Working Principle and Wide Application of Drip Irrigation Ball Valves

In the field of water-saving irrigation in modern agriculture, drip irrigation ball valves, with their excellent performance and wide application, have become a key technology for improving water resource utilization efficiency. This article will introduce the working principle of drip irrigation ball valves and their diverse applications in modern agriculture.


Working Principle of Drip Irrigation Ball Valves


The working principle of a drip irrigation ball valve relies on the rotation of a ball around the centerline of the valve body to open and close the valve. Specifically, when the ball valve is rotated 90 degrees, its inlet and outlet are fully spherical, thereby tightly closing the valve and effectively stopping the flow of the medium. Conversely, when the ball valve is rotated 90 degrees in the opposite direction, the inlet and outlet are completely open, allowing the medium to flow smoothly.


The sealing mechanism of the drip irrigation ball valve produces sufficient sealing force under the action of preload or medium pressure, causing the valve seat and the ball to fit tightly together. At this point, the sealing ring undergoes elastic-plastic deformation to compensate for relative deformation, roundness errors, and surface roughness of the ball, thereby ensuring that the gap on the sealing surface is reduced to less than the diameter of the fluid molecules, achieving leak-proof sealing.


Wide Application of Drip Irrigation Ball Valves


In intelligent irrigation systems, drip irrigation ball valves can automatically irrigate according to soil moisture conditions and can be precisely controlled remotely via mobile phones or computers, greatly enhancing the efficiency and convenience of irrigation.


In water-saving irrigation technology, due to their high degree of automation and intelligence, drip irrigation ball valves are widely used in various irrigation scenarios, saving labor costs and effectively reducing energy consumption.


In facility agriculture, drip irrigation ball valves are used in drip irrigation systems for various crops such as cotton, corn, soybeans, and guar beans. Their reliability and stability have been widely validated. Additionally, when compared with valves of different models and materials, the advantages of drip irrigation ball valves become more apparent.


In integrated water and fertilizer intelligent irrigation systems, drip irrigation ball valves act as crucial components, achieving the automation and intelligence of irrigation and fertilization, significantly improving the utilization efficiency of water and fertilizer, and providing strong support for the sustainable development of modern agriculture.


Furthermore, drip irrigation ball valves are also suitable for large field irrigation scenarios in modern agriculture, meeting the high flow irrigation needs of large areas of flowers and crops, providing essential technical support for water-saving irrigation in modern agriculture.


In summary, with their diverse types, precise control capabilities, and wide range of applications, drip irrigation ball valves play a pivotal role in water-saving irrigation in modern agriculture and are an important force driving the development of modern agriculture.
