Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration, and particularly to an electromagnetic switching valve and a refrigeration system having the same. Background Art

[0002] In a refrigeration system, a four-way valve is usually used to switch the flow direction of the refrigerant. The four-way valve generally has two working positions. When applied to an air-conditioning refrigeration system, when the air conditioner is in a refrigeration cycle, the D connection of the four-way valve communicates with the C connection, and the E connection communicates with the S connection. At this time, the outdoor heat exchanger contains high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which releases heat to the outdoor environment, and the indoor heat exchanger contains low-temperature and low-pressure gas, which absorbs the heat of the indoor environment to achieve indoor refrigeration; when the air conditioner is in a heating cycle, the D connection communicates with the E connection, and the C connection communicates with the S connection. The indoor heat exchanger contains high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which releases heat to the indoor environment to achieve indoor heating, and the outdoor heat exchanger contains low-temperature and low-pressure gas to achieve outdoor refrigeration.

[0003] In practical applications, when the air-conditioning refrigeration system is in a heating cycle for a long time, the outdoor heat exchanger will frost. To ensure the normal operation of the air-conditioning system, it is necessary to defrost the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0004] Currently, the commonly used method is to switch the working position of the four-way valve to make the system in a refrigeration cycle state, so that the outdoor heat exchanger passes through high-temperature and high-pressure gas to achieve defrosting. After defrosting is completed, the working position of the four-way valve is switched again to achieve a heating cycle. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0045] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0046] For the convenience of understanding and concise description, the electromagnetic switching valve and its main valve, and the refrigeration system having the electromagnetic switching valve will be described together below, and the beneficial effects will not be repeated.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the principle of the refrigeration system in the refrigeration mode in the specific embodiment provided by the present invention; Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the principle of the refrigeration system in the heating mode in the specific embodiment provided by the present invention; Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of the principle of the refrigeration system in the first defrosting mode in the specific embodiment provided by the present invention; Figure 4 , which is a schematic diagram of the principle of the refrigeration system in the second defrosting mode in the specific embodiment provided by the present invention.

[0048] As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the refrigeration system includes a compressor 101, an indoor heat exchanger 102, a first outdoor heat exchanger 131, a second outdoor heat exchanger 132, a four-way valve 104, and an electromagnetic switching valve 105.

[0049] Among them, the four-way valve 104 is a currently common four-way valve structure, having only two working positions, that is, the working position where its E port is connected to the S port and the D port is connected to the C port, and the working position where the E port is connected to the D port and the S port is connected to the C port.

[0050] The electromagnetic switching valve 105 is an electromagnetic switching valve improved by the present invention on the basis of the existing four-way valve, having three working positions, which will be specifically described in the working modes of the refrigeration system below.

[0051] Among them, the inlet of the compressor 101 is communicated with the S port of the four-way valve 104. The outlet pipeline of the compressor 101 is divided into two branches. The first branch is communicated with the D port of the four-way valve 104, and the second branch is communicated with the D interface of the electromagnetic switching valve 105. A throttle valve 106 is also provided on the second branch. Specifically, the throttle valve 106 can be an expansion valve to adjust the refrigerant flow rate on each branch and ensure the normal operation of the refrigeration system.

[0052] The C port of the four-way valve 104 is communicated with an interface of the indoor heat exchanger 102, and the E port is communicated with the S interface of the electromagnetic switching valve 105.

[0053] The E interface of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is communicated with an interface of the first outdoor heat exchanger 131, and the C interface of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is communicated with an interface of the second outdoor heat exchanger 132.

[0054] The other interface of the first outdoor heat exchanger 131 and the other interface of the second outdoor heat exchanger 132 are communicated with the other interface of the indoor heat exchanger through a pipeline, and a throttling element is provided on this pipeline.

[0055] With the above settings, the working modes of this refrigeration system include a refrigeration mode, a heating mode, and a defrosting mode. Among them, the defrosting mode has two situations, which will be described one by one below.

[0056] Cooling mode

[0057] As Figure 1 shown, in the refrigeration mode, the four-way valve 104 is in the working position where the D port is communicated with the E port and the C port is communicated with the S port, and the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is in the working position where the E interface, the S interface, and the C interface are mutually communicated.

[0058] Since the D interface of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is in a closed state, in actual application, the flow regulating valve 106 can be closed. Of course, it is also feasible to adjust the flow regulating valve 106 to a smaller opening. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant at the outlet end of the compressor 101 mainly flows through the first branch to the D port of the four-way valve 104, and then flows through the E port of the four-way valve 104 to the S interface of the electromagnetic switching valve 105. Since the S interface of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is communicated with both its E interface and C interface, the refrigerant flowing into the S interface is divided into two paths and flows into the first outdoor heat exchanger 131 and the second outdoor heat exchanger 132 through the E interface and the C interface respectively. At this time, both outdoor heat exchangers are in the heating state. After the refrigerant passes through the outdoor heat exchanger, it becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure state through the throttling element, passes through the indoor heat exchanger 102. At this time, the indoor heat exchanger 102 is in the refrigeration state, and finally returns to the compressor 101 through the four-way valve 104.

[0059] Heating mode

[0060] As Figure 2 shown, in the heating mode, the four-way valve 104 is in the working position where port D is connected to port C and port E is connected to port S, and the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is in the working position where port E, port S, and port C are interconnected.

[0061] Since the D port of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is in a closed state, in actual application, the flow regulating valve 106 can be closed, or it can also be adjusted to a small opening degree; the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant at the outlet end of the compressor 101 mainly flows through the first branch to port D of the four-way valve 104, and then through port C of the four-way valve 104 to the indoor heat exchanger 102. At this time, the indoor heat exchanger 103 is in the heating state. Then, after passing through the throttling element, the refrigerant becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure state and flows into the first outdoor heat exchanger 131 and the second outdoor heat exchanger 132 respectively. At this time, both outdoor heat exchangers are in the refrigeration state. The refrigerant flowing out of the two outdoor heat exchangers flows to port E and port C of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 respectively, and then through port S of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 to the four-way valve 104, and finally returns to the compressor 101.

[0062] First defrost mode

[0063] As Figure 3 shown, in the first defrosting mode, the four-way valve 104 is in the working position where port D is connected to port C and port E is connected to port S, and the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is in the working position where port E is connected to port S and port D is connected to port C.

[0064] The flow regulating valve 106 can adjust its opening degree according to the defrosting requirements, and at the same time, the heating effect of the indoor heat exchanger 102 should also be ensured.

[0065] The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant at the outlet end of the compressor 101 is divided into two branches. A part of the refrigerant is adjusted by the flow regulating valve 106 and then flows into the second outdoor heat exchanger 132 through the passage from port D to port C of the electromagnetic switching valve 105. At this time, the second outdoor heat exchanger 132 is in the defrosting state. The refrigerant flowing out of the second outdoor heat exchanger 132 will flow to the first outdoor heat exchanger 131 due to the pressure difference, and then return to the compressor 101 through the passage from port E to port S of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 and the passage from port E to port S of the four-way valve 104; another part of the refrigerant at the outlet end of the compressor 101 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 102 through the passage from port D to port C of the four-way valve 104. The indoor heat exchanger 102 is in the heating state. The refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 102 becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure state after passing through the throttling element, flows through the first outdoor heat exchanger 131. The first outdoor heat exchanger 131 is in the refrigeration state. The refrigerant flowing out of the first outdoor heat exchanger 131 finally returns to the compressor 101 through the electromagnetic switching valve 105 and the four-way valve 104.

[0066] Second defrost mode

[0067] As shown Figure 4 in the figure, in the second defrosting mode, the four-way valve 104 is in the working position where the D port is connected to the C port and the E port is connected to the S port, and the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is in the working position where the D interface is connected to the E interface and the C interface is connected to the S interface.

[0068] The flow regulating valve 106 can adjust its opening degree according to the defrosting requirement, and at the same time, the heating effect of the indoor heat exchanger 102 should also be ensured.

[0069] The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant at the outlet end of the compressor 101 is divided into two branches. A part of the refrigerant flows into the first outdoor heat exchanger 131 through the path from the D interface to the E interface of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 after being adjusted by the flow regulating valve 106. At this time, the first outdoor heat exchanger 131 is in the defrosting state. The refrigerant flowing out of the first outdoor heat exchanger 131 will flow to the second outdoor heat exchanger 132 due to the action of the pressure difference, and return to the compressor 101 through the path from the C interface to the S interface of the electromagnetic switching valve 105 and the path from the E port to the S port of the four-way valve 104; Another part of the refrigerant at the outlet end of the compressor 101 flows to the indoor heat exchanger 102 through the path from the D port to the C port of the four-way valve. The indoor heat exchanger 102 is in the heating state. The refrigerant flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 102 becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure state after passing through the throttling element, flows through the second outdoor heat exchanger 132. The second outdoor heat exchanger 132 is in the refrigeration state. The refrigerant flowing out of the second outdoor heat exchanger 132 finally returns to the compressor 101 through the electromagnetic switching valve 105 and the four-way valve 104.

[0070] As can be seen above, by dividing the outdoor heat exchanger into two parts and combining the electromagnetic switching valve 105 with three working positions provided by the present invention and the conventional four-way valve 104, the refrigeration system can have a conventional refrigeration mode and a heating mode, and can also defrost the outdoor heat exchanger without affecting the heating of the indoor heat exchanger 102.

[0071] From the above working modes of the refrigeration system, it can be known that the electromagnetic switching valve 105 provided by the present invention can switch between three working positions. Specifically, its slider can switch between three working positions relative to the valve seat:

[0072] When the slider is located at the first working position, the E interface and the S interface of the valve seat are connected through the inner cavity of the slider, and the C interface is not connected to the inner cavity of the slider, that is, the C interface is connected to the D interface through the valve cavity; It can be understood that this first working position is the working position where the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is located in the first defrosting mode of the above refrigeration system;

[0073] The slider is located at the second working position. The E port, S port, and C port of the valve seat are all in communication with the inner cavity of the slider, that is, the E port, S port, and C port are in communication with each other. It can be understood that this second working position is the working position where the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is located in the refrigeration mode and the heating mode of the above-mentioned refrigeration system.

[0074] The slider is located at the third working position. The S port and C port of the valve seat are in communication through the inner cavity of the slider, and the E port is not in communication with the inner cavity of the slider, that is, the E port is in communication with the D port through the valve cavity. It can be understood that this third working position is the working position where the electromagnetic switching valve 105 is located in the second defrosting mode of the above-mentioned refrigeration system.

[0075] The following will make a detailed description of the specific structure of the electromagnetic switching valve provided by the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , Figures 5 to 7 which are respectively the structural schematic diagrams of the electromagnetic switching valve in the first working mode, the second working mode, and the third working mode in the specific embodiment.

[0077] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic switching valve includes a main valve and a pilot valve.

[0078] The main valve of the electromagnetic switching valve includes a valve body component having a valve cavity, a valve seat 202, a slider 203, and a connecting rod assembly 204.

[0079] The valve body component has a D port in communication with the valve cavity; the valve seat 202 is provided with an E port, an S port, and a C port; the connecting rod assembly 204 includes a connecting rod 241 and a first piston component 242 and a second piston component 243 fixed at both ends of the connecting rod 241; the slider 203 has a slider inner cavity 203a, the bottom surface of the slider 203 is tightly attached to the valve seat 202, and can slide along the valve seat 202 under the drive of the connecting rod assembly 204.

[0080] In this embodiment, the main valve further includes a sliding member 205, and the sliding member 205 includes a partition portion 251.

[0081] In this embodiment, the valve cavity includes a large-diameter cavity and a small-diameter cavity. The aforementioned valve seat 202, slider 203, and connecting rod assembly 204 are arranged in the small-diameter cavity; the partition portion 251 of the sliding member 205 is located in the large-diameter cavity, and the sliding member 205 can slide in the valve cavity to approach or move away from the valve seat 202.

[0082] The pilot valve of the electromagnetic switching valve specifically includes a first pilot valve component 206 and a second pilot valve component 207, which cooperate to change the pressure difference at both ends of the connecting rod assembly 204 and the pressure difference at both ends of the sliding member, so as to switch the sliding direction of the slider 202 and the sliding direction of the sliding member 205, so that the slider 202 can switch between the aforementioned three working positions.

[0083] Obviously, the two piston components of the connecting rod assembly 204 are respectively in sliding and sealing cooperation with the valve cavity. In this embodiment, the isolation part 251 of the slider 205 is in sliding and sealing cooperation with the valve cavity. Only in this way can the sliding of both be achieved by controlling the pressure difference at both ends of the connecting rod assembly 204 and the pressure difference at both ends of the isolation part 251.

[0084] Specifically, the first piston component 242 of the connecting rod assembly 204 is relatively close to the slider 205, and the second piston component 243 is relatively far from the slider 205.

[0085] It can be understood that after the above settings, the valve cavity of the valve body component is divided into four mutually sealed cavities, that is, the first cavity Q1 formed between the isolation part 251 of the slider 205 and one end wall of the valve body component, the second cavity Q2 formed between the isolation part 251 and the second piston component 242, the third cavity Q3 formed between the first piston component 241 and the other end wall of the valve body component, and the main valve cavity Q4 formed between the first piston component 241 and the second piston component 242.

[0086] That is, the first pilot valve component 206 and the second pilot valve component 207 can change the pressure difference between the second cavity Q2 and the third cavity Q3, and the pressure difference between the first cavity Q1 and the second cavity Q2, so as to switch the sliding direction of the slider 203 and the sliding direction of the slider 205.

[0087] Specifically, the D interface of the valve body component is communicated with the main valve cavity Q4. It can be understood that in the refrigeration system, the D interface is connected to the high-pressure end of the system, that is, the main valve cavity Q4 is always connected to the high pressure.

[0088] Specifically, the first pilot valve component 206 controls the pressure difference at both ends of the connecting rod assembly 204, that is, the pressure difference between the second cavity Q2 and the third cavity Q3, and the second pilot valve component 207 changes the pressure of the first cavity Q1. Combining the change of the pressure of the second cavity Q2 by the first pilot valve component 206, the control of the pressure difference between the first cavity Q1 and the second cavity Q2 is realized.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 8a and Figure 8b , Figure 8a and Figure 8b are respectively partial schematic diagrams of the first pilot valve component of the electromagnetic switching valve in the energized state and the de-energized state in the specific embodiment.

[0090] In this embodiment, the first pilot valve component 206 includes a first driving part, a first pilot valve sleeve 261 with a first sleeve cavity, a first pilot valve seat 262 and a first pilot valve bowl 263; the first pilot valve seat 262 and the first pilot valve bowl 263 are located in the first sleeve cavity, and the first pilot valve seat 261 has a first connection port, a second connection port and a third connection port.

[0091] The first pilot valve bowl 263 is tightly pressed against the first pilot valve seat 262. Driven by the first driving part, the first pilot valve bowl 263 can slide along the first pilot valve seat 262 to switch between two working positions, and is configured as follows:

[0092] When in the first working position, the first connection port and the second connection port are communicated through the inner cavity of the first pilot valve bowl 263, and the third connection port is communicated with the first sleeve cavity;

[0093] When in the second working position, the first connection port is communicated with the first sleeve cavity, and the second connection port and the third connection port are communicated through the inner cavity of the first pilot valve bowl 263.

[0094] Among them, the first connection port (the connection port on the left side in the figure) is communicated with the second cavity Q2 of the main valve through the capillary e1, the second connection port (the connection port in the middle in the figure) is communicated with the S interface of the main valve through the capillary s1, the third connection port (the connection port on the right side in the figure) is communicated with the third cavity Q3 of the main valve through the capillary c1, and the first sleeve cavity is communicated with the D interface of the main valve through the capillary d1.

[0095] In a specific solution, the first driving part includes a first coil 264, a first static iron core 265, a first moving iron core 266, a first reset elastic member 267 and a first connecting frame 268; among them, the first reset elastic member 267 is arranged between the first static iron core 265 and the first moving iron core 266, the first connecting frame 268 connects the first moving iron core 266 and the first pilot valve bowl 263, and by energizing and de-energizing the first coil 264, combined with the first reset elastic member 267, the first moving iron core 266 is controlled to drive the first connecting frame 268 to act, so as to drive the first pilot valve bowl 263 to slide, thereby controlling the communication state between each interface, and further controlling the pressures of the second cavity Q2 and the third cavity Q3 of the main valve.

[0096] In the illustrated solution, when the first pilot valve component 206 is in the power-off state, it is in the first working position. At this time, the second cavity Q2 of the main valve is communicated with the S interface through the capillary e1, the first connection port, the second connection port and the capillary s1, the second cavity Q2 is in a low-pressure state, the third cavity Q3 of the main valve is communicated with the D interface through the capillary c1, the third connection port, the first sleeve cavity and the capillary d1, and the third cavity Q3 is in a high-pressure state.

[0097] When the first pilot valve component 206 is in the powered-on state, it is in the second working position. At this time, the second cavity Q2 of the main valve is communicated with the D interface through the capillary e1, the first connection port, the first sleeve cavity and the capillary d1, the second cavity Q2 is in a high-pressure state, the third cavity Q3 of the main valve is communicated with the S interface through the capillary c1, the third connection port, the second connection port and the capillary s1, and the third cavity Q3 is in a low-pressure state.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 9a andFigure 9b , Figure 9a and Figure 9b are respectively partial schematic views of the second pilot valve component of the electromagnetic switching valve in the energized state and the de-energized state in the specific embodiment.

[0099] In this embodiment, the second pilot valve component 207 includes a second driving part, a second pilot valve sleeve 271 having a second sleeve cavity, a second pilot valve seat 272, and a second pilot valve bowl 273; the second pilot valve seat 272 and the second pilot valve bowl 273 are located in the second sleeve cavity, and the second pilot valve seat 272 has a first interface and a second interface.

[0100] The second pilot valve bowl 273 is tightly pressed and fitted with the second pilot valve seat 272. Driven by the second driving part, the second pilot valve bowl 273 can slide along the second pilot valve seat 272 to switch between two states, and is configured to:

[0101] In the first state, the first interface and the second interface are communicated through the inner cavity of the second pilot valve bowl 273;

[0102] In the second state, the first interface is communicated with the second sleeve cavity, and the second interface is communicated with the inner cavity of the second pilot valve bowl 273.

[0103] Among them, the first interface (the interface on the left side in the figure) is communicated with the first cavity Q1 of the main valve through the capillary e2, the second interface (the interface on the right side in the figure) is communicated with the S interface of the main valve through the capillary s2, and the second sleeve cavity is communicated with the D interface of the main valve through the capillary d2.

[0104] In a specific solution, the second driving part includes a second coil 274, a second static iron core 275, a second moving iron core 276, a second reset elastic member 277, and a second connecting frame 278; among them, the second reset elastic member 277 is arranged between the second static iron core 275 and the second moving iron core 276, and the second connecting frame 278 connects the second moving iron core 276 and the second pilot valve bowl 273. In this way, by energizing and de-energizing the second coil 274, combined with the second reset elastic member 277, the second moving iron core 276 is controlled to drive the second connecting frame 278 to act, so as to drive the second pilot valve bowl 273 to slide, thereby controlling the communication state between the interfaces, and further controlling the pressure state in the first cavity Q1 of the main valve.

[0105] As Figure 9a shown, the second coil 274 of the second pilot valve component 207 (marked in Figure 5When powered on, the second moving iron core 276 is attracted to the second static iron core 275, driving the second valve guide bowl 273 to slide towards the second static iron core 275. The second reset elastic member 277 is compressed to store deformation energy. The inner cavity of the second valve guide bowl 273 communicates with the first interface and the second interface of the second valve seat. The second valve component 207 is in the first state. At this time, the first cavity Q1 of the main valve is communicated with the S interface through the first interface, the second interface, and the capillary s2. The first cavity Q1 is in a low-pressure state.

[0106] As Figure 9b shown, when the second coil 274 of the second valve component 207 is powered off, under the elastic force of the second reset elastic member 277, the second moving iron core 275 drives the second valve guide bowl 273 to slide away from the second static iron core 275. The first interface communicates with the first sleeve cavity, and the second interface communicates with the inner cavity of the second valve guide bowl 273. The second valve component 207 is in the second state. At this time, the first cavity Q1 of the main valve is communicated with the D interface through the first interface, the second sleeve cavity, and the capillary d2. The first cavity Q1 is in a high-pressure state.

[0107] The electromagnetic switching valve further includes a stop portion for restricting the sliding position of the sliding member 205. Specifically, under the pressure difference between the first cavity Q1 and the second cavity Q2, the sliding member 205 can switch between two positions. Combining with the pressure difference between the second cavity Q2 and the third cavity Q3, the slider 203 can be switched between the aforementioned three working positions.

[0108] As Figure 5 shown, when the first valve component 206 is powered off and the second valve component 207 is powered on, that is, the first cavity Q1 is in a low-pressure state, the second cavity Q2 is in a low-pressure state, and the third cavity Q3 is in a high-pressure state. In this way, the connecting rod assembly 204 drives the slider 203 to move towards the left (in the illustrated orientation), and also pushes the sliding member 205 to move towards the left until the sliding member 205 abuts against the corresponding side end wall of the valve body component and is in the first position. The connecting rod assembly 204 abuts against the sliding member 205, so that the slider 203 is in the aforementioned first working position. The E interface is communicated with the S interface through the inner cavity of the slider 203, and the C interface is communicated with the D interface through the main valve cavity Q4, that is, the working position of the electromagnetic switching valve in the first defrosting mode in the aforementioned refrigeration system.

[0109] As Figure 6As shown, both the first pilot valve component 206 and the second pilot valve component 207 are in the power-off state. That is to say, the first cavity Q1 is in a high-pressure state, the second cavity Q2 is in a low-pressure state, and the third cavity Q3 is in a high-pressure state. In this way, the sliding member 205 moves to the right under the pressure difference at both ends thereof to the second position where it abuts against the stop portion, and the link assembly 204 drives the slider 203 to move to the left until it abuts against the sliding member 205, so that the slider 203 is in the aforementioned second working position. The E port, S port, and C port are interconnected through the inner cavity of the slider 203, and the D port is not connected to the E port, S port, and C port. That is the working position of the electromagnetic switching valve in the refrigeration mode and the heating mode in the aforementioned refrigeration system.

[0110] As Figure 7 shown, the first pilot valve component 206 is in the power-on state, and the second pilot valve component 207 is in the power-off state. That is to say, the first cavity Q1 is in a high-pressure state, the second cavity Q2 is in a high-pressure state, and the third cavity Q3 is in a low-pressure state. At this time, the sliding member 205 remains in the second position where it abuts against the stop portion, and the link assembly 204 drives the slider 203 to move to the right until it abuts against the corresponding side end wall of the valve body component, so that the slider 203 is in the aforementioned third working position. The S port and the C port are connected through the inner cavity of the slider 203, and the E port is connected to the D port through the main valve cavity Q4. That is the working position of the electromagnetic switching valve in the second defrosting mode in the aforementioned refrigeration system.

[0111] It can be understood that in specific settings, the structures of the stop portion, the sliding member 205, and the link assembly 204 should be coordinated so that the three can cooperate to achieve the corresponding functions in the states of the aforementioned respective working positions.

[0112] In actual settings, since there is a frictional resistance between the link assembly 204 driving the slider 203 to slide and the sliding member 205 sliding and the valve body component, in order to ensure that the link assembly 204 and the sliding member 205 can move as described above under the action of the corresponding pressure difference, it is necessary to limit the parameters of the large-diameter cavity and the small-diameter cavity of the valve body component. The following is a detailed description. The parameters involved include: the radius R1 of the large-diameter cavity, the radius R2 of the small-diameter cavity, the minimum operating pressure difference ΔP during system operation, the frictional force F of the link assembly 204 f , and the frictional force F of the sliding member 205 f ’.

[0113] When the electromagnetic switching valve is in the second working position, both the first pilot valve component 206 and the second pilot valve component 207 are in the power-off state, the sliding member 205 is in the second position, and the link assembly 204 abuts against the sliding member 205; when switching from the second working position to the first working position, the first pilot valve component 206 does not act, the second pilot valve component 207 changes from power-off to power-on, and the pressure of the first cavity Q1 changes from high pressure to low pressure. It should satisfy πR2 2 ΔP > Ff +F f ' can ensure reliable commutation.

[0114] When the electromagnetic switching valve switches from the first working position to the second working position, the first pilot valve component 206 does not act, the second pilot valve component 207 changes from energized to de-energized, and the pressure in the first cavity Q1 changes from low pressure to high pressure. It should satisfy π(R1 2 -R2 2 )ΔP>F f +F f ' can ensure reliable commutation.

[0115] When the electromagnetic switching valve switches from the second working position to the third working position, the first pilot valve component 206 changes from de-energized to energized, the second pilot valve component 207 does not act, the pressure in the second cavity Q2 changes from low pressure to high pressure, and the pressure in the third cavity Q3 changes from high pressure to low pressure. It should satisfy πR2 2 ΔP>F f to ensure reliable commutation.

[0116] When the electromagnetic switching valve switches from the third working position to the second working position, the first pilot valve component 206 changes from energized to de-energized, the second pilot valve component 207 does not act, the pressure in the second cavity Q2 changes from high pressure to low pressure, and the pressure in the third cavity Q3 changes from low pressure to high pressure. It should satisfy πR2 2 ΔP>F f to ensure reliable commutation.

[0117] When the electromagnetic switching valve switches from the first working position to the third working position, the second pilot valve component 207 first changes from energized to de-energized, and the pressure in the first cavity Q1 changes from low pressure to high pressure. It should satisfy π(R1 2 -R2 2 )ΔP>F f +F f ', switch to the second working position, and then the first pilot valve component 206 changes from de-energized to energized. The pressure in the second cavity Q2 changes from low pressure to high pressure, and the pressure in the third cavity Q3 changes from high pressure to low pressure. It should satisfy πR2 2 ΔP>F f to ensure reliable commutation.

[0118] When the electromagnetic switching valve switches from the third working position to the first working position, the first pilot valve component 206 first changes from energized to de-energized, the pressure in the second cavity Q2 changes from high pressure to low pressure, and the pressure in the third cavity Q3 changes from low pressure to high pressure. It should satisfy πR2 2 ΔP>F f , switch to the second working position, and then the second pilot valve component 207 changes from de-energized to energized. The pressure in the first cavity Q1 changes from high pressure to low pressure. It should satisfy πR2 2 ΔP>F f +Ff 'Can commutate reliably only then.

[0119] As can be seen from the above, in order to ensure reliable commutation, the radius of the valve cavity where the isolation part 251 of the sliding part 205 is located must be greater than the radius of the valve cavity where the connecting rod assembly 204 is located. Therefore, when setting, the valve cavity of the valve body part is divided into the aforementioned large-diameter cavity and small-diameter cavity, and at the same time, it should also satisfy π(R1 2 -R2 2 )ΔP>F f +F f '.

[0120] It can be understood that the minimum operating pressure difference ΔP during system operation is determined according to the system requirements of actual applications, and the relevant frictional force is related to the materials of relevant components, and both can be determined according to actual applications.

[0121] In this embodiment, the valve body part of the main valve specifically includes a first valve body 211, a second valve body 212, a first end cover 213 and a second end cover 214. Among them, both the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 are in a cylindrical structure, the adjacent ends of the two are fixedly connected, and their inner cavities are communicated. The first end cover 213 plugs the opening of the first valve body 211, and the second end cover 214 plugs the opening of the second valve body 212. The aforementioned large-diameter cavity is formed in the first valve body 211, and the small-diameter cavity is formed in the second valve body 212, that is, the through diameter of the first valve body 211 is larger than that of the second valve body 212; it can be understood that after such setting, the first end cover 213 is one end wall of the aforementioned valve body part, and the second end cover 214 is the other end wall of the valve body part. Specifically, the first cavity Q1 is formed between the first end cover 213 and the sliding part 205, and the third cavity Q3 is formed between the second piston part 242 and the second end cover 214.

[0122] On the basis of the structure of the above valve body part, in this example, the aforementioned stop part for restricting the sliding part 205 is arranged at the connection between the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212.

[0123] The following specifically introduces several implementation methods for the fixed connection between the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 and several implementation methods for the stop part and the isolation part 251.

[0124] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 show partial schematic diagrams of the first embodiment of the matching structure of the valve body part and the sliding part. Among them, Figure 10 the sliding part is in the first position in Figure 11 the sliding part is in the second position in

[0125] Figure 10 and Figure 11In the shown solution, the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 are specifically fixedly connected through an adapter seat 215 with a through hole.

[0126] The adapter seat 215 includes a first stepped portion 2151 and a second stepped portion 2152; the first stepped portion 2151 has a first stepped surface facing the first valve body 211, and the first valve body 211 is fixedly sleeved outside the first stepped portion 2151 and abuts against the first stepped surface. Specifically, the two can be fixedly connected by welding; the second stepped portion 2152 has a second stepped surface facing the second valve body 212, and the second valve body 212 is fixedly sleeved outside the second stepped portion 2152 and abuts against the second stepped surface. Specifically, the two are also fixedly connected by welding. Additionally, in actual setting, the second valve body 212 can also be fixedly sleeved inside the second stepped portion 2152.

[0127] It can be understood that the first stepped portion 2151 has a certain length in the axial direction so that the first valve body 211 and the adapter seat 215 have a certain mating length, and the second stepped portion 2152 also has a certain length in the axial direction so that the second valve body 212 and the adapter seat 215 also have a certain mating length to ensure the stability and reliability of the fixation of the adapter seat 215 with the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212.

[0128] In this solution, the end surface of the first stepped portion 2151 facing the first end cover 213 forms the aforementioned stop portion. As Figure 11 shown, when the sliding member 205 is in the second position, it abuts against the end surface of the first stepped portion 2151; additionally, as Figure 10 shown, when the sliding member 205 is in the first position, it abuts against the first end cover 213.

[0129] It can be understood that in actual setting, the first valve body 211 can also be fixedly sleeved inside the first stepped portion 2151. At this time, the adapter seat 215 can be provided with a protruding portion extending towards the first end cover 213 to form a stop portion for restricting the sliding position of the sliding member 205.

[0130] In this solution, the isolation portion 251 of the sliding member 205 is specifically a piston bowl 2511, and the opening direction of the piston bowl 2511 faces the first end cover 213.

[0131] According to the working positions of the aforementioned electromagnetic switching valve, in actual application, under normal working conditions, the pressure in the first cavity Q1 is higher than that in the second cavity Q2 or is the same as that in the second cavity Q2. The piston bowl 2511 is of a one-way sealing structural form. Therefore, by providing a piston bowl 2511 and making its opening face the first cavity Q1, the sealing requirement can be met.

[0132] Please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , Figure 12 and Figure 13A partial schematic view of the second embodiment of the valve body component and the slider mating structure is shown, where Figure 12 the slider is in the first position, Figure 13 and the slider is in the second position.

[0133] Figure 12 and Figure 13 In the solution shown, the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 are directly connected. Among them, the first valve body 211 includes a body portion 2111 and a connecting portion 2112. The diameter of the connecting portion 2112 is smaller than that of the body portion 2111 and is used to connect with the first valve body 211. Specifically, the first valve body 211 is fixedly sleeved on the connecting portion 2112, and the two can be specifically fixed by welding.

[0134] At the same time, the connecting portion 2112 forms the stop portion that restricts the sliding position of the slider 205. As Figure 13 shown, when the slider 205 is in the second position, it abuts against the connecting portion 2112 to achieve position limitation.

[0135] In this solution, the isolation portion 251 of the slider 205 specifically includes an isolation block 2512 and a sealing ring 2513. The isolation between the isolation block 2512 and the first valve body 211 is achieved through the sealing ring 2513.

[0136] In practical applications, in the structure of the valve body component shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the isolation portion 251 can adopt the structure shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 . Similarly, in the structure of the valve body component shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the isolation portion 251 can also adopt the structure shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 .

[0137] Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 which show a partial schematic view of the third embodiment of the valve body component and the slider mating structure, where Figure 14 the slider is in the first position, Figure 15 and the slider is in the second position.

[0138] Figure 14 and Figure 15 In the solution shown, the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 are specifically fixedly connected through an adapter seat 215 with a through hole.

[0139] The adapter 215 includes a first stepped portion 2151 and a second stepped portion 2152, which are respectively sleeved and fixed to the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212. The structural form is similar to the foregoing Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown in the scheme, and will not be elaborated here.

[0140] The difference between the two is that in this scheme, the adapter 215 is further provided with an axially protruding portion 2153 extending into the first valve body 211. The axially protruding portion 2153 forms the stop portion that limits the sliding position of the sliding member 205, as Figure 15 shown. When the sliding member 205 is in the second position, it abuts against the axially protruding portion 2153 to achieve position limitation.

[0141] In this scheme, the isolation portion 251 of the sliding member 205 is specifically two piston bowls 2511 fixedly connected. The two piston bowls 2511 are arranged back to back. In this way, the isolation portion 251 can achieve two-way sealing and can ensure that relevant components are damaged during abnormal operation.

[0142] On this basis, in order to prevent the isolation portion 251 of the sliding member 205 from damaging the corresponding piston bowl 2511 when it abuts against the axially protruding portion 2153, the diameter of the axially protruding portion 2153 should be set smaller than the inner diameter of the piston bowl 2511.

[0143] In the above Figures 10 to 15 shown in the three embodiments, the sliding member 205 further includes a limiting portion 252 fixedly connected to the isolation portion 251. In the second position, the sliding member 205 specifically abuts against the stop portion through the isolation portion 251 to achieve position limitation. Combining Figure 5 and Figure 6 , when the link assembly 204 abuts against the sliding member 205, it specifically abuts directly against the limiting portion 252.

[0144] In the illustrated scheme, the isolation portion 251 and the limiting portion 252 are connected by a connecting rod 253. The limiting portion 252 is specifically located in the small-diameter cavity, and its diameter is adapted to the small-diameter cavity, but it has a through hole to communicate the chambers on both sides of it. As mentioned above, the second cavity Q2 is formed between the isolation portion 251 and the second piston member 242. Therefore, the setting of the limiting portion 252 should not separate this cavity.

[0145] Of course, in actual setting, if the limiting portion 252 is a solid structure, there should be a gap between its outer periphery and the valve cavity wall. The illustrated scheme can ensure the stability of the overall movement of the sliding member 205.

[0146] It can be understood that in actual setting, the sliding member 205 is not limited to the specific structure shown in the figure, as long as it can meet the requirements of separating to form the first cavity Q1 and the second cavity Q2, and limiting the sliding position of the link assembly 204.

[0147] In addition to the above - mentioned methods, during actual setting, the first valve body 211 and the second valve body 212 can also be integrally formed structures.

[0148] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 again. In order for the electromagnetic switching valve to have three working positions and ensure normal operation in each working position, the valve seat 202 and the slider 203 of its main valve need to have a reasonable structural cooperation.

[0149] Specifically, the E - port, S - port, and C - port of the valve seat 202 are arranged in sequence, that is, the S - port is located between the E - port and the C - port. Of course, during actual setting, the arrangement of the E - port, S - port, and C - port is not limited, as long as the following conditions can be met.

[0150] When the slider 203 is in the first working position, the slider 203 does not completely cover the C - port of the valve seat 202, and the C - port is not connected to the inner cavity 203a of the slider 203. The slider 203 completely covers the E - port and the S - port of the valve seat 202, and both the E - port and the S - port are connected to the inner cavity 203a of the slider 203. In this way, the E - port can be connected to the S - port through the inner cavity 203a of the slider 203, and the C - port can be connected to the D - port through the valve cavity.

[0151] That is, the inner cavity 203a of the slider 203 has a first projection on the plane where the upper surface of the valve seat 202 is located. This first projection covers at least part of the E - port, this first projection covers at least part of the S - port, but this first projection does not cover the C - port.

[0152] In this way, there are the following four situations for the cooperation between the slider 203 and the valve seat 202:

[0153] First, the first projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider 203 completely covers the E - port and the S - port, as shown in Figure 20a ;

[0154] Second, the first projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider 203 completely covers the E - port and partially covers the S - port, as shown in Figure 20b ;

[0155] Third, the first projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider 203 completely covers the S - port and partially covers the E - port, as shown in Figure 20c ;

[0156] Fourth, the first projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider 203 partially covers the E - port and also partially covers the S - port, as shown in Figure 20d . When the slider 203 is in the second working position, the slider 203 completely covers the E - port, S - port, and C - port of the valve seat 202, and the E - port, S - port, and C - port are all connected to the inner cavity 203a of the slider 203.

[0157] That is, the inner cavity 203a of the slider has a second projection on the plane where the upper surface of the valve seat 202 is located. This second projection completely covers the S interface, covers at least part of the E interface, and covers at least part of the C interface.

[0158] In this way, there are the following four cases for the cooperation between the slider 203 and the valve seat 202:

[0159] First, the second projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider completely covers the E interface and the C interface, as Figure 21a shown;

[0160] Second, the second projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider completely covers the C interface and partially covers the E interface, as Figure 21b shown;

[0161] Third, the second projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider completely covers the E interface and partially covers the C interface, as Figure 21c shown;

[0162] Fourth, the second projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider partially covers the E interface and also partially covers the C interface, as Figure 21d shown. The slider 203 is in the third working position. The slider 203 does not completely cover the E interface of the valve seat 202, and the E interface is not connected to the inner cavity 203a of the slider. The slider 203 completely covers the S interface and the C interface of the valve seat 202, and both the S interface and the C interface are connected to the inner cavity 203a of the slider. In this way, the E interface can be connected to the D interface through the valve cavity, and the S interface can be connected to the C interface through the inner cavity 203a of the slider.

[0163] That is, the inner cavity 203a of the slider has a third projection on the plane where the upper surface of the valve seat 202 is located. This third projection covers at least part of the S interface, covers at least part of the C interface, and does not cover the E interface.

[0164] In this way, there are the following four cases for the cooperation between the slider 203 and the valve seat 202:

[0165] First, the third projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider completely covers the S interface and the C interface, as Figure 22a shown;

[0166] Second, the third projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider completely covers the C interface and partially covers the S interface, as Figure 22b shown;

[0167] Third, the third projection (the hatched part in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider completely covers the S interface and partially covers the C interface, as Figure 22c shown;

[0168] Fourth, the third projection (the part with hatching in the figure) of the inner cavity 203a of the slider partially covers the S interface and also partially covers the C interface, as Figure 22d shown. Among them, in order to ensure that when the slider 203 is in the second working position, its inner cavity can communicate with the E interface, the S interface, and the C interface, the length of the slider 203 should be greater than the sum of the radius of the E interface, the distance between the E interface and the S interface, the distance between the S interface and the C interface, and the radius of the C interface.

[0169] Please refer to Figure 16a 、 Figure 16b and Figure 16c , Figure 16a 、 Figure 16b and Figure 16c which respectively show the schematic structural diagrams of the slider in the first working position, the second working position, and the third working position in the first embodiment of the cooperation structure between the valve seat and the slider.

[0170] As Figure 16b shown, the length L2 of the slider 203 satisfies:

[0171] L2>(D1) / 2 + L12 + L23 + (D3) / 2;

[0172] wherein, D1 is the diameter of the E interface, L12 is the distance between the E interface and the S interface, L23 is the distance between the S interface and the C interface, and D3 is the diameter of the C interface.

[0173] As Figure 16a shown, in this example, when the slider 203 is in the first working position, the E interface and the S interface are completely within the range of the inner cavity of the slider 203. That is, at this time, the distance between the first cavity side wall 231 and the second cavity side wall 232 of the inner cavity of the slider 203 is at least equal to the sum of the radius of the E interface, the distance between the E interface and the S interface, and the radius of the S interface. Such a setting can reduce the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the E interface and the S interface in this working position and reduce the pressure loss.

[0174] Furthermore, in the first working position, the area of the C interface covered by the slider 203 is not greater than half of the flow area of the C interface. Illustrated, that is, in the radial direction of the C interface, the length L02 of the C interface covered by the slider 203 is not greater than the radius (D3) / 2 of the C interface. In this way, it can also reduce the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the C interface in this working position and reduce the pressure loss.

[0175] As Figure 16cAs shown, in this example, when the slider 203 is in the third working position, the S interface and the C interface are completely within the range of the inner cavity of the slider 203. That is, at this time, the distance between the first cavity side wall 231 and the second cavity side wall 232 of the inner cavity of the slider 203 is at least equal to the sum of the radius of the S interface, the spacing between the S interface and the C interface, and the radius of the C interface. Such a setting can reduce the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the S interface and the C interface in this working position and reduce the pressure loss.

[0176] Further, in the third working position, the area of the E interface covered by the slider 203 is not greater than half of the flow area of the E interface. As shown in the figure, that is, in the radial direction of the E interface, the length L03 of the E interface covered by the slider 203 is not greater than (D1) / 2. In this way, it can also reduce the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the E interface in this working position and reduce the pressure loss.

[0177] Specifically, for the convenience of setting, the structure of the slider 203 is symmetrically arranged. At the same time, the E interface, the S interface, and the C interface have the same diameter, and the spacing between the E interface and the S interface is the same as the spacing between the S interface and the C interface, that is, D1 = D3, L12 = L23. It can be understood that after such a setting, L02 = L03.

[0178] As Figure 16b shown, in this example, when the slider 203 is in the second working position, the area of the C interface covered by the slider 203 is greater than half of the flow area of the C interface. As shown in the figure, that is, in the radial direction of the C interface, the length L01 of the C interface covered by the slider 203 is greater than (D3) / 2, and the area of the E interface covered by the slider 203 is also greater than half of the flow area of the E interface.

[0179] It can be understood that in other examples, in order to reduce the flow resistance of the refrigerant in the second working position, it can be set so that the area of the C interface covered by the slider 203 is at least not greater than half of the flow area of the C interface, and / or the area of the E interface covered by the slider 203 is at least not greater than half of the flow area of the E interface.

[0180] Please refer to Figure 17a 、 Figure 17b and Figure 17c , Figure 17a 、 Figure 17b and Figure 17c which respectively show the schematic structural diagrams of the slider in the first, second, and third working positions in the first embodiment of the valve seat and slider matching structure.

[0181] Similarly, in this example, the length L2 of the slider 203 satisfies:

[0182] L2>(D1) / 2 + L12 + L23 + (D3) / 2;

[0183] Among them, D1 is the diameter of the E interface, L12 is the distance between the E interface and the S interface, L23 is the distance between the S interface and the C interface, and D3 is the diameter of the C interface.

[0184] For convenience of setting, the structure of the slider 203 is also symmetrically set in this example, and D1 = D3, L12 = L23, and the diameter of the S interface is also set the same as that of the E interface and the C interface.

[0185] As Figure 17a shown, in this example, when the slider 203 is in the first working position, the E interface and the S interface are completely within the inner cavity range of the slider 203. With such a setting, the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the E interface and the S interface in this working position can be reduced, and the pressure loss can be lowered.

[0186] As Figure 17b shown, in this example, when the slider 203 is in the second working position, in the radial direction of the C interface, the length L01 of the slider 203 covering the C interface is less than the radius (D3) / 2 of the C interface, and the length of the slider 203 covering the E interface is also less than the radius of the E interface. With such a setting, the flow resistance of the refrigerant in the second working position can be reduced, and the pressure loss can be decreased.

[0187] As Figure 17c shown, in this example, when the slider 203 is in the third working position, the S interface and the C interface are completely within the inner cavity range of the slider 203. With such a setting, the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the S interface and the C interface in this working position can be reduced, and the pressure loss can be minimized.

[0188] In the illustrated solution, in the first working position, in the radial direction of the C interface, the length L02 of the slider 203 covering the C interface is greater than the radius of the C interface; in the third working position, in the radial direction of the E interface, the length L03 of the slider 203 covering the E interface is greater than the radius of the E interface.

[0189] It can be understood that in other examples, it can be further set that in the first working position, on the basis that the inner cavity of the slider 203 completely covers the E interface and the S interface, the area of the slider 203 covering the C interface is not greater than half of the flow area of the C interface, so as to reduce the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the C interface in this working position; at the same time, in the third working position, on the basis that the inner cavity of the slider 203 completely covers the S interface and the C interface, the area of the slider 203 covering the E interface is also not greater than half of the flow area of the E interface, so as to reduce the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the E interface in this working position.

[0190] Please refer to Figure 18a 、 Figure 18b and Figure 18c , Figure 18a 、 Figure 18b and Figure 18cSchematic diagrams of the slider in the first working position, the second working position, and the third working position in the first embodiment of the valve seat and slider mating structure are respectively shown.

[0191] Similarly, in this example, the length L2 of the slider 203 satisfies:

[0192] L2>(D1) / 2 + L12 + L23 + (D3) / 2;

[0193] where D1 is the diameter of the E interface, L12 is the distance between the E interface and the S interface, L23 is the distance between the S interface and the C interface, and D3 is the diameter of the C interface.

[0194] For convenience of setting, the structure of the slider 203 in this example is also symmetrically arranged, and D1 = D3, L12 = L23, and the diameter of the S interface is also set the same as that of the E interface and the C interface.

[0195] As Figure 18a shown, in this example, when the slider 203 is in the first working position, the E interface and the S interface are completely within the inner cavity range of the slider 203. With such a setting, the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the E interface and the S interface in this working position can be reduced, and the pressure loss can be lowered.

[0196] Meanwhile, in the radial direction of the C interface, the length L02 of the slider 203 covering the C interface is less than the radius (D3) / 2 of the C interface. In this way, the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the C interface in this working position can also be reduced, and the pressure loss can be lowered.

[0197] As Figure 18b shown, in this example, when the slider 203 is in the second working position, the E interface, the S interface, and the C interface are all completely within the inner cavity range of the slider 203. With such a setting, the flow resistance of the refrigerant is the smallest in the second working position.

[0198] On the basis of meeting this condition, in order to make the size of the slider 203 smaller so that the connecting component 204 can drive it to slide more easily, the distance L21 between the first cavity side wall 231 and the second cavity side wall 232 of the slider 203, that is, the length of the inner cavity of the slider 203 in the axial direction of the valve body component, is equal to (D1) / 2 + L12 + L23 + (D3) / 2.

[0199] As Figure 18c shown, in this example, when the slider 203 is in the third working position, the S interface and the C interface are completely within the inner cavity range of the slider 203. With such a setting, the flow resistance of the refrigerant when flowing through the S interface and the C interface in this working position can be reduced, and the pressure loss can be lowered.

[0200] Meanwhile, in the radial direction of the E interface, the length L03 of the slider 203 covering the E interface is less than half of the radius (D1) of the E interface. In this way, the flow resistance of the refrigerant flowing through the C interface at this working position can also be reduced, and the pressure loss can be decreased.

[0201] Furthermore, to reduce the size of the valve seat 202 and simplify the structure, on the basis of meeting the above conditions, as Figure 18a shown, when the slider 203 is in the first working position, the axial distance between the side wall of the valve seat 202 close to the E interface and the side wall 231 of the first cavity of the inner cavity of the slider 203 is greater than zero. As Figure 18c shown, when the slider 203 is in the third working position, the axial distance between the side wall of the valve seat 202 close to the C interface and the side wall 232 of the second cavity of the inner cavity of the slider 203 is greater than zero.

[0202] Please refer to Figure 19 , Figure 19 which is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the electromagnetic switching valve provided by the present invention.

[0203] Figure 19 The electromagnetic switching valve shown, compared with Figures 5 to 7 the electromagnetic switching valve shown, has basically the same working principle and main structure. The difference between the two is that in this embodiment, the installation position of the second pilot valve component 207 of the electromagnetic switching valve is different. Only this difference will be described in detail below, and other structures can be understood with reference to the foregoing description.

[0204] As Figure 19 shown, in this embodiment, a connection port communicating with the main valve cavity Q4 is opened on the second valve body 212. The second pilot valve sleeve 271 of the second pilot valve component 207 is fixedly connected to the second valve body 212, and the second sleeve cavity of the second pilot valve sleeve 271 is directly communicated with this connection port. Compared with Figures 5 - 7 this scheme, the second sleeve cavity is directly communicated with the main valve cavity Q4, and the capillary d2 can be omitted.

[0205] In addition, in this example, the first valve body 211 is arranged on the right side of the second valve body 212. Figures 5 to 7 In the example shown, the first valve body 211 is arranged on the left side of the second valve body 212. In practice, it can be set according to actual needs.

Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
