The following specification describes the invention. ? COMPLETE

The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a valve art and, more particularly, it relates to a motor operated remotely controlled ball valve for controlling the flow of fluids in residential, commercial and Industrial Application.

Background of invention

Ball Valves are known shutoff armatures widely and increasingly used and applied in different applications like residential, commercial and industrial installations. Thermo Plastic Ball Valves can be operated at a comparatively lower torque of operation / actuation and at the same time, they have a maximum free cross section of flow in their open status of operation.

While valve constructions of conventional type are known in the art, the specific constructions and operational details thereof have not satisfactorily met the needs of industry. In particular, some prior designs have involved very sophisticated and/or cumbersome structures which cause production difficulties and add to the valve costs in conventional type of Ball Valve.

Generally, solenoid valves are employed for controlling the fluid flow. The solenoid valve is an electro-mechanical valve that is used to automatically control the flow of liquid or gas. They usually consist of a coil and plunger assembly. In normally closed valves, a plunger return spring holds the plunger against the orifice and prevents flow. Once the solenoid coil is energized, the resultant magnetic field raises the plunger, enabling flow. In a normally open valve, when the solenoid coil is energized, the plunger seals off the orifice which, in turn, prevents flow.
The most obvious disadvantages of solenoid valves relate to their sensitivity to voltage fluctuations; if the voltage feed is not constant and at the correct rate, the magnetic fields can be affected and therefore the valve will not operate reliably. The incorrect voltage can also cause additional wear to the coil, resulting in a faster deterioration and the need for a replacement.
Furthermore, in case of solenoid valve, adequate input fluid pressure is required to operate the valve otherwise chances of leakage occur. In addition, the solenoid valve cannot be operated or controlled remotely. Further, there is problem of pressure drop due to reduction in internal diameter of the solenoid valve. Also, the inlet and outlet sides in solenoid valves cannot be interchangeable.

It has, therefore, been desired to develop a ball valve which obviates or mitigates aforementioned disadvantages.

Object of invention

A main object of the present invention is to provide a motor operated remotely controlled ball valve which is deemed to meet all of the foregoing needs and others.

Another object of present invention is to provide a motor operated remotely controlled ball valve which is operated independently from input fluid pressure.

Further object of the present invention is to provide ball valve which is remotely operated and control the flow of fluid.

Another object of present invention is to provide a motor operated remotely controlled ball valve which eliminate the problem of pressure drop and maintain the output pressure of fluid.

Another object of present invention is to provide a motor operated remotely controlled ball valve wherein inlet side and outlet side can be interchangeable.

Another object of present invention is to provide a motor operated remotely controlled ball valve which is operated and controlled automatically.

Summary of invention
The present invention relates to a motor operated remotely controlled ball valve comprises a servo motor, a stem, a ball member, a body and a control circuit. The ball member is controlled and operated through the servo motor. Further, said servo motor is operated and controlled through a control circuit which provides the signals related to degree of rotation and speed of rotation to motor. Accordingly, the degree of rotation and speed of rotation of ball member is controlled. Said control circuit is configured to be linked with digital device so that it can receive the control signals remotely and operate valve accordingly.

Detailed description of invention

The nature of the invention and the manner in which it works is clearly described in the complete specification. The invention has various embodiments and they are clearly described in the following pages of the complete specification. Before explaining the present invention, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description.

Now, as shown in Fig. 1 and 2, the improved Thermo Plastic Ball Valve and its assembly according to present invention comprises a servo motor (1), a valve stem (2), a ball member (3), a body (4) and a control circuit (5). The servo motor (1) is connected to the one end of the stem (2) and the other end of the stem (2) is connected to the ball member (3) which is controlled and operated by the servo motor (1). Further the servo motor (1) is operated and controlled through the control circuit (5) which provides the signals related to degree of rotation and speed of rotation to motor. Thereby controlling the degree of rotation and speed of rotation of ball member (3). The said control circuit (5) is configured to be linked with digital device so that it can receive the control signals remotely and operate the valve accordingly.

The valve body (4) having a flow channel passing through the inside of the valve body (4) and said ball member (3) has a through passage therein. The valve body (4) has two ends, inlet end being connected with fluid resources and outlet end for discharging fluid.

The ball member (3) is rotatably located in the flow channel of the valve body (4) between an open condition which permits fluid flow through the flow channel and a closed condition which prevents fluid flow through the flow channel. When the plastic ball valve assembly is open, the ball member (3) at the open position, the through passage of the ball member (3) is coaxial with the flow channel of the valve body (4), and when the plastic ball valve assembly is closed, the ball member (3) at the closed position, the through passage of the ball member (3) is vertical to the flow channel of the valve body (4). The one end of the valve stem (2) is connected with a shaft of the motor (1) and the other end of the valve stem (2) is connected with the ball member (3) for rotating the ball member (3).

The control circuit (5) is configured to provide regulated power supply to the motor (1). Further, said control circuit (5) also controls the ON and OFF states of the motor by providing proper signal. Further, said control circuit (5) is configured to establish wireless connection with digital device i.e. mobile etc. Further, according to present invention, the user is able to control the degree of rotation, speed and timing of opening and closing of ball valve by transmitting signals from the digital device to the control circuit (5).

The motor operated remotely controlled ball valve according to present invention overcome the problems existed in prior art ball valves, meanwhile, the ball valve assembly is simple in structure, convenient to discharge residual liquid in the ball, and strong in practicability.

The invention has been explained in relation to specific embodiment. It is inferred that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the present invention and it is not intended that the invention be limited or restrictive thereto. Many other specific embodiments of the present invention will be apparent to one skilled in the art from the foregoing disclosure. All substitution, alterations and modification of the present invention which come within the scope of the following claims are to which the present invention is readily susceptible without departing from the spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention should therefore be determined not with reference to the above description but should be determined with reference to appended claims along with full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
