Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical parts, and more specifically, to the housing of a brushless electric valve. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of fluid control, electric valves are widely used in water supply and drainage, HVAC, and gas applications due to their high degree of automation. Existing electric valve housings adapted to valve bodies with a diameter of 50 mm or less (DN50 and below) mainly face the following technical bottlenecks:

[0003] (1) Insufficient adaptability: Traditional housings are mostly designed for valve bodies of specific diameters, such as DN15-DN25, which require separate molds, resulting in high costs for small-batch production. For example, the housing of a DN15 electric valve is not compatible with a DN32 valve body, requiring the purchase of different models, increasing inventory pressure. The connection structure between the brushless motor and the valve body is fixed, making it difficult to adapt to the interface dimensions of different brands of valve bodies (such as differences in thread pitch and flange hole positions).

[0004] (2) Inconvenient installation and maintenance: The outer casing and valve body are mostly fixed by bolts, and disassembly requires special tools. In addition, the motor control wires are hidden inside the casing, and the whole unit needs to be disassembled during maintenance, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. For example, it takes more than 20 minutes to remove eight screws when replacing the position sensor. Utility Model Content

The first screw passes through the upper fixing through hole 121 and the lower fixing through hole 241 and engages with the first nut 5, thereby allowing the lower edge of the upper shell 1 to be detachably connected to the upper edge of the lower shell 2. The wiring hole 22 is located at the bottom of the lower shell, and a waterproof connector 25 is sealed and installed on the wiring hole 22. The bottom of the lower shell 2 is recessed upward to form a base receiving groove 26 that matches the shape and size of the replaceable base 3, and the replaceable base 3 is installed in the base receiving groove 26. The four corners of the bottom of the base receiving groove 26 are respectively provided with upper connecting holes 261, and the four corners of the replaceable base 3 are respectively provided with lower connecting holes 33 opposite to the upper connecting holes 261. The second screw passes through the lower connecting holes 33 and the upper connecting holes 261 from bottom to top and is screwed into the second nut 6.

[0025] Preferably, the brushless electric valve housing further includes two nameplates 7, lamp caps 8, and rubber waterproof plugs 9. The upper shell 1 has two opposite outer side walls with downward-facing upper nameplate slots 13. The lower shell 2 has an outer side wall opposite the upper nameplate slots 13 with a lower nameplate slot 27. The upper nameplate slots 13 and 27 are joined to form nameplate slots, and the nameplates 7 are affixed to these slots. An inner lamp cap insertion hole 131 is formed in the upper nameplate slot 13, penetrating the upper shell 1. An outer lamp cap insertion hole 71 is formed opposite the inner lamp cap insertion hole 131 on the nameplate 7. The lamp caps 8 are sequentially inserted through the inner lamp cap insertion hole 131 and the outer lamp cap insertion hole 71. A top hole 14 is formed at the top of the upper shell 1, and the rubber waterproof plugs 9 are inserted into the top hole 14. The top of the replaceable base 3 is also provided with a positioning groove 34, and the bottom of the base receiving groove 26 is provided with a positioning boss 262 protruding downwards from the positioning groove 34. The positioning boss 262 is inserted into the positioning groove 34.

[0026] In use, the base metal plate 510 is fixed to the bottom wall of the lower shell 2 with screws. The base metal plate 510 has a motor mounting hole (not shown) and a valve body connecting shaft hole (not shown). The brushless motor 530 is fixedly installed on the base metal plate 510, and the output shaft of the brushless motor 530 passes downward through the motor mounting hole and connects to the drive wheel (not shown). The valve body connecting shaft 540 is rotatably inserted into the valve body connecting shaft hole. The lower end face of the valve body connecting shaft 540 has a mating groove 541. A driven wheel (not shown) is fixedly fitted on the valve body connecting shaft 540. The transmission belt (not shown) is wound around the drive wheel and the driven wheel. The circuit board 550 is fixed to the base metal plate 510 by copper pillars 551. The lamp extension on the circuit board 550 is directly opposite the lamp cap 8. The circuit board 550 is electrically connected to the brushless motor 530. The bottom of the lower housing 2 is also equipped with an emergency button 552 electrically connected to the circuit board 550. The bottom of the replaceable base 3 mates with the output end face (usually the flange end face) of the valve body. The valve body connection hole 32 is aligned with the output connection hole on the output end face of the valve body. A screw passes through the valve body connection hole and the output connection hole and is screwed into the nut to connect the bottom of the replaceable base 3 with the valve body. The input end of the valve body's shaft core engages with the docking slot 541 at the lower end of the valve body connecting shaft 540. The brushless motor 530 drives the drive wheel to rotate forward and backward, which in turn drives the driven wheel to rotate forward and backward, which in turn drives the valve body connecting shaft 540 to rotate forward and backward, which in turn drives the valve body's shaft core to rotate forward and backward, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the valve body. When this utility model is used with different models of valve bodies, only the replaceable base 3 of the corresponding specification needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire motor housing, saving manufacturing costs. Moreover, maintenance can be carried out by simply disassembling the upper housing 1, making maintenance quicker and more convenient. In addition, the sealing ring 4 is installed between the upper sealing groove 11 and the lower sealing groove 23, and the waterproof connector 25 is sealed on the wiring hole 22, which makes the sealing and moisture-proof effect of the housing better, thereby preventing the circuit board 550 from short-circuiting due to moisture.

[0027] It should be noted that the wiring hole 22 can also be located on the outer wall of the upper shell 1.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
