Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve body design technology, specifically relating to a low-pressure ball valve oxygen switch. Background Technology
[0002] In China, the airflow regulating switch typically installed on oxygen regulators uses a non-metallic flat valve. This simple structure only functions as an on / off switch; the handle can only be placed in the "on" or "off" position and cannot adjust the flow rate. (See attached image.) Figure 2 Flow-regulating valves have a more complex structure, also using non-metallic flat valves, and are not mounted on the regulator; they are for standalone use, as shown in the attached document. Figure 3 Non-metallic flat valves are significantly affected by environmental factors such as temperature, and their airtightness is inferior to that of metal ball valves in harsh environments. Therefore, a low-pressure ball valve oxygen switch is needed, requiring small size, good airtightness, and the ability to regulate flow. Utility Model Content
[0003] Purpose of this utility model: To provide a low-pressure ball valve oxygen switch that is small in size, has good airtightness, and can be installed on an oxygen regulator. The low-pressure ball valve oxygen switch of this utility model adopts a spherical structure, and the valve is opened and closed by rotating a handle and shaft.
[0004] Technical solution: A low-pressure ball valve oxygen switch includes: valve body 1, steel ball 2, shaft 3, retaining ring 4, sealing washer 5, damping washer 6, nut 7, handle 8, spring washer 9, and screw 10. The valve body has four stepped holes with decreasing diameters from top to bottom. The fourth hole serves as the oxygen inlet, and the third hole is connected to the outside through a radial through hole as the oxygen outlet. A steel ball is fixed at the front end of the shaft; the steel ball is used to close the oxygen inlet. The shaft is threaded into the inner wall of the third-stage stepped hole; A handle is installed on the upper end of the shaft; Sealing washers are installed at both the top and bottom ends of the first-stage stepped hole, and damping washers are installed between the sealing washers.
[0005] Furthermore, after installing the steel ball 2 in the hemispherical hole at the front end of the shaft 3, the opening is closed, and the closing structure restricts the steel ball 2 from rotating in the hemispherical hole and prevents it from falling off.
[0006] Furthermore, the nut 7 is fitted onto the shaft 3 and threaded to the upper end of the valve body, used to lock the sealing washer and damping washer onto the stepped surface of the first and second stage stepped holes in the valve body.
[0007] Install the retaining ring 4 and tighten it in the groove of the shaft 3; Furthermore, one end face of the inner wall of the sealing washer is chamfered, with the chamfer facing the damping washer; Quantity 5-8 damping washers, soak them in glycerin and then blot them dry with oil filter paper.
[0008] Furthermore, an annular groove is provided in the middle of the shaft, and a retaining ring is installed in the annular groove. The retaining ring moves between the sealing washer at the lower end and the stepped surface of the second and third stage stepped hole of the valve body to limit the movement of the shaft.
[0009] Furthermore, a handle 8 and a spring washer 9 are sequentially installed on the upper end of shaft 3, and then screws 10 are tightened.
[0010] Furthermore, the valve body 1 is made of brass Hpb59-1, and the fourth-stage stepped hole serves as the valve seat opening, with a valve seat opening size of φ1.5mm; The diameter of steel ball 2 is φ3mm; The shaft 3 is made of stainless steel 2Cr13, and the thread size that fits with the valve body 1 is M6. The end has 36 teeth to drive the handle 8 to rotate. The retaining ring 4 is made of bronze QSn4-3; Sealing gasket 5 is made of brass Hpb59-1; Damping washer 6 is made of leather; Nut 7 is made of brass Hpb59-1; The handle 8 is made of hard aluminum and has 36 teeth in the inner cavity. When the handle is rotated, it drives the shaft 3 to rotate through gear transmission. Spring washer 9 is made of 65Mn steel; Screw 10 is made of brass Hpb59-1.
[0011] Furthermore, when the input pressure is 6 kgf / cm 2 When the handle 8 is in the closed position, the steel ball 2 is airtight; when the handle 8 is turned to the open position, oxygen flows from the inlet through the open steel ball 2 to the outlet.
[0012] Beneficial effects: This invention provides a low-pressure ball valve oxygen switch, which is small in size, has good valve airtightness, and can be used alone or installed on an oxygen regulator. Attached Figure Description
