Detailed implementation manners:

[0029] The following further describes the present utility model with specific embodiments. Refer to Figure 1 —3:

[0030] A driving mechanism of a temperature regulating device includes a motor 1 and a power shaft 2. A valve core 3 is provided at the left end of the power shaft 2. A threaded hole 4 is provided in a rotating part 21 of the motor 1. The right end of the power shaft 2 is arranged in the rotating part 21 and is provided with an external thread 5 adapted to the threaded hole 4. A limiting structure for restricting the circumferential rotation of the power shaft 2 is provided between the motor 1 and the power shaft 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the motor 1 is a servo motor or a stepper motor. In this embodiment, the motor 1 is a stepper motor.

[0032] The working principle of the present utility model: As Figures 1-3 shown, due to the existence of the limiting structure, the power shaft 2 cannot rotate circumferentially. When the rotating part 21 of the motor 1 rotates, the power shaft 2 axially moves relative to the motor 1, and then drives the valve core 3 to axially move.

[0033] The right end of the power shaft 2 of the present utility model is threadedly connected to the rotating part 21 of the motor 1, and a limiting structure for restricting the circumferential rotation of the power shaft 2 is provided between the motor 1 and the power shaft 2, so that the power shaft 2 axially moves relative to the motor 1, and then drives the valve core 3 to axially move. There is no need to set a circumferential limiting structure between the valve core 3 and the valve body 10. When installing the valve core 3, only need to insert the valve core 3 into the valve body 10, and the valve core installation is convenient.

[0034] The present utility model sets the power shaft 2 into the motor 1 to form an integral structure, and through the circumferential limiting structure, converts the rotational motion of the rotating part 21 of the motor 1 into the linear motion of the power shaft 2, makes full use of the high-precision speed control ability of the stepper motor, and realizes the most direct and accurate temperature control effect of the stepper motor on the temperature regulating device.

[0035] Limiting structure: As Figure 2 、 3As shown in the figure, a fixed sleeve 6 is installed at the left end of the motor 1. The fixed sleeve 6 is sleeved outside the power shaft 2. The limiting structure includes a limiting block 7 arranged on the power shaft 2 and a limiting long groove 8 arranged inside the fixed sleeve 6. The limiting block 7 is slidably arranged in the limiting long groove 8 along the axial direction of the power shaft 2.

[0036] In order to limit the movement of the power shaft 2, a limiting convex edge 9 for abutting and limiting with the limiting block 7 is arranged on the left side of the limiting long groove 8. The limiting block 7 is limited between the limiting convex edge 9 and the motor 1.

[0037] Since the depth of the fixed sleeve 6 is relatively shallow and the limiting long groove 8 can be directly seen from the right side, the limiting block 7 is easy to align with the limiting long groove 8, which is convenient for installation.

[0038] In order to prevent liquid leakage, the left end of the fixed sleeve 6 extends into the valve body 10, and a first sealing ring 11 sleeved outside the fixed sleeve 6 is arranged between the fixed sleeve 6 and the valve body 10. A second sealing ring 12 sleeved outside the power shaft 2 is arranged between the power shaft 2 and the limiting convex edge 9.

[0039] Installation structure of the fixed sleeve 6 and the motor 1: An installation convex edge 13 is arranged at the right end of the fixed sleeve 6. The installation convex edge 13 is arranged between the valve body 10 and the motor 1. An installation ear 14 is arranged at the right end of the valve body 10. An installation ear 15 is arranged on the installation convex edge 13. An installation ear 16 is arranged at the left end of the motor 1. The installation ear 14, the installation ear 15 and the installation ear 16 are connected by fasteners.

[0040] Installation structure of the valve core 3: An installation shaft 17 is arranged at the left end of the power shaft 2. The valve core 3 is sleeved on the installation shaft 17 and fixed by screws. The diameter of the installation shaft 17 is smaller than that of the power shaft 2. The valve core 3 and the installation shaft 17 are of a split structure, so that the valve core 3 does not affect the installation of the fixed sleeve 6.

[0041] Fixing method of the valve core 3 and the installation shaft 17: The screw is threadedly connected with the valve core 3, and the lower end of the screw extends into the installation shaft 17. The valve core 3 is axially and circumferentially limited on the installation shaft 17 by the screw.

[0042] Furthermore, the installation shaft 17, the limiting block 7 and the power shaft 2 are of an integral structure.

[0043] Installation process of the present utility model: On the basis of the overall structure formed by the power shaft 2 and the motor 1, first, the fixed sleeve 6 is sleeved from the left end of the power shaft 2, then the valve core 3 is sleeved on the installation shaft 17, and finally the fixed sleeve 6 and the valve core 3 are installed into the valve body 10.

[0044] Furthermore, it further includes a controller. There is a power-on homing device between the motor 1 and the power shaft 2. The power-on homing device includes a permanent magnet 18 arranged on the power shaft 2, and a magnetic induction sensor 19 for sensing the magnetic change of the permanent magnet 18 is arranged on the motor 1. The controller receives the signal of the magnetic induction sensor 19 and controls the motor 1. In this embodiment, there are two relatively arranged permanent magnets 18.

[0045] When the motor 1 is powered on again, the motor 1 controls the rotating member 21 to reverse until the permanent magnet 18 is directly opposite to the magnetic induction sensor 19, indicating that the power shaft 2 has been reset. The magnetic induction sensor 19 transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the motor 1 to stop reversing. Each time the motor 1 of the present utility model is powered on, the power shaft 2 will be reset, which is convenient for the controller to accurately control the movement of the power shaft 2.

[0046] Installation structure of the magnetic induction sensor 19 of the permanent magnet 18: The threaded hole 4 is a through hole penetrating the rotating member 21. The permanent magnet 18 is arranged on the right side of the external thread 5. There is an end cover 20 at the right end of the motor 1, and the magnetic induction sensor 19 is arranged inside the end cover 20. In this embodiment, the magnetic induction sensor 19 is arranged above the power shaft 2.

[0047] Preferably, the magnetic induction sensor 19 is a Hall sensor, a magneto-inductive sensor, a magnetoresistive sensor or a reed switch. In this embodiment, the magnetic induction sensor 19 is a Hall sensor.

[0048] Furthermore, the rotating member 21 is the rotor shaft of the motor 1, which is convenient for machining the threaded hole 4. In this embodiment, the structure of the motor 1 is the same as that of a common stepping motor, including a stator, a rotor and a rotor shaft. The rotating member 21 is the rotor shaft, and the threaded hole 4 is arranged inside the rotor shaft, that is, the rotor shaft is of a hollow structure and the inner hole is provided with an internal thread.

[0049] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the shape, structure and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
