[0033] The following will describe in detail the implementation manners of the present application in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, so as to fully understand how the present application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve the implementation process of technical effects and implement accordingly.

[0034] As Figures 1 - 13As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a pneumatic three-position multi-way valve, which includes a valve assembly 10 and a pneumatic actuator 20. The valve assembly 10 includes a valve body assembly 101 and a spool assembly 102 disposed within the valve body assembly 101. The valve body assembly 101 includes a valve body 1011 and a box body disposed around the valve body 1011. The box body includes a side box body 1012, a bottom box body 1014, and a top box body 1013. Pipe heads 1015 are provided on the side box body 1012, the bottom box body 1014, and the top box body 1013 for the inlet and outlet of the medium. The spool assembly 102 includes a long spool body 1021 and a short spool body 1022. The long spool body 1021 and the short spool body 1022 rotate synchronously, and a plurality of openings are provided on their respective surfaces for adapting to the pipe heads 1015. A communication hole 10111 is correspondingly provided on the valve body 1011. The pneumatic actuator 20 is used to drive the spool assembly 102 to rotate. When the spool assembly 102 rotates, the cooperation between the pipe heads 1015, the openings, and the communication hole 10111 realizes the inlet and outlet of the medium through different paths.

[0035] In this embodiment, the pneumatic actuator 20 includes a cylinder block 201 and end covers disposed at both ends of the cylinder block 201. The end covers include a first end cover 202 and a second end cover 203. A first air inlet hole 40 is provided on the first end cover 202, a second air inlet hole 50 is provided on the second end cover 203, and a third air inlet hole 60 is provided on the cylinder block 201. A first piston 204 is disposed inside the first end cover 202, and a second piston 205 is disposed inside the second end cover 203. A third piston 206 is connected to the first piston 204. A rack 208 is disposed between the second piston 205 and the third piston 206. The rack 208 is cooperatively provided with a gear 209. The gear 209 is disposed on a corresponding gear shaft 2010.

[0036] The cross-sectional areas of the second piston and the third piston are the same, and the cross-sectional area of the first piston is larger than the cross-sectional areas of the second piston and the third piston. The first piston 204 and the third piston 206 are fixedly connected. The gear shaft 2010 is connected to the spool assembly 102 and drives the spool assembly 102 to rotate. When the first air inlet hole 40 admits air, it is used to drive the first piston 204 to move. When the second air inlet hole 50 admits air, it drives the second piston 205 to move. When the third air inlet hole 60 admits air, it is used to drive the third piston 206 to move. The cooperation of the first piston 204, the second piston 205, and the third piston 206 realizes the change of the rotation angle of the gear shaft 2010, that is, by changing the cylinder block, the cylinder part 2011 provided with the second piston, and the length of the ejector rod 207, the total stroke angle and the intermediate hovering angle are changed. The ejector rod 207 is disposed on the second piston and faces the third piston. Its specific performance is as follows:

[0037] When the first air inlet hole 40 admits air, the second air inlet hole 50 and the third air inlet hole 60 do not admit air, and the first piston 204 moves in the direction of the third piston 206, thereby causing the gear shaft 2010 to rotate by a first angle, and the maximum of the first angle is 180°; when the third air inlet hole 60 admits air, the first air inlet hole 40 and the second air inlet hole 50 do not admit air, then the gear shaft 2010 rotates by a second angle, and the maximum of the second angle is 180°; when the first air inlet hole 40, the second air inlet hole 50 and the third air inlet hole 60 admit air simultaneously, the second piston 205 moves towards the third piston 206, and a limiting rod is provided on the third piston 206 to limit the movement range of the third piston 206, and the size of the movement range is related to the length of the limiting rod. Therefore, simultaneous air intake in cooperation with the length of the limiting rod can fix the gear shaft 2010 at a certain rotation angle within the range of 0 - 180°. According to the air intake states of different air inlet holes, the intermediate position hovering function of the pneumatic actuator 20 is realized. This intermediate position does not simply refer to the 90° position, but should be understood as any position within the range of 0 - 180°.

[0038] In addition, during the rotation of the linkage shaft 302, wear of the shaft will occur, resulting in a decrease in the sealing effect of the linkage shaft 302 and a decrease in concentricity. Therefore, the following method is adopted:

[0039] A linkage shaft connected to the gear shaft is arranged inside the flange.

[0040] Based on the above situation, in this embodiment, the valve assembly 10 and the pneumatic actuator 20 are connected through a flange 30. The flange 30 includes an outer housing 301 and a linkage shaft 302 connected to the gear shaft 2010. A bearing gland and a compensation sealing assembly are arranged on the linkage shaft to combine the positioning function and the compensation sealing function of the gland; specifically, the linkage shaft 302 is sequentially provided with a pressure bearing cover 303, a compensation spring 304, a packing support ring 305, a packing sealing ring 306, and a packing gland 307 from one side of the gear shaft 2010 to one side of the valve assembly 10. The compensation spring 304, the packing support ring 305, the packing sealing ring 306, and the packing gland 307 constitute the compensation sealing assembly; wherein a plurality of the packing sealing rings 306 are provided and are of a V-shaped structure. The pressure bearing cover 303, the compensation spring 304, the packing support ring 305, the packing sealing ring 306, and the packing gland 307 are used in combination to achieve the compensation sealing during the rotation of the linkage shaft 302 and to ensure that the linkage shaft 302 does not become eccentric during rotation. The compensation spring 304 is a wave spring, but other types of springs can also be used.

[0041] In this embodiment, the openings provided on the long valve core body 1021 include a first type of opening 1026 and a second type of opening 1023. The second type of opening 1023 includes an airtight opening 10231 provided with an airtight plug 1024 and a ventilation opening 10232 provided with a ventilation plug 1025. A relief step 70 is formed at the airtight opening 10231. A medium port 80 for the medium to pass through is provided on the airtight plug 1024 on the long valve core body 1021. The medium flows from the medium port 80 into the relief step 70, and the medium acts on the airtight plug 1024 to cause it to shift towards the valve body 1011 side to achieve pressure seal compensation.

[0042] Similarly, the second type of opening 1023 is provided on the short valve core body 1022. The second type of opening 1023 includes an airtight opening 10231 provided with an airtight plug 1024 and a ventilation opening 10232 provided with a ventilation plug 1025. A relief step 70 is provided at the airtight opening 10231. An inlet 90 communicating with the relief step 70 is opened on the short valve core body 1022. When the medium enters the relief step 70 from the inlet 90, the medium acts on the airtight plug 1024 in the short valve core body 1022 to cause it to shift towards the valve body 1011 side to achieve pressure seal compensation. It is worth mentioning that a ventilation plug 1025 of the same size is provided opposite to each airtight plug 1024 to achieve symmetric centering, so that the loads of the long valve core body 1021 and the short valve core body 1022 are in a balanced state.

[0043] In addition, when the linkage shaft 302, the gear shaft 2010, and the long valve core body 1021 are installed, in the prior art, a round shaft is generally used to connect the three. However, when using a round shaft structure, the assembly accuracy requirements are too high, and misassembly often occurs during assembly. Based on the above situation, the following technical solution is provided in this embodiment:

[0044] Both ends of the linkage shaft 302 respectively form a first connection portion 3021 connected to the gear shaft 2010 and a second connection portion 3022 connected to the long valve core body 1021. The first connection portion 3021 and the second connection portion 3022 are in a square shaft structure. Anti-fooling holes 100 are opened on the first connection portion 3021 and the second connection portion 3022. Anti-fooling fasteners 110 are provided in the anti-fooling holes 100. By using a square shaft structure and providing anti-fooling holes 100 in cooperation with anti-fooling fasteners 110, the situation of misassembly can be avoided. In this embodiment, the anti-fooling fastener 110 is a bolt.

[0045] In addition, misinstallation may also occur during the installation of the long valve core body 1021 and the short valve core body 1022. Therefore, the following solution is adopted: a shaft groove 120 is formed on one side of the long valve core body 1021 facing the short valve core body 1022, and a connecting shaft 130 is formed on one side of the short valve core body 1022 facing the long valve core body 1021. The connecting shaft 130 has a square shaft structure, and an anti-fooling hole 100 is provided thereon. An anti-fooling fastener 110 is arranged in the anti-fooling hole 100. Similarly, the use of a square shaft structure and the arrangement of the anti-fooling hole 100 in cooperation with the anti-fooling fastener 110 can avoid misinstallation. In this embodiment, the anti-fooling fastener 110 is a bolt.

[0046] In addition, a concentric positioning step is provided between the actuator assembly and the valve assembly to ensure the concentric transmission of the actuator gear shaft and the linkage shaft. Therefore, a positioning copper sleeve is provided on the gear shaft 2010. The positioning copper sleeve includes an upper positioning copper sleeve 140 and a lower positioning copper sleeve 150. A step portion 220 is formed on the gear shaft 2010 at the lower end of the upper positioning copper sleeve. The cooperation of the upper and lower positioning copper sleeves 150 and the step portion 220 can ensure that the gear shaft 2010 has a good centering effect.

[0047] In addition, when the end cover of the pneumatic actuator 20 is connected to the cylinder block 201, the existing technical means are all connected by bolts. However, the anti-vibration performance of bolt connection is relatively poor: the connection strength and stability of bolt connection are limited to a certain extent, and it may be prone to loosening in applications with large vibrations, affecting the operation stability and service life of the equipment.

[0048] Based on the above situation, in this embodiment, a snap ring 170 is used to connect the end cover and the cover body. The specific means are as follows:

[0049] In this embodiment, snap ring openings 160 are formed at both ends of the cylinder block 201, and snap ring grooves 180 are formed on the first end cover 202 and the second end cover 203. The snap ring grooves 180 are used to place the snap ring 170 connecting the cylinder block 201 and the first end cover 202 and the second end cover 203. A pin hole 190 is formed in the snap ring groove 180, and a limit pin 200 is formed in the pin hole 190. A limit groove 210 is formed on the snap ring 170 to cooperate with the limit pin 200. When the snap ring 170 is inserted from the snap ring opening 160, the first end cover 202 or the second end cover 203 is rotated, and the snap ring 170 is deformed and inserted into the snap ring groove 180 along the snap ring groove 180, and the limit groove 210 cooperates with the limit pin 200 to fix the snap ring 170.

[0050] In the present invention, by combining a pneumatic actuator 20 and a valve assembly 10, a valve body 1011 of the valve assembly 10 and a box body arranged around the valve body 1011 are provided. The box body includes a side box body 1012, a bottom box body 1014 and a top box body 1013. Pipe heads 1015 are arranged on the side box body 1012, the bottom box body 1014 and the top box body 1013 for the inlet and outlet of the medium. A valve core assembly 102 includes a long valve core body 1021 and a short valve core body 1022. The long valve core body 1021 and the short valve core body 1022 rotate synchronously, and a plurality of openings are arranged on their respective surfaces for adapting to the pipe heads 1015. A communication hole 10111 is correspondingly arranged on the valve body 1011. When the pneumatic actuator 20 is used to drive the valve core assembly 102 to rotate, when the valve core assembly 102 rotates, the cooperation between the pipe heads 1015, the openings and the communication hole 10111 realizes the inlet and outlet of the medium through different paths, and the multi-path inlet and outlet of the medium effectively ensures the use of multiple pipelines, thereby reducing the use demand of a single pipeline. Through pressure compensation and auxiliary sealing, the service life of the pneumatic three-position multi-way valve is greatly increased; moreover, the switching of pipelines is realized by the pneumatic actuator 20, and the angle range can be accurately adjusted. Secondly, the intermediate position hovering function is realized by pistons of different sizes.
