In one embodiment, electric expansion valve provided by the present invention comprises the valve seat 1 with valve pocket, and valve seat 1 further comprises valve seat body 11 and is fixed in the sleeve pipe 12 of valve seat body 11 upper ends; The valve pocket of valve seat 1 is divided into be communicated with the upper cavity 14 of the first adapter 91 and to be communicated with second by valve port 13 takes over 92 lower chamber 15; Valve port 13 can be arranged on valve seat body 11, as shown in Fig. 3-2.
Upper cavity 14 is provided with fairlead 3; Fairlead 3 has endoporus, and upper cavity 14 is isolated into the first upper cavity 141 and around the second upper cavity 142 of the first epicoele 141, communication port 31, the first upper cavities 141 that the sidewall of fairlead 3 is provided with connection the first upper cavity 141 and the second upper cavity 142 are communicated with lower chamber 15 by valve port 13.The upper end of fairlead 3 is provided with and press-fits step 33, and the inner chamber that press-fits step 33 and valve seat body 11 can interference fit, also can be by being welded and fixed; The lower end of fairlead 3 is sleeved on the step of valve port 13.
It should be noted that, communication port 31 can be made as circumferential lengths along the structure of the axially downward convergent of fairlead 3, and as shown in Fig. 3-3, this kind of structure can make the refrigerant flow of low discharge scope regulate more accurate.Certainly, communication port 31 can be also other structures, as square, circle or ellipsoidal structure.
Further, in order to make in refrigerant flow adjustment process, the stability under loading of fairlead 3, can arrange at the sidewall of fairlead 3 a plurality of communication port 31, and a plurality of communication port 31 are evenly arranged in the sidewall of fairlead 3.
In valve pocket, be provided with valve rod 2, the endoporus laminating of the lower end of valve rod 2 and fairlead 3, valve rod 2 is connected with screw mandrel 4 by being located at its inner nut 7, screw mandrel 4 is in transmission connection by gear train 5 and the motor shaft 62 of motor 6, motor 6 is located in motor casing 61, and motor casing 61 can be fixedly connected by welding with sleeve pipe 12 upper end; Screw mandrel 4 can rotate with motor shaft 62, and along with the rotation of screw mandrel 4, valve rod 2 moves up and down vertically, thereby regulates the aperture of the communication port 31 of fairlead 3 sidewalls, and then realizes the object that refrigerant flow regulates.
For the ease of processing, the material of valve rod 2 can be preferably plastics, further, is set with protective sleeve 21 on the periphery wall of valve rod 2, and protective sleeve 21 is made for metal material, so that the intensity of enhancing valve rod 2.
The external diameter of valve rod 2 is greater than the internal diameter of valve port 13, and valve rod 2 is when complete shut-down state, and valve rod 2 does not stretch in valve port 13, and obviously now the end face of valve rod 2 and the step end face of valve port 13 form sealing, prevent refrigrant leakage.
Because valve rod 2 does not stretch into valve port 13 inside, so the working axiality of valve port 13 can not produce harmful effect to moving up and down of valve rod 2, in the moving process of valve rod 2, be only subject to the constraint of 3 one parts of fairlead, be not easy to occur the stuck phenomenon of valve rod 2.In addition, the consistent size up and down of valve rod 2, compared with prior art, assembles easier.
It is to be noted, because valve port 13 is arranged on valve seat body 11, and the step end face of end face and valve port 13 sealing during valve rod 2 complete shut-down, now, the step of fairlead 3 and valve port 13 can little matched in clearance, the little matched in clearance here, to guarantee that electric expansion valve can work, can not occur to leak as benchmark when valve rod 2 complete shut-down, when practical set, can adjust as required.In preferred version, the step of fairlead 3 and valve port 13 forms sealing.
In the present embodiment, valve rod 2 is set to planar structure with the end that valve port 13 coordinates, certainly, also can be set to pyramidal structure with the end that valve port 13 coordinates by valve rod 2, when close port 13, this pyramidal structure stretches in valve port 13, can further strengthen the sealing reliability of valve rod 2 and valve port 13.It is pointed out that the end that valve rod 2 coordinates with valve port 13 also can be set to other forms, as long as in the time of can guaranteeing close port 13, the sealing of valve rod 2 and valve port 13 reliably.
Valve rod 2 can be provided with the interstitial hole that connects the first upper cavity 141 and lower chamber 15, so can make valve rod 2 bearing up-down force balance in the course of the work.

Please refer to Fig. 4 to Fig. 6, wherein, generalized section when Fig. 4 is the valve rod complete shut-down of electric expansion valve in Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is the generalized section of the valve rod of electric expansion valve in Fig. 2 when half-open; Fig. 5-1 is the left view of electric expansion valve in Fig. 5; Generalized section when Fig. 6 is the valve rod standard-sized sheet of electric expansion valve in Fig. 2.
During valve rod 2 complete shut-down, the lower surface of valve rod 2 contacts with the step end face of valve port 13, and obviously both form sealing, and sealing surface is 131.Now, the communication port 31 of fairlead 3 sidewalls is blocked by valve rod 2 perisporiums, and aperture is zero, and the second upper cavity 142 and the first upper cavity 141 are in connected state not, and now refrigerant flow is zero.
When the rotation of valve rod 2 with screw mandrel 4 moves up, communication port 31 apertures of fairlead 3 sidewalls increase, and the second upper cavity 142 and the first upper cavity 141 are communicated with by communication port 31, with reference to figure 5-1, are the aperture schematic diagram of communication port 31 shown in figure.
When valve rod 2 continues to be moved upwards up to communication port 31 standard-sized sheet with screw mandrel 4 rotations, as shown in Figure 6, now refrigerant flow reaches maximum.
Particularly, when the maximum flow area of the communication port 31 of fairlead 3 sidewalls is greater than the circulation area of valve port 13, the maximum of refrigerant flow depends on the circulation area of valve port 13.The starting stage of moving on valve rod 2, refrigerant flow is determined by the aperture of communication port 31, while moving on to certain position on valve rod 2, the circulation area of communication port 31 equates with valve port 13 circulation areas, now refrigerant flow reaches maximum, even if valve rod 2 moves on continuing, the aperture of communication port 31 continues to increase, because the circulation area of valve port 13 is certain, so no longer include variation by the refrigerant flow of valve port 13.
When the maximum flow area of the communication port 31 of fairlead 3 sidewalls is less than the circulation area of valve port 13, refrigerant flow depends on the aperture of communication port 31, during the aperture standard-sized sheet of communication port 31, refrigerant flow reaches maximum, corresponding with the maximum flow area of communication port 31.
When the maximum flow area of the communication port 31 of fairlead 3 sidewalls equals the circulation area of valve port 13, refrigerant flow still depends on the aperture of communication port 31.
In actual production, conventionally using the circulation area of valve port 13 as the foundation of flow adjustment range, so preferably can make the maximum flow area of communication port 31 be more than or equal to the circulation area of valve port 13; Certainly, also can make the maximum flow area of communication port 31 be less than the circulation area of valve port 12, only need make an explanation.
In above-described embodiment, valve port 13 is arranged on valve seat body 11, valve port 13 can also be arranged on fairlead 3.Please refer to Fig. 7, Fig. 7-1 and Fig. 7-2, Fig. 7 is the structural representation of fairlead in the second embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 7-1 is the generalized section of fairlead in Fig. 7; Fig. 7-2 are the structural representation that comprises the electric expansion valve of fairlead in Fig. 7.
As shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 7-1, in the second embodiment, valve port 13 ' is located at fairlead 3 ’ lower ends, and other structures of fairlead 3 ' are identical with the fairlead 3 in the first embodiment; Fairlead 3 ’ upper ends are still provided with and press-fit step 3 ' 3, can interference fit with the inner chamber of valve seat body 11, also can be welded and fixed; Fairlead 3 inside, ’ upper end are still provided with the supine cannelure 3 ' 2 of step, for placing sealing ring 8; The sidewall of fairlead 3 ' is still provided with communication port 3 ' 1.
The external diameter of valve rod 2 is still greater than the internal diameter of valve port 13 ', and when valve rod 2 complete shut-down, the end face of valve rod 2 and valve port 13 ' form sealing, and its sealing surface is 131 ', as shown in Fig. 7-2.
The step assembling of fairlead 3 ’ lower ends and valve seat body 11, can interference press-fiting also can be by being welded and fixed.Obviously, the sealing of the step of fairlead 3 ’ lower ends and valve seat body 11, to prevent refrigrant leakage.
