[0020] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the refrigeration expansion valve adjustment tool of this application embodiment includes: an adjustment tool body 20, which is a cuboid block structure. The adjustment tool body 20 has a nut head operation port 21 in the vertical direction, which is suitable for matching with the nut head of the expansion valve 10. The adjustment tool body 20 has a valve core operation port 22 in the horizontal direction, which is suitable for matching with the valve core of the expansion valve 10. The adjustment tool body 20 has a packing adjustment part 23 extending in the horizontal direction. The extension direction of the packing adjustment part 23 is the same as the opening direction of the valve core operation port 22, and the packing adjustment part 23 is suitable for matching with the packing port of the collision valve.

[0022] In this specific embodiment, the integrated design combines three operating functions into a single tool, eliminating the need for frequent tool changes and significantly improving operational efficiency. Specifically, the compact cuboid main structure is suitable for operation in confined spaces. Each operating structure is rationally arranged according to functional requirements, conforming to the spatial distribution characteristics of the expansion valve 10 components, making operation more convenient. The vertically oriented nut head operating port 21 precisely matches the shape of the expansion valve 10 nut head, allowing direct engagement for turning. The horizontally oriented valve core operating port 22 is adapted to the valve core structure of the expansion valve 10 and is used for valve core adjustment. The horizontally extending packing adjustment section 23 extends in the same direction as the valve core operating port 22, and can cooperate with the packing port of the expansion valve 10 to achieve packing adjustment.

[0023] It should be noted that the nut head operating port 21 is a hexagonal bolt hole to facilitate the installation or removal of the nut head on the expansion valve 10, and the inner cross-section of the valve core operating port 22 is square to facilitate the installation or removal of the valve core on the expansion valve 10. The packing adjustment part 23 extending from the adjusting tool body 20 consists of two spaced columnar structures that can be inserted into the two symmetrical packing holes of the expansion valve 10 for installation or removal.

[0024] Among them, the nanite head operation port 21 is a through-hole structure.

[0025] The main body 20 of the adjustment tool is a cuboid structure, with the side having the largest cross-sectional area being a square. The operating port for the "Na" character is located on the side with the largest cross-sectional area of ​​the main body 20 of the adjustment tool.

[0026] The four sides of the main body 20 of the adjustment tool are all rectangular.

[0027] During use, align the sodium nut operating port of the adjusting tool body 20 with the sodium nut head of the expansion valve 10 and unscrew the sodium nut head. Then, align the packing operating port of the adjusting tool body 20 with the notch at the packing of the expansion valve 10 and loosen the packing. Finally, operate the valve core of the expansion valve 10 using the valve core operating port 22 of the adjusting tool body 20.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the opening of the nut head operating port 21 is rounded. This rounded design makes it easier to align the operating port and fit it onto the nut head, facilitating quick positioning. The nut head operating port 21 of the adjusting tool body 20 is then fitted onto the nut head of the expansion valve 10. Furthermore, the opening edge of the nut head operating port 21 is rounded to remove sharp edges, preventing scratches on the surface of the expansion valve 10 and protecting the operated component.

[0029] In one specific embodiment, it further includes: a valve core operating port 22 and a packing adjustment part 23, which are located on opposite sides of the adjustment tool body 20, respectively.

[0030] In this specific embodiment, structural interference during valve core operation and packing adjustment is avoided. The separation of operation positions allows the operator to select the corresponding side for operation as needed. Specifically, the main body 20 of the adjustment tool has a cuboid structure, with the valve core operation port 22 and the packing adjustment part 23 located on opposite sides of the main body 20. This allows for the lifting of the valve core operation port 22 and the packing adjustment part 23, thereby increasing the space of the main body 20 of the adjustment tool.

[0031] In one specific embodiment, it further includes: a handle 24, which is a columnar structure, with one end in the length direction fixedly connected to one side of the horizontal direction of the adjustment tool body 20. There are two handles 24, which are arranged opposite to each other on opposite sides of the adjustment tool body 20.

[0032] In this specific embodiment, the columnar handle 24 provides a comfortable grip and facilitates the application of torque. The two opposing handles 24 can accommodate different operating postures, allowing the operator to choose the grip method according to space constraints. When operating with both hands, force can be applied evenly through the two handles 24 to prevent the tool from slipping. Specifically, the two handles 24 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the adjustment tool body 20 for easy application of force.

[0033] The two handles 24, the packing adjustment part 23, and the valve core operating port 22 are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, the handle 24 is integrally formed with the adjustment tool body 20. The integrally formed structure eliminates the connection gap between the handle 24 and the body, improves the overall structural strength, avoids the problem of the handle 24 becoming loose or falling off due to repeated use, and extends the tool's service life.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the extension direction of the handle 24 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the packing adjustment part 23. This perpendicular design ensures that the handle 24 is in the optimal force application position when operating the packing, which is ergonomic. Furthermore, it avoids spatial interference between the handle 24 and the packing adjustment part 23 during operation.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, the packing adjustment part 23 includes: a first adjustment part 231 and a second adjustment part. Both the first adjustment part 231 and the second adjustment part are columnar structures with a preset length. The first adjustment part 231 and the second adjustment part are spaced apart by a preset distance. The double columnar structure can be precisely matched with the corresponding notch of the packing port of the expansion valve 10 to improve the adjustment stability.

[0037] Furthermore, in this specific embodiment, the adjusting tool body 20 is provided with a packing clearance hole 232, which is located between the first adjusting part 231 and the second adjusting part. The opening diameter of the packing clearance hole 232 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the valve core.

[0038] In this specific embodiment, the packing clearance hole 232 provides sufficient space for the valve core to avoid interference between the tool and the valve core when operating the packing.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, the adjustment tool body 20 is made of metal, which has high strength and wear resistance and can withstand large operating torque.

[0040] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
