Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to temperature control valve technical field, concretely is a temperature control valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the wind power industry has achieved rapid development. The gear box on the fan generator set needs an independent cooling circulation system for heat dissipation when operating. The cooling circulation system needs to be switched to different circulation loops according to the gear box oil temperature parameter. At present, the widely used temperature control valve in the heat dissipation system is a paraffin temperature bag type temperature control valve. It is based on the thermal expansion performance of paraffin. When the temperature of the controlled object rises, the temperature sensing element transmits the temperature change to the sealed paraffin, and the paraffin expands under heat to push the top rod to adjust the opening of the valve. The paraffin temperature bag type temperature control valve has the problems of short service life and easy jamming. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model aims at providing a temperature control valve to solve the problems raised in the background.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a temperature control valve, comprising a valve shell, further comprising a reset spring and an SMA spring, a plurality of through holes are arranged on the circumferential side wall of the middle part of the valve shell, a spoke-shaped support frame is arranged in the middle part of the inner cavity of the valve shell, an axially penetrating push rod is slidably connected to the middle part of the support frame, the reset spring and the SMA spring are respectively arranged on the two sides of the support frame, the SMA spring is sleeved on the push rod, a retaining ring is fixedly installed on the push rod, the SMA spring is located between the retaining ring and the support frame, a valve cover is fixedly installed on one end of the valve shell, one end of the push rod penetrates through the valve cover and is slidably connected thereto, and the SMA spring, the through hole and the valve cover are located on the same side of the support frame.

[0005] Preferably, the outer diameter of the reset spring is larger than that of the SMA spring, and a section of the reset spring is gap-fitted with the inner cavity of the valve shell.

[0006] Preferably, the valve cover is provided with a balance oil hole penetrating and communicating to the inner cavity of the valve shell.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that the SMA spring is used as the temperature sensing element, which has the advantages of rapid temperature sensing, long service life, simple structure and high reliability, and is beneficial to reducing the fan failure caused by the failure of the temperature control valve.
