Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pressure reducing valve technology, specifically to a CO2 refrigeration pressure reducing valve and a CO2 refrigeration system. Background Technology
[0002] The CO2 refrigeration pressure reducing valve is a key component in the refrigeration system. Its main function is to reduce the refrigerant pressure on the high-pressure side and stabilize it within the required pressure range on the low-pressure side. This pressure reduction process is crucial for the efficiency and stability of the refrigeration system.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218207995U discloses an external CO2 refrigeration pressure reducing valve, including a pressure reducing pipe, an adjusting box, and a pressure gauge. The adjusting box is welded to the top of the pressure reducing pipe, and a pressure gauge is installed on the top of the adjusting box. A pressure reducing component is installed inside the pressure reducing pipe, and the top of the pressure reducing component extends into the adjusting box. A pressure regulating component is installed inside the adjusting box, and one end of the pressure regulating component is engaged with the top of the pressure reducing component. This invention has the advantages of automatically adjusting the internal pressure according to the gas pressure inside the pipe, and adjusting the gas pressure inside the pipe as needed, eliminating the need for manual operation, avoiding frostbite, and improving safety.

[0053] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0054] Example 1:
[0055] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a CO2 refrigeration pressure reducing valve and a CO2 refrigeration system, including: a pressure reducing pipe 1 and a baffle 2 arranged inside the pressure reducing pipe 1 to block part of the CO2 gas flow, a through hole 3 opened inside the baffle 2 for CO2 gas flow, and a sealing structure arranged inside the pressure reducing pipe 1 to seal the through hole 3.
[0056] The sealing structure includes a connecting seat 4 arranged on the outer surface of the pressure reducing pipe 1, a movable sleeve 401 slidably installed inside the connecting seat 4 and the pressure reducing pipe 1, a retaining ring 402 fixedly sleeved on the movable sleeve 401, and an umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403 movably sleeved on the movable sleeve 401. The umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403 is located on one side of the retaining ring 402 and contacts the inner wall of the through hole 3 to block the through hole 3. By adjusting the movable sleeve 401 to move it, the retaining ring 402 and the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403 can be moved, causing the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403 to disengage from the inner wall of the through hole 3. At this time, the through hole 3 can be opened, allowing CO2 gas to flow through the pressure reducing pipe 1 and the through hole 3.
[0057] Example 2:
[0058] Based on Example 1, in order to facilitate precise adjustment of the pressure of CO2 gas flowing in the pressure reducing pipe 1, an adjustment structure for controlling the opening and closing of the sealing structure is arranged on the sealing structure.
[0059] The adjustment structure includes an L-shaped bracket 5 arranged on one side of the connecting seat 4, a worm gear 501 rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 4 and the L-shaped bracket 5, a threaded hole 502 opened inside the worm gear 501, the worm gear 501 being threadedly sleeved on the movable sleeve rod 401 through the threaded hole 502, the surface of the movable sleeve rod 401 being provided with a thread adapted to the threaded hole 502, a drive assembly arranged on the worm gear 501 for driving the worm gear 501 to rotate, and a limiting assembly arranged on the worm gear 501 for limiting the position of the worm gear 501 when rotating. The drive assembly drives the worm gear 501 to rotate, and the rotating worm gear 501 can drive the movable sleeve rod 401 to move through the threaded engagement between the threaded hole 502 and the movable sleeve rod 401.
[0060] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a support frame 503 arranged on the connecting seat 4, a rotating shaft 504 rotatably installed inside the support frame 503, a worm 505 fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 504, the worm 505 meshing with the worm wheel 501, and a motor 506 arranged on one side of the support frame 503 for driving the rotating shaft 504 to rotate. The output end of the motor 506 is arranged at one end of the rotating shaft 504. When the motor 506 is turned on, it can drive the worm 505 to rotate through the rotating shaft 504, so that the rotating worm 505 drives the worm wheel 501 to rotate through meshing with the worm wheel 501.
[0061] Specifically, the limiting component includes two limiting rings 507 respectively arranged on one side of the connecting seat 4 and the L-shaped bracket 5. Both limiting rings 507 are rotatably installed inside the worm gear 501. When the worm gear 501 rotates, it can rotate on the limiting rings 507 on one side of the connecting seat 4 and the L-shaped bracket 5, thereby limiting the position of the worm gear 501 when it rotates and preventing it from deviating.
[0062] The adjustment structure also includes a guide assembly arranged on the movable sleeve 401 to limit the direction of movement of the movable sleeve 401.
[0063] Specifically, the guide assembly includes a guide frame 508 fixedly sleeved on the movable sleeve 401, a guide hole 509 opened inside the guide frame 508, and a guide rod 510 arranged on one side of the L-shaped bracket 5. The guide rod 510 is slidably installed inside the guide hole 509. The movable sleeve 401 can drive the guide frame 508 to move, so that the guide frame 508 can slide on the guide rod 510 through the guide hole 509, thereby restricting the movement direction of the movable sleeve 401.
[0064] Example 3:
[0065] Based on Example 2, in order to ensure that the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the through hole 3 when the pressure reducing tube 1 is closed, and to improve its sealing performance, a compression structure is arranged on the sealing structure to compress the sealing structure and maintain its sealing effect.
[0066] The extrusion structure includes an adjusting screw 6 and a cap 601 and a pressure plate 602 arranged at both ends of the adjusting screw 6. The pressure plate 602 is in contact with the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403. A threaded hole 603 is opened inside the movable sleeve 401. The adjusting screw 6 is threadedly installed in the threaded hole 603. Rotating the cap 601 drives the adjusting screw 6 to rotate. The rotating adjusting screw 6 can move by engaging with the threaded hole 603, so that the moving adjusting screw 6 can drive the pressure plate 602 to extrude the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403.
[0067] This utility model also provides a CO2 refrigeration system, including a CO2 refrigeration pressure reducing valve.
[0068] Working principle:
[0069] By activating the motor 506, the rotating shaft 504 can be driven to rotate inside the support frame 503. The rotating shaft 504 drives the worm gear 505 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 501 to rotate through meshing with it. The continuously rotating worm wheel 501 drives the movable sleeve 401 to move through the threaded hole 502 and the threaded engagement of the movable sleeve 401. This causes the movable sleeve 401 to move the retaining ring 402 and the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403, disengaging the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403 from its contact with the inner wall of the through hole 3. At this point, the through hole 3 can be opened, allowing CO2 gas to pass through the pressure reducing pipe 1 and the through hole 3. The flow is facilitated by adjusting the opening degree of the through hole 3 to reduce the pressure of the passing CO2 gas. A pressure gauge can be installed on the pressure reducing pipe 1 to check the gas pressure at both ends, so as to make precise adjustments according to the required pressure. When the valve is closed, if the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403 is worn and causes poor contact between it and the inner wall of the through hole 3, the screw cap 601 can be rotated to drive the adjusting screw 6 to rotate. The rotating adjusting screw 6 can move through the thread engagement with the threaded hole 603, so that the moving adjusting screw 6 can drive the pressure plate 602 to move, so that the pressure plate 602 squeezes the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403 and presses the umbrella-shaped rubber plug 403 into the through hole 3.
[0070] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope.
