[0002] The multi-way valve in a diesel engine is a key control component in the hydraulic system. It is mainly used to manage and distribute the flow of hydraulic oil to different actuators. The multi-way valve is composed of multiple directional valves, usually including 2-3 three-position valves. Each valve controls a double-acting hydraulic cylinder. Some models (such as Danfoss PVG32) support proportional control and can be adapted to load-sensitive systems to achieve precise flow regulation. Through proper selection and standardized operation, the multi-way valve can significantly improve the reliability and operating efficiency of the diesel engine hydraulic system.

[0003] However, in actual operation, the inventors found the following problems: In many engineering machinery and equipment using diesel engines, multi-way valves are used to control the actions of multiple actuators. The accuracy and safety of their operation are crucial. When the equipment stops working, the multi-way valve's control lever lacks an effective locking mechanism to ensure that the multi-way valve remains in a safe position. Accidental contact with the control lever can cause the equipment to start unexpectedly, which may lead to safety accidents and poses a certain degree of danger.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a multi-way valve for diesel engines with a self-locking device. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 A multi-way valve for a diesel engine with a self-locking device includes a multi-way valve body 1, an operating component 2, a self-locking component 3, and a locking component 4. The operating component 2 includes a connector 201, a control lever 202, and a limiting ring 203. The self-locking component 3 is provided on the surface of the control lever 202. The self-locking component 3 includes an arc-shaped mounting block 301 and an arc-shaped mounting block 302. The outer arc surface of the control lever 202 is fitted with the arc-shaped mounting block 301 and the arc-shaped mounting block 302. A connecting rod 305 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped mounting block 301. A fixing plate 306 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting rod 305. Two sets of fixing plates 307 are fixedly connected to the side of the fixing plate 306. A plug-in shell 308 is fixedly connected to the side of each of the two sets of fixing plates 307. A spring 3 is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the plug-in shell 308. 09. A locking ball 310 is fixedly installed on the other side of the spring 309. When the control lever 202 is vertically reset, the control lever 202 drives the connecting rod 305 fixedly connected to the arc-shaped mounting block 301 to move the fixing plate 307 fixedly connected to the side fixing plate 306. At the same time, the fixing plate 307 controls the movement of the plug shell 308. During the movement, the plug shell 308 comes into contact with the locking post 402 on the side of the locking post 402. During the contact process, the locking ball 310 drives the spring 309 to contract until the locking ball 310 enters the engagement groove 403 opened in the locking post 402 and forms a lock under the action of the elastic potential energy of the spring 309, thus completing the self-locking. During the entire operation, the accidental movement of the control lever caused by equipment vibration, accidental touch by personnel, etc. is effectively avoided, thereby maximizing the safety of operation.

[0021] The multi-way valve body 1 has a locking component 4 on its side. The locking component 4 includes a connecting arm 401, a locking post 402 and a locking groove 403. The connecting arm 401 is fixedly connected to the side of the multi-way valve body 1, and the locking post 402 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting arm 401. The top and bottom of the locking post 402 are respectively provided with locking grooves 403, and a locking ball 310 is fitted inside the locking groove 403.

[0022] The multi-way valve body 1 has a connector 201 on its side. The connector 201 is internally connected to a control lever 202. The control lever 202 is controlled by the connector 201, which is existing technology and therefore not described in detail.

[0023] Among them, two sets of limiting rings 203 are fixedly installed on the surface of the control lever 202, and arc-shaped mounting block 1 301 and arc-shaped mounting block 2 302 are attached to the opposite sides of the two sets of limiting rings 203.

[0024] Among them, the outer arc surfaces of arc-shaped mounting block 1 301 and arc-shaped mounting block 2 302 are fixedly connected to two sets of extension plates 304. Both sets of extension plates 304 are provided with screw grooves, and the screw grooves are internally threaded with fastening screws 303. Through the two sets of extension plates 304 on the outer arc surfaces of arc-shaped mounting block 1 301 and arc-shaped mounting block 2 302, the fastening screws 303 and two sets of limit rings 203 form a locking linkage with the operating lever 202. In this way, when the self-locking component 3 is damaged, it can be removed and replaced by fastening screws 303.

[0025] Among them, the arc-shaped mounting block 301 and the arc-shaped mounting block 302 have the same shape characteristics.

[0026] Working principle: The two sets of extension plates 304 on the outer arc surfaces of the arc-shaped mounting block 1 301 and arc-shaped mounting block 2 302 are connected by fastening screws 303 and two sets of limiting rings 203 to form a locking linkage with the operating lever 202. When the operating lever 202 is vertically reset, it drives the connecting rod 305 fixedly connected to the arc-shaped mounting block 1 301 to move the fixing plate 2 307 fixedly connected to the side fixing plate 306. At the same time, the fixing plate 2 307 controls the movement of the plug shell 308. During the movement, the plug shell 308 comes into contact with the locking post 402 on the side of the locking post 402. During the contact, the locking ball 310 drives the spring 309 to contract until the locking ball 310 enters the locking groove 403 opened in the locking post 402 and forms a lock under the elastic potential energy of the spring 309, thus completing the self-locking.
