[0011] 3 and 8, the valve seat member 21 includes a valve seat portion 211 and a valve socket portion 212, the valve seat portion 211 and the valve socket portion 212 are molded separately and fixedly connected, the fixed connection method includes welding, crimping, etc. In another embodiment, the valve seat portion 211 and the valve socket portion 212 may be molded as a single unit. The valve socket portion 212 is formed with a valve port 2121, and the valve body member 23 has a valve needle portion 231, which opens or closes the valve port 2121 or adjusts the flow area of the valve port 2121, and further adjusts the flow rate passing through the valve port 2121.

[0013] Combining Figures 3 to 10 and Figure 22, the valve device 100 further includes a mounting block 3 for mounting the valve device 100 to other members, the other members including the valve body 101, the heat exchange core, etc., the mounting block 3 has a mounting hole 31, a part of the valve seat member 21 is located in the mounting hole 31, the hole diameter of at least a part of the mounting hole 31 is smaller than the outer diameter of the flange portion 2112, the flange portion 2112 restricts the mounting block 3 from coming off the valve seat member 21 in a direction away from the coil unit 1, the valve device 100 further includes a pad 4, at least a part of the pad 4 is located between the valve seat member 21 and the inner circumferential wall forming the mounting hole 31, and the pad 4 is fastened between the mounting block 3 and the valve seat member 21 so as to be tightly fitted, restricting circumferential rotation of the valve seat member 21 relative to the mounting block 3, and further restricting circumferential rotation of the valve member 2 relative to the mounting block 3. By arranging them in this manner, circumferential rotation and axial movement of the valve seat member 21 or the valve member 2 relative to the mounting block 3 is restricted; by assembling the valve device 100 as an independent whole, the valve device 100 can be easily transported; and by fixing the valve device 100 as a whole to other members such as the valve body 101 and the heat exchange core, mounting efficiency is improved; and after mounting, the valve member 2 cannot rotate circumferentially relative to the valve body 101 or the heat exchange core, and the positions of each component are fixed relative to one another, thereby improving the reliability of the valve device 100.
[0014] Combining Figures 3 to 12, in a first embodiment of the valve device 100, a portion of the valve seat portion 211 is located in the mounting hole 31, the pad 4 has an annular cylindrical shape and includes a first pad portion 41 and a second pad portion 42, the outer diameter of the first pad portion 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the second pad portion 42, the first pad portion 41 is relatively close to the coil unit 1, the second pad portion 42 is fitted between the mounting block 3 and the valve seat member 21 so as to be tightly fitted, and the inner surface of the second pad portion 42 contacts the outer surface of the valve seat cover 2111 and contacts the inner wall forming the mounting hole 31.

Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting hole 31 does not need to have a small hole diameter, and the small hole diameter is changed to be the same as the intermediate hole diameter, and the first side wall 3111 and the second side wall 3112 are on the same plane. In this embodiment, the mounting block 3 includes a first surface 32 and a second surface 33, the first surface 32 is the upper end surface of the mounting block 3, the second surface 33 is the lower end surface of the mounting block 3, and the lower end surface of the part of the first pad portion 41 protruding from the second pad portion 42 abuts against the first surface 32 of the mounting block 3, which limits the relative position between the pad 4 and the mounting block 3 and prevents excessive press-in when the pad 4 is tightly fitted.
[0015] 3 to 12, in this embodiment, the lower end of the mounting block 3 is provided with a recess 34, and the hole diameter of the side wall forming the recess 34 is larger than the minimum hole diameter of the mounting hole 31.

The lowermost end of the pad 4 is located below the first welded seam 2113, and the uppermost end is located above the first welded seam 2113. At least a part of the inner peripheral surface of the second pad portion 42 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the valve seat cover 2111. This arrangement reduces the contact between the first welded seam 2113 and the outside, thereby protecting the first welded seam 2113, reducing the risk of the welded seam rusting, and further reducing the water, gas or other medium entering the gap between the coil unit 1 and the sleeve 25.
