DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] Hereinafter, the technical aspects of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. However, it is clear that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. The description of at least one exemplary embodiment below is merely explanatory in nature and does not impose any restrictions on the present application and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that can be obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present application includes a valve seat member 10 having a large valve port 11, and a spindle member 20 provided in a chamber of the valve seat member 10, the spindle member 20 including a large spindle portion 21, a small spindle 22, and a drive assembly 23, the large spindle portion 21 having a small valve port 211, the small valve port 211 having a flow control surface, one end of the larger opening of the small valve port 211 being separated from the large valve port 11, and the drive assembly 23, the small spindle 22, and the large spindle portion 21 and a spindle member 20 which is also drivingly connected to the small valve port 211, and which has a closed state, a flow rate adjusting state and a fully open state, wherein in the closed state, the small spindle 22 is inserted into the small valve port 211 to seal the small valve port 211 and the large spindle portion 21 seals the large valve port 11, while in the flow rate adjusting state, the large spindle portion 21 seals the large valve port 11, and the small spindle 22 is axially movable to adjust the opening degree of the small valve port 211, and in the fully open state, the large spindle portion 21 avoids the large valve port 11.

[0022] When this embodiment is adopted, the small spindle 22 is inserted into the small valve port 211 to seal it, the large spindle part 21 seals the large valve port 11, and the drive assembly 23 is drivingly connected to the small spindle 22 and the large spindle part 21. The axial movement of the small spindle 22 adjusts the opening of the small valve port 211 to achieve small flow rate adjustment. The large spindle part 21 seals or bypasses the large valve port 11 to enable or disable large flow rate conduction. Here, when the electronic expansion valve is in a closed state, the small spindle 22 seals the small valve port 211, and the large spindle part 21 seals the large valve port 11. When the electronic expansion valve is in a flow rate adjustment state, the drive assembly 23 drives the small spindle 22 to move axially to adjust the opening of the small valve port 211, and the large spindle part 21 seals the large valve port 11 to achieve small flow rate adjustment. When the electronic expansion valve is in the fully open state, the drive assembly 23 drives the small spindle 22 to move it until it completely clears the small valve port 211, and then the small spindle 22 moves the large spindle portion 21 in the axial direction in conjunction with the small spindle 22 until the large spindle portion 21 completely clears the large valve port 11, thereby achieving the fully open state. This electronic expansion valve may be mounted on a mounting base or within a valve body.

[0023] Specifically, by making the flow rate adjusting surface of the small valve port 211 tapered and by aligning the larger end of the opening of the small valve port 211 toward the small spindle 22, the engagement between the small spindle 22 and the small valve port 211 can more accurately adjust the flow rate and meet usage requirements.In addition, by providing a flow rate adjusting inclined surface on the small valve port 211, the difficulty of processing the small spindle 22 is reduced.

[0024] Here, the outer diameter of the small spindle 22 is larger than the minimum diameter of the small valve orifice 211, and the flow area of ​​the large valve orifice 11 is larger than the flow area of ​​the small valve orifice 211. The opening degree of the small valve orifice 211 means the degree to which the small valve orifice 211 is open, or may be understood as the size of the flow area of ​​the small valve orifice 211. The valve seat member has a communication hole, and in the closed state, the communication hole does not communicate with either the large valve orifice 11 or the small valve orifice 211, but in the flow rate adjusting state, the communication hole communicates with the large valve orifice 11 via the small valve orifice 211, and in the fully open state, the communication hole communicates directly with the large valve orifice 11.

[0025] Furthermore, the end face of the large valve port 11 is a sealing plane 111, and in the closed state, one end of the large spindle portion 21 abuts against the sealing plane 111. By providing the end face of the large valve port 11 as the sealing plane 111, it becomes easier for one end of the large spindle portion 21 to abut against the sealing plane 111 when the electronic expansion valve is in the closed state. Compared to the inclined surface sealing method, this sealing method makes it easier to determine and control the sealing point. Therefore, when an equalizing passage connecting the upper and lower ends of the large spindle portion 21 is provided, the sealing point can be controlled to make the pressure areas of the upper and lower ends of the large spindle portion 21 closer to each other, thereby achieving pressure equalization at the upper and lower ends.

[0026] Specifically, the large spindle part 21 has a restricting chamber 212 and a guide hole 213 which are connected to each other, the restricting chamber 212, the guide hole 213 and the small valve port 211 being arranged in that order, the small spindle 22 includes a restricting rod 221 and a sealing rod 222 which are connected to each other, the restricting rod 221 is axially movably installed in the restricting chamber 212, the sealing rod 222 passes through the guide hole 213 and the driving assembly 23 is drivingly connected to the restricting rod 221. By adopting the above installation method, the driving assembly 23 moves the restricting rod 221 in the axial direction in conjunction with each other, and the restricting rod 221 moves the sealing rod 222 in the axial direction in conjunction with each other, i.e. the sealing rod 222 adjusts the opening degree of the small valve port 211, and further realizes the function of adjusting a small flow rate.

[0027] Here, in the axial direction of the spindle member 20, the limiting chamber 212 has opposing first and second stop surfaces 2121 and 2122. One side of the limiting rod 221 is stop-engaged with the first stop surface 2121. The small spindle 22 further includes a stop shoulder 223 on the side wall of the limiting rod 221, which is stop-engaged with the second stop surface 2122. The provision of the first stop surface 2121 can provide a limiting effect when the limiting rod 221 moves toward the minor valve orifice 211. The provision of the stop shoulder 223 and the second stop surface 2122 for stop-engagement can provide a limiting effect when the limiting rod 221 moves away from the minor valve orifice 211. This limits the movement range of the limiting rod 221.

[0028] Furthermore, the spindle member 20 further includes a first elastic member 12, both ends of which abut against the first stop surface 2121 and the stop shoulder 223, respectively. By arranging both ends of the first elastic member 12 to abut against the first stop surface 2121 and the stop shoulder 223, respectively, when the electronic expansion valve is in a closed state, the first elastic member 12 is in a compressed state, and when the drive assembly 23 moves the limiting rod 221 in conjunction with the stop rod 221 away from the small valve port 211, i.e., in a flow rate adjusting state, the elastic force of the first elastic member 12 is released, and the stop shoulder 223 moves in conjunction with the stop rod 221 away from the small valve port 211, thereby opening the small valve port 211.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the limiting rod 221 is larger than that of the sealing rod 222, the first elastic member 12 is a spring fitted to the limiting rod 221, and the stop shoulder 223 has a ring structure. By making the outer diameter of the limiting rod 221 larger than that of the sealing rod 222, the limiting rod 221 can perform a limiting function. By using the first elastic member 12 as a spring fitted to the limiting rod 221, strength is high and costs are low. By using the stop shoulder 223 as a ring structure, it is easy to engage with the spring.

[0030] Specifically, the drive assembly 23 includes a screw assembly 42, which includes a screw 231 and a connecting sleeve 232, one end of the connecting sleeve 232 is connected to the small spindle 22, the screw 231 and the connecting sleeve 232 are limitedly engaged in the axial direction, the screw 231 is axially movable, the screw 231 can independently move the small spindle 22 in conjunction with the small spindle 22 within a predetermined stroke, and the screw 231 can move the spindle 21 in conjunction with the small spindle 22. With the above installation method, the screw 231 and the connecting sleeve 232 are limitedly engaged in the axial direction, and one end of the connecting sleeve 232 is connected to the small spindle 22, so that when the screw 231 moves in the axial direction, the connecting sleeve 232 can move in conjunction with the small spindle 22, and further the connecting sleeve 232 can move the small spindle 22 in conjunction with the small spindle 22.

[0031] Here, the large spindle part 21 has an escape hole, the connecting sleeve 232 passes through the escape hole, and the end of the small spindle 22 remote from the small valve port 211 penetrates into the connecting sleeve 232 and is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 232. The provision of the escape hole makes it easy to fix the end of the small spindle 22 remote from the small valve port 211 to the connecting sleeve 232, and the fixed connection is made by welding, which is reliable and stable.

[0032] 2, the drive assembly 23 further includes a bearing 233, a bushing 234, and a second elastic member 235 arranged in the connecting sleeve 232, the bearing 233 being fitted onto one end of the screw 231, one side of the bearing 233 being axially limitedly engaged with the connecting sleeve 232, and the other side of the bearing 233 being successively abutted against the bushing 234, the second elastic member 235, and the small spindle 22. Fitting the bearing 233 onto one end of the screw 231 and axially limitedly engaging one side of the bearing 233 with the connecting sleeve 232 not only limits the bearing 233, but also prevents the connecting sleeve 232 from rotating when the screw 231 rotates, further preventing the small spindle 22 from rotating. The other side of the bearing 233, the bushing 234, the second elastic member 235, and the small spindle 22 are in contact with each other in this order. The bushing 234 not only prevents the second elastic member 235 from directly contacting the bearing 233, but also acts as a guide. The second elastic member 235 is compressed when the electronic expansion valve is closed. When the screw 231 moves away from the small valve port 211 (i.e., in the flow rate control state), the elastic force of the second elastic member 235 is released, causing the bushing 234 to move away from the small valve port 211. This allows for precise control of the opening of the small valve port 211 and improves the accuracy of the small flow rate control. The second elastic member 235 may be a spring.

[0033] Specifically, the valve seat member 10 has a communication hole 13, and the large spindle portion 21 has a side opening 214, which is located on one side of the small valve orifice 211, away from the large valve orifice 11, and in the flow rate control state, the communication hole 13, the side opening 214, the small valve orifice 211, and the large valve orifice 11 are sequentially communicated with each other. By providing the communication hole 13 and the side opening 214, in the flow rate control state, the communication hole 13, the side opening 214, the small valve orifice 211, and the large valve orifice 11 can be sequentially communicated with each other.

[0034] Alternatively, the large spindle 21 may include a main body, a small valve seat, and a restricting structure, the small valve seat being disposed within the chamber of the main body and having a small valve port 211 with a flow control surface provided thereon, the small spindle 22 being movably disposed within the main body, the small spindle 22 and the small valve seat being engaged to adjust the opening of the small valve port 211, and the restricting structure being restrictively engaged with one side of the small valve seat away from the small spindle 22. The provision of the small valve seat is advantageous for more accurately processing the flow control surface. More preferably, the small valve seat may employ a gasket to form a soft seal.

[0035] The valve seat member 10 further includes a valve seat body 14, a large gasket 15, a first outer sealing ring 16, and a second outer sealing ring 17. The large gasket 15 is located within the chamber of the valve seat body 14, and has a large valve port 11. The valve seat body 14 has a flow hole 13. The first outer sealing ring 16 and the second outer sealing ring 17 are fitted to the outer wall of the valve seat body 14, and the flow hole 13 is located between the first outer sealing ring 16 and the second outer sealing ring 17. By positioning the large gasket 15 within the chamber of the valve seat body 14 and the large valve port 11 within the large gasket 15, a better sealing effect is achieved when the large valve port 11 is closed, preventing fluid leakage. The first outer sealing ring 16 and the second outer sealing ring 17 facilitate a sealed connection between the valve seat member 10 of the electronic expansion valve and the external engagement structure, preventing leakage from the flow hole 13.

[0036] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the sealing rod 222 is cylindrical and is used to engage with the inner wall of the small valve orifice 211 to adjust the opening degree of the small valve orifice 211. Here, one end of the sealing rod 222 facing the small valve orifice 211 has a fillet 2221. When the sealing rod 222 seals the small valve orifice 211, the abutment position between the sealing rod 222 and the inner wall of the small valve orifice 211 forms an annular sealing line, and the sealing line is located at the fillet 2221.

[0037] When this embodiment is adopted, the sealing rod 222 is cylindrical and has a fillet 2221 at one end of the sealing rod 222 facing the small valve orifice 211. When the sealing rod 222 seals the small valve orifice 211, the abutment position between the sealing rod 222 and the inner wall of the small valve orifice 211 forms an annular sealing line. By arranging the sealing line to be located at the fillet 2221, when the sealing rod 222 seals the small valve orifice 211 and the small valve orifice 211 is inhaled, the direction of the force received by the sealing rod 222 is The force is directed away from the small valve port 211, and the magnitude of the force received is the product of the pressure intensity at the inlet port and the area difference between the outer diameter of the sealing rod 222 and the diameter of the sealing line. Compared with the prior art, in this embodiment the sealing rod 222 is cylindrical, and the sealing line is located at the fillet of the sealing rod 222, that is, the area difference between the outer diameter of the sealing rod 222 and the diameter of the sealing line is minimized so as to minimize the force received by the sealing rod 222, thereby optimizing the problem of poor closing of the electronic expansion valve. This electronic expansion valve may be mounted on a mounting base or within a valve body.

[0038] Here, the radius of the fillet 2221 is R, and R≦1 mm. By limiting the radius R of the fillet 2221 within the above range, not only is it easier to seal the small valve port 211, but the force applied to the sealing rod 222 can be minimized, and the area difference between the outer diameter of the sealing rod 222 and the diameter of the sealing line can be minimized, thereby optimizing the problem of poor valve closure of the electronic expansion valve. As shown in Figure 7, the area of ​​the area surrounded by the outer diameter of the sealing rod 222 is S5, and the area of ​​the area surrounded by the sealing line is S6, and the sealing line is located within the fillet 2221.

[0039] 5, the spindle member 20 further includes a sealing ring 24, which is disposed within the large spindle portion 21, and a sealing rod 222 passes through the sealing ring 24. The sealing ring 24 is disposed within the large spindle portion 21, and the sealing rod 222 passes through the sealing ring 24, thereby providing a seal for the sealing rod 222 and preventing fluid leakage.

[0040] Specifically, the large spindle part 21 includes a large spindle 215 and a small gasket 216 provided within the large spindle 215. The small gasket 216 has a small valve port 211 and is made of a soft material. The small gasket 216 is provided within the large spindle 215 to provide a seal for the small valve port 211 and prevent fluid leakage. Furthermore, if the small gasket 216 is made of a soft material, the sealing effect can be improved; specifically, the small gasket 216 may be made of plastic or rubber.

[0041] 8 to 13, the electronic expansion valve further includes a valve sleeve 30 connected to the valve seat member 10, a drive assembly 23 provided in the chamber of the valve seat member 10 and the valve sleeve 30, wherein the region between the structure of the drive assembly 23 located within the valve sleeve 30 and the inner wall of the valve sleeve 30 forms a rotor chamber 50, the drive assembly 23 and the small spindle 22 are drivingly connected, and a balancing passage 60 communicating the rotor chamber 50 with the small valve orifice 211.

[0042] In this embodiment, the balancing passage 60 connects the rotor chamber 50 and the small valve port 211. When the electronic expansion valve is operating, the pressure at the small valve port 211 and the pressure in the rotor chamber 50 can always be made equal, ensuring an optimal balancing effect inside the electronic expansion valve and avoiding the problem of poor valve closure caused by a relatively large pressure difference between the rotor chamber 50 and the small valve port 211. In this embodiment, the drive assembly 23 moves the small spindle 22 in conjunction with the small spindle 22, which adjusts the opening of the small valve port 211 to achieve the function of flow rate regulation. This electronic expansion valve may be mounted on a mounting base or within a valve body.

[0043] Here, the valve seat member 10 includes a valve seat ring 18 and a valve seat body 14, the valve sleeve 30, the valve seat ring 18 and the valve seat body 14 are sequentially connected, and the drive assembly 23 includes a nut structure 41, which is located within the valve sleeve 30, and the area between the nut structure 41 and the inner wall of the valve sleeve 30 forms a rotor chamber 50. When the above-mentioned installation method is adopted, by providing the nut structure 41 within the valve sleeve 30, the area between the nut structure 41 and the inner wall of the valve sleeve 30 forms the rotor chamber 50.

[0044] Optionally, the electronic expansion valve further includes a rotor member, the rotor member being disposed within the valve sleeve 30, the rotor member being used to drive and rotate the screw assembly 42, and a gap being formed between the rotor member and the inner wall of the valve sleeve 30.

[0045] Furthermore, the balancing passage 60 includes a first passage 61, a second passage 62, a third passage 63, and a fourth passage 64, which are connected in sequence, wherein the first passage 61 is located in the nut structure 41, the second passage 62 is located in the seat ring 18, the third passage 63 is located in the screw assembly 42, and the fourth passage 64 is located in the small spindle 22. By providing the first passage 61 in the nut structure 41, the second passage 62 in the seat ring 18, the third passage 63 in the screw assembly 42, and the fourth passage 64 in the small spindle 22, the rotor chamber 50 and the small valve orifice 211 are connected to each other via the balancing passage 60, and the problem of poor valve closure caused by a relatively large pressure difference between the rotor chamber 50 and the small valve orifice 211 is avoided.

[0046] Here, the nut structure 41 includes a nut body 411 and a connecting plate 412. The connecting plate 412 is fitted into the nut body 411 and welded to the seat ring 18, with holes or open slots 4121 in the connecting plate 412 forming the first passage 61. The connection between the connecting plate 412 and the seat ring 18 is made stable and reliable by welding. The holes or open slots 4121 in the connecting plate 412 can form the first passage 61, thereby realizing communication between the rotor chamber 50 and the first passage 61.

[0047] In this embodiment, the seat ring 18 includes a guide chamber 181 and a first through-hole 182. The inner wall of the guide chamber 181 has an annular groove 1111. A portion of the large spindle portion 21 is located within the guide chamber 181. The first through-hole 182 and the annular groove 1111 are in communication with each other, and the first through-hole 182 and the annular groove 1111 form the second passage 62. The provision of the guide chamber 181 makes it easy to locate a portion of the large spindle portion 21 within the guide chamber 181. The communication between the first through-hole 182 and the annular groove 1111 and the communication between the first passage 61 and the second passage 62 ensures that the pressure within the rotor chamber 50 and the annular groove 1111 are kept equal. The annular groove 1111 is also in communication with the third passage 63. Alternatively, the valve seat ring 18 has a guide chamber 181 and a first through hole 182 therein, a part of the large spindle portion 21 is located within the guide chamber 181 , and the first through hole 182 forms the second passage 62 .

[0048] Specifically, the screw 231 is threaded onto the nut structure 41, the connecting sleeve 232 is connected to the small valve core 22, the fourth passage 64 is connected to the chamber within the connecting sleeve 232, and the side wall of the connecting sleeve 232 has a second through hole 4221, which forms the third passage 63. By adopting the above-mentioned installation method, the connecting sleeve 232 is connected to the small valve core 22 and the fourth passage 64 is connected to the chamber within the connecting sleeve 232, ensuring that the pressure in the chamber within the connecting sleeve 232 is the same as the fourth passage 64. The second through hole 4221 ensures that the pressure in the connecting sleeve 232 is the same as the pressure in the annular groove 1111, thereby maintaining the pressure in the rotor chamber 50 as the same as the pressure in the fourth passage 64. Here, the screw assembly 42 includes the screw 231 and the connecting sleeve 232.

[0049] In this embodiment, the limiting rod 221 and the large spindle 21 are axially engaged with each other, and the sealing rod 222 is used to engage with the small valve orifice 211. The limiting rod 221 has a third through-hole 3211, and the sealing rod 222 has a fourth through-hole 3221, and the third through-hole 3211 and the third through-hole 3211 form a fourth passage 64. The outer diameter of the limiting rod 221 is larger than that of the sealing rod 222, and the limiting rod 221 and the large spindle 21 are axially engaged with each other, thereby providing a limiting effect on the small spindle 22 and restricting the movement range of the small spindle 22. Since the third through hole 3211 and the fourth through hole 3221 are connected, and the fourth through hole 3221 is connected to the small valve port 211, the pressure in the rotor chamber 50 and the pressure in the small valve port 211 can be kept the same, and communication between the rotor chamber 50 and the small valve port 211 is achieved through the balancing passage 60.

[0050] In this embodiment, the spindle member 20 further includes a second inner sealing ring 34, which is located between the outer wall of the large spindle portion 21 and the inner wall of the valve seat member 10. The provision of the second inner sealing ring 34 ensures a tight seal between the outer wall of the large spindle portion 21 and the inner wall of the valve seat member 10.

[0051] As shown in Figures 14 to 16, the electronic expansion valve further includes a large gasket 15 disposed in the valve seat member 10 and having a large valve port 11. The large spindle 215 includes a main body structure 31 and a sealing sleeve 32 connected to each other. The end of the sealing sleeve 32 engages with the large gasket 15 to open or close the large valve port 11. The main body structure 31 and the inner wall of the valve seat member 10 are sealingly engaged with each other. The outer circumferential surface of the main body structure 31 has a radial cross-sectional area S3. When the sealing sleeve 32 is abutted against the large gasket 15, a contact surface is formed between the sealing sleeve 32 and the large gasket 15 surrounding the large valve port 11. The outer circumferential area of ​​the contact surface is S2, and the inner circumferential area of ​​the contact surface is S1. <S3<S2である。

[0052] In this aspect, by communicating the rotor chamber 50 and the valve port 211 through the equalization passage 60, the fluid pressure intensities on both sides of the spindle member 20 become the same, that is, both become the fluid pressure intensity in the large valve port 11. Thus, when the large valve port 11 is closed and the fluid flow direction of the electronic expansion valve is from the chamber of the valve seat member 10 to the large valve port 11, the fluid pressure intensity is P1, the fluid pressure received by the spindle member 20 is P1(S2 - S3), and the force receiving direction is the valve closing direction. When the fluid flow direction of the electronic expansion valve is from the large valve port 11 to the chamber of the valve seat member 10, the fluid pressure intensity is P2, the fluid pressure received by the spindle member 20 is P2(S3 - S1), and the force receiving direction is the valve closing direction. Therefore, according to the above aspect, regardless of the fluid flow direction in the electronic expansion valve, when the large valve port 11 is closed, the forces exerted by the fluid on the spindle member 20 are all in the valve closing direction, ensuring the reliability of the electronic expansion valve during valve closing and avoiding internal leakage. This electronic expansion valve may be used by being mounted on a mounting base or inside a valve body.

[0053] In this embodiment, the large gasket 15 is made of a soft material, and the end face of the large gasket 15 is engaged with the end of the sealing sleeve 32. Thus, when the sealing sleeve 32 is pressed against the large gasket 15, a recess is formed in the large gasket 15, the contact area of the contact surface increases, and the sealing effect is improved.

[0054] Here, the end face of the sealing sleeve 32 facing the large gasket 15 is an arc-shaped surface �21, and the contact surface is located within the arc-shaped surface 321. By providing the end face of the sealing sleeve 32 facing the large gasket 15 as the arc-shaped surface 321, the large gasket 15 is more easily deformed during valve closing, and the contact area of the contact surface increases. Optionally, in the cross-section passing through the axis of the sealing sleeve 32, the arc-shaped surface 321 is divided into symmetrical arcs by the extension line of the outer wall of the main body structure , so that a part of the contact surface is located within the outer peripheral surface of the main body structure , and the other part is located outside the outer peripheral surface of the main body structure can be ensured, ensuring S1 < S3 < S2 and improving the reliability of valve closing.

[0055] Furthermore, both the main body structure 31 and the sealing sleeve 32 are cylindrical structures. The main body structure 31, the sealing sleeve 32, and the large valve port 11 are provided coaxially. The outer diameter of the main body structure 31 is D3, the outer diameter of the sealing sleeve 32 is D2, and the inner diameter of the sealing sleeve 32 is D1. Here, D1 < D3 < D2.

[0056] Specifically, in FIG. 14, the region surrounded by the outer peripheral edge of the sealing sleeve 32 is defined as S4. When, during use, the fluid flow direction of the electronic expansion valve is from the chamber of the valve seat member 10 to the large valve port 11, the pressure intensity at the large valve port 11 is smaller than P1 and may be regarded as the atmospheric environment. The upward pressure of P1 received by the spindle member 20 is the force applied by P1 to the gap between the lower end surface of the sealing sleeve and the large gasket 15, that is, P1(S4 - S2). The downward pressure of P1 received by the spindle member is the force applied by P1 to the upper end surface of the sealing sleeve 32, that is, P1(S4 - S3). Since S3 < S2, the resultant force of the upward force and the downward force is the downward P1(S2 - S3). In this way, the direction of the resultant force coincides with the valve closing direction, ensuring the reliability of valve closing. When the fluid flow direction of the electronic expansion valve is from the large valve port 11 to the chamber of the valve seat member 10, the pressure intensity in the chamber of the valve seat member 10 is smaller than P1 and may be regarded as being in communication with the external atmospheric environment. The upward pressure of P2 received by the spindle member 20 is P2S1, and the downward pressure intensity received by the spindle member 20 is equal to P2, and the downward pressure is P2S3. Since S1 < S3, the resultant force of the two is the downward P2(S3 - S1). In this way, the direction of the resultant force coincides with the valve closing direction, ensuring the reliability of valve closing.

[0057] With the above design, regardless of whether the gas or liquid enters horizontally or vertically, the force receiving direction of the sealing sleeve 32 and the valve closing direction always coincide for the electronic expansion valve, thus avoiding the problem that the valve cannot be completely closed due to excessive fluid pressure and malfunctioning, and improving the valve closing reliability of the electronic expansion valve.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 15 , the main body structure 31 includes a first sleeve 312 and a second sleeve 313 connected to each other, where the second sleeve 313 and the sealing sleeve 32 are integral. The valve seat member 10 includes a seat ring 18 and a valve seat body 14 connected to each other, where the large gasket 15 is located within the valve seat body 14, and the first sleeve 312 is located within the seat ring 18, and the first sleeve 312 and the seat ring 18 are sealingly engaged. As described above, the main body structure 31 is provided as a separate structure, which facilitates processing and assembly. The second sleeve 313 and the sealing sleeve 32 are provided as an integral structure, which improves structural strength. Optionally, the flow holes 13 can be located in the valve seat body 14 rather than in the seat ring 18, thereby shortening the length of the seat ring 18, simplifying the structure of the seat ring 18, and facilitating processing of the seat ring 18.

[0059] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
