Background
For a new energy vehicle, functional areas such as a three-electrical system and a passenger cabin have clear requirements on temperature ranges, heat exchange media circulate among different loops in real time according to the requirements, and the functional areas can be in the target temperature ranges through heat exchange when the media flow through. For fuel vehicles, functional areas such as the engine, the gearbox and the passenger compartment also have clear requirements for temperature ranges.
An electronic water valve is arranged between the circulation loops as a device for controlling the flow direction or the flow rate of the medium. The electric control actuator is used as a power output mechanism and outputs driving torque to the electronic water valve to help the electronic water valve to realize the switching of working modes.
However, in practical use, the existing electric control actuator of the electronic water valve mainly has the following disadvantages:
1. the electric control actuator can only detect and control two extreme positions at two ends and cannot identify or stop at the middle position, so that the proportional adjustment cannot be realized. Correspondingly, the electronic water valve driven by the electronic water valve only has the opening, closing or reversing functions, cannot simultaneously open multiple ports, cannot realize proportional adjustment, and cannot accurately control the flow of media.
2. The electric control actuator collects position signals by using a contact principle (such as a potentiometer), and parts participating in contact friction have risks of excessive deformation, abrasion, poor contact and the like, so that signal deviation or loss is caused, and noise is generated at the same time.
3. The error generated by the electric control actuator during signal acquisition is directly counted into the total control error, so that the control precision of the electric control actuator is reduced.
4. The connecting parts of the bottom shell, the upper cover and other parts of the electric control actuator are not specially protected, so that the product has low protection performance or is complex to manufacture, and the application range of the product is limited.

A meshing transmission structure is formed between the worm 4 and the large transmission gear ring 51 on the transmission gear piece 5 so as to reduce speed and increase force, and power is transmitted to the transmission gear piece 5. A meshing transmission structure is formed between the small transmission gear ring 52 on the transmission gear piece 5 and the large signal gear ring 62 on the signal gear piece 6, and a meshing transmission structure is formed between the small signal gear ring 61 on the signal gear piece 6 and the output gear ring 91 on the output gear piece 9, so that a speed reduction transmission structure is formed between the signal gear piece 6 and the output gear piece 9, speed reduction and force increase are realized, and power is transmitted to the output gear piece 9, as shown in fig. 1 and 2.
As shown in fig. 1 and 11, a first hall sensor 12, a second hall sensor 13 and a third hall sensor 14 are fixedly mounted on the circuit connecting plate 11, the first hall sensor 12 and the second hall sensor 13 are respectively arranged below the magnetic ring 15 and the signal gear piece 6, and the third hall sensor 14 is arranged below the signal gear piece 6. The first hall sensor 12 is used for collecting N, S switching signals when the magnetic ring 15 rotates, and the second hall sensor 13 and the third hall sensor 14 are both used for collecting position signals of the permanent magnet 7.
The utility model discloses an automatically controlled executor of proportion regulation is at the during operation, is the rotary motion who controls motor 1 by main control unit 10 on the circuit connection board 11 to realize controlling the position of output gear 9. In particular, the amount of the solvent to be used,
as shown in fig. 12, when the permanent magnet 7 rotates with the signal gear piece 6, the positions of the second hall sensor 13 and the third hall sensor 14, which are located below the signal gear piece 6, relative to the permanent magnet 7 are changed, so that the magnetic field strengths received by the second hall sensor 13 and the third hall sensor 14 are changed; when the magnetic field strength reaches the rotary switch threshold value of the second hall sensor 13 or the third hall sensor 14, the position of the signal gear piece 6 is obtained, wherein the second hall sensor 13 and the third hall sensor 14 respectively detect a limit position. That is, when the permanent magnet 7 approaches the third hall sensor 14, the signal gear member 6 stops at one extreme position, and when the permanent magnet 7 approaches the second hall sensor 13, the signal gear member 6 stops at the other extreme position. Because the signal gear piece 6 and the output gear piece 9 are in meshing transmission, and the relative angles of the signal gear piece and the output gear piece have one-to-one correspondence, the proportional control electric actuator indirectly knows the position of the output gear piece 9, namely the limit position of the proportional control electric actuator is found out.
It should be noted that only one second hall sensor 13 or one third hall sensor 14 is used to collect the signal of the permanent magnet 7, and the function of identifying the extreme position of the proportional control electric actuator can also be realized. However, two groups of the second hall sensor 13 and the third hall sensor 14 are adopted simultaneously, so that the control logic of the proportional control electric actuator is tighter, and the logic error is prevented.
In the process of continuous rotation of the magnetic ring 15, the magnetic field state of the first hall sensor 12 located below the magnetic ring is constantly changed in a staggered manner according to N, S, wherein N is switched to S (or S to N) once, and then the signal received by the first hall sensor 12 is changed once, so that the first hall sensor 12 can indirectly know the rotating angle of the magnetic ring 15 (i.e. the output shaft of the motor 1 and the worm 4) according to the signal change times.
The permanent magnet 7 is matched with the second Hall sensor 13 and the third Hall sensor 14 to find two limit positions of the proportional control electric actuator, so that the proportional control electric actuator can realize the opening, closing or reversing functions of the electronic water valve. When the electronic water valve needs to stop at the middle position to realize the functions of simultaneous opening of multiple ports, proportion adjustment and the like, the motor 1 starts to rotate from the limit position, in the rotating process of the motor 1, the magnetic ring 15 and the first Hall sensor 12 continuously receive, refresh and record the real rotating angle of the motor 1 in real time, and when the magnetic ring 15 rotates to reach the target angle (the first Hall sensor 12 receives the signal change of the target times), the motor 1 stops rotating, so that the middle stop function of the electronic water valve is realized. Through worm 4 and the cooperation of transmission gear spare 5, can realize self-locking function, reverse strength can not make worm 4 rotatory, promptly, after the automatically controlled executor of proportion regulation reaches the target position, motor 1 keeps the position stable, even the external reverse application of rotary torque to output gear spare 9, also can not make the angle change of this automatically controlled executor of proportion regulation.
Because the proportion adjustment electric control actuator forms a determined transmission chain and has a certain reduction ratio, the angle rotated by the magnetic ring 15 is divided by the reduction ratio to be the angle rotated by the actuator. When the worm 4 of the first stage rotates by a certain angle, the rotation angle of the output gear member 9 of the final stage is the rotation angle of the worm 4 divided by the reduction ratio. For example, in the proportional control electric actuator of the electronic water valve, the reduction ratio is generally 300-500, and if the worm 4 (i.e. the magnetic ring 15) of the first stage rotates 90 ° or is identified by the first hall sensor 12, the output gear member 9 of the final stage can theoretically reach the highest resolution of 0.3 ° or 90 °/300, so that high-precision control is realized. In addition, because the permanent magnet 7 assembly for collecting the extreme position signal is arranged on the non-output gear piece and the signal gear piece 6 at the penultimate stage in the embodiment, when the same collection error is generated, the collection error is reduced by times according to a certain reduction ratio due to the certain reduction ratio between the non-output gear piece and the output gear piece 9, so that the precision of the proportional control electric actuator for identifying the extreme position is improved, the non-contact high-precision position detection is realized, the reliability is high, no noise is generated, the manufacturing difficulty is low, and the service life of the proportional control electric actuator is prolonged.
In order to improve the protection effect of the proportional control electric actuator and improve the application range of the proportional control electric actuator, an oil seal 3 can be arranged outside the output gear piece 9, and the oil seal 3 is fixedly arranged on the upper cover 2. Usually, a stepped hole 23 may be formed in the upper cover 2, the oil seal 3 is of a hollow annular structure, the oil seal 3 is press-fitted into the stepped hole 23 of the upper cover 2 in an interference fit manner, a static seal structure is formed between the outer circle of the oil seal 3 and the stepped hole 23 of the upper cover 2, and a dynamic seal structure is formed by sleeving the oil seal 3 and the raceway seal portion 93 of the output gear 9, so as to isolate the inner cavity of the proportional control electric actuator from the external environment.
The above description is only exemplary of the present invention and should not be taken as limiting, and all changes, equivalents, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be understood as being included in the scope of the present invention.
