[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a valve core with a valve stem 4 positioning structure includes: a valve core sleeve 1, the valve core sleeve 1 having at least one first opening 2, the valve core sleeve 1 also having a rotating hole 3, a valve stem 4 rotatably disposed in the rotating hole 3, a stationary plate 5 disposed in the valve core sleeve 1, a movable plate 6 rotatably disposed between the stationary plate 5 and the valve stem 4, at least one lever 7 for actuating the movable plate 6 disposed on the valve stem 4, a double limiting device disposed between the valve stem 4 and the first opening 2, and a first sealing ring 8 disposed at the bottom of the valve core sleeve 1 to prevent the stationary plate 5 from falling off and to enhance the sealing performance.

[0032] To facilitate the positioning of the valve stem 4, the dual limiting device includes: an abutting block 9 on the valve stem 4 that abuts against the valve core sleeve 1, and a positioning pin 10 on the valve stem 4, the positioning pin 10 abutting against the bottom of the first opening 2;

[0033] The abutting block 9 abuts against the valve core sleeve 1 to prevent the valve stem 4 from moving upwards, and the positioning pin 10 abuts against the bottom of the first opening 2 to prevent the valve stem 4 from moving downwards. When the valve stem 4 rotates, the positioning pin 10 will also abut against the left and right sides of the first opening 2. Therefore, the manufacturer can control the angle at which the valve stem 4 can rotate by controlling the opening angle of the first opening 2, thereby controlling the moving plate 6 to be fully open or fully closed.

[0034] In order to increase the inflow and outflow of water and enhance the positioning stability of the valve stem 4, there are two first openings 2, and the positioning pin 10 is provided through the valve stem 4 and abuts against the two first openings 2.

[0035] To facilitate the positioning of the stationary plate 5, a positioning device is provided between the stationary plate 5 and the valve core sleeve 1. The positioning device includes: at least one protrusion 11 on the valve core sleeve 1, and a groove 12 on the stationary plate 5 that engages with the protrusion 11.

[0036] There are two protrusions 11 and two grooves 12 to enhance stability;

[0037] During production, a punch press is used to directly punch the outer side of the valve core sleeve 1 to make it concave inward to form a protrusion 11. Compared with the previous snap-fit ​​structure, this further reduces the production difficulty of the valve core sleeve 1.

[0038] To enhance the strength of the valve core and facilitate stamping, a stabilizing ring platform 13 with matching paddle block 7 is provided on the upper side of the valve core sleeve 1.

[0039] To facilitate valve core installation, the valve core sleeve 1 is provided with a connecting thread 14 on the outside, and a limiting block 15 is also provided on the outside of the valve core sleeve 1 to prevent excessive tightening. A third sealing ring is also provided between the connecting thread 14 and the limiting block 15.

[0040] In order to enhance the strength of the first sealing ring 8 and prevent it from deforming and affecting the seal, an annular groove 16 is provided in the first sealing ring 8, and a support net 17 for enhancing the stability of the first sealing ring 8 is provided in the annular groove 16; the support net 17 is a rigid plastic support net.

[0041] To enhance sealing, a number of fourth sealing rings 18 are provided on the valve stem 4 between the valve stem 4 and the rotating hole 3;

[0042] The first sealing ring 8, the third sealing ring, and the fourth sealing ring 18 are all rubber rings or silicone rings.

[0043] To enhance sealing, the first sealing ring 8 is also provided with a limiting ring platform 19 that abuts against the bottom of the valve core sleeve 1.

[0044] To facilitate the installation of the valve core, the valve core sleeve 1 is also provided with a rotating block 20 that is easy to twist.

[0045] Working principle: During production, a pin hole is first drilled on the valve stem 4, then the valve stem 4 is installed on the valve core sleeve 1, and the positioning pin 10 is installed in the pin hole. The positioning pin 10 and the pin hole are interference fit, so that the positioning pin 10 abuts against the first opening 2. At this time, the moving plate 6, the stationary plate 5 and the first sealing ring 8 are installed in sequence.

[0046] When in use, the user rotates the valve stem 4, which drives the moving plate 6 to rotate, thereby opening or closing the water outlet channel. When the positioning pin 10 abuts against the left or right side of the first opening 2, the water outlet channel is fully open or fully closed. Example 2

[0047] Based on the technical solution of Embodiment 1, such as Figure 6-9 As shown, it can also be used in a water distribution valve. The valve core sleeve 21 is provided with at least one second opening 23 on the lower side of the first opening 22, and a second sealing ring 24 is provided between the first opening 22 and the second opening 23.

[0048] The second opening 23 corresponds to the position on the stationary plate for fluid outflow.

[0049] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions above are only illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications may be made to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
