The valve core 02 needs to be guided by the inner wall of the valve body 01. If the gap 05 between the outer wall of the valve core 02 and the inner wall of the valve body 01 is too small, the valve core 02 is at risk of being stuck, and if the gap between the two is too large, it will affect the guidance of the valve body 01 to the valve core 02.

[0022] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Herein, the forward direction is defined as the fluid flowing from the second fluid port B to the first fluid port A, and the reverse direction is defined as the fluid flowing from the first fluid port A to the second fluid port B. The "longitudinal direction" mentioned below refers to the operating direction of the switch component of the control valve.
[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the control valve of this embodiment includes a valve body component 1, a switch component 2 and a valve core component 3.
[0025] The valve body component 1 includes a main valve body 11 and a connecting sleeve 12. The main valve body 11 includes a shell 111 and a seat 112. The shell 111 is a tubular structure made of stainless steel material. The shell 111 is an integral structure. In this embodiment, the shell 111 can form a first fluid port A at one end thereof through a flaring process for fluid to enter or flow out, and an annular protrusion 1110 is drawn out on its side wall through a drawing hole process, and one end of the annular protrusion 1110 serves as a first interface B1. That is, the shell 111 can be processed through a stainless steel pipe.
[0026] The seat body 112 is made of a stainless steel plate by stamping. The seat body 112 is located in the shell 111. The seat body 112 is welded and fixed to the shell 111. The two can be furnace welded or laser welded. A main valve port 1120 is formed on the seat body 112. Specifically, the seat body 112 includes a circular plate portion 1121 and an annular portion 1122. The plate portion 1121 has an axial through hole, which serves as the main valve port 1120. The annular portion 1122 extends from the outer edge of the plate portion 1121 toward the first fluid port A. The outer wall of the annular portion 1122 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the shell 111 and is welded and fixed.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 1B As shown, the housing 111 includes a first straight cylinder portion 1111, a first cone ring portion 1112, a second straight cylinder portion 1113, a second cone ring portion 1114, and a third straight cylinder portion 1115. The first cone ring portion 1112 connects the first straight cylinder portion 1111 and the second straight cylinder portion 1113, the inner diameter of the first straight cylinder portion 1111 is greater than the inner diameter of the second straight cylinder portion 1113, and the inner diameter of one end of the first cone ring portion 1112 connected to the first straight cylinder portion 1111 is greater than the inner diameter of one end of the first cone ring portion 1112 connected to the second straight cylinder portion 1113. Thus, the first cone ring portion 1112 can play an axial pre-positioning role on the seat body 112 during assembly. The seat body 112 is located in the first straight cylinder portion 1111 and is welded and fixed to the first straight cylinder portion 1111.
[0028] The second cone ring portion 1114 connects the second straight tube portion 1113 and the third straight tube portion 1115. The inner diameter of the third straight tube portion 1115 is larger than the inner diameter of the second straight tube portion 1113, and the inner diameter of one end of the second cone ring portion 1114 connected to the second straight tube portion 1113 is smaller than the inner diameter of one end of the second cone ring portion 1114 connected to the third straight tube portion 1115. That is, the third straight tube portion 1115 is flared, which serves as the connection portion Z described below.
[0029] The shell 111 may be processed by stretching / expanding a stainless steel tube having the same diameter as the second straight tube portion 1113 on both sides, or by shrinking, stretching, and expanding a stainless steel tube having the same diameter as the first straight tube portion 1111, or by shrinking, stretching, and expanding a stainless steel tube having the same diameter as the third straight tube portion 1115.
[0030] In the above solution, the housing 111 and the seat 112 not only meet the lead-free material requirements, but also have a small number of parts. The seat 112 is welded inside the housing 111, and no leaking welding points of the control valve are added.
[0031] The connecting sleeve 12 is also made of stainless steel. In this embodiment, the connecting sleeve 12 is specifically a machined part. The connecting sleeve 12 is specifically cylindrical and is welded and fixed to the end of the first straight tube portion 1111 away from the first fluid port A. The two can be fixed by laser welding.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the valve body component 1 also includes a joint 13. The joint 13 is also made of stainless steel material. The joint 13 is an axially through cylindrical structure. The joint 13 includes a through hole 131, and the through hole 131 is connected to the inner cavity of the housing 111. One end of the joint 13 extends from the annular protrusion 1110 into the housing 111, and the outer wall of the joint 13 is welded and fixed to the annular protrusion 1110. The end of the joint 13 away from the housing 111 forms a second fluid port B (i.e., the end of the through hole 131 away from the housing 111) for fluid to enter or flow out.
[0033] It should be noted that, in the embodiments described herein, the connector 13 may not be provided, and the first interface B1 may be directly used as the second fluid port B.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the control valve further includes a first filter element 4, which is at least partially located in the annular portion 1122 of the seat body 112, and the first filter element 4 is welded and fixed to the seat body 112. The function of the first filter element 4 is to filter the fluid. The first filter element 4 is also made of stainless steel.
[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the connecting sleeve 12 has internal threads and external threads, the first valve bonnet 5 of the control valve is externally mounted on the connecting sleeve 12 , the first valve bonnet 5 has internal threads, and the first valve bonnet 5 is threadedly connected to the external threads of the connecting sleeve 12 .
[0036] The switch component 2 includes a pin 21, which includes an external thread. The pin 21 is at least partially located in the connecting sleeve 12. The pin 21 is threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve 12. The pin 21 can rotate relative to the connecting sleeve 12 under the action of external force and control the longitudinal displacement of the valve in the axial direction of the connecting sleeve 12, that is, the longitudinal direction of the control valve.
[0037] like Figure 1-3As shown, the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 12 includes a first external thread section 121, a first insertion section 122 and a first radially outwardly protruding section 123. The first external thread section 121 has an external thread. The first radially outwardly protruding section 123 is located between the first external thread section 121 and the first insertion section 122. The first radially outwardly protruding section 123 radially protrudes outward relative to the root of the first external thread section 121 and the outer wall of the first insertion section 122. The first insertion section 122 is inserted into the housing 111. In the longitudinal direction of the control valve, the first radially outwardly protruding section 123 abuts against the upper end of the first straight cylinder portion 1111 of the housing 111. The outer wall of the first insertion section 122 is interference fit with the inner wall of the housing 111. The upper end of the first straight cylinder portion 1111 is welded and fixed to the connecting sleeve 12. The design of the first insertion section 122 and the first radially outwardly protruding section 123 facilitates the radial positioning and axial positioning of the connecting sleeve 12 and the housing 111.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 12 includes a first internal thread segment 124, a first radial inward convex segment 125, and a first guide segment 126. The first internal thread segment 124 has an internal thread, and the first radial inward convex segment 125 radially protrudes inward relative to the root of the first internal thread segment 124 and the first guide segment 126. The inner diameter of the first guide segment 126 is larger than the inner diameter of the first radial inward convex segment 125, and the first guide segment 126 can guide the axial movement of the switch component 2.
[0039] The pin 21 includes a second external thread section 211, a second radially outwardly protruding section 212, a third radially outwardly protruding section 213, a seal installation section 214, and a pin guide section 215. The seal installation section 214 is cylindrical, and the seal 22 is sleeved on the seal installation section 214. The seal 22 abuts against the outer wall of the seal installation section 214 and the inner wall of the first guide section 126 of the connecting sleeve 12. The outer wall of the second radially outwardly protruding section 212 and the outer wall of the third radially outwardly protruding section 213 protrude radially outward relative to the outer wall of the seal installation section 214. In the longitudinal direction of the control valve, the second radially outwardly protruding section 212 and the third radially outwardly protruding section 213 limit the seal 22 in the axial direction. The first radially inwardly protruding section 125 of the connecting sleeve 12 cooperates with the second radially outwardly protruding section 212 of the pin 21, so that the switch component 2 will not fall out from the upper end of the connecting sleeve 12 in the longitudinal direction of the control valve. That is, the first radially inner convex section 125 has an axially upward anti-detachment effect on the switch component 2. The pin 21 is installed from the lower end of the connecting sleeve 12, and the connecting sleeve 12 does not need to be separately provided with a part to prevent the pin 21 from detaching from the connecting sleeve 12, thereby reducing the number of parts and simplifying the assembly process. Specifically in this embodiment, the cross-sections of the first radially inner convex section 125 and the second radially outer convex section 212 are both circular, and the outer diameter of the second radially outer convex section 212 is greater than the inner diameter of the first radially inner convex section 125.
[0040] The cross section of the third radial outward protrusion section 213 is also circular. The outer diameters of the second radial outward protrusion section 212 and the third radial outward protrusion section 213 may be equal or unequal. In this embodiment, as a preferred solution, the outer diameters of the two are equal to facilitate processing.
[0041] The second radial outward convex section 212, the third radial outward convex section 213 and the seal 22 are located in the connecting sleeve 12. The second radial outward convex section 212, the third radial outward convex section 213 and the seal 22 are slidably matched with the first guide section 126 of the connecting sleeve 12, and the seal 22 is dynamically sealed with the first guide section 126.
[0042] The pin guide section 215 is located at the lower side of the third radially outwardly protruding section 213. In the present embodiment, the pin guide section 215 is specifically cylindrical. Of course, the shape of the pin guide section 215 is not limited to cylindrical, as long as it can adapt to the valve core component 3 to realize its function.
[0043] The pin guide section 215 is provided with a valve core component 3. In this embodiment, the valve core component 3 is specifically a valve core 31, which is made of a non-metallic material. The valve core 31 is selected from a material with high efficiency sealing and excellent temperature resistance. The valve core 31 can be made of a polymer material such as polytetrafluoroethylene with good creep resistance. The pin 21 is made of stainless steel. The valve core 31 includes a secondary valve port 30, and the pin 21 can open or close the secondary valve port 30.
[0044] Specifically, if Figure 1-3 and Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the valve core 31 is cylindrical as a whole. Of course, its structure is not limited to this, as long as it can cooperate with the pin 21 to achieve its function. In this embodiment, the valve core 31 is cylindrical as a whole with an axial through hole, that is, the valve core 31 is an axial through structure, and the valve core 31 includes an axially through valve core guide section 311 and an axially through valve core sealing section 312. The flow area of the valve core guide section 311 is larger than the flow area of the valve core sealing section 312. In this embodiment, the valve core 31 includes a large-diameter section and a small-diameter section. The large-diameter section serves as the valve core guide section 311, and the small-diameter section serves as the valve core sealing section 312.
[0045] The cross-sections of the inner holes of the valve core guide section 311 and the valve core sealing section 312 are both circular, and the inner diameter of the valve core guide section 311 is larger than the inner diameter of the valve core sealing section 312. The portion below the valve core guide section 311 is the valve core sealing section 312. The pin guide section 215 is at least partially located in the valve core guide section 311 and can be slidably matched with the valve core guide section 311. The pin guide section 215 can guide the sliding of the valve core 31. The pin guide section is directly formed on the pin 21, which improves the reliability of the operation of the valve core 31.
[0046] In the longitudinal direction of the control valve, the projection of the outer edge of the valve core guide section 311 of the valve core 31 is located within the projection of the inner wall of the first guide section 126 of the connecting sleeve 12, so that when the control valve is in the first working mode, the valve core guide section 311 of the valve core 31 is at least partially located in the first guide section 126, which is conducive to the rational use of space and the reduction of the longitudinal size of the control valve. In addition, in the process of switching from the second working mode or the third working mode described below to the first working mode, the first guide section 126 of the connecting sleeve 12 can further guide the axial movement of the valve core 31, that is, starting from the upper end of the valve core 31 sliding into the first guide section 126, the inner side of the valve core 31 is guided by the pin guide section 215, and the outer side of the valve core 31 is also guided by the first guide section 126 of the connecting sleeve 12. The valve core 31 is well guided, and the valve core 31 does not deflect axially during its axial displacement, thereby improving the operation reliability of the valve core 31 and preventing it from getting stuck.
[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the valve core guide section 311 includes a communication channel. When the pin 21 opens the auxiliary valve port 30, the communication channel can be communicated with the auxiliary valve port 30. Specifically, in this embodiment, the communication channel is a through hole provided on the side wall of the valve core guide section 311. The communication channel communicates with the side wall and outer wall of the large hole section 311. In this embodiment, it is specifically a radial through hole that penetrates the side wall of the valve core guide section 311. The communication channel includes a first communication channel 3111 and a second communication channel 3112. The first communication channel 3111 and the second communication channel 3112 are radially connected on the valve core guide section 311, which is convenient for processing. The valve core sealing section 312 of the valve core 31 has the aforementioned auxiliary valve port 30. The pin 21 can open or close the auxiliary valve port 30. In this embodiment, the valve core sealing section 312 is located at the lower side of the pin guide section 215. Of course, it can be understood that the lower end of the pin guide section 215 can also be directly used as the valve core sealing section. It is understandable that the communication channel may also be of other structural designs, for example, it may be Fig.10 As shown, the valve core 31A includes a valve core guide section 311A, and the inner wall of the valve core guide section 311A has a groove 300, and the groove 300 extends to the upper surface of the valve core guide section 311A. In the second working mode described in this article, the first fluid port A and the second fluid port B can be connected through the groove 300, the auxiliary valve port 30 and the main valve port 1120. There is no restriction on the number and specific shape. It should be noted that in this embodiment, only one example of the valve core 31A is shown, and the groove 300 in the valve core 31A is not limited to the shape of vertically passing through the valve core guide side section 311A from top to bottom as shown in the figure. It can also be a straight-through structure extending from the upper surface of the valve core 31A to the lower surface of the valve core 31A, as long as it is not connected with the auxiliary valve port and does not affect the valve core 31A and the pin 21 to close the main valve port.
[0048] Alternatively, the valve core structure is as follows Fig.11 As shown, the valve core 31B includes at least one notch, the notch passes through the inner side and the outer side of the valve core guide section 311B, and the notch extends to the upper surface of the valve core guide section 311B.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the control valve further includes a second filter element 6, which is located in the valve body component 1. In this embodiment, the second filter element 6 is located in the inner cavity of the housing 111, and the second filter element 6 is welded and fixed to one end of the connector 13 close to the valve core 31. The function of the second filter element 6 is to filter the fluid entering from the second fluid port B. The second filter element 6 is also made of stainless steel.
[0050] The control valve of the present application not only has a simple internal structure, but also can realize the following three working modes:
[0051] The first working mode:
[0052] like Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the control valve of the first embodiment in the first working mode. The pin 21 is in a first relative position relative to the connecting sleeve 12, and the fluid enters from the first fluid port A. Under the action of the fluid pressure difference, the fluid flows to the main valve port 1120 and then pushes the valve core 31 open, so that the valve core 31 slides axially upward relative to the pin 21, and the valve core 31 leaves the main valve port 1120, and the first fluid port A is connected with the second fluid port B.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the control valve includes a first flow channel X for fluid to flow from the first fluid port A to the main valve port 1120, and the minimum flow area of the first flow channel X is greater than the flow area of the main valve port 1120, so that the main valve port 1120 has a throttling function in this working mode. When the control valve is applied to an air-conditioning system, in this working mode, the control valve realizes the throttling function in the cooling state.
[0054] The second working mode:
[0055] like Figure 2 , which shows a structural schematic diagram of the control valve of the first embodiment when it is in the second working mode.
[0056] As shown in the figure, the pin 21 is in the first relative position relative to the connecting sleeve 12, and the fluid enters from the second fluid port B. The valve core 31 can slide relative to the pin 21 toward the main valve port 1120 under its own gravity and close the main valve port. At this time, the fluid can flow out in sequence through the connecting channel of the valve core 31, the interior of the valve core 31, the auxiliary valve port 30, the main valve port 1120 and the first fluid port A. When the control valve is used in an air-conditioning system, in this working mode, the control valve realizes the throttling function in the heating state.
[0057] In this mode, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, since the valve core 31 is designed with a valve core guide section 311 and a valve core sealing section 312, the minimum flow area of the valve core sealing section 312 is smaller than the flow area of the main valve port 1120, and the valve core sealing section 312 has a certain length in the axial direction of the valve core, then the benefit of the valve core sealing section 312 is that it is equivalent to adding a throttling line between the main valve port 1120 and the second fluid port B, which is also equivalent to extending the throttling time or extending the length of the throttling flow channel, thereby improving the heating effect when it is used in an air-conditioning system.
[0058] The third working mode:
[0059] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, in this working mode, the control valve has a cut-off function. Specifically, as shown in the figure, compared with Figure 1 or Figure 2 The pin 21 is shown in a first relative position relative to the connecting sleeve 12. Figure 3 In the state shown, the pin 21 is in a second relative position relative to the connecting sleeve 12. The second relative position is in the first relative position state. Figure 2 In the state shown, the pin 21 is threadedly rotated relative to the connecting sleeve 12 in the direction close to the main valve port 1120, and the pin 21 is axially closed to the auxiliary valve port 30 of the valve core 31 according to the specified torque. The valve core 31 is further pressed against the seat body 112 through force transmission, so that the valve core 31 further closes the main valve port 1120, thereby improving the leakage of the control valve at the main valve port 1120, and the valve core 31 can cut off the connection between the first fluid port A and the second fluid port B.
[0060] When the main valve port 1120 needs to be opened, the pin 21 is moved upward relative to the connecting sleeve 12 , and then the valve core 31 can leave the main valve port 1120 under the action of the fluid pressure entering from the first fluid port A.
[0061] The pin 21 can not only guide the valve core 31 but also close the auxiliary valve port. Compared with the background technology, there is no need to separately connect parts for closing the auxiliary valve port, and the internal structure of the control valve is also simpler than the background technology.
[0062] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the lower end surface of the valve core 31 abuts against the upper end surface of the seat body 112 to close the main valve port 1120. In order to further improve the sealing performance of the cooperation between the two, at least one annular groove 3121A surrounding the auxiliary valve port 30 is designed on the lower end surface of the valve core 31, that is, the end surface of the valve core sealing section 312 facing the main valve port 1120, or as shown in the figure, Figure 6 The end surface of the valve core sealing section 312 facing the main valve port 1120 is designed with at least one circle of lower annular ribs 3121B surrounding the auxiliary valve port 30, or it can also be as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, an upper annular rib 1121A is designed around the main valve port 1120 and surrounds the main valve port 1120 in at least one circle toward the lower end surface of the valve core, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, the upper annular rib 1121A is provided on the plate portion 1121 of the seat body 112. The contact area between the valve core 31 and the seat body 112 is reduced by the aforementioned annular groove 3121A, or the lower annular rib 3121B or the upper annular rib 1121A, thereby increasing the sealing pressure ratio and improving the sealing effect.
