[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 7 The utility model is described in further detail:
[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a new sealing structure for a new energy vehicle water valve, including a shaft seal 1 and a pipe mouth seal 2. The shaft seal 1 is sleeved on the outer wall of the valve core 3 rotating shaft, and the end face of the outer wall abuts the flange 5. The pipe mouth seal 2 is curved and is arranged between the water valve body 4 and the valve core 3, and the curvature of the curved surface is adapted to the curvature of the side wall of the valve core 3. The pipe mouth seal 2 includes a first sealing layer 21 and a second sealing layer 22. The first sealing layer 21 is bonded to the second sealing layer 22. The first sealing layer 21 abuts the valve body 4, and the second sealing layer 22 abuts the valve core 3.
[0030] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the pipe mouth seal 2 is provided with a through hole 23, the diameter of the through hole 23 is equal to the diameter of the pipe mouth of the side wall of the valve body 4, and is larger than the diameter of the pipe mouth of the side wall of the valve core 3; the first sealing layer 21 is integrally formed and fixedly connected with a sleeve portion 24, and the sleeve portion 24 abuts the inner wall of the pipe mouth of the valve body 4, wherein the pipe mouth of the valve body 4 and the sleeve portion 24 both coincide with the axis of the through hole 23.
[0031] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, a limiting groove is provided on the inner wall of the pipe opening of the valve body 4, and an annular protrusion 25 is integrally formed and fixedly connected to the outer ring of the sleeve portion 24. The shape and size of the protrusion 25 match the limiting groove; the edge of the protrusion 25 is chamfered.

The pipe mouth seal 2 and the valve body 4 adopt an interference fit. By compressing the first sealing layer 21, a stable surface seal is formed at the mating surface of the valve body 4, thereby realizing the static seal between the valve body 4 and the pipe mouth seal 2; install the valve core 3, and interference fit it with the pipe mouth seal 2 so that the protrusion 2 27 contacts the valve core 3, thereby realizing the dynamic seal between the valve core 3 and the pipe mouth seal 2 when the valve core 3 switches the working mode; the shaft seal 1 is arranged between the valve core 3 and the flange 5 to realize the sealing of the rotating shaft of the valve core 3.
