[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides an electronic expansion valve, including: a valve body structure, the valve body structure has a valve port; a valve core assembly 30, the valve core assembly 30 moves in the valve body structure to adjust the opening of the valve port; a rotor assembly, and the valve core assembly 30 is fixedly connected to drive the axial movement of the valve core assembly 30; a limit sleeve 40, the limit sleeve 40 is movably arranged in the valve body structure, the limit sleeve 40 is fixedly connected to the rotor assembly, the valve core assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the rotor assembly, and the inner wall of the limit sleeve 40 is provided with an inner spiral groove 41; a guide plate 50, the guide plate 50 is fixedly connected to the valve body structure; a stop ring 60, the stop ring 60 is movably arranged in the inner spiral groove 41, and the guide plate 50 cooperates with the stop ring 60 for stopping.

[0036] Among them, the valve body structure includes a valve tube 10 and a valve seat 20, the valve tube 10 and the valve seat 20 are fixedly connected, and the valve port is arranged in the valve seat 20; in an embodiment not shown in the figure in the present application, the valve body structure also includes a connecting piece, and the valve tube 10, the connecting piece and the valve seat 20 are connected in sequence.

[0037] With this solution, the fluid enters or flows out through the valve port of the valve seat 20, and the valve core assembly 30 moves in the valve body structure to control the opening and closing of the electronic expansion valve or adjust the opening of the valve port to control the flow of the fluid; the limit sleeve 40 is fixedly connected to the rotor assembly, the valve core assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the rotor assembly, the limit sleeve 40 and the valve core assembly 30 move synchronously in the valve body structure along with the rotor assembly, and the stop ring 60 moves along the inner spiral groove 41 of the limit sleeve 40. When the stop ring 60 runs to the two ends of the limit sleeve 40, the guide plate 50 stops the limit stop ring 60, and the stop ring 60 cooperates with the limit sleeve 40 to stop the limit sleeve 40, so that the limit sleeve 40 stops moving. By setting an internal thread on the limit sleeve 40, the stop ring 60 moves inside the limit sleeve 40, thereby preventing the stop ring 60 from being deformed by force and escaping from the limit sleeve 40. Furthermore, by limiting the stop ring 60 inside the limiting sleeve 40, the noise generated when the stopper contacts is effectively prevented from being transmitted to the outside, thus achieving a noise reduction effect.

[0038] The valve core assembly 30 may be an integral structure or a split structure. When the valve core assembly 30 is a split structure, it may include a screw, a valve needle sleeve, a valve needle, an elastic member, etc. When the valve core assembly 30 is an integral structure, the valve core assembly 30 is a screw with threads.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 40 is provided with a stop step 42 , which is located at the end of the inner spiral groove 41 away from the valve port or the end of the inner spiral groove 41 close to the valve port, and the stop step 42 limits the stop ring 60 .

[0040] In this arrangement, the stop step 42 is connected to one end of the inner spiral groove 41, and the stop ring 60 is limited by the stop step 42, so that when the stop ring 60 moves to the end of the limit sleeve 40, it stops and cooperates with the stop step 42, and the stop ring 60 and the limit sleeve 40 do not undergo relative displacement.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotor assembly includes a rotor 71 and a rotor connecting plate 80 . The rotor 71 is movably disposed in the valve tube 10 . The rotor connecting plate 80 is fixedly connected to the rotor 71 . The end surface of the rotor connecting plate 80 is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 40 .

[0042] In this way, the rotor connecting plate 80 fixedly connects the rotor 71 and the limiting sleeve 40, so that the rotor 71 rotates synchronously with the limiting sleeve 40. During processing, the rotor connecting plate 80 is injection-molded with the rotor 71 as an insert.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotor connecting plate 80 includes a plate body 82 and a boss 83 . The boss 83 is disposed at one end of the plate body 82 close to the limiting sleeve 40 , and the boss 83 is engaged with the stop ring 60 .

[0044] In this way, the boss is set at one end of the plate body 82 close to the limit sleeve 40. When the stop ring 60 moves to the end of the limit sleeve 40 close to the rotor connecting plate 80, the stop ring 60 contacts the boss 83, and the boss 83 stops the stop ring 60, so that the stop ring 60 and the limit sleeve 40 no longer move relative to each other.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the limiting sleeve 40 includes a sleeve 43 and a plurality of bosses 44 , the plurality of bosses 44 are arranged along the circumference of the sleeve 43 , the rotor connecting plate 80 is provided with a plurality of through holes 81 , the through holes 81 are limitedly matched with the bosses 44 , and the plurality of bosses 44 correspond one to one with the plurality of through holes 81 .

[0046] In this way, the plurality of bosses 44 correspond to the plurality of through holes 81 one by one, and the limiting sleeve 40 is connected to the rotor connecting plate 80. Specifically, the limiting sleeve 40 and the rotor connecting plate 80 are both injection molded, and of course the rotor connecting plate 80 can also be made of metal, and the bosses 44 pass through the through holes 81 and are connected to the end surface of the rotor connecting plate 80 by hot riveting.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the stop ring 60 includes a spiral ring 61 and an inwardly folded short rod 62 arranged at one end of the spiral ring 61 , and the inwardly folded short rod 62 is limitedly matched with the guide plate 50 .

[0048] In this way, the spiral ring 61 moves along the inner spiral groove 41, and an inner folded short rod 62 is provided at the end of the spiral ring 61, so that the inner folded short rod 62 is limitedly matched with the guide plate 50. When the stop ring 60 moves to the end of the limit sleeve 40, the stop ring 60 is stopped and matched with the limit sleeve 40, and the inner folded short rod 62 is stopped and matched with the guide plate, so that the limit sleeve 40 stops rotating. Specifically, the stop ring 60 and the stop step 42 at the upper end of the limit sleeve 40 are lower limited, that is, fully closed, and the stop ring 60 and the boss 83 on the rotor connecting plate 80 at the lower end of the limit sleeve 40 are upper limited, that is, fully open.

[0049] Further, the stop ring 60 has one end of an inwardly folded short rod 62 toward an end of the limiting sleeve 40 away from the valve port, and the other end of the stop ring 60 toward an end of the limiting sleeve 40 close to the valve port; or, the stop ring 60 has one end of an inwardly folded short rod 62 toward an end of the limiting sleeve 40 close to the valve port, and the other end of the stop ring 60 toward an end of the limiting sleeve 40 away from the valve port.

[0050] In this way, when the stop ring 60 has an end of the inner folded short rod 62 toward the end of the limit sleeve 40 away from the valve port, the inner folded short rod 62 and the end of the guide plate 50 away from the valve port are stopped and cooperated. At this time, the inner folded short rod 62 and the stop step 42 at the upper end of the limit sleeve 40 are lowered, and the other end of the stop ring 60 and the boss 83 on the rotor connecting plate 80 at the lower end of the limit sleeve 40 are uppered; when the stop ring 60 has an end of the inner folded short rod 62 toward the end of the limit sleeve 40 close to the valve port, the inner folded short rod 62 and the end of the guide plate 50 close to the valve port are stopped and cooperated. At this time, the inner folded short rod 62 and the boss 83 on the rotor connecting plate 80 at the lower end of the limit sleeve 40 are uppered, and the other end of the stop ring 60 and the stop step 42 at the upper end of the limit sleeve 40 are lowered.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the electronic expansion valve also includes a rotor assembly, which includes a rotor 71 and a rotor connecting plate 80, the limit sleeve 40 is fixedly connected to the rotor assembly, and one end of the valve core assembly 30 close to the guide plate 50 is fixedly connected to the rotor assembly; specifically, the rotor connecting plate 80 is fixedly connected to the limit sleeve 40, the rotor connecting plate 80 is movably arranged in the valve tube 10, and one end of the valve core assembly 30 close to the guide plate 50 is fixedly connected to the rotor connecting plate 80.

[0052] With such arrangement, the valve core assembly 30 is fixedly connected to the rotor connecting plate 80 , so that the valve core assembly 30 moves synchronously with the rotor connecting plate 80 under the drive of the rotor 71 , thereby realizing the movement of the valve core assembly 30 to open and close the valve port or adjust the opening.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic expansion valve also includes a limit plate 72, and the rotor connecting plate 80 has a limit groove 84. The limit plate 72 cooperates with the limit groove 84 to limit the limit plate 72 circumferentially; the end of the valve core assembly 30 away from the valve seat 20 passes through the rotor connecting plate 80, and the end of the valve core assembly 30 that passes through the rotor connecting plate 80 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 72, and the valve core assembly 30 has a limit step, which abuts against the end of the rotor connecting plate 80 close to the valve port.

[0054] In this configuration, the limit plate 72 and the limit groove 84 are limited and matched, and the limit plate 72 and the limit groove 84 are special-shaped limit, so that the limit plate 72 cannot rotate in the limit groove 84, so as to limit the limit plate 72 circumferentially. The end of the valve core assembly 30 away from the valve seat 20 passes through the rotor connecting plate 80 and is fixedly connected to the limit plate 72, so that the valve core assembly 30 cannot rotate relative to the rotor connecting plate 80, so that the valve core assembly 30 and the rotor connecting plate 80 rotate synchronously. The limit step abuts against the end of the rotor connecting plate 80 close to the valve seat 20, and the end of the valve core assembly 30 passing through the rotor connecting plate 80 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 72, so that the valve core assembly 30 cannot be axially displaced relative to the rotor connecting plate 80, so that the valve core assembly 30 and the rotor connecting plate 80 move synchronously.

[0055] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the valve core assembly 30 and the limiting plate 72 are fixedly connected by welding.

[0056] Optionally, the diameter of the end of the valve core assembly 30 passing through the rotor connecting plate 80 can be enlarged, and the limiting plate 72 and the limiting groove 84 can be arranged at the end of the rotor connecting plate 80 away from the valve port.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the valve tube 10 includes a straight tube 11 and an inner shrinkage tube 12 that are connected to each other. The inner shrinkage tube 12 is arranged at one end of the straight tube 11 away from the valve seat 20. The inner diameter of the inner shrinkage tube 12 is smaller than the inner diameter of the straight tube 11. The electronic expansion valve also includes an inner sleeve 90, which is coaxially fixedly connected to the inner shrinkage tube 12, and the inner sleeve 90 is integrally formed with the guide plate 50.

[0058] In this way, the inner diameter of the inner shrink tube 12 is smaller than the inner diameter of the straight tube 11, making it easier to install the inner sleeve 90, and it is easier to put the inner sleeve 90 into the inner shrink tube 12. The inner sleeve 90 is coaxially fixedly connected to the inner shrink tube 12, and the inner sleeve 90 is integrally formed with the guide piece 50, which increases the coaxiality and strengthens the strength of the connection between the guide piece 50 and the inner sleeve 90, effectively improving the problem of the guide piece 50 being skewed and affecting the use.

[0059] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the inner sleeve 90 and the guide plate 50 are integrally formed by a punching and stretching process.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, the outer wall of the inner sleeve 90 is tightly matched with the inner wall of the inner shrinkage tube 12; the inner sleeve 90 includes a tube body 91 and a plurality of convex bubbles 92, and the plurality of convex bubbles 92 are arranged at one end of the tube body 91 away from the valve seat 20, and the convex bubbles 92 are used for spot welding the tube body 91 and the inner shrinkage tube 12, and the tube body 91 has a gap to avoid the guide plate 50.

[0061] In this arrangement, the convex bubble 92 is arranged at the end of the tube body 91 away from the valve seat 20, which facilitates spot welding of the tube body 91 and the inner shrinkage tube 12, thereby increasing the strength of the connection between the tube body 91 and the inner shrinkage tube 12.

[0062] The electronic expansion valve also includes a nut, which is fixedly connected to the valve seat 20 and threadedly matched with the valve core assembly 30 so that the valve core assembly 30 can move axially relative to the nut.
