All-stable six-position four-way reversing valve based on rotary valve core and switching method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic valves, and particularly relates to a fully-stable six-position four-way reversing valve based on a rotary valve core and a switching method thereof.
Background
In the existing four-way electromagnetic directional valve, the working position of the valve core is adjusted by sliding, the complex processing cost of the valve core is high, and the valve core is generally only provided with three working positions; if the slide spool has six operating positions, the size of the spool needs to be greatly increased or the complexity of the spool needs to be increased. In addition, the existing electromagnetic directional valve only has a stable working position which does not need to consume electric energy, and when the electromagnetic directional valve is in an unstable working position, the electromagnet needs to be continuously electrified to consume the electric energy. The use cost of the electromagnetic directional valve is greatly improved, and only the bistable electromagnetic flux electric valve can have two stable working positions; however, for the reversing valve, three or more working positions are often needed to meet the use requirement. Therefore, it is important to design a reversing valve with all the working positions being stable working positions.

As shown in fig. 3, the valve core 2 and the valve seat have six different working positions, and the switching of six communication sequences is realized by rotating the valve core 2; the oil port connection relation corresponding to the six working positions is as follows:
(1) as shown in fig. 4, the oil inlet P → the first intake side port C1 → the first outlet side port D1 → the first working port a; the second working port B → the fourth outlet port D4 → the fourth inlet port C4 → the oil return port T (at this time, the first check valve 4 is open). At the moment, the first working oil port A outputs the hydraulic medium to drive the oil cylinder, and the second working oil port B returns the hydraulic medium to drive the oil cylinder.
(2) As shown in fig. 5, the oil inlet P → the second oil inlet port C2 → the fifth oil inlet port C5 → the second working oil port B; the first working port a → the second outlet port D2 → the fifth inlet port C5 → the oil return port T. At the moment, the second working oil port B outputs the hydraulic medium, and the first working oil port A returns the hydraulic medium.
(3) As shown in fig. 6, the oil inlet P communicates with the third side oil inlet C3 and is closed; the oil return port T is communicated with and closed by a sixth outlet side oil port D6; the first working port a is communicated with the second working port B through a third outlet port D3 and a sixth inlet port C6. At the moment, the first working oil port A is communicated with the second working oil port B, the oil inlet P and the oil return port T are both cut off, the middle position state of the U-shaped three-position four-way reversing valve is presented, the oil cylinder is in a floating state, the piston rod freely moves, and the pump is not unloaded.
(4) As shown in fig. 7, the first check valve 4 between the fourth inlet port C4 and the fourth outlet port D4 prevents the hydraulic medium introduced into the inlet port P from flowing to the first working port a.

(6) As shown in fig. 9, the first working port a communicates with and closes the third side port C3; the second working oil port B is communicated with and closed by a sixth outlet side oil port D6; only the port communicates with the oil return port T through the sixth inlet port C6 and the third outlet port D3. At the moment, the first working oil port A and the second working oil port B are cut off, the oil inlet P is communicated with the oil return port T, the middle position state of the M-shaped three-position four-way reversing valve is presented, the piston rod of the oil cylinder is locked, and the pump is unloaded.
The two ends of the valve core 2 are provided with locking groove groups. The locking groove group comprises six locking grooves 2-4 which are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the central axis of the valve core 2. The groove is conical, so that the locking marble 8 is positioned, and the valve core 2 is convenient to separate when driven. Two marble containing grooves are formed in the opposite side faces of the first oil port disc 1-1 and the second oil port disc 1-2. The two marble containing grooves are arranged on two sides of the central axis of the valve core 2 in a centering way. The marble placing groove corresponds to the position of the locking groove group on the valve core 2. Each marble placing groove is internally provided with a locking component. The capture assembly includes a spring 7 and a capture pin 8. The spring 7 is arranged in the pin tumbler placing groove, and the outer end of the spring is fixed with the lock position pin tumbler 8. The spring 7 of the locking pin 8 is pushed against the valve core 2. When each locking marble 8 respectively props against the locking groove 2-4 on the valve core 2, the valve core 2 is in a working position. When the valve core 2 is at different working positions, the locking balls 8 prop against different locking grooves 2-4 (six locking grooves 2-4 correspond to six working positions).
The working position switching mechanism 3 comprises an electromagnetic push rod 3-1, an incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2, a one-way bearing 3-3 and a connecting rod 3-4. The inner ring of the one-way bearing 3-3 is fixed with the outer side wall of the valve core 2. The incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2 is fixed with the outer ring of the one-way bearing 3-3. The incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2 is arc-shaped (tile-shaped), and the outer side surface is provided with a working contour groove. The working profile groove is in the shape of a cylindrical spiral line, and the corresponding central angle is 60 degrees. The central axis of the working profile groove coincides with the central axis of the valve core 2. The electromagnetic push rod 3-1 is fixed on the valve seat. The push-pull direction of the electromagnetic push rod 3-1 is parallel to the central axis of the valve core 2. The outer end of the push-out rod of the electromagnetic push rod 3-1 is fixed with the inner end of the connecting rod 3-4. The axes of the coupling rods 3-4 perpendicularly intersect the central axis of the spool 2. The outer end of the coupling rod 3-4 extends into the working profile groove of the incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2. The outer end of the coupling rod 3-4 is supported with a roller to reduce the transmission resistance with the incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2. The power supply interface of the electromagnetic push rod 3-1 is connected with the controller through a relay.
When the electromagnetic push rod 3-1 is pushed out or retracted, the incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2 and the outer ring of the one-way bearing 3-3 are driven to rotate forwards or reversely; the central angle of the working profile groove is 60 degrees; therefore, one-time push-pull of the electromagnetic push rod 3-1 can drive the outer ring of the one-way bearing 3-3 to rotate forward by 60 degrees and then rotate backward by 60 degrees; the outer ring and the inner ring of the one-way bearing 3-3 can only relatively rotate along one direction; therefore, the outer ring of the one-way bearing 3-3 rotates in a reciprocating way once, and the outer ring of the one-way bearing 3-3 and the valve core 2 are driven to rotate for 60 degrees along one direction; and the valve core 2 can make the valve core 2 switch from one working position to another working position; therefore, the selection of the working position of the valve core 2 can be realized by the pushing out and the retracting back of the electromagnetic push rod 3-1.
The switching method of the all-stable six-position four-way reversing valve based on the rotary valve core specifically comprises the following steps:
in an initial state, an oil inlet P and a second working oil port B on the first oil port disc 1-1 are in butt joint with two side oil inlets which are symmetrical about a valve core axis on the valve core; an oil return port T and a first working oil port A on the second oil port disc 1-2 are in butt joint with two oil outlets on the valve core, which are symmetrical about the axis of the valve core.
Step one, pushing out an electromagnetic push rod, moving a connecting rod 3-4 outwards, moving the connecting rod 3-4 from one end of a working profile groove of an incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2 to the other end, driving the incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2 to rotate forwards by 60 degrees, and enabling an outer ring and an inner ring of a one-way bearing 3-3 to not rotate relatively in the rotating direction, so that a valve core 2 rotates by 60 degrees along with the incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2; so that the spool 2 switches from one operating position to the next.
And step two, the electromagnetic push rod retracts, the connecting rod 3-4 moves inwards, the incomplete cylindrical cam 3-2 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction by 60 degrees, and the outer ring and the inner ring of the one-way bearing 3-3 can rotate relatively in the rotating direction. The valve core 2 is subjected to the rotation resistance of a locking marble 8 in the locking assembly, so that the inner ring does not rotate and the valve core keeps static in the process of rotating the outer ring of the one-way bearing 3-3.
The continuous switching of the working positions of the valve core 2 can be repeatedly realized by repeatedly executing the first step and the second step, so that the valve core can be switched to any one working position by controlling the push-pull times of the electromagnetic push rod.
