[0002] The series of equipment in the field of liquid chromatography generally includes the following components: plunger pump, injector, chromatographic column, detector, fraction collector, etc. Among them, the injector is divided into two types of devices: automatic injection valve and manual injector. In practical applications, the two-position six-way valve injector is a more ideal injection device in high performance liquid chromatography, so the accuracy of this type of equipment is the main research issue at present.

[0003] The six-way valve is composed of a circular sealing pad (rotor) and a fixed base (stator). When in the loading position, the sample is loaded into the quantitative loop from the injection hole, and the excess sample is discharged from the vent hole; when it is turned to the injection position (rotate the six-way valve rotor 60°), the mobile phase delivered by the pump flushes the quantitative loop and pushes the sample into the column.

[0004] At present, the sealing force between the circular sealing gasket (rotor) and the fixed base (stator) is rarely considered in the existing technology. The existing six-way valve generally adopts direct sliding contact between the stator and the rotor, which places extremely high requirements on the processing technology of the stator sliding contact surface, increases the processing cost of the stator, and the sealing of the sliding contact surface is easily invalidated due to wear, resulting in the stator being a consumable part that requires regular maintenance and replacement, which undoubtedly increases the use cost of the six-way valve.
