[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be apparently and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0044] The embodiment of the present application discloses a rotary switching valve.
[0045] Embodiment 1: refer to Figures 1-8For the first embodiment of the present application, a rotary switching valve is provided, which comprises a valve body 1, a valve rod 3, and three ports 2, two of which are coaxial, and the other port 2 is located between the other two ports 2 and perpendicular to the axial direction of the other two ports 2. The valve body 1 is hollow inside and has two sealing end covers at both ends. The valve rod 3 is rotatably connected to the two sealing end covers and can rotate freely. The other sealing end cover can be provided with a damping state to make the resistance of the valve rod 3 rotation larger, preventing the valve rod 3 from rotating by itself. The valve rod 3 penetrates the valve body 1 and is coaxially fixed with a valve ball 6. The valve ball 6 is located between the three ports 2, and the surface of the valve ball 6 is provided with two flow channels that do not penetrate the valve ball 6. The axial directions of the two flow channels are orthogonal, and the openings of the two flow channels correspond to the two ports 2, respectively. Two valve seats 5 are installed in the valve body 1, and the two valve seats 5 are located on the opposite sides of the valve body 1 and are located on the opposite sides of the valve ball 6 in the radial direction. The valve seat 5 is coaxially fitted in the valve body 1 and can rotate freely in the valve body 1. The opposite ends of the two valve seats 5 are provided with sealing grooves that match the contour of the valve ball 6, i.e., the sealing grooves are coaxially fitted with the contour of the valve ball 6. When the sealing grooves are fitted with the valve ball 6, the abutting surface of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 has a sealing effect.
[0046] The valve rod 3 is slidably sleeved with a sliding ring 8, which is keyed to the valve rod 3. An extrusion spring 11 is provided between the sliding ring 8 and the valve seat 5. The elastic force direction of the extrusion spring 11 is elastically abutted against the sliding ring 8 and the valve seat 5, respectively. The extrusion spring 11 has an elastic abutting force on the valve seat 5, which makes the extrusion spring 11 have a large extrusion force on the valve seat 5, so that the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 are tightly fitted. The two sealing end covers in the valve body 1 are each screw-connected with a fixed seat 4. The fixed seat 4 is connected with a cylindrical portion 17 at the end face. The cylindrical portion 17 is rotatably embedded with a ball 16 at the end away from the fixed seat 4. The end face of the sliding ring 8 is provided with a plurality of rolling grooves 18 for the ball 16. Specifically, the included angle between the two adjacent rolling grooves 18 and the sliding ring 8 is 45°. The plurality of rolling grooves 18 are arranged along the axial direction of the sliding ring 8. When the valve rod 3 rotates, the ball 16 at the end of the cylindrical portion 17 first rolls on the end face of the sliding ring 8 and then rolls into the rolling groove 18, so that the extrusion force of the extrusion spring 11 on the valve seat 5 is reduced, and the abutting force of the valve seat 5 on the valve ball 6 is also reduced, thereby reducing the mechanical wear of the abutting surface of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 when the valve ball 6 rotates. As the valve rod 3 continues to rotate, the ball 16 will roll from the rolling groove 18 to the end face of the sliding ring 8, and the compression degree of the sliding ring 8 on the extrusion spring 11 will increase, so that the extrusion force of the extrusion spring 11 on the valve seat 5 will increase, and the abutting degree of the valve seat 5 on the valve ball 6 will also increase, so that the mechanical sealing degree of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 is better.
[0047] The fixed seat 4 is fixedly connected with a mounting seat 9 in the end face. The mounting seat 9 is hollow and slidably connected with a sliding block 19. The cylindrical part 17 is fixedly connected with the sliding block 19 at the end away from the sliding ring 8 and slides out of the mounting seat 9. The other end of the sliding block 19 is fixedly connected with a short column 20. The short column 20 is used to make the sliding block 19 and the surface of the fixed seat 4 have a gap 7. The valve rod 3 is provided with a fluid hole 15 penetrating the flow channel. The valve rod 3 and the surface of the mounting seat 9 are provided with a hose 12, so that the fluid hole 15 and the gap 7 are communicated. When the fluid medium in the valve body 1 has a large pressure, the pressure of the fluid medium enters the hose 12 from the fluid hole 15 and then enters the gap 7 from the hose 12. The fluid medium generates a thrust to the sliding block 19 in the direction away from the fixed seat 4, so that the sliding block 19 moves towards the sliding ring 8. The sliding ring 8 is further pressed by the ball 16, so that the sliding ring 8 moves towards the valve ball 6 with an increased stroke. Therefore, the mechanical sealing degree of the valve ball 6 and the valve seat 5 is improved, so that the valve ball 6 and the valve seat 5 do not leak due to the large pressure of the fluid medium in the valve body 1. The valve seat 5 is provided with a storage cavity for storing sealing grease. The valve seat 5 is provided with a capillary hole 14 penetrating the sealing groove and the storage cavity. The storage cavity is coaxially and slidably connected with an annular part 10. Further, the annular part 10 is fixedly sleeved with a sealing ring (not shown in the figure) at the periphery. The annular part 10 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 13 at the end face. The connecting rod 13 slides out of the valve seat 5 and is fixedly connected with the end face of the sliding ring 8.
[0048] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:
[0049] When the valve body 1 is opened or closed, the valve rod 3 is rotated by the worker. When the valve rod 3 rotates, the sliding ring 8 is rotated. Since the fixed seat 4 is fixedly installed on the valve body 1, the sliding ring 8 moves relative to the ball 16. The rotation of the valve rod 3 makes the ball 16 at the end of the cylindrical part 17 first roll on the end face of the sliding ring 8 and then roll into the rolling groove 18. The compression of the compression spring 11 on the valve seat 5 is reduced, so that the pressing force of the valve seat 5 on the valve ball 6 is reduced. Therefore, the mechanical wear of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 is reduced when the valve ball 6 rotates. With the continuous rotation of the valve rod 3, the ball 16 rolls from the rolling groove 18 to the end face of the sliding ring 8. The compression degree of the sliding ring 8 on the compression spring 11 is increased, so that the compression of the compression spring 11 on the valve seat 5 is increased. Therefore, the pressing degree of the valve seat 5 on the valve ball 6 is increased, so that the mechanical sealing degree of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 is better.
[0050] When the sliding ring 8 moves towards the valve ball 6, the sliding ring 8 will drive the connecting rod 13 to move, the connecting rod 13 will push the annular part 10 to slide in the storage cavity, and the annular part 10 will extrude the sealing grease in the storage cavity to the capillary hole 14, and then to the abutting surface of the valve ball 6, on the one hand, when the extrusion force of the valve seat 5 to the valve ball 6 increases, and the valve stem 3 is in a rotating state, the abutting surface of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 can be lubricated to a certain extent, reducing the wear of the surfaces of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6, on the other hand, when the valve stem 3 is rotated to the position, and the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 are tightly abutted, the sealing grease can fill the abutting surface of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6, and then the gap of the abutting surface of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 can be filled, so that the sealing effect of the abutting surface of the valve seat 5 and the valve ball 6 is improved;
[0051] In addition, when the fluid medium pressure in the valve body 1 is large, the pressure of the fluid medium will enter the soft tube 12 from the fluid hole 15, and then enter the gap 7 from the soft tube 12, the fluid medium will generate a pushing force to the sliding block 19 in the direction away from the fixed seat 4, so that the sliding block 19 moves in the direction of the sliding ring 8, and then the extrusion force of the ball 16 to the sliding ring 8 increases, so that the stroke of the sliding ring 8 moving in the direction of the valve ball 6 increases, and then the mechanical sealing degree of the valve ball 6 and the valve seat 5 can be improved, so as to prevent the leakage of the abutting surface of the valve ball 6 and the valve seat 5 due to the excessive pressure of the fluid medium in the valve body 1.
[0052] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, not to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, which should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
