[0002] An air source heat pump is a device that uses the heat in the outside air for heating and cooling. Its working principle is based on the circulation of refrigerant between the evaporator and the condenser. Through the work of the compressor, low-temperature heat is absorbed, compressed by the compressor and then becomes high-temperature heat energy, and then released into indoor water or air to achieve heating; in the cooling mode, this process is reversed, and the indoor heat is absorbed and then released into the outside air through the cycle.
[0003] In a ground source heat pump system, the four-way valve is a key component responsible for switching the refrigerant flow direction to achieve the cooling or heating mode. However, in actual applications, the accidental opening or closing of the four-way valve due to accidental touch may cause unstable system operation and even equipment damage. This situation limits the reliability of the four-way valve in actual applications, especially in occasions that require high stability and long-term unattended operation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the design of the four-way valve to prevent misoperation and ensure the safe operation of the ground source heat pump system. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] Preferably, the mounting seat is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the valve body by bolts.
[0007] Preferably, a handwheel is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the valve rod.
[0008] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to one side surface of the clamping block.

Through the structures such as the clamping blocks 12 and the positioning holes 8 provided, when it is necessary to rotate the valve rod 5 clockwise, the left clamping block 12 is pressed downward through the handle 13. After the valve rod 5 rotates, the handle 13 is released. When it is necessary to rotate the valve rod 5 counterclockwise, the right clamping block 12 is pressed downward through the handle 13. The two clamping blocks 12 on the left and right sides are ejected upward by the spring structure 14 and clamped inside the positioning holes 8, realizing the limitation of the rotation angle of the rotating disk 7, thereby ensuring that the valve rod 5 of the four-way valve will not be accidentally touched, effectively avoiding the accidental opening or closing of the four-way valve caused by accidental touch, which may cause unstable system operation and even equipment damage. This situation limits the reliability of the four-way valve in practical applications, especially in occasions that require high stability and long-term unattended operation.

[0029] In the present utility model, preferably, a sliding groove 9 is opened on the lower surface of the rotating disk 7.
[0030] In the present utility model, preferably, the valve body 1 is made of stainless steel.

At this time, the left clamping block 12 pops up upward under the action of the spring structure 14 and is stuck inside the positioning hole 8 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating disk 7 and prevent the valve stem 5 from being accidentally touched. When it is necessary to rotate the valve stem 5 counterclockwise, the user presses the right clamping block 12 downward through the handle 13, holds the handwheel 6 and rotates the valve stem 5 counterclockwise, and then releases the handle 13 after rotation. Similarly, the right clamping block 12 pops up upward under the action of the spring structure 14 and is stuck inside the positioning hole 8 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating disk 7. Through the above operations, the user realizes precise control of the air source heat pump four-way valve, avoids accidental opening or closing caused by accidental touch, and ensures high stability and reliability of the system operation. Especially in occasions where there is no one on duty for a long time, this structural design greatly improves the safety of the four-way valve in practical applications.
