Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive electronically controlled drain valve technology, specifically to a built-in electronically controlled drain valve with heating. Background Technology
[0002] The electrically controlled drain valve drains water by switching the valve on and off using electromagnetic force. To prevent the drain outlet from freezing and clogging in low-temperature environments, a heating element is usually installed near the drain outlet to heat it.
[0003] Existing electronically controlled drain valves have numerous and complex components, complicated assembly, many internal sealing points, and a low overall yield rate. Furthermore, due to the limited internal space of the lower valve body, the heating element is installed at the bottom of the drain outlet, resulting in poor heating performance. Additionally, the heating element is prone to failure when wet, leading to a short product lifespan and poor reliability. Utility Model Content

Attached Figure Description
[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the overall structure of this utility model.
[0020] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following embodiments will provide a more detailed description of this utility model.
[0022] Example: A built-in electrically controlled drain valve with heating, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a solenoid valve molded part 7, an iron core spring 8, a moving iron core 4, and a lower valve body 1. The solenoid valve molded part 7 is an integral molded part with a pre-built static iron core 72 and a coil 71. The iron core spring 8 and the moving iron core 4 are installed inside the solenoid valve molded part, and the lower valve body 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the solenoid valve molded part 7.
[0023] Specifically, the solenoid valve molded part 7 is a hollow cylindrical structure with an axially extending iron core channel extending downwards to the outside. A stationary iron core 72 is pre-fixed deep within the iron core channel, and the iron core spring 8 and the moving iron core 4 are sequentially arranged within the channel. The iron core channel itself serves as the coil frame, and the coil 71 is pre-placed within the cavity outside the channel. The pre-installation of some components in the solenoid valve molded part 7 simplifies the component structure, making assembly easier and eliminating some internal leaks, thus improving product yield.
[0024] In the above structure, a water inlet 15 is provided on the side of the portion of the iron core channel extending to the outside of the solenoid valve molded part 7. The water inlet 15 is connected to the iron core channel, and a filter screen 6 is provided around the water inlet 15. A stepped flared connecting part is integrally connected below the iron core channel for connecting to the lower valve body 1.
[0025] The lower valve body 1 includes a cup-shaped main body and a drain pipe extending axially from the bottom to the top of the main body. A valve port is located at the top of the drain pipe, corresponding to the moving iron core 4. The end face of the moving iron core 4 is provided with an iron core sealing block 5 that matches the valve port. When the moving iron core 4 moves up and down, it can open or close the valve port. A heater 9 surrounds the outside of the drain pipe, covering the entire drain pipe and helping to improve the heating effect while ensuring uniform heating. The heater 9 is located in the cavity between the outside of the drain pipe and the inner wall of the main body, completely isolated from the water flow channels.
[0026] The lower valve body 1 and the solenoid valve molded part 7 are fixedly connected by two solenoid valve fixing pins 12. Specifically, the lower valve body 1 has two pairs of pin holes 13 at the top opposite each other for the solenoid valve fixing pins to be inserted, and the connecting part of the solenoid valve molded part 7 has a corresponding pin groove 14. After the lower valve body 1 and the solenoid valve molded part 7 are assembled in place, they are fixed by inserting the solenoid valve fixing pins 12 into the pin holes 13 and pin grooves 14.
[0027] In this embodiment, the outer contour of the valve port matches the inner diameter of the iron core channel, and the outer surface of the valve port is provided with a valve port sealing ring 10; the outer diameter of the connecting part matches the inner diameter of the body, and the outer surface of the connecting part is also provided with a sealing ring 11.
[0028] During assembly, first install the spring 8 and the moving iron core 4 into the iron core channel, then put the filter screen 6 on the outside of the solenoid valve molded part, and then install the lower valve body 1 on the bottom of the solenoid valve molded part 7, so that the valve port is inserted into the iron core channel and the connecting part is inserted into the body, and align the pin hole 13 and the corresponding pin groove 14 so that they are on the same straight line, and then insert the solenoid valve fixing pin 12 to complete the assembly.
[0029] When the lower valve body 1 and the solenoid valve molding 7 are assembled, the valve port extends into the iron core channel and is sealed. When the moving iron core 4 moves upward under electromagnetic action and opens the valve port, the water inlet 15 is connected to the drainage channel, allowing drainage. After power is cut off, the moving iron core 4 seals the valve port under the action of the spring, disconnecting the passage. At the same time, the connecting part seals with the body of the lower valve body 1, sealing and isolating the cavity where the heater 9 is located, ensuring that the interior is completely dry and sealed.
[0030] In this embodiment, a water inlet pipe 3 is installed at the bottom of the drainage pipe to guide the drainage direction.
[0031] In this embodiment, the side of the lower valve body 1 is also provided with a wiring opening, and a waterproof plug 2 is provided at the opening. The wire passes through the waterproof plug 2 at the opening and enters the cavity where the heater 9 is located to supply power to the heater. At the same time, a connector for supplying power to the coil is led out from the bottom of the solenoid valve molded part 7. The connector is inserted into the cavity where the heater is located and connected to the external wire.
[0032] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
