Referring to fig. 1, a rotary valve 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is configured to rotate between a first valve position and a second valve position, the rotary valve 100 being provided with a first common port 10, a second common port 20, a plurality of connection ports 30, a first communication groove 40 and a second communication groove 50, the first common port 10 being in communication with the connection ports 30 through the first communication groove 40 with the rotary valve 100 in the first valve position; with the rotary valve 100 in the second valve position, the second common port 20 communicates with the connection port 30 through the second communication groove 50.
Thus, by configuring the rotary valve 100 to rotate between the first valve position and the second valve position, the communication between the first common port 10 and the connection port 30 through the first communication groove 40 and the communication between the second common port 20 and the connection port 30 through the second communication groove 50 can be achieved with the rotary valve 100 in different positions, thereby enabling the rotary valve 100 to integrate a three-way valve function and have two common ports, simplifying the liquid path system 1000 (see fig. 12) and reducing the consumption of reagents.
Specifically, the first common port 10 may be in communication with the connection port 30 through the first communication slot 40, and the first common port 10 is shown in the present embodiment. The first common port 10 may serve as a liquid inlet or outlet to the rotary valve 100.
Alternatively, liquid may enter or exit the rotary valve 100 from the first common port 10, thereby effecting split or co-current flow. Here, the first common port 10 serves as a liquid inlet for the rotary valve 100, and liquid may enter the rotary valve 100 from the first common port 10. The shape of the first common port 10 may be a regular shape such as a circle or a polygon, or may be an irregular shape.
Similarly, the second common port 20 may be in communication with the connection port 30 through the second communication slot 50, and is shown as a second common port 20 in the present illustration. The second common port 20 may serve as a liquid inlet or outlet to the rotary valve 100. Alternatively, liquid may enter or exit the rotary valve 100 from the second common port 20, thereby effecting split or co-current flow. Here, the second common port 20 serves as a liquid inlet for the rotary valve 100, and liquid may enter the rotary valve 100 from the second common port 20. The shape of the second common port 20 may be a regular shape such as a circle, a polygon, or an irregular shape. In an embodiment of the present utility model, the second common port 20 is rounded in order to facilitate the formation, manufacture and/or connection of the second common port 20 to common piping.
In order to facilitate the arrangement of the positions of the connection ports 30, the angle between the first communication groove 40 and the second communication groove 50 may be 173.5 °, that is, the angle between the extending line segment of the first communication groove 40 over the axis of the rotary valve 100 and the extending line segment of the second communication groove 50 over the axis of the rotary valve 100. The present utility model is not limited to the angle between the first communicating groove 40 and the second communicating groove 50. Further, the positions of the first and second common ports 10 and 20 on the rotary valve 100 can be adjusted by adjusting the angle and shape between the first and second communication grooves 40 and 50.
Only one of the first common port 10 and the second common port 20 can communicate with the connection port 30 while the other port is in a blocked state. Alternatively, when the first common port 10 communicates with the connection port 30 through the first communication groove 40, the second common port 20 is in a blocked state (i.e., liquid cannot flow into the second common port 20), and when the second common port 20 communicates with the connection port 30 through the second communication groove 50, the first common port 10 is in a blocked state (i.e., liquid cannot flow into the first common port 10).
When the rotary valve 100 is rotated to the first valve position, the first common port 10 communicates with the plurality of connection ports 30 through the first communication groove 40, and at this time, the liquid enters the rotary valve 100 from the first common port 10 and flows out through the plurality of connection ports 30. When the rotary valve 100 is rotated to the second valve position, the second common port 20 communicates with the plurality of connection ports 30 through the second communication groove 50, and at this time, the liquid enters the rotary valve 100 from the second common port 20 and flows out through the plurality of connection ports 30.
Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the rotary valve 100 includes a stator 60 and a rotor 70 disposed opposite the stator 60, the stator 60 is provided with at least a portion of the first common port 10, the second common port 20, the plurality of connection ports 30 and the first communication slot 40, and the rotor 70 is provided with at least a portion of the second communication slot 50.
As such, during rotation of the rotor 70, the first and second connection slots 40 and 50 may communicate with the first and second common ports 10 and 20 such that liquid may enter the rotary valve 100 from the stator 60 and flow out of the rotary valve 100 from the stator 60.
The rotor 70 and the stator 60 are coaxially disposed, or, in other words, the central axis of the rotor 70 and the central axis of the stator 60 coincide, the second common port 20 may be disposed on the central axis. It will be appreciated that the rotor 70 may rotate relative to the stator 60. Further, the rotor 70 rotates relative to the stator 60 between a first valve position and a second valve position.
