[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a valve core structure 10, which is rotatably arranged in the valve body 20 of the multi-way valve and has a plurality of mutually spaced flow channels, the flow channels include a flow cavity and a flow port connected to both ends of the flow cavity, the force acting on the valve core structure by the fluid in part of the flow cavity is F1, and the force acting on the valve core structure by the fluid in another part of the flow cavity is F2, and F1 is opposite to F2. Specifically, the flow ports of the plurality of flow channels are all located at the bottom of the valve core structure 10 and distributed along the circumference of the valve core structure 10, the top of part of the flow cavity is the cavity bottom wall, and the bottom is the opening connected to the flow port, that is, the opening faces downward. The bottom of another part of the flow cavity is the cavity bottom wall where the flow port is located, and the top is the opening, that is, the opening faces upward. The bottom wall of the part of the flow cavity with the opening facing downward is located above the opening of its flow cavity. The cavity bottom wall of the other part of the flow cavity with the opening facing upward is located below the opening of its flow cavity. That is, the cavity bottom walls of the two parts of the flow cavity are arranged opposite to the opening positions of their respective flow cavities in the axial direction of the valve core structure 10. The fluid flowing through the portion of the flow cavity opening downward exerts an upward thrust on the valve core structure 10 , and the fluid flowing through the other portion of the flow cavity opening upward exerts a downward pressure on the valve core structure 10 , so that the overall force of the valve core structure 10 is balanced.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bottom walls of the two parts of the flow channels are arranged in opposite positions relative to the openings of their respective flow cavities, so that the directions of the impact force of the fluid passing through the valve core structure 10 on the valve core structure 10 are upward and downward, which is beneficial to maintaining the force balance of the valve core structure, avoiding the situation in the prior art that the directions of the fluid impact forces on the valve core structure 10 are the same and the valve core structure 10 is easily unbalanced and moved or lifted, which further causes the multi-way valve to be prone to internal leakage, thereby achieving internal force balance inside the valve core structure 10 when the fluid flows through it.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the plurality of circulation channels include a first circulation channel 101 and a second circulation channel 102, the valve core structure 10 has an inner cavity and an outer cavity spaced apart from each other, the circulation opening of the first circulation channel 101 and the circulation opening of the second circulation channel 102 are both arranged at the bottom of the valve core structure 10 corresponding to the outer cavity, and the circulation cavity of the first circulation channel 101 is formed by the inner cavity and the outer cavity. The top of the inner cavity and the top of the outer cavity are both the cavity bottom wall of the circulation cavity, the bottom of the inner cavity is an opening, and the bottom of the outer cavity is directly opposite to the circulation opening. The circulation cavity of the second circulation channel 102 is formed by the outer cavity with an opening facing upward, the bottom of the outer cavity is the cavity bottom wall where the circulation opening is located, and the top is an opening.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first circulation channel 101 includes a first circulation cavity 1011 and two first circulation ports 1012 connected to the two ends of the first circulation cavity 1011, and the second circulation channel 102 includes a second circulation cavity 1021 and two second circulation ports 1022 connected to the two ends of the second circulation cavity 1021. The opening of the first circulation cavity 1011 is downward, and the opening of the second circulation cavity 1021 is upward. In this embodiment, the first circulation cavity 1011 is composed of an outer cavity and an inner cavity, and the second circulation cavity 1021 is only composed of an outer cavity, which is conducive to ensuring the spacing effect between the first circulation cavity 1011 and the second circulation cavity 1021 and the structural strength of the valve core structure 10, and is also conducive to the design of the reverse opening of the two circulation cavities. The first circulation channel 101 is a groove-shaped channel with the top as the bottom wall of the cavity and the bottom as a completely open channel. The impact force of the fluid in the first circulation channel 101 on the valve core structure 10 is always upward. The second circulation cavity 1021 is completely open at the top and has a groove-shaped channel on the bottom wall of the cavity. The impact force of the fluid in the second circulation cavity 1021 on the valve core structure 10 is always downward.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the valve core structure 10 includes an inner cylinder 11, a middle cylinder 12, an outer cylinder 13 and a plurality of radial partitions 14. The area between the inner cylinder 11 and the middle cylinder 12 forms an inner cavity, and the area between the middle cylinder 12 and the outer cylinder 13 forms an outer cavity. The radial partitions 14 are arranged between the middle cylinder 12 and the outer cylinder 13 along the circumference of the valve core structure 10 and divide the outer cavity into a plurality of sub-cavities with opposite opening directions, wherein the two sub-cavities used to form the flow cavity of the first flow channel 101 are spaced in the circumference of the valve core structure 10, and the bottom of the sub-cavities are both opposite to the flow opening, and the top is the bottom wall of the cavity of the first flow channel 101. There is one sub-cavity used to form the flow cavity of the second flow channel 102, and the top of the sub-cavity is open, and the bottom includes the cavity bottom wall located between the two flow openings.

[0035] Such an arrangement facilitates the formation of the inner cavity, the outer cavity, and the multi-section sub-cavities of the outer cavity, and is also conducive to the formation of the first circulation cavity 1011 and the second circulation cavity 1021. Specifically, the valve core structure 10 in this embodiment is divided into a plurality of sectors at equal angles (40°) along the circumference, and the sub-cavity between any two adjacent radial partitions corresponds to at least one sector, wherein the two sub-cavities used to form the first circulation cavity 1011 in this embodiment correspond to one sector respectively, and one sector is arranged across the two sub-cavities, the inner cavity is an annular cavity, and the two sub-cavities are respectively connected to the inner cavity at different positions in the circumference, so as to connect the two sub-cavities through the inner cavity and form the first circulation cavity 1011 together; the sub-cavity used to form the second circulation cavity 1021 includes three consecutively adjacent sectors, and the three sectors are connected in sequence.

[0036] Furthermore, the valve core structure 10 also includes a top plate 15 and a bottom plate 16. The top plate 15 is arranged at the top openings of the outer cavity and the inner cavity, and the bottom plate 16 is arranged at the bottom opening of the outer cavity. The radial partition plate 14 is respectively connected to the top plate 15 and the bottom plate 16 at both ends along the axial direction of the valve core structure 10. Multiple flow ports are arranged on the bottom plate 16. The top plate 15 forms the bottom wall of the flow cavity of the first flow channel 101, and the bottom plate 16 is used to form the bottom wall of the flow cavity of the second flow channel 102. This arrangement facilitates the molding of the bottom walls of the first flow cavity 1011 and the second flow cavity 1021, and ensures the balanced impact effect of the fluid on the valve core structure 10 as a whole. Specifically, the top plate 15 in this embodiment forms the bottom wall of all the inner cavities and sub-cavities of the outer cavity that open downward, and the bottom plate 16 avoids the part of the multiple flow ports to form the bottom wall of all the sub-cavities of the outer cavity that open upward. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second circulation cavity 1021 (second circulation channel 102) is arranged across three fan-shaped areas, and a bottom plate 16 for forming the bottom wall of the cavity of the second circulation cavity 1021 is arranged at the bottom of the sub-cavity corresponding to the middle fan-shaped area, and the two second circulation ports 1022 of the second circulation channel 102 correspond to the two left and right fan-shaped areas respectively below the sub-cavities; the first circulation cavity 1011 (first circulation channel 101) is arranged across four fan-shaped areas, and a top plate 15 is arranged at the top of the four fan-shaped areas, a bottom plate 16 is arranged at the bottom of the sub-cavities corresponding to the two middle fan-shaped areas, and the two second circulation ports 1022 of the first circulation channel 101 correspond to the two second fan-shaped areas at the left and right ends respectively below the sub-cavities corresponding to the two second circulation ports 1022 of the first circulation channel 101.

[0037] In this embodiment, except for the sub-cavities used to form the first circulation cavity 1011 and the second circulation cavity 1021, the openings of the remaining sub-cavities are all upward and the bottom wall of the cavity is formed by the bottom plate 16. In this way, at most one side of any sector area on both sides of the axial direction of the valve core structure 10 is blocked by the top plate 15 or the bottom plate 16, which is conducive to achieving lightweight of the valve core structure 10.

[0038] In summary, the first circulation cavity 1011 of the first circulation channel 101 is a strip groove-shaped cavity formed by an inner cavity, two outer cavities opening downward and the top plate 15. The two first circulation ports 1012 communicating with the two ends of the first circulation cavity 1011 are arranged on the bottom plate 16 and are respectively communicated with the two outer cavities opening downward. The impact force of the fluid in the first circulation channel 101 on the valve core structure 10 acts on the top plate 15, and the impact force on the valve core structure 10 is always upward. The second circulation cavity 1021 of the second circulation channel 102 is a strip groove-shaped cavity formed by an outer cavity spanning three fan-shaped areas and opening upward and the bottom plate 16. The two second circulation ports 1022 communicating with the two ends of the second circulation cavity 1021 are both arranged on the bottom plate 16 and are respectively arranged corresponding to the two spaced fan-shaped areas used to form the second circulation cavity 1021. The impact force of the fluid in the second circulation channel 102 on the valve core structure 10 acts on the bottom plate 16, and the impact force on the valve core structure 10 is always downward.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first circulation channel 101 and the second circulation channel 102 are located at the same height of the valve core structure 10. This arrangement is conducive to miniaturization of the valve core structure 10 and avoids the situation where the valve core structure 10 needs to be multi-layered to design multiple circulation channels.

[0040] Preferably, the valve core structure 10 also has a plurality of weight-reducing cavities 103 with top openings, and the weight-reducing cavities 103 are arranged to avoid the flow cavity of the first flow channel 101 and the flow cavity of the second flow channel 102. Such an arrangement is conducive to achieving the lightweight of the valve core structure 10. Among them, the weight-reducing cavity 103 in this embodiment is the other sub-cavities except the sub-cavities used to form the first flow cavity 1011 and the second flow cavity 1021.

[0041] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, another embodiment of the utility model provides a multi-way valve, which includes a valve body 20, a valve core sealing gasket 30, an actuator drive assembly 40 and the above-mentioned valve core structure 10. The bottom of the valve body 20 has a plurality of flow holes 201 distributed along the circumferential direction. The valve core structure 10 is arranged at the bottom of the cavity of the valve body 20. Any flow port corresponds to a flow hole 201. The valve core sealing gasket 30 is arranged between the valve body 20 and the valve core structure 10. The actuator drive assembly 40 is arranged on the valve body 20 and is driven and connected to the valve core structure 10 to drive the valve core structure 10 to rotate and adjust the flow condition of the multi-way valve.

[0042] In this embodiment, the valve core sealing gasket 30 is used to seal the valve body 20 and the valve core structure 10, so as to avoid leakage of fluid from the gap between the flow port and the flow hole, which may cause internal leakage of the multi-way valve. The valve core structure 10 is driven to rotate by the actuator drive assembly 40 and the correspondence between the multiple flow channels and the multiple flow holes 201 is adjusted to adjust the flow condition of the multi-way valve. Furthermore, the valve core structure 10 of this embodiment makes the impact force of the fluid passing through the valve core structure 10 on the valve core structure 10 have up and down directions, so as to achieve internal force balance inside the valve core structure 10 when the fluid flows through it.

[0043] Specifically, at least one of the circulation cavities with a top opening is connected to the cavity of the valve body 20, and the remaining circulation cavities are spaced from the cavity of the valve body 20. This arrangement is conducive to designing the internal balance channel of the valve core structure 10 according to actual conditions. In this embodiment, the opening of the second circulation cavity 1021 of the second circulation channel 102 is upward and connected to the cavity of the valve body 20. Since the opening of the sub-cavity used to form the second circulation cavity 1021 is upward, that is, there is no top plate 15 to stop the top of the second circulation cavity 1021, the fluid enters from one of the second circulation ports 1022 and moves upward to the second circulation cavity 1021. Since there is no stopper at the top of the second circulation cavity 1021, the upward flow of the fluid will not be stopped, and no force to push the valve core structure 10 as a whole will be generated. After that, the fluid will flow to another second circulation port 1022 and flow out from another second circulation port 1022 under the action of its own weight and the guiding action of the second circulation cavity 1021. During this process, the fluid in the second circulation chamber 1021 will generate downward pressure on the bottom wall (bottom plate 16) of the second circulation chamber 1021 located between the two second circulation ports 1022. This partial pressure will be balanced with the upward thrust on the valve core structure 10 as a whole generated by the first circulation channel 101. It can be understood that, in one embodiment, the first circulation channel 101 only generates a force to push the valve core structure 10 upward, and the second circulation channel 102 only generates a force to press the valve core structure 10 downward.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner cylinder 11 of the valve core structure 10 has a guide limit groove 111 with an opening facing upward, and the driving shaft 41 of the actuator drive assembly 40 is inserted into the guide limit groove 111 and is engaged with the inner cylinder 11. This arrangement ensures the coaxiality of the valve core structure 10 and the driving shaft 41 of the actuator drive assembly 40, and facilitates the rotation drive of the valve core structure 10.
