When the existing reversing valve is used for reversing, leakage easily occurs between the valve core 1 and the inner cavity of the valve body 20, so that the use reliability of the reversing valve is affected.
In order to solve this problem, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 7 to 8, the reversing valve provided in this embodiment further includes a reversing valve leakage preventing structure provided between the other end of the valve element 1 and the side wall of the main body 2 corresponding thereto.
Because one end of the valve core 1 is a supporting end, the other end of the valve core 1 is a switching end, the switching end can change relative to the position of the main body 2, the position of the switching end of the valve core 1 is easy to leak media, a reversing valve leakage prevention structure is arranged between the other end of the valve core 1 and the side wall of the main body 2 corresponding to the reversing valve leakage prevention structure, and the reversing valve leakage prevention structure is used for sealing between the switching end of the valve core 1 and the main body 2 so as to reduce the leakage risk of the valve core 1.
Specifically, the reversing valve leak-proof structure includes an oil storage structure provided on a side of the main body 2 facing the switching end of the spool 1 and disposed in correspondence with the switching end of the spool 1, the oil storage structure being configured to store at least part of a medium of the inner cavity of the main body 2 to form an oil film between the switching end of the spool 1 and the main body 2 for oil sealing and lubrication of the spool 1.
According to the anti-leakage structure of the reversing valve, the oil storage structure is arranged in the main body 2, so that a medium in the inner cavity of the main body 2 can be at least partially stored in the oil storage structure, the oil storage structure faces one side of the switching end of the valve core 1 and is correspondingly arranged with the switching end of the valve core, the medium in the oil storage structure can flow between the switching end of the valve core 1 and the main body 2 to form an oil film between the switching end and the main body 2, the effect of an oil seal is achieved, the leakage of a high-pressure medium in the main body 2 into a low-pressure cavity of the valve core 1 is reduced, meanwhile, the lubrication effect between the valve core 1 and the main body 2 can be increased, and the use reliability of the reversing valve is improved.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 7-8, the oil reservoir structure of the reversing valve leakage preventing structure is provided at the side of the end cap 25 facing the spool 1.
Because one end of the valve core 1 corresponds to the first flow port 201, the other end of the valve core 1 corresponds to the second flow port 202 and the third flow port 203, the other end of the valve core 1 is a switching end, and the second flow port 202 and the third flow port 203 can be switched between, and the second flow port 202 and the third flow port 203 are arranged on the end cover 25, and the oil storage structure is arranged on one side of the end cover 25 facing the valve core 1, so that the oil storage structure corresponds to the switching end of the valve core 1, and leakage of the valve core 1 during switching is reduced.
In one embodiment, the oil storage structure is an oil guide groove provided in the main body 2.
Because the inner cavity of the main body 2 is provided with the high-pressure medium, the side wall of the main body 2 is provided with the oil guide groove, the oil guide groove can accommodate and guide at least part of the high-pressure medium, and an oil film can be formed between the valve core 1 and the main body 2 by utilizing the high-pressure medium, so that the structure is simple, and the oil seal effect is obvious.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and 8-10, the oil storage structure includes a first oil guiding groove 252, and the first oil guiding groove 252 is disposed on a side of the end cover 25 facing the valve element 1.
The number of the first oil guiding grooves 252 is two, and the two first oil guiding grooves 252 are respectively and correspondingly arranged outside the second flow port 202 and outside the third flow port 203 in a surrounding manner.
It is to be understood that two first oil guiding grooves 252 are disposed corresponding to the second flow port 202 and the third flow port 203, respectively, wherein one first oil guiding groove 252 is annularly disposed outside the second flow port 202, the other first oil guiding groove 252 is annularly disposed outside the third flow port 203, and the first oil guiding groove 252 can accommodate and guide the medium.
When the switching end of the valve core 1 rotates to a position communicated with the second flow port 202, one first oil guiding groove 252 provides a medium for the circumference of the valve core 1, and when the switching end of the valve core 1 rotates to a position communicated with the third flow port 203, the other first oil guiding groove 252 provides a medium for the circumference of the valve core 1, so that an oil sealing effect of the valve core 1 in the position switching process is ensured.
Specifically, the two first oil guiding grooves 252 are communicated through linear grooves, so that a medium in one first oil guiding groove 252 enters the other first oil guiding groove 252 through the linear grooves, the number of the linear grooves is multiple, and the linear grooves are arranged at intervals in parallel.
It should be noted that, since the second flow port 202 and the third flow port 203 are both circular hole structures, the first oil guiding groove 252 is a circular groove structure, and the diameter of the first oil guiding groove 252 is slightly larger than the diameters of the second flow port 202 and the third flow port 203.
If the reversing valve needs reversing, friction is easy to occur between the valve core 1 and the valve body 20 or other parts, so that the valve core 1 has larger back pressure, the valve core 1 receives larger resistance, the reversing torque of the reversing valve is increased, and the use reliability of the reversing valve is affected.
To solve this problem, as shown in fig. 2 and 11 to 13, the leakage preventing structure of the reversing valve further includes a gasket 3, and the gasket 3 is disposed between one end of the valve body 1 near the end cover 25 and the end cover 25.
Because the end of the valve core 1 away from the first flow port 201 corresponds to the end cover 25, an axial gap is arranged between the end of the valve core 1 close to the end cover 25 and the end cover 25, and the axial gap can reduce the rotational friction resistance between the end of the valve core 1 away from the first flow port 201 and the end cover 25, so that the reversing torque of the reversing valve is reduced.
In order to avoid the need of precisely processing the valve core 1 and the end cover 25 when the axial gap is met, the gasket 3 is arranged between one end, close to the end cover 25, of the valve core 1 and the end cover 25, and the thickness of the gasket 3 is convenient to control, so that the axial gap between the valve core 1 and the end cover 25 can be processed relatively large, and then the gasket 3 with proper thickness is selected according to the actual size, so that the axial gap between the gasket 3 and the valve core 1 meets the requirement.
In this way, the thickness of the gasket 3 is selected according to the gap between the valve core 1 and the end cover 25, so that the processing difficulty of the valve core 1 and the end cover 25 is reduced, and the aim of reducing the production cost is achieved. In addition, even if the valve element 1 and the gasket 3 come into contact with each other due to vibration or the like, the gasket 3 contributes to reduction of friction resistance of the valve element 1.
In one embodiment, an oil film is formed between the switching end of the spool 1 and the shim 3.
After the gasket 3 is installed between the valve core 1 and the end cover 25, the gasket 3 corresponds to the switching end of the valve core 1, the gasket 3 and the end cover 25 are not fixedly arranged, and medium in the first oil guide groove 252 on the end cover 25 can flow onto the side surface of the gasket 3 to form an oil film between the switching end of the valve core 1 and the gasket 3, so that leakage of the valve core 1 is reduced, and meanwhile, the lubrication effect is improved.
In one embodiment, the pad 3 is made of a wear resistant material.
That is, due to vibration and other reasons, the valve core 1 and the gasket 3 may be contacted, and the gasket 3 made of wear-resistant materials is not only beneficial to reducing friction resistance, but also reduces friction loss between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3, and plays a role in prolonging service life.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and 11 to 13, the gasket 3 is provided with two communication holes 31 and a mounting through hole 32, the two communication holes 31 are respectively communicated with the second flow port 202 and the third flow port 203 in correspondence, the mounting through hole 32 is provided between the two communication holes 31, the spool 1 is provided with the rotary shaft 13, and the rotary shaft 13 is provided through the mounting through hole 32.
The two communication holes 31 of the gasket 3 are respectively communicated with the second communication hole 202 and the third communication hole 203, so that the gasket 3 can function as a barrier between the valve element 1 and the end cover 25, but the gasket 3 does not affect the medium flow, and the two communication holes 202 and the third communication hole 203 are communicated with the valve element 1 through the communication holes 31. By providing the mounting through hole 32 between the two communication holes 31, the mounting through hole 32 plays a role of mounting the rotary shaft 13 of the valve element 1, the mounting through hole 32 and the shaft hole are correspondingly arranged, and the rotary shaft 13 penetrates through the mounting through hole 32 and the shaft hole so as to achieve a role of supporting the rotary center of the valve element 1.
It should be noted that, the rotary shaft 13 of the valve core 1 is inserted through the corresponding mounting through hole 32, but the end of the valve core 1 facing the end cover 25 is not inserted through the communication hole 31, otherwise, the valve core 1 is blocked in the communication hole 31, and the valve core 1 is difficult to rotate and reverse, so that a certain axial interval exists between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3, which is beneficial to the rotation and the reverse of the valve core 1.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 14-15, the gasket 3 is provided with a first oil guide through hole 34, and the first oil guide through hole 34 is provided in correspondence with and in communication with the first oil guide groove 252. In this way, the medium in the inner cavity of the valve body 20 can enter the first oil guiding groove 252 through the first oil guiding through hole 34, so as to supplement the medium for the first oil guiding groove 252, or the medium in the first oil guiding groove 252 flows between the gasket 3 and the switching end of the valve core 1 through the first oil guiding through hole 34, so that an oil seal is formed between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3, and the purpose of reducing leakage of the fluid such as the medium entering the valve core 1 through the axial interval between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3 is achieved.
In one embodiment, the number of the first oil guiding through holes 34 is plural, and the plural first oil guiding through holes 34 are respectively disposed along the circumferential direction of the two first oil guiding grooves 252.
The number of the first oil guiding holes 34 is sixteen, the sixteen first oil guiding holes 34 can be divided into two groups, each group is provided with eight first oil guiding holes 34, the two groups respectively correspond to the two first oil guiding grooves 252, so that eight first oil guiding holes 34 correspond to the periphery of each first oil guiding groove 252, and the circulation of medium between the first oil guiding holes 34 and the first oil guiding grooves 252 is improved.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 15-16, the first oil-guiding through hole 34 is at least one of a circular hole structure, an arc-shaped hole, or a kidney-shaped hole. It is to be understood that the shape of the first oil guiding through hole 34 is not limited in this embodiment, and includes, but is not limited to, a circular hole structure, an arc hole, or a kidney hole. When the first oil guiding through hole 34 is an arc hole, the center of the arc hole is collinear with the center of the first oil guiding through hole 34, and the shape of the first oil guiding through hole 34 is matched with the shape of the first oil guiding groove 252, so as to ensure the mutual communication effect of the first oil guiding through hole 34 and the first oil guiding groove 252, thereby further improving the oil sealing effect.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 8-10, the oil storage structure of the reversing valve leakage preventing structure further includes a second oil guiding groove 253, the second oil guiding groove 253 is disposed at one side of the end cover 25 facing the valve core 1, and the second oil guiding groove 253 is disposed outside the two first oil guiding grooves 252. The first oil guiding groove 252 and the second oil guiding groove 253 are communicated through radial grooves.
As shown in fig. 14 and 17, the gasket 3 is provided with a second oil passage hole 35, and the second oil passage hole 35 is provided in correspondence with and in communication with the second oil passage groove 253. The medium in the valve body 20 enters the second oil guiding groove 253 through the second oil guiding through hole 35, and enters the first oil guiding groove 252 through the first oil guiding through hole 34 which does not correspond to the switching end, so that the medium in the second oil guiding groove 253 can flow into the first oil guiding groove 252 through the radial groove, and the function of supplementing the medium is achieved. And the medium in the first oil guiding groove 252 enters between the switching end and the gasket 3 through the first oil guiding through hole 34 corresponding to the switching end, thereby playing roles of oil seal and lubrication.
It can be appreciated that, since the two first oil guiding grooves 252 are spaced apart, the second oil guiding groove 253 has a circular groove structure with a slotted hole structure.
In one embodiment, the number of the second oil guiding grooves 253 is plural, and the plurality of second oil guiding grooves 253 are sleeved with each other. In this way, the arrangement range of the second oil guiding groove 253 in the end cover 25 is increased, so that the plurality of circles of the second oil guiding groove 253 are arranged outside the first oil guiding groove 252 to assist in medium replenishment.
When the number of the second oil guiding grooves 253 is plural, the radial grooves extend into the outermost second oil guiding grooves 253, so that the radial grooves can realize the communication between the first oil guiding grooves 252 and the second oil guiding grooves 253 and simultaneously realize the communication between the adjacent two second oil guiding grooves 253.
If the spool 1 is in the first state, when the switching end of the spool 1 corresponds to the second flow port 202, the medium directly enters the first oil guide groove 252 through the first oil guide through hole 34 corresponding to the third flow port 203. Since the second oil guiding through hole 35 of the gasket 3 corresponds to and is communicated with the second oil guiding groove 253, a medium can directly enter the second oil guiding groove 253 through the second oil guiding through hole 35, and since the first oil guiding groove 252 is communicated with the second oil guiding groove 253 through a radial groove, the medium in the second oil guiding groove 253 enters the first oil guiding groove 252, the two parts of the medium are converged in the first oil guiding groove 252, the first oil guiding groove 252 is communicated with the first oil guiding through hole 34, the medium in the first oil guiding groove 252 enters between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3 through the first oil guiding through hole 34 corresponding to the second flow port 202, an oil seal can be formed between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3 in the first state, and the flow rate of the medium entering the valve core 1 through the axial interval between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3 is reduced, so that the leakage is reduced.
If the spool 1 is in the second state, when the switching end of the spool 1 corresponds to the third flow port 203, the medium directly enters the first oil guide groove 252 through the first oil guide through hole 34 corresponding to the second flow port 202. Since the second oil guiding through hole 35 of the gasket 3 corresponds to and is communicated with the second oil guiding groove 253, a medium can directly enter the second oil guiding groove 253 through the second oil guiding through hole 35, and since the first oil guiding groove 252 is communicated with the second oil guiding groove 253 through a radial groove, the medium in the second oil guiding groove 253 enters the first oil guiding groove 252, the two parts of the medium are converged in the first oil guiding groove 252, the first oil guiding groove 252 is communicated with the first oil guiding through hole 34, the medium in the first oil guiding groove 252 enters between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3 through the first oil guiding through hole 34 corresponding to the third flow opening 203, an oil seal can be formed between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3 in the second state, and the flow of the medium entering the valve core 1 through the axial interval between the valve core 1 and the gasket 3 can be reduced, so that the leakage is reduced.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 11 to 13 and 18, one of the gasket 3 and the side close to each other with the end cap 25 is provided with a positioning projection 251, and the other is provided with a positioning hole 33, and the positioning projection 251 is provided through the positioning hole 33 for positioning between the gasket 3 and the end cap 25.
Specifically, the inner side of the end cover 25 may be provided with a positioning protrusion 251, the gasket 3 is provided with a positioning hole 33 corresponding to the positioning protrusion 251, the positioning protrusion 251 is inserted into the positioning hole 33, and the positioning protrusion 251 and the positioning hole 33 are matched with each other, so that a larger position deviation between the gasket 3 and the end cover 25 is avoided, and a positioning effect is achieved. The number of the positioning protrusions 251 and the positioning holes 33 is plural, and the positioning protrusions 251 are correspondingly disposed in the positioning holes 33.
Wherein, at least two positioning projections 251 are provided corresponding to the second flow port 202 and the third flow port 203 and respectively corresponding to the two communication holes 31 for positioning the switching end of the spool 1. When the valve core 1 is switched between two working states, the positioning protrusion 251 can also position the valve core 1, and plays roles in positioning and blocking the rotation of the valve core 1 so as to ensure the stability of the position of the valve core 1 in different states. When the valve core 1 is abutted against the positioning boss 251 provided corresponding to the second communication port 202, the switching end of the valve core 1 is communicated with the second communication port 202; when the spool 1 collides with the positioning boss 251 provided corresponding to the third flow port 203, the switching end of the spool 1 communicates with the third flow port 203. It can be understood that the positioning protrusion 251 below the communication hole 31 can realize positioning of the valve core 1 and also has a bearing function on the valve core 1, so that the stability of the position of the valve core 1 is further improved.
The positioning protrusion 251 and the positioning hole 33 are not completely locked, and the gasket 3 can move in a direction approaching the end cover 25 under the high pressure of the medium, so that the gasket 3 is closely attached to the end cover 25. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the gasket 3 further includes an adjustment tab 4, the adjustment tab 4 being disposed between the end of the valve spool 1 remote from the end cap 25 and the first flange 21.
In order to avoid the need of precisely processing the valve core 1 and the first flange 21 when the axial gap is met, the adjusting piece 4 is arranged between one end, far away from the end cover 25, of the valve core 1 and the first flange 21, and the thickness of the adjusting piece 4 is convenient to control, so that the axial gap between the valve core 1 and the first flange 21 can be processed relatively large, and then the adjusting piece 4 with proper thickness is selected according to the actual size, so that the axial gap between the adjusting piece 4 and the valve core 1 meets the requirement.
In this way, the thickness of the adjusting piece 4 can be selected according to the gap between the valve core 1 and the first flange 21, so that the processing difficulty of the valve core 1 and the first flange 21 is reduced, and the aim of reducing the production cost is achieved. In addition, even if the valve element 1 and the regulator piece 4 come into contact with each other due to vibration or the like, the regulator piece 4 contributes to reduction of the frictional resistance of the valve element 1.
In one embodiment, the adjusting piece 4 is in a circular ring structure, the center of the adjusting piece 4 is provided with a central hole, and the first flow port 201 is communicated with the first through hole of the first flange 21 through the central hole of the adjusting piece 4, so that the adjusting piece 4 can play a role of blocking between the valve core 1 and the first flange 21, but the adjusting piece 4 cannot influence medium circulation.
