Screw holes 501 are provided at each of the four corners of the cavity shell flange 5. Flange nuts 6 are provided at corresponding positions at the bottom of the cavity shell flange 5 for each screw hole 501. The flange nuts 6 and the cavity shell flange 5 are available in two forms: movable and detachable, and integrally welded. The number of flange nuts 6 is at least four. The cavity shell 4 and the cavity shell flange 5 are welded together. The top of the cavity shell flange 5 is provided with a cavity shell cover flange 8 connected by screws. Both the cavity shell flange 5 and the cavity shell cover flange 8 include three types of flanges: flat flange 5-A8, eaves flange 5-B8, and annular groove flange 5-C8. The top of the cavity shell cover flange 8 is provided with a cavity shell cover body 7 connected to it. Nut holes 10 are opened at both ends of the top of the cavity shell cover body 7. The nut holes 10 are located at the corresponding positions of the top of the inner side of the cavity shell cover body 7, and a cavity shell cover nut seat 11 is provided. The cavity shell cover nut seat 11 and the cavity shell cover body 7 are of two types: movable and detachable and integrally welded. A valve stem 9 is provided at the middle end of the cavity shell cover body 7 through a valve stem hole.

[0036] This technical solution: (as follows) Figures 9-11 As shown, the valve core tube 3 of this utility model has a connecting groove 301, which is obtained by cutting an annular irregular shape. The connecting groove 301 is used to connect to the cavity shell 4. The cavity shell 4 has three forms: the first is formed by integral stretching or stamping, and the cavity shell 4 has a bottom groove; the second is formed by integral stretching or stamping, and the cavity shell 4 has a circular hole with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the valve core tube 3; the third is a half-shell with a groove formed by stretching or stamping. These three forms are combined with the valve core tube 3 and welded together to form an integral connection. Figure 10 and Figure 11 The opening shown is a flat opening, used to connect to the cavity shell flange 5, as shown. Figures 6-8As shown, the flange 5 of the cavity shell has three forms of eaves. The first type of the cavity shell flange 5 is a flat design; the second type of the cavity shell flange 5 is an annular groove design; and the third type of the cavity shell flange 5 is an outward-flaring design. These three forms are adapted and welded to the opening of the cavity shell 4. The flat-mouth cavity shell flange 5 is completed by welding through a mating and butt joint with the opening of the cavity shell 4. The annular groove is set, and the outer dimension of the annular groove is larger than the outer dimension of the opening of the cavity shell 4. It is welded into shape after being inserted into the cavity shell 4. The outward-flaring flange 5-B8 has an outward-flaring dimension smaller than the inner dimension of the opening of the cavity shell 4. It is connected by inserting the cavity shell 4 into the outward-flaring opening and then welded into shape and fixed. This makes the weld strong, the joint strength enhanced, the compressive strength strong, the assembly easy, and the welding simple.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 12 As shown, the valve core tube 3 includes an integral valve core tube 3 and two segmented valve core tubes 3.

[0039] This technical solution: (as follows) Figure 12 The valve core tube 3 shown can be divided into two opposing ends, which are connected by... Figure 12 The exploded half-section view shows that the valve core tube 3 is divided into two halves, which are respectively connected to the through holes on the cavity shell 4. They are formed by welding after insertion. The cavity shell is formed by stamping or stretching.

[0040] Working principle: The valve core tube body 3 is assembled and welded together with the inlet flange 1 and outlet flange 2. Then, the cavity shell 4 is inserted into the valve core tube body 3 and welded together. The cavity shell flange 5 is then connected and welded to the cavity shell 4 in three ways. The cavity shell cover 7 is then connected and welded to the cavity shell cover flange 8 in three ways. The cavity shell 4 and the cavity shell cover 7 are then fixed by bolts through the flange. The cavity shell cover nut seat 11 is fixedly connected by both movable and fixed welding, which strengthens the fastening purpose and reduces the use of fastening tools. Finally, the valve stem 9 is inserted into the valve core inside the cavity shell 4 to complete the assembly.
