[0018] The application will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following examples will help those skilled in the art to further understand the application, but do not limit the application in any form. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the application, a number of changes and improvements can be made. These are within the scope of the application.
[0019] The application provides a double-seat double-eccentric three-way rotary valve, which adopts a double-eccentric sealing structure, ensures no interference during the valve operation process, has good adjusting and flow performance, is compact in structure, light in weight, and fast in switching, and has good adaptability to various working conditions.
[0020] As shown in Figure 1 The double-seat double-eccentric three-way rotary valve of the embodiment includes a valve body 3, the inside of the valve body 3 is a cavity, and the valve body 3 has three ports, i.e., a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface. A valve seat 11 is arranged on the inner side of the first interface and the second interface, i.e., the side close to the cavity. Specifically, a four open ring 10 is arranged on the outer side of the valve seat 11, a pressing ring 9 is arranged on the outer side of the four open ring 10, and a first bolt 4 penetrates through the pressing ring 9, the four open ring 10, and the valve seat 11 and is in meshing connection with the valve body 3, so as to fix the valve seat 11 on the valve body 3. Through the first bolt 4, the valve seat 11 can be replaced alone without disassembling the whole valve when the valve seat 11 is worn, so that the maintenance is convenient.
[0021] To improve the sealing of the valve seat 11 and the valve body 3, a second winding gasket 12 is arranged between the valve seat 11 and the valve body 3. When the valve seat 11 is pressed on the valve body 3 by the first bolt 4, the second winding gasket 12 is pressed, so as to realize sealing.
[0022] The valve stem 2 penetrates through one side of the valve body 3, so that the first end of the valve stem 2 is located in the cavity of the valve body 3, and the second end of the valve stem 2 is located on the outer side of the valve body 3. The second end of the valve stem 2 can be connected with a driving mechanism, so that the valve stem 2 can rotate around the axis under the action of the driving mechanism.
[0023] A valve core 5 is connected to the first end of the valve stem 2. The valve core 5 is located inside the cavity of the valve body 3 and can rotate with the valve stem 2. The valve core 5 has a first end face and a second end face. When the valve core 5 rotates, the first end face can cooperate with the valve seat 11 at the first interface to close the first interface, allowing fluid to flow through the second and third interfaces; the second end face can cooperate with the valve seat 11 at the second fluid outlet to close the second fluid outlet, allowing fluid to flow through the first and third interfaces; alternatively, the valve core 5 can be placed in an intermediate state, with neither the first nor the second interface closed, allowing fluid to flow simultaneously from the first, second, and third interfaces. Furthermore, by changing the rotation angle of the valve core 5, the flow rate at the first and second interfaces can be adjusted. Thus, the flow direction and flow rate regulation of the three-way rotary valve are realized.
[0024] The three-way rotary valve in this embodiment does not limit the direction of fluid flow. Fluid can flow in from any one or any two of the first, second, and third ports, and flow out from the remaining ports.
[0025] In this embodiment, the valve core 5 has a T-shaped structure. The straight ends of the T-shaped structure are the first end face and the second end face, respectively. The angular end of the T-shaped structure is connected to the valve stem 2, allowing the first end face and the second end face to rotate around the valve stem 2. In this embodiment, the valve core 5 and the valve stem 2 are connected by a flat key 1.
[0026] Sealing rings 7 are respectively provided on the first and second end faces of the valve core 5, and the sealing rings 7 cooperate with the valve seat 11. The sealing rings 7 are connected to the valve core 5 by a second bolt 13, which allows the sealing rings 7 to be replaced and maintained. A flat washer 8 is provided between the nut of the second bolt 13 and the sealing ring 7 to protect the surface of the sealing ring 7.
[0027] To improve the sealing between the sealing ring 7 and the valve core 5, a first spiral wound gasket 6 is provided between the sealing ring 7 and the valve core 5. When the second bolt 13 presses the sealing ring 7 onto the valve core 5, the first spiral wound gasket 6 is compressed, thereby achieving a seal.
[0028] The sealing pair formed by the sealing ring 7 and the valve seat 11 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the sealing surface of the sealing ring 7 is an arc-shaped surface, and the sealing surface of the valve seat 11 is an inclined surface. This ensures that when the sealing ring 7 and the valve seat 11 come into contact, only one line is the actual contact surface. This allows a small torque to be used to form a large sealing pressure between the contact surfaces, thereby achieving a good sealing effect.
[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the axis of the valve stem 2 is perpendicular to the plane formed by the first interface, the second interface and the third interface. The axis of the valve stem 2 to the sealing surface of the valve seat 11 at the first interface forms a first eccentricity, and the axis of the valve stem 2 to the center line of the first interface forms a second eccentricity. Through the first eccentricity and the second eccentricity, the valve is frictionless throughout the rotation process, the valve opening and closing is rapid, and the service life is prolonged.
[0030] By adjusting the first eccentricity value and the angle of the sealing surface of the valve core and the valve seat, the second eccentricity value is reduced, so that the unbalanced force borne by the valve is greatly reduced, and the torque requirement for the actuator is reduced. Specifically, the first eccentricity value is increased, so that the distance between the two sealing rings 7 is increased, so that the second eccentricity is reduced, and the valve stem 2 does not interfere with the two sealing rings 7; at the same time, by setting a reasonable sealing surface angle, when the second eccentricity is reduced, the sealing ring 7 and the valve seat 11 do not interfere with each other and maintain good sealing performance throughout the valve operation.
[0031] The valve stem 2 can be arranged on the bisector of the included angle formed by the center line of the first interface and the center line of the second interface, so that the distance from the center line of the valve stem 2 to the two center lines is equal, and the valve core 5 can form a symmetrical structure.
[0032] It should be understood that the axis of the valve stem 2 is also eccentric relative to the center line of the second interface and the valve seat 11.
[0033] The operation process of the three-way rotary valve of the embodiment is as shown in Figure 3 The actuator rotates the valve core 5 through the valve stem 2 to adjust the angle of the valve opening, so as to realize the switching of the flow passage and the distribution of the medium. As shown in Figure 3 The sealing surface of the valve core 5 is in contact with the right valve seat 11 for sealing, and the upper interface of the valve body 3 is in communication with the left interface; as shown in the middle figure, the valve core 5 is not in contact with the two valve seats 11, so as to realize the distribution adjustment of the medium; as shown in the right figure, the sealing surface of the valve core 5 is in contact with the left valve seat 11 for sealing, and the upper interface of the valve body 3 is in communication with the right interface.
[0034] The overall appearance of the three-way rotary valve of the embodiment is as shown in Figure 4 The second end of the valve stem 2 is connected to the driving mechanism, and the three ports of the valve body 3 are connected to the external pipeline in a flange manner.
[0035] As shown in Figure 5 The three ports of the valve body 3 can adopt different included angles, and the valve core 5 of the embodiment can be applicable to three-way valves with different included angles. It should be noted that the included angle of the valve core 5 can also be changed to be Y-shaped structure, "one" structure, etc., so as to better adapt to the structure of the valve body 3.
[0036] The specific embodiments of the present application are described above. It needs to be understood that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and various changes or modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the claims, which does not affect the essential content of the present application. The embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other at will without conflict.
