Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of directional valve technology, and in particular to a four-way directional valve guide frame. Background Technology
[0002] Four-way directional valves are key components in refrigeration, air conditioning, and hydraulic systems, functioning to switch system modes by changing the direction of fluid flow. The guide bracket, as one of the core components of the four-way directional valve, plays a crucial role in connecting the piston assembly, transmitting motion, and bearing alternating loads. Traditional guide brackets often employ simple plate structures or single-bend designs, meaning the traditional connection is fixed only by a single-sided bending plate. Under long-term, high-frequency operation, stress concentration can easily lead to deformation or breakage in the bending area, affecting valve sealing and service life.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a guide frame structure that combines high strength, high stability and long service life to meet the reliability requirements under complex working conditions. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the existing related technologies. To this end, the present invention proposes a four-way reversing valve guide frame.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A four-way directional valve guide frame includes a plate-shaped frame. Connecting portions for connecting a four-way directional valve piston assembly are provided at both ends of the frame. Each connecting portion includes an upwardly bent left plate and a downwardly bent right plate. A bending notch is provided between the left and right bent plates. The frame also includes a reinforcing member, which comprises a left reinforcing plate, a connecting fixing portion, and a right reinforcing plate connected in sequence. The left reinforcing plate is fitted to the inner side of the left bent plate, and the right reinforcing plate is fitted to the outer side of the right bent plate. The connecting fixing portion is inserted into the bending notch, and the outer wall surface of the left bent plate is flush with the outer wall surface of the right reinforcing plate.
[0007] In some embodiments, the left reinforcing plate, the connecting fixing part, and the right reinforcing plate are integrally formed.
[0008] In some embodiments, the left bending plate and the left reinforcing plate are each provided with a first connecting hole, and the right bending plate and the right reinforcing plate are each provided with a second connecting hole.
[0009] In some embodiments, both the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are provided with internal threads.
[0010] In some embodiments, a slider groove and two flow channel holes are provided on the frame.
[0011] In some embodiments, upwardly bent folded edge plates are provided on both sides of the frame.
[0012] In some embodiments, a pressure plate is provided on the folded edge plate and on one side of the slider groove, and the upper end of the pressure plate extends obliquely inward.
[0013] In some embodiments, the compression plate is formed by opening two slots at intervals on the folded edge plate.
[0014] In some embodiments, the connecting portion and the reinforcing member are fixed by welding.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. The reinforcing member adopts a split-fit design with left and right reinforcing plates. The left reinforcing plate is fitted to the inside of the left bending plate, and the right reinforcing plate is fitted to the outside of the right bending plate, forming an "inner and outer clamping" effect, which greatly enhances the bending stiffness of the connection.
[0017] 2. At the same time, the fixing part is inserted into the bent notch and integrated with the reinforcing plates on both sides, which optimizes the stress transmission path, avoids local stress concentration, and improves the overall fatigue resistance.
[0018] 3. The interlocking fit between the reinforcing member and the bent notch further constrains the deformation of the connection, enhances the structural rigidity, and reduces vibration and noise;
[0019] 4. The outer wall of the left bending plate is flush with the outer wall of the right reinforcing plate to ensure a flat contact surface with the piston assembly, reduce assembly clearance, avoid movement deviation, and improve guiding accuracy.
[0020] 5. By strengthening the distribution of loads, the risk of cracking in the bending area is significantly reduced, the service life of the guide frame is extended, and the downtime maintenance costs caused by component failure are reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Meanwhile, the fixing part 8 is inserted into the bent notch 5 and integrated with the reinforcing plates on both sides, which optimizes the stress transmission path, avoids local stress concentration, and improves the overall fatigue resistance.
[0029] The insertion and mating of the reinforcing member 6 and the bent notch 8 further constrains the deformation of the connection part, enhances the structural rigidity, and reduces vibration and noise.
[0030] The outer wall of the left bending plate 3 is flush with the outer wall of the right reinforcing plate 9 to ensure a flat contact surface with the piston assembly, reduce assembly gaps, avoid movement deviation, and improve guiding accuracy.

When the slider assembly (not shown in the figure) is placed in the slider groove 51, the slider assembly can be clamped inward by the pressure plate 71, thereby improving the stability of the slider assembly after installation.
[0039] Furthermore, the pressing plate 71 is formed by opening two slots 81 at intervals on the folded edge plate 61.
