[0036] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, which are a part of this specification, and which show, by way of example, the principles of the application. The other aspects, features and advantages of the present application will become apparent from this detailed description. In the drawings, the same or similar components are denoted by the same reference numbers throughout the several figures.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the description and in the claims, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a sequential or chronological order.

[0038] As shown in the drawings, the electronic expansion valve welding cooling protection tool of the present application can effectively avoid the overheat damage phenomenon of the existing electronic expansion valve in the welding process through a simple welding tool. Figures 1 to 7 The main functions of the electronic expansion valve welding cooling protection tool of the present application include expansion valve fixation, pipeline fixation, water flow cooling, and compensation water flow cooling.

[0039] The electronic expansion valve welding cooling protection tool of the present application mainly includes a base 10, a water supply pipe 20, a water outlet pipe 30, a compensation water outlet 40, a hinge 50, a pipeline support table 60, a compensation water connection hose 70, an expansion valve fixing frame 80, a flow equalizing plate 81, an upper cover plate 90, and a water baffle 82.

[0040] The tool groove body of the present application is supported and fixed by the base 10, and has an upper cover plate 90 for opening and closing the tool groove body, which is rotatably connected to the tool groove body through the hinge 50. The bottom ends of the tool groove body are respectively provided with the water supply pipe 20 and the water outlet pipe 30. The water flow enters the tool groove body through the water supply pipe 20 and flows out through the water outlet pipe 30, so that the water flow circulates in the closed channel of the tool groove body, carries away the heat generated by the welding of the electronic expansion valve in the tool groove body, better controls the temperature of the valve body 100 of the electronic expansion valve, and prevents damage caused by over-temperature of the key components of the valve body 100.

[0041] The expansion valve fixing frame 80 is located in the tool groove body and is used for fixing the electronic expansion valve to be welded.

[0042] In addition, the upper cover plate 90 is formed with a third positioning groove 91 matched with the first positioning groove 831, and the first positioning groove 831 and the third positioning groove 91 are both semicircular grooves, which can be combined into a circular groove matched with the outer diameter of the copper pipe of the electronic expansion valve. After the upper cover plate 90 is closed, the first positioning groove 831 and the third positioning groove 91 cooperate to wrap and fix the copper pipe of the electronic expansion valve, and then the electronic expansion valve is fixed and installed on the expansion valve fixing frame 80.

[0043] The pipeline support table 60 is located on the same horizontal plane as the expansion valve fixing frame 80 and is arranged at intervals, and the pipeline support table 60 is used for placing the welded copper pipe 200. Specifically, the top surface of the pipeline support table 60 has a support groove 61 coaxially arranged with the first positioning groove 831, so as to align the copper pipe of the electronic expansion valve and the welded copper pipe 200 on the horizontal plane, facilitating subsequent welding. The number of the support grooves 61 is two, and the two welded copper pipes 200 are respectively placed in the two support grooves 61.

[0044] The flow equalizing plate 81 is fixed in the tool groove body and located between the water supply pipe 20 and the electronic expansion valve, and is used for making the water flow from the lower side and the upper side of the valve body 100. Among them, the bottom of the flow equalizing plate 81 is provided with a row of a plurality of uniformly distributed through holes, and the water flowing into the tool groove body from the bottom through the water supply pipe 20 flows forward through the through holes of the flow equalizing plate 81 and flows from the lower side of the valve body 100 of the electronic expansion valve. In addition, the flow equalizing plate 81 has a gap with the valve body 100 of the electronic expansion valve, and the height of the flow equalizing plate 81 is lower than the center of the valve body 100 of the electronic expansion valve, and part of the water rising in the tool groove body passes over the top of the flow equalizing plate 81 and enters the lower side of the valve body 100 and flows through.

[0045] The water baffle 82 is fixed in the tool groove body and located between the water outlet pipe 30 and the electronic expansion valve, and the height of the water baffle 82 is set to make the water surface in the tool groove body just overflow the copper pipe of the electronic expansion valve.

[0046] In addition, the upper cover plate 90 is provided with a compensation water outlet 40, and the compensation water outlet 40 is connected with a compensation water connecting hose 70, and the cooling water is sprayed on the heat concentration area of the electronic expansion valve fixed in the tool tank through the compensation water connecting hose 70 and the compensation water outlet 40.

[0047] The cross-sectional area of the water outlet pipe 30 is greater than that of the water supply pipe 20, so that the water flowing through the water baffle 82 can quickly flow out of the tool tank, and the water flow is prevented from remaining in the tool tank to fill the entire tool tank.

[0048] As a preferred but not limited, the base 10 of the utility model includes a disc base 11, a main support rod 12 fixed on the disc base 11, two first support rods 13 symmetrically separated from the upper two sides of the main support rod 12, and the top of the main support rod 12 and the first support rod 13 is supported on the bottom of the tool tank. The convergence of the main support rod 12 and the first support rod 13 is provided with a second support rod 14 perpendicular to the plane formed by the main support rod 12 and the first support rod 13, and the top of the second support rod 14 is supported on the bottom of the pipeline support table 60. The tool tank and the pipeline support table 60 are integrated by the main support rod and the support rods of each branch, and the structural stability of the entire protective tool is increased.

[0049] Next, referring to the description of the above structural features, the working principle of the electronic expansion valve welding cooling protective tool of the utility model is described: Figures 1 to 7

[0050] When the electronic expansion valve needs to be welded, the upper cover plate 90 of the tool tank is first opened, the electronic expansion valve is directly placed on the expansion valve fixing frame 80, the upper cover plate 90 is lowered, and the electronic expansion valve is fixed. Then, the welding copper pipe 200 is placed on the pipeline support table 60, and the welding copper pipe 200 is butt jointed with the copper pipeline of the electronic expansion valve. After the upstream water pump switch is opened, the water flow enters the tank from the bottom of the tool tank through the water supply pipe 20, and under the condition of the set water flow, part of the water flow flows through the lower side of the valve body 100 of the electronic expansion valve through the flow distribution plate 81, which can take away the heat of the valve body 100, and the other part of the water flow flows over the upper side of the valve body 100, which can also take away the heat of the valve body 100. Subsequently, the water flow passes through the other side of the copper pipe, and due to the existence of the water baffle 82, the water surface can be controlled to just overflow the copper pipe, which can well take away the heat on the copper pipe. In addition, two compensation water outlets 40 are designed on the upper cover plate 90 of the tank, and the cooling water is sprayed on the heat concentration area through the compensation water connecting hose 70 and the compensation water outlet 40, which can assist in cooling to better control the temperature of the valve body 100 of the electronic expansion valve.

[0051] ​In the utility model, the water surface is higher than the sealing surface between the front side plate 83 of the expansion valve fixed frame 80 and the upper cover plate 90 when the water flows through the tooling groove body, but because the internal pressure is small and the sealing surface gap between the upper cover plate 90 and the tooling groove body is small, the water will not flow out from the gap under the surface tension of water, but flow out from the predetermined water outlet pipe 30.

[0052] The tooling of the utility model has finished products in the prefabrication production line in the factory, the welding quality and efficiency are obviously improved, the production line workers have good feedback experience for the tooling, and the design is very humanized. The tooling is high in working efficiency, high in quality, time-saving and labor-saving, and safe.

[0053] The above is the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and of course cannot limit the right scope of the utility model, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled personnel in the technical field, some improvements and changes can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and changes are also regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
