Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of refrigeration, in particular to a stop valve and a refrigeration system thereof. Background Art

[0002] Stop valves are widely used in refrigeration systems, and can open and close pipelines by moving the valve core.

[0003] In order to improve the sealing effect between the valve core and the valve body, a sealing groove is usually opened on the outer peripheral wall of the valve core, and a sealing ring is installed in the sealing groove. In the related art, the sealing groove is usually opened outside the operating hole of the valve core for the wrench to insert and twist. The opening of the sealing groove will cause the wall thickness of the corresponding position of the valve core to become thinner, increasing the possibility of the valve core breaking under high pressure conditions or frequent wrench operation conditions.

[0004] Considering the compatibility of universal standard wrenches, the size of the operating hole cannot be reduced. If the valve core is increased radially outward in thickness, this will not only increase material costs, but also cause the valve body and other structures that match the original size of the valve core to be changed, which is not conducive to production efficiency. In summary, under multiple restrictions, how to improve the reliability of the valve core while setting a sealing groove is a technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the utility model provides a stop valve for the above technical problems.

[0006] A stop valve, the stop valve comprising: a valve body, the interior of the valve body having a passage for medium flow, the passage comprising a valve port; a valve core, the valve core is installed in the valve body and can move along the axial direction of the valve core to abut or move away from the valve port to close or open the passage; wherein the valve core has a top end away from the valve port and a bottom end close to the valve port, an operating hole is provided at the top end of the valve core, the operating hole comprises an inner hexagonal hole and a chip removal hole which are interconnected, and the inner hexagonal hole is located on a side of the chip removal hole close to the top end of the valve core, the aperture of the inner hexagonal hole is larger than the aperture of the chip removal hole, a sealing groove for installing a sealing ring is provided on the outer peripheral side of the valve core, and the sealing groove is located radially outside the chip removal hole.

[0007] In such a configuration, at least part of the operating hole is a hexagonal hole, which is adapted to a hexagonal wrench and can transfer the force on the hexagonal wrench to the valve core, so that the hexagonal wrench can twist the valve core. In addition, the sealing groove is opened on the radially outer side of the chip removal hole, and the hexagonal hole is located on the side of the chip removal hole close to the top, so the opening position of the hexagonal hole is located on the side of the sealing groove close to the top, and not on the radially inner side of the sealing section. Therefore, although the sealing groove will cause the wall thickness of the corresponding section of the valve core to become thinner, since the hexagonal hole is opened above the sealing groove, the inner diameter of the chip removal hole located in the sealing groove can be set smaller (if the inner side of the sealing groove is a hexagonal hole, since the hexagonal hole needs to be adapted to the hexagonal wrench of the standard part, the inner diameter of the hexagonal hole cannot be changed), thereby compensating for the reduced valve core wall thickness caused by the sealing groove, so as to ensure the structural strength of the valve core, and avoid damage to the valve core structure.

[0008] In one embodiment, along the axial direction of the valve core, the depth of the operating hole is at least half of the axial length of the valve core.

[0009] In one embodiment, the operating hole further includes a chip removal hole, and the hexagonal hole and the chip removal hole are coaxially arranged.

[0010] In one embodiment, along the axial direction of the valve core, the chip removal hole is a cylindrical hole with a uniform inner diameter.

[0011] In one embodiment, a clamping hole coaxially arranged with the valve core is further provided at the bottom end of the valve core, and the clamping hole is a tapered hole.

[0012] In one embodiment, the shortest distance between the chip removal hole and the clamping hole is H, and H≥2mm.

[0013] In one embodiment, the valve core includes a sealing section, and the valve core with the chip removal hole on the inner side is the sealing section. At least two sealing grooves are opened on the outer peripheral wall of the sealing section. The two sealing grooves are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the valve core, and a sealing member is arranged in each sealing groove.

[0014] In one embodiment, the two sealing grooves are respectively a first sealing groove and a second sealing groove, the first sealing groove is arranged close to the top end of the valve core, the second sealing groove is arranged close to the bottom end of the valve core, and a groove wall on one side of the second sealing groove close to the bottom end of the valve core is inclined toward the bottom end of the valve core relative to the depth direction of the second sealing groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, a first opening is formed on one side of the valve body, and a second opening is formed on the other side, wherein the first opening and the second opening are both connected to the passage, and the valve body further comprises a valve seat, wherein the valve seat is located in the passage, and the valve port is formed on the valve seat.

[0016] A refrigeration system comprises the stop valve as described above.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model arranges the hexagonal hole in the operating hole and the sealing groove on the outer peripheral side of the valve core in an axially offset manner, so that the hexagonal hole whose inner diameter cannot be changed is located above the sealing groove, and the radial inner side of the sealing groove corresponds to the chip removal hole. The inner diameter of the chip removal hole can be set smaller to ensure that the wall thickness of the valve core is not too small, thereby avoiding problems such as damage to the valve core during long-term use.

[0029] The utility model provides a stop valve 100, wherein an operating hole 21 is provided on a valve core 20, and the operating hole 21 comprises an inner hexagonal hole 211 for cooperating with an external wrench 30, and a sealing groove on the outer peripheral side of the valve core 20 and the inner hexagonal hole 211 are axially staggered to ensure that the wall thickness of the valve core 20 is not too small, so as to avoid the valve core 20 from being damaged during long-term use.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 4The stop valve 100 includes a valve body 10 and a valve core 20. The valve body 10 has a passage 14 for medium flow inside. The passage 14 includes a valve port 111. The valve core 20 is installed in the valve body 10 and can move along the axial direction of the valve core 20 to abut or move away from the valve port 111 to close or open the passage 14, so that the passage 14 is connected or blocked. The valve core 20 has a top end away from the valve port 111 and a bottom end close to the valve port 111. The top end of the valve core 20 is provided with an operating hole 21. The operating hole 21 includes an inner hexagon hole 211 and a chip removal hole 212, and the inner hexagon hole 211 is located close to the chip removal hole 212. On one side near the top of the valve core 20, the aperture of the hexagonal hole 211 is larger than the aperture of the chip removal hole 212. The valve core 20 includes a hexagonal section 22 and a sealing section 23. The valve core 20 with the hexagonal hole 211 on the radial inner side is the hexagonal section 22, and the sealing section 23 with the chip removal hole 212 on the radial inner side. A sealing groove for installing a sealing ring is provided on the outer peripheral side of the chip removal hole 212. In this way, at least a portion of the operating hole 21 is the hexagonal hole 211, and the hexagonal hole 211 is adapted to the hexagonal wrench 30, and can transmit the force on the hexagonal wrench 30 to the valve core 20, so that the hexagonal wrench 30 can twist the valve core 20. In addition, the sealing groove is opened on the radially outer side of the chip removal hole 212, and the hexagonal hole 211 is located on the side of the chip removal hole 212 close to the top. Therefore, the opening position of the hexagonal hole 211 is located on the side of the sealing groove close to the top, and not on the radially inner side of the sealing section 23. Therefore, although the sealing groove opened on the sealing section 23 will cause the wall thickness of the corresponding section of the valve core 20 to become thinner, since the hexagonal hole 211 is opened above the sealing groove, the inner diameter of the chip removal hole 212 located in the sealing section 23 can be set to be smaller (if the inner side of the sealing groove is the hexagonal hole 211, since the hexagonal hole 211 needs to be adapted to the standard hexagonal wrench 30, the inner diameter of the hexagonal hole 211 cannot be changed), thereby compensating for the reduced wall thickness of the valve core 20 caused by the sealing groove to ensure the structural strength of the valve core 20 and avoid structural damage to the valve core 20.

[0031] In addition, since the diameter of the hexagonal hole 211 in the prior art is relatively large, the outer diameter of the sealing groove opened on the hexagonal section 22 of the valve core 20 is also increased accordingly. Therefore, the size of the seal 27 embedded in the sealing groove and the inner wall of the valve body 10 forming the passage 14 are relatively large. Compared with the prior art, the sealing section 23 of the hexagonal section 22 of the valve core 20 of the present application is staggered, and the sealing section 23, the sealing groove opened on the sealing section 23, and the seal 27 arranged on the sealing section 23 are not restricted by the inner diameter of the hexagonal section 22. Therefore, the size can be reduced to reduce the thickness of the entire valve body 10 and save consumables.

[0032] The chip removal hole 212 is used to accommodate the debris generated during the machining of the operating hole 21, and serves as a tool withdrawal groove to facilitate the machining tool to withdraw from the operating hole 21. The chip removal hole 212 is coaxially arranged with the hexagonal hole 211 to facilitate machining.

[0033] In this embodiment, along the axial direction of the valve core 20, the chip removal hole 212 is a cylindrical hole with a uniform inner diameter, and the diameter of the chip removal hole 212 is smaller than the diameter of the inner hexagonal hole 211. In this way, the chip removal hole 212 is convenient for processing as a cylindrical hole, and the diameter of the chip removal hole 212 is smaller than the diameter of the inner hexagonal hole 211. After the inner diameter is reduced, the distance between the hole wall of the chip removal hole 212 and the outer peripheral wall of the valve core 20 becomes farther, and the wall thickness of the valve core 20 is naturally increased, thereby improving the structural strength of the valve core 20.

[0034] Furthermore, along the axial direction of the valve core 20, the depth of the operating hole 21 is at least half of the axial length of the valve core 20. In this way, the valve core 20 can be made lighter and consumables can be reduced.

[0035] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the depth of the operating hole 21 reaches 60%, 70%, 80%, etc. of the length of the valve core 20, and is not limited to exactly half of the above.

[0036] Since the operating hole 21 is divided into a hexagonal hole 211 and a chip removal hole 212 , the increase in the depth of the operating hole 21 here mainly increases the length of the chip removal hole 212 . The hexagonal hole 211 is always located on the side of the sealing section 23 close to the top of the valve core 20 to ensure the wall thickness of the valve core 20 .

[0037] The bottom end of the valve core 20 is also provided with a clamping hole 24 coaxially arranged with the valve core 20, and the clamping hole 24 is a tapered hole, so as to facilitate clamping and fixing the valve core 20 during processing of the valve core 20. The tapered hole facilitates the clamping work, and the obliquely arranged side wall of the tapered hole can guide the clamping tool to abut against the deepest part of the tapered hole, thereby providing a stable clamping effect.

[0038] In other embodiments, the clamping hole 24 may also be configured as a circular arc hole or a rectangular hole with a cross section, and is not limited to the above-mentioned tapered hole.

[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, the shortest distance between the chip removal hole 212 and the clamping hole 24 is H, H ≥ 2mm. It should be explained that the shortest distance between the chip removal hole 212 and the clamping hole 24 refers to the distance between the bottom of the chip removal hole 212 close to the bottom of the valve core 20 and the bottom of the clamping hole 24 close to the top of the valve core 20, where the distance between the two is the shortest. Setting the distance between the two to be at least 2mm can ensure the structural strength of the part of the valve core 20 between the two, and avoid the problem of penetrating the valve core 20 when the distance between the two is too close.

[0040] At least two sealing grooves are formed on the outer peripheral wall of the sealing section 23, and the two sealing grooves are spaced apart along the axial direction of the valve core 20, and a sealing member 27 is disposed in each sealing groove. In this way, the inner wall of the sealing member 27 abuts against the groove wall of the sealing groove of the valve core 20, and the outer wall of the sealing member 27 abuts against the inner wall of the passage 14 formed by the valve body 10, thereby improving the sealing performance between the valve core 20 and the valve body 10, and at least two sealing grooves and sealing members 27 are correspondingly disposed, further improving the sealing performance.

[0041] Furthermore, the two sealing grooves are respectively a first sealing groove 25 and a second sealing groove 26, the first sealing groove 25 is arranged near the top of the valve core 20, the second sealing groove 26 is arranged near the bottom of the valve core 20, and a groove wall of the second sealing groove 26 near the bottom of the valve core 20 is inclined toward the bottom of the valve core 20 relative to the depth direction of the second sealing groove 26. In this way, the inclined groove wall can guide the seal 27, so that the seal 27 can enter the sealing groove easily.

[0042] A first opening 12 is provided on one side of the valve body 10, and a second opening 13 is provided on the other side. The first opening 12 and the second opening 13 are both connected to the passage 14. The valve body 10 further includes a valve seat 11, which is located in the passage 14, and a valve port 111 is provided on the valve seat 11. The valve port 111 is connected to the first opening 12 and the second opening 13. The valve core 20 moves along the axial direction and abuts or disengages from the valve port 111. The refrigerant medium flows between the first opening 12 and the second opening 13, and the valve port 111 can control the on-off between the first opening 12 and the second opening 13. Therefore, the abutment of the valve core 20 and the valve port 111 can control the on-off of the stop valve 100.

[0043] The utility model also provides a refrigeration system, comprising the stop valve 100 as described above.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the utility model arranges the hexagonal hole 211 in the operating hole 21 and the sealing groove on the outer peripheral side of the valve core 20 in an axially offset manner, so that the hexagonal hole 211 whose inner diameter cannot be changed is located above the sealing groove, and the radial inner side of the sealing groove corresponds to the chip removal hole 212. The inner diameter of the chip removal hole 212 can be set smaller to ensure that the wall thickness of the valve core 20 is not too small, thereby avoiding problems such as damage of the valve core 20 during long-term use.

[0045] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0046] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
