[0028] As an implementation, please refer to the valve device 100 shown in FIGS. 1-13, the valve device 100 includes a valve body 11, a valve core 12, and a sealing element 13, the valve body 11 has a valve cavity 111, the valve core 12 and the sealing element 13 are arranged in the valve cavity 111, the valve core 12 includes a core body 121, the sealing element 13 includes a static sealing segment 131 and a dynamic sealing segment 132, the static sealing segment 131 is in static sealing connection with one of the valve body 11 and the valve core 12, and the dynamic sealing segment 132 is in abutment with the other one of the valve body 11 and the valve core 12 during operation of the valve device 100; the valve device 100 includes a flow passage cavity 14, the flow passage cavity 14 is capable of flowing through a working medium, the dynamic sealing segment 132 is closer to a wall portion corresponding to the flow passage cavity 14 relative to the static sealing segment 131, the sealing element 13 includes a fluid contact segment 139, the fluid contact segment 139 is arranged away from the dynamic sealing segment 132, and at least the fluid contact segment 139 is exposed to the flow passage cavity 14. For the convenience of describing the relationship between the sealing element and the valve body and the valve core, please refer to FIGS. 5 and 6, which exemplarily show that, on a transverse cross section perpendicular to an axis of the valve device 100, along a circumferential direction of the valve device 100, the dynamic sealing segment 132 is closer to the wall portion corresponding to the flow passage cavity 14 relative to the static sealing segment 131.

[0029] Thus, the first, only static sealing section 131 is located between the wall part corresponding to the valve cavity 111 and the outer wall part of the valve core 12, which is extruded by the wall part corresponding to the valve cavity 111 and / or the outer wall of the valve core 12, and the fluid contact section 139 on the side away from the dynamic sealing section 132 is not extruded by the wall part corresponding to the valve cavity 111 or the outer wall part of the valve core 12, which is beneficial to reduce the friction force on the dynamic sealing section 132, and further beneficial to reduce the friction force on the sealing element 13, and further beneficial to reduce the wear of the sealing element 13, and thus beneficial to improve the service life of the sealing element 13.

[0030] Second, since the sealing of the dynamic sealing section 132 in the sealing position is achieved by the pressure of the working medium in the flow passage cavity 14, the sealing member 13 can be designed without considering the design of a high sealing pressure to resist high pressure, so that the sealing member 13 works in a small pressure environment for at least more than half of the entire life cycle, thereby improving the service life of the sealing member 13.

[0031] Third, since the sealing of the dynamic sealing section 132 in the sealing position is achieved by the pressure of the working medium in the flow passage cavity 14, the sealing member 13 can be designed without considering the design of a high sealing pressure to resist high pressure, which is conducive to reducing the driving force of the valve core 12, thereby facilitating the reduction of the driving assembly structure, for example, the output power of the motor can be reduced, thereby laying a certain foundation for the reduction of the valve device 100.

[0032] As a specific implementation, please refer to FIGS. 1-9, along the radial direction of the valve device 100, the sealing member 13 has an elastic deformation amount, and the dynamic sealing section 132 can elastically abut against the other of the valve body 11 and the valve core 12. In this way, the distance between the valve body 11 and the valve core 12 along the radial direction of the valve device 100 can be allowed to fluctuate within a certain range, so that first, the manufacturing size precision of the parts, such as the valve body 11 and / or the valve core 12, can be reduced, thereby laying a certain foundation for reducing the cost of the valve device 100. Second, when the pressure of the working medium flowing through the flow passage cavity 14 is small, the sealing between the valve body 11 and the valve core 12 can also be achieved.

[0033] As an implementation, please refer to FIGS. 1-9, the sealing member 13 includes a fixed portion 133 and an abutting portion 134, the fixed portion 133 is fixedly connected with the valve body 11, and at least part of the static sealing section 131 is arranged on the fixed portion 133. The static sealing section 131 abuts against the wall portion corresponding to the valve cavity 111. The abutting portion 134 is close to the wall portion corresponding to the flow passage cavity relative to the fixed portion 133, and the dynamic sealing section 132 is arranged on the abutting portion 134. Along the radial direction of the valve device 100, the dynamic sealing section 132 is close to the core 121 relative to the static sealing section 131. In this way, the structure design of the sealing member 13 is relatively simple, and it is easier to make the dynamic sealing section 132 tightly adhere to the outer wall of the valve core 12 by the pressure of the working medium in the flow passage cavity, thereby achieving the sealing between the sealing member 13 and the valve core 12. For convenience of description: it is exemplarily given that, in the cross section perpendicular to the axis of the valve device 100, along the circumferential direction of the valve device 100, the abutting portion 134 is close to the wall portion corresponding to the flow passage cavity relative to the fixed portion 133, and the dynamic sealing section 132 is arranged on the abutting portion.

[0034] To make the abutting portion 134, it can be understood that the fluid contact section 139 on the side opposite to the dynamic sealing section 132 is sufficiently exposed to the flow passage cavity, and by means of the working medium in the flow passage cavity, the fluid contact section 139 can be understood to exert a certain force on the side opposite to the dynamic sealing section 132, so that the dynamic sealing section 132 is tightly attached to the outer side wall of the valve core 12. As an implementation, please refer to FIGS. 1 to 8, the wall portion corresponding to the hole 138 is formed on the abutting portion 134, the dynamic sealing section 132 is connected with the wall portion corresponding to the hole 138, and the flow-through cross-sectional area corresponding to the communication port 112 is larger than the flow-through cross-sectional area corresponding to the hole 138. It should be noted that the flow-through cross-sectional area here and in the following description refers to the cross section perpendicular to the flow direction of the working medium. In this way, the sealing element 13 can not need to be provided with an auxiliary structure to increase the force on the side opposite to the dynamic sealing section 132, and the force area of the fluid contact section 139 can be understood to be beneficial to improve the structural strength of the sealing element 13. As another implementation, the flow-through cross-sectional area corresponding to the communication port 112 is equal to the flow-through cross-sectional area corresponding to the hole 138. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the flow resistance of the working medium in the flow passage cavity.

[0035] To increase the force area of the fluid contact section 139 on the side opposite to the dynamic sealing section 132, as an implementation, please refer to FIGS. 1 to 8, the sealing element 13 comprises a recess 135, the recess 135 is provided on the same side of the dynamic sealing section 132 as the static sealing section 131, the recess 135 is staggered with the static sealing section 131, and along the radial direction of the valve device 100, the wall portion corresponding to the recess 135 is spaced apart from the wall portion corresponding to the valve cavity 111 by a predetermined distance, and the flow passage cavity 14 is communicated with the recess cavity 1351 corresponding to the recess 135. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, for the convenience of description, only the recess 135 is shown in the cross section perpendicular to the axis of the valve device 100, and the recess 135 is staggered with the static sealing section 131. The working medium in the flow passage cavity can enter the recess cavity 1351, and part of the wall portion corresponding to the recess cavity 1351 is located on the side opposite to the dynamic sealing section 132. In this way, first, it is beneficial to increase the force area of the fluid contact section on the side opposite to the dynamic sealing section 132, and further beneficial to increase the force on the abutting portion 134, so that the dynamic sealing section 132 is tightly attached to the valve core 12, and it is beneficial to improve the sealing between the dynamic sealing section 132 and the valve core 12.

[0036] Second, if the flow-through cross-sectional area corresponding to the communication port 112 is equal to the flow-through cross-sectional area corresponding to the hole 138, only an auxiliary structure, such as the recess 135, needs to be provided on the sealing element 13, which is beneficial to improve the sealing between the abutting portion 134 and the valve core 12 while reducing the flow resistance of the flow passage cavity 14 of the valve device 100.

[0037] Further, as an implementation, please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, the valve device 100 comprises a reinforcing portion 136, the wall portion corresponding to the concave cavity 1351 comprises a bottom portion 1352, the reinforcing portion 136 is protrudingly arranged from the bottom portion 1352 to the wall portion corresponding to the valve cavity 111, and the end portion of the reinforcing portion 136 is spaced apart from the wall portion corresponding to the valve cavity 111 by a preset interval. In this way, the structural strength of the sealing member 13 is improved, and the stress area on the side opposite to the dynamic sealing section 132 is increased. The wall portion corresponding to the hole 138 is formed in the abutting portion 134 and the reinforcing portion 136.

[0038] Further, as an implementation, the valve device 100 comprises a rib portion 13a, and at least part of the rib portion 13a is located in the reinforcing portion 136. In this way, the structural strength of the sealing member 13 is increased. Specifically, the rib portion 13a is a metal ring, and the sealing member 13 comprises an inner recess portion 13b, and at least part of the metal ring is embedded in the inner recess portion 13b. In this way, the structural strength of the sealing member 13 is increased.

[0039] The connection between the fixed portion 133 and the valve body 11 can be fixed by vulcanization, and of course, combined installation can also be used for connection and fixation. As an implementation, please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, the valve device 100 comprises a limiting portion 17, the limiting portion 17 is fixedly connected with the valve body 11 or the limiting portion 17 and the valve body 11 are integrated into a structure, the valve device 100 comprises a limiting groove 171, the wall portion corresponding to the limiting groove 171 comprises part of the wall portion corresponding to the valve cavity 111 and the limiting portion 17, the fixed portion 133 is located in the limiting groove 171, the static sealing section 131 is in contact with the wall portion corresponding to the valve cavity 111, and the side portion of the fixed portion 133 on the side away from the static sealing section 131 is in abutment with the limiting portion 17. In this way, the elastic deformation of the sealing member 13 can be used to realize the sealing between the sealing member 13 and the wall portion corresponding to the valve cavity 111.

[0040] As a specific implementation, part of the fixed portion 133 is in interference fit with the wall portion corresponding to the limiting groove 171, and it can be understood that part of the fixed portion 133 is elastically pressed against the wall portion corresponding to the limiting groove 171. The limiting portion 17 is spaced apart from the valve core 12 by a preset interval along the radial direction of the valve device 100. In this way, the friction between the valve core 12 and the limiting portion 17 is reduced, and the driving force of the valve core 12 is further reduced, which is conducive to reducing the structure of the driving assembly, for example, the output power of the motor can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the valve device 100 is reduced.

[0041] As an implementation, please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, the abutting portion 134 includes a connecting segment 1341, the connecting segment 1341 and the dynamic sealing segment 132 are arranged on the same side relative to the static sealing segment 131, and the connecting segment 1341 is away from the flow passage cavity 14 relative to the dynamic sealing segment 132. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, in a transverse cross section perpendicular to the axis of the valve device 100, the connecting segment 1341 is away from the flow passage cavity 14 relative to the dynamic sealing segment 132. In the radial direction of the valve device 100, the dynamic sealing segment 132 is closer to the valve core 12 relative to the connecting segment 1341, and the connecting segment 1341 is spaced apart from the valve core 12 by a predetermined distance in the radial direction of the valve device 100. In this way, the first is further conducive to reducing the driving force on the valve core 12, thereby facilitating the reduction of the structure of the driving assembly, for example, the output power of the motor can be reduced, thereby laying a certain foundation for the reduction of the valve device 100.

[0042] Second, it is conducive to reducing the friction area between the sealing member 13 and the valve core 12, while realizing the sealing between the sealing member 13 and the valve core 12, it is conducive to improving the service life of the sealing member 13.
