Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of control valves, and particularly to a new four-way reversing valve for air conditioners. Background Technique
[0002] The new four-way reversing valve of traditional hot and cold air conditioners has problems such as jamming, and the slider is prone to gas leakage and jamming and not switching. When the solenoid valve conversion coil switches to heating, the electromagnetic coil must be continuously powered to maintain the switching state. Once the coil is open, it will return to the cooling state and cannot heat and transport air. When there is gas leakage, the position of the slider cannot be adjusted and repaired, and only the reversing valve can be replaced. The replacement operation requires strong professional skills. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a new four-way reversing valve for air conditioners, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technique.
[0004] The technical solution to achieve the above purpose is: a new four-way reversing valve for air conditioners, characterized in that: it includes a valve body with an open upper end, the open end of the valve body is hermetically connected with a valve cover, a compressor air outlet interface is arranged on the valve cover, and a compressor air inlet interface, a return air interface, and a condenser connection interface are arranged at the bottom of the valve body;
[0005] A valve core rotatably matched with the valve body is arranged in the valve body, a sealing surface is formed between the bottom of the valve core and the valve body, a valve core spring is arranged between the valve core and the valve cover, and a high-pressure air chamber is formed between the top end of the valve core and the valve body;
[0006] A driving motor connected to the valve core is installed at the bottom end of the valve body, a communication hole axially penetrating the valve core and communicating with the high-pressure air chamber is arranged on the valve core, and an arc-shaped groove is arranged at the bottom of the valve core;
[0007] The driving motor is used to drive the valve core to rotate, so that when the air conditioner is refrigerating, the return air interface is communicated with the compressor air inlet interface through the arc-shaped groove at the bottom of the valve core, and the condenser connection interface is communicated with the high-pressure air chamber through the communication hole; when the air conditioner is heating, the return air interface is communicated with the high-pressure air chamber through the communication hole, and the compressor air inlet interface is communicated with the condenser connection interface through the arc-shaped groove at the bottom of the valve core.
[0008] Further, the compressor air inlet interface, the return air interface, and the condenser connection interface are located on the same circumference with the rotation center of the valve body as the center of the circle. The compressor air inlet interface is arranged between the return air interface and the condenser connection interface, and is respectively spaced 90° from the return air interface and the condenser;
[0009] There are two of the said communication holes, and they are located on the same circumference as the bottom arc-shaped groove of the valve core. The two communication holes and the bottom arc-shaped groove are arranged at an interval of 90°; the circumference formed by the communication holes and the bottom arc-shaped groove has the same diameter as the circumference formed by the compressor air inlet interface, the air return interface, and the condenser connection interface.
[0010] When the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, the bottom arc-shaped groove corresponds to and communicates with the compressor air inlet interface and the air return interface. One of the communication holes communicates with the condenser connection interface, and the other communication hole is in sealing cooperation with the bottom surface of the valve body. When the air conditioner is in the cooling mode, the valve core rotates 90°, so that the bottom arc-shaped groove corresponds to and communicates with the compressor air inlet interface and the condenser connection interface; the communication hole sealed with the valve body rotates to communicate with the air return interface, and the other communication hole rotates to be sealed with the valve body.
[0011] Furthermore, the output shaft of the driving motor is sealed by a stuffing box sealing mechanism fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the valve body.
[0012] The utility model realizes the switching between cooling and heating by rotating the valve core, and uses the system pressure difference to tightly press the sealing surface of the valve core on the sealing surface of the low-pressure side of the valve core from the high-pressure side, so that the sealing surface forms a better sealing state, which well solves the leakage problem existing in the connection between the output shaft of the driving motor and the system, and there will be no gas leakage problem.
[0013] When the system operates in the cold and hot modes, the valve core driving motor only rotates 90°, there are no problems such as jamming and failure to switch, and after the switching is completed, no status maintenance current is required, which saves energy and reduces consumption.
