[0082] Close the valve port pressure regulating nut 9: It is installed at the bottom of the piston chamber through a threaded structure, and the preload force of the preset conical compression spring 10 is adjusted by rotating the regulating nut.

[0083] Comprehensive working principle

[0084] When valve core 2 is closed:

[0085] The medium enters the valve cavity 13: the high-pressure gas enters the valve cavity 13 through the valve inlet 27 and enters the sub-diaphragm cavity 20 through the air guide hole 21, so that the diaphragm 7 is subjected to upward pressure.

[0086] The diaphragm 7 pushes the valve core 2: the upward push block 8 of the diaphragm 7 pushes the set compression spring 5 to move upward, and the preset tower-shaped compression spring 10 pushes the valve core 2 to move upward, so that the valve core 2 plate is tightly attached to the bottom of the blocking area 26, closing the valve outlet 28.

[0087] Force balance: At this time, the forces applied in all directions in the valve cavity 13 composed of the upper end surface of the valve core 2 plate, the lower end surface of the valve piston 16 and the valve body 1 are equal. The medium pressure at the valve outlet 28 acts on the lower end of the valve core plate 15 and enters the upper end cavity 11 of the piston through the internal guide hole 18, so that the forces acting on the upper and lower ends of the valve core 2 are equal, and the resultant force of the medium acting on the valve core 2 is "0".

[0088] Closing condition: the pre-tightening force (fixed) Ft of the preset tower-shaped compression spring 10 + FS↑ (the medium pressure P↑ at the valve outlet 28 end × the area S of the diaphragm 7) > the opening setting compression spring 5Fk (externally adjustable), the valve plate sealing ring 25 is tightly attached to the blocking area 26, and the valve outlet 28 is closed.

[0089] When valve core 2 is open:

[0090] Medium pressure decreases: When the medium pressure P↓ at the valve outlet 28 decreases, the upward pressure on the diaphragm 7 decreases.

[0091] The valve core plate 15 leaves the valve outlet 28: the preset preload force (fixed) Ft+FS↓(medium pressure P↓ at the valve outlet 28 end×area S of the diaphragm 7) of the tower-shaped compression spring 10 is less than the opening setting compression spring 5Fk (externally adjustable), the valve core plate 15 gradually leaves the blocking area 26, and the valve outlet 28 is opened.

[0092] Stable position: until Ft+FS=Fk, the valve core 2 stops stably at this position, and the required medium flow is obtained at the valve outlet 28.

[0093] Force balance: During this process, the areas and pressures of the reaction force surfaces of the valve core 2 are relative, and the resultant force of the reaction forces in all directions is "0" (or close to "0"). Changes in the medium pressure have no effect on the valve core 2, achieving the effect of having no effect or little effect on the flow (position) of the valve outlet 28.

[0094] Through the above structure and working principle, the new and reliable energy regulating valve of the utility model can operate correctly, stably and for a long time in a large-flux system, ensuring efficient, energy-saving and stable operation of the refrigeration and air-conditioning system.
