AI Technical Summary
In existing electric valves, the threaded fit between the valve core assembly and the drive assembly is not reliable enough, resulting in unstable axial movement and affecting sealing performance.
The valve core assembly is designed with external threads, while the drive rod of the drive assembly has internal threads. A bearing is installed between the internal thread section and the valve body. By utilizing the internal space of the drive assembly, the thread length is made longer, which improves the reliability of the threaded fit. The drive rod is supported by the bearing, which enhances the strength and coaxiality.
It improves the reliability and sealing performance of the threaded fit, ensures stable axial movement of the valve core assembly, reduces runout, and extends the service life and fluid control accuracy of the electric valve.
