[0020] The utility model will be further described in detail below by means of the drawings and examples.

[0021] As Figure 1 shown: the use principle of the valve body is that the expansion amount of the diaphragm 2 (the built-in temperature sensing element) is transmitted to the valve core rod 6 (the diaphragm 2 expands and pushes downward to make the valve core rod 6 move downward) by detecting the temperature at the outlet of the evaporator, and then the evaporator inlet size is automatically adjusted (i.e. the amount of refrigerant entering is controlled).

[0022] An automobile air conditioner matching valve core, as Figure 1As shown, the valve core includes a valve body 1, a diaphragm 2, a valve core rod 6, a return spring 4 and a valve ball 3, which serves to control the inlet amount of the evaporator, wherein the bottom of the diaphragm 2 is connected with the valve core rod 6, the bottom end of the valve core rod 6 is connected with the valve ball 3, the bottom of the valve ball 3 is connected with the return spring 4, the temperature sensing element in the diaphragm 2 senses the higher temperature at the outlet of the evaporator, the diaphragm 2 drives the valve core rod 6 to move downward by a larger displacement, and at this time the opening of the valve ball 3 is increased.

[0023] After the temperature at the outlet of the evaporator is reduced, the return spring 4 drives the valve ball 3 to hit the outer wall of the channel each time, and long-term use will cause the valve ball 3 made of steel to be worn and the outer wall of the channel to be worn, thereby causing the problem of refrigerant leakage.

[0024] Therefore, improvements are made at this position, as shown in the drawings: Figures 2-3 As shown, a piston body 8 is first connected at the bottom of the valve rod, the piston body 8 is divided into an upper part and a lower part, the upper part blocks the channel opening into the evaporator, and the lower part extends around and closely adheres to the outer wall of the channel. Since the piston body 8 cannot be too tightly fitted with the inner diameter of the channel opening (it is easy to cause the channel to be difficult to press out), the radial dimension of the upper part of the piston body 8 needs to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the inner wall of the channel opening, and the lower part of the piston body 8 serves as the first seal, and then the material of the piston body 8 needs to be a flexible material, such as a flexible pad, silicone, etc., which can reduce the problem of impact and wear with the outer wall of the channel.

[0025] Secondly, the lower end of the piston body 8 is connected with the valve ball 3 matched with the return spring 4, the outer periphery of the piston body 8 and at the outer wall of the channel is provided with a circumferential enclosure, and the upper part thereof normally abuts against the outer wall of the channel.

[0026] The enclosure is independent of the valve ball 3 and the piston body 8, is supported by the support rod 9 connected with the inner wall of the valve core through the side, the bottom and the top of the enclosure are made of a flexible material, the middle is a rigid material connecting the two, so that the valve ball 3 is buffered when it moves upward with the piston body 8 to hit the enclosure by means of the return spring 4, and the caliber of the bottom of the enclosure is matched with the valve ball 3, so that the valve ball 3 and the bottom of the enclosure abut to form the second seal.

[0027] As shown in the drawings, Figure 4 As an improvement, the bottom of the valve body 1 can be split, an extension sealing seat 127 is movably installed by a flange 5 and a bolt, and then a detachable assembly body is formed, which is convenient for regular maintenance and replacement of the internal structure.

[0028] The above description is based on the examples, through the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the novel technology used is not limited to the content in the specification, and the scope of protection must be determined according to the scope of claims.
