[0034] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 , the utility model proposes a kind of rotor assembly, comprising:

[0035] Magnetic rotor 10, the magnetic rotor 10 is annular, it is used to accommodate valve stem 51 and nut 52;

[0036] Connecting plate 20, the connecting plate 20 is connected to the magnetic rotor 10, and is used to be fixedly connected for valve stem 51, limit hole 21 is equipped on the connecting plate 20;

[0037] Limiting rod 30, the limiting rod 30 includes the connecting section 31 and limiting section 32 connected, the limiting section 32 passes through the limit hole 21, and extend along the axial direction of the magnetic rotor 10;And

[0038] Limiting structure, the limiting structure is connected to the connecting plate 20, and the connecting section 31 is clamped between the connecting plate 20 and the limiting structure.

[0039] The utility model discloses a technical scheme in which the connecting plate 20 is provided with a limiting hole 21, and the limiting rod 30 comprises a connecting section 31 and a limiting section 32 connected with each other. The limiting section 32 passes through the limiting hole 21, thereby limiting the circumference of the limiting rod 30. Then, the limiting structure connected with the connecting plate 20 is used, so that the connecting section 31 is clamped between the limiting structure and the connecting plate 20, thereby limiting the axial direction of the limiting rod 30. The limiting structure and the limiting hole 21 are used to realize the installation and fixation of the limiting rod 30. Compared with the technical scheme in the prior art in which the limiting rod 30 is welded to the connecting plate 20, the utility model technical scheme avoids the demagnetization of the rotor caused by the high temperature generated by welding the limiting rod 30, thereby improving the yield of the rotor assembly and the stability of the electronic expansion valve. The limiting hole 21 can be one or multiple.

[0040] The utility model discloses a technical scheme in which the rotor assembly operates as follows: the controller receives the signals of the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor, and then the motor drives the magnetic rotor 10 through electromagnetic induction. When the coil of the motor is electrified, a rotating magnetic field is generated around the coil. The magnetic lines of the magnetic field pass through the shell and interact with the magnetic field around the magnetic rotor 10. Since the magnetic rotor 10 itself has magnetism, it starts to rotate under the drive of the external magnetic field, and then drives the connecting plate 20 and the limiting rod 30 to rotate. The valve rod 51 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 20, and the nut 52 is threadedly connected to the valve rod 51. Therefore, when the magnetic rotor 10 rotates, the valve rod 51 moves axially through the threads in the nut 52. The valve core at the front end of the valve rod 51 cooperates with the valve hole on the valve seat 53. The up-and-down movement of the valve rod 51 changes the gap between the valve core and the valve hole, thereby changing the opening size of the valve port 531 and accurately controlling the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator.

[0041] Specifically, the two side walls of the limiting section 32 along the circumferential direction of the magnetic rotor 10 abut against the hole walls of the limiting hole 21, thereby reducing the gap between the two side walls of the limiting section 32 along the circumferential direction of the magnetic rotor 10 and the hole walls of the limiting hole 21. During the rotation of the magnetic rotor 10, the cooperation between the limiting section 32 and the limiting hole 21 can effectively prevent the radial displacement and shaking of the magnetic rotor 10, so that the rotation of the magnetic rotor 10 is more stable, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the electronic expansion valve, and reducing the component wear and failure caused by shaking and the like. At the same time, the abutment of the limiting rod 30 and the hole walls of the limiting hole 21 can accurately limit the rotation range of the magnetic rotor 10, so as to ensure that the magnetic rotor 10 rotates within a predetermined angle, thereby realizing the accurate control of the opening of the electronic expansion valve, such as the accurate adjustment of the refrigerant flow in the air conditioning system.

[0042] Further, the outer peripheral wall of the nut 52 is provided with a limiting sliding ring 521. In this process, the magnetic rotor 10, the connecting plate 20 and the limiting rod 30 rotate around the center of the valve rod 51 and also synchronously move linearly along the axial direction of the valve rod 51. When the limiting rod 30 contacts the limiting sliding ring 521, the limiting sliding ring 521 rotates along the guide groove on the outer periphery of the nut 52 to realize the movement in the axial direction of the nut 52. When the valve rod 51 completely closes the valve port 531, the limiting sliding ring 521 also moves to the end of the guide groove, and at this time, the limiting sliding ring 521 is in the limit position. Thus, the limiting sliding ring 521 cannot continue to rotate, and the limiting rod 30 acts on the magnetic rotor 10, thereby limiting the rotation of the magnetic rotor 10. That is, at this time, the magnetic rotor 10, the connecting plate 20, the limiting rod 30 and the valve rod 51 cannot continue to move towards the valve port 531, thereby avoiding damage to the components in the electronic expansion valve. Similarly, when the valve port 531 is opened to a certain extent, the limiting sliding ring 521 is in another limit position to avoid the rotor assembly from moving away from the valve port 531, thereby ensuring the stability of the electromagnetic expansion valve.

[0043] With reference to Figures 3 to 5 Specifically, the limiting structure is a snap spring 40, the connecting plate 20 is provided with a snap spring groove 221, the snap spring 40 is clamped in the snap spring groove 221, and the connecting section 31 is clamped between the connecting plate 20 and the snap spring 40. The snap spring 40 is convenient to install, has low cost and stable and reliable performance. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting structure can also be a clamping plate, which is fixed in the snap spring groove 221 to limit the axial direction of the limiting rod 30.

[0044] Further, the connecting plate 20 is provided with a mounting ring table 22, the snap spring groove 221 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the mounting ring table 22, the connecting section 31 is annular, and the connecting section 31 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting ring table 22. By sleeving the connecting section 31 of the limiting rod 30 on the outer periphery of the mounting ring table 22, the radial direction of the limiting rod 30 is limited; at the same time, the outer peripheral wall of the valve rod 51 is fixedly connected to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting ring table 22.

[0045] In an embodiment, the inner circumferential wall of the magnetic rotor 10 is provided with an annular groove 11, and the connecting plate 20 is installed in the annular groove 11. The annular groove 11 provides a stable installation position for the connecting plate 20, making the connection between the two more tight and stable, and effectively preventing the connecting plate 20 from loosening or falling off due to centrifugal force and other factors when the magnetic rotor 10 rotates at high speed, ensuring the normal operation of the electronic expansion valve. When the magnetic rotor 10 rotates under the action of the magnetic field force, the cooperation between the annular groove 11 and the connecting plate 20 can make the force more evenly transmitted to the valve rod 51 and other components, avoiding damage to the components due to excessive local stress, and improving the reliability and service life of the electronic expansion valve. Finally, the design of the annular groove 11 can make full use of the space inside the magnetic rotor 10, making the structure of the electronic expansion valve more compact, realizing more functions in a limited space, and further facilitating the miniaturization of the rotor assembly.

[0046] With reference to Figures 4 to 6 Further, the outer periphery of the connecting plate 20 is provided with a concave-convex structure, and the groove wall of the annular groove 11 is matched with the outer periphery of the connecting plate 20. Thus, the contact area between the outer periphery of the connecting plate 20 and the groove wall of the annular groove 11 is increased, making the connection between the connecting plate 20 and the annular groove 11 more tight and stable, and further effectively reducing the displacement or shaking of the connecting plate 20 relative to the magnetic rotor 10 during high-speed rotation of the magnetic rotor 10 and operation of the equipment, ensuring the synchronous movement of the two, maintaining the normal operation of the electronic expansion valve, and further improving the stability and reliability of the electronic expansion valve. When the magnetic rotor 10 rotates under the action of the magnetic field force, the concave-convex structure can make the force transmitted to the connecting plate 20 along a specific direction and path, and then transmitted to the valve rod 51 and other components by the connecting plate 20, reducing the loss and dispersion of the force, improving the response speed and control accuracy of the electronic expansion valve. Finally, the concave-convex structure of the outer periphery helps to improve the rotational balance of the magnetic rotor 10. Due to the symmetry and uniformity of the concave-convex structure, the mass distribution of the magnetic rotor 10 during rotation is more reasonable, reducing the vibration and noise caused by mass imbalance, prolonging the service life of the equipment, and improving the stability and reliability of the operation.

[0047] With reference to Figure 7 Wherein, the connecting section 31 and the limiting section 32 are integrally formed, thereby improving the connection strength between the connecting section 31 and the limiting section 32, and further improving the structural strength of the limiting rod 30. Understandably, when the magnetic rotor 10 drives the connecting plate 20 and the limiting rod 30 to rotate at high speed and during operation of the equipment, the limiting section 32 of the limiting rod 30 is prevented from breaking during high-speed rotation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the rotor assembly and the electronic expansion valve. Wherein, the integrally formed connecting section 31 and limiting section 32 can be integrally formed by welding, integrally formed by injection molding, integrally formed by bending, etc.

[0048] In an embodiment, the connecting plate 20 is integrally formed with the magnetic rotor 10 by injection molding. Thus, the connecting strength between the connecting plate 20 and the magnetic rotor 10 is improved, so that greater centrifugal force, vibration force and other external forces can be borne when the electronic expansion valve is in operation, effectively preventing relative displacement, loosening or even falling off of the connecting plate 20 and the magnetic rotor 10, ensuring the integrity and stability of the structure, and further improving the stability of the electronic expansion valve. Further, the force generated when the magnetic rotor 10 rotates can be directly and uniformly transmitted to the connecting plate 20, avoiding force transmission loss and unevenness caused by gaps or loose connection at the connecting part, improving the force transmission efficiency, enabling the valve rod 51 and other components to more accurately respond to the rotation of the magnetic rotor 10, and improving the control accuracy and response speed of the electronic expansion valve. At the same time, the integrally formed connecting plate 20 and the magnetic rotor 10 can ensure the concentricity, reducing the problem of poor concentricity caused by assembly errors and other factors; during the operation of the electronic expansion valve, the center of rotation of the magnetic rotor 10 and the geometric center can be kept in good coincidence, avoiding the deflection of the magnetic rotor 10, thereby improving the service life of the rotor assembly and the electronic expansion valve, and improving the stability and reliability of the rotor assembly and the electronic expansion valve.
