Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic expansion valves, in particular to a valve needle component of an electronic expansion valve. Background Art

[0002] An electronic expansion valve is a device used to control the flow of refrigerant, usually used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Existing electronic expansion valves, such as those disclosed in the invention patent with the publication number CN113719616A and the utility model patent with the publication number CN215059490U, can all achieve flow regulation.

[0003] However, the valve needle assembly in the existing electronic expansion valve is not convenient for assembly during the production process and is not convenient for stable sealing inside the valve, resulting in poor practicability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a valve needle component of an electronic expansion valve to improve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a valve needle component of an electronic expansion valve that drives an adjustment mechanism to move upward or downward through a transmission mechanism, enabling the adjustment mechanism to control the flow rate inside the electronic expansion valve. When the adjustment mechanism completely closes the interior of the electronic expansion valve, the support mechanism cooperates with the adjustment mechanism to seal the interior of the electronic expansion valve, thereby improving the practicability of the valve needle component.

[0005] A valve needle component of an electronic expansion valve of the utility model includes a transmission mechanism; it also includes an adjustment mechanism and a support mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is installed on the transmission mechanism, and the support mechanism is installed between the transmission mechanism and the adjustment mechanism;

[0006] The transmission mechanism provides power for the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism controls the flow rate inside the electronic expansion valve, and the support mechanism cooperates with the adjustment mechanism to seal the interior of the electronic expansion valve;

[0007] By driving the adjustment mechanism to move upward or downward through the transmission mechanism, the adjustment mechanism controls the flow rate inside the electronic expansion valve. When the adjustment mechanism completely closes the interior of the electronic expansion valve, the support mechanism cooperates with the adjustment mechanism to seal the interior of the electronic expansion valve, thereby improving the sealing effect of the valve needle component and the convenience of controlling the flow rate inside the electronic expansion valve.

[0008] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a screw rod, a valve needle sleeve, and a bushing. The valve needle sleeve is sleeved on the screw rod, the bushing is press-fitted on the screw rod, and the bushing is welded to the screw rod. The valve needle sleeve is welded to the adjustment mechanism; by rotating the screw rod inside the electronic expansion valve, the adjustment mechanism is driven to move upward or downward, enabling the adjustment mechanism to control the flow rate of the electronic expansion valve, thereby improving the stability of the valve needle component when controlling the flow rate.

[0009] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes a valve needle. The top of the valve needle is welded to the valve needle sleeve, and an outer edge is provided on the surface of the valve needle. By moving the valve needle up or down, the flow rate of the electronic expansion valve is controlled. When the valve needle completely closes the interior of the electronic expansion valve, the outer edge of the valve needle seals the gap between the valve needle and the valve port of the electronic expansion valve, thereby improving the stability of the valve needle component in controlling the flow rate inside the electronic expansion valve.

[0010] Preferably, the supporting mechanism includes a valve needle spring. The valve needle spring is installed inside the valve needle and is located between the screw rod and the valve needle spring. When the valve needle completely closes the interior of the electronic expansion valve, due to the elasticity of the valve needle spring, the valve needle is pressed downward to limit the position of the valve needle, and the outer edge of the valve needle seals the gap between the valve needle and the valve port of the electronic expansion valve, thereby improving the sealing effect of the valve needle component inside the electronic expansion valve.

[0011] Preferably, a first through hole is provided inside the valve needle, and multiple groups of second through holes are provided at the top of the valve needle. All the multiple groups of second through holes communicate with the interior of the first through hole. Through the first through hole and the multiple groups of second through holes on the valve needle, when the electronic expansion valve is opened, the inlet pressure can quickly balance the pressure inside the valve body, thereby improving the stability inside the electronic expansion valve.

[0012] Preferably, a cavity is provided inside the valve needle, and the valve needle spring is located in the cavity of the valve needle.

[0013] Preferably, a groove is provided at the top of the valve needle; it is convenient to put the top of the valve needle on the valve needle sleeve and weld the valve needle and the valve needle sleeve, thereby improving the convenience of assembling the valve needle component.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. A decoupling structure is formed between the valve needle and the screw rod through the valve needle sleeve and the bushing, which improves the flexible adjustability of the flow control mechanism and enhances the operating stability and service life of the electronic expansion valve;

[0016] 2. The valve needle has a simple structure and adopts an integrated design, which is convenient for assembly and reduces the assembly process;

[0017] 3. The valve needle structure adopts an opening design, which is convenient for quickly balancing the air pressure inside the electronic expansion valve;

[0018] 4. It has a high structural integration degree, few parts, few welding parts, is more convenient for assembly, and is beneficial for weight reduction and cost reduction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
