A slider 1 is movably arranged in the valve chamber. By moving the slider 1, the valve chamber can be connected to the first outlet pipe 3 or the second outlet pipe 4. During the switching process, when the slider 1 moves to the middle position, the first outlet pipe 3, the second outlet pipe 4, and the low-pressure pipe are connected to each other, resulting in a rapid pressure release in the valve chamber. The capillary tube connected to the inlet pipe 2 is insufficiently supplied with pressure, resulting in a decrease in the thrust on the left and right sides of the piston baffle. In severe cases, the slider 1 may stop in the middle and be unable to move further, causing the four-way valve to fail. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a valve core assembly comprising a guide frame 10 and a slider 20. The guide frame 10 is drivingly connected to the slider 20, driving the slider 20 within the valve cavity. The slider 20 has a cavity on one side and a sealing portion 30 on the other side. The sealing portion 30 is used to seal the inlet channel. The cavity is used to isolate a portion of the outlet channel, allowing fluid to flow out of a specific outlet channel.
[0027] Through the technical solution provided in this application, the slider 20 can use the sealing part 30 to block the inlet channel during the movement and reversing process, so that when the outlet channels are interconnected, the inlet channel can also provide sufficient fluid pressure to the capillary, thereby ensuring that the reversing valve piston pushes the guide frame 10 and the slider 20 to continue moving to the preset position, ensuring the normal reversing of the channel.
[0028] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the blocking portion 30 close to the inlet channel can be a planar structure, which has a simple structure and low processing and manufacturing cost.
[0029] Among them, such as Figure 5As shown, the surface of the blocking portion 30 close to the inlet channel can also be set to an arc structure. By setting the blocking portion 30 to an arc structure, the arc structure can be utilized to better fit with the end of the inlet channel to improve the blocking effect.
[0030] Specifically, the size of the blocking portion 30 can be larger than the size of the end of the inlet channel, or can be set to be equal to the size of the end of the inlet channel, or can be smaller than the size of the end of the inlet channel, as long as the blocking portion 30 can block and obstruct the fluid in the inlet channel when it moves to the end of the inlet channel, thereby ensuring the fluid pressure on the capillary connected to the inlet channel.
[0031] exist Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the structure shown, the blocking portion 30 and the slider 20 are integrally formed, which has a simple structure, is easy to process and install, and can improve installation efficiency.
[0032] Of course, the blocking portion 30 and the slider 20 can also be set as a separate structure. Figure 6 As shown, the blocking portion 30 has a top surface and a bottom surface that are arranged opposite to each other. The top surface of the blocking portion 30 is used to block the inlet channel. The top surface can be flat or curved. The bottom surface of the blocking portion 30 is curved and matches the upper surface of the slider 20. The bottom surface of the blocking portion 30 is connected to the slider 20. Specifically, the connection can be achieved by bonding, welding, or other connection methods. The above structure can simplify the device structure, facilitate the processing of the slider 20 and the blocking portion 30, improve processing efficiency, and reduce the processing cost of components.
[0033] In the present application, the guide frame 10 is provided with an avoidance hole, and the slider 20 is passed through the avoidance hole. Through the above structure, the slider 20 is passed through and fixed in the guide frame 10, one end of the slider 20 is located on one side of the guide frame 10, and the other end of the slider 20 is located on the other side of the guide frame 10, so that the guide frame 10 can drive the slider 20 to move horizontally.
[0034] Specifically, the slider 20 includes a main body 21 and a base plate 22. The main body 21 has a cavity, a sealing portion 30 is disposed at the top of the main body 21, and the base plate 22 is annularly disposed at the bottom of the main body 21. The base plate 22 cooperates with the avoidance hole to limit the relative position of the slider 20 and the guide frame 10. The base plate 22 is located on one side of the guide frame 10, and the sealing portion 30 is located on the other side of the guide frame 10. The provision of the base plate 22 improves the wear resistance of the side of the slider 20 with the cavity, and the base plate 22 can also be used to limit the vertical position of the guide frame 10 and the slider 20. The base plate 22 is positioned over one side of the exit passage. The guide frame 10 drives the slider 20 to translate, causing the base plate 22 to move above the exit passage.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment of the present application, a reversing valve is provided, comprising: a valve body 40 and a valve core assembly. The valve body 40 has an inlet channel 41, multiple outlet channels 42, and a chamber 44. The inlet channels 41 and the outlet channels 42 are both connected to the chamber 44. The valve core assembly is the valve core assembly provided in the above-mentioned embodiment, and is movably disposed within the chamber 44. The side of the slider 20 having the cavity is disposed toward the multiple outlet channels 42, and the side of the slider 20 having the blocking portion is disposed toward the inlet channel 41. The blocking portion 30 has a blocking position for blocking the inlet channel 41 and a conducting position for conducting the inlet channel 41.
[0036] The slider 20 has multiple communication positions within the chamber 44. When the slider 20 moves to one of the communication positions, the corresponding outlet channel 42 communicates with the chamber 44, while the other outlet channels 42 are isolated from the chamber 44 by the slider 20. As the slider 20 moves from one communication position to the next, the inlet channel 41 can be blocked by the blocking portion 30. This prevents the multiple outlet channels from communicating with each other during movement of the slider 20, which could result in insufficient pressure supplied by the inlet channel 41 to the capillary tube connected thereto.
[0037] Specifically in this embodiment, the valve body 40 has two outlet channels 42 and a low-pressure channel 43. The two outlet channels 42 and the low-pressure channel 43 are arranged side by side on one side of the valve body 40, and the inlet channel 41 is arranged on the other side of the valve body 40. The low-pressure channel 43 is located between the two outlet channels 42, and the inlet channel 41 is arranged corresponding to the low-pressure channel 43. The sealing portion 30 is located in the middle of the slider 20.
[0038] Among them, the cross-sectional size of the sealing portion 30 is greater than or equal to the size of the inlet channel 41, so that the inlet channel 41 is completely blocked by the sealing portion 30, so as to ensure that the inlet channel 41 can pass the fluid into the capillary when the sealing portion 30 blocks the inlet channel, and ensure that the pistons on both sides of the guide frame 10 are pushed to move by the fluid pressure, thereby enabling the slider 20 to move to the preset position.
[0039] In this embodiment, the slider 20 has a first communication position and a second communication position relative to each other. When the slider 20 moves between the first communication position and the second communication position, the blocking portion 30 can block the inlet channel 41. Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the guide frame 10 and the slider 20 are located on the left side of the chamber 44, the inlet channel 41 is connected to the outlet channel 42 on the right side, and the slider 20 is in the first connection position; when it is necessary to move the guide frame 10 and the slider 20 to the right, the upper pilot valve is controlled to allow the fluid in the capillary connected to the inlet channel 41 to flow into the left side of the chamber 44, so that the fluid can push the piston to move to the right. Figure 3 As shown, when the slider 20 moves to the middle position, the two outlet channels 42 and the low-pressure channel 43 are connected to each other. At this time, the pressure in the chamber 44 is relatively low. By providing a sealing portion 30 and using the sealing portion 30 to seal the inlet channel 41 when the slider 20 moves to the middle, the fluid in the inlet channel 41 can be prevented from leaking into the chamber 44. In this way, the fluid in the inlet channel 41 can all flow to the left side of the chamber 44, ensuring that the fluid has sufficient pressure to push the left piston to continue to move to the right, and then drive the guide frame 10 and the slider 20 to continue to move to the right, so that the cavity cover of the slider 20 is set in the low-pressure channel 43 and the right outlet channel 42, and the left outlet channel 42 is connected to the inlet channel 41. At this time, the slider 20 is in the second connecting position, and the valve body completes the switching operation.
[0040] The technical solution provided in this application has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture and process, which can avoid reversing failure of the valve body and ensure the normal operation of the valve body.
