Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model patent relates to a preselection valve. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the pre-selection valves on the market are installed in the cab and used to switch the two-position five-way valve of the transmission to perform gear shifting. The sensitivity of the pre-selection valve in switching between high and low gears and whether it leaks air often determines whether the transmission shifting function works reliably, affecting the driving experience of commercial vehicles and also affecting the safety of the driver.
[0003] The steel ball of the preselection valve on existing heavy trucks has high friction with the upper end of the valve core assembly, which easily causes wear and jamming, posing a danger to driving.
[0004] The first steel ball and valve core groove do not roll and become stuck, causing forced wear on the inner arc groove of the plastic lever; the split bushing is prone to leakage problems caused by missing parts or improper assembly, and the split installation has poor stability; the valve body has many steps in the inner hole, many processing steps, high dimensional control requirements, and many through holes for assembling the bushing sealing ring, which increases the assembly difficulty and is also easy to damage the O-ring; the valve body has a large allowance in inner wall thickness, which poses a risk of die-casting sand holes; there are no positioning steps at the installation points of the two outer circular sealing rings, which poses a risk of leakage due to misalignment during assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the sealing ring, the inner diameter of the first sealing ring groove, and the inner diameter of the second sealing ring groove are the same.
[0013] Furthermore, the quick-connect assembly is locked to the valve chamber by screws.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer sides of the two sealing rings make sealing contact with the inner wall of the valve cavity.
[0015] Furthermore, the other end of the gear shift button is located on the outside of the housing.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by adding a second steel ball to achieve rolling friction, the wear of the first steel ball and valve core assembly is reduced, and the service life is improved; by improving the valve cavity, the first sealing ring groove and the second sealing ring groove, the sealing ring is reliably positioned; at the same time, the integral molding of the valve sleeve assembly and the valve core assembly improves the strength and plays a good guiding role in the up and down movement of the valve core assembly; finally, the service life is further improved and the risk of air leakage is greatly reduced.
