Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of valve technology, and specifically refers to a valve core used in electric valves. Background Technology

[0002] An electric valve is controlled by an electric actuator, which controls the rotation angle of the valve stem in the valve core to control the flow rate of the medium in the pipeline. For example, the electric valve described in Chinese Patent Application No. 2020114108642 includes a transmission mechanism, a valve stem, and a connecting seat. The transmission mechanism includes a fixed gear ring and an output planetary carrier. The connecting seat has a receiving cavity and includes a first step. Part of the fixed gear ring is located in the receiving cavity and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat. The output planetary carrier is integrally formed with or assembled with the valve stem and is located in the receiving cavity. The output planetary carrier is positioned between the fixed gear ring and the first step, and is axially limited by the fixed gear ring and the first step. Thus, when fluid pressure acts on the valve stem, the pressure is transmitted to the fixed gear ring through the output planetary carrier. The fixed gear ring is fixedly positioned, allowing the fluid pressure to be offset by the fixed gear ring. This helps to avoid increased rotational friction in the transmission mechanism caused by fluid pressure, reducing frictional losses in the transmission mechanism and thus improving the service life of the electric valve.

[0003] However, the valve core is spherical, and the channel in the middle of the valve core will form a certain angle with the valve core seat during rotation. The medium flows into the valve body cavity and stagnates in the dead corner. Scale is easy to form on the inner wall of the valve body cavity. The scale adhesion increases the rotational resistance of the valve core, reduces the sensitivity of the valve core rotation, and affects the opening or closing of the valve core. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a valve core for electric valves. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to improve the valve core structure, reduce scale formation, and thus ensure the sensitive and precise control performance of the valve core.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A valve core for an electric valve includes a valve housing, wherein the valve housing includes, from top to bottom, a valve stem, a moving valve plate, and a stationary valve plate. The valve stem is fixedly connected to the moving valve plate. The moving valve plate has a water inlet hole one and a blocking part one. The stationary valve plate has a water inlet hole two and a blocking part two. The moving valve plate and the stationary valve plate achieve the opening or closing of the water inlet hole one and the water inlet hole two by abutting against each other on a plane and rotating relative to each other. A water inlet seat is sealed and fixed at the lower end of the stationary valve plate. A water inlet channel and a water guide part are formed in the water inlet seat. A fixed seat is sealed and fixed in the water inlet channel. A water passage hole is provided in the middle of the fixed seat. The water passage hole is connected to the water inlet channel. A one-way water passage component is provided between the fixed seat and the water guide part. The one-way water passage component moves up and down to abut against or move away from the fixed seat to block or open the water passage hole.

[0006] In this design, both the moving and stationary valve plates are made of ceramic. The stationary valve plate has two inlet holes and two sealing parts, while the moving valve plate also has one inlet hole and one sealing part. When the valve stem rotates, it drives the moving valve plate to rotate. The moving and stationary valve plates slide in close planar contact. The medium flows only through the one and two inlet holes on the moving and stationary valve plates. The inlet holes are open when aligned and closed when misaligned. To better buffer the water flow, reduce the impact of the water flow on the moving and stationary valve plates, and prevent backflow, a one-way water passage component is installed under the stationary valve plate. The flow channel formed between the one-way water passage component and the inlet seat is directly connected to the inlet hole, so that there is no angled stagnation area after the medium enters the valve core. The medium cannot stagnate and form scale, ensuring the sensitive and precise control performance of the valve core.

[0007] Furthermore, the water guide portion is located at the end of the water inlet seat, the water guide portion has at least two axially distributed water guide holes, the water guide portion has a guide hole, and the water guide hole surrounds the guide hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the unidirectional water-passing component includes an arc plate, a guide rod formed in the middle of the arc plate, and an arc-shaped claw formed on the upper end of the arc plate and protruding outward. There are at least two arc-shaped claws and they are evenly distributed circumferentially. The water-passing guide part has a guide hole in the middle. The guide rod passes through the guide hole. A return spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide rod. The two ends of the return spring abut against the arc plate and the water-passing guide part, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner peripheral wall of the water inlet seat is provided with an arc-shaped groove that gradually expands towards the water guide part, and the upper end of the arc-shaped claw abuts against the side wall of the arc-shaped groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a sealing element is embedded in the outer periphery of the water inlet seat, the outer periphery of the sealing element abuts against the valve body, and the upper end of the sealing element abuts against the fixed plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the seal has at least two rings of sealing protrusions protruding upwards, and the lower end of the seal has at least two rings of sealing protrusions protruding downwards.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper end of the valve body is provided with a mounting hole, the end of the valve stem away from the moving valve plate extends out of the mounting hole, and a sealing ring is provided between the valve stem and the wall of the mounting hole.

[0013] Furthermore, a water outlet is provided on the side wall of the valve housing.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the technical advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. Water flows evenly through the guide hole to push the arc plate, avoiding direct impact on the stationary and moving valve plates, reducing vibration. The flow channel formed between the unidirectional water passage and the inlet seat is directly connected to the inlet hole, ensuring that there is no angled stagnation area after the medium enters the valve core. This prevents the medium from stagnating and forming scale, thus ensuring the sensitive and precise control performance of the valve core. 2. When the valve core is closed, the return spring forcibly closes the water passage, preventing the medium from flowing back, stagnating, and forming scale. Attached Figure Description
