Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of multi-port water valves, and in particular relates to a valve core structure for a multi-port water valve. Background Technology
[0002] A multi-port water valve is a valve device equipped with multiple inlets and outlets, specifically designed for systems requiring water flow diversion or merging. This innovative valve structure endows it with excellent water flow control capabilities, allowing for flexible adjustment of water flow direction and distribution according to different application scenarios, thereby meeting diverse water demand. New energy vehicle batteries are temperature-sensitive and require precise temperature control; motors and electronic control systems generate a large amount of heat during operation, requiring effective heat dissipation; and the thermal management system of new energy vehicles also needs to monitor the heating and cooling of the passenger compartment. However, multi-port water valves still have the following drawbacks in practical use:
[0003] During the operation of the water valve, the internal valve core is directly installed inside the valve body. Over a long period of operation, the valve core will wear down the sealing structure after rotating, causing a decrease in the stability of the valve core's rotation inside the valve body and affecting the durability of the valve core.
[0004] Secondly, when connecting different interfaces, different valve cores need to be operated separately to connect the corresponding number of interfaces. During operation, the applicable operation for connecting different interfaces is not convenient. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a valve core structure for a multi-port water valve. By setting a valve shell, a valve core, and a fixed shaft, it solves the problems that the valve core structure of a multi-port water valve will wear down the sealing structure after rotation, causing a decrease in the stability of the valve core rotation in the valve shell, and the valve core structure is not convenient for operation to connect different interfaces.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a valve core structure for a multi-port water valve, comprising a valve housing, a valve core, and a fixed shaft. A turntable is rotatably connected to the bottom of the valve housing, and the valve core is movably connected to the outside of the turntable. A fixed shaft is fixed to the bottom of the valve core. A vertical straight-flow channel is opened at the front periphery of the valve core. After dividing the periphery of the valve core into eleven equal parts from a top-view perspective, the lower periphery of the valve core, starting from the vertical straight-flow channel, sequentially opens a horizontal flow channel, a square flow channel, a sealing section consisting of a square flow channel span, and a horizontal... The valve core has three flow channels: a horizontal flow channel, a horizontal flow channel, and a square flow channel. Starting with a vertical straight flow channel on the upper part of the valve core, a square flow channel is opened counterclockwise in sequence: a sealing section with three square flow channel widths, a horizontal flow channel, a sealing section with one square flow channel width, a square flow channel, a sealing section with one square flow channel width, and a square flow channel. During operation, the valve core is installed in the valve body. As the valve core rotates, the connection port connected to the valve core changes. The fixed shaft rotates, driving the valve core to rotate, so that the different connection ports on the valve body are connected.
[0008] Furthermore, a sealing sleeve is fixed on the inner wall of the valve housing, and the sealing sleeve extends through the top of the valve housing. The front side of the valve housing has a connection port in a rectangular array of two rows and three columns, and the connection port extends through the periphery of the sealing sleeve. The sealing sleeve on the valve housing seals the gap between the valve core and the valve housing.
[0009] Furthermore, the valve shell top of the outer side of the sealing sleeve has mounting screw holes arranged in a ring array, and three movable arms are fixed in a ring array around the circumference of the turntable. The mounting screw holes on the sealing sleeve are used to install the sealing cover and other structures.
[0010] Furthermore, a movable port is provided at the center of the bottom end of the valve core, and the turntable is movably connected to the movable port. The movable port on the valve core is movably connected to the turntable.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom end of the valve core on the outer side of the movable port is provided with slots in a circular array, and the movable arm is movably connected in the slots to stabilize the position of the valve core in the valve body.
[0012] Furthermore, a splined shaft is fixed to the top of the fixed shaft, and the splined shaft extends out of the top of the valve housing. After the splined shaft on the fixed shaft is engaged with the output shaft of the drive structure, when the drive structure rotates, it drives the fixed shaft and the valve core to rotate inside the valve housing.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention solves the problem of reduced stability of the valve core rotation within the valve housing caused by wear on the sealing structure after the valve core rotates in multi-port water valves, by setting up a valve housing, valve core, and fixed shaft. When installing the valve core inside the valve housing, the bottom end of the valve core is aligned with the sealing sleeve at the top of the valve housing. After the valve core is inserted into the sealing sleeve, it is moved downwards until its bottom end contacts the top of the turntable at the bottom of the valve housing. The valve core is then rotated and pressed downwards. When the movable port at the bottom of the valve core aligns with the turntable, and the slot aligns with the movable arm, the movable arm engages in the slot, and the turntable engages in the movable port. This ensures the stability of the valve core rotation within the valve housing, preventing wear on the sealing structure after the valve core rotates in the multi-port water valve.
[0015] This invention solves the problem of inconvenient operation of multi-port water valves by setting a valve shell and valve core, which are not suitable for connecting different interfaces. After rotating the spline shaft, the fixed shaft and valve core are driven to rotate. After the valve core rotates, the vertical straight flow channel, horizontal flow channel and square flow channel on the periphery of the valve core correspond to the different connection ports on the valve shell, so that the different connection ports are connected to the valve shell to complete the work. This makes the valve core structure of the multi-port water valve suitable for connecting different interfaces. Attached Figure Description
