AI Technical Summary
Existing motor-operated valves lack a reliable mechanism to prevent the valve member from rotating circumferentially relative to the mounting block or valve body, complicating installation and reducing the reliability of the assembly.
The valve device incorporates a valve seat member with a flange portion and a mounting block, where the flange portion restricts separation and a pad is tightly fitted between the valve seat member and the mounting block to prevent circumferential rotation, while a bolt unit secures the assembly to the valve body.
This arrangement stabilizes the valve member's position, facilitating easy installation and enhancing the reliability of the valve device by preventing unwanted rotation, thus improving installation efficiency and component alignment.

[0009] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific examples.
[0010] 1 to 8 and 22 are combined to show an embodiment of a valve device 100, which can be attached to other components, and the other components include a valve body 101, a heat exchange core, etc., and the valve device 100 includes a coil unit 1 and a valve member 2. The coil unit 1 includes a stator unit 11 and an injection-molded part 12, and the injection-molded part 12 covers at least a part of the stator unit 11, and the coil unit 1 has a housing chamber 13 with an open lower end. The valve member 2 includes a valve seat member 21, a rotor member 22, a valve body member 23, a nut unit 24, and a sleeve 25, at least a portion of the sleeve 25 is located in the accommodating chamber 13, the sleeve 25 includes a sleeve top portion 251 and a lower end opening 252, the lower end opening 252 of the sleeve 25 is welded and fixed to the valve seat member 21, the stator unit 11 is located outside the sleeve 25, and the rotor member 22 is located inside the sleeve 25, by passing a predetermined current through the stator unit 11, an excitation magnetic field is generated to rotate the rotor member 22, the valve body member 23 is connected to the rotor member 22, the rotor member 22 rotates the valve body member 23, the valve body member 23 is threadedly engaged with the nut unit 24, and the rotation of the rotor member 22 is converted into axial movement of the valve body member 23 relative to the valve seat member 21.
[0011] 3 and 8 , the valve seat member 21 includes a valve seat portion 211 and a valve socket portion 212, which are molded separately and then fixedly connected, and the fixed connection method includes welding, crimping, etc. In other embodiments, 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 amount of flow passing through the valve port 2121.
[0012] 3 and 8, the valve seat portion 211 includes a valve seat cover 2111 and a flange portion 2112, the outer diameter of the flange portion 2112 is larger than the outer diameter of the valve seat cover 2111, and the lower end opening 252 of the sleeve 25 and the valve seat cover 2111 are fixed by welding to form a first weld seam 2113.
[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 components, such as the valve body 101 and the heat exchange core, the mounting block 3 has a mounting hole 31, a portion of the valve seat member 21 is located in the mounting hole 31, the diameter of at least a portion of the mounting hole 31 is smaller than the outer diameter of the flange portion 2112, and the flange portion 2112 restricts the mounting block 3 from separating from 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 portion of which is located between the valve seat member 21 and the inner circumferential wall that forms 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, the circumferential rotation and axial movement of the valve seat member 21 or the valve member 2 relative to the mounting block 3 is restricted, and by assembling the valve device 100 as an independent whole, the valve device 100 can be easily transported, and the valve device 100 as a whole is fixedly connected to other components such as the valve body 101 and heat exchange core, improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, after installation, 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, 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 inserted 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 the outer surface contacts the inner wall forming the mounting hole 31. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting hole 31 has different axial diameters, which are, from top to bottom, a medium diameter, a small diameter, and a large diameter. The mounting hole wall 311 defining the mounting hole 31 includes a first side wall 3111, a second side wall, and a third side wall, with the medium diameter corresponding to the first side wall 3111, the small diameter corresponding to the second side wall 3112, and the large diameter corresponding to the third side wall 3113. The second pad portion 42 is tightly fitted between the first side wall 3111 and the valve seat cover 2111, with the outer circumferential surface of the second pad portion 42 contacting the first side wall 3111 and the inner circumferential surface of the second pad portion 42 contacting the outer circumferential surface of the valve seat cover 2111, thereby restricting circumferential rotation of the valve member 2 relative to the mounting block 3. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting hole 31 does not need to have a small hole diameter, but the small hole diameter can be 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 being the upper end surface of the mounting block 3, and the second surface 33 being the lower end surface of the mounting block 3, and the lower end surface of the part of the first pad portion 41 that protrudes from the second pad portion 42 abuts against the first surface 32 of the mounting block 3, limiting the relative position between the pad 4 and the mounting block 3 and preventing excessive press-fitting 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 diameter of the side wall forming the recess 34 is larger than the minimum diameter of the mounting hole 31. In this embodiment, the third side wall 3113 forms the side wall of the recess 34, at least a portion of the flange portion 2112 is located in the recess 34, and the upper wall forming the recess 34 abuts against the upper end surface of the flange portion 2112. The flange portion 2112 restricts the mounting block 3 from separating from the valve seat member 21 in the direction away from the coil unit 1, and further restricts the mounting block 3 from separating from the valve member 2 in the direction away from the coil unit 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the third side wall 3113, i.e., the recess 34, may be omitted, and the lower end surface of the mounting block 3 may be flat and abut against the upper end surface of the flange portion 2112. The recess 34 ensures the connection strength of the mounting block 3, but the height of the mounting block 3 or the height of the valve seat member 21 can be reduced to save material.
[0016] 3 to 12 , in this embodiment, the valve device 100 further includes a first sealing ring 51, and the top part of the pad 4 supports the first sealing ring 51. The coil unit 1 further includes an injection-molded part 12 covering at least a part of the stator unit 11. The coil unit 1 has an accommodating chamber 13 with an open lower end, and the lower end of the injection-molded part 12 has an annular groove 121. The annular groove 121 has an annular groove. At least a part of the first sealing ring 51 is located in the annular groove, and the annular groove opens toward the sleeve 25. The first sealing ring 51 is clamped between the inner wall of the annular groove 121 and the sleeve 25, i.e., between the inner wall of the annular groove 121 and the outer wall of the sleeve 25, thereby reducing the amount of water, gas or other medium that enters the gap between the coil unit 1 and the sleeve 25, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion of components on the coil unit 1 and extending the service life of the valve device 100.
[0017] 3 to 12 , in this embodiment, the pad 4 covers the welded portion between the sleeve 25 and the valve seat cover 2111. Specifically, the second pad portion 42 of the pad 4 covers the first weld seam 2113 formed by welding the lower end opening 252 of the sleeve 25 to the valve seat cover 2111. The lowermost end of the pad 4 is located below the first weld seam 2113, and the uppermost end is located above the first weld seam 2113. At least a part of the inner surface of the second pad portion 42 abuts against the outer surface of the valve seat cover 2111. This arrangement reduces contact between the first weld seam 2113 and the outside, thereby protecting the first weld seam 2113 and reducing the risk of the weld seam rusting. Furthermore, it reduces the amount of water, gas or other mediums that enter the gap between the coil unit 1 and the sleeve 25.
[0018] 3 to 12 , in this embodiment, the valve device 100 further includes a connecting member 6, which includes a main body plate portion 61 and a side plate portion 62, the main body plate portion 61 and the side plate portion 62 being integral with each other, the side plate portion 62 being folded back from the main body plate portion 61 in a direction away from the coil unit 1, and the main body plate portion 61 being fixedly connected to the coil unit 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the main body plate portion 61 is in the shape of a substantially annular plate, the lower end of the injection-molded portion 12 is provided with several pillars 122, the main body plate portion 61 is provided with several first through holes, the positions of the pillars 122 and the positions of the first through holes are arranged corresponding to each other, the pillars 122 pass through the first through holes, and the portions of the pillars 122 that pass through the first through holes are welded to fix the main body plate portion 61 to the injection-molded portion 12. In this embodiment, only half of the columns 122 are welded, although of course in other embodiments, all or a predetermined number of the columns 122 may be welded.
[0019] 3 to 12 , in this embodiment, the side plate portion 62 of the connecting member 6 has a first communicating hole 621, the mounting block 3 has a first screw hole 312, and the valve device 100 further has a first bolt unit 103 that passes through the first communicating hole 621 and is screwed into the first screw hole 312 on the mounting block 3 to fixedly connect the connecting member 6 to the mounting block 3. In other embodiments, the connecting member 6 and the mounting block 3 may be fixedly connected by engagement, welding, adhesive bonding, etc. The upper end surface of the mounting block 3, i.e., the first surface 32, has a relief groove 35 that is positioned corresponding to the position of the post 122, with a portion of the post 122 accommodated in the relief groove 35, preventing the mounting block 3 from interfering with the post 122 and reducing the weight of the mounting block 3.
[0020] 13 to 16, in the second example of the valve device 100, the pad 4 of this example includes a first pad portion 41 and a second pad portion 42, similar to the first embodiment of the valve device 100, but the outer diameter of the first pad portion 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the second pad portion 42, with the difference being that the outer periphery of the second pad portion 42 is provided with a first protrusion 421 provided along the axial direction of the valve member 2, and the peripheral side wall forming the mounting hole 31 is provided with a second protrusion 421 provided along the axial direction of the valve member 2.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first strip groove 313 is formed in the first side wall 3111, the first protrusion 421 is shaped to match the inner circumferential wall forming the first strip groove 313, and the first protrusion 421 is tightly fitted into the inner circumferential wall forming the first strip groove 313, and the inner circumferential surface of the pad 4 is tightly fitted into the outer circumferential surface of the valve seat cover 2111, thereby restricting the circumferential rotation of the valve seat member 21 relative to the mounting block 3. Of course, in other embodiments, the first protrusion 421 may have the shape of a columnar protrusion or a conical protrusion. Other aspects are basically the same as those of the first embodiment of the valve gear 100, and therefore will not be described here.
[0021] In one variation of the second embodiment, the inner peripheral surface of the pad 4 has a second ridge extending along the axial direction of the valve member 2, and the valve seat cover 2111 has a second strip groove extending along the axial direction of the valve member 2, and the second ridge is tightly fitted into the inner peripheral wall forming the second strip groove, which can similarly restrict the circumferential rotation of the valve seat member 21 relative to the mounting block 3.

The other parts are basically the same as those of the first embodiment of the valve device 100, and therefore will not be described here in detail.
[0023] In one variation of the third embodiment, the inner surface of the pad 4 has a fourth strip groove arranged along the axial direction of the valve member 2, and the valve seat cover 2111 has a fourth ridge arranged along the axial direction of the valve member 2, and the fourth ridge is tightly fitted into the inner wall forming the fourth strip groove, which can similarly limit the circumferential rotation of the valve seat member 21 relative to the mounting block 3.
[0024] 17 to 19 , in a fourth embodiment of the valve device 100, compared to the above-mentioned valve device 100, the pad 4 of this embodiment includes a large-diameter cylindrical portion 45 and a small-diameter cylindrical portion 44, the small-diameter cylindrical portion 44 is relatively close to the coil unit 1, and a bent portion 46 is provided between the large-diameter cylindrical portion 45 and the small-diameter cylindrical portion 44, the lower end surface of the bent portion 46 abuts against the upper end surface of the flange portion 2112, the mounting block 3 abuts against the upper end surface of the bent portion 46, at least a portion of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 44 is press-fitted between the valve seat cover 2111 and the inner circumferential wall that forms the mounting hole 31 by being tight-fitted, and at least a portion of the large-diameter cylindrical portion 45 is press-fitted between the outer circumferential surface of the flange portion 2112 and the inner circumferential wall that forms the mounting hole 31 by being tight-fitted, and this arrangement limits the circumferential rotation and axial movement of the valve seat member 21 relative to the mounting block 3.

The other parts are basically the same as those in the first embodiment of the valve gear 100, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0025] In the embodiment of the valve device 100, the connection between the pad 4 and the mounting block 3, or between the pad 4 and the valve member 2, may be further bonded with adhesive or welded to further improve the reliability of the connection, or the mounting block 3 and the valve seat portion 211 may be further bonded with adhesive, which similarly improves the reliability of the connection.
