[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a slider, comprising:

[0032] The lining body 10 includes a base 11 and a matrix 12. The matrix 12 is arranged around the outer periphery of the base 11. Both ends of the matrix 12 respectively have a first injection hole 121 and a second injection hole 122 passing through.

[0033] An injection molded shell 20, the injection molded shell 20 covers the base 11 and the substrate 12 by injection molding, and the injection molded shell 20 includes an injection molded body 21, a first annular injection molded part 22, and a second annular injection molded part 23. The inner wall of the injection molded body 21 is bonded to the outer wall of the base 11 and the top surface of the substrate 12, the outer wall of the substrate 12 is bonded to the first annular injection molded part 22, and the bottom surface of the substrate 12 is bonded to the inner wall of the second annular injection molded part 23;

[0034] Among them, the area of ​​the first injection hole 121 is S1, the area of ​​the second injection hole 122 is S2, the lining body 10 has an inner section 40 and an outer section 50, the inner section 40 and the outer section 50 extend along the width direction of the substrate 12 and are perpendicular to the bottom surface of the substrate 12, the inner section 40 is tangent to the inner wall of the substrate 12, and the outer section 50 is tangent to the outer wall of the substrate 12, the volume of the first annular injection molding 22 located on one side of the outer section 50 is V1, the volume of the second annular injection molding 23 located on the other side of the outer section 50 and between the bottom surface of the substrate 12 and the inner section 40 is V2, the area enclosed by the top and side surfaces of the first annular injection molding 22 and the top surface of the substrate 12 on the outer section 50 is S3, S1≥(V2 / V1)S3, S2≥(V2 / V1)S3.

[0035] By adopting this scheme, the ratio of the area S1 of the first injection hole and the area S2 of the second injection hole to the top and side surfaces of the first annular injection molded part 22 and the cross-sectional area S3 formed by the top surface of the substrate 12 on the outer section is limited within the above-mentioned volume ratio range. In this way, during the injection molding process, after the injection molding fluid flows through the area S1 of the first injection molding hole, the area S2 of the second injection molding hole and the cross-sectional area S3, the temperature of the injection molding fluid at the confluence is roughly the same, making it difficult to generate cracks. In addition, the confluence of the injection molding fluid is not near the first injection molding hole and the second injection molding hole, but close to the outer edge of the substrate. In this way, even if cracks are generated, the cracks will not extend to the inner cavity of the slider, thereby avoiding leakage. By using this scheme, the problem of the slider in the prior art being prone to cracks after injection molding is effectively solved.

[0036] It should be noted that the first injection hole 121 and the second injection hole 122 are arranged along the length direction of the base 12 and are respectively located at two ends of the base 11 .

[0037] During the injection molding process, the relationship between the injection volume, flow rate, flow area and flow time is: the injection volume is equal to the product of the flow rate, flow area and flow time.

[0038] Among them, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the top surface and side surfaces of the first annular injection molded part 22 and the top surface of the base 12 enclose a cross-sectional area S3 on the external section, S3 = B*h, wherein B is the width of the slider on the external section 50; h is the height of the top surface of the first annular injection molded part 22 from the top surface of the base 12.

[0039] Specifically, S1≥0.7S3, S2≥0.7S3. This arrangement increases the area of ​​the first injection hole 121 and the area of ​​the second injection hole 122 through which the injection fluid flows, ensuring that the confluence of the injection fluid is not near the first injection hole and the second injection hole, but near the outer edge of the substrate, so that even if cracks occur, the cracks will not extend to the inner cavity of the slider, thereby avoiding leakage.

[0040] Furthermore, preferably, S1≥0.9S3, S2≥0.9S3. Such an arrangement can further ensure that the confluence of the injection fluid is not near the first injection hole and the second injection hole, but near the outer edge of the substrate, so that even if cracks occur, the cracks will not extend to the inner cavity of the slider, thereby avoiding leakage.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first injection hole 121 and the second injection hole 122 each include at least one flow hole. In this solution, the first injection hole 121 may include one flow hole, two flow holes, or multiple flow holes, and the multiple flow holes are arranged on the base 12 at intervals; similarly, the second injection hole 122 may also include one flow hole, two flow holes, or multiple flow holes, and the first injection hole 121 and the second injection hole 122 may be manufactured according to actual needs.

[0042] The shape of the circulation hole is a waist-shaped hole, a round hole, a square hole, or a polygonal hole. In this way, the shape of the circulation hole can be designed into a waist-shaped hole, a round hole, a square hole, or a polygonal hole according to actual needs, wherein the shape of the circulation hole can also be a special-shaped hole (irregular hole). In this solution, if Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the flow hole is a waist-shaped hole, which better fits the shape of the substrate 12.

[0043] Specifically, the base 12 has a plurality of injection grooves 126, and the plurality of injection grooves 126 are spaced apart along the outer periphery of the base 12. The plurality of injection grooves 126 are spaced apart along the outer periphery of the base 12, so that during the injection molding process, they can play a limiting role, so that the injection fluid can better cover the liner body 10, thereby improving the injection molding effect.

[0044] In this embodiment, the base 12 includes an annular plate 123, a first plate 124 and a second plate 125. The annular plate 123 is connected to the outer periphery of the base 11. The first plate 124 and the second plate 125 are respectively arranged at both ends of the annular plate 123. The first plate 124 has a first injection hole 121, and the second plate 125 has a second injection hole 122. The annular plate 123 is provided to match the shape of the base 11 and facilitate connection with the outer periphery of the base 11; the first plate 124 is provided to facilitate the provision of the first injection hole 121; the second plate 125 is provided to facilitate the provision of the second injection hole 122.

[0045] Specifically, the area between the bottom surface of the injection molding body 21, the inner wall of the first annular injection molding part 22 and the top surface of the second annular injection molding part 23 forms a clamping cavity, and the base 12 is embedded in the clamping cavity. The base 12 can be limited by the formed clamping cavity.

[0046] In this embodiment, the base 11 and the base 12 are an integrated structure, and the base 11 and the base 12 are both made of metal or alloy. The base 11 and the base 12 are set as an integrated structure, which is convenient for processing and reduces production costs; in this solution, the base 11 and the base 12 are both made of stainless steel, so that during the injection molding process, since the melting point of stainless steel is higher than the temperature of the injection molding fluid, the base 11 and the base 12 will not melt during the injection molding process.

[0047] The slider further includes a support pin 30, which is disposed in the cavity of the base 11, and the two ends of the support pin 30 are respectively connected to the two opposite inner walls of the base 11. The two ends of the support pin 30 are respectively connected to the two opposite inner walls of the base 11, so that the base 11 will not be deformed during the injection molding process, and can also play a positioning role.

[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention provides a slider. In this embodiment, there are two flow holes, which are waist-shaped holes.

[0049] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a four-way valve, which includes the above-mentioned slider. With this solution, the ratio of the area S1 of the first injection hole, the area S2 of the second injection hole, the top surface and the side surface of the first annular injection molded part, and the cross-sectional area S3 formed by the top surface of the substrate on the outer section is limited to the range of the above-mentioned volume ratio, so that during the injection molding process, after the injection molding fluid flows through the area S1 of the first injection molding hole, the area S2 of the second injection molding hole, and the cross-sectional area S3, the temperature of the injection molding fluid at the confluence is roughly the same, making it difficult to generate cracks, and the confluence of the above-mentioned injection molding fluid is not near the first injection molding hole and the second injection molding hole, but close to the outer edge of the substrate, so that even if cracks are generated, the cracks will not extend to the inner cavity of the slider, thereby avoiding leakage. With this solution, the service life of the four-way valve can be improved.
