Abstract

A reversible electromagnetic valve is provided, which includes a valve seat having a valve port, a slider slidably connected to the valve seat, and a driving member. The driving member can drive the slider to move in contact with the valve seat to use a sealing surface of the slider to selectively block the valve port. The sealing surface of the slider has a sealing point; the sealing point is provided corresponding to a limit position of an edge of the valve port of the valve seat, such that when the slider drives the sealing point to cross the valve port, the sealing surface of the slider can block the valve port; and under action of a pressure difference, a position where the sealing point of the slider is located is not lower than a plane where the edge of the valve port is located.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A reversible electromagnetic valve, comprising a valve seat having a valve port, a slider slidably connected to the valve seat, and a driving member;
wherein the driving member is capable of driving the slider to move in contact with the valve seat, resulting in a sealing surface of the slider configured to selectively block the valve port; and the sealing surface of the slider has a sealing point, the sealing point of the sealing surface is provided corresponding to a limit position of an edge of the valve port of the valve seat, such that when the slider drives the sealing point to cross the valve port, the sealing surface of the slider is capable of blocking the valve port; and under action of a pressure difference, a position where the sealing point of the sealing surface is located is not lower than a plane where the edge of the valve port is located; the reversible electromagnetic valve further comprises a valve body and a valve core assembly; the valve core assembly comprises the slider and a piston, and the valve body has a valve cavity in which the valve core assembly is capable of moving; an intermediate end cap is provided in the valve cavity, a first end cap and a second end cap are provided at two ends of the valve body, respectively; and the valve cavity comprises a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber; and the first chamber is defined by the first end cap, the valve body, and the valve core assembly; the second chamber is defined by the valve core assembly, the intermediate end cap, and the valve body; and the third chamber is defined by the valve core assembly, the valve body, and the second end cap.

2 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 1 , wherein the sealing point is provided on a border line of the sealing surface towards a side of the edge of the valve port.

3 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 2 , wherein the border line of the sealing surface having the sealing point is provided as a straight segment perpendicular to a direction of movement of the slider on the valve seat.

4 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 3 , wherein the sealing surface is in a shape of rectangular.

5 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 4 , wherein the sealing surface is provided with an arcuate groove towards the side of the edge of the valve port, and the sealing point is located at a bottom of the arcuate groove.

6 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 5 , wherein the sealing surface is provided with two arcuate grooves connected with each other, the two arcuate grooves are symmetrically disposed with respect to a center line of the slider, and a connecting node of the two arcuate grooves is defined as the sealing point.

7 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 5 , wherein two support points on the slider where the sealing surface crosses the edge of the valve port are provided in the same straight line with the sealing point.

8 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 5 , wherein the sealing surface is provided with one arcuate groove, the arcuate groove is symmetrical with respect to a center line of the slider, and a center point of the bottom of the arcuate groove is defined as the sealing point.

9 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 8 , wherein the sealing point of the slider is located at inside of a connecting line of two support points where the sealing surface crosses the edge of the valve port.

10 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 1 , wherein the sealing point is provided inside the sealing surface.

11 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 10 , wherein the sealing surface comprises a circular main surface and a bar-shaped convex surface disposed on the circular main surface, the sealing point is located at a center of a line joining the circular main surface and the bar-shaped convex surface.

12 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 10 , wherein a sum of two times a sealing width when the sealing surface blocks the valve port and a size of the valve port is less than a maximum size of the sealing surface, wherein the sealing width is the shortest perpendicular distance between the sealing point and the edge of the valve port.

13 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 1 , wherein the sealing surface is an end surface of the slider in contact with the valve seat.

14 . The reversible electromagnetic valve of claim 1 , wherein the valve body is provided with a first hole and a second hole, the first hole is in communication with the second chamber, the second hole is in communication with the third chamber, a first capillary pipe is provided in the first hole, a second capillary pipe is provided in the second hole, and the first capillary pipe and the second capillary pipe are connected to the driving member, so as to form a pressure difference between two sides of the valve core assembly to push the valve core assembly to move.
