Description

本発明は、ヒートポンプ式冷暖房システム等に使用するのに好適な電動弁に係り、特に、流体が双方向(第1の方向とその逆の第2の方向)に流され、かつ、少なくとも一方向には大流量が流される流路に対応した電動弁に関する。   The present invention relates to a motor-operated valve suitable for use in a heat pump type air conditioning system or the like, and in particular, a fluid is flowed in both directions (a first direction and a second direction opposite thereto) and at least one direction. Relates to a motor-operated valve corresponding to a flow path through which a large flow rate flows.

この種の電動弁として、従来、例えば、弁室、該弁室に開口する横向きの第1入出口、前記弁室に開口する縦向きの弁口、及び該弁口に連なる第2入出口を有する弁本体と、前記弁口を開閉すべく前記弁室に昇降可能に配在された弁体と、該弁体を昇降させるための電動モータを有する昇降駆動手段と、前記弁体を開弁方向に付勢する開弁ばねと、を備えたものが考えられている。   Conventionally, as this type of electric valve, for example, a valve chamber, a lateral first inlet / outlet opening in the valve chamber, a vertical valve port opening in the valve chamber, and a second inlet / outlet connected to the valve port are provided. A valve body having a valve body disposed in the valve chamber so as to be able to be raised and lowered, an elevating drive means having an electric motor for raising and lowering the valve body, and opening the valve body A thing provided with the valve-opening spring biased in the direction is considered.

また、かかる電動弁において、前記弁口の口径と前記弁体の上方に画成される背圧室の室径とを略同一に設定するとともに、弁口ないし第2入出口と前記背圧室とを連通させるべく、前記弁体を上下に貫通するように均圧通路を設け、弁口ないし第2入出口の圧力を前記均圧通路を介して背圧室に導入することにより、閉弁状態において弁体に作用する押し下げ力(閉弁方向に働く力)と押し上げ力(開弁方向に働く力)とをバランス(差圧をキャンセル)させ、もって、より小さなばね荷重の開弁ばねを使用できるようにして、電動弁の小型化、大容量化、省電力化等を図ろうとしたものも考えられている(例えば特許文献1参照)   In the motor-operated valve, the diameter of the valve opening and the diameter of the back pressure chamber defined above the valve body are set substantially the same, and the valve opening or the second inlet / outlet and the back pressure chamber are set. In order to communicate with the valve body, a pressure equalizing passage is provided so as to penetrate up and down the valve body, and the valve opening or the second inlet / outlet pressure is introduced into the back pressure chamber through the pressure equalizing passage, thereby closing the valve. In the state, the balance between the push-down force (force acting in the valve closing direction) acting on the valve body and the push-up force (force acting in the valve opening direction) is canceled (the differential pressure is canceled). It is also considered that the motorized valve can be used to reduce the size, increase the capacity, and save power (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開2000-320711号公報JP 2000-320711 A

しかしながら、前記特許文献1に所載の電動弁のように、弁口の口径と背圧室の室径とを略同一に設定するとともに、差圧をキャンセルすべく弁体を上下に貫通するように均圧通路を設けたものにおいては、流体が第1の方向(第1入出口→第2入出口)に流される場合は、開弁時において弁体を押し下げる力よりも弁体を押し上げる力が上回り、弁体には上方向荷重が発生し、流体が第2の方向(第2入出口→第1入出口)に流される場合は、開弁時に均圧通路を介して背圧室に大きな動圧が印加されるので、開弁時において弁体を押し上げる力よりも弁体を押し下げる力が上回り、弁体に下方向荷重が発生し、流体が第1の方向に流されるときと第2の方向に流されるときとでは、開弁時に弁体に作用する荷重の方向が変化する。この場合、下方向荷重は、弁体を閉弁方向に押し下げる力となるので、より小さなばね荷重の開弁ばねを使用できるようにするには、流体が第2の方向に流されるときにおいても、上方向荷重(開弁方向に働く力)が発生するようになすことが望まれる。   However, like the motor-operated valve described in Patent Document 1, the diameter of the valve port and the chamber diameter of the back pressure chamber are set to be substantially the same, and the valve body is vertically penetrated to cancel the differential pressure. When the fluid flows in the first direction (first inlet / outlet → second inlet / outlet), the force that pushes up the valve body rather than the force that pushes down the valve body when the valve is opened. When an upward load is generated on the valve body and fluid flows in the second direction (second inlet / outlet → first inlet / outlet), the valve is opened to the back pressure chamber via the pressure equalizing passage when the valve is opened. Since a large dynamic pressure is applied, the force that pushes down the valve body is greater than the force that pushes up the valve body when the valve is opened, a downward load is generated on the valve body, and the fluid flows in the first direction. When flowing in the direction of 2, the direction of the load acting on the valve body when the valve is opened changes. In this case, the downward load is a force that pushes down the valve body in the valve closing direction. Therefore, in order to be able to use the valve-opening spring with a smaller spring load, even when the fluid is flowed in the second direction, It is desirable that an upward load (a force acting in the valve opening direction) is generated.

本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、その目的とするところは、流体が第1の方向のみならず第2の方向に流されるときにおいても、上方向荷重(開弁方向に働く力)が発生するようにし得、もって、より小さなばね荷重の開弁ばねを使用できるようにして、小型化、大容量化、省電力化等を図ることのできる電動弁を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. The object of the present invention is to apply an upward load (acting in the valve opening direction) when the fluid flows in the second direction as well as the first direction. It is an object of the present invention to provide a motor-operated valve that can be reduced in size, increased in capacity, saved in power, and so on by using a valve-opening spring having a smaller spring load. .

前記の目的を達成すべく、本発明に係る電動弁は、基本的には、弁室、該弁室に開口する横向きの第1入出口、前記弁室に開口する縦向きの弁口、及び該弁口に連なる第2入出口を有する弁本体と、前記弁口を開閉すべく前記弁室に昇降可能に配在された弁体と、該弁体を昇降させ前記弁口を開閉して前記第1入出口からの流体の流れと前記第2入出口からの流体の流れを制御するための電動モータを有する昇降駆動手段と、前記弁体を開弁方向に付勢する開弁ばねと、を備え、前記弁口の口径と前記弁体の上方に画成される背圧室の室径とが略同一に設定され、前記弁体内に、前記弁口ないし第2入出口と前記背圧室とを連通させるべく直線状の均圧通路が設けられ、該均圧通路を下方に延長するように細径の均圧導管が下向きに突設され、該均圧導管は下端が閉じられるとともに、前記背圧室に前記弁口ないし第2入出口から実質的に静圧のみを導入するように前記第2入出口の流体の流れ方向と直交する側面に開口が形成されていることを特徴としている。 In order to achieve the above object, the motor-operated valve according to the present invention basically includes a valve chamber, a first lateral inlet / outlet opening in the valve chamber, a vertical valve port opening in the valve chamber, and A valve body having a second inlet / outlet connected to the valve port; a valve body disposed in the valve chamber so as to be movable up and down to open and close the valve port ; and raising and lowering the valve body to open and close the valve port. a lift driving means having an electric motor order to control the flow of fluid from the fluid of the flow and second inlet and outlet from the first inlet and outlet, the valve opening spring for urging the valve body in the opening direction And a diameter of the valve opening and a chamber diameter of a back pressure chamber defined above the valve body are set to be substantially the same, and the valve body or the second inlet / outlet and the valve body are formed in the valve body. A linear pressure equalizing passage is provided to communicate with the back pressure chamber, and a small-diameter pressure equalizing conduit projects downward so as to extend the pressure equalizing passage downward. The homogeneous conduit together with the lower end is closed, said valve port to the second side surface substantially perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow of the second inlet and outlet to introduce only the static pressure from the inlet and outlet to the back pressure chamber It is characterized in that an opening is formed .

本発明に係る電動弁では、流体が例えば第1の方向に流される場合は、従来のものと同様に、開弁時において弁体を押し下げる力よりも弁体を押し上げる力が上回り、弁体には上方向荷重が発生する。   In the motor-operated valve according to the present invention, when the fluid is flowed, for example, in the first direction, the force that pushes up the valve body is higher than the force that pushes down the valve body when the valve is opened, as in the conventional valve. Generates an upward load.

それに対し、流体が、第2の方向に流される場合は、開弁時において背圧室には弁口ないし第2入出口に開口する側面開口から取り込まれる静圧のみが印加され、動圧は印加されないので、この第2の方向流れ時においても、開弁時において弁体を押し下げる力よりも弁体を押し上げる力が上回り、弁体には、第1の方向流れ時よりも小さいが上方向荷重が発生する。   On the other hand, when the fluid flows in the second direction, only the static pressure taken from the side opening that opens to the valve port or the second inlet / outlet is applied to the back pressure chamber when the valve is opened, and the dynamic pressure is Even when the flow in the second direction is not applied, the force for pushing up the valve body exceeds the force for pushing down the valve body at the time of opening the valve, and the valve body has a smaller upward direction than the flow in the first direction. A load is generated.

このように、第1の流れ方向時だけでなく、第2の流れ方向時においても、弁体に上方向荷重が発生するようにされることにより、より小さなばね荷重の開弁ばねを使用できるようになり、その結果、小型化、大容量化、省電力化等を図ることができる。   Thus, not only in the first flow direction but also in the second flow direction, an upward load is generated on the valve body, so that a valve opening spring with a smaller spring load can be used. As a result, downsizing, large capacity, power saving, and the like can be achieved.

The number of teeth of the fixed ring gear 47 is different from the number of teeth of the output gear 45.

前記出力歯車45には出力軸46が固着されている。この出力軸46の上部に設けられた穴に支持軸49の下部が挿通されており、該支持軸49に前記キャリア44、太陽歯車41(ロータ支持部材56)が挿通されている。   An output shaft 46 is fixed to the output gear 45. A lower portion of the support shaft 49 is inserted through a hole provided in the upper portion of the output shaft 46, and the carrier 44 and the sun gear 41 (rotor support member 56) are inserted through the support shaft 49.

支持部材48はキャン58の内径とほぼ同一径を有しており、キャン58内部において、該キャン58の上部とロータ支持部材56との配置されている。そして前記支持軸49の上部は、前記支持部材48の中心部に設けられた穴に挿通されている。   The support member 48 has substantially the same diameter as the inner diameter of the can 58, and the upper portion of the can 58 and the rotor support member 56 are arranged inside the can 58. The upper portion of the support shaft 49 is inserted into a hole provided in the center portion of the support member 48.

前記減速機構40の出力軸46は、前記めねじ付き軸受部材15の上部に回転自在に嵌挿され、この出力軸46の回転が、前記軸受部材15に設けられためねじ15iに螺合するおねじ17eが設けられたおねじ付き回転昇降軸17に伝達される。出力軸46の下部にはスリット状嵌合部46aが設けられ、回転昇降軸17には前記スリット状嵌合部46aに摺動自在に嵌合する板状部17aが突設されており、出力軸46が回転すると、前記めねじ15iとおねじ17eによるねじ送りにより回転昇降軸17が回転しながら昇降せしめられる。   The output shaft 46 of the speed reduction mechanism 40 is rotatably inserted in the upper part of the bearing member 15 with a female thread, and the rotation of the output shaft 46 is provided in the bearing member 15 and is screwed into the screw 15i. The screw 17e is transmitted to a rotary elevating shaft 17 with a male thread. A slit-like fitting portion 46a is provided at the lower portion of the output shaft 46, and a plate-like portion 17a that is slidably fitted to the slit-like fitting portion 46a is provided on the rotary elevating shaft 17 so as to project. When the shaft 46 rotates, the rotary elevating shaft 17 is raised and lowered while rotating by the screw feed by the female screw 15i and the male screw 17e.

回転昇降軸17の下方には、該回転昇降軸17の下方への推力がボール18、ボール受座19を介して伝達される段付き筒状の推力伝達部材23が配在されている。なお、ボール18を介在させていることにより、回転昇降軸17が回転しながら下降しても、回転昇降軸17から推力伝達部材23へは下方への推力のみが伝達され、回転力は伝達されない。   A stepped cylindrical thrust transmission member 23 is disposed below the rotary elevating shaft 17 so as to transmit the thrust downward of the rotary elevating shaft 17 via the ball 18 and the ball seat 19. Since the ball 18 is interposed, only the downward thrust is transmitted from the rotary lift shaft 17 to the thrust transmission member 23 even if the rotary lift shaft 17 is lowered while rotating, and no rotational force is transmitted. .

推力伝達部材23は、上から順に、内周に前記ボール受座19が嵌め込まれた大径上部23a、前記筒状保持部材14の隔壁14cに摺動自在に挿通せしめられた中間胴部23b、該中間胴部23bより小径の小径下部23cからなっており、その内部には、後述する均圧通路32の上部を構成する貫通孔32d及び後述する背圧室30に開口する複数個の横孔32eが設けられている。なお、貫通孔32dの上端開口はボール受座19により閉塞されている。   The thrust transmission member 23 includes, in order from the top, a large-diameter upper portion 23a in which the ball seat 19 is fitted on the inner periphery, and an intermediate body portion 23b that is slidably inserted into the partition wall 14c of the cylindrical holding member 14. The intermediate body portion 23b is formed of a small-diameter lower portion 23c having a diameter smaller than that of the intermediate body portion 23b. 32e is provided. The upper end opening of the through hole 32d is closed by the ball seat 19.

推力伝達部材23の小径下部23cは、弁体20の上部嵌合穴20dに圧入等により嵌合固定されており、弁体20と推力伝達部材23は一体に昇降せしめられる。弁体20の上端面と推力伝達部材23の中間胴部23bの下端段差部との間には、前記小径下部23c圧入時において押さえ部材24が挟み込まれて固定されており、この押さえ部材24と弁体20の上端部に設けられた環状溝と前記弁体ガイド穴14bとの間にはOリング等のシール部材38が装着されている。   The small diameter lower portion 23c of the thrust transmission member 23 is fitted and fixed to the upper fitting hole 20d of the valve body 20 by press fitting or the like, and the valve body 20 and the thrust transmission member 23 are moved up and down integrally. A pressing member 24 is sandwiched and fixed between the upper end surface of the valve body 20 and the lower end step portion of the intermediate body portion 23b of the thrust transmission member 23 when the small diameter lower portion 23c is press-fitted. A seal member 38 such as an O-ring is mounted between the annular groove provided at the upper end of the valve body 20 and the valve body guide hole 14b.

また、筒状保持部材14の隔壁14cより上側のばね室14aには、圧縮コイルばねからなる開弁ばね25がその下端を隔壁14cに当接させた状態で配在されるとともに、この開弁ばね25の付勢力(引き上げ力)を推力伝達部材23を介して弁体20に伝達すべく、上下に鍔状引っ掛け部28a、28bを有する引き上げばね受け体28が配在されている。引き上げばね受け体28の上引っ掛け部28aは、開弁ばね25の上に乗せられ、下引っ掛け部28bは推力伝達部材23の大径上部23aの下端段差部を掛止するようになっている。   A valve opening spring 25 made of a compression coil spring is disposed in the spring chamber 14a above the partition wall 14c of the cylindrical holding member 14 with its lower end in contact with the partition wall 14c. In order to transmit the urging force (lifting force) of the spring 25 to the valve body 20 via the thrust transmission member 23, a lifting spring receiving body 28 having hook-like hook portions 28a and 28b on the upper and lower sides is arranged. The upper hooking portion 28 a of the pulling spring receiving body 28 is placed on the valve opening spring 25, and the lower hooking portion 28 b is configured to hook the lower end step portion of the large-diameter upper portion 23 a of the thrust transmission member 23.

したがって、モータ50(ロータ57)が一方向に回転せしめられるときには、前記めねじ15iとおねじ17eによるねじ送りにより回転昇降軸17が回転しながら例えば下降せしめられ、回転昇降軸17の推力により、推力伝達部材23及び弁体20が開弁ばね25の付勢力に抗して押し下げられ、最終的には弁体20の弁体部20aが弁座締切部8aに着座して弁口9が閉じられる。それに対し、モータ50(ロータ57)が他方向に回転せしめられるときには、前記めねじ15iとおねじ17eによるねじ送りにより回転昇降軸17が回転しながら例えば上昇せしめられ、それに伴い推力伝達部材23及び弁体20が開弁ばね25の付勢力によって引き上げられて、弁体部20aが弁座締切部8aからリフトして弁口9を開く。   Therefore, when the motor 50 (rotor 57) is rotated in one direction, the rotary elevating shaft 17 is lowered, for example, while being rotated by the screw feed by the female screw 15i and the external screw 17e. The transmission member 23 and the valve body 20 are pushed down against the urging force of the valve opening spring 25. Finally, the valve body portion 20a of the valve body 20 is seated on the valve seat shut-off portion 8a and the valve port 9 is closed. . On the other hand, when the motor 50 (rotor 57) is rotated in the other direction, for example, the rotary elevating shaft 17 is raised while being rotated by screw feed by the female screw 15i and the male screw 17e, and accordingly, the thrust transmission member 23 and the valve The body 20 is pulled up by the urging force of the valve opening spring 25, and the valve body portion 20a is lifted from the valve seat shut-off portion 8a to open the valve port 9.

前記弁体20の上方で押さえ部材24と筒状保持部材14の隔壁14cとの間には、背圧室30が画成されている。ここでは、閉弁状態において弁体に作用する押し下げ力(閉弁方向に働く力)と弁体に作用する押し上げ力(開弁方向に働く力)とをバランス(差圧をキャンセル)させるべく、背圧室30の室径と弁口9の口径とは略同一に設定されている。また、第2入出口12と背圧室30とを連通させるべく、弁体20内に均圧通路32の一部を構成する貫通孔32cが設けられている。   A back pressure chamber 30 is defined between the pressing member 24 and the partition wall 14 c of the cylindrical holding member 14 above the valve body 20. Here, in order to balance (cancel the differential pressure) the push-down force (force acting in the valve-closing direction) acting on the valve body in the valve-closed state and the push-up force (force acting in the valve-opening direction) acting on the valve body, The diameter of the back pressure chamber 30 and the diameter of the valve port 9 are set to be substantially the same. In addition, a through hole 32 c constituting a part of the pressure equalizing passage 32 is provided in the valve body 20 in order to allow the second inlet / outlet 12 and the back pressure chamber 30 to communicate with each other.

また、前記弁体20の弁体部20aには、前記均圧通路32の一部(最下部)を構成する細径の均圧導管22の直管部22a上部が圧入等により固定されている。均圧導管22は、弁体部20aの最下面20eより下方に突出せしめられており、その直管部22aの下端面開口が逆円錐状栓部材22bで閉じられるとともに、直管部22aの下端周壁部に複数個の側面開口32a、32aが形成されて側方のみが開口せしめられている。   Further, an upper portion of the straight pipe portion 22a of the small-diameter pressure equalizing conduit 22 constituting a part (lowermost portion) of the pressure equalizing passage 32 is fixed to the valve body portion 20a of the valve body 20 by press fitting or the like. . The pressure equalizing conduit 22 is projected downward from the lowermost surface 20e of the valve body 20a, and the lower end surface opening of the straight pipe portion 22a is closed by the inverted conical plug member 22b, and the lower end of the straight pipe portion 22a. A plurality of side openings 32a and 32a are formed in the peripheral wall portion, and only the sides are opened.

したがって、本実施例では、第2入出口12と背圧室30とを連通させる均圧通路32は、下から順に、均圧導管22の下端周壁に設けられた側面開口32a、32a、均圧導管22の内部通路32b、弁体20内部の貫通孔32c(弁体20の上部嵌合穴20dの下部を含む)、推力伝達部材23内の貫通孔32d、及び背圧室30に開口する複数個の横孔32eで構成される。   Therefore, in the present embodiment, the pressure equalizing passage 32 for communicating the second inlet / outlet 12 and the back pressure chamber 30 is, in order from the bottom, side openings 32a and 32a provided in the lower peripheral wall of the pressure equalizing conduit 22, The internal passage 32b of the conduit 22, the through hole 32c inside the valve body 20 (including the lower part of the upper fitting hole 20d of the valve body 20), the through hole 32d in the thrust transmission member 23, and a plurality of openings that open to the back pressure chamber 30. It consists of a number of horizontal holes 32e.

上記のように第1実施例の電動弁1では、閉弁状態において弁体20に作用する押し下げ力(閉弁方向に働く力)と押し上げ力(開弁方向に働く力)とをバランス(差圧をキャンセル)させるべく、背圧室30の室径と弁口9の口径とが略同一に設定されるとともに、弁体20内に第2入出口12と背圧室30とを連通させるべく直線状の均圧通路32(32c)が設けられるとともに、該均圧通路32を下方に延長するように細径の均圧導管22が下向きに突設され、該均圧導管22(直管部22a)の下端開口が閉じられて側方のみが開口せしめられているので、開弁時において背圧室30には側面開口32a、32aから取り込まれる静圧のみが印加され、動圧は印加されない。すなわち開弁時には、弁の先端には全圧(静圧と動圧)が加わるが、背圧室内には静圧のみが加わることになるため、次のような作用効果が得られる。   As described above, in the motor-operated valve 1 according to the first embodiment, the balance between the push-down force (force acting in the valve closing direction) acting on the valve body 20 and the push-up force (force acting in the valve opening direction) in the valve-closed state is the difference (difference). In order to cancel the pressure), the diameter of the back pressure chamber 30 and the diameter of the valve port 9 are set to be substantially the same, and the second inlet / outlet 12 and the back pressure chamber 30 are communicated with each other in the valve body 20. A straight pressure equalizing passage 32 (32c) is provided, and a small-diameter pressure equalizing conduit 22 projects downward so as to extend the pressure equalizing passage 32 downward, and the pressure equalizing conduit 22 (straight pipe portion) is provided. Since the lower end opening of 22a) is closed and only the side is opened, only the static pressure taken in from the side openings 32a and 32a is applied to the back pressure chamber 30 when the valve is opened, and no dynamic pressure is applied. . That is, when the valve is opened, total pressure (static pressure and dynamic pressure) is applied to the tip of the valve, but only the static pressure is applied to the back pressure chamber, so that the following effects can be obtained.

流体(冷媒)が図の実線矢印で示される如くに第1の方向(第1入出口11→第2入出口12)に流される場合は、従来のものと同様に、開弁時において弁体20を押し下げる力よりも弁体20を押し上げる力が上回り、弁体20には上方向荷重が発生する。   When the fluid (refrigerant) flows in the first direction (first inlet / outlet 11 → second inlet / outlet 12) as shown by the solid line arrows in the figure, the valve body is opened when the valve is opened, as in the conventional case. The force that pushes up the valve body 20 exceeds the force that pushes down the valve body 20, and an upward load is generated in the valve body 20.

それに対し、流体(冷媒)が図の破線矢印で示される如くに、第2の方向(第2入出口12→第1入出口11)に流される場合は、開弁時において背圧室30には側面開口32a、32aから取り込まれる静圧のみが印加され、動圧は印加されないので、この第2の方向流れ時においても、開弁時において弁体20を押し下げる力よりも弁体20を押し上げる力が上回り、弁体20には、第1の方向流れ時よりも小さいが上方向荷重が発生する。   On the other hand, when the fluid (refrigerant) flows in the second direction (second inlet / outlet 12 → first inlet / outlet 11) as indicated by the broken line arrows in the figure, the back pressure chamber 30 is opened when the valve is opened. Since only the static pressure taken in from the side openings 32a and 32a is applied, and no dynamic pressure is applied, the valve body 20 is pushed up more than the force that pushes down the valve body 20 when the valve is opened even in the flow in the second direction. The force is increased, and an upward load is generated in the valve body 20 although it is smaller than that in the flow in the first direction.

このように、第1の流れ方向時だけでなく、第2の流れ方向時においても、弁体に上方向荷重が発生するようにされることにより、より小さなばね荷重の開弁ばね25を使用できるようになり、その結果、小型化、大容量化、省電力化等を図ることができる。   Thus, not only in the first flow direction but also in the second flow direction, an upward load is generated on the valve body, so that the valve-opening spring 25 with a smaller spring load is used. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size, increase the capacity, and save power.

図3は、本発明に係る電動弁の参考例の閉弁状態を示す。この参考例の電動弁2においては、第1実施例の電動弁1の各部に対応する部分には共通の符号を付してそれらの重複説明を省略し、相違点を重点的に説明する。 FIG. 3 shows a closed state of a reference example of the electric valve according to the present invention. In the motor-operated valve 2 of the reference example, portions corresponding to the respective portions of the motor-operated valve 1 of the first embodiment are denoted by common reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted, and differences will be mainly described.

この参考例の電動弁2では、弁体20に第1実施例のような均圧通路32が設けられておらず、弁体20及び弁室7(弁本体5)外に均圧通路33が設けられている。この均圧通路33は、第2入出口12の周壁部分に横向きに開口する横孔33aと、大部分が外部に配在され、その上辺部が筒状基体6を挿通せしめられて筒状保持部材14の隔壁14cより下側に挿入固定された例えばコ字状の導管34の内部通路33cと、この内部通路33c及び背圧室30に連なる、筒状保持部材14の隔壁14cより下側に設けられた横孔33bとからなっている。 In the motor-operated valve 2 of this reference example, the pressure equalizing passage 32 as in the first embodiment is not provided in the valve body 20, and the pressure equalizing passage 33 is provided outside the valve body 20 and the valve chamber 7 (valve body 5). Is provided. The pressure equalizing passage 33 has a horizontal hole 33a that opens laterally in the peripheral wall portion of the second inlet / outlet 12 and most of the pressure equalizing passage 33 is arranged outside, and an upper side portion of the pressure equalizing passage 33 is inserted into the cylindrical base 6 and is held in a cylindrical shape. An internal passage 33c of, for example, a U-shaped conduit 34, which is inserted and fixed below the partition wall 14c of the member 14, and a lower side than the partition wall 14c of the cylindrical holding member 14 connected to the internal passage 33c and the back pressure chamber 30. It consists of a provided lateral hole 33b.

かかる均圧通路33が設けられていることにより、背圧室30には静圧しか印加されないので、本参考例の電動弁2においても、第1実施例のものと同様に、第1の流れ方向時だけでなく、第2の流れ方向時においても、弁体20に上方向荷重が発生するようにされ、そのため、より小さなばね荷重の開弁ばね25を使用できるようになり、その結果、小型化、大容量化、省電力化等を図ることができる。 Since only the static pressure is applied to the back pressure chamber 30 by providing the pressure equalizing passage 33, the motor-driven valve 2 of the present reference example also has the first flow as in the first embodiment. Not only in the direction but also in the second flow direction, an upward load is generated on the valve body 20, so that the valve-opening spring 25 with a smaller spring load can be used. Miniaturization, large capacity, power saving, and the like can be achieved.

なお、前記均圧通路33は特にコ字状である必要はなく、第2入出口12あるいは弁口9の側面と背圧室30とが連通すれば良い。   The pressure equalizing passage 33 is not particularly required to be U-shaped, and it is sufficient that the side surface of the second inlet / outlet 12 or the valve port 9 and the back pressure chamber 30 communicate with each other.

また、前述の説明においては、モータと弁体との間には遊星歯車機構が配置されるものとしたが、該機構を配置することなく、モータの出力をねじ機構を介して弁軸に直接伝達させるようにしても良い。   In the above description, the planetary gear mechanism is arranged between the motor and the valve body. However, without arranging the mechanism, the output of the motor is directly applied to the valve shaft via the screw mechanism. You may make it transmit.

さらに、弁体を駆動するアクチュエータはステッピングモータであるものとしたが、他の形態のモータでも良いことは当然である。   Furthermore, although the actuator for driving the valve body is a stepping motor, it is a matter of course that other types of motors may be used.

さらにまた、本発明の電動弁は、ヒートポンプ式冷暖房システムに適用されるだけではなく、他のシステムにも適用できることは言うまでもない。   Furthermore, it goes without saying that the motor-operated valve of the present invention can be applied not only to a heat pump air conditioning system but also to other systems.
