BALL VALVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011569 titled 'BALL VALVE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a ball valve design that includes a body, a plug, a ball shutter, and connecting elements. The body and the first connecting element form a monobloc body, while the plug and the second connecting element also form a monobloc body. The valve is designed to partially close an internal cavity and allows fluid communication through the ball shutter and the connecting elements.
- The ball valve is designed with a monobloc body, eliminating the need for welds.
- The plug and the second connecting element also form a monobloc body.
- The valve allows for partial closure of the internal cavity.
- The ball shutter is housed within the internal cavity.
- The first connecting element is a hollow tubular element in fluid communication with the ball shutter.
- The second connecting element is also a hollow tubular element in fluid communication with the ball shutter.
Potential Applications:
- Industrial processes requiring fluid control and regulation.
- Plumbing systems for residential and commercial buildings.
- Oil and gas industry for controlling the flow of fluids.
Problems Solved:
- Eliminates the need for welds, reducing the risk of leaks and improving reliability.
- Provides a compact and efficient design for fluid control.
- Offers a durable and long-lasting solution for fluid regulation.
Benefits:
- Improved reliability and reduced risk of leaks.
- Simplified design with monobloc bodies.
- Easy installation and maintenance.
- Enhanced durability and longevity.
Original Abstract Submitted
a ball valve () comprising a body () delimiting an internal cavity, a plug () configured to be permanently connected to the body (), for partially closing the internal cavity, a ball shutter () housed in the internal cavity, a first connecting element () configured as a hollow tubular element in fluid communication with the ball shutter () and wherein the plug () comprises a second connecting element () configured as a hollow tubular element in fluid communication with the ball shutter (), wherein the body () and the first connecting element () together define a monobloc body and wherein the plug () and the second connecting element () together define a monobloc body without welds.
