[0037] In the description of this invention, the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, which includes not only the elements listed but also other elements not expressly listed.

[0038] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a switching valve is provided.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the switching valve includes a rotary drive assembly 100, an encoder disk 200, a sensing detection unit 300, and a switching valve body 400. In this switching valve:

[0040] The encoding disc 200 is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the rotary driving assembly 100, and the encoding disc 200 is engraved with absolute encodings 210 for indicating absolute positions and relative encodings 220 for indicating relative positions, the number of the absolute encodings 210 is the same as the number of the relative encodings 220, and the absolute encodings 210 and the relative encodings 220 correspond to each other one by one.

[0041] The sensing detection part 300 is arranged to be relatively movable with the encoding disc 200, and the sensing detection part 300 detects the absolute encodings 210 and the relative encodings 220 passing through the detection area thereof.

[0042] The switching valve body 400 is drivingly connected to the rotary driving assembly 100, the switching valve body 400 is provided with a first output channel 410 and a plurality of groups of first input channels 420, the number of the relative encodings 220 is an integer multiple of the number of the first input channels 420, a first input channel 420 corresponds to an absolute encoding 210 and a relative encoding 220, and when the switching valve body 400 is drivingly matched with the rotary driving assembly 100, the first output channel 410 indicated by the absolute position and the relative position can be correspondingly communicated with the first input channel 420.

[0043] In the above switching valve, the inside of the switching valve body 400 is provided with the first output channel 410 and a plurality of groups of the first input channels 420, the first output channel 410 can be communicated with one of the first input channels 420, and under the rotation of the rotary driving assembly 100, the communication relationship of the rotary driving assembly 100 can be twisted, so that the first output channel 410 is communicated with another first input channel 420. The encoding disc 200 is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the rotary driving assembly 100, and follows the rotary driving assembly 100 to rotate, and the absolute encodings 210 and the relative encodings 220 on the encoding disc 200 detected by the sensing detection part 300 are acquired, and then the rotation angle of the rotary driving assembly 100 is recorded.

[0044] As shown in Figure 3 The absolute encodings 210 and the relative encodings 220 engraved on the encoding disc 200 are circularly distributed with the center of the encoding disc 200 as the center, one absolute encoding 210 and one relative encoding 220 are arranged on the same diameter, different detection signals are obtained when the sensing detection part 300 detects each absolute encoding 210 and relative encoding 220, a first input channel 420 corresponds to an absolute encoding 210 and a relative encoding 220, when the sensing detection part 300 detects the absolute encoding 210 and the relative encoding 220 corresponding to the first input channel 420, the first input channel 420 is communicated with the first output channel 410. The absolute encodings 210 can be arranged inside the relative encodings 220, or the absolute encodings 210 can be arranged outside the relative encodings 220, which is not limited in the present application.

[0045] The rotation driving assembly 100 drives the switching valve body 400 to rotate, thereby controlling the on or off of the first input channel 420 and the first output channel 410. The rotation driving assembly 100 stops when the sensing detection part 300 detects the absolute encoding 210 and the relative encoding 220 on the same diameter. Specifically, when a first input channel 420 and a first output channel 410 need to be turned on, the rotation driving assembly 100 receives a control signal, rotates forward or reverses a certain angle according to the control signal, and then stops, so that the sensing detection part 300 detects the absolute encoding 210 and the relative encoding 220 corresponding to the first input channel 420. When all first input channels 420 and first output channels 410 need to be cut off, the rotation driving assembly 100 stops at a position between two absolute encodings 210 (or relative encodings 220) corresponding to the first input channel 420. If the number of absolute encodings 210 (or relative encodings 220) is greater than the number of first input channels 420, an absolute encoding 210 (or relative encoding 220) for indicating that all first input channels 420 are cut off can be arranged between the two absolute encodings 210 (or relative encodings 220) corresponding to the first input channel 420. When the sensing detection part 300 recognizes the absolute encoding 210 (or relative encoding 220) for indicating that all first input channels 420 are cut off, the switching valve body 400 cuts off all first input channels 420.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6 In an embodiment, the number of absolute encodings 210 is twice the number of first input channels 420, and the number of absolute encoding 210 detection sites of the sensing detection part 300 and the number of first input channels 420 satisfy the following relationship:

[0047] 2 n ≥2P;

[0048] Wherein, n represents the number of absolute encoding 210 detection sites, P represents the number of first input channels 420, and represents that the number of binary bits composed of the detection sites of the sensing detection part 300 is greater than or equal to the number of absolute encodings 210.

[0049] The absolute encoders 210 are distributed at intervals, and one absolute encoder 210 for cutting off all the first input channels 420 is arranged between two absolute encoders 210 corresponding to the first input channels 420. For example, the first absolute encoder 210 corresponds to the first input channel 420, the second absolute encoder 210 corresponds to cutting off all the first input channels 420, and the third absolute encoder 210 corresponds to the second input channel 420. When the first input channel needs to be turned on, the rotary driving assembly 100 is rotated to stop after the first absolute encoder reaches the detection area of the sensing detection part 300. When all the first input channels 420 need to be cut off, the rotary driving assembly 100 is rotated to stop after the second absolute encoder reaches the detection area of the sensing detection part 300. In this embodiment, binary counting is used to identify the absolute encoders 210. When the detection sites of the sensing detection part 300 detect the absolute encoders 210, the absolute encoders 210 block the detection light sources generated by some of the detection sites. Only the detection light sources emitted by the unblocked detection sites can be received. The number and position of the detection sites blocked by each absolute encoder 210 are different, thereby generating corresponding absolute encoder 210 detection signals and converting them into binary virtual signals for recording. For example, if all the detection sites except the first detection site are blocked by the absolute encoder 210, it can be converted into “1000”, which represents the eighth absolute encoder 210.

[0050] In an embodiment, the switching valve further comprises a processing module, and the code disc 200 is further engraved with a zero detection point 230 for indicating a zero position. The processing module is connected to the rotary driving assembly 100 and the sensing detection part 300, respectively. The processing module verifies whether the detected relative position and absolute position match each other according to the position of the zero detection point 230, the rotation direction of the rotary driving assembly 100, the relative position obtained by detecting the relative encoders 220, and the absolute position obtained by detecting the absolute encoders 210. The processing module receives the detection information of the sensing detection part 300 and the rotation state of the rotary driving assembly 100. When the zero detection point 230 passes through the sensing detection part 300, it indicates that the rotary driving assembly 100 has rotated one circle and the relative encoders 220 are corrected to zero. The processing module counts the rotation angle of the rotary driving assembly 100 according to the detection information of the sensing detection part 300, determines the absolute position corresponding to the current rotation angle by identifying the absolute encoders 210, and forms a verification signal by the number of times that the zero detection point 230 passes through the sensing detection part 300 and the detected relative encoders 220, to determine whether the currently determined absolute position is correct.

[0051] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the processing module receives the relative position obtained by the sensing detection unit 300 detecting the relative code 220 and the zero position obtained by the sensing detection unit 300 detecting the zero position detection point 230, and verifies whether the detected relative position reaches the accumulated threshold and the detected zero position matches each other. The processing module obtains the number of times the relative code 220 passes through the sensing detection unit 300 and the number of times the zero position detection point 230 passes through the sensing detection unit 300 from the sensing detection unit 300, clears the accumulation of the relative code 220 when the sensing detection unit 300 detects the zero position detection point 230, or controls the sensing detection unit 300 to detect the zero position detection point 230 again when the relative code 220 accumulates to the threshold and is cleared, so as to ensure that the accumulation of the relative code 220 and the detection timing of the zero position detection point match each other.

[0052] In some embodiments, the processing module also uses a fault-tolerant mechanism when verifying the absolute code 210 and the relative code 220, so as to determine whether the detection point of the sensing detection unit 300 is damaged and continue to identify and determine on the basis of determining that the detection point is damaged.

[0053] The processing module counts the relative code 220 for a plurality of times until the threshold is reached, and then determines that the zero position detection point 230 is damaged when the zero position detection point 230 passes through the sensing detection unit 300. The processing module determines the relative position by unilaterally obtaining the detection signal of the relative code 220 and counting, and maintains the mutual verification between the absolute code 210 and the relative code 220.

[0054] The sensing detection unit 300 simultaneously detects two adjacent absolute codes 210 and relative codes 220. When the detection point of any relative code 220 is damaged, the processing module can only obtain the detection signal of one detection point from the sensing detection unit 300. The processing module determines that the detection point that does not receive the detection signal is damaged, identifies the relative code 220 through the remaining detection points of the relative code 220, and maintains the detection of the relative code 220.

[0055] If any detection point of the absolute code 210 is damaged, the processing module determines that the binary detection information obtained by the detection point is incorrect according to the information represented by the absolute code 210. The current obtained binary detection information is the same as the binary detection information obtained on the previous side. The processing module infers the absolute code 210 currently entering the sensing detection unit 300 according to the information reflected by the relative code 220, and determines that there is a damaged detection point after the encoding disc 200 rotates one circle.

[0056] The specific structure of the switching valve body 400 will be described below.
