[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a large-flow and low-pressure difference flow switch comprises a valve body 1, the right end of the valve body 1 is a closed end, and a liquid inlet cavity 2, a valve cavity 3, a liquid outlet cavity 4 and a blocking cavity 7 are arranged in sequence from right to left in the valve body 1, and the left end of the blocking cavity 7 is an open end, the liquid inlet cavity 2, the valve cavity 3, the liquid outlet cavity 4 and the blocking cavity 7 are coaxially arranged, and the inner diameters of the liquid inlet cavity 2, the valve cavity 3 and the liquid outlet cavity 4 increase successively, and a liquid inlet 5 and a liquid outlet 6 are arranged on the valve body 1, and the liquid inlet 5 and the liquid outlet 6 are located on the same side of the valve body 1, the liquid outlet 6 is vertically connected with the liquid outlet cavity 4, and the liquid inlet 5 is vertically connected with the liquid inlet cavity 2. Through the vertical connection arrangement, the impact of the large-flow medium on the piston 8 is reduced, and the service life of the flow switch is extended.
[0019] An end block 17 is threadedly connected to the sealing cavity 7, a sealing cover 18 is fixed to the left end of the end block 17, a sealing ring 19 is installed between the inner side of the sealing cover 18 and the valve body 1, and a column 20 is fixed to the right end of the end block 17. The column 20 is coaxially arranged with the end block 17 and is an integral structure with the end block 17.
[0020] A core shaft 21 is also provided in the valve body 1. The left end of the core shaft 21 is plugged into the column 20, and the right end of the core shaft 21 passes through the liquid outlet cavity 4, the valve cavity 3 and the liquid inlet cavity 2 in sequence, and is plugged into the inner wall of the right end of the valve body 1.

The arrangement of the core shaft 21 ensures that the piston 8 moves axially.
[0021] A support spring 12 is provided at the left end of the piston 8. The support spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the column 20. The left end of the support spring 12 abuts against the end block 17, and the right end abuts against the piston 8. The piston 8 is provided with a groove 22 that cooperates with the column 20. The medium enters the liquid inlet cavity 2 through the liquid inlet 5, pushing the piston 8 to move left, and the support spring 12 is compressed.
