[0008] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific examples.
[0009] Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, the electric valve 1 includes a control unit 1a, a valve body 40, a valve member 21 and a stator unit 20, the stator unit 20 is fixed to the control unit 1a, the stator unit 20 is electrically connected and / or signal-connected to the control unit 1a, and the control unit 1a can be electrically connected and / or signal-connected to the outside. The stator unit 20 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the valve member 21 , and the stator unit 20 is fixed to the valve body 40 , with a portion of the valve member 21 located in the valve body 40 . The electric valve 1 further includes a first sensing device 50, which is fixed to the valve body 40, electrically connected and / or signal-connected to the control unit 1a, and is capable of detecting the temperature and / or pressure of the working medium.
[0010] The electric valve 1 includes an inlet 212, an outlet 213, a first passage 41, and a second passage 214, the second passage 214 connecting the inlet 212 and the outlet 213, and along the axial direction of the stator unit 20, the first passage 41 is farther from the stator unit 20 than the inlet 212 and the outlet 213. The valve body 40 includes a first valve body 401 and a second valve body 402, and the inlet 212, the outlet 213, and the second passage 214 are all located in the first valve body 401, the inlet 212 and the outlet 213 are located on two adjacent walls of the first valve body 401, and the first passage 41 is located in the second valve body 402, and the first passage 41 and the second passage 214 do not communicate with each other.
[0011] The first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 are molded separately, and compared to the integrated valve body 40, the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402, which are molded separately, have a smaller volume and can be processed and molded using small-volume raw materials, allowing for greater selectivity in raw materials, reducing material waste, and contributing to cost reduction. The material of the first valve body 401 includes a metal material, and the density of the second valve body 402 is smaller than that of the first valve body 401, which can reduce the weight of the motor-operated valve 1, and the lightweight valve body 40 can reduce transportation costs to a certain extent. Specifically, the material of the second valve body 402 may be metal or plastic. In this embodiment, the second valve body 402 includes plastic and is injection molded, which significantly reduces material waste, improves material utilization, and contributes to cost reduction while ensuring the effectiveness of use. Preferably, the material of the second valve body includes PPS, PA66, and the like.
[0012] The axial direction of the stator unit 20 is defined as a reference direction, the valve member 21 is drilled in the first valve body 401 along the reference direction, the second valve body 402 is farther from the valve member 21 than the first valve body 401, and a part of the first sensing device 50 is located in the second valve body 402. In one embodiment, the axial direction of the first sensing device 50 is at an angle with the reference direction, so that the assembly direction of the first valve body 401 and the assembly direction of the second valve body 402 are different. When assembling, the first sensing device 50 is first attached to the second valve body 402, and then the first valve body 401, the second valve body 402, and the control unit 1a are assembled in that order, eliminating the need to attach the first sensing device 50 to the valve body 40 from the electrical control side, simplifying the assembly process, and in this embodiment, the axial direction of the first sensing device 50 is perpendicular to the reference direction. In another embodiment, the axial direction of the first sensing device 50 is parallel to the reference direction, i.e., the mounting direction of the first sensing device 50 is parallel to the mounting direction of the stator unit 20, and this design allows the height of the device in one direction to be reduced to adapt to the needs of different environments.
[0013] The valve member 21 includes a valve body 202 and a rotor unit 203 , and the valve member 21 has a valve port 211 located in a second passage 214 , and the valve body 202 can move and adjust the opening degree of the valve port 211 . The first valve body 401 includes a third opening 4011 , the opening of which faces away from the second valve body 402 , and a portion of the valve member 21 is located in the third opening 4011 .
[0014] The control unit 1 a includes an electric control unit 30 and a housing 10 , the housing 10 having a first chamber 15 in which the electric control unit 30 is located.
[0015] The connection method of the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 includes fixed connection, position-limited connection, or abutment. The first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 may be connected separately, or the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 may be connected and then connected to the housing 10 at the same time, which can contribute to improving the stability of the installation of the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402. Here, several mounting methods are listed. One connection method is a method in which one side of the first valve body 401 abuts against the housing 10, the other side abuts against the second valve body 402, the second valve body 402 is fixed to the housing 10, and the first valve body 401 is abutted by the second valve body 402 and the housing 10 to restrict its position. Another connection method is a method in which the first valve body 401 is fixed to the housing 10, the second valve body 402 is fixed to the housing 10, and the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 abut against each other. Yet another connection method is that the first valve body 401 is fixed to the housing 10, the second valve body 402 is fixed to the housing 10, and the first valve body 401 is fixed to the second valve body 402. Of course, the actual installation includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned connection methods, as long as it is necessary to achieve a fixing effect.
[0016] Of course, the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 may be unconnected and not abutting, and one embodiment includes the first valve body 401 being fixed to the housing 10 and the second valve body 402 being fixed to the housing 10, but with a gap between the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402. When the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 are bonded together, there is still a small gap between them from a microscopic perspective, and external corrosive substances are likely to remain in the small gap, causing corrosion. If the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 are not bonded together, the gap between them is large, and the probability of corrosive substances accumulating is greatly reduced. Therefore, the lack of contact between the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 can reduce the probability of corrosion. Here, a portion of the valve member 21 is drilled into the first valve body 401 along the reference direction, and the first valve body 401 is pressed by the housing 10 and the second valve body 402 on both sides of the reference direction, respectively, to restrict its position, making it less likely to shift out of position. The above-mentioned fastening is a removable fastening connection method, such as a bolt connection, etc. In this embodiment, the first valve body 401 is fixed to the housing 10, and the second valve body 402 is fixed to the housing 10. Please note that in practice, this connection method includes, but is not limited to, this.
[0017] Referring to Figures 2, 4 and 5, the electric valve 1 includes a first bolt 4023 and a second bolt 4024, and the axial direction of the first sensing device 50 is defined as a first direction, which is perpendicular to the reference direction. The first bolt 4023 is arranged along a first direction, and a portion of it is located in a first hole (not shown) of the housing 10. After passing through the housing 10, the first bolt 4023 has an end that is threadedly connected to the second valve body 402 and is used to fix the second valve body 402 to the housing 10, and the first direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the stator unit 20. The third bolt 4025 is arranged along the reference direction or the first direction, and a portion of it is located in a second hole (not shown) of the housing 10. After passing through the housing 10, the third bolt 4025 has its end threadedly connected to the first valve body 401 and is used to fix the first valve body 401 to the housing 10. In other embodiments, the first bolt 4023, the second bolt 4024 and the third bolt 4025 may be other parts that can achieve a fixing effect, and the actual use includes but is not limited to the above structures.
[0018] All of the above connection methods can achieve the effect of detachability, allowing the internal parts to be inspected and replaced, contributing to extending the service life of the motor-operated valve 1. Actual use includes, but is not limited to, the above connection methods. In this embodiment, only the fixing method in which the third bolt 4025 connects the housing 10 and the first valve body 401 along the reference direction is shown.
[0019] At least one side of each of the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 is abutted against the housing 10 and fixed thereto. The valve body 40 has a lightening groove 407, and in this embodiment, the lightening groove 407 is located along the first direction on the side of the first valve body 401 that abuts against the housing 10, and a direction that is perpendicular to the reference direction and perpendicular to the first direction is defined as a second direction, and the lightening groove 407 is provided to penetrate along the second direction. By providing the lightening groove 407, the protruding portion of the housing 10 toward the first valve body 401 can be retracted, which contributes to reducing the weight of the electric valve 1. Meanwhile, the housing 10 here is formed by integral injection molding using injection molding material, so there is a certain amount of deformation after cooling and molding, which reduces the contact area between the first valve body 401 and the housing 10 and ensures more sufficient contact between the valve body 40 and the housing 10. All of the above connection methods can achieve the effect of detachability, allowing the internal parts to be inspected and replaced, contributing to extending the service life of the motor-operated valve 1. Actual use includes, but is not limited to, the above connection methods.
[0020] 5, 6, 7 and 8, the first valve body 401 includes a first convex portion 403, the first convex portion 403 including a first top wall 403a, the first convex portion 403 being protruded toward the second valve body 402 side from other portions of the first valve body 401, the first top wall 403a being located on the protruding side, the first valve body 401 having a first recess 4031 formed relative to the first convex portion 403, the first recess 4031 including a first bottom wall 4031b. The second valve body 402 includes a second convex portion 404, which includes a second top wall 404a, which is protruded toward the first valve body 401 side from other parts of the second valve body 402, and the second top wall 404a is located on the protruding side, and the second valve body 402 has a second recess 4041 formed in relation to the second convex portion 404, and the second recess 4041 includes a second bottom wall 4041b.
[0021] At least a portion of the first convex portion 403 is located in the second recess 4041, the first top wall 403a and the second bottom wall 4041b abut against each other, at least a portion of the second convex portion 404 is located in the first recess 4031, the second top wall 404a and the first bottom wall 4031b abut against each other, both the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404 include an abutment portion 406, and the abutment portions 406 of both abut against each other. In this embodiment, the contact portion 406 of the first valve body 401 includes at least the first top wall 403 a , the first bottom wall 4031 b , and the wall of the first convex portion 403 facing the second convex portion 404 . The contact portion 406 of the second valve body 402 includes at least the second top wall 404 a , the second bottom wall 4041 b , and the wall of the second protrusion 404 on the side facing the first protrusion 403 .
[0022] The two opposing walls of the first protrusion 403 and the second protrusion 404 can restrict the position of the first protrusion 403 along the second direction. The abutment portions 406 of the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404 abut against each other, which has the effect of restricting their relative positions along the second direction.Next, compared to the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 abutting on only one plane, by providing the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404, the flatness requirements for the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 can be reduced, and the difficulty of processing can be reduced.
[0023] 6, 7 and 8, the motor-operated valve 1 includes a position limiting component 408 and a position limiting groove 409, the position limiting component 408 and the position limiting groove 409 being located on opposite sides of the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404, at least a portion of the position limiting component 408 being located in the position limiting groove 409, and the position limiting component 408 being able to relatively limit the positions of the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404 along the reference direction. When the position limiting groove 409 is located on the first convex portion 403, the position limiting component 408 is fixedly connected to the second convex portion 404 or is connected to the second convex portion 404 so as to limit the position or is an integral structure; when the position limiting groove 409 is located on the second convex portion 404, the position limiting component 408 is fixedly connected to the first convex portion 403 or is connected to the first convex portion 403 so as to limit the position or is an integral structure; providing the position limiting component 408 can reduce the probability that the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404 will sway in the reference direction. In this embodiment, the position limiting component 408 is a key integrally formed with the first protrusion 403 or the second protrusion 404, and in other embodiments, the above-mentioned connection structure is included, but is not limited to this.
[0024] Both the first protrusion 403 and the second protrusion 404 have connection holes 405, which are provided so as to penetrate through the protrusions. The motor-operated valve 1 includes a second bolt 4024 for fixing the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 relative to each other or for fixing the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 to another device. The second bolt 4024 is drilled in the connection hole 405 of the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404 along the second direction, and is loosely fitted into at least a portion of the wall of the connection hole 405 of the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404. In this embodiment, the second bolt 4024 includes a bolt, two of which are spaced apart along the first direction and pass through the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404 along the second direction, and the end of the bolt has a threaded portion that passes through the first valve body 401 or the second valve body 402, allowing the entire electric valve 1 to be conveniently fixed to the required components. The provision of the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404 has the effect of conveniently connecting and fixing, and next, the fact that one of the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404 presses the other can contribute to increasing the connection strength.
[0025] When mounting, one side of the first valve body 401 is attached to the housing 10, the first valve body 401 moves along the axial direction of the valve member 21, causing part of the valve member 21 to enter the first valve body 401, and the third bolt 4025 fixes the relative positions of the first valve body 401 and the valve member 21. Then, the first sensing device 50 is installed in the second valve body 402 along the first direction, the second valve body 402 abuts and engages with the housing 10 in the first direction, ensuring that a part of the first sensing device 50 is inserted into the housing 10 and electrically connected to the electrical control unit 30, the second valve body 402 and the first valve body 401 engage and abut with each other, simplifying the difficulty of installing each component, and the first bolt 4023 fixes the relative positions of the second valve body 402 and the housing 10. Here, the positions of the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 may be connected via a second bolt 4024 instead of the first bolt 4023 . In this case, the relative positions of the three components, the first valve body 401, the second valve body 402, and the housing 10, are already fixed, and the second bolt 4024 passes through the first convex portion 403 and the second convex portion 404, thereby allowing the entire electric valve 1 to be fixed to other components.
[0026] In order to mount the first sensing device 50, the valve body 40 includes a first opening 42 and a communicating passage (not shown), the first opening 42 has a mounting chamber 423, the first opening 42 has a first opening 421 and a second opening 422 arranged opposite each other, these first opening 421 and second opening 422 being located on both sides of the mounting chamber 423, the first opening 421 being connected to the mounting chamber 423, the second opening 422 being connected to the mounting chamber 423, the first opening 421 facing the electrical control unit 30, the first sensing device 50 being able to be installed from the first opening 421 side, and a portion of the first sensing device 50 being located in the mounting chamber 423.

[0027] Referring to Figures 3, 9 and 11, specifically, the valve body 40 includes a first stage portion 4021 and a second stage portion 4022, and along the axial direction of the first sensing device 50, the first stage portion 4021 is closer to the first passage 41 than the second stage portion 4022, and the wall forming the first opening 42 includes at least a portion of the wall of the first stage portion 4021 and at least a portion of the wall of the second stage portion 4022. The electric valve 11 includes a second sealing part 52, one side of which is abutted against the wall of the first opening 42 and the other side of which is abutted against the wall of the first sensing device 50, and which is used to seal the gap between the first opening 42 and the first sensing device 50, thereby reducing the risk of the working medium leaking from the gap.
[0028] The motor-operated valve 1 includes a second groove portion 54 and a second wall 56 , the second groove portion 54 has a second groove 541 , and at least a portion of the second sealing component 52 is located in the second groove 541 .

When the second groove portion 54 is located in the first sensing device 50, the second groove portion 54 is recessed in an annular shape relative to the first sensing device 50, and when the second groove portion 54 is located in the second valve body 402, the second groove portion 54 is recessed in an annular shape relative to the second valve body 402. A second groove portion 54 is provided in the first sensing device 50 or the second valve body 402, and a part of the second sealing part 52 is located in the second groove portion 54, which contributes to mounting the second sealing part 52 in advance before mounting the remaining parts, thereby improving the convenience of mounting.
[0029] 9, 11 and 12, the first sensing device 50 includes a boss 57, which is provided to protrude along the radial direction of the first sensing device 50, and along the axial direction of the first sensing device 50, the boss 57 may be annular or non-annular, and the boss 57 may be regular or irregular in shape.

The electric valve 1 includes a fixing part 58, which limits the position of the first sensing device 50 along the axial direction of the first sensing device 50 and allows at least a portion of the boss 57 to abut against the wall of the first opening 42, thereby preventing the first sensing device 50 from slipping out. In this embodiment, the fixing part 58 is a bolt, which is drilled into the boss 57 along the second direction, and the end of the bolt includes a threaded segment, which is threadedly connected to the second valve body 402, thereby pressing the first sensing device 50 against the second stage surface 4022a, and at least two bolts are provided. In other embodiments, the fixing part 58 may be a nut, and when the fixing part 58 is a nut, the threaded segment of the nut is located on its outer wall, and the nut is threadedly connected to the wall of the first opening 42, thereby pressing the first sensing device 50 against the second stage surface 4022a. The device can realize quick removal and installation, simplifying the installation steps and improving the convenience of installation and removal.
