[0053] Embodiment

[0054] The inventor found that for existing electronic expansion valves, such as the invention patent with the application number 202311038798.4, three weldings are required during the assembly process, namely the welding between the valve seat and the limit seat, the welding between the limit seat and the sleeve, and the welding between the bearing seat and the sleeve, resulting in a complex assembly process and high costs.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present utility model provides an electronic expansion valve 100. The electronic expansion valve 100 can reduce the number of welding sides during assembly, and even the assembly of the electronic expansion valve 100 can be achieved by welding in sequence.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1, in this embodiment, the electronic expansion valve 100 includes a valve seat 110, a valve needle 130, a limiting and guiding member 150, a driving nut 170, a rotor assembly 190, and a sleeve 210. The valve seat 110 is provided with a valve cavity 111, a first opening 113 and a second opening 115 communicating with the valve cavity 111. The first opening 113 is disposed at one end of the valve seat 110 in the axial direction, and an installation groove 117 is provided at the other end of the valve seat 110 in the axial direction. The valve needle 130 is movably installed in the valve cavity 111, and the movement of the valve needle 130 can adjust the flow rate between the first opening 113 and the second opening 115. The limiting and guiding member 150 is disposed in the installation groove 117 and is snap-connected to the valve seat 110. The limiting and guiding member 150 is provided with a limiting and guiding groove 151. The driving nut 170 is installed in the limiting and guiding groove 151 and is connected to the valve needle 130. The limiting and guiding groove 151 can limit the rotation of the driving nut 170. The rotor assembly 190 is rotatably installed on the limiting and guiding member 150, and the rotating shaft 191 of the rotor assembly 190 is inserted into the limiting and guiding groove 151 and is in threaded transmission connection with the driving nut 170. The rotation of the rotor assembly 190 can drive the driving nut 170 to slide along the limiting and guiding groove 151. The sleeve 210 is in the shape of a cylinder with a closed top end and an open bottom end. The open end of the sleeve 210 is inserted into the installation groove 117, and the bottom end of the sleeve 210 abuts against the limiting and guiding member 150. The bottom end of the sleeve 210 is welded to the top end of the valve seat 110.

[0057] In this embodiment, by providing the installation groove 117 at the top end of the valve seat 110, installing the limiting and guiding member 150 that restricts the rotation of the nut in the installation groove 117 and snap-connecting it with the installation groove 117, then inserting the bottom end of the sleeve 210 into the installation groove 117 and making the bottom end of the sleeve 210 abut against the limiting and guiding member 150. After welding the sleeve 210 to the valve seat 110 in this way, the bottom end surface of the sleeve 210 and the bottom wall of the installation groove 117 will act on the limiting and guiding member 150, and the snap-connection between the limiting and guiding member 150 and the installation groove 117 will restrict the rotation of the limiting and guiding member 150. In this way, the assembly between the limiting and guiding member 150 and the base does not require welding. And the rotor assembly 190 is rotatably installed on the limiting and guiding member 150, so that there is no need to weld the bearing 193 seat at the top end of the sleeve 210. Overall, the assembly of the electronic expansion valve 100 can be achieved with only one welding.

[0058] It should be noted that the rotor assembly 190 is rotatably installed on the limiting and guiding member 150. In this way, the limiting and guiding member 150 can restrict the movement of the rotor assembly 190, and the rotor assembly 190 can rotate relative to the limiting and guiding member 150. The rotation of the rotor assembly 190 can drive the driving nut 170 that is in threaded cooperation with it to slide along the limiting and guiding groove 151. Since the valve needle 130 is connected to the driving nut 170, the valve needle 130 is driven to move, so that the flow rate between the first opening 113 and the second opening 115 can be controlled.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a boss 153 is provided on one of the bottom surface of the limit guiding member 150 and the bottom surface of the mounting groove 117, and a positioning groove 119 that cooperates with the boss 153 is provided on the other. The boss 153 is inserted into the positioning groove 119 so that the limit guiding member 150 is snap-fitted with the valve seat 110.

[0060] In this embodiment, by providing the boss 153 and the positioning groove 119 on the bottom walls of the limit guiding member 150 and the mounting groove 117 respectively for snap-fitting, the positioning and limit snap-fitting between the limit guiding member 150 and the valve seat 110 can be conveniently achieved.

[0061] Of course, in some other embodiments of the present application, the position where the limit guiding member 150 cooperates with the mounting groove 117 can also be set to be non-circular, so as to restrict the rotation of the limit guiding member 150 relative to the valve seat 110.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the limit guiding member 150 is in the shape of a stepped shaft and includes a first section 161, a second section 163, and a third section 165 with diameters increasing in sequence. An abutting ring platform 155 is formed in the region where the third section 165 protrudes from the second section 163, and the abutting ring platform 155 cooperates with the mounting groove 117. The limit guiding member 150 is installed in the mounting groove 117 through the abutting ring platform 155. The bottom end of the sleeve 210 abuts against the abutting ring platform 155.

[0063] In this embodiment, by setting the limit guiding member 150 in a stepped shape so that an abutting ring platform 155 is formed in the region where the third section 165 protrudes from the second section 163, after the sleeve 210 is inserted into the mounting groove 117, the end of the sleeve 210 abuts against the abutting ring platform 155, thereby realizing the stable fixation of the limit guiding member 150.

[0064] In this embodiment, the height of the abutting ring platform 155 is less than the depth of the mounting groove 117 so that the bottom end of the sleeve 210 can be inserted into the mounting groove 117.

[0065] In this embodiment, the height of the abutting ring platform 155, that is, the height of the third section 165, is set to be less than the depth of the mounting groove 117, so that the sleeve 210 can also be inserted into the mounting groove 117 when the sleeve 210 abuts against the top surface of the abutting ring platform 155, thereby facilitating the welding between the sleeve 210 and the valve seat 110.

[0066] In this embodiment, the part of the second section 163 of the limit guiding member 150 that extends beyond the first section 161 is located above the abutting annular platform 155 to form a sleeving annular platform 157. The diameter of the sleeving annular platform 157 is smaller than that of the abutting annular platform 155 and matches the inner diameter of the sleeve 210. The bottom of the sleeve 210 is sleeved on the sleeving annular platform 157.

[0067] In this application, by setting the diameter of the second section 163 to match the inner diameter of the sleeve 210, the sleeve 210 can be inserted on the outer peripheral edge of the second section 163, so as to improve the deformation during the welding between the cylinder body and the valve seat 110 and affect the installation accuracy.

[0068] Furthermore, a guiding surface is provided at the top of the second section 163, and the guiding surface gradually narrows towards the top of the second section 163, so that the sleeve 210 can be conveniently inserted on the second section 163.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, an avoidance groove 159 is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the sleeving annular platform 157, and the bottom surface of the avoidance groove 159 is flush with the abutting annular platform 155.

[0070] In this embodiment, by providing the bottom avoidance groove 159, a position for deformation can be reserved for the bottom end of the sleeve 210 during welding.

[0071] In this embodiment, a chamfer 121 is provided at the top end of the installation groove 117. The provision of the chamfer 121 can facilitate the insertion of the bottom end of the sleeve 210 into the installation groove 117.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the rotor assembly 190 includes a rotating shaft 191, a bearing 193, and a magnetic member 195. The rotating shaft 191 is connected to the magnetic member 195, and the rotating shaft 191 is installed in the inner ring of the bearing 193.

The limit guiding groove 151 is provided on the bottom wall of the limit guiding member 150 and is recessed upward. A bearing installation groove 167 is provided on the top surface of the first section 161. The bearing installation groove 167 communicates with the guiding limit groove. The bearing 193 is installed in the bearing installation groove 167, and the rotating shaft 191 is in threaded transmission with the driving nut 170.

[0073] In this embodiment, by installing the bearing 193 on the limit guiding member 150, compared with the existing installation on the top, there is no need to weld the bearing 193 seat to the sleeve 210.

[0074] In this embodiment, the magnetic member 195 includes a magnet and a mounting block, and the magnet and the mounting block are integrally formed by injection molding.

[0075] In this embodiment, a retaining ring 197 is provided on the top of the bearing 193. The retaining ring 197 can limit the relative movement of the rotating shaft 191 with respect to the rotating shaft 191 and prevent the bearing 193 from coming out of the bearing mounting groove 167.

[0076] In this embodiment, the electronic expansion valve 100 further includes a top fixing member 230. The top fixing member 230 is provided with a limiting hole 231, and the diameter of the top fixing member 230 matches the inner diameter of the sleeve 210.

[0077] In this embodiment, a top limiting and guiding member 150 is provided, which can be pressed into the sleeve 210 so that the top end of the rotating shaft 191 is inserted into the limiting hole 231, thereby improving the rotational stability of the rotor assembly 190.
