Three-way ball valve
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ball valves, in particular to a three-way ball valve.
Background
In industrial or domestic infrastructure, media are usually conveyed by pipelines, in which the pipelines are regulated as a result of pressure or temperature changes, and regulating devices, in particular ball valves, are used in the pipelines for regulating the flow in order to ensure optimum operating conditions and environmental safety. Ball valves are generally valves that use a ball with a circular passage as the opening and closing element, and the ball performs the opening and closing action with the rotation of the valve body. 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. A conventional ball valve is generally a ball having a through hole formed therein and mounted on a valve seat to be opened and closed by rotation of the ball. 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 various departments of petroleum, chemical industry, power generation, paper making, atomic energy, aviation, rockets and the like, and daily life of people. However, in order to ensure that the internal leakage does not occur in the existing ball valve, the ball body, namely the closing member, must be tightly pressed on the valve seat during installation, the torque is large during opening and closing, the abrasion of the sealing member is large, so that the service life of the ball valve is short, and once the existing ball valve fails during use or needs to be replaced due to aging, the whole ball valve needs to be detached from a pipeline for repair and replacement, and the repair and replacement of the ball valve are very difficult under actual working conditions.
