[0002] Multi-port valves use a ball to switch between multiple fluid channels by rotating, thereby controlling the merging, splitting, and direction of fluid flow. As the ball rotates, the connection between its channels and the pipeline changes, enabling different fluid control functions.

[0003] Meanwhile, a four-way ball valve with announcement number CN206159547U is disclosed, which includes an H-shaped valve body and an H-shaped water channel inside the valve body. The H-shaped water channel is composed of a left vertical water channel, a right vertical water channel and a horizontal water channel that are interconnected. The two ends of the left vertical water channel are respectively set as the inlet end and the first outlet end, and the two ends of the right vertical water channel are respectively set as the second outlet end and the third outlet end. The first outlet end is provided with a two-way ball valve core that can be rotated to open and close, and a three-way ball valve core that can be rotated to open and close is provided at the intersection of the horizontal water channel and the right vertical water channel.

[0004] In the use of the aforementioned four-way ball valve, the multi-pipe structure design will be set up as a multi-directional pipe outlet structure when connecting multiple pipes. When connecting multiple pipes, the installation of the ball valve body will require installation in multiple directions. In narrow spaces, it will occupy more installation space, and the multi-port structure is difficult to disassemble, making subsequent replacement and maintenance operations inconvenient.

The opening and closing of the ball valve body 1 is controlled by the handle 2. The other end of the connecting pipe 3 also includes a...

[0027] The multi-pipe assembly 4 includes a curved pipe 41 connected to the connecting pipe 3. The addition of the curved pipe 41 provides space for the installation of multiple pipes 43. The lower outlet end of the curved pipe 41 is spirally provided with an interface end 44. The top of the interface end 44 is connected to a vertical pipe 42. The outside of the vertical pipe 42 is connected to multiple pipes 43. Different switch pipes are connected to the outside of the multiple pipes 43. After tightening and fixing, the connection control can be performed to open and close. The top of the interface end 44 is spirally provided with a hexagonal mounting pipe 45.

The added flexible hose 46 can be used with the interface end 47 for convenient connection operation.

[0028] In this embodiment, the outlet ends of the multiple pipes 43 are all threaded on the outside, and there are four multiple pipes 43. The hose 46 is made of plastic, and the connection structures at both ends of the hose 46 are made of stainless steel. The four multiple pipes 43 can connect multiple pipes, and the stainless steel connection structure prevents corrosion.

[0029] A circular tube 5 is fixedly installed at the center of the curved tube 41. A screw sleeve 6 is spirally installed inside the circular tube 5. A rotating shaft 9 is rotatably installed inside the screw sleeve 6. A baffle 12 that fits against the screw sleeve 6 is fixedly installed at the other end of the rotating shaft 9. A cleaning scraper 13 that fits against the inner wall of the connecting tube 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the baffle 12 inside the connecting tube 3. The cleaning scraper 13 is controlled to rotate inside the connecting tube 3 by the rotating shaft 9 to clean the accumulated impurities. A fixing block 7 that fits against the circular tube 5 is fixedly installed on the outside of the screw sleeve 6. A pin 8 that fits into the circular tube 5 is inserted into the inside of the fixing block 7. A circular plate 11 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 9.

[0030] The working principle and process of a multi-port valve ball:

[0031] Install the ball valve body 1 onto the pipe end, and fix the connecting pipe 3 on the other side of the multi-pipe assembly 4 through a flange. Install the multi-pipe assembly 4 from interface end one 44 and interface end two 47 to the two interface ends of the curved pipe 41 respectively, and connect the switch pipe to the outside of the thread of the multi-pipe 43 for positioning. Control the water flow direction by opening or closing the switch pipe connected to the multi-pipe 43. At the same time, the vertical pipe 42 can be disassembled by disassembling the interface end two 47 structure at the top of the hose 46. The operation is convenient. During use, the operator can periodically rotate the rotating shaft 9 structure located in the screw sleeve 6 inside the round pipe 5. The rotating shaft 9 controls the baffle 12 and cleaning scraper 13 at the other end to quickly clean the connecting pipe 3. In conjunction with the spring 10 on the outside of the round plate 11, the baffle 12 is pressed tightly against the end of the screw sleeve 6 to seal it. The water pressure presses the baffle 12 to prevent water leakage.
