Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball valves for liquid cooling pipelines, and in particular to a quick-install ball valve for liquid cooling pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid cooling piping is a network of pipes used in liquid cooling systems, primarily for transporting coolant (such as water or specialized coolant) to dissipate heat and keep equipment (such as CPUs, GPUs, or other electronic devices) within their normal operating temperature range. Liquid cooling piping is typically made of corrosion-resistant and high-pressure-resistant materials, such as copper, steel, or special plastics, with excellent sealing properties to ensure no coolant leakage. In liquid cooling piping, ball valves are often used as switches or regulating valves to control coolant flow. Operating a ball valve allows for easy opening or closing of the piping, adjustment of flow rate, or maintenance. A ball valve is a highly efficient valve that uses an internal ball to control fluid flow. Its basic structure includes a ball with a through-hole; rotating the ball allows for fully opening or closing, and also for flow rate regulation.

[0003] In the process of realizing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the prior art: conventional ball valves are generally one-piece, which makes disassembly and assembly cumbersome, maintenance and replacement inconvenient, resulting in greater losses and lower efficiency. Moreover, the opening and closing of the ball valve can be adjusted at will after turning the handle, and the lack of a locking mechanism may lead to accidental opening or closing, affecting the stability of the system operation.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a quick-install ball valve for liquid-cooled pipelines to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a quick-install ball valve for liquid-cooled pipelines. When the insert is inserted into the socket, it can restrict the further rotation of the handle and lock the position of the ball.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A quick-install ball valve for liquid-cooled pipelines includes a pipeline body, a ball, and a movable column. A fixing ring is fixedly installed on one side of the inner end of the pipeline body, and a limiting ring is fixedly installed on the other side of the pipeline body. A connecting flange is fixedly installed on the other side of the limiting ring and on one side of the pipeline body.

[0008] A fixing plate is fixedly installed at the upper end of the pipe body, and a hollow column is fixedly installed at the upper end of the fixing plate. Two insertion holes are opened at the upper edge of the hollow column. A toothed groove is opened at the upper end of the sphere. A handle is fixedly installed at the upper end of the movable column. An insertion post is fixedly installed at the lower end of the handle. A single toothed ring is fixedly installed at the lower end of the movable column.

[0009] Furthermore, the sphere is rotatably disposed at the inner end of the pipe body, and the sphere is placed between the fixed ring and the limiting ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the movable column is movably disposed at the inner end of the hollow column, and the insertion column is movably disposed at the inner end of the insertion hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the single-tooth ring meshes with the tooth groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the two sockets are at a 90-degree angle to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the handle is located at the upper end of the hollow column.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention proposes a quick-install ball valve for liquid-cooled pipelines. First, the ball is inserted into the pipeline body from one side. Then, a limiting ring is fixed to the side of the pipeline body away from the fixing ring using bolts to restrict the ball's position and ensure its secure installation. Next, two connecting flanges are installed on the pipeline body and the limiting ring for connecting the liquid-cooled pipeline. When the toothed side is moved to the lower end of the through-hole above the pipeline body, a fixing plate is installed at the upper end of the pipeline body, allowing the movable column to slide freely inside the hollow column. After installation, the single-toothed ring will correctly enter the toothed groove. Turning the handle at this point causes the movable column to rotate within the hollow column, thereby adjusting the opening degree of the ball's through-hole within the pipeline, achieving pipeline opening or closing, and thus adjusting the liquid flow rate. When the insert is inserted into the insertion hole, further rotation of the handle is restricted, locking the ball's position and ensuring operational stability. This not only enables quick installation and disassembly but also allows for precise control of liquid flow by adjusting the ball's position, improving pipeline operating efficiency.

[0024] 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.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0026] A quick-install ball valve for liquid-cooled pipelines includes a pipeline body 1, a ball 5, and a movable column 10. A fixing ring 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner end of the pipeline body 1, and a limiting ring 3 is fixedly installed on the other side of the pipeline body 1. A connecting flange 4 is fixedly installed on the other side of the limiting ring 3 and on one side of the pipeline body 1. A fixing plate 7 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the pipeline body 1, and a hollow column 8 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the fixing plate 7. Two insertion holes 9 are opened at the upper edge of the hollow column 8. A toothed groove 6 is opened at the upper end of the ball 5. A handle 11 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the movable column 10, and an insertion post 12 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the handle 11. A single-toothed ring 13 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the movable column 10. The ball 5 is rotatably installed at the inner end of the pipeline body 1 and is placed between the fixing ring 2 and the limiting ring 3. The movable column 10 is movably installed at the inner end of the hollow column 8, and the insertion post 12 is movably installed at the inner end of the insertion hole 9. The single-toothed ring 13 is engaged with the toothed groove 6. The two insertion holes 9 are at a 90-degree angle. The handle 11 is located at the upper end of the hollow column 8.

[0027] Specifically, first, insert the ball 5 from one side of the pipe body 1, and then use bolts to fix the limiting ring 3 to the side of the pipe body 1 away from the fixing ring 2 to limit the position of the ball 5 and ensure its firmness. Next, install two connecting flanges 4 on the pipe body 1 and the limiting ring 3 to connect the liquid cooling pipeline. When the ball 5 is adjusted so that its upper end with the toothed groove 6 is directly below the top through hole of the pipe body 1, then install the fixing plate 7 on the upper end of the pipe body 1 so that the movable column 10 can slide freely inside the hollow column 8.

[0028] After installation, the single-tooth ring 13 will correctly enter the tooth groove 6. When the operator rotates the handle 11, the movable column 10 rotates in the hollow column 8, which drives the single-tooth ring 13 to rotate and also drives the ball 5 to rotate. The through hole on the ball 5 gradually opens or closes during the rotation, thereby regulating the flow of liquid through the pipeline and realizing the opening or closing of the pipeline.

[0029] When a specific flow rate needs to be locked, inserting the plunger 12 into the corresponding socket 9 restricts the further rotation of the handle 11, locking the ball 5 in the set position and ensuring the stability and reliability of the adjustment. When the plunger 12 is inserted into one of the sockets 9, the ball 5 is in the fully open position, and the liquid flow rate reaches its maximum; when the plunger 12 is inserted into another socket 9 at a 90-degree angle, the ball 5 is in the closed position, the water flow is completely blocked, and a seal is formed inside the pipe body 1.

[0030] It is particularly important to note that during installation, the toothed groove 6 of the ball 5 must be facing upwards before installing the fixing plate 7. Only in this way can the single-toothed ring 13 correctly enter the toothed groove 6 and complete the rotation adjustment of the ball 5. Otherwise, the normal rotation of the ball 5 cannot be achieved. When turning the handle 11, the movable column 10, which connects to the single-toothed ring 13, should also be slightly raised. Otherwise, the insert 12 will directly insert into the socket 9, causing the handle 11 to be unable to rotate.

[0031] Working principle: First, insert the ball 5 from one side of the pipe body 1, and then use bolts to fix the limiting ring 3 on the side of the pipe body 1 away from the fixing ring 2 to limit the position of the ball 5 and ensure its firmness. Next, install two connecting flanges 4 on the pipe body 1 and the limiting ring 3 to connect the liquid cooling pipeline. When the ball 5 is adjusted so that its upper end with the toothed groove 6 is directly below the through hole at the top of the pipe body 1, then install the fixing plate 7 on the upper end of the pipe body 1 so that the movable column 10 can slide freely inside the hollow column 8.

[0032] After installation, the single-tooth ring 13 will correctly enter the tooth groove 6. At this time, turn the handle 11, and the movable column 10 will rotate in the hollow column 8, thereby adjusting the opening degree of the ball 5 through hole in the pipe, realizing the closure or opening of the pipe, and thus adjusting the flow rate of the liquid. When the insert 12 is inserted into the insertion hole 9, it can limit the rotation of the handle 11 again and lock the position of the ball 5.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
