Ball valve
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline valves, and particularly relates to a ball valve.
Background
The ball valve is mainly used for cutting off, distributing and changing the flow direction of a medium in a pipeline, and can be closed tightly only by rotating 90 degrees and a small rotating moment. The ball valve is most suitable for being used as a switch and a stop valve. The ball valve has the advantages of small fluid resistance, simple structure, tightness, reliability, convenient operation, rapid opening and closing, wide application range and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of petroleum, petrifaction, chemical industry, metallurgy, electric power, water conservancy, water heating, urban construction, fire fighting, machinery, coal, food, ships, power stations, ocean engineering and the like. The opening and closing part of the ball valve is a ball body with a through hole and rotates around an axis vertical to the channel, so that the aim of opening and closing the channel is fulfilled. In actual work, when the medium of the ball valve is high in viscosity and easy to crystallize or coke, the medium is easy to adhere to the surface of the inner runner of the ball body, so that the area of the cross section of the inner runner is reduced, the flow coefficient is reduced, the flow is finally reduced, and the through-flow performance of the ball valve is influenced.

When the ball valve is changed from the connection state to the disconnection state, the locking rod 51 is pulled firstly, so that the locking rod 51 compresses the locking spring 52 to withdraw from the locking groove 12, and then the valve rod 3 is rotated; the valve rod 3 drives the arc-shaped block 413 to rotate, the valve rod 3 cannot drive the rotating rod 414 to rotate under the action of the tension spring 415 at the beginning, when the valve rod 3 drives the valve ball 2 to rotate to the position where the flow channel 21 and the cleaning plate 424 are coaxial, the rotating rod 414 is contacted with the shoulder 4111, then the valve rod 3 rotates to drive the rotating rod 414 to rotate, so that the fixed block 422 rotates by taking the valve ball 2 as a circle center until the axis of the flow channel 21 is vertical to the axis of the first connecting pipe 14, and the ball valve is in a disconnected state; in this process, since the second gear 426 is engaged with the arc-shaped rack 427, the second gear 426 keeps rotating all the time, so the rotating shaft 4221 drives the first gear 425 to rotate, the first gear 425 enables the sliding block 423 to drive the cleaning plate 424 to enter the flow channel 21 and extend out of the flow channel 21, so as to scrape off the sludge on the inner wall of the flow channel 21.
When the ball valve is changed from a disconnected state to a connected state: firstly, the valve rod 3 is rotated, and the rotating rod 414 and the valve ball 2 are driven to rotate simultaneously by the force of the tension spring 415; in the process, the first gear 425 enables the sliding block 423 to drive the cleaning plate 424 to be completely withdrawn from the flow passage 21 until the sliding block 423 touches the rotation stop rod 416, and the sliding block 423 does not rotate any more; the valve rod 3 continues to drive the valve ball 2 to rotate, the rotating rod 414 rotates the tension spring 415 and the valve rod 3 relatively until the ball valve becomes a communication state, and the valve rod 3 stops rotating.
The working process of the ball valve is as follows:
when the ball valve is in a communication state (see fig. 1 and 2): the operator pulls the locking lever 51 to withdraw the locking lever 51 from the locking groove 12 compressing the locking spring 52, and then rotates the valve stem 3; the valve rod 3 drives the arc-shaped block 413 to rotate, the state of the rotating rod 414 is shown in fig. 8 at the beginning, the rotating rod 414 cannot be driven by the valve rod 3 to rotate under the action of the tension spring 415, when the valve rod 3 drives the valve ball 2 to rotate to the position where the flow channel 21 and the cleaning plate 424 are coaxial (see fig. 3), the rotating rod 414 is in contact with the shoulder 4111, the state of the rotating rod 414 is shown in fig. 7, then the shoulder 4111 drives the rotating rod 414 to rotate when the valve rod 3 rotates, so that the fixed block 422 rotates by taking the valve ball 2 as a center until the axis of the flow channel 21 is perpendicular to the axis of the first connecting pipe 14, and the ball valve becomes disconnected (see fig. 4); in the process, the second gear 426 is meshed with the arc-shaped rack 427, the second gear 426 drives the rotating shaft 4221 to always rotate, so that the rotating shaft 4221 drives the first gear 425 to rotate, and the first gear 425 is meshed with the first rack 4231 on the sliding block 423, so that the sliding block 423 drives the cleaning plate 424 to enter the flow channel 21 and extend out of the flow channel 21, and sludge on the inner wall of the flow channel 21 is scraped.
When the ball valve is changed from the disconnection state to the connection state: firstly, the valve rod 3 is rotated, and the rotating rod 414 and the valve ball 2 are driven to rotate simultaneously by the force of the tension spring 415; in the process, the first gear 425 enables the sliding block 423 to drive the cleaning plate 424 to be completely withdrawn from the flow passage 21 until the sliding block 423 touches the rotation stop rod 416, and the sliding block 423 does not rotate any more; the valve rod 3 continues to drive the valve ball 2 to rotate, the rotary rod 414 enables the tension spring 415 and the valve rod 3 to rotate relatively until the ball valve becomes a communication state, the valve rod 3 stops rotating, and one cleaning process is finished; after cleaning for many times, an operator opens the cleaning door plate 13 on the outer side of the valve body 1 when the ball valve is in an off state, wipes the cleaning plate 424, and prevents sludge from being solidified on the cleaning plate 424 to influence the cleaning effect; the operator then closes the cleaning door 13.
