A multi-way valve includes an upper valve body, a lower valve body and a rotary valve core. The upper valve body and the lower valve body are provided respectively with an upper mounting hole and a lower mounting hole. The rotary valve core is provided passing through the upper mounting hole and the lower mounting hole, respectively. The rotary valve core is formed with a first stepped surface facing toward the upper valve body, and an adjusting nut, which is located below the rotary valve core, is provided in the lower mounting hole. The rotary valve core is moved up and down axially by adjusting the adjusting nut such that an axial clearance between the first stepped surface and the upper valve body is adjusted, so the rotary valve core may flexibly rotate at different temperatures to prevent the multi-way valve from being stuck.

Motor-driven axial-flow control valve

A motor-driven axial-flow control valve is disclosed that has a valve body with an inlet and an opposite outlet and a passage located between having a substantially axial alignment relative to the inlet and outlet, and a flow control path arranged in the passage with an operative connection to a motor drive in a switch housing resting on the valve body. The flow control valve is formed by two radially arranged discs lying on one another and each having at least one passage opening where one disc is a stator disc permanently arranged in the valve body, and the other disc lies axially rotatably on the stator disk, and the rotatable disc is in engagement with an axially rotatable sleeve that is arranged axially in the passage and through which flow can pass in the cavity of the rotatable disc.

Multi-fuel switching device

A multi-fuel switching device, including a gas part, is provided. The gas part includes a switching valve. The switching valve includes a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet. An internal rotation of the housing is provided with a valve core located between the air inlet and the air outlet. The valve core is provided with a first airway and a second airway. Cross-sectional sizes of the first airway and the second airway are different. The first airway or the second airway is selected through rotating the valve core to connect the air inlet and the air outlet. The solution solves the issue that a fuel switching device in the prior art cannot adapt to three or more fuels, which causes an internal combustion engine to be unable to maintain the optimal working state.

PLANETARY FLUID CONTROL VALVE
20230220919 · 2023-07-13 ·

A fluid control valve includes a valve assembly having a ring gear, an array of first rotary valve bodies, an array of second rotary valve bodies, and a sealing plate. Each of the first rotary valve bodies includes at least one first flow path formed therethrough and each of the second rotary valve bodies includes at least one second flow path formed therethrough. The sealing plate includes a plurality of flow openings formed axially therethrough with each of the flow openings configured to provide fluid communication between one of the first flow paths of the array of first rotary valve bodies and one of the second flow paths of the array of second rotary valve bodies. Rotation of the ring gear causes selective rotation of the first and second rotary valve bodies to alter the flow configuration present between the arrays of the first and second rotary valve bodies.

Bar valve

A bar valve includes an elongate housing having a first inlet located towards a first end of the housing, a second inlet located towards a second end of the housing, and an outlet located between the first inlet and the second inlet. A mixing chamber is located within the housing, the mixing chamber being configured to receive first and second input flows from the first inlet and second inlet, respectively. A flow controller is configured to receive a mixed flow from the mixing chamber and controllably output an outlet flow to the outlet. The mixing chamber and flow controller is disposed sequentially in a region of the housing between the first end and the outlet, thereby confining the mixed flow and the outlet flow to the region of the housing between the first end and the outlet.
