[0021] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides an electric valve, particularly an electric three-way valve, which includes a drive component 1, a valve body 2, a lead screw 3, a first valve core 4, a second valve core 5, a first elastic element 6, and a second elastic element 7.

[0024] The drive component 1 is fixedly connected to the valve body 2, forming a valve cavity 21 inside the valve body 2. The valve body 2 is provided with a first interface 22, a second interface 23, and a third interface 24. The first interface 22, the second interface 23, and the third interface 24 are spaced apart in the axial direction by a predetermined distance and are respectively connected to the valve cavity 21. In the axial direction of the valve body 2, the second interface 23 is located below the first interface 22. In this embodiment, the second interface 23 is located on the bottom surface of the valve body 2. In the axial direction of the valve body 2, the third interface 24 is located above the first interface 22.

[0025] The first valve port 25 is positioned between the first interface 22 and the second interface 23 along the circumference of the valve cavity 21, and the second valve port 26 is positioned between the first interface 22 and the third interface 24 along the circumference of the valve cavity 21. This means that the first valve port 25 is located at the lower end of the second valve port 26, and the first sealing part 56 and the second sealing part 55 of the second valve core 5 move between the first valve port 25 and the second valve port 26 to achieve the switching of the flow channel.

[0026] On one hand, the first valve port 25 is a sealing ring made of PTFE material, and the second valve port 26 is a sealing ring made of PTFE material. The first valve port 25 and the second valve port 26 have the same structure and are distributed in a mirror image on the upper and lower sides of the first interface 22. By changing the traditional metal-to-metal hard seal of the electric valve to a soft seal of PTFE and metal, the sealing performance of the electric valve can be improved.

[0027] On the other hand, the first valve port 25 includes a fixing part 251 and a sealing part 252. The fixing part 251 is press-fitted into the groove of the valve body 2, and the sealing part 252 is an annular boss with an inclined surface, the annular boss facing the first sealing part 56. By fitting the PTFE ring into the metal groove, when the valve is closed, the PTFE sealing ring and the metal valve core form a sealing structure. This achieves a soft seal with superior sealing performance and ensures that the PTFE sealing ring is not easily deformed, effectively improving the product's durability.

[0028] The driving component 1 includes a stator assembly 11, a rotor assembly 12, and a nut assembly 13. The stator assembly 11 includes a coil assembly, which generates an excitation magnetic field when the stator assembly 11 is energized. The rotor assembly 12 includes a rotor component 121 sleeved inside the stator assembly 11, a connecting component 122 rotating integrally with the rotor component 121, and a bearing 123 disposed between the connecting component 122 and the valve body 2. The rotor component 121 and the connecting component 122 can rotate in the excitation magnetic field generated by the stator assembly 11. The nut assembly 13 includes a plastic nut 131 rotating integrally with the connecting component 122. The threaded portion 33 of the lead screw 3 is sleeved inside the plastic nut 131 and threadedly engaged with the nut assembly 13.

[0029] The lead screw 3 is located inside the valve cavity 21 and is threadedly engaged with the nut assembly 13, converting the rotational motion of the rotor assembly 12 into the linear motion of the lead screw 3. Under the drive of the drive component 1, the lead screw 3 can move up and down along the axial direction of the valve body 2, thereby driving the axial movement of the first valve core 4 and the second valve core 5.

[0030] See appendix Figure 3 , 4 A first boss 31 is provided in the middle region of the lead screw 3, and a limiting part 32 is provided at the end of the lead screw 3 away from the driving component 1. The first valve core 4 is sleeved on the lead screw 3 and placed between the first boss 31 and the limiting part 32. The first valve core 4 can move relative to the lead screw 3, and the first boss 31 and the limiting part 32 can play a limiting role.

[0031] The first valve core 4 includes a base portion 41 sleeved on the lead screw 3 and a sleeve portion 42 disposed on the base portion 41. The base portion 41 and the sleeve portion 42 are integral structures. The first elastic member 6 is located inside the sleeve portion 42, and the second elastic member 7 is located outside the sleeve portion 42.

[0032] The second valve core 5 is placed inside the valve cavity 21. A first channel 51 and a second channel 52 are provided inside the second valve core 5. The first channel 51 is located at the upper part of the second valve core 5. The first valve core 4 is placed in the first channel 51. The second channel 52 is located at the lower part of the second valve core 5. The outer diameter of the limiting part 32 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second channel 52 and can move into the second channel 52. The outer diameter of the first valve core 4 is larger than the inner diameter of the second channel 52. The second channel 52 can allow the limiting part 32 to pass through and can block the first valve core 4 from passing through.

[0033] The second valve core 5 has a sealing section 53, a flow channel section 54, a second sealing part 55, and a first sealing part 56 formed on its exterior. The sealing section 53 is formed on the outer side of the second valve core 5. The outer wall of the sealing section 53 is attached to the inner wall of the valve cavity 21 and can move along the valve cavity 21. A sealing ring is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the sealing section 53. The sealing ring divides the valve cavity 21 into a flow channel area located in the lower part of the valve cavity 1 and a control area located in the upper part of the valve cavity 1. The flow channel area controls the flow direction of the valve body 2, and the control area can accommodate the first valve core 4, the first elastic element 6, and the second elastic element 7.

[0034] The flow channel section 54 is located at the lower part of the sealing section 53. The outer diameter of at least a portion of the flow channel section 54 is smaller than the inner diameter of the valve cavity 21. The flow channel area formed by the flow channel section 54 can connect the first interface 22 and the second interface 23, the first interface 22 and the third interface 24, thereby realizing the switching of the electric valve flow channel.

[0035] In this embodiment, the flow channel section 54 is recessed from the lower part of the sealing section 53 toward the center line of the valve body 2 to form a first conical surface. The first conical surface extends downward along the lower part of the first conical surface to form a cylindrical surface. The cylindrical surface extends downward along the lower part of the cylindrical surface and protrudes toward the inner wall of the valve cavity 21 to form a second conical surface. The driving component 1 controls the position of the second valve core 5 through the lead screw 3, thereby controlling the distance between the first conical surface and the second interface 23 and the distance between the second conical surface and the first interface 22, so as to realize the proportional adjustment of the flow rate.

[0036] The second sealing part 55 is disposed on the outer surface of the second valve core 5 and can abut against the second valve port 26 to form a sealing surface. The second sealing part 55 is conical, and the contact portion of the second valve port 26 has a vertical cut edge. Specifically, the second sealing part 55 is located at the lower part of the flow channel section 54, that is, the lower part of the second conical surface, and the outer diameter of the second sealing part 55 is larger than the inner diameter of the first valve port 25 and smaller than the inner diameter of the valve cavity 21 between the first valve port 25 and the second valve port 26. When the second sealing part 55 abuts against the second valve port 26, it restricts the further movement of the lead screw 3 and the second sealing part 55. When the second sealing part 55 does not abut against the second valve port 26, the first interface 22 and the second interface 23 are connected.

[0037] The first sealing part 56 is disposed on the outer surface of the second valve core 5 and can abut against the first valve port 25 to form a sealing surface. Specifically, the first sealing part 56 is located below the second sealing part 55 and is a predetermined distance away from the second sealing part 55. The outer diameter of the first sealing part 56 is larger than the inner diameter of the first valve port 25 and smaller than the inner diameter of the valve cavity 21 between the first valve port 25 and the second valve port 26. When the lead screw 3 moves downward until the first sealing part 56 abuts against the first valve port 25, it restricts further movement of the second valve core 5. When the first sealing part 56 does not abut against the first valve port 25, the first interface 22 and the second interface 23 are connected.

[0038] The first elastic element 6 is disposed between the first valve core 4 and the first boss portion 31. When the lead screw 3 moves downward to the point where the first sealing portion 56 abuts against the first valve port 25, the lead screw 3 continues to move downward to continuously compress the first elastic element 6. The first elastic element 6 pushes the second valve core 5 downward or maintains the second valve core 5 with a downward tendency.

[0039] The second elastic element 7 is disposed between the first valve core 4 and the second boss portion 57. When the lead screw 3 moves upward to the point where the second sealing portion 55 abuts against the second valve port 26, the lead screw 3 continues to move upward to continuously compress the second elastic element 7. The second elastic element 7 pushes the second valve core 5 to move upward or maintains the second valve core 5 with an upward tendency.

[0040] The valve cavity 21 is also provided with a limiting plate 8. The outer side of the limiting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the valve body 2. The limiting plate 8 is provided with a through hole 81. The lead screw 3 assembly passes through the through hole 81. The through hole 81 plays a limiting and guiding role, reducing the shaking of the end of the lead screw 3, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the electric valve.

[0041] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this embodiment, the working mode of the electric valve will now be briefly introduced based on the position state of the second valve core 5.

[0042] In the first state, the second sealing part 55 abuts against the second valve port 26, the first interface 22 is connected to the second interface 23, and the first interface 22 is disconnected from the third interface 24.

[0043] In the second state, the first sealing part 56 and the second sealing part 55 are located between the first valve port 25 and the second valve port 26. The first interface 22 is connected to the second interface 23. The flow rate can be proportionally adjusted by controlling the distance between the second conical surface and the first interface 22.

[0044] In the third state, the first sealing part 56 abuts against the first valve port 25, the first interface 22 is connected to the third interface 24, and the first interface 22 is disconnected from the second interface 23.

[0045] See appendix Figures 3 to 6 When the lead screw 3 moves upward and changes from the second state to the first state, the lead screw 3 drives the second valve core 5 to move upward until the second sealing part 55 abuts against the second valve port 26. Since the second valve core 5 is restricted by the second valve port 26 and remains stationary, the lead screw 3 drives the first valve core 4 to continue moving upward. The first valve core 4 continuously compresses the second elastic member 7. Even if the drive component 1 stops working, the second elastic member 7 can still push the second valve core 5 to move upward or maintain the second valve core 5 with an upward tendency, overcoming the thread clearance of the lead screw 3 moving downward, eliminating the gap between the lead screw 3 and the nut assembly 13, and ensuring the stable closure of the second valve port 26.

[0046] See appendix Figures 7 to 10 When the lead screw 3 moves upward and changes from the second state to the third state, the lead screw 3 drives the second valve core 5 to move downward until the first sealing part 56 abuts against the first valve port 25. The first valve core 4 is confined within the first channel 51. The lead screw 3 and the limiting part 32 continue to move downward, and the limiting part 32 continuously compresses the first elastic member 6. Even if the driving component 1 stops working, the first elastic member 6 pushes the second valve core 5 downward or maintains the second valve core 5 with a downward tendency, overcoming the thread clearance of the lead screw 3 moving upward, eliminating the gap between the lead screw 3 and the nut assembly 13, and ensuring the stable closure of the first valve port 25.

[0047] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the exemplary embodiments described above without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is intended that this invention cover modifications and variations falling within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
