Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a thermal expansion valve, which belongs to the technical field of vapor compression refrigeration and is suitable for various thermal expansion valves in automobile air-conditioning systems. Background Art

[0002] Thermostatic expansion valve is a basic component in automotive air conditioners. At present, there are many manufacturers producing thermostatic expansion valves, and the competition is very fierce. It is becoming more and more important to continuously improve the production efficiency of valves.

[0003] The structure of the existing known thermal expansion valve is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it is mainly composed of a thermal head 1, an O-ring A 2, a valve body 3, a transmission rod 4, a sealing ring 5, a valve needle 6, a steel ball assembly 7, a spring 8, an O-ring B 9, and an adjusting stud 10. The assembly of parts in this structure has the following inconveniences: first, it takes a long time to assemble the sealing ring 5 onto the transmission rod 4, because the inner diameter of the sealing ring 5 is small, while the wire diameter is large. The sealing ring 5 needs to be installed on the transmission rod 4, whose outer diameter is more than twice the inner diameter of the sealing ring 5. This process requires the help of a guide tooling to complete, and the production efficiency is not high; second, it takes a long time to assemble the valve needle 5 onto the valve body 3, and it requires the help of a guide tooling to complete, and the production efficiency is not high. The above two assembly inconveniences make the production efficiency of the expansion valve low. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the thermal expansion valve described in the utility model is to solve the above inconveniences and provide a new thermal expansion valve structure, which has a compact structure, reliable performance, and high production efficiency, and can be widely used in the field of automobile air-conditioning systems.

[0005] The thermal expansion valve of the utility model mainly comprises a thermal head, an O-ring, a valve body, a transmission rod valve needle assembly, a steel ball assembly, a spring, and an adjusting stud, and is characterized in that the transmission rod valve needle assembly consists of a transmission rod, a valve needle, and a sealing ring.

[0006] The utility model also includes the following additional technical features:

[0007] The transmission rod, the valve needle and the sealing ring are formed into a whole.

[0008] The internal thread on the transmission rod is connected with the external thread on the valve needle.

[0009] The sealing ring is positioned with the valve needle through the groove.

[0010] The utility model assembles the transmission rod, the valve needle and the sealing ring into a whole, thereby eliminating the need for assembly guide tooling, shortening the parts assembly time and improving the production efficiency.

[0011] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
