Embodiment
With reference to Fig. 1~Fig. 4, the 1st example of the four-way switching valve that uses spool of the present invention is described.In this example, be that example describes with the situation that four-way switching valve is applied to air conditioner.
As shown in Figure 1, four-way switching valve 2 roughly comprises: valve body 3 cylindraceous; The connection mouth 6 that is communicated with the discharge tube 5 of compressor 4; The connection mouth 8 that is communicated with the suction pipe 7 of compressor 4; In the both sides that clip this connection mouth 8,2 connection mouths 13,14 that are communicated with the conduit 11,12 that leads to heat exchanger 9,10; And have these connection mouths 8,13,14, and slide the valve seat 16 of bowl-shape spool 1 is arranged, spool 1 slides on valve seat 16, thereby selectively discharge tube 5 is connected with one of conduit 11 or conduit 12.
Valve body 3 forms and is fixed with the cylindric of key 3a, 3b at two end part, is formed with connection mouth 6 at the upside of valve body 3, and linking on connection mouth 6 has the discharge tube 5 that is connected with compressor 4.Link suction pipe 7 that compressor 4 is arranged and the conduit 11,12 that leads to heat exchanger 9,10 at the downside of valve body, on the valve seat 16 of the inside of valve body 3, be equipped with the connection mouth 8,13,14 of these conduits etc.
And, in the inside of valve body 3, between valve seat 16 and key 3a, be provided with piston 17, between valve seat 16 and key 3b, be provided with piston 18, between piston 17,18, be formed with hyperbaric chamber 20.Piston 17,18 is by web 19 one binding movably.And, formed operating chamber 21 between piston 17 and key 3a, and between piston 18 and key 3b formed operating chamber 22, switch pilot valve 25 by conduit 23,24 and four-way and link.Four-way switches pilot valve 25 and is installed between the operating chamber 21,22, thereby constitutes when any one of operating chamber 21,22 is communicated with discharge tube 5 by conduit 26, and another operating chamber is passed through conduit 27 and is communicated with suction pipe 7.
On the valve seat 16 of the inside of valve body 3, be provided with and have the bowl-shape spool 1 that is communicated with the lip part 1b of recess (fluid passage) 1a and ring-type.Spool 1 gently is entrenched in the hole 19a of web 19.Thus, spool 1 is along with piston 17,18 slides on valve seat 16 along moving of the left and right directions of Fig. 1, any one of connection mouth 13,14 of connection mouth 8 and the heat exchange pusher side of its both sides of the low voltage side of the suction pipe 7 that is connected with compressor 4 is communicated with, and the opening portion of another heat exchange pusher side is opened to hyperbaric chamber 20.
As shown in Figure 2, spool 1 comprises: whole by the synthetic resin molding and forming, have at the connection of inside bowl-shaped body 1c with the lip part 1b of recess 1a and ring-type; Constitute, have pole (rod member) 1d of the lip part 1f of rectangle in the two ends one by metal; And as the leaf spring 1e that main body 1c is crimped onto the pushing member on the valve seat 16.By the lip part 1f at two ends being pressed into the stepped part 1g of main body 1c, and will embed the recess 1i of main body 1c, make pole 1d set up the facial 1j of the opening end that becomes to cross main body 1c near the facial 1j of opening end from the outstanding projection 1h of the outer side surface of lip part 1f.Leaf spring 1e forms and overlooks rectangular ring-type, and two end part contact with the upper surface of the lip part 1b of main body 1c.The part of the inboard, two end part of leaf spring 1e bulges into platform shape, reaches its upper surface and web 19 butts and crooked state downwards, and main body 1c is crimped on the valve seat 16.
And, shown in Fig. 2 (c), (d), in the lip part 1b of spool 1, outer circumferential face along the axially outstanding part of pole 1d (below be called " protuberance ") 1k is projected into the position close with the internal face 3c of valve body 3, shown in Fig. 2 (d), its outer circumferential face has radius of curvature R 1 radius of curvature R 2 about equally with the internal face 3c of valve body 3.Thus, gap a between the internal face 3c of the lower end of protuberance 1k and valve body 3, and the gap a ' between the internal face 3c of the outer circumferential face of protuberance 1k and valve body 3 about equally, even to valve body 3 side shiftings, the possibility that contacts with internal face 3c also diminishes spool 1 under the influence of the pressure of fluid.And, when producing on the spool 1 against pressure (fluid flows from the lower direction top of Fig. 2 (d)), when spool 1 floats, the fluid of spool 1 inside is escaped to the upside of spool 1 between lip part 1b and valve seat 16, and since a and a ' about equally, the sectional area of the path escaped of fluid about equally and constant, therefore can prevent the rising of the interior pressure of spool 1.
Therefore in addition, the upper surface of lip part 1b is very roomy, can stably support spool 1 is crimped on leaf spring 1e on the valve seat 16, can push down spool 1 reliably, prevents that fluid is from revealing between spool 1 and the valve seat 16.And, make the outer periphery of leaf spring 1e be positioned at the inboard of outer periphery of the upper surface of lip part 1b, even therefore spool 1 moves, the outer periphery of leaf spring 1e can not contact with the internal face 3c of valve body 3 yet, and leaf spring 1e is difficult for owing to head pressure is out of shape, therefore even for the load of spool 1, be difficult for producing fluid and reveal, the slip that makes spool 1 is along sliding.
And, in this example, shown in Fig. 2 (d), the lip part 1b of main body 1c is done height, make its upper surface be positioned at the position of distance b of the center line top of pole 1d.Product in the past, the center line of pole 1d is positioned at the top of the upper surface of lip part 1b, in contrast to this, the intensity of lip part 1b of the present invention improves, and when pole 1d is pressed into main body 1c, or when the inside and outside generation pressure reduction of main body 1c, main body 1c is difficult for enlarging, so pole 1d difficult drop-off.
As shown in Figure 1, have the four-way switching valve 2 of said structure, be applied on air conditioner, the mobile of refrigeration agent be switched to refrigeration and make warm situation.At this moment, spool 1 is subjected to the pressure of the refrigeration agent of high temperature from exterior circumferential, slides on valve seat 16 with the state that is pressed against valve seat 16.At this moment, as shown in Figure 3, be projected into the position close, improve the mechanical strength of the main body 1c of spool 1 with the internal face 3c of valve body 3 by making protuberance 1k, therefore the external diameter of 2 pole 1d can be run business into particular one, and it is also closer to each other that 2 pole 1d are positioned near the position of valve seat 16.Thus, under discharge tube 5 and state that conduit 11 is communicated with, each the pole 1d not opening surface with suction pipe 7 and conduit 12 is relative, and under discharge tube 5 and state that conduit 12 is communicated with, each the pole 1d not opening surface with suction pipe 7 and conduit 11 is relative.Thus, pole 1d can directly not block flowing of conduit 11,12, and lift off a seat 16 slip surface 16a predetermined distance of pole 1d is above and can not enter the fluid passage inside of the connection of spool 1 with recess 1a, therefore is difficult for becoming the resistance of fluid L3, can guarantee to move along sliding fluid.In addition, as shown in Figure 4, pole 1d also can be 1.
In addition, in above-mentioned example, make the outer circumferential face of the protuberance 1k of spool 1 have radius of curvature R 1 radius of curvature R 2 about equally with the internal face 3c of valve body 3, but the shape of protuberance 1k is not limited thereto, the outer circumferential face of the protuberance 1k of spool 1 not with the scope of the internal face 3c butt of valve body 3 in, can make different shape.
And, in above-mentioned example, the situation that is applied to air conditioner with the four-way switching valve 2 that will have spool 1 of the present invention is that example is illustrated, but except air conditioner, other utilizes the equipment of reversible refrigeration cycle also to be applied to chiller plant etc., in addition, except the machine that utilizes refrigeration cycle, need can also be applied to convection cell to carry out the equipment that four-way switches.
Below, with reference to Fig. 5~Fig. 7, the 2nd example of the four-way switching valve that uses spool of the present invention is described.In these figure, for the constituting component identical with Fig. 1~Fig. 4, the mark prosign, and suitably omit its explanation.Below, be that example describes with the situation of the switching of the refrigerant passage that four-way switching valve is applied to refrigeration cycle.
Four-way switching valve 30 shown in Figure 5, has the basic structure identical with four-way switching valve shown in Figure 12, in the valve body 3 of the cylinder shape of airtight hollow, be provided with the connection mouth 33 of the conduit 32 that the discharge tube 34 with compressor (not shown) links, with the connection mouth 8 that is communicated with the suction pipe 7 of compressor, in the both sides that clip this connection mouth 8, configuration and the conduit 11 that leads to heat exchanger (not shown), 12 2 connection mouths 13 that are communicated with, 14, on valve seat 16, be provided with bowl-shape spool 31 free sliding, this spool 31 is slided, make the connection mouth 8 of central authorities and the connection mouth 13 of both sides selectively, one of 14 connect.
The conduit 32 that discharge tube 34 this four-way switching valve 30 and compressor links, different with conduit 64 shown in Figure 12, one of its feature is: the diameter of bottom 32a is bigger than the diameter of top 32b, and on the 32b of top, be equipped with in pipe and be used for block 32c that discharge tube 34 is positioned, the internal diameter of the bottom 32a also external diameter than discharge tube 34 is big, thus, as described below, can make the space of periphery of the connection mouth 33 of conduit 32 form greatlyyer, the pressure loss of high-pressure refrigerant is diminished.
Below, with reference to Fig. 6, near the shape of the outer circumferential face of, the spool 31 of the connection mouth 33 of the conduit 32 on the valve body 3 that is located in four-way switching valve shown in Figure 5 30, describe with near the difference of the shape of the outer circumferential face of, the spool 74 of the connection mouth 65 of the conduit 64 of four-way switching valve in the past 61 shown in Figure 12.The part that this figure is represented, the with dashed lines that is equivalent to Figure 14 is surrounded as oval-shaped part B.In Fig. 6, judge easily in order to make above-mentioned difference, do not beat hatching ground each parts is charted.And, with the spool 31 of solid line presentation graphs 5 etc., dot in the past spool 74 etc.
As mentioned above, the diameter of the bottom 32a by making conduit 32 is greater than the diameter of top 32b, and as shown in Figure 6, also the internal diameter than conduit 64 is big to make the internal diameter of conduit 32.Thus, also the opening than connection mouth 65 is big to make the opening of connection mouth 33.
Adopt said structure, can make the clearance D of four-way switching valve 30 bigger, can make the smallest cross sectional long-pending (tubular protuberance sectional area) between the outer circumferential face 31m of the periphery of connection mouth 33 of conduit 32 and spool 31 bigger than the gap d of four-way switching valve 61.More particularly, four-way switching valve 30 is characterised in that, makes the long-pending internal diameter sectional area that is equal to or greater than discharge tube 34 of this smallest cross sectional.
Below, as the example that the pressure loss when using above-mentioned spool 31 and spool 74 compares, in Fig. 7, the relation between the tubular protuberance sectional area and the pressure loss is represented.High-voltage tube among this figure is meant the conduit separately 32,64 of spool 31,74, and the high-pressure loss is meant the pressure loss when high-pressure refrigerant flows through high-voltage tube.
As shown in the drawing, can find out, increase along with tubular protuberance sectional area, the pressure loss reduces, when the sectional area of tubular protuberance as this example equates with the internal diameter sectional area of high-voltage tube (being expressed as the product of reduction), compare with four-way switching valve 61 (product in the past) shown in Figure 14, the pressure loss roughly reduces by half.Thereafter, even tubular protuberance sectional area increases, the pressure loss is also faint as to reduce gradually, but at this moment the size of valve body also increases gradually.Therefore, from the size of valve body and reduction by two aspects of the pressure loss, preferably make the internal diameter sectional area (308mm of tubular protuberance sectional area and high-voltage tube 2) equate.
Below, with reference to Fig. 8~Figure 11, the 3rd example of the four-way switching valve that uses spool of the present invention is described.In these figure, for the constituting component identical with Fig. 1~Fig. 7, the mark prosign, and suitably omit its explanation.Below, be that example describes with the situation of the switching of the refrigerant passage that four-way switching valve is applied to refrigeration cycle.
Four-way switching valve 40 shown in Figure 8, has the basic structure identical with four-way switching valve shown in Figure 12, in the valve body 3 of the cylinder shape of airtight hollow, be provided with the connection mouth 33 of the conduit 32 that the discharge tube 34 with compressor (not shown) links, with the connection mouth 8 that is communicated with the suction pipe 7 of compressor, in the both sides that clip this connection mouth 8, configuration and the conduit 11 that leads to heat exchanger (not shown), 12 2 connection mouths 13 that are communicated with, 14, on valve seat 16, be provided with bowl-shape spool 41 free sliding, this spool 41 is slided, make the connection mouth 8 of central authorities and the connection mouth 13 of both sides selectively, one of 14 connect.
Below, with reference to figure 9, to the spool 41 of four-way switching valve shown in Figure 8 40 and near the parts it, and the spool 74 and near the difference of the parts it on size and dimension of four-way switching valve in the past 61 shown in Figure 15 describe.In the figure, judge easily, do not beat hatching ground each parts is charted in order to make above-mentioned difference.And the spool 41 with solid line presentation graphs 8 dots spool 74 in the past.
Compare with spool 74, spool 41 forms valve port footpath (internal diameter of position shown in this figure S1) and waits big, and the whole shape that expands and give prominence to laterally.The difference of this shape and size as shown in figure 10.In Fig. 9, with the spool 41 of solid line presentation graphs 8, and dot in the past spool 74, and, the diameter of the stream end face that the conversion valve port among the figure directly is meant the S0~S4 in the low pressure stream of Fig. 9 when circular.
As shown in figure 10, each size of the size of the inner space of expression valve port footpath and valve all is that spool 41 is bigger, and, in spool 41, have the big part (with reference to S3) of internal diameter S0 of valve relative aperture conduit 12.Thus, fluid valve port and near mobile becoming along sliding, can suppress the pressure loss of fluid that flows through the inside of spool 41 less.In addition, suction pipe 7, conduit 11 and conduit 12 form same shape, have identical internal diameter size.And spool 41 and spool 74 form bilateral symmetry with respect to centre line C L, and the inflow side of the refrigeration agent among Fig. 9 and the valve port of outflow side footpath etc. equates.
As mentioned above, spool 41 is compared with spool 74, can integral body expand outstanding laterally and form be because, as described in the explanation of the 2nd example, on the 32b of the top of conduit 32, in pipe, be equipped with the block 32c that are used to make discharge tube 34 cards to end, and make bottom 32a have the internal diameter bigger than the external diameter of discharge tube 34.Promptly, as shown in Figure 9, adopt such structure, can make the area D (smallest cross sectional between the periphery of the connection mouth 33 of conduit 32 and the outer circumferential face of spool 41 is long-pending) between the outer circumferential face of the periphery of connection mouth 33 of valve body and spool 41 bigger, even it is outstanding that spool 41 is expanded, the pressure loss that also can avoid area D to reduce caused high-pressure liquid becomes big.
Below, as the example that the pressure loss when using above-mentioned spool 31 and spool 74 compares, in Figure 11, the relation between the sectional area in the middle of the valve and the pressure loss is represented.Sectional area is meant the fluid passage of the spool area along the section that comprises the valve neutral position S3 among Fig. 9 and cut open perpendicular to the face (the surperficial θ with respect to valve seat 16 is the faces of 45 degree) of the streamline of refrigeration agent in the middle of the valve.
As shown in figure 11, along with sectional area in the middle of the valve increases, the pressure loss reduces, but sectional area reaches 523mm in the middle of valve 2(1.07 times of sectional area that are equivalent to valve port) afterwards, even sectional area increases in the middle of the valve, the pressure loss does not reduce substantially yet.Therefore, when when reduction by two aspects of the size of spool and the pressure loss are seen, preferably sectional area in the middle of the valve is set at 1.07 times of sectional area of valve port.
In addition, in the above-mentioned the 2nd and the 3rd example, the situation of the switching of the refrigerant passage that four-way switching valve is applied to refrigeration cycle has been carried out expression for example, but also four-way switching valve can be applied to other purposes certainly.
