Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of expansion valves, in particular to a two-way expansion valve with a blockage prevention function. Background Technique
[0002] Expansion valves are widely used in various large, medium-sized or small refrigeration equipment, and are generally used more in air conditioners to throttle medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerants into low-temperature and low-pressure wet steam. The expansion valve is usually installed at the refrigerant inlet of the evaporator. The low-temperature and low-pressure wet steam generated by the expansion valve enters the evaporator and exchanges heat through the tube wall of the evaporator. The current two-way expansion valves are often installed by welding, which is inconvenient for regular cleaning and maintenance of the expansion valve, resulting in blockage inside. Therefore, a two-way expansion valve with a blockage prevention function is needed.
[0003] For the existing two-way expansion valves, during use, it is inconvenient to regularly disassemble and maintain the expansion valve, and it is also inconvenient to prevent blockage inside the expansion valve. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a two-way expansion valve with a blockage prevention function. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a two-way expansion valve with a blockage prevention function to solve the problems that the existing two-way expansion valves are inconvenient for regular disassembly and maintenance and inconvenient for preventing blockage inside the expansion valve.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A two-way expansion valve with a blockage prevention function, including a two-way expansion valve housing. One side of the two-way expansion valve housing is fixedly connected with a wet steam outlet pipe, and the other side of the two-way expansion valve housing is fixedly connected with a refrigerant inlet pipe. The outer wall of the refrigerant inlet pipe is movably connected with a threaded sleeve. A clamping groove is opened inside the refrigerant inlet pipe. An insertion ring is installed inside the refrigerant inlet pipe. A convex block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the insertion ring. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the insertion ring.
[0006] A blocking block is fixedly connected to the inside of the refrigerant inlet pipe. A docking hole is opened inside the blocking block. A filter screen is installed inside the refrigerant inlet pipe. A docking block is fixedly connected to one side of the filter screen.
[0007] Preferably, the outer walls of the refrigerant inlet pipe and the connecting pipe are both provided with threads, and the refrigerant inlet pipe is adapted to the connecting pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the refrigerant inlet pipe and is also threadedly connected to the connecting pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the threaded sleeve is of a slotted design, and the insertion ring is snap-fitted with the refrigerant inlet pipe.
[0010] Preferably, the bump is elastically arranged, and the bump is snap-connected to the refrigerant inlet pipe through a clamping groove.
[0011] Preferably, the docking block is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the filter net, and the docking block is snap-connected to the blocking block through a docking hole.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. Through the refrigerant inlet pipe, threaded sleeve, clamping groove, insertion ring, bump and connecting pipe provided in the present utility model, by rotating the threaded sleeve, since the threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the refrigerant inlet pipe and the connecting pipe respectively, the threaded sleeve can be used to release the limit on the connecting pipe. By pulling the connecting pipe outwards, the clamping groove can squeeze the bump, causing the bump to deform and release the limit on the insertion ring, driving the insertion ring to move out from one end of the refrigerant inlet pipe, which facilitates the regular disassembly and maintenance of the two-way expansion valve, improves the service life of the two-way expansion valve, and thus enhances the refrigeration effect of the air conditioner;
[0014] 2. Through the refrigerant inlet pipe, insertion ring, blocking block, docking hole, filter net and docking block provided in the present utility model, by moving the filter net, making it slide and insert along one end of the refrigerant inlet pipe, driving the docking block to snap into the docking hole for limiting, so that the filter net is located between the blocking block and the insertion ring, the filter net can filter out the impurity particles in the refrigerant, which facilitates the anti-blocking treatment of the inside of the expansion valve.

[0021] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described below according to its overall structure.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a two-way expansion valve with an anti-blocking function, which includes a two-way expansion valve housing 1. A wet steam outlet pipe 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the two-way expansion valve housing 1. A refrigerant inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the other side of the two-way expansion valve housing 1. A threaded sleeve 4 is movably connected to the outer wall of the refrigerant inlet pipe 3. A clamping groove 5 is opened inside the refrigerant inlet pipe 3. An insertion ring 6 is installed inside the refrigerant inlet pipe 3. A convex block 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the insertion ring 6. A connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the insertion ring 6. Threads are provided on the outer walls of both the refrigerant inlet pipe 3 and the connecting pipe 8, and the refrigerant inlet pipe 3 is adapted to the connecting pipe 8. The threaded sleeve 4 is threadedly connected to the refrigerant inlet pipe 3 and is also threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 8. The threaded sleeve 4 is of a slotted design, and the insertion ring 6 is snap-fitted with the refrigerant inlet pipe 3. The convex block 7 is elastically arranged and is snap-fitted with the refrigerant inlet pipe 3 through the clamping groove 5, which can facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the two-way expansion valve regularly.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a two-way expansion valve with an anti-blocking function. A stop block 9 is fixedly connected inside the refrigerant inlet pipe 3. A docking hole 10 is opened inside the stop block 9. A filter screen 11 is installed inside the refrigerant inlet pipe 3. A docking block 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the filter screen 11. The docking block 12 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the filter screen 11, and the docking block 12 is snap-fitted with the stop block 9 through the docking hole 10, which can facilitate the anti-blocking treatment of the inside of the expansion valve.
[0024] Working principle: When in use, by rotating the threaded sleeve 4, since the threaded sleeve 4 is threadedly connected to the refrigerant inlet pipe 3 and the connecting pipe 8 respectively, the threaded sleeve 4 can be disengaged from the limit on the connecting pipe 8. By pulling the connecting pipe 8 outwards, the clamping groove 5 can squeeze the convex block 7, causing the convex block 7 to deform and release the limit on the insertion ring 6, driving the insertion ring 6 to move out from one end of the refrigerant inlet pipe 3, achieving the effect of facilitating the regular disassembly and maintenance of the two-way expansion valve. By moving the filter net 11 and sliding it into the refrigerant inlet pipe 3 along one end, the docking block 12 is driven to be clamped and inserted into the docking hole 10 for positioning. When the insertion ring 6 is installed, it can squeeze one side of the filter net 11 so that it is located between the stop block 9 and the insertion ring 6, enabling the filter net 11 to filter out impurity particles in the refrigerant, achieving the effect of facilitating the anti-blocking treatment inside the expansion valve. In this way, the use process of the device is completed. The content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the prior art well-known to those skilled in the art.
