The fixing block and the fixing frame are connected by a connecting device. A sealing device is provided between the sealing cover and the valve body.
[0004] Based on the aforementioned existing technology, current filter structures for eccentric ball valves still have the following problems: In traditional fixed filter structures, once the filter screen becomes clogged or damaged, the entire valve or at least key components must be disassembled for cleaning or repair. This process is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring specialized tools and personnel, leading to prolonged system downtime. Therefore, this utility model provides a filter structure for eccentric ball valves. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0027] A filter structure for an eccentric ball valve includes an eccentric ball valve body 1. A filter mechanism 2 is provided on the left side of the eccentric ball valve body 1 for filtering liquid media and facilitating filter plate replacement. The filter mechanism 2 includes:
[0028] The filtration unit 21 is located on the left side of the eccentric ball valve body 1, including a flow pipe 211 fixedly installed on the left side of the eccentric ball valve body 1. A first slot 212 is provided inside the flow pipe 211, and a filter plate 214 is slidably inserted into the first slot 212. The filter plate 214 is fixed by a disassembly and assembly component 3 provided above the flow pipe 211, so as to facilitate the replacement of the filter plate.
[0029] The first opening and closing unit 22 is located on the left side of the inner cavity of the filtrate unit 21 and is used to isolate the liquid medium to achieve backwashing of the filter plate.
[0030] The second opening and closing unit 23 is located on the right side of the inner cavity of the filtrate unit 21, and the structure of the second opening and closing unit 23 is the same as that of the first opening and closing unit 22. It is used to isolate the liquid medium to achieve backwashing of the filter plate.
[0031] In this embodiment, a set of first sealing gaskets 213 are fixedly installed inside the first slot 212, and the first sealing gaskets 213 are installed on the left and right sides of the filter plate 214 to seal the filter plate 214.
[0032] In this embodiment, a first drain pipe 215 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the flow pipe 211, and the first drain pipe 215 is located between the filter plate 214 and the first opening and closing unit 22. A second drain pipe 216 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the flow pipe 211, and the second drain pipe 216 is located between the filter plate 214 and the second opening and closing unit 23.
[0033] In this embodiment, the disassembly and assembly component 3 includes an installation box 31 fixedly installed on the top of the flow tube 211. A sliding column 32 is fixedly installed inside the installation box 31, and a sliding rod 33 is slidably installed on the surface of the sliding column 32. Both ends of the sliding rod 33 are fixedly installed with locking blocks 35, and a pull block 36 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding rod 33. A return spring 34 is installed on the surface of the sliding column 32.
[0034] Pulling the pull block 36 compresses the return spring 34, causing the locking block 35 to move away from the top of the filter plate. The filter plate can then be directly slid out or inserted along the first slot 212. This solves the problem of traditional structures requiring the disassembly of valves or key components to replace the filter plate, significantly reducing maintenance time, manpower, and system downtime costs.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first opening and closing unit 22 includes a second slot 221 opened inside the flow pipe 211. An opening and closing door 223 is slidably installed inside the second slot 221, and a set of second sealing gaskets 222 are fixedly installed inside the second slot 221. The opening and closing door 223 is installed on the left and right sides of the opening and closing door 223. A top frame 224 is fixedly installed on the top of the flow pipe 211, and a pull column 225 is slidably installed inside the top frame 224. A return spring 227 is installed on the surface of the pull column 225, and an insertion hole 226 is opened on the front side of the pull column 225. The bottom end of the pull column 225 is fixedly connected to the top of the opening and closing door 223. A track seat 228 is fixedly installed on the top of the top frame 224, and an insertion post 229 is slidably installed inside the track seat 228. The insertion post 229 is slidably inserted into the insertion hole 226.
[0036] In this embodiment, a connecting pipe 2210 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the flow pipe 211, and the connecting pipe 2210 connects the space on the left side of the first opening and closing unit 22 with the space between the filter plate 214 and the second opening and closing unit 23. When the first opening and closing unit 22 and the second opening and closing unit 23 are closed, the liquid medium enters the space between the filter plate 214 and the second opening and closing unit 23 through the connecting pipe 2210, thereby achieving backwashing of the filter plate. The water after backwashing is discharged by opening the first drain pipe 215 and the second drain pipe 216.
[0037] With the symmetrically arranged first and second opening / closing units 22 and 23, and connecting pipe 2210, this structure supports in-situ backwashing of the filter plate 214. When the two opening / closing units isolate the areas on both sides of the filter plate, the liquid medium can flow backward through the connecting pipe 2210 into the chamber between the filter plate 214 and the second opening / closing unit 23, backwashing impurities on the filter plate. The flushed wastewater is then discharged from the system through the first drain pipe 215 and the second drain pipe 216 located at the bottom of the chamber. This allows for the removal of blockages without disassembling the filter plate, significantly extending the service life and maintenance cycle of the filter plate, and ensuring continuous and efficient system operation.
[0038] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0039] During operation, the user first pulls the pull block 36, which moves the sliding rod 33 and the locking block 35. The sliding rod 33 compresses the return spring 34, causing the return spring 34 to store force, which moves the locking block 35 away from the top of the filter plate 214. The filter plate 214 is then pulled out through the handle above it for replacement. The user then pulls the pull block 36 again to insert the new filter plate 214 into the first slot 212. The return spring 34 pushes the sliding rod 33 with its stored elastic force, which moves the locking block 35 to the top of the filter plate 214 to fix the position of the filter plate 214.
[0040] Then, the user pulls the pull column 225, which causes the opening and closing door 223 to move upward. The opening and closing door 223 squeezes the return spring 227, and the sliding insert 229 inserts one end into the insertion hole 226 to fix the position of the opening and closing door 223. At the same time, the operation of the second opening and closing unit 23 and the first opening and closing unit 22 allows the liquid medium inside the flow pipe 211 to flow and be filtered by the filter plate 214.
[0041] Finally, one end of the insertion post 229 is moved out of the insertion hole 226. The return spring 227 pushes the opening and closing door 223 down by its own elasticity to close the internal space of the flow pipe 211. At the same time, the operation of the second opening and closing unit 23 is the same as above. Through the closure of the first opening and closing unit 22 and the second opening and closing unit 23, the liquid medium enters the space between the filter plate 214 and the second opening and closing unit 23 through the connecting pipe 2210, realizing the backwashing of the filter plate. The water after backwashing is discharged by opening the first drain pipe 215 and the second drain pipe 216.
