Description

  The present invention relates to a female screw member, an electric valve using the female screw member, and a method for manufacturing the female screw member of the electric valve.

  As an electric valve used for refrigerant flow control or the like in a refrigeration cycle system, Patent Document 1 includes a drive mechanism that contacts and separates a valve body from a valve seat using rotation of a rotor of an electric motor. There has been proposed a motor-operated valve in which when the valve shaft holder is closed, the upper stopper body fixed to the valve shaft holder collides with the lower stopper body fixed to the guide bush, and the rotation downward movement of the valve shaft ends. In the fully open direction, this motorized valve employs a screw unscrewing structure in which the valve shaft holder is finally disengaged from the guide bush fixed to the valve body and the upward movement of the valve shaft is completed.

  However, the fully open screw unscrewing structure such as the motor-operated valve cannot be adopted for a motor-operated valve having a configuration in which the screwing between the valve shaft holder and the guide bush cannot be released.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 2 includes a valve portion including a valve seat, a valve body, and the like, and a stepping motor portion that is located above the valve portion and contacts and separates the valve body from the valve seat by rotation of a rotor. In addition, there has been proposed an electric control valve provided with a fully open stopper and a fully closed stopper above the rotor in the sealed case.

  However, in the above-mentioned electric control valve, since the full opening / closing stopper is located above the rotor, the total length of the electric control valve becomes long and the number of parts used for the full opening / closing stopper increases, and the assembly workability of the valve deteriorates. However, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases. Further, if such a full opening / closing stopper is to be installed in the rotor, it is necessary to reduce the outer diameter of the valve shaft holder in order to provide an installation space, and accordingly, a coil spring for biasing the valve body It is difficult to secure the installation space. For this reason, it has been difficult to reduce the size of the motor-operated valve while maintaining a large valve diameter.

  Therefore, the present applicant has proposed a motor-operated valve in Patent Document 3 that has a small number of parts, is easy to assemble, and can maintain a large valve diameter even when downsized. As shown in FIG. 13, the motor-operated valve is disposed inside a valve main body 55 including two conduits 52 and 53 and a valve seat 54, a can 56 joined to the valve main body 55, and the can 56. A rotor 57 that constitutes a part of the electric motor, a stator (not shown) that is fixed to the outer periphery of the can 56, and that rotates the rotor 57, and a male screw member that is integrally connected to the rotor 57 via a support ring 59. (Valve shaft) 60, a lower end portion is fixed to the valve body 55 via a joining ring 65, and a female screw member (valve shaft holder) 61 in which the male screw member 60 is inserted, and the lower end portion of the male screw member 60 are locked. And a valve body 62 or the like that contacts and separates from the valve seat. 13A shows a cross-sectional view when fully closed, and FIG. 13B shows a cross-sectional view when fully opened. FIG. 13C and FIG. 14 show the female screw member 61 integrally formed with the joining ring 65.

  With the above configuration, when the motor-operated valve 51 is closed, for example, when the stator is energized and energized in one direction in the state of FIG. 13B, the rotor 57 rotates in the clockwise direction as viewed from above, and the male screw member 60 also The male screw 60a is rotated and lowered while being screwed with the female screw 61a, the valve body 62 is seated on the valve seat 54, and the motor-operated valve 51 is closed.

  At the time when the valve body 62 is seated on the valve seat 54, the fully closed upper stopper portion 59a does not reach the fully closed lower stopper portion 61d, and the rotor 57 is further rotatable. When the rotor 57 further rotates clockwise when viewed from above, and the fully closed upper stopper portion (fully closed movable stopper) 59a contacts the fully closed lower stopper portion (fully closed fixed stopper) 61d, the rotation of the rotor 57 is forced. Stopped. Each of the fully-closed stopper portion 59a and the fully-closed stopper portion 61d has a contact surface in the rotation direction around the central axis of the female screw 61a.

  Further, when the valve body 62 is seated on the valve seat 54, the movement of the valve body 62 is stopped, but the male screw member 60 is further lowered, so that the coil spring 64 is compressed and presses the valve body 62 against the valve seat 54, The operation ends with the posture shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the motorized valve 51 is opened, for example, in the state of FIG. 13A, when the stator is energized in the opposite direction to the energization, the rotor 57 rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above, and the male screw member 60. However, the male screw 60a rotates and rises while being screwed with the female screw 61a, the valve body 62 is separated from the valve seat 54, and the motor-operated valve 51 is opened. When the rotor 57 further rotates and the fully open stopper portion (fully open movable stopper) 67 contacts the fully open stopper portion (fully open fixed stopper) 61f, the rotation of the rotor 57 stops and the valve body 62 also stops rising. To do. Each of the fully open stopper portion 67 and the fully open stopper portion 61f has a contact surface (working surface) in the rotation direction around the central axis of the female screw 61a, and the contact surfaces contact each other when the two contact each other.

  As described above, according to the motor-operated valve 51, since the two stopper portions 61d and 61f that function when the motor-operated valve 51 is fully opened and fully closed are integrally formed on the female screw member 61, the motor-operated valve 51 can be downsized. In addition, the number of parts is reduced, and furthermore, since the two stopper portions 61d and 61f are integrally formed with the female screw member 61, the positional relationship between the two stopper portions 61d and 61f can be stabilized, and assemblability is improved.

  However, in the motor-operated valve 51 described in Patent Document 3, as shown in FIG. 15, the joining ring 65 is insert-molded so that the female screw member 61 and the joining ring 65 are one core 70 (colored portion in the figure). If it tries to manufacture using, the fully open stopper part 61f will become an undercut, and the core 70 cannot be rotated. That is, after forming the female screw member 61, even if the core 70 is rotated to be taken out downward, the fully open stopper portion 61f exists, so the core 70 cannot be rotated and cannot be taken out downward. .

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, in addition to the upper die 71 and the lower die 72, two cores 73 and 74 (the core 73 for forming the female screw 61a and the large diameter formed continuously to the female screw 61a). After fixing the core 73 to the core 74, the core 73 is disposed inside the upper mold 71 and the lower mold 72, and the joining ring 65 is inserted. After the molding, the core 74 and the core 73 are removed in this order, that is, after the core 74 is pulled out or removed by rotating the core 73 while being pulled out, thereby removing the undercut of the fully open stopper portion 61f. By avoiding this, the female thread portion 61a can be formed. However, even in that case, since it is difficult to match the cores between the cores 73 and 74, a misalignment occurs between the female screw 61 a of the female screw member 61 and the cylindrical portion 61 c, and the male screw member 60 and There was a problem that a problem occurred when integrating.

  The female screw member 1 is different from the female screw member 61 (FIG. 13) because, as will be described later, since the inside of the female screw member 1 is formed by one core, an arc shape is formed between the female screw portion 1b and the cylindrical portion 1h. The internal thread part 1b and the cylindrical part 1h are connected only at the connecting part 1g including the fully open stopper part 1f.

  3 to 6 show a mold for forming the female screw member 1, and this mold is composed of an upper mold 11, a lower mold 12, and a single core 13. In FIG. 5, the core 13 is drawn as a lightly colored transparent body to make the drawing easier to see.

  The upper die 11 has a gap 11a for molding the female screw part 1b side (the upper side of the female screw part 1b and the cylindrical part 1h) of the female screw member 1 with the core 13, an injection port 11b for the resin R, and 1 When forming with one core 13, the lower surface of the female screw member 1 abuts on the upper surface 13 c of the core 13 except for the portion where the fully open stopper portion 1 f is formed so that the fully open stopper portion 1 f is not undercut. And a cylindrical extending portion 11c with a part cut away.

  As shown in FIG. 3, after the joining ring 2 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 12 b of the lower mold 12 using the above mold, the upper mold 11, the lower mold 12 and the core 13 are combined, and the inlet 11 b of the upper mold 11. Then, the resin R is injected and cured. Thereafter, the lower mold 12 is first removed, and then the core 13 is removed from the female screw member 1 while being rotated using the protrusions 13f. At this time, since the upper surface 13c and the side surface 13d of the core 13 are only in contact with the lower surface and the side surface of the fully open stopper portion 1f of the female screw member 1, the fully open stopper portion 1f is not undercut. Can be easily removed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the female screw member 1 manufactured as described above has the center of the female screw 1 a between the female screw portion 1 b and the cylindrical portion 1 h due to the presence of the extending portion 11 c of the upper mold 11. An arc-shaped gap 1e penetrating in the axial direction is formed, and the female screw portion 1b is in a cantilever shape connected to the cylindrical portion 1h only at the connecting portion 1g. The lower portion of the connecting portion 1g is formed such that the fully open stopper 1f protrudes from the end face of the female screw portion 1b, and its side surface is a contact surface of the fully open stopper 1f.

  When the female screw member 1 manufactured as described above is applied to the motor-operated valve as shown in FIG. 13, the fully open stopper portion 67 shown in FIG. 13 contacts the contact surface of the fully open stopper portion 1f. Then, the rotation of the rotor 57 is forcibly stopped, and the motor-operated valve 51 is fully opened.

  Next, a second embodiment of the female screw member according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  7 and 8 show a female screw member (valve shaft holder) manufactured according to the present embodiment, and this female screw member 31 has substantially the same configuration as the female screw member 61 shown in FIG. A female screw portion 31b in which 31a is screwed, a fully-closed stopper 31d protruding from the upper surface of the female screw portion 31b, and a cylindrical shape provided on the lower surface side of the female screw portion 31b and having a diameter larger than the screw diameter of the female screw 31a. A cylindrical portion 31h having a space 31j, a fully open stopper portion (full open fixing stopper) 31f projecting downward in the cylindrical space 31j, and a side opposite to the fully open stopper portion 31f with respect to the central axis of the female screw 31a. Another provided protrusion 31n and the like are provided, and the joining ring 32 is integrally provided on the cylindrical part 31h via the protrusion 31m.

  The height of the protruding portion 31n from the female screw portion 31b is lowered from the height of the fully open stopper portion 31f by a length that is half or less of the pitch of the female screw 31a.

  As will be described later, the female screw member 31 is different from the female screw member 61 in order to form the inside of the female screw member 31 with one core, so that the center of the female screw member 31 is between the female screw portion 31b and the cylindrical portion 31h. Two arc-shaped gaps 31e and 31p penetrating in the axial direction are formed, and the female screw portion 31b and the cylindrical portion 31h are connected only at two locations of the first connecting portion 31g and the second connecting portion 31q. is there.

  9 to 12 show a mold for molding the female screw member 31, and this mold is composed of an upper mold 41, a lower mold 42, and one core 43. In FIG. 10, the core 43 is depicted as a lightly colored transparent body to make the drawing easier to see.

  The upper die 41 has a gap 41a for forming the female screw 31b side (the upper side of the female screw 31b and the cylindrical portion 31h) of the female screw member 31 with the core 43, an injection port 41b for the resin R, 1 When forming with one core 43, the lower surface of the female screw member 31 is not undercut so that its lower surface is the upper surface of the core 43 except for the part that forms the fully open stopper portion 31f and the protruding portion 31n. It has half-cylinder cylindrical extending portions 41c and 41d that come into contact with 43c.

  The lower die 42 includes a gap 42a for molding the lower side of the cylindrical portion 31h of the female screw member 31 between the core 43 and a ring-shaped accommodation portion 42b for insert-molding the joining ring 32 on the upper surface. Prepare.

As shown in detail in FIG. 12, the core 43 has a male screw portion 43a for forming the female screw 31a of the female screw member 31 at an upper portion and an end portion on the cylindrical portion 31h side of the female screw portion 31b. An upper surface 43b, an upper surface 43c for forming the lower surface (protruding end surface) of the fully open stopper portion 31f of the female screw member 31, and a small protrusion 43w protruding from the upper surface 43c for forming the lower surface of the protruding portion 31n. , A side surface 43d for forming the inner vertical surfaces of the fully open stopper portion 31f and the protruding portion 31n, a columnar portion 43e for forming the cylindrical space 31j of the female screw member 31, and a protrusion extended to the lower end portion Article 43f.
In this example, the height of the small protrusion 43w is set to be equal to or less than half the pitch of the female screw 31a (that is, the pitch of the male screw portion 43a).

  9 and 10, after the joining ring 32 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 42 b of the lower mold 42, the upper mold 41, the lower mold 42, and the core 43 are combined. At that time, the core 43 is disposed such that the small protrusion 43w is positioned between the pair of half-cylindrical extending portions 41c and 41d of the upper mold 41.

  Thereafter, the resin R is injected from the injection port 41b of the upper mold 41 and cured. Thereafter, the lower mold 42 is first removed, and then the core 43 is removed from the female screw member 31 while being rotated using the protrusion 43f. At this time, since the height of the small protrusion 43w is set to be equal to or less than half the pitch of the female screw 31a, the upper surface of the small protrusion 43w can pass through the lower surface of the full-open stopper 31f when the core 43 rotates halfway. . That is, the fully open stopper portion 31f is not undercut, and the core 43 can be easily removed.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the female screw member 31 manufactured as described above has a female screw 31a between the female screw portion 31b and the cylindrical portion 31h due to the presence of the extending portions 41c and 41d of the upper die 41. Are both cantilever beams in which two arc-shaped gaps 31e and 31p penetrating in the central axis direction are formed, and the female screw portion 31b is connected to the cylindrical portion 31h at two locations of the first connecting portion 31g and the second connecting portion 31q. It has become a shape. The first connecting portion 31g is formed with a fully open stopper 31f, and the second connecting portion 31q is formed with a protruding portion 31n.

  Thus, since the female screw member 31 has a doubly-supported beam shape, the strength of the female screw member 31 is higher than that of the first embodiment.

  If the female screw member 31 manufactured as described above is applied to the motor-operated valve as shown in FIG. 13, the fully open stopper portion 67 shown in FIG. 13 contacts the contact surface of the fully open stopper portion 31f. Then, the rotation of the rotor 57 is forcibly stopped, and the motor-operated valve 51 is fully opened.

  In this embodiment, the connection between the female thread portion 31b and the cylindrical portion 31h is a doubly supported beam shape formed by two beams arranged at intervals of 180 degrees, and a protruding portion 31n is provided on the opposite side of the fully open stopper 31f. Although provided, the height of the projecting portion 31n is lower than the fully open stopper 31f by half or less of the pitch of the female screw 31a. Therefore, even when applied to the motor operated valve of FIG. If the position (height) of the female screw member 31 in the center axis direction is correctly managed with respect to the fully open stopper 31f, the fully open stopper 67 comes into contact with the protruding portion 31n before coming into contact with the fully open stopper 31f. There is no fear of it.

  If the above-described position management can be performed more precisely, the small protrusion 43w is not provided (that is, the female screw member 31 is formed with the protruding portion 31n having the same height as the fully open stopper 31f. The female screw member 31 can also be configured.

  In the above description, the projecting portion 31n is described as being on the opposite side (180 degree position) of the fully open stopper 31f with the central axis of the female screw 31a as the center. However, the second connecting portion 31q is otherwise You may make it form in the position of this angle. In that case, the height of the protruding portion 31n provided in the second connecting portion 31q may be determined according to the protruding amount when the core 43 rotates and comes out.

  That is, the height of the protrusion 31n is such that the protrusion 31n (that is, the small protrusion of the core 43) moves in the axial direction while rotating (virtually) the female screw member 31 according to the threading of the female screw 31a. 43w) may be set so as not to interfere with the fully open stopper portion 31f that does not rotate.

  Further, as described above, when the protruding portion 31n is positioned on the opposite side of the fully opened stopper 31f, the height of the fully opened stopper 31f is set to ½ or less of the pitch of the female screw 31a to form the protruding portion 31n. May be omitted.

  Further, the female thread portion 31b and the cylindrical portion 31c are connected in a cantilever shape (one point support) or a double-end beam shape (two point support). In this case, the height of the protruding portion 31n is such that the protruding portion 31n moves when the female screw member 31 moves in the axial direction while rotating (virtually) in accordance with the threading of the female screw 31a as described above. However, what is necessary is just to set so that it may not interfere with the fully open stopper part 31f which does not rotate.

  Furthermore, the present invention is not only applied to the female screw member of the motor-operated valve, but also protrudes in the direction of the central axis of the female screw, a female screw portion in which the female screw is formed, a cylindrical portion having an inner diameter larger than the outer shape of the female screw portion, and As long as it is a female screw member provided with a working surface, it can be applied to any part or product.

  Of course, the simultaneous molding of the ridge ring 2 is not necessary unless it is necessary in the motor-operated valve to which the female screw member is applied.
