The end of the shaft component 40 away from the valve core assembly 30 is connected with the end of the output gear 123 facing the second cavity 2012.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 , further, the multi-way valve further includes a press ring component 81, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the output gear 123 and is in threaded connection with the valve body assembly 20.

Moreover, the above arrangement enables the bearing part 50 to be quickly and accurately positioned to the predetermined position of the valve body assembly 20 during assembly, ensures the positional accuracy of the bearing part 50 and the valve body assembly 20 in the axial direction of the bearing part 50, improves the convenience and accuracy during the formation of the mounting groove 01, simplifies the assembly process, and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, a limiting structure 71 is arranged between the bearing part 50 and the valve body assembly 20, which limits the movement of the bearing part 50 relative to the valve body assembly 20 in the direction from the mounting cavity 201 to the communication cavity 202. In this way, the bearing part 50 can accurately reach the predetermined position during assembly, improving the convenience of the assembly process of the multi-way valve.

The shape of the second stepped structure on the outer side wall of the bearing component 50 is adapted to the shape of the first stepped structure.

[0056] Further, a limiting portion 72 is arranged on the valve body assembly 20, the limiting portion 72 is in limiting cooperation with the bearing component 50, and the limiting portion 72 limits the movement of the bearing component 50 relative to the valve body assembly 20 in the direction from the communicating cavity 202 to the mounting cavity 201.

The bushing is in interference fit with the valve body assembly 20, and is pressed into the second cavity 2012 of the valve body assembly 20 during assembly, so as to limit the axial movement of the bushing, stabilize the positions of the first bearing 52 and the second bearing 53, and improve the fixation of the bearing component 50 and the rotating shaft component 40 in the axial direction.

[0070] Further, the end face of the first bearing 52 away from the sealing part 60 is flush with the end face of the first section away from the second section. Moreover, the end of the bushing close to the first bearing 52 is in abutting fit with the end face of the bearing seat 51 and the outer ring of the first bearing 52, respectively.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present scheme, the second bearing 53 is a thrust bearing, i.e., the second bearing 53 has an axle and a seat, at this time, the bearing component 50 does not comprise the support 54.

At the same time, it should be understood that the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn in accordance with the actual proportional relationship. The technology, methods and devices known to those skilled in the related art can not be discussed in detail, but should be considered as part of the specification under appropriate circumstances. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific value should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments can have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so further discussion is not needed in subsequent drawings once an item is defined in one drawing.

[0080] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and in the absence of contrary statements, these orientation words do not indicate and imply that the indicated device or element must have a particular orientation or be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application; the orientation words "inner, outer" refer to the inner and outer of the contour of each component itself.

[0081] For purposes of the description hereinafter, spatial relative terms, such as "above", "below", "upper", "lower", and the like, can be used to describe the relative position of one element or feature to another as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientations depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "above" or "up" other elements or features would then be oriented "below" or "down" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device can be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

[0082] In addition, it should be noted that the use of "first", "second", and the like words of distinction do not connote any meaning of importance, but are used only to distinguish one element from another, and are used in the context of this application only for ease of description. Thus, the use of such terms is not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
