[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The utility model discloses a first aspect provides a kind of integrated multi-way valve 10, comprising: shell 100, multiple valve cores 400, multiple first interface pipes 200 and at least one second interface pipe 300;Shell 100 is formed with at least one first channel 100B and multiple cavities 100A, the outer wall of adjacent two cavities 100A is connected by a first channel 100B;Each valve core 400 is respectively arranged in corresponding one cavity 100A and is rotatably connected with shell 100, and the outer wall of each cavity 100A is connected with at least two first interface pipes 200, and the outer wall of first channel 100B is connected with at least one second interface pipe 300;Each valve core 400 can rotate in corresponding cavity 100A, to make different first interface pipe 200 connected with cavity 100A intercommunication and / or be connected with second interface pipe 300 by first channel 100B.
[0036] In the scheme, by integrated design, multiple valve cores 400 are integrated in one shell 100, and each valve core 400 controls the communication state of multiple interface pipes, reduces the required number of use of traditional cooling waterway control valve in the same system, also reduces the overall volume, effectively saves the precious space resource inside whole vehicle, since at least two interface pipes are connected with each cavity 100A, and one valve core 400 is correspondingly arranged in each cavity 100A, i.e. at least two first interface pipes 200 and first channel 100B can be controlled by single valve core 400, so that the control logic and signal demand of whole control valve can be simplified, and a large number of complex elements such as three-way valve and four-way valve are not needed.
[0037] In the further scheme of the utility model, Figure 2 Multiple cavities 100A include first cavity 100A1 and second cavity 100A2, and shell 100 is also formed with second channel 100C, and second channel 100C is connected with the outer wall of second cavity 100A2, and at least two third interface pipes 500 are connected with second channel 100C. Multiple valve cores 400 include first valve core 410 arranged in first cavity 100A1 and second valve core 420 arranged in second cavity 100A2, and first valve core 410 is arranged to be rotatable in first cavity 100A1, to make different first interface pipe 200 connected with first cavity 100A1 intercommunication, or be connected with second interface pipe 300 by first channel 100B;Second valve core 420 is arranged to be rotatable in second cavity 100A2, to make different first interface pipe 200 connected with second cavity 100A2 intercommunication, or be connected with second interface pipe 300 by first channel 100B, or be connected with third interface pipe 500 by second channel 100C.
[0038] In this scheme, the first valve core 410 rotates independently in the first cavity 100A1, thereby controlling the mutual communication of the first interface pipes 200 or the communication with the second interface pipe 300 through the first channel 100B, and the second valve core 420 rotates independently in the second cavity 100A2, thereby controlling the mutual communication of different first interface pipes 200 connected with the second cavity 100A2, or the communication with the second interface pipe 300 through the first channel 100B, or the communication with the third interface pipe 500 through the second channel 100C. Since the first channel 100B also connects the second cavity 100A2 and the first cavity 100A1, the rotation of the first valve core 410 and the second valve core 420 can also control the communication of the first cavity 100A1, the second cavity 100A2 and the first channel 100B.
[0039] In further schemes of the utility model, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first valve core 410 is a semi-cylindrical structure; the first valve core 410 is arranged to rotate by abutting the inner wall of the first cavity 100A1 through a sealing ring, so as to block the communication between the first cavity 100A1 and the first interface pipes 200 connected therewith, so that the other first interface pipes 200 are in communication with each other or with the second interface pipe 300 through the first channel 100B.
[0040] In this scheme, the first valve core 410 in a cylindrical structure can rotate by abutting the inner wall of the first cavity 100A1 through a sealing ring, so that the first valve core 410 can accurately block or communicate different first interface pipes 200 or the first channel 100B during rotation. By adjusting the position of the first valve core 410, the communication state between different interface pipes in the first cavity 100A1 and the communication relationship between them and the first channel 100B and the second interface pipe 300 can be flexibly controlled, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the cooling water system.
[0041] The first valve core 410 in a semi-cylindrical structure is more compact than the traditional structure, can realize more communication control functions in a limited space, saves the space resources of the whole vehicle, and also provides more layout possibilities for other systems or components.
[0042] In further schemes of the utility model, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the second valve core 420 is in a cylindrical structure, and the second valve core 420 is provided with at least one connection channel 420A; the second valve core 420 is arranged to rotate by abutting the inner wall of the second cavity 100A2, so that the two ends of each connection channel 420A are respectively connected with any two of the first interface pipes 200 connected with the second cavity 100A2, the first channel 100B and the second channel 100C.
[0043] In this scheme, the second valve core 420 of the columnar structure is provided with at least one connecting channel 420A, which enables the second valve core 420 to flexibly realize the communication of different first interface pipes 300 through the connecting channel 420A during rotation. By adjusting the position of the second valve core 420, it can be accurately controlled which interface pipes or channels are respectively connected at both ends of the connecting channel 420A, thereby meeting the diversified communication needs of the cooling water circuit system. Since the second valve core 420 can rotate in close contact with the inner wall of the second cavity 100A2, and the design of the connecting channel 420A enables the flow to be freely distributed between different interface pipes and channels, it helps to optimize the flow distribution of the cooling water circuit. By accurately controlling the position of the valve core 400, it can ensure that the cooling water is evenly distributed in the system, improving the cooling efficiency.
[0044] In a further scheme of the present application, the second channel 100C, the first channel 100B and the first interface pipe 200 connected with the second cavity 100A2 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the second cavity 100A2.
[0045] In this scheme, arranging different channels and interface pipes at intervals in the circumferential direction of the second cavity 100A2 can more effectively utilize the space around the second cavity 100A2. This layout avoids mutual interference between the second channel 100C, the first channel 100B and the first interface pipe 200, making the layout of the entire cooling water circuit system more compact and orderly. The interval arrangement of the second channel 100C, the first channel 100B and the first interface pipe 200 provides more communication options for the rotation of the second valve core 420. By adjusting the position of the second valve core 420, the communication or disconnection between different channels and interface pipes can be conveniently realized, thereby meeting the communication needs of the cooling water circuit system under different working conditions.
[0046] In a further scheme of the present application, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the third interface pipe 500 is arranged perpendicular to the second channel 100C, and the second interface pipe 300 is arranged perpendicular to the first channel 100B. Specifically, the first interface pipe 200 can be a T-shaped structure or an inverted L-shaped structure.
[0047] In this scheme, the perpendicular arrangement can more effectively utilize the space in the vertical direction, avoiding excessive occupation of the horizontal plane by the pipes, making the layout of the entire cooling system more compact. The T-shaped structure or the inverted L-shaped structure facilitates the connection of the first interface pipe 200.
[0048] In a further scheme of the present application, with reference to Figure 2, the first cavity 100A1 and the second cavity 100A2 are both cylindrical, the rotation center line of the first valve core 410 coincides with the axial center line of the first cavity 100A1, and the rotation center line of the second valve core 420 coincides with the axial center line of the second cavity 100A2.
[0049] In the scheme, since the rotation center line of the valve core 400 completely coincides with the axial center line of the corresponding cavity 100A, it is ensured that the valve core 400 can uniformly and stably control the flow of fluid during rotation, which helps to reduce fluid leakage, improve the accuracy and reliability of flow control, and the cylindrical cavity 100A design makes the flow of fluid more smooth when passing through the valve, reduces fluid resistance and vortex formation.
[0050] In a further aspect of the present application, the first interface pipe 200, the second interface pipe 300 and the third interface pipe 500 are coaxially arranged. Figure 2 , the outlets of the first interface pipe 200, the second interface pipe 300 and the third interface pipe 500 are oriented to the same side in the axial direction of the cavity 100A.
[0051] In the scheme, the outlets of the first interface pipe 200, the second interface pipe 300 and the third interface pipe 500 are oriented to the same side in the axial direction of the cavity 100A, which facilitates the installation of inlet and outlet pipes for the entire cooling system.
[0052] In a further aspect of the present application, the integrated multi-way valve 10 further comprises a driving mechanism, which is arranged on the housing 100 and is drivingly connected to the plurality of valve cores 400 to drive the plurality of valve cores 400 to rotate, respectively.
[0053] In a further aspect of the present application, the integrated multi-way valve 10 further comprises a driving mechanism, which is arranged on the housing 100 and is drivingly connected to the plurality of valve cores 400 to drive the plurality of valve cores 400 to rotate, respectively.
