[0002] In the field of refrigeration and heating, electronic expansion valves are usually used to regulate the flow of fluids. Electronic expansion valves are usually composed of structures such as valve seat components and drive components. The valve seat components include valve core components, guide sleeve connection components, and upper valve seats, lower valve seats, sealing blocks and other parts. The lower valve seat and the lower valve core have valve ports. The opening of the valve port is adjusted by moving the valve stem component to achieve flow regulation and switch control. However, electronic expansion valves in the prior art have some defects. For example, the valve core structural parts usually adopt a bearing method in terms of rolling structure. Although this method has less resistance and is conducive to the movement of the valve stem, the cost is too high, which increases the overall manufacturing cost of the electronic expansion valve, and the assembly is more complicated.

[0003] In summary, the electronic expansion valves currently on the market have problems in their rolling structures that need to be improved and optimized in order to improve their performance and cost-effectiveness. Utility Model Content

A valve needle is slidably provided in the center hole of the valve needle sleeve, and the upper end of the valve needle extends into the inner cavity of the valve stem assembly and presses against the lower end of the valve needle elastic mechanism. The valve core spring sleeve is arranged on the valve stem assembly and also includes a ball and a spring flat washer. The ball is in plurality and is movably nested in the upper end surface of the valve core sleeve around the valve stem assembly. The spring flat washer is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the valve stem assembly and a rotatable cover is arranged on the upper end surface of the valve core sleeve. The lower end of the valve core spring presses against the upper part of the spring flat washer.

[0007] To better implement the above solution, optionally, there are three balls, and the upper end surface of the valve core sleeve is provided with placement grooves corresponding to the balls one by one.

[0008] Optionally, a plurality of placement grooves are evenly distributed on the upper end surface of the valve core sleeve.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the utility model discloses an electronic expansion valve valve core structure 100, including an upper valve core 110, a lower valve core 120, a valve stem assembly 130, a valve needle elastic mechanism 140, a valve needle 150, a valve core sleeve 160, a valve needle sleeve 170, a valve core spring 180, a ball 191 and a spring flat washer 192.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the valve core sleeve 160 is fixedly assembled on the upper end of the upper valve core 110, the lower valve core 120 is fixedly assembled on the lower end of the upper valve core 110, the lower outer wall of the valve stem assembly 130 is clearance-matched with the inner wall of the valve core sleeve 160, the valve needle sleeve 170 is fixedly arranged at the opening of the inner cavity of the valve stem assembly 130, the inner cavity of the valve stem assembly 130 is axially equipped with a valve needle elastic mechanism 140, the center hole of the valve needle sleeve 170 is slidably equipped with a valve needle 150, and the upper The end extends into the inner cavity of the valve stem assembly 130 and presses against the lower end of the valve needle elastic mechanism 140. The valve core spring 180 is sleeved on the valve stem assembly 130. There are multiple balls 191 and they are movably nested in the upper end surface of the valve core sleeve 160 around the valve stem assembly 130. The spring flat washer 192 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the valve stem assembly 130 and the rotatable cover is arranged on the upper end surface of the valve core sleeve 160. The lower end of the valve core spring 180 presses against the upper part of the spring flat washer 192.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, there are three balls 191, and the upper end surface of the valve core sleeve 160 is provided with a placement groove 161 corresponding to the ball 191 one by one, and each ball 191 is placed in the corresponding placement groove 161. Specifically, the three placement grooves 161 are evenly distributed on the upper end surface of the valve core sleeve 160, and the depth of each placement groove 161 is between the radius and the diameter of the ball 191.

The placement groove 161 is set to limit the ball 191 to prevent the ball 191 from escaping from the valve core sleeve 160. The annular groove 193 is set to limit the spring washer 192 to ensure that the spring washer 192 can only rotate around the annular groove 193. There is a gap between the upper end surface of the valve core sleeve 160 and the lower end surface of the spring washer 192 to prevent the valve core sleeve 160 from contacting the spring washer 192 and increasing the rotation resistance.
