A ball valve with a ball rotatably mounted within the housing. The ball is rotatable between an opened configuration, in which fluid flows through the ball, and a closed configuration, in which a ball seat engages a housing seat to prevent fluid from flowing through the ball valve. The ball may include one or more biasing members that urge the ball seat away from the ball and toward the housing seat. An engaging face of the ball seat may have a spherical or toroidal shape and an engaging face of the housing seat may have a conical shape. The ball seat may have up to six degrees of freedom related to the ball when the ball is in the closed configuration and the ball valve under pressure.

A valve assembly has a stationary valve body and a valve member that is movable relative to the valve body at least from a closed position, in which the valve member cooperates with a valve seat to completely obstruct a fluid path formed through the valve body, to an open position, which allows fluid to flow through the fluid path. The valve member has a disc- or ball-shaped rigid component that is overmolded with a flexible component and at least partially encompasses the rigid component in a circumferential direction to form a ring gasket section.

Valves having seats and counterseats with various contours are provided. In one embodiment, a valve includes a body and a flow control assembly inside the body. The flow control assembly includes a ball, a seat installed on the ball, and a counterseat. The ball is rotatable between open and closed positions to control flow through the body and the seat and counterseat include mating surfaces that engage when the ball is in the closed position such that the seat seals against the counterseat along the mating surfaces. Further, the mating surface of the counterseat can be a concave surface, the mating surface of the seat can be a convex surface, and at least one of the mating surfaces can have a toroidal contour.

An angle ball valve includes a housing, valve chamber, and first and second fluid ports. A hollow ball is disposed within the valve chamber and in abutment to sealing elements, and includes a first surface opening and second surface opening and is rotatable within the valve chamber about an axis of ball rotation between open and closed ball valve positions. A first sensor orifice is formed within the valve housing coaxial with the axis of ball rotation and receives a sensor, which extends into a second sensor orifice of the ball. A valve stem is operatively connected to the ball and extends along the axis of ball rotation opposite the first sensor orifice. The valve stem rotates the ball into and out of open and closed ball valve positions.

A valve core comprises a columnar body with a first water passage hole, a buffer groove being disposed on the body and located at an outside of the first water passage hole; a sealing block matched with the buffer groove and being disposed inside the buffer groove; wherein a partitioning portion is disposed between the buffer groove and the first water passage hole, a connection hole is disposed in the partitioning portion capable of communicating the buffer groove with the first water passage hole. through the provision of the partitioning portion, avoids the direct impact of the water flow on the sealing block, and eliminates the unstable factors caused by water flow on the sealing block, so that the sealing block is pressed tightly on an inner wall of a valve body.

The invention relates to a sealing system for a valve for interruption of a fluid flow along a fluid flow path passing through the valve, the sealing system includes an inlet adapter, a valve body connected to the inlet adapter, a seal arranged between the inlet adapter and the valve body with a seal opening through the seal for the fluid flowing when the valve is open, and a sealing body with a ball segment-shaped sealing surface element and bearing element arranged on the side of the sealing surface element. The sealing body is mounted within the valve body so as to be rotatable around an axis running substantially perpendicular to the fluid flow path and through the bearing element.

This utility model relates to a five-dimensional eccentric valve sealing structure. It is comprised of a valve body, valve stem, and disk, wherein the open-close member is positioned inside the valve body, the valve stem is connected to the open-close member, a sealing ring is set on the open-close member, a valve seat is set in the valve body, the valve seat and sealing ring are closed to form a sealing surface which is shaped as an arc. This utility model has the advantage of simple structure. With five-dimensional eccentricity, each radial section of the sealing surface is a normal circular section, which can reduce the opening and closing torque and result in good sealing performance and prolonged valve service life.

A flat bottom ball valve is provided in the present disclosure. According to an example, the flat bottom ball valve includes a valve body, a valve core, a valve rod, a bonnet and a flow path. The valve core is mounted inside the valve body. The valve rod is mounted on two opposite sides of the valve body, perpendicular to a liquid flow direction and capable of driving the valve core to turn over. The bonnet is movably mounted on the valve body and parallel to the valve rod. The flow path is defined inside the valve body and connects two ends of the valve body. The valve core includes a main body part, a connecting part formed by extending symmetrically from two sides of the main body part, an accessory defined on the main body part and a first mounting hole in the connecting part to engage with the valve rod. The valve core swings around the valve rod along a path above the valve rod and is capable of being hermetically engaged with the valve body to turn off/on the flow path. A horizontal center line of the main body part is parallel to a horizontal center line of the first mounting hole in the liquid flow direction of the flow path.
