请参阅图1至图2,图1为本申请一个实施方式中电子膨胀阀100的剖视示意图,图2为图1所示电子膨胀阀100在另一视角下的剖视示意图。
本申请提供一种电子膨胀阀100,本申请提供的电子膨胀阀100用以调节流体介质的流量及压力。
本实施方式中,电子膨胀阀100应用于空调系统中,流经电子膨胀阀100的流体介质为空调系统中用以进行冷热交换的冷媒。电子膨胀阀100在空调系统中是作为高压侧与低压侧的分界元件,电子膨胀阀100将高压液态冷媒节流降压,从而调节和控制进入蒸发器中的液态冷媒的剂量,进而使得液态冷媒的剂量能够适应外界制冷负载的要求。
可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,电子膨胀阀100还可以应用至冰箱等除空调系统之外的其他制冷系统中。
电子膨胀阀100包括阀体10、阀针组件20、丝杆组件30、套管40、转子组件50、导向套60以及定子组件(图未示)。阀针组件20、丝杆组件30、导向套60均安装于阀体10上;阀针组件20穿设于导向套60并连接于丝杆组件30的一端;丝杆组件30相对远离阀针组件20的一端连接于转子组件50;套管40安装于导向套60上;定子组件作用于转子组件50并能够在通电状态下驱动转子组件50转动。套管40与阀体10大致围设形成腔体,阀针组件20、丝杆组件30、转子组件50及导向套60均容置于该腔体内;定子组件设置在套管40的外部。
阀体10用以承载阀针组件20、丝杆组件30及导向套60;阀针组件20用以控制电子膨胀阀100的开启或关闭;丝杆组件30用以带动阀针组件20运动;套管40用以将外部环境与丝杆组件30及转子组件50隔离,从而保护丝杆组件30及转子组件50并避免介质泄露;转子组件50用以带动丝杆组件30运动;导向套60用于导向阀针组件20的往复滑动;定子组件用以驱动转子组件50旋转。
定子组件通电产生磁场并通过磁场力的作用驱动转子组件50转动,转子组件50带动丝杆组件30运动,阀针组件20在丝杆组件30的带动下往复滑动从而控制电子膨胀阀100开启或者关闭,从而完成电子膨胀阀100调节流体介质流量和压力调节的过程。
具体地,阀体10的内部中空并形成阀腔11,阀体10上固定设置有阀座12,阀座12上开设有阀口13,阀口13与阀腔11相互连通。
阀体10的两侧分别连接有介质进管101及介质出管102,流体介质通过介质进管101进入电子膨胀阀100的内部,再经过阀口13和介质出管102流出电子膨胀阀100。阀口13供阀针组件20伸入,从而阻断或者允许电子膨胀阀 100内的流体介质通过阀口13向外排出。
当阀针组件20封闭阀口13时,电子膨胀阀100关闭,介质进管101与介质出管102之间相互隔离;当阀针组件20解除对阀口13的密封时,电子膨胀阀100打开,介质进管101与介质出管102之间相互连通。
丝杆组件30包括丝杆31及套设在丝杆31上的螺母套32。丝杆31的一端连接于转子组件50,丝杆31的另一端连接于阀针组件20。螺母套32固定连接于导向套60并与丝杆31之间形成螺纹配合。
当转子组件50在定子组件的磁场力作用下转动时,与转子组件50相连接的丝杆31会跟随转子组件50同步转动;由于螺母套32的固定设置以及螺母套32与丝杆31之间的螺纹配合,丝杆31自身的转动会使得丝杆31不断旋入或者旋出螺母套32,从而使得丝杆31能够在自身的轴向上往复滑动。
套管40连接于导向套60,套管40与导向套60之间形成管腔41,管腔41用于容置转子组件50,并提供转子组件50以及丝杆31的运动空间。套管40将电子膨胀阀100的运动元件(转子组件50以及丝杆31)与外部环境相隔离,能够避免人员误触处于工作状态的这些运动元件,提高电子膨胀阀100的使用安全性能。
转子组件50包括转子51以及固定连接于转子51的连接座52。转子51由磁性材料制成,其能够在定子组件的磁力驱动作用下转动。连接座52上开设有第一通孔53,第一通孔53供丝杆31伸出从而实现连接座52与丝杆31之间的套设关系,以保证连接座52与丝杆31之间的精确定位,避免丝杆31歪斜。
在定子组件通电后,具体磁性的转子51在定子组件提供的磁场力矩的作用下转动,并通过连接座52带动丝杆31同步转动;丝杆31与螺母套32之间的螺纹配合将丝杆31的旋转运动转化为丝杆31在轴向上的伸缩运动,从而带动与丝杆31相连接的阀针组件20在轴向上位移,达到密封阀口13或者解除对阀口13密封的目的,进而控制电子膨胀阀100开启或关闭。
导向套60套设阀针组件20,其用于引导阀针组件20在电子膨胀阀100的轴线方向上运动,以保证阀针组件20能够顺利对准和嵌入阀口13内。
本实施方式中,导向套60承载套管40,套管40通过导向套60连接于阀体10从而实现套管40与阀体10之间的定位和准直。可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,套管40也可以直接连接于阀体10,此时套管40通过与阀体10之间的直接接触实现在阀体10上的定位和准直。
在传统的电子膨胀阀中,丝杆与连接座之间一般直接焊接在一起。在后续的维护过程中或者在大批量生产时,一旦需要解除丝杆与连接座之间的焊接状态,就会破坏丝杆或者连接座,操作不当时甚至会将两者一同破坏。
由于需要保证在高速转动下与螺母套之间螺纹配合性能,丝杆的结构非常精密,这导致丝杆的造价相对高昂。同时连接座为了保证与转子组件之间的固定连接性能,一般会采用粉末冶金工艺生产,连接座的造价也同样高昂。因此丝杆或者连接座的破坏会导致整个电子膨胀阀的维护成本和成产成本高昂,不利于电子膨胀阀推广和应用。
请一并参阅图3至图5,图3为图1所示电子膨胀阀100省略部分结构后的结构示意图,图4为图3所示电子膨胀阀100的拆解示意图,图5为图3所述电子膨胀阀100中连接座52的结构示意图。
本申请提供的电子膨胀阀100,通过设置与丝杆31固定连接的固定帽70,利用固定帽70承受连接座52与丝杆31之间的固定连接关系。由于固定帽70体型较小,材料损耗较少,造价十分低廉,因此电子膨胀阀100在批量生产而出现不合格产品时,就可以通过拆除丝杆31与固定帽70的配合,利用破坏固定帽70来回收具有高价值的丝杆31以及连接于丝杆31的转子组件50,这有利于降低维护和生产上的成本。
具体地,丝杆31包括第一端311以及第二端312,第一端311与第二端312之间相背离设置;丝杆31的第一端311通过第一通孔53从连接座52以及 转子组件50所围设形成的腔体内部伸出,丝杆31的第二端312连接于阀针组件20。
固定帽70固定连接于丝杆31的第一端311,并与连接座52之间形成止转连接。
转子51在定子组件磁场力的作用下发生转动时,转子51的回转运动首先传递至与转子51固定连接的连接座52上,并通过连接座52与固定帽70之间的止转连接将回转运动传递至固定帽70上,最后通过固定帽70与丝杆31之间的固定连接将回转运动传递至丝杆31上,从而完成转子组件50带动丝杆31回转的运动传递过程。
需要说明的是,固定帽70与丝杆31的第一端311之间的固定连接,既可以采用焊接的形式,也可以采用胶固、铆接等除焊接之外的其他固定连接方式;固定帽70与连接座52之间的止转连接,既可以通过在连接座52上设置能够卡设固定帽70的挡板来实现,也可以通过固定帽70与连接座52之间在套设时的异形配合来实现,还可以通过固定帽70与连接座52之间的焊接、铆接、螺接、键连接以及胶固等方式来实现。
本申请并不限制固定帽70与丝杆31的第一端311之间固定连接的具体形式,也不固定帽70与连接座52之间实现止转连接的具体结构,只要固定帽70与第一端311之间相互固定,并且连接座52能够将转子组件50提供的回转运动传递至固定帽70处即可。
固定帽70作为居中部件分别连接丝杆31与连接座52,这避免了丝杆31与连接座52之间的直接焊接,释放了连接座52与丝杆31之间的固定配合关系。电子膨胀阀100在需要维护,或者在大批量生产时因为质量问题而需要拆解回收时,只需要对加工难度低、成本低廉的固定帽70进行破坏,即可回收造价高昂的丝杆31以及连接座52。这能够降低电子膨胀阀100的生产维护成本和提升产品的性价比,增强产品在市场上的竞争力。
在本申请的一个实施方式中,固定帽70与丝杆31的第一端311之间焊接固定。此时固定帽70与丝杆31的第一端311具有较佳的连接可靠性,整个电子膨胀阀100的工作寿命较久。
当然,固定帽70与丝杆31的第一端311之间也可以铆接固定。固定帽70与丝杆31的第一端311之间的铆接固定,可以避免固定帽70与丝杆31之间的直接焊接。
由于行业内连接座52常采用不锈钢材料通过粉末冶金工艺制备而成,此时的连接座52在焊接时受到高温影响极容易氧化变黑,这导致一些漏焊的位置很容易被黑色的氧化层覆盖,造成操作人员在根据自身经验视检焊缝质量时的难度提升。而固定帽70与丝杆31的第一端311之间采用铆接固定,能够避免漏焊的发生,有助于提高电子膨胀阀100的产品质量。
请一并参阅图6,图6为图1所示电子膨胀阀100在A处的放大示意图。丝杆31的外侧面上凸设有第一凸起313(也即第一凸起313的外径大于丝杆31的外径),第一凸起313抵持连接座52的一侧,固定帽70抵持连接座52的另一个侧面;第一凸起313与固定帽70相互配合并且抵持连接座52的两侧,从而将丝杆31轴向限位于连接座52上。
需要说明的是,第一凸起313与固定帽70相互配合并将丝杆31“轴向限位”于连接座52上,是指丝杆31的两端分别被第一凸起313以及固定帽70限位,这使得丝杆31与连接座52之间在丝杆31的轴向上不存在滑移,丝杆31并不能沿第一通孔53滑动。
丝杆31在连接座52上的轴向限位,使得丝杆31无论是沿远离阀针组件20的方向滑移,还是沿靠近阀针组件20的方向滑移,都可以稳定地连接于连接座52。这能够确保丝杆31的运动精确性,进而保证整个电子膨胀阀100的开阀性能;同时丝杆31的轴向限位也提升了丝杆31跟随连接座52同步转动时的运动稳定性,有助于保障整个电子膨胀阀100的顺利运行。以丝杆31上的第一凸 起313直接抵持连接座52来实现轴向限位,在安装上也更为便利。
当然,在不考虑运动稳定性与精确性的工况环境下,电子膨胀阀100也采用其他的方式实现连接座52与丝杆31之间的轴向限位,例如在丝杆31与连接座52之间直接胶固,丝杆31与连接座52之间过盈配合等方式来实现轴向限位。
本实施方式中,第一凸起313为圆环状。可以理解,第一凸起313还可以采用棱台状等除圆环状之外的其他形状。
需要说明的是,第一凸起313以及固定帽70对连接座52的抵持,既可以采用直接抵持的形式,也即第一凸起313及固定帽70与连接座52直接接触;也可以采用间接抵持的形式,也即第一凸起313及固定帽70通过中间过渡元件实现对连接座52的抵持。
在本实施方式中,第一凸起313直接抵持连接座52,固定帽70间接抵持连接座52。
在本申请的一个实施方式中,固定帽70包括第一套设部71、第二套设部73以及设置于第一套设部71与第二套设部73之间的抵接部72;抵接部72的一端连接于第一套设部71,另一端连接于第二套设部73。第一套设部71与第二套设部73大致沿丝杆31的轴向延伸,抵接部72大致沿丝杆31的径向延伸,第一套设部71、抵接部72以及第二套设部73形成阶梯状分布。
连接座52在相对远离阀针组件20的一侧(也即相对靠近固定帽70的一侧)凸设有第二凸起54,第一通孔53同时贯穿连接座52以及第二凸起54,第二凸起54与连接座52均通过第一通孔53套设丝杆31。
本实施方式中,第二凸起54与连接座52之间一体成型。可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,第二凸起54与连接座52之间还可以采用分体结构;此时第二凸起54与连接座52之间可以通过焊接、铆接、胶固等方式相互固定。
第二凸起54上具有大致沿丝杆31的径向延伸的端面541以及大致沿丝 杆31的轴向延伸的外侧面542。固定帽70上的第一套设部71套设丝杆31的第一端311,抵接部82抵持第二凸起54的端面541,第二套设部73套设第二凸起54的外侧面542。
固定帽70采用套设的方式可以在保证自身在丝杆31以及第二凸起54上定位准确性的同时,兼顾安装的便捷性,同时也能够提升与丝杆31以及连接座50的连接稳定性;并且在需要破坏固定帽70的场合下,固定帽70可以通过自身在丝杆31上的套设关系快速从丝杆31上分离开,这同样提升了拆装时的便捷性。
可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,固定帽70也可以采用卡接等方式来保持自身与丝杆31以及第二凸起54之间的相互定位;此时固定帽70卡接在丝杆31或者第二凸起54上,再分别通过安装工艺实现与丝杆31之间的固定连接以及与第二凸起54的止转连接。
在本申请的一个实施方式中,第二凸起54呈异形,也即第二凸起54的外侧面542采用非圆柱面的形状;对应地,固定帽70的第二套设部73的内腔也为异形腔,也即第二套设部73的内部围设为非圆柱面的形状。固定帽70通过第二套设部73套设第二凸起54的外侧面542,并通过第二套设部73与第二凸起54之间的异形配合形成止转连接。
本实施方式中,第二凸起54呈四棱柱状,第二凸起54的外侧面542为四棱柱的外侧面(包括四个相接的矩形面);固定帽70的第二套设部73的内部围设为四棱柱的外侧面形状。
可以理解,在其他的实施方式中,第二凸起54与第二套设部73还可以采用三棱柱、五棱柱、椭圆柱、半圆柱等除四棱柱之外的其他形状,只要第二凸起54与第二套设部73之间能够相互配合并形成止转连接即可。
如此设置,电子膨胀阀100无需额外设置挡板等额外的部件,仅依靠第二凸起54与第二套设部83之间的形状配合即可直接形成止转连接。第二凸起 54与第二套设部73之间的异形配合提高了电子膨胀阀100的结构紧凑性和运行稳定性。
在本申请的一个实施方式中,电子膨胀阀100还包括止动件80,连接座52上开设有对应于止动件80的第二通孔55,止动件80通过第二通孔55从转子组件50与连接座52所围设形成的腔体内伸出,并连接于连接座52。
止动件80用于止挡丝杆组件30,从而对连接于丝杆31的转子组件50的极限位置进行限定。丝杆组件30还包括止挡圈33,止挡圈33呈螺旋状并绕设在螺母套32的外侧。
止挡圈33与止动件80相互配合,止挡圈33限定了转子组件50以及丝杆31在上下两端的极限位置。
止档圈33的大部分呈螺旋线形状,止档圈33相对远离固定帽70的一端固定连接于导向套60并且延伸到止档圈33螺旋线轨迹的外部;当止动件80运动至自身的下限位置时,止动件80接触止档圈33相对远离固定帽70的端部并且因为运动干涉而停止自身的运动。此时与止动件80相连接的转子组件50同步停止运动,从而实现止档圈33对转子组件50下限位置的限制。
止档圈33相对靠近固定帽70的一端同样延伸到止档圈33螺旋线轨迹的外部;当止动件80运动至自身的上限位置时,止动件80接触止档圈33相对靠近固定帽70的端部并且停止自身的运动。此时与止动件80相连接的转子组件50同步停止运动,从而实现止档圈33对转子组件50上限位置的限制。
止动件80包括杆体81以及连接于杆体81上的套环82,杆体81相对远离固定帽70的一端容置于转子组件50与连接座52所围设形成的腔体内,另一端通过第二通孔55伸出转子组件50与连接座52所围设形成的腔体。杆体81能够与止档圈33的两个端部配合从而限位转子组件50的上限位置与下限位置。
杆体81伸出连接座52的一端形成上述的套环82,套环82套设第二凸起54的外侧面542并且设置于连接座52与固定帽70之间;固定帽70抵持套环 82,并通过套环72作用于连接座52,从而将套环82压紧至连接座52上。
此时套环82在固定帽70的压紧作用下能够紧贴连接座52,能够避免套环82与连接座52之间的分离,进而提高电子膨胀阀100的运行稳定性。
进一步地,套环82的内壁呈异形,也即套环82的内壁为非圆环面,套环82同时与固定帽70以及第二凸起54的外侧面542之间通过异形配合形成止转连接。
套环82与第二凸起54之间以异形配合形成止转连接,使得套环82无需通过焊接、铆接等额外工艺即可实现与连接座52的稳固连接,杆体81在受到止挡圈33的止挡时能通过套环82与第二凸起54之间的止转连接将停止作用传递至连接座52、转子51以及丝杆31上。同时套环82直接套装至第二凸起54上,在安装便捷性上有极大的提升。
在本申请的一个实施方式中,套环82为封闭的环形;或者,套环82为开设有缺口的环形,此时套环82的横截面大致呈“C”形。
当套环82采用封闭环形时,套环82的加工成本较低,适合大批量生产。当套环82采用带有缺口的环形结构,套环82因为缺口的存在自身的可变形程度较高,能够匹配更大尺寸范围的第二凸起54,在安装上的便捷性进一步提升。
请一并参阅图7,图7为本申请第二个实施方式中电子膨胀阀100省略部分结构后的立体拆解示意图。
本申请第二个实施方式与本申请第一个实施方式中的所不同的是,第二凸起54a的外侧面542a向外延伸并形成台阶部56a,台阶部56a位于连接座52a与第二凸起54a之间。
此时止动件80a中的套环82a自第二通孔55a中伸出并套设第二凸起54a的外侧面,且套环82a的内壁面为圆环面,台阶部56a的外侧面为圆柱面,套环82a套设台阶部56a。此时套环82a与台阶部56a之间通过焊接、铆接、胶固等方式相互固定。
如此设置,套环82a能够较为容易的生产,电子膨胀阀100的生产成本较低。
请一并参阅图8,图8为本申请第三个实施方式中电子膨胀阀100省略部分结构后的立体拆解示意图。
本申请第三个实施方式与本申请第二个实施方式中的所不同的是,本申请中第三个实施方式中的第二通孔55b与杆体81b的形状相匹配,从而更好地限位杆体81b。
本申请提供的电子膨胀阀100,通过设置与丝杆31固定连接的固定帽70,利用固定帽70承受连接座52与丝杆31之间的固定连接关系。由于固定帽70体型较小,材料损耗较少,造价十分低廉,因此电子膨胀阀100在批量生产而出现不合格产品时,就可以通过拆除丝杆31与固定帽70的配合,利用破坏固定帽70来回收具有高价值的丝杆31以及连接于丝杆31的转子组件50,这有利于降低维护和生产上的成本。
以上所述实施例的各技术特征可以进行任意的组合,为使描述简洁,未对上述实施例中的各个技术特征所有可能的组合都进行描述,然而,只要这些技术特征的组合不存在矛盾,都应当认为是本说明书记载的范围。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本申请的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对申请专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本申请的保护范围。因此,本申请专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
