Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the air flow control valve 1 is switched between the first state and the second state, for example, when the air flow control valve 1 is switched from the first state to the second state, the first butterfly valve 121 is rotated 90 degrees in the rotational direction (X direction as shown in fig. 4) from the a position to the c position, so that the main passage 11 is switched from the communicating state to the non-communicating state. Accordingly, referring to fig. 4, the second butterfly valve 122 is rotated 90 degrees in the rotation direction X from the c position to the a position in the bypass passage 13, so that the bypass passage 13 is switched from the non-communicated state to the communicated state.

Compared with the traditional air flow control valve, the butterfly valve is arranged at the junction of the main passage and the bypass passage, and one point of the butterfly valve in the circumferential direction is connected with the junction of the main passage and the bypass passage, so that the butterfly valve controls the switching of the main passage and the bypass passage. In the present embodiment, one butterfly valve 12 is provided in each of the main passage 11 and the bypass passage 13. Referring to fig. 2 and 6, the butterfly valve 12 is provided on the axis OO' of the rotary shaft 15 such that the butterfly valve 12 can be rotated with the rotation of the rotary shaft 15 to adjust the air flow rate in the main passage 11 or the bypass passage 13 as needed, and to control the communication or non-communication of the main passage 11 or the bypass passage 13. On the other hand, providing the butterfly valve 12 on the axis OO' of the rotary shaft 15 also reduces the rotation resistance of the butterfly valve 12.
Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 5, in the present embodiment, the main passage 11 and the bypass passage 13 are perpendicular to each other, and the main rotation shaft 151 and the sub rotation shaft 152 extend in the same direction. The first butterfly valve 121 and the second butterfly valve 122 are respectively provided on both sides of the main rotating shaft 151 and the secondary rotating shaft 152 in the extending direction, and the first butterfly valve 121 and the second butterfly valve 122 form an angle of 90 degrees.

In other embodiments of the present application, the main passage 11 is angled with respect to the bypass passage 13, respectively, in the radial direction R of the main passage1Extended main rotating shaft 151 and radial direction R along bypass path2Extending at an angle from the axis of rotation 152. Since the butterfly valve 12 is disposed on the axis of the rotating shaft 15, a certain angle is formed between the first butterfly valve 121 and the second butterfly valve 122, and the first butterfly valve 121 and the second butterfly valve 122 can rotate simultaneously with the rotating shaft 15, so that the main passage 11 and the bypass passage 13 are in different states.
For example, referring to fig. 2 to 4, the angle between the main passage 11 and the bypass passage 13 is 60 degrees, and accordingly, the angle between the main rotary shaft 151 and the slave rotary shaft 152 and the angle between the first butterfly valve 121 and the second butterfly valve 122 are also 60 degrees. When the air flow control valve 1 is switched between the first state and the second state, the first butterfly valve 121 and the second butterfly valve 122 rotate 90 degrees in the rotation direction X at the same time; when the air flow control valve 1 is switched between the first state or the second state and the third state, the rotation angle of the first butterfly valve 121 and the second butterfly valve 122 in the rotation direction X is greater than 0 degree and less than 90 degrees. The foregoing has been described in detail and is not repeated here.

The housing cover 17 includes a position sensor (not shown) for receiving and feeding back position information of the butterfly valve 12. In this embodiment, since the motor 161 rotates the main rotary shaft 151, the sub-rotary shaft 152 rotates simultaneously with the main rotary shaft 151 due to the rigid connection with the main rotary shaft 151, and the first butterfly valve 121 and the second butterfly valve 122 connected to the main rotary shaft 151 and the sub-rotary shaft 152 rotate together with the same, the rotation angle of the butterfly valve 12 and the rotation angle of the motor 161 have a certain relationship.
The first gear 162 and the second gear 164 can also rotate with the motor 161, and the magnet 163 rotates with the rotation of the first gear 162 and the second gear 164, so that the magnetic field direction changes and different voltage values are generated. Therefore, the change in the magnetic field and the voltage value have a certain relationship with the rotation angle of the motor 161. Further, the change of the magnetic field and the change of the voltage value correspond to the rotation angle of the butterfly valve 12. The position sensor in the housing cover 17 outputs a different voltage value accordingly to the control unit, which (not shown in the figure) determines the angle of rotation and the position of the butterfly valve 12.

In other embodiments, the location of the cooling ducts 18 may be designed according to the needs of the user. For example, the cooling duct 18 is provided on one side of the bypass passage 13 to dissipate heat and reduce temperature.
Referring to fig. 5 and 7, the housing 115 of the main passage and the housing 135 of the bypass passage are made of high temperature resistant materials, and the high temperature resistant range is 190 ℃ to 230 ℃, so that the applicable temperature range of the air flow control valve 1 is expanded, and the practicability and applicability are improved. Illustratively, the housing 115 of the main passage and the housing 135 of the bypass passage are made of a teflon material and can withstand a temperature threshold of 205 ℃.

Referring to fig. 8, the sealing assembly 19 includes a spring holder 191 and a sealing ring 192, the spring holder 191 is disposed along the circumferential direction of the inner sidewalls of the main passage 11 and the bypass passage 13, and the sealing ring 192 is disposed along the circumferential direction of the spring holder 191 (in the C direction shown in the figure), so that the sealing ring 192 can be pressed against the inner wall of the housing 115 of the main passage or the inner wall of the housing 135 of the bypass passage by the spring holder 191 when the butterfly valve 12 is located at the C position (shown in fig. 4) due to the elasticity of the spring holder 191, thereby achieving a better sealing effect.
On the other hand, around the butterfly valve 12 is a sealing ring 192, because the sealing ring 192 is a soft material that can be compressed or squeezed during use. Even if the air flow control valve 1 is used in a high-temperature environment, the clamping risk of the butterfly valve 12 along with the temperature change is small, and therefore the requirement for adjusting the axial clearance of the butterfly valve 12 is omitted. In the present embodiment, the sealing ring 192 is made of a high temperature resistant material, and the material of the sealing ring 192 is, for example, fluororubber.
Referring to fig. 5 and 7, the main passage 11 is detachably connected to the bypass passage 13. Illustratively, the main passage 11 and the bypass passage 13 are made of a high temperature resistant metal material, such as aluminum alloy, and are connected by a snap fit. For another example, the main passage 11 and the bypass passage 13 are connected by screws. The main channel 11 and the bypass channel 13 are detachably connected, so that a user can replace the bypass channels 13 with different diameters according to requirements, and the path flow of the bypass channels 13 is changed to meet the requirements of different air flows of the air flow control valve 1.
A seal is provided at the junction of the main passage 11 and the bypass passage 13 to prevent air leakage, so that the air flow control valve 1 has good sealing properties.
