具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。以下对至少一个示例性实施例的描述实际上仅仅是说明性的,决不作为对本发明及其应用或使用的任何限制。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
如图1至图7所示,本发明的实施例提供了一种电子膨胀阀,包括:阀座部100,阀座部100具有大阀口101;阀针部件200,设置在阀座部100的腔体内,阀针部件200包括大阀针部210和小阀针220,大阀针部210具有小阀口211,大阀针部210用于开闭大阀口101,小阀针220用于开闭小阀口211。
采用该方案,通过小阀针220的轴向移动来调节小阀口211的开度,从而实现小流量的调节;通过大阀针部210封堵或避让大阀口101来实现大流量的通断。其中,当电子膨胀阀处在关闭状态时,小阀针220封堵小阀口211,大阀针部210封堵大阀口101;当电子膨胀阀处在流量调节状态时,小阀针220轴向移动以调节小阀口211的开度,大阀针部210封堵大阀口101,实现小流量调节;当电子膨胀阀处在全开状态时,小阀针220移动至完全避让小阀口211后,小阀针220带动大阀针部210进行轴向移动,直至大阀针部210完全避让大阀口101,从而实现了全开状态。
其中,大阀针部210包括阀针主体240,阀针主体240具有小阀口211,小阀针220用于关闭小阀口211;阀针主体240具有导向孔213,小阀针220与导向孔213内壁之间设有第一内密封圈231,小阀针220通过第一内密封圈231与导向孔213内壁活动密封配合;小阀针220与小阀口211抵接的位置形成密封部105,小阀针220远离密封部105的一端所在阀腔与小阀口211连通;其中,第一内密封圈231位于小阀针220外壁的第一内密封槽内,密封部105的最大直径小于第一内密封圈231的外径;或,第一内密封圈231位于导向孔213内壁的第一内密封槽内,密封部105的最大直径小于第一内密封圈231的内径。
在该方案的上述两种第一内密封圈231的安装方式中,密封部105的最大直径小于第一内密封圈231的外径,或密封部105的最大直径小于第一内密封圈231的内径,使得小阀针220在静止或运动的过程中始终受到进口流体与出口流体之间产生的压力差,不再保持平衡,压力差最后传递给电子膨胀阀的螺杆,从而消除螺杆在向下、向上移动过程中,当螺杆相对电子膨胀阀的螺母套转动至同一位置,阀针相对阀口的位置存在误差的问题。
其中,大阀针部210与阀座部100可一体设置,或将大阀针部210与阀座部100固定连接,或大阀针部210属于阀座部100的一部分;或大阀针部210可移动。
其中,小阀针220在移动过程中,小阀针220受到的摩擦力为F1,小阀针220受到阀座部100内的流体作用力的合力为F2,其中,F1<F2。即本方案中流体对小阀针220的作用力总大于小阀针220受到的摩擦力,这样无论是在开阀还是关阀过程中,小阀针220受到的摩擦力和流体力的合力总是在一个确定的方向,例如向上或向下,小阀针220在移动过程中受到的力的合力方向不会发生变化。电子膨胀阀在装配中,在小阀针220的轴向难免存在装配间隙(如图7所示),若小阀针220在移动过程中受到的力的合力方向发生变化,会导致小阀针220发生轴向窜动(窜动距离为装配间隙的距离),这导致了开关阀不稳定,会影响流量曲线的准确性。通过本方案中F1<F2的限定,避免了产生小阀针220发生轴向窜动的问题。
具体地,小阀针220具有锥形段224,锥形段224与小阀口211抵接的位置形成密封部105。。并且,小阀针220的锥形段224与小阀口211密封配合,锥形段224可进行流量调节,小阀口211对锥形段224进行支撑,小阀针220密封小阀口211时位置稳定,可保证电子膨胀阀的小阀针220在低脉冲小流量调节状态下,流量曲线处的拐点精度高、拐点所在的脉冲范围小,增强小阀针220流量调节的精度。
其中,大阀针部210还包括设置在阀针主体240内的小密封垫260,小阀口211包括小密封垫260内的通孔,通孔的内壁与小阀针220的锥形段224密封配合;通孔朝向第一内密封圈231的一端具有倒角面。通孔朝向第一内密封圈231的一端具有倒角面,便于小阀针220穿入小阀口211,同时可增强与小阀针220之间的密封性能,减缓密封时小阀针220对小阀口211造成的磨损。
其中,阀座部100具有大阀口101,阀针主体240用于关闭大阀口101;阀针主体240设有平衡通道,阀针主体240远离大阀口101的一端所在的阀腔通过平衡通道与大阀口101连通;小阀针220远离密封部105的一端所在的阀腔通过平衡通道与小阀口211连通;大阀口101与小阀口211连通。通过平衡通道可减小阀针部件200两端的流体压差,便于开闭阀口。通过设置大阀口101,由于大阀口101的直径较大,大阀口101在打开时可实现电子膨胀阀的大流量功能。
在一个具体实施例中,阀座部100具有大阀口101,大阀针部210包括阀针主体240和设置在阀针主体240内的小密封垫260,小密封垫260具有小阀口211,小阀口211的内表面具有直筒段;小阀针220具有锥形段224,锥形段224用于和直筒段的内表面密封配合,大阀针部210用于开闭大阀口101。
在该方案中,通过小阀针220的锥形段224的锥形面和小密封垫260中直筒段的内表面的配合实现了对小阀口211的可靠密封,并且,本方案中锥形面设置在小阀针220的锥形段224,而不是设置在小密封垫260内,与现有技术相比,密封用的锥形面为外表面而不是内表面,这样锥形面容易精确加工和测量,降低了生产难度,提高了成品率,从而降低了电子膨胀阀的生产成本。
其中,直筒段的直径小于锥形段224的大端直径,且大于锥形段224的小端直径。这样锥形段224插入直筒段后,锥形段224的一部分位于直筒段内,另一部分位于直筒段外,密封效果更好。
小阀口211的内表面还具有倒角段261,倒角段261的锥角大于锥形段224的锥角。通过倒角段261可去除小阀口211边沿的毛刺,并且对锥形段224穿入直筒段起到引导作用。
在本实施例中,阀针主体240具有导向孔213,小阀针220具有封堵段222,封堵段222可轴向移动地穿过导向孔213,封堵段222具有锥形段224,锥形段224的小端直径小于封堵段222的等径段的直径。这样通过导向孔213和封堵段222的配合,对小阀针220的移动起到了导向和限位的作用。
在本实施例中,阀针部件200还包括第一内密封圈231,封堵段222具有第一内密封槽,第一内密封圈231安装于第一内密封槽,且第一内密封圈231的外壁和导向孔213的内壁抵接。这样通过第一内密封圈231可起到密封作用,避免内漏。
本方案中,由于锥形段224的存在,小阀针220在小阀口211的密封位置的受力面积小于小阀针220在导向孔213内的受力面积,这样与大阀口101连通的流体对小阀针220的作用力的合力总是朝向小阀口211。
电子膨胀阀中,流体从流通孔102进入并从大阀口101输出的情况下,流通孔102处的流体压力大于大阀口101处的流体压力,流通孔102处的流体对小阀针220的作用力向上(即背离大阀口101方向)并且力比较大,大阀口101处的流体对小阀针220的作用力的合力向下(即朝向大阀口101方向),电子膨胀阀内流体对小阀针220的总作用力F2向上,小阀针220在开阀时受到的摩擦力为F1向下,在关阀时F1向上,F1<F2,这样小阀针220无论是开阀还是关阀,F1和F2的合力总是向上,即小阀针220受到的合力是单一方向,不会发生变化,避免了小阀针220在移动过程中发生轴向窜动的问题。
相应地,流体从流通孔102流出并从大阀口101流入的情况下,流通孔102处的流体压力小于大阀口101处的流体压力,流通孔102处的流体对小阀针220的作用力向上(即背离大阀口101方向),大阀口101处的流体对小阀针220的作用力的合力向下(即朝向大阀口101方向)并且力比较大,电子膨胀阀内流体对小阀针220的总作用力F2向下,小阀针220在开阀时受到的摩擦力为F1向下,在关阀时F1向上,F1<F2,这样小阀针220无论是开阀还是关阀,F1和F2的合力总是向下,即小阀针220受到的合力是单一方向,不会发生变化,避免了小阀针220在移动过程中发生轴向窜动的问题。
阀针部件200还包括第二内密封圈232,大阀针部210具有第二内密封槽,第二内密封圈232安装于第二内密封槽,且第二内密封圈232的外壁和阀座部100的内壁抵接。通过第二内密封圈232可对大阀针部210的周向进行密封,避免内漏。阀针主体240与大阀口101之间密封区域的尺寸与第二内密封圈232的外径基本相等,保证阀针主体240在阀腔内的受力平衡。
电子膨胀阀还包括螺杆组件300,螺杆组件300包括小弹性件350;小弹性件350的一端和小阀针220抵接;小阀口211关闭时,小弹性件350对小阀针220施加朝向小阀口211的作用力为密封预紧力,密封预紧力的最小值为F3,F1+F2<F3。
具体地,螺杆组件300还包括螺杆310、装配套320、轴承330,螺杆310和轴承330的内圈连接,轴承330的外圈位于装配套320内,小弹性件350的一端和轴承330限位配合,小弹性件350的另一端和限位段221抵接。
通过小弹性件350可提高小阀针220关闭小阀口211的可靠性,并且可以起到缓冲和防护的作用,通过阀座环104可对装配套320的往复移动进行导向。F1+F2<F3,避免了流体对小阀针220施加的作用力将小阀针220顶起,保证了关闭小阀口211的可靠性。
其中,阀座部100具有阀座环104,装配套320沿阀座环104内壁往复移动,通过阀座环104可对装配套320起到导向作用。
本实施例的使用原理为:
流体从流通孔102进入,从小阀口211流出时,第一内密封圈231与密封部105之间的小阀针220受到流通孔102进入的高压流体作用力,方向沿电子膨胀阀轴向且远离小阀口211,第一内密封圈231与密封部105之间的小阀针220受到小阀口211处的低压流体作用力,方向沿电子膨胀阀轴向且靠近小阀口211,因小阀针220锥形段224的设置,高压流体作用力与低压流体作用力的合力为F2,F2的方向始终沿电子膨胀阀轴向且远离小阀口211;当小阀针220靠近小阀口211运动时,小阀针220内的第一内密封圈231受到的摩擦力F1沿电子膨胀阀轴向且远离小阀口211,F1与F2的方向相同,小阀针220受到F1与F2的合力沿电子膨胀阀轴向且远离小阀口211;当小阀针220远离小阀口211运动时,小阀针220内的第一内密封圈231受到的摩擦力F1沿电子膨胀阀轴向且靠近小阀口211,因F1小于F2,小阀针220受到F1与F2的合力沿电子膨胀阀轴向且远离小阀口211;因此,小阀针220向上运动还是向下运动,小阀针220受到流体作用力与摩擦力的合力方向始终一致,流体作用力与摩擦力的合力作用于螺杆,使螺杆的螺纹的上侧面始终保持与螺母套的螺纹的上侧面相抵接。流体从流通孔102流出,从小阀口211进入时,小阀针220向上运动还是向下运动,小阀针220受到流体作用力与摩擦力的合力方向始终一致,均为沿电子膨胀阀轴向且靠近小阀口211,流体作用力与摩擦力的合力作用于螺杆,使螺杆的螺纹的下侧面始终保持与螺母的螺纹的下侧面相抵接。
阀座部100的侧壁具有流通孔102,大阀针部210具有侧开孔212,侧开孔212和流通孔102连通;电子膨胀阀具有关闭状态、流量调节状态和全开状态,在关闭状态,小阀针220封堵小阀口211,小阀口211和侧开孔212不连通,大阀针部210封堵大阀口101,大阀口101和流通孔102不连通;在流量调节状态,大阀针部210封堵大阀口101,小阀针220通过轴向移动调节小阀口211的开度,大阀口101通过小阀口211和侧开孔212连通;在全开状态,大阀针部210打开大阀口101,大阀口101和流通孔102直接连通;这样该电子膨胀阀具有小流量调节功能以及大流量通断功能。
其中,大阀针部210内具有导向孔213,导向孔213位于小阀口211背离大阀口101的一侧,小阀针220可往复移动地穿过导向孔213并与导向孔213的内壁密封配合,通过导向孔213可对小阀针220的移动进行导向。
阀针部件200还包括第一内密封圈231,小阀针220具有第一内密封槽,第一内密封圈231安装于第一内密封槽,且第一内密封圈231的外壁和阀座部100的内壁抵接;这样可起到密封作用,避免内漏。
阀针部件200还包括第二内密封圈232,大阀针部210具有第二内密封槽,第二内密封圈232安装于第二内密封槽,且第二内密封圈232的外壁和阀座部100的内壁抵接;第二内密封圈232对大阀针部210起到密封作用。
小阀针220和大阀针部210在轴向限位配合,电子膨胀阀还包括螺杆组件300,螺杆组件300和小阀针220固定连接,以驱动小阀针220、大阀针部210往返移动,这样实现了小阀口211和大阀口101的开闭动作。
例如图6所示,图6中纵坐标为电子膨胀阀的流量,横坐标可以理解为阀口的开度,或阀针的行程,或螺杆组件300的行程。在横坐标的值约为320的位置是小阀口211和大阀口101的开闭分界线。其中,在横坐标的值小于320的位置小阀口211单独开闭,实现了精确的小流量调节功能(此种情况下具有节流效果),在横坐标的值大于320的位置大阀口101逐渐打开,流量迅速增大,实现了大流量功能(大阀口101完全打开无节流效果)。当然,电子膨胀阀的实际流量曲线不限于图6的形式,具体可根据工况和客户的需要进行调整。调整方式为,改变阀口尺寸、阀口内壁形状、阀针尺寸以及阀针外壁形状等。现有技术中有阀口处的密封垫设有与小阀针配合进行流量调节的锥面,小阀针无锥面设置,当小阀针闭合且压紧在小阀口处时,容易造成密封垫的锥面变形,从而造成小阀针的位置下移,因此,容易造成拐点值的位置不确定,从而流量调节精度低。本结构将流量调节的锥面设置于小阀针220,拐点值稳定,流量调节精度高。
在本申请中,大阀针部210包括阀针主体240和限位环250,阀针主体240具有限位孔241和导向孔213,导向孔213的内径小于限位孔241的内径,限位环250固定在限位孔241内;小阀针220可往复移动地穿过导向孔213并与导向孔213的内壁密封配合,限位环250和小阀针220止挡配合,以阻止小阀针220和大阀针部210分离;这样通过小阀针220和限位环250的配合,限定了小阀针220和阀针主体240的相对运动距离,避免两者脱离,并且可实现小阀针220在运动时小阀口211的开闭,以及小阀针220带动大阀针部210移动,从而实现大阀口101的开闭。
具体地,小阀针220包括限位段221、封堵段222和环形止挡件223,封堵段222穿过导向孔213,封堵段222的端部用于开闭小阀口211,限位段221位于限位孔241内,环形止挡件223固定在限位段221的外周面,环形止挡件223位于限位孔241的底壁和限位环250之间,环形止挡件223的外径大于导向孔213的内径、限位环250的内径,限位段221的外径 小于限位孔241的内径;通过环形止挡件223和限位环250的配合限定了小阀针220和阀针主体240的相对运动距离。
其中,环形止挡件223和限位孔241的底壁之间具有间隙,这样可保证小阀针220的顺畅移动。
限位孔241内具有限位台阶,限位环250的端面和限位台阶抵接;限位环250的外壁和限位孔241的内壁过盈配合和/或焊接;采用此种结构,实现了限位环250和阀针主体240的可靠连接。
在本方案中,小阀针220为一体式结构,这样便于加工,同轴度好。阀针主体240为一体式结构,这样便于加工,并且装配方便,阀针主体240和小阀针220的同轴度容易保证。阀针主体240沿阀座部100往复移动并与阀座部100的内壁密封配合;这样可通过阀座部100的内壁对阀针主体240导向。
电子膨胀阀还包括螺杆组件300,螺杆组件300和限位段221固定连接,以驱动小阀针220、大阀针部210往返移动;螺杆组件300的外壁和限位环250的内壁之间具有间隙,避免产生阻力。
在本申请中,大阀针部210内具有第一通道214,第一通道214的一端和大阀口101连通,第一通道214的另一端和大阀针部210背离大阀口101一侧的腔体连通,通过第一通道214可使得大阀针部210轴向的两端、小阀针220轴向的两端流体压强相等,避免或减少了流体压力对大阀针部210以及小阀针220的运动影响,使得大阀口101以及小阀口211的开闭更加容易操作。并且,将第一通道214设置在大阀针部210内而不是小阀针220内,便于加工。由于小阀针220直径较小,这样还避免了因开孔影响小阀针220的强度。
具体地,大阀针部210包括阀针主体240和限位环250,限位环250固定在阀针主体240内,小阀针220穿入阀针主体240,限位环250和小阀针220止挡配合,以阻止小阀针220和大阀针部210分离,阀针主体240具有第一通道214。

采用该方案,环形装配槽的腔体体积大于位于环形装配槽内的大密封垫110的体积,这样环形装配槽可容纳大密封垫110的变形量,保证大密封垫110的密封面不易变形,因此保证了大密封垫的密封性能,提高了电子膨胀阀长期使用的可靠性。
进一步地,密封面111外露于环形装配槽,大密封垫110的其余表面均位于环形装配槽内。这样大密封垫110只有与大阀针部210配合的密封面111外露于环形装配槽,大密封垫110的其余表面均位于环形装配槽内,这样大密封垫110的外露面很少,即使受冷或受热也不容易发生形变,因此保证了大密封垫110的密封性能,提高了电子膨胀阀长期使用的可靠性。
大阀针部210和密封面111配合的面为弧形面,这样可以增大接触面积,提高密封效果。
其中,大密封垫110位于环形装配槽内的至少一个环形表面和环形装配槽的内壁过盈配合。这样可保证密封效果,避免电子膨胀阀泄露。大密封垫110受热膨胀后可驱动大密封垫 110的外周面与形装配槽的内壁过盈配合,加强密封效果。大密封垫110遇冷收缩后可驱动大密封垫110的内周面与形装配槽的内壁过盈配合,加强密封效果。

通过设置倒角,一方面有利于大密封垫110的装配,另一方面,每个倒角处形成一个缓冲腔,这样大密封垫110在受热膨胀时可容纳大密封垫110的变形量,避免密封面因膨胀不平整,从而避免了大密封垫110的膨胀影响密封效果。

在本申请中,大阀针部210包括阀针主体240和设置在阀针主体240内的小密封垫260,小密封垫260具有小阀口211;小密封垫260由软质材料制成;这样小阀针220与小密封垫260接触面积大,密封效果好,避免了关闭小阀口211时发生泄露。
阀针主体240具有装配凹槽242,装配凹槽242的开口朝向大阀口101,小密封垫260位于装配凹槽242内;通过装配凹槽242便于安装小密封垫260。
装配凹槽242的底壁具有环形限位面,小密封垫260和环形限位面抵接;这样可在轴向对小密封垫260进行限位。
进一步地,大阀针部210还包括限位套270,小密封垫260、限位套270均位于阀针主体240内,至少部分小密封垫260位于阀针主体240与限位套270之间,小密封垫260具有小阀 口211,阀针主体240用于开闭大阀口101,小阀针220用于开闭小阀口211,限位套270的内周面朝向大阀口101的一端具有圆角或倒角。
在本方案中,通过小阀针220和小密封垫260的配合实现了对小阀口211的可靠密封,通过限位套270对小密封垫260进行固定,由于限位套270的内周面朝向大阀口101的一端具有圆角或倒角,这样流体在经过圆角或倒角时阻力小,避免了流体撞击和紧急转向,从而减小流体经过小阀口211及限位套270时的噪音,减小了电子膨胀阀的噪音。其中,限位套270、小密封垫260和小阀针220同轴设置。
其中,阀针主体240具有装配凹槽242,装配凹槽242的开口朝向大阀口101,小密封垫260位于装配凹槽242内;通过装配凹槽242便于安装小密封垫260。

小密封垫260由软质材料制成,这样密封效果更好。小密封垫260的外周面背离大阀口101的一端具有倒角,这样便于将小密封垫260压入装配凹槽242内。

侧开孔212和流通腔215连通的一端位于流通腔215的侧壁中部;侧开孔212的端部容易产生毛刺,将侧开孔212和流通腔215连通的一端设置在流通腔215的侧壁中部,这样在加工流通腔215时,容易去除侧开孔212的毛刺。
在本实施例中,阀针部件200具有第一通道214,第一通道214的一端和大阀口101连通,第一通道214的另一端和大阀针部210背离大阀口101一侧的腔体连通;这样大阀针部210两端的流体压强相等,使得大阀针部210两端受到的流体压力差值小,减少了流体压力对开关阀口的影响,容易进行操作。

在本申请中,阀针部件200还包括大弹性件280,大弹性件280位于阀座部100的腔体内,大弹性件280位于大阀针部210背离大阀口101的一侧,大弹性件280的一端和阀座部100的内壁抵接,大弹性件280的另一端和大阀针部210抵接;通过大弹性件280可对大阀针部210施加朝向大阀口101的作用力,这样提高了对大阀口101的关闭效果,避免阀口关闭不良而泄露。具体地,大弹性件280为弹簧,大弹性件280处于压缩状态。
阀座部100具有阀座环104,大弹性件280的一端和阀座环104抵接;这样可对大弹性件280的轴向进行限位。其中,阀座环104包括筒状结构和环状结构,环状结构位于筒状结构的外周面,螺杆组件300穿过筒状结构,筒状结构对螺杆组件300导向,大弹性件280的一端和环状结构抵接。

螺杆组件300穿过限位环250,和/或小阀针220穿过限位环250;小阀针220和限位环250在轴向限位配合。通过限位环250还可对小阀针220限位,避免小阀针220与阀针主体240脱离。
在本申请中,大阀针部210包括阀针主体240和设置在阀针主体240内的小密封垫260,小密封垫260具有小阀口211;小阀针220具有锥形段224,锥形段224用于和小阀口211的内表面密封配合;采用此种设置,锥形段224和小密封垫260接触面积大,对小阀口211的密封效果好。并且,由于小阀针220具有锥形段224,通过调整锥形段224与小阀口211的相对位置,可调整小阀口211的开度和流量变化,容易实现满足需要的流量曲线。
其中,小阀口211的内壁具有倒角段261,倒角段261用于和锥形段224密封配合;倒角段261的锥角大于锥形段224的锥角;通过倒角段261和锥形段224的配合,一方面提高了在关闭小阀口211的密封效果,另一方面更容易实现需要的流量曲线。
并且,本方案中在小阀针220的外壁加工锥面容易加工,这样小阀口211内的锥面可以加工的比较短,也容易加工和检测,因此降低了加工和检测难度,提高了成品率。
阀针主体240具有导向孔213,小阀针220具有封堵段222,封堵段222可轴向移动地穿过导向孔213,封堵段222具有锥形段224,锥形段224的小端直径小于封堵段222的等径段的直径;通过导向孔213和封堵段222的配合,可对小阀针220的移动进行导向,保证小阀针220和小阀口211的同轴度。
其中,阀座部100的侧壁具有流通孔102,阀针主体240具有侧开孔212,侧开孔212的一端和流通孔102连通,小阀口211打开的情况下,小阀口211和侧开孔212的另一端连通;在小阀口211或大阀口101打开的情况下,大阀口101和流通孔102连通,从而实现流体的流通。

其中,小弹性件350对小阀针220的作用力为F3,其中,F1+F2<F3。这样避免了流体对小阀针220施加的作用力将小阀针220顶起,保证了关闭小阀口211的可靠性。
阀针部件200还包括大弹性件280,大弹性件280位于阀座部100的腔体内,大弹性件280位于大阀针部210背离大阀口101的一侧,大弹性件280的一端和阀座部100的内壁抵接,大弹性件280的另一端和大阀针部210抵接;大弹性件280套设于装配套320外。大弹性件280对大阀针部210施加弹力,以保证大阀口101的关闭可靠性。上述装配方式结构紧凑,避免了电子膨胀阀体积过大。
在本申请中,阀座部100包括大阀座120和小阀座130,阀针部件200活动设置在大阀座120内,小阀座130和大阀座120固定连接,小阀座130具有大阀口101;大阀座120的周向上分布有多个流通孔102,流通孔102连通大阀座120内的腔体。

大阀针部210具有侧开孔212和流通腔215,侧开孔212的一端和流通孔102连通,侧开孔212的另一端和流通腔215连通,小阀针220穿过流通腔215,小阀口211打开的情况下,小阀口211和流通腔215连通;通过流通腔215可实现与一个或多个侧开孔212的连通。
侧开孔212和流通腔215连通的一端位于流通腔215的侧壁中部;侧开孔212的端部容易产生毛刺,将侧开孔212和流通腔215连通的一端设置在流通腔215的侧壁中部,这样在 加工流通腔215时,容易去除侧开孔212的毛刺。侧开孔212为多个,多个侧开孔212沿大阀针部210的周向分布;侧开孔212沿大阀针部210的径向延伸。
在本方案中,阀针部件200具有第一通道214,第一通道214的一端和大阀口101连通,第一通道214的另一端和大阀针部210背离大阀口101一侧的腔体连通;这样大阀针部210两端的流体压强相等,使得大阀针部210两端受到的流体压力差值小,减少了流体压力对开关阀口的影响,容易进行操作。
具体地,阀座部100具有导向内壁,大阀针部210沿导向内壁往复移动,且大阀针部210的外壁和导向内壁密封配合;大阀针部210朝向大阀口101的一端为密封端,阀座部100具有大密封垫110,大密封垫110围绕大阀口101设置,在密封端朝向大阀口101移动的过程中,密封端和大密封垫110刚接触的位置形成环形密封线,环形密封线的直径等于导向内壁的内径;这样大阀针部210的轴向两端与流体接触面积相等,大阀针部210的轴向两端受到的流体压力相等,实现了压力平衡,使开关阀口更加顺畅和可靠。
其中,阀针部件200还包括第二内密封圈232,大阀针部210的外周面具有第二内密封槽,第二内密封圈232安装于第二内密封槽,且第二内密封圈232的外壁和阀座部100的内壁抵接;这样可避免内漏。
其中,小阀针220和大阀针部210在轴向限位配合,电子膨胀阀还包括螺杆组件300,螺杆组件300和小阀针220固定连接,以驱动小阀针220、大阀针部210往返移动。
具体地,螺杆组件300包括螺杆310、装配套320、轴承330、衬套340和小弹性件350,螺杆310和轴承330的内圈连接,轴承330的外圈位于装配套320内并和装配套320限位配合,衬套340和轴承330的外圈朝向大阀口101的一侧抵接,小弹性件350套设在衬套340上,小弹性件350远离轴承330的一端和小阀针220抵接,装配套320和小阀针220固定连接;通过小弹性件350可对小阀针220施加朝向小阀口211的预紧力,这样可保证对小阀口211可靠关闭,避免泄露,并且小弹性件350还具有缓冲作用,避免螺杆310轴向位移过大造成结构损坏。
其中,衬套340具有通孔,衬套340的通孔避让轴承330的内圈和螺杆310的端部;或,衬套340具有凹槽,衬套340的凹槽的开口朝向螺杆310,衬套340的凹槽避让轴承330的内圈和螺杆310的端部,衬套340朝向大阀口101的一端为实心结构;将衬套340朝向大阀口101的一端设置为实心结构,可避免杂质进入到轴承330内,提高了轴承330的使用寿命。
其中,装配套320包括装配筒和环形止挡壁,环形止挡壁位于装配筒远离大阀口101的一端,小阀针220的一部分穿入装配筒内并和装配筒固定连接,轴承330的外圈和环形止挡壁抵接;这样可实现对轴承330的固定安装。
