[0002] A solenoid valve controls the opening / closing of a valve by energizing a coil to generate a magnetic field. Since the larger the diameter, the greater the pressure generated under the same pressure difference, a direct-acting solenoid valve is generally only applicable to small-diameter working conditions. In working conditions that require large flow rates or large diameters, a pilot-operated structure is generally used.
[0003] The internal structure of a pilot-operated solenoid valve includes a pilot valve component and a main valve component. The main valve component includes parts such as a piston, a valve body, and a piston spring. The piston spring is to ensure that the piston can be smoothly opened under low inlet and outlet pressure difference conditions.
[0004] In the existing pilot-operated solenoid valve (such as CN108713118B), the piston spring is placed between the fluid inlet and outlet of the solenoid valve, which will affect the flow of the working medium, and under large inlet and outlet pressure differences and large flow rate conditions, the piston spring will be driven by the working medium towards the fluid outlet direction, and there is a risk that the upper end surface of the spring may be disengaged from the upper contact surface of the piston, resulting in the spring being stuck and unable to work properly.

[0053] Embodiment
[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a thermal management device, which can be applied to an automobile to form vehicle air conditioning and / or battery pack thermal management.
[0055] Generally, a thermal management device at least includes a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, an expansion valve, and a pilot-operated solenoid valve 100, which are connected to each other through pipes to form a refrigerant medium circulation flow path to achieve refrigerant circuit thermal management.
[0056] Of course, the thermal management device may further include a four-way valve, which is connected to the intake port and the exhaust port of the compressor to adjust the flow direction of the circulating working medium according to the refrigeration or heating demand.
[0057] It should be noted that the thermal management device provided in this embodiment can also be applied to other thermal management devices, such as air conditioners, refrigeration devices, heat pump devices, etc.
[0058] In the existing pilot-operated solenoid valve 100, the spring is arranged between the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113, which will affect the flow of the working fluid. And under the conditions of large inlet and outlet pressure differences and large flow rates, the spring will be driven by the working fluid towards the fluid outlet 113, resulting in the risk that the upper end surface of the spring may be separated from the contact surface of the valve core, causing the spring to be stuck and unable to work properly.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 To solve the above technical problems, the pilot-operated solenoid valve 100 of this embodiment includes a valve body 110, a plunger 130, a main valve core 150, a pilot chamber 171, a pilot hole 151, an equalizing hole 152, an electromagnetic coil 177, a first spring 179, and a second spring 181. The valve body 110 has a valve chamber 111, a fluid inlet 112, a fluid outlet 113, a valve seat 114, and a limiting portion 115. The plunger 130 is movably arranged inside the valve body 110, and a pilot valve core is arranged at the end of the plunger 130. The main valve core 150 is movably disposed in the valve chamber 111 between the plunger 130 and the valve seat 114. The pilot chamber 171 is formed between the main valve core 150 and the plunger 130. The pilot hole 151 is formed in the main valve core 150 and is opened and closed by the pilot valve core to selectively connect or cut off the pilot chamber 171 from the fluid outlet 113. The equalizing hole 152 is formed in the main valve core 150 and connects the pilot chamber 171 with the valve chamber 111. The electromagnetic coil 177 is arranged outside the valve body 110, and the movement of the plunger 130 is controlled by energizing the electromagnetic coil 177, so as to achieve the state where the main valve core 150 abuts against the valve seat 114 to cut off between the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113, and the state where the main valve core 150 abuts against the limiting portion 115 to connect between the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113. The first spring 179 is sleeved outside the main valve core 150 to drive the main valve core 150 to move towards the plunger 130. The second spring 181 is arranged on the plunger 130 to drive the plunger 130 to move towards the main valve core 150. The first spring 179 is arranged in a dislocation manner with respect to the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113.
[0060] In this embodiment, by arranging the first spring 179 that drives the main valve core 150 to move towards the plunger 130 in a dislocation manner with respect to the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113, the first spring 179 will not block the flow of the working fluid between the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113. Secondly, arranging the first spring 179 in this way can avoid the problem that the first spring 179 will be driven by the working fluid towards the fluid outlet 113 under the conditions of large pressure differences between the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113 and large flow rates, thereby avoiding the problem of the movement of the upper end surface of the first spring 179, so as to solve the risk of the separation of the contact surface between the first spring 179 and the main valve core 150, and thus improve or solve the problem that the first spring 179 is stuck and unable to work properly.
[0061] Please refer toFigure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the fluid inlet 112 is arranged on the side wall of the valve body 110, and the fluid outlet 113 is arranged at the end of the valve body 110. That is, the liquid inlet is arranged above the liquid outlet. A first abutting platform 116 is arranged on the side wall of the valve chamber 111, and the first abutting platform 116 is located on the side of the fluid inlet 112 away from the fluid outlet 113. That is, the first abutting platform 116 is arranged at a position above the liquid inlet. One end of the first spring 179 abuts against the first abutting platform 116, and the other end abuts against the main valve core 150.
[0062] In this embodiment, the first abutting platform 116 is arranged on the side of the fluid inlet 112 away from the fluid outlet 113, so that the working medium flowing in from the fluid inlet 112 will not impact the first spring 179, and the first spring 179 will not block the flow of the working medium. Most importantly, when the working medium flows from the fluid inlet 112 towards the fluid outlet 113, it will not impact the first spring 179, so there is no problem that the working medium drives the first spring 179 to move towards the fluid outlet 113 direction, thus solving the problem that the first spring 179 is disengaged from the abutment with the main valve core 150 and avoiding the end of the first spring 179 being stuck in the gap between the main valve core 150 and the valve body 110.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the main valve core 150 is provided with a second abutting platform 153. The second abutting platform 153 is located on the side of the first abutting platform 116 away from the fluid inlet 112 and is arranged at an interval from the first abutting platform 116. One end of the first spring 179 abuts against the first abutting platform 116, and the other end abuts against the second abutting platform 153.
[0064] In this embodiment, the second abutting platform 153 is arranged on the side of the first abutting platform 116 away from the fluid outlet 113, so that the first spring 179 abuts between the first abutting platform 116 and the second abutting platform 153, thereby using the first spring 179 to push the main valve core 150 towards the direction of the plunger 130.
[0065] In this embodiment, the main spool valve 150 includes a lower part and an upper part with different diameters. The upper part and the lower part are connected, and the outer peripheral edge of the upper part cooperates with the side wall of the valve chamber 111 to guide the main spool valve 150 to move along the valve chamber 111. A second abutting platform 153 is formed at the lower end of the upper part. The first spring 179 is sleeved on the lower part, its upper end abuts against the end face of the second abutting platform 153 formed by the upper part, and its lower end abuts against the first abutting platform 116. The inner ring of the first abutting platform 116 cooperates with the lower part. The outer peripheral edge of the upper part cooperates with the side wall of the valve chamber 111, and the outer peripheral edge of the lower part cooperates with the inner ring of the first abutting platform 116. This is mainly to prevent the lower end of the first spring 179 from detaching from the first abutting platform 116 and falling into the inner ring of the first abutting platform 116 in case of an accident. During the movement of the main spool valve 150 towards the plunger 130, the outer peripheral edge of the lower part can make the lower end of the first spring 179 return to the first abutting platform 116 again.
[0066] In this embodiment, a plurality of bosses 155 are arranged at intervals on the outer peripheral edge of the lower part of the main spool valve 150. A flow channel 157 is formed between adjacent bosses 155. The outer peripheral edge of the boss 155 cooperates with the inner peripheral edge of the first abutting platform 116. The flow channel 157 can communicate the inlet with the pressure equalizing hole 152, so as to better achieve pressure equalization.
[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4, in this embodiment, the valve body 110 includes a valve portion 117, a mounting table 118, a guide sleeve 121, and a yoke 123. A valve chamber 111, an inlet port 112, an outlet port 113, and a valve seat 114 are provided in the valve portion 117. In one achievable manner, the valve portion 117 is generally formed in a cylindrical shape, with the bottom end forming the outlet port 113 and multiple inlet ports formed on the side wall. The valve seat 114 is provided corresponding to the outlet port 113, and the valve chamber 111 is formed above the valve seat 114. The main valve core 150 is movably arranged in the valve chamber 111, and when it moves to the lowermost end, it will abut against the valve seat 114, thereby blocking the communication between the inlet port 112 and the outlet port 113. The first abutting table 116 is also provided on the valve portion 117, which is an annular table. The mounting table 118 is mounted on the upper opening of the valve portion 117, and is generally connected to the upper opening of the valve portion 117 by threads. The limiting portion 115 is provided on the mounting table 118, and when the main valve core 150 moves to the uppermost end, it will abut against the limiting portion 115. The valve chamber 111 is formed between the valve seat 114 and the limiting portion 115. The mounting table 118 is provided with a mounting hole 119, and the guide sleeve 121 is mounted on the mounting table 118 through the mounting hole 119. The yoke 123 is arranged inside the guide sleeve 121, and the electromagnetic coil 177 is arranged outside the sleeve and corresponds to the yoke 123. The plunger 130 is partially installed inside the sleeve and partially extends into the valve chamber 111 through the mounting hole 119 provided on the mounting table 118 to act on the main valve core 150. In this way, when the electromagnetic coil 177 is energized or de-energized, under the combined action of the yoke 123, the plunger 130, the first spring 179, and the second spring 181, the main valve core 150 is actuated.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the second spring 181 is sleeved outside the plunger 130, with one end abutting against the plunger 130 and the other end abutting against the valve body 110, so as to conveniently push the plunger 130 to move downward.
[0069] In this embodiment, the second spring 181 is sleeved on the part of the plunger 130 extending into the valve chamber 111, and one end of the second spring 181 abuts against the plunger 130 and the other end abuts against the limiting portion 115.
[0070] Specifically, one end of the plunger 130 extending into the valve chamber 111 is provided with a third abutting table 131, one end of the second spring 181 abuts against the third abutting table 131, and the other end abuts against the limiting portion 115. In this way, the second spring 181 can be conveniently installed, and since the second spring 181 is sleeved outside the plunger 130, it will not bend after being stressed, thereby avoiding jamming.
[0071] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, in this embodiment, the diameter of the mounting hole 119 provided on the mounting table 118 matches the diameter of the plunger 130. During installation, first, the second spring 181 is sleeved on the plunger 130 so that the lower end of the second spring 181 abuts against the third abutting platform 131. Then, the upper end of the plunger 130 is inserted into the guide sleeve 121 through the mounting hole 119, and then the mounting table 118 is installed on the upper side opening of the valve portion 117, so that the lower end of the second spring 181 can abut against the third abutting platform 131 and also abut against the limiting portion 115. Compared with the prior art where the second spring 181 is arranged between the yoke 123 and the plunger 130, the second spring 181 is more stable.
[0072] In this embodiment, a limiting ring platform 124 protrudes from the side of the limiting portion 115 close to the valve chamber 111. The limiting ring platform 124 is arranged on the outer peripheral edge of the second spring 181. This can limit the upper end of the second spring 181 and make its operation more stable.
[0073] In this embodiment, at least one balance flow channel 125 is arranged along the axial direction of the plunger 130 on the periphery of the plunger 130. The lower end of the balance flow channel 125 is communicated with the pilot chamber 171, and the upper end is communicated with the space between the yoke 123 and the end of the plunger 130. In this way, it is easier to manufacture compared with the prior art where an opening is made in the middle.
[0074] The specific working process is as follows. Taking the pilot-operated solenoid valve 100 as a normally closed type as an example, the operation of the solenoid valve will be described. In the state where the electromagnetic coil 177 is not energized, the plunger 130 descends under the action of its own gravity and the force applied by the second spring 181, and overcomes the elastic force of the lower first spring 179 to press down the main valve core 150 so that the end face on the lower side of the main valve core 150 abuts against the valve seat 114. In addition, in the above state, the pilot valve core of the plunger 130 blocks the upper end of the pilot hole 151 of the main valve core 150. Therefore, the pilot chamber 171 and the outlet 113 are cut off. This is the closed state of the solenoid valve.
[0075] If the electromagnetic coil 177 is energized in the above state, the plunger 130 rises under the action of the electromagnetic force and overcomes the elastic force of the second spring 181. As a result, the pilot valve core leaves the pilot hole 151 of the main valve core 150 to open the upper end of the pilot hole 151. Therefore, the pilot chamber 171 and the outlet 113 are communicated. When the pilot hole 151 is opened, the main valve core 150 will rise under the action of the pressure difference between the upper and lower sides of the main valve core 150 (the pressure difference between the pilot chamber 171 and the valve chamber 111) and the force applied by the first spring 179. In this way, the main valve core 150 is separated from the valve seat 114 so that the inlet 112 and the outlet 113 are communicated. Thus, the working medium flows in the path of the inlet 112, the valve chamber 111, and the outlet 113.
[0076] In summary, the working principles and beneficial effects of the pilot-operated solenoid valve 100 and the thermal management device provided by the embodiments of the present utility model include:
[0077] In this embodiment, the first spring 179 that drives the main spool 150 to move towards the plunger 130 is arranged offset from the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113, so that the first spring 179 does not block the flow of the working fluid between the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113. Secondly, arranging the first spring 179 in this way can avoid the problem that the first spring 179 is driven by the working fluid towards the fluid outlet 113 under the conditions of large pressure difference and large flow rate between the fluid inlet 112 and the fluid outlet 113, thereby avoiding the problem of the upper end surface of the first spring 179 moving, so as to solve the risk of the contact surface between the first spring 179 and the main spool 150 detaching, and thus improve or solve the problem that the first spring 179 is stuck and cannot work properly.
[0078] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
