[0061] The valve body 1 is a circular cylindrical structure, and four channel openings are arranged at the same radial position of the valve body 1. The channel openings lead to the inner cavity of the valve body 1. Four pipes are arranged at the channel opening position of the valve body 1, which are respectively a first pipe 11D, a second pipe 12E, a third pipe 13S and a fourth pipe 14C. The four pipes are sealingly installed on the wall of the valve body 1 and communicate with the inner cavity of the valve body 1. The inner cavity of the valve body 1 is provided with a transition seat 2 at the pipe position. The number of the transition seat 2 is three, which is correspondingly installed with the second pipe 12E, the third pipe 13S and the fourth pipe 14C. The transition seat 2 is provided with a transition seat hole 211 in the middle. The transition seat hole 211 is correspondingly communicated with the pipe on the valve body 1. The position of the transition seat 2 does not exceed the center of the valve body. The face of the transition seat 2 towards the center of the valve body 1 is an inner side face 212. The face away from the center of the valve body 1 and towards the inner wall of the valve body 1 is an outer side face 213. The inner side face 212 is a plane, and the outer side face 213 is an arbitrary shape. The outer side face 213 is sealingly connected with the pipe inserted into the valve body 1 or the inner wall of the valve body 1 around the channel opening.
[0062] Each pipe is sealingly assembled with the corresponding channel on the valve body 1. The preferred installation method is welding. Among them, the second pipe 12E, the third pipe 13S and the fourth pipe 14C are inserted into the valve body and sealingly welded, and extend into the valve body. The first pipe 11D does not extend into the inner cavity of the valve body and is sealingly assembled on the wall of the valve body 1. The end of the three pipes inserted into the inner cavity 12E, 13S and 14C of the valve body 1 is processed into a sealing plane, and the transition seat 2 is installed. The number of the transition seat 2 is three. The transition seat 2 can be made of metal, non-metal or any other wear-resistant sealing material, or a double-material combination with a wear-resistant sealing material on the mating surface. The outer shape of the transition seat 2 is an arbitrary shape, preferably a round square or a square. The transition seat 2 has a transition seat hole 211 in the middle. The transition seat hole 211 corresponds to the pipe on the valve body 1. The inner side face 212 of the transition seat 2 is a plane with a chamfered edge. The outer side face 213 is an arbitrary shape. The outer side face 213 has a ring-shaped end groove. The outer side face 213 of the transition seat is sealingly connected with the end plane of the pipe passing through the inner wall of the valve body or is sealingly installed with the pipe through an elastic sealing element 23, or is sealingly connected with the inner wall around the channel opening of the valve body 1. Under the premise of ensuring sealing, the transition seat can have a slight floating under the pressure of the valve core 3, so as to ensure that the two transition seat planes are perfectly matched with the two planes of the valve core 3.
[0063] As Figure 13As shown, the outer shape structure of the transition seat, the outer side surface 213 of the transition seat is installed in the way of inserting and sheathing and end surface compression installation with the connecting pipe, the outer side surface of the transition seat 2 has an end surface slot, which is sealed and connected with the end surface plane of the connecting pipe inserted into the valve body, and an elastic sealing element 23 is also arranged at the position of the end surface of the connecting pipe, so as to ensure that there is no leakage between the transition seat 2 and the connecting pipe of the valve body, and the elastic sealing element 23 has an elastic amount, so that the transition seat 2 can have a slight floating; the outer side surface 213 can not be in contact with the inner wall of the valve body 1;
[0064] The inner side surface 212 of the three transition seats 2 forms a “kan” shape; the included angle between the inner side surfaces 212 is preferably 90°;
[0065] The valve core 3 is installed in the “kan” shaped space formed by the inner side surface 212 of the transition seat 2; the valve core 3 has four side surfaces, three edges of the cross section of the valve core 3 are straight and perpendicular to each other, and the other edge is a circular arc, the three straight edges are matched with the planes of the inner side surfaces 212 of the three transition seats respectively, and the arc surface is arranged at the position without the transition seat, and the valve core 3 slides axially in the valve body 1;
[0066] The four side surfaces of the valve core 3 are provided with two channel openings on each surface, and the four surfaces are axially distributed, and a total of eight channel openings are arranged on the four surfaces, the channel openings are circular or square or any shape, and the sizes of the channel openings can be equal or unequal; the eight channel openings are respectively a first channel opening 301D1, a second channel opening 302E1, a third channel opening 303S1, a fourth channel opening 304C1, a fifth channel opening 305D2, a sixth channel opening 306E2, a seventh channel opening 307S2 and an eighth channel opening 308C2; the first channel opening 301D1, the second channel opening 302E1, the third channel opening 303S1 and the fourth channel opening 304C1 are arranged on the four surfaces of the left radial position 34 of the valve core; the fifth channel opening 305D2, the sixth channel opening 306E2, the seventh channel opening 307S2 and the eighth channel opening 308C2 are arranged on the four surfaces of the right radial position 35 of the valve core; the on-off relationship of the four channels of the left radial position 34 of the valve core is that the first channel opening 301D1 is communicated with the second channel opening 302E1 to form a DE channel 309, the third channel opening 303S1 is communicated with the fourth channel opening 304C1 to form an SC channel 310, and the DE channel 309 and the SC channel 310 are not communicated;
[0067] The on-off relationship of the four channels of the right radial position 35 of the valve core is that the fifth channel opening 305D2 is communicated with the eighth channel opening 308C2 to form a DC channel 311, the sixth channel opening 306E2 is communicated with the seventh channel opening 307S2 to form an ES channel 312, and the DC channel 311 and the ES channel 312 are not communicated;
[0068] If necessary, two ports of the same radial position can be axially offset; usually the first port 301D1 and the fifth port 305D2 are small in diameter and can be offset to the ends of the spool;
[0069] The DE port 309 or DC port 311 on the spool 3 is an open port, i.e. the corner part is not connected, see Figure 3 ;
[0070] The spool 3 has a spool boss 8 at the left and right ends, which is part of the left and right piston assemblies;
[0071] The spool 3 can have a boss surface around the eight ports for easy machining of the seal;
[0072] As shown in Figure 8 , the distance between the edges of the ports of the same radial position on the left and right of the spool is called the partition 313, and the width of the partition 313 is greater than or equal to the large diameter of the corresponding connector to prevent the spool 3 from being in the full-open state of the four pipelines when it is in the middle position of the connector;
[0073] The four ports of each radial position on the spool 3, three of which correspond to the transition seat holes 211 of the three transition seats, and the remaining ports correspond to the connectors on the valve body 1 that do not have transition seats; the four connectors on the valve body 1 are connected to the ports in the spool 3 through the transition seats 2, forming a two-to-two connection relationship between the connectors;
[0074] The spool 3 can also have a recess or a positioning hole at the left and right ends for easy installation of the left and right piston assemblies; at least one end of the spool 3 is installed with a spool driving mechanism 10;
[0075] As shown in Figure 4 , the spool driving mechanism 10 is pneumatic, and the spool driving mechanism 10 includes a left piston assembly 6 and a right piston assembly 7, which are installed on the spool 3 and have a certain radial clearance; when there is a free gap or an elastic gap between the spool 3 and the transition seat 2, or a gap after wear, the spool 3 can be offset radially 42 to compensate; the piston assembly is equipped with a sealing element that cooperates with the inner wall of the piston cavity 15 of the valve body 1, and the spool 3 can slide along the axial direction 41 under the pushing action of the left and right piston assemblies;
[0076] The piston cavity 15 at the two ends of the valve body is larger in diameter than the maximum diameter of the square spool, so that the square spool can be accommodated in the piston cavity 15 at the two ends of the valve body to shorten the length of the valve body 1;
[0077] If the piston cavity 15 is less than the maximum diameter of the four-lobed spool, the spool 3 cannot be accommodated in the piston cavity 15, and the spool 3 and the left and right piston assemblies can be connected by the connecting piece, in which case the valve body length will be lengthened;
[0078] The left end cover 4 and the right end cover 5 are respectively mounted at both ends of the valve body 1, and the mounting mode is welding, sealing by a sealing member, or crimping, so as to form a closed space with the valve body 1;
[0079] The connecting piece 9 is mounted on the left end cover and the right end cover, and the connecting piece 9 is a gas source connector, so as to enable the control gas to enter and exit the left and right piston cavities.
[0080] Working principle:
[0081] When the left piston cavity obtains low pressure and the right piston cavity obtains high pressure, the spool 3 moves from right to left under the thrust of the piston assembly and moves to the leftmost end, at which time the right radial position 35 of the spool is at the middle position of the valve body 1, the channel of the spool 3 is aligned with the channel of the connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe has the following connection relationship: the connecting pipe 11D is connected with the connecting pipe 14C through the DC channel 311, and the connecting pipe 13S is connected with the connecting pipe 12E through the ES channel 312.
[0082] Small valve mechanisms 26 are mounted on the left and right end covers and the end faces of the piston assemblies, the small valve mechanisms 26 are connected with the connecting piece 9, and when the spool moves to the left and right end cover positions, the small valve mechanisms 26 on the end covers are respectively blocked, so as to reduce leakage and play a buffering role.
[0083] When the left piston cavity obtains high pressure through the connecting piece 9 and the right piston cavity obtains low pressure, the spool 3 moves from left to right to the rightmost end under the thrust of the piston assembly, the left radial position 34 of the spool is at the middle position of the valve body, the channel of the spool 3 is aligned with the channel of the connecting pipe, at which time the connecting pipe has the following connection relationship: the connecting pipe 11D is connected with the connecting pipe 12E through the DE channel 309, and the connecting pipe 13S is connected with the connecting pipe 14C through the SC channel 310.
[0084] Since the connecting pipe 11D is usually connected with the system high pressure and the connecting pipe 13S is connected with the system low pressure in the air conditioner, under the action of the high and low pressure difference, no matter whether the left radial position 34 of the spool is aligned with the connecting pipe or the right radial position 35 of the spool is aligned with the connecting pipe, the spool 3 is pressed in the “U” shaped corner, so as to ensure that the two adjacent planes of the spool are always pressed and sealed with the two adjacent transition conversion seats 2, and if the transition conversion seat 2 or the spool 3 is worn or has a free gap or an elastic gap, since the spool 3 has a movable gap relative to the piston assembly, the spool 3 can be offset under the action of the pressure and be pressed and sealed with the transition conversion seat which can slightly float, so as to ensure the sealing of the high pressure channel and the low pressure channel, and thus the automatic compensation effect after wear is achieved.
[0085] Further, the small valve mechanism 26 is in communication with the adapter 9, and the small valve mechanism 26 can generate axial movement, i.e., when the valve core has not reached the left or right movement end point, the small valve mechanism 26 has been pressed closed by the end face of the valve core 3, so as to further play a buffering role;
[0086] A sensor 27 can also be installed on the left and right valve covers to monitor the position of the valve core. The sensor 27 is preferably a magnetic sensor.
[0087] As shown in the drawings, the valve core driving mechanism 10 is electric, and the valve core driving mechanism 10 comprises a rotary screw driving mechanism 100 composed of a screw 101, a rotating mechanism 102, and a nut 103. Figure 5 A valve core hole 31 is formed at the axial center position of the valve core 3, which is preferably an elongated hole, a rounded rectangular hole, or a square hole. The nut 103 is installed in the valve core hole 31 and is bound in the valve core hole 31. The nut 103 cannot rotate in the valve core hole 31 but can move radially. The nut 103 is axially bound in the valve core hole 31. One end of the screw 101 of the rotary screw driving mechanism 100 is connected to the rotating mechanism 102, and the other end cooperates with the nut 103.
