Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a rotary passage-switching valve having a rotor with an extended service life. The passage-switching valve according to the present invention has a stator and a rotor which is rotatable while sliding relative to the stator. The stator has a plurality of ports whose ends are open on a sliding surface on which the rotor is made to rotate and slide. The rotor has a passage groove for connecting two or more of the ports. At an edge of the passage groove, the rotor is in contact with the sliding surface of the stator at a contact angle α greater than 120°.
