た。Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, the electromagnetic pilot valve is used.
High and low pressure conversion is performed by the operation of 15, and the valve is switched by the pressure difference, so it is indispensable to attach the pilot valve 15 itself, the structure is complicated and the cost is very high, and the valve body 1 is also large during heating. The heat loss in the valve body 1 was large, and the heating capacity of the system was greatly reduced. In addition, there are several valve mechanisms outside the main body valve 1, which causes a problem of valve leakage. Furthermore, since the pilot valve 15 and the valve body 1 are connected by the bleed pipes 13 and 14, there are many connection points, which causes high cost and gas leakage. Also, since the valve operation is switched depending on the pressure difference, it cannot be operated in the state where there is no pressure difference, and it requires a certain pressure difference and cannot be switched unless the air conditioner or the like is in operation. There was a driving loss. Further, in the case where a solenoid drive source is used to reciprocate the valve element in the cylinder to switch the flow passage, the valve element has a complicated structure, or the flow passage cross-sectional area inside the valve element is small. Then, there was a problem that the whole valve had to be enlarged.

図れるものである。The present invention has the above-described structure, and even if the differential pressure of the system is applied to the inside and outside of the slider member of the elliptic cylindrical hollow guide hole, the slider member is not subjected to the urging force due to the pressure difference and is held at the neutral point. Since the slider member can be moved in the cylinder axis direction with a slight force that resists the surface pressure required for the ring to seal, the required switching force can be greatly reduced. It is possible without using it, and the cost and simplification are greatly improved, and the operational reliability is improved. The slider seat ring is ring-shaped and has an elliptical shape elongated in the cylinder axis direction, and the slide member is When the elliptic cylinder is used, the wide opening surfaces formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the ring shape serve as the flow passages, so the flow passage cross-sectional area inside the slider member is increased. While taking off, the width of the valve seat can be made narrower, the cylinder diameter can be made smaller, and the valve body can be made smaller.

できる。As described above, according to the present embodiment, the seat surface is fixed in parallel in the cylinder, and the pair of valve seats each having the outlet and the first and second through holes are provided, and the valve seats are provided at both ends. By disposing an elliptic cylindrical slider member provided with a pair of sliding seat rings of an elliptical shape long in the axial direction of the cylinder that abuts against and seals, by sliding the slider member in the axial direction of the cylinder, By selecting the communication port that communicates with the outlet port and switching the refrigerant circuit, the slider member is held at the neutral point without receiving a pressure difference, so the surface pressure required for the slide seat ring to seal. Since the slider member can be slid with a slight force only against the pressure, the required switching force can be greatly reduced, so valve switching can be performed without using a pilot valve mechanism as in the past. In addition to achieving a large cost reduction and improved operational reliability, the slide seat ring and the tubular slider have an elliptical shape that is long in the axial direction of the cylinder to increase the flow passage cross-sectional area inside the slider member. However, the width of the valve seat can be narrowed, the cylinder diameter can be reduced, the valve body can be downsized, heat loss in the valve body can be reduced, and the heating capacity of the system can be improved.

である。EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, since the long and elliptic cylindrical slider member is simply reciprocated in the cylinder to switch the flow path, the slider member has a ring shape that is extremely easy to move. In addition, the opening surfaces that are inevitably formed on the upper and lower surfaces are wide, and this is the flow passage cross section in the slider member, which is much larger than the flow passage formed by drilling in the valve body as in the past. The flow path cross section is large. Therefore, the entire valve including the cylinder can be made small for the above reason. The valve seat according to the second aspect of the present invention uses the leaf seat to press the opening surfaces of the slide seat rings provided in the first and second sliders against the seat surface of the valve seat, respectively. Since there is no fluid leakage between the seat surface and the slider, it is efficient as a four-way valve, the valve body can be downsized, the heat loss in the valve body during heating can be reduced, and the heating capacity of the system can be improved. It can be realized.
