磁转子组件17能感应电磁线圈的电磁力而转动,磁转子组件17包括磁转子171以及与磁转子171固定连接或一体设置的连接板172,具体可以将连接板172作为嵌件,注塑成型磁转子171。丝杆阀芯组件18包括丝杆181,丝杆181与连接板172固定连接,这样,丝杆181通过连接板172与磁转子组件17连接成为一个整体,具体的,丝杆181与连接板172可以采用焊接的方式固定连接或者通过卡接、压接等其他固定连接或限位连接方式连接。止动杆173与磁转子组件17固定连接,并大体位于磁转子171所大致围成的区域。
丝杆阀针组件18包括丝杆181、阀芯182、阀芯套183、弹簧184、垫圈部185、挡圈部186、轴套部件187。丝杆181与阀芯182之间通过阀芯套183实现浮动连接,阀芯套183与阀芯182可以通过焊接的方式固定连接,丝杆181的底端固定连接有轴套部件187,两者可以通过焊接的方式固定连接。阀芯182至少有部分位于第一阀腔A(见下文),在电子膨胀阀工作时,阀芯182能在带动下相对阀口动作一定行程从而与阀口1121配合用于调节流量。即,在电子膨胀阀工作过程中,阀芯182可以相对阀口部112在一定的行程内上下移动以调节阀口1121的开度。在阀芯套183的上端面设置有挡圈部186以及垫圈部185,本实施例中的挡圈部186并不仅限于图示中的C形开口挡圈,也可以采用其它形状的开口挡圈替代;同理,本实施例中的垫圈部185,也不限于图示中的圆环形垫圈,也可采用能起到同样作用的其它挡圈替代,例如也可采用开口挡圈替代。弹簧184外套于丝杆181,具体地,弹簧184的一端与丝杆的上凸缘部1811相抵,弹簧184另一端与垫圈部185相抵,在弹簧184的作用下,垫圈部13与下凸缘部1812相抵。值得说明的是,弹簧14的一端与上凸缘部1811相抵,包括弹簧184的一端与上凸缘部1551直接相抵,也包括弹簧184的一端与上凸缘部1551间接相抵,例如弹簧184与上凸缘部1551之间另行设置有挡圈或者其他部件。轴套部件187的最大外径大于阀芯套183的中心通孔的最小内径,这样,在装配完毕后,阀芯182与丝杆181之间无法脱离,因弹簧184的作用,在阀芯182与阀口部抵接时,阀芯182与丝杆181可以作一定行程的相对运动。本文所述的脱离,是指套筒部183与丝杆181之间 分离成彼此没有任何限制的两个单独部件,而不仅仅指两者没有物理上的接触。
螺母组件19包括螺母191以及连接片192,螺母191与连接片192固定连接,连接片192可以由金属板冲压形成,螺母191通过金属制的连接片192与套管16和或连接件15固定设置,螺母191可以采用非金属材料以连接片192为嵌件经注塑成形,连接片192与连接件15可通过焊接的方式进行固定连接。当不设置连接件时,可以将连接片192与阀座11或套管通过焊接的方式固定连接。
螺母191具有沿其轴向贯通的通孔,螺母在设置该通孔的内侧壁设置内螺纹,与之相应的,丝杆181的外周面设置有相对应的外螺纹,这样当磁转子组件17转动时,丝杆181在螺纹副的作用下,在转动的同时,还相对螺母组件19作升降运动,从而带动阀芯182在一定范围内作升降运动。
螺母191的一部分的外缘部设置有弹簧导轨1911,弹簧导轨1911与螺母191固定连接或限位连接,使得弹簧导轨1911与螺母191在轴向方向和周向方向均实现相对定位,止动杆173随磁转子组件旋转,并带动滑环1912沿着弹簧导轨1911作螺旋滑动,螺母组件上设置有上止动部位和下止动部位,滑环1912能够与上止动部位抵接而停止转动,同时滑环1912能够与下止动部位抵接而停止转动。
电子膨胀阀包括引导部20,引导部20大体呈筒状,在本实施例中,其外周设置有第一外缘部201以及第二外缘部202,其中,第一外缘部201的外径小于第二外缘部202的外径,并且,第一外缘部201的外径与螺母191下端部的内孔相适应,这样,在装配时,螺母191套装在引导部20的上端,第一外缘部201可以对螺母的装配实现导向。第二外缘部202的外径与阀座11的部分内壁的内径相适应,在装配时可以实现导向,具体可以采用过盈压配等方式或者焊接的方式,使引导部20与阀座11固定连接。当然,本领域技术人员可以理解,本实施方式所示的第一外缘部201的外径小于第二外缘部202的外径,是基于阀座内孔的内径小于螺母下端部的内孔的内径设计而确定的,作为等同的替换方式,也可以将阀座内孔的内径设置为大于螺母下端部内孔的内径,或者将两者的内径设置为相同或者大致相同。引导部20的内部还设置有阀芯引导部203,阀芯引导部203与 阀芯182的外径相匹配,使得阀芯182的外缘面可以沿着阀芯引导部203移动,这样,在阀芯移动时,阀芯引导部203能够对阀芯提供良好的导向及径向支撑,可以相对减少因阀芯的摆动而造成阀口部位的异常磨损。需要说明的是,上述第一外缘部201、第二外缘部202、阀芯引导部203均为设置在引导部20表面的某一区域或某一部位,该区域或部位能够实现相应的导向功能,并非对引导部20的形状的限制。实际上引导部20可以根据螺母的尺寸、阀座的尺寸及形状,作出各种不同的适应性改变,只要包括了能对螺母实现导向的第一外缘部201、对阀座实现导向的第二外缘部202、对阀芯实现导向的阀芯引导部203即属于本发明实施例所记载的引导部。
引导部20至少有部分位于第一阀腔A,引导部除了能对阀芯实现导向外,其下端部改变了第一阀腔A的形状,能够对流入第一阀腔A的流体产生一定的影响,有助于进一步降低流体流动的噪音。
电子膨胀阀包括阀座11、阀体部件14、第一接管121、第二接管122,阀座11、阀体部件14、第一接管121、第二接管122通过焊接固定连接,具体地,阀座11与阀体141通过焊接固定连接,阀座11与第一接管121通过焊接固定连接,阀体141与第二接管122通过焊接固定连接。阀座11具有阀口部112,在阀口部112设置有阀口1121,电子膨胀阀具有第一阀腔A以及第二阀腔B,本申请中以阀口部112以上的阀腔、且与第一接管121的第一接口1211连通的部分为第一阀腔A,以阀座以下的阀腔、且与第二接管122的第二接口1221连通的部分为第二阀腔B,第一阀腔A与第二阀腔B能通过阀口1121连通,第一阀腔A位于阀口部112相对上方一侧,第二阀腔B位于阀口部112相对下方一侧,阀口1121的通径D小于第二接口1221的通径H2,第二接口1221的通径H2小于第二阀腔B的通径H1,第一接口1211的通径H3小于第二阀腔B的通径H1。本实施例中第二阀腔B不限于通径大小相同,如通径大小不同,第二阀腔B的通径H1指相对最大处的通径。在本实施方式中,第二阀腔B的通径H1与第一接口1211的通径H3、第二接口1221的通径H2,满足条件:H1≥1.3H3,H1≥1.3H2。
另外阀体141在其侧壁部1411还设置有向内的翻边部1412,以方便 与第二接管122配合连接。阀体141的材料可以采用不锈钢,如阀体由不锈钢板材或管材经拉伸或冲压或挤压加工形成。
有的系统可能需要电子膨胀阀能双向流动,本文中冷媒从第一接口向第二接口方向流动定义为第一流动方向,冷媒从第二接口向第一接口方向流动定义为第二流动方向,或者说冷媒从第一接管经第一阀腔、阀口、第二阀腔向第二接管方向流动定义为第一流动方向,冷媒从第二接管经第二阀腔、阀口、第一阀腔向第一接管方向流动定义为第二流动方向。
本实施例的阀口部112包括配合部1123和扩口部1124,配合部1123可以用于与阀针配合,并随着阀针的升降改变电子膨胀阀的通流面积。配合部1123可以是一个直段部,即沿着中心轴线方向,配合部1123的内径保持不变,这样便于加工,当然,也允许配合部1123设置为内径由上至下逐渐增大或者逐渐减小的锥台状,但一般锥角不超过5°,即配合部1123更接近于一个直段。其中,配合部1123相对于扩口部1124更靠近第一阀腔A,扩口部1124位于配合部1123的下方,且配合部1123和扩口部1124连续设置,可参考图5,图5为本实施方式的阀口部112的剖面视图。沿着中心轴线的由上至下的延伸方向,在阀口部的顶部保持平整状态的情况下,阀口部112的厚度从配合部1123的底部开始径向向外逐渐增大,即阀口部112在配合部1123的部位的壁厚相对最薄,沿着扩口部1124的向下延伸方向逐渐增大。这样,扩口部1124的靠近第一阀腔A一端的内径小于所述扩口部1124的靠近所述第二阀腔B一端的内径。
设配合部1123的高度为h1,扩口部1124的高度为h2,上文所述的阀口部112在配合部的壁厚也可以理解为即配合部1123的高度,阀口部112在扩口部的壁厚也可以理解为扩口部1124的高度,这样,h1<h2。需要说明的是,本说明书所述的“扩口”是针对阀口部的直径而言,沿着阀口部的中心轴线方向,阀口部的直径呈逐渐增大的趋势。需要说明的是,此处所述的逐渐增大的趋势是指,就阀口部的内径整体而言,靠近第二阀腔B处的内径一般会大于靠近第一阀腔A处的内径,但是,沿着自上而下的方向,允许在其中某一段内径变小,比如设置一条朝向阀口部内壁的凹槽等情况。h1的取值可以是0.15mm-0.45mm之间,甚至在0.25mm-0.35mm之间;h2的取值可以是2.5mm-4.5mm之间,甚至在3.0mm-4mm之间。扩口部1124 在图5所示的纵截面来看,大致呈喇叭状,沿着经过中心轴线的纵截面,扩口部1124的内壁部具有两条轮廓线,两条轮廓线为直线,定义其中一条内壁轮廓线的最高点为X2、最低点为X3,定义另一条内壁轮廓线的最高点为Y2、最低点为Y3,则X2与X3的连接线、Y2与Y3的连接线之间具有角度α,α的取值在40°-80°之间。这样,冷媒在第一流动方向流动时,冷媒经过配合部1123,经喇叭状的扩口部1124,有利于冷媒向周侧区域扩散,从而改善冷媒第一流动方向流动的噪音。即电子膨胀阀在阀口部112的通道空间包括配合部1123与阀芯形成的空间及扩口部1124与阀芯形成的空间,冷媒以第一流动方向流动时,先流经阀口1121,经扩口部1124,再进入第二阀腔B。
在本实施方式中,阀口部112还包括位于扩口部1124下方的凸出部1128以及位于阀口部112的整体的底部的尾部1129,以扩口部1124的锥台状内壁为基准,凸出部1128向中心轴线方向呈凸出状态。尾部1129可以设置为大体与扩口部1124处于同一延伸方向,换言之,可以理解为尾部1129是扩口部1124的延长,而凸出部1128则位于延长的扩口部的内壁,并向中心轴线方向凸出。当然,在图2所示的截面上,尾部1129并非一定在设置为与扩口部1124具有相同的夹角取值,经过申请人试验,尾部1129在该截面的延长线的角度在40°-80°之间即可,仍然能够保证较好的噪音控制效果。
需要说明的是,当h2的取值在2.5mm-4.5mm之间,且α的取值在40°-80°之间时,必然会对阀口部112的直径(或者可大致理解为第二阀腔B的通径)有所要求,而市场上通用的电子膨胀阀,没有设置第二阀腔,仅在阀口部上连接一根普通的接管(内径通常不会超过8mm),则受限于接管的内径,无法做到同时满足上述h2和α的取值。本实施方式中,由阀体部大致限定的第二阀腔H1的通径取值在9mm-30mm之间,甚至在11mm-14mm之间,在此基础上,可以方便地做到上述h2的取值以及α的取值。
本实施方式提供的阀口部结构,能够在一定程度上降低噪音,特别是第一流动方向的噪音测试结果相对较好,且更优于第二流动方向的噪音测试结果。
作为对上述第一实施方式的局部结构改变,可以改变扩口部1124的轮廓形状,请参照图6,图6是本申请另一种阀座结构的示意图,在此扩展实施例中,扩口部1124不再呈标准的锥面形状,其在纵截面的形状也不呈直线。如图12所示,以扩口部1124的高度为限,位于经过阀座中心轴线的纵截面,扩口部1124具有两条内壁轮廓线,两条轮廓线呈曲线状,图6是对其中一种曲线的示例,实际可以采用各种不同的曲线形状,或者多种曲线形状的组合、曲线和直线的组合等等。定义其中一条内壁轮廓线与配合部1123的交点为X2、最低点为X3,定义另一条内壁轮廓线与配合部1123的交点为Y2、最低点为Y3,则至少存在一个横截面Q1,该横截面Q1与扩口部1124的两条轮内壁轮廓线分别相交于X1、Y1两个点,连接X1和X2得到一条直线,连接Y1和Y2得到另一条直线,两条直线具有θ的角度,θ的角度满足条件:40°≤θ1≤80°。X1到X2在垂直方向的高度h4的取值满足:h4≥2.5mm。这种结构的阀座应用于第一实施方式也能够满足电子膨胀阀对噪音的要求。
第二实施方式
下面结图7-图10,说明本发明的第二实施方式。
请参照图7-图10,其中,图7为本申请提供第二种实施例的电子膨胀阀结构示意图;图8为第二实施例的阀座部件的剖视示意图;图9为图8的III部放大示意图,图10为又一种阀座部件的局部剖视示意图。
为了便于对本实施方式进行描述,特别是体现本实施方式与第一实施方式的不同,对于在技术方案中,与第一实施方式中具有相同的结构及功能的部件,采用同一附图标记,并进行简略描述,着重对于两者的不同点进行详细描述。
与第一实施方式相似,本实施方式的技术方案是对阀腔和阀口的结构进行改进以达到改善噪音的目的。对于电子膨胀阀的其他部件,如磁转子组件、螺母组件、止动装置等部件这里不作限制,本申请的技术方案并不对上述部件的结构进行特别限定,本领域技术人员根据本文披露的技术方案,可以将其应用于所有类似的电子膨胀阀结构。
本实施方式中的磁转子组件17、丝杆阀针组件18、连接件15、套管16、阀体部件14、螺母组件19、引导部20均可以采用与第一实施方式相 同的结构,在此不再赘述。
电子膨胀阀包括阀座11a、阀体部件14、第一接管121、第二接管122,阀座11a、阀体部件14、第一接管121、第二接管122通过焊接固定连接,具体地,阀座11a与阀体141通过焊接固定连接,阀座11a与第一接管121通过焊接固定连接,阀体141与第二接管122通过焊接固定连接。阀座11a具有阀口部112a,在阀口部112a设置有阀口1121a,电子膨胀阀具有第一阀腔A以及第二阀腔B,本申请中以阀口部112a以上的阀腔、且与第一接管121的第一接口1211连通的部分为第一阀腔A,以阀座以下的阀腔、且与第二接管122的第二接口1221连通的部分为第二阀腔B,第一阀腔A与第二阀腔B能通过阀口1121a连通,第一阀腔A位于阀口部112a相对上方一侧,第二阀腔B位于阀口部112a相对下方一侧,阀口1121a的通径D小于第二接口1221的通径H2,第二接口1221的通径H2小于第二阀腔B的通径H1,第一接口1211的通径H3小于第二阀腔B的通径H1。本实施例中第二阀腔B不限于通径大小相同,如通径大小不同,第二阀腔B的通径H1指相对最大处的通径。
本实施例的阀口部112a包括配合部1123a和扩口部1124a,配合部1123a可以用于与阀针配合,并随着阀针的升降改变电子膨胀阀的通流面积。配合部1123a可以是一个直段部,即沿着中心轴线方向,配合部1123a的内径保持不变,这样便于加工,当然,也允许配合部1123a设置为内径由上至下逐渐增大或者逐渐减小的锥台状,但一般锥角不超过5°,即配合部1123更接近于一个直段,下文以配合部1123a呈直线状进行说明。与第一实施方式不同的是,在配合部1123a的上方还设置有过渡部1122a。即过渡部1122a位于阀口部112a的相对顶部,配合部1123a、扩口部1124a依次位于过渡部1122a的下方,阀座11a为一体材料制成。如图8所示,沿着中心轴线的由上至下的延伸方向,阀口部112a的厚度在过渡部1122a逐渐减小,在配合部1123a基本保持不变,在扩口部1124a逐渐增大。此处所述的厚度逐渐增大,是指阀口部112a的厚度从配合部1123a的底部开始径向向外逐渐增大。设配合部1123a的高度为h1,扩口部1124a的高度为h2,过渡部1122a的高度为h3,上文所述阀口部112a在过渡部1122a的厚度也可以理解为过渡部1122a的高度,阀口部112a在配合部1123a的厚度 也可以理解为配合部1123a的高度,阀口112a在扩口部1124a的厚度也可以理解为扩口部1124a的高度。并且满足条件:h3<h1<h2。本说明书所述的“扩口”是针对阀口部的直径而言,沿着阀口部的中心轴线方向,从配合部1123a的底部开始,阀口部的直径呈逐渐增大的趋势。此处所述的逐渐增大的趋势是指,就阀口部的内径整体而言,靠近第二阀腔B处的内径一般会大于靠近第一阀腔A处的内径,但是,沿着自上而下的方向,允许在其中某一段内径变小,比如设置一条朝向阀口部内壁的凹槽等情况。
h1的取值可以是0.15mm-0.45mm之间,甚至在0.25mm-0.35mm之间;h2的取值可以是2.5mm-4.5mm之间,甚至在3.0mm-4mm之间;h3的取值可以是0.05mm-0.2mm之间,甚至在0.05mm-0.15mm之间。
扩口部1124a在图9所示的纵截面来看,大致呈喇叭状,且扩口部1124a的内壁部在位于该截面的延长线大至呈一个α的角度,α的取值为锐角,且在40°-80°之间。过渡部1122a由阀口部朝向第一阀腔A倒角而形成,且过渡部1122a与第一阀腔A相邻设置。由于过渡部1122a的高度较小,以放大图来看,截面形状可以是直线状,或者是曲线状。在图8所示的纵截面为例,过渡部呈直线的喇叭状,且过渡部1122a在位于该截面的延长线大至呈一个γ的角度,γ的取值为锐角,且在40°-80°之间。这样,冷媒在第一流动方向流动时,冷媒依次经过过渡部1122a、配合部1123a,经喇叭状的扩口部1124a,有利于冷媒向周侧区域扩散,从而改善冷媒第一流动方向流动的噪音。即电子膨胀阀在阀口部112的通道空间包括过渡部1122a、配合部1123a与阀芯形成的空间及扩口部1124a与阀芯形成的空间,冷媒以第一流动方向流动时,依次流经过渡部1122a、配合部1123a、扩口部1124a,再进入第二阀腔B。
作为对第二实施方式的局部改变,上述过渡部也不仅限于锥台状,即过渡部的纵截面不限于直线。请参照图10,图10是本实施例的另一种阀座结构局部剖视图,过渡部1122a1在纵截面的轮廓线呈曲线状,由于过渡部的高度h5仅在0.05mm-0.2mm之间,将其纵截面的直线改为圆弧状或曲线状的截面,并不会影响本实施例的技术效果。
与第一实施方式相似,当h2的取值在2.5mm-4.5mm之间,且α的取值在40°-80°之间时,必然会对阀口部112a的直径(或者可大致理解为第 二阀腔B的通径)有所要求,而市场上通用的电子膨胀阀,没有设置第二阀腔,仅在阀口部上连接一根普通的接管(内径通常不会超过8mm),则受限于接管的内径,无法做到同时满足上述h2和α的取值。本实施方式中,由阀体部大致限定的第二阀腔H1的通径取值在9mm-30mm之间,甚至在11mm-14mm之间,在此基础上,可以方便地做到上述h2的取值以及α的取值。
本实施方式提供的阀口部结构,能够在一定程度上降低噪音,特别是第二流动方向的噪音测试结果相对较好,且更优于第一流动方向的噪音测试结果。
第三实施方式
下面结图11-图12,说明本发明的第三实施方式。
请参照图11、图12,其中,图11为本申请提供第三种实施例的电子膨胀阀结构示意图;图12为图11的IV部放大示意图。
为了便于对本实施方式进行描述,特别是体现本实施方式与第一实施方式的不同,对于在技术方案中,与第一实施方式中具有相同的结构及功能的部件,采用同一附图标记,并进行简略描述,着重对于两者的不同点进行详细描述。
与第一实施方式相似,本实施方式的技术方案是对阀腔和阀口的结构进行改进以达到改善噪音的目的。对于电子膨胀阀的其他部件,如磁转子组件、螺母组件、止动装置等部件这里不作限制,本申请的技术方案并不对上述部件的结构进行特别限定,本领域技术人员根据本文披露的技术方案,可以将其应用于所有类似的电子膨胀阀结构。
本实施方式中的磁转子组件17、丝杆阀针组件18、连接件15、套管16、阀体部件14、螺母组件19、引导部20均可以采用与第一实施方式相同的结构,在此不再赘述。
本实施方式的阀座11也采用与第一实施方式相同的结构,包括阀口部112,且阀口部包括配合部1123和扩口部1124。与第一实施方式的差异在于,本实施方式还包括多孔部件21,多孔部件21至少大部分位于第一阀腔A,并且与阀座相对抵接或固定连接。此处所述的抵接,既包括直接抵接,也包括间接抵接,比如在多孔部件与阀座之间增加一个垫片即可视为 多孔部件与阀座间接抵接。多孔部件21呈两端开口状,可以采用金属球经烧结而成,比如使用铜制小球烧结成型,这种结构能够承受一定的压力而不会发生脱落、碎裂、分散等现象。具体在安装时,可以在阀座11的阀口部112的顶部,位于阀口的外侧设置一个环状的安装槽1125,安装时,先将多孔部件21的环状底部对准安装槽1125,然后再将引导部件20装入,通过设置预定的尺寸公差,使引导部件20与多孔部件21相抵接,并对多孔部件21施加一定的压力,从而将多孔部件21固定在阀座11上。当然,此处所述的抵接,也包括直接抵接或间接抵接,比如在多孔部件与引导部件之间增加一个垫片,即可视为多孔部件与引导部件间接抵接。由于安装槽1125的存在,多孔部件21不容易相对阀座发生偏移,从而使结构更加稳定。冷媒从第一接管流入第一阀腔A后,先经过多孔部件21,然后再进入阀口,流入第二阀腔B。
作为在本实施方式中的一个局部替代方案,也可以不在阀口的外侧设置环状的安装槽1125,而是直接将多孔部件21放置在阀口部的顶部,使筒状的部件21的环状底部直接与阀口部的顶部平面相抵接,通过在安装中对多孔部件21施加一定的压力,使多孔部件21发生一定的变形,以保证多孔部件21安装完毕后,在轴向不发生松动。多孔部件21可以采用铜制小球烧结成型,各铜制小球之间存在相对较强的结合力,也能够在发生一定形变的情况下不发生分散或脱落现象。或者,多孔部件21也可以采用不锈钢丝烧结成型,即只要能够形成多孔状的间隙能供冷媒通过即可。
在以上两种安装方式中,安装完毕后,轴向方向以多孔部件21的高度为限,第一阀腔A被多孔部件21分隔,第一阀腔A在多孔部件内部的空间通过阀口1121与第二阀腔A连通,第一阀腔A在多孔部件外部的空间与第一接口1211直接连通,第一接口1211与第二接口通过多孔部件21、阀口1121、第二阀腔B连通。
多孔部件21为铜球绕结成型,冷媒可以穿过多孔部件的各铜球之间形成的间隙,为了减少当杂质过多时将多孔部件堵死的现象,还可以进一步在多孔部件21上开设贯通其筒状壁部的贯通部211,贯通部211将多孔部件的内腔空间与外腔空间连通,这样可以降低多孔部件被杂质堵死的风险。图10所示的是贯通部211的示意图,贯通部211是设置在多孔部件顶端的 若干个缺口,这种结构的好处是,可以在烧结时直接成型,本领域技术人员应当理解,贯通部的具体结构并不局限于图11所示,只要能将多孔部件的壁部贯通即可,比如将贯通部211设置在多孔部件的底部,也可以采用缺口的方式,甚至采用在多孔部件的侧壁打孔的方式等等。
本实施方式提供的阀口部结构,能够在一定程度上降低噪音,并且第一流动方向和第二流动方向的噪音控制效果均相对较好。
上述三种实施方式描述的电子膨胀阀设置有两个阀腔,分别位于阀口部两侧,第一阀腔与第二阀腔能够通过阀口连通,使冷媒在第一流动方向节流时,冷媒节流后流出到第二阀腔,第二阀腔具有相对较大的空间,结合阀口部或者阀口部与多孔部件结合的设置,改变冷媒的流动方式和流动空间,从而改善冷媒的流动噪音。
上述各实施例描述的阀体,可以采用不锈钢材料经拉伸或挤压等加工形成,如采用板材或管材加工形成,这样可以使加工相对方便,并使阀体的壁厚小于1mm。本文中提及的通径,指其截面不限于是圆形的,如阀口的截面不限于圆形,还可以包括其他形状,如第二阀腔的通径,其截面也不限于圆形。第二接口的通径H2大于阀口1121的通径D,第二阀腔B的通径H1大于第二接管连通的第二接口的通径H2,第二阀腔B的通径H1大于第一接管用于连通的第一接口的通径H3,第二接管连通的第二接口的通径H2大于阀口1121的通径D。这里,通径相当于当量内径,即以该处的截面积转变为相同截面积的圆形时的内径值,或者说两者具有相同的截面积,这样具有相同的通流面积。阀体具有底壁部1413,底壁部1413到阀口部的距离L是第二接管122的通径H2的两倍以上,即第二阀腔B具有足够的高度,能够对流体噪音的减少具有一定的作用。
另外,作为另一种具体的实施方式,阀芯182包括调节部1821以及尖状部1822,调节部1821和尖状部1822大致位于阀芯182的底端,其中,尖状部1822位于调节部1821的下方。调节部1821的截面轮廓线大致呈平滑过渡的曲线状。阀芯182与阀口部112抵接而处于关阀状态时,调节部1821的外缘部与阀口部112接触,当电子膨胀阀开阀时,丝杆带动阀芯182上移,此时,调节部1821的外缘与阀口部112之间形成环状的间隙以供冷 媒通过,并且,随着阀芯182的逐渐上移,由于调节部1821的截面轮廓线呈平滑过渡的曲线,上述的环状间隙也会随之改变大小,并且流量大致呈等比例调节状态,以区别于本领域常用的锥台状阀芯的线性调节状态。需要说明的是,调节部的截面轮廓线可以是多条曲线组合而成。在调节部1821的底部设置有一体结构的尖状部1822,尖状部1822整体从调节部1821的底部向下凸出。尖状部1822改变了阀芯182与阀口部112之间所形成的环状间隙形状,相对于不设置尖状部的阀芯而言,能够填充一部分冷媒流通路径,减少冷媒在阀芯底部有可能出现涡流的可能性,有助于降低冷媒流动的噪音。需要说明的是,阀芯的结构可以应用至上述任一实施方式中,即包括调节部和尖状部的阀芯结构应用于任一实施方式的阀口部结构,以获得更好的噪音控制效果。
作为又一种具体的实施方式,还可以在上述三种实施例的基础上,对其中的阀座部件的结构进行进一步的改变,特别是对于阀口部的形状。请参照图13,图13是本发明第四实施方式的电子膨胀阀阀座结构示意图。需要说明的是,本实施方式是在第一实施方式的基础上改进而成,作为一个完整的实施方式,只需将图11所示的阀座部件替换第一实施方式的图1所示的阀座部件即可形成。为了使说明书不过于冗长,在本实施例中不再对除了阀座部件之外的其他电子膨胀阀零部件进行说明。同时,需要说明的是,本实施方式的阀座部件完全可以应用于第二实施方式或者第三实施方式,本领域技术人员可以理解,只需要将第二实施方式或者第三实施方式的技术方案中的阀座部件替换为本实施方式记载的阀座部件即可。因此,这些简单的排列组合所形成的新的技术方案也显然应当属于本发明的保护范围。
如图13所示,本实施例的阀座11b包括阀口部112b,阀口部112b包括配合部1121b和扩口部1122b,与第一实施方式不同的是,扩口部1122b一直延伸至阀口部112b的底端。如图13所示,沿着中心轴线的由上至下的延伸方向,阀口部112b的厚度在扩口部1122b逐渐增大。此处所述的厚度逐渐增大,是指阀口部112b的厚度从配合部1121b的底部开始径向向外逐渐增大。设配合部1121b的高度为h1,扩口部1122b的高度为h2,阀口部112b在配合部1121b的厚度也可以理解为配合部1121b的高度,阀口 112b在扩口部1122b的厚度也可以理解为扩口部1122b的高度。并且满足条件:h1<h2。本说明书所述的“扩口”是针对阀口部的直径而言,沿着阀口部的中心轴线方向,从配合部1122b的底部开始,阀口部的直径呈逐渐增大的趋势。
h1的取值可以是0.15mm-0.45mm之间,甚至在0.25mm-0.35mm之间;h2的取值可以是4.5mm-6.5mm之间,甚至在5.0mm-6mm之间。扩口部1122b在图13所示的纵截面来看,大致呈喇叭状,沿着阀口部112b的经过中心轴线的纵截面,扩口部1122b的内壁部具有两条轮廓线,两条轮廓线为直线,定义其中一条内壁轮廓线与配合部的交点为X2、最低点为X3,定义另一条内壁轮廓线与配合部的交点为Y2、最低点为Y3,则X2与X3的连接线、Y2与Y3的连接线之间具有角度α,所述角度α的取值满足:40°≤α≤80°。需要说明的是,当h2的取值在4.5mm-6.5mm之间,且α的取值在40°-80°之间时,必然会对阀口部112b的直径(或者可大致理解为第二阀腔B的通径)有所要求,而市场上通用的电子膨胀阀,没有设置第二阀腔,仅在阀口部上连接一根普通的接管(内径通常不会超过8mm),则受限于接管的内径,无法做到同时满足上述h2和α的取值。本实施方式中,由阀体部大致限定的第二阀腔H1的通径取值在9mm-30mm之间,甚至在11mm-14mm之间,在此基础上,可以方便地做到h2的取值以及α的取值。
这样,冷媒在第一流动方向流动时,冷媒依次经过配合部1121b,经喇叭状的扩口部1122b,有利于冷媒向周侧区域扩散,从而改善冷媒第一流动方向流动的噪音。即电子膨胀阀在阀口部112的通道空间包括配合部1121b与阀芯形成的空间及扩口部1122b与阀芯形成的空间,冷媒以第一流动方向流动时,依次流经配合部1121b、扩口部1122b,再进入第二阀腔B。
相对于本实施例的扩口部1122b,可以将第一实施方式、第二实施方式、第三实施方式记载的配合部理解为本实施方式的配合部,可以将第一实施方式、第二实施方式、第三实施方式记载的扩口部理解为本实施方式的扩口部1122b的一部分。在阀口部112b不设置凸出部的情况下,本实施例的阀座部件应用于电子膨胀阀时,经试验验证,不会导致噪音效果变差。
作为对第四实施方式的局部结构改变,可以改变扩口部1122b的轮廓 形状,请参照图14,图14是本申请另一种阀座结构的示意图,在此扩展实施例中,扩口部1122b不再呈标准的锥面形状,其在纵截面的形状也不呈直线。如图14所示,位于图示阀座的经过中心轴线的纵横面,扩口部1122b的内壁的轮廓线呈不规则的曲线状,在该纵截面,扩口部1122b具有两条内壁轮廓线,定义其中一条轮廓线与配合部的交点为X2、最低点为X3,定义其中另一条轮廓线与配合部的交点为Y2、最低点为Y3,以扩口部1122b的高度为限,至少存在一个横截面Q1,该横截面Q1与扩口部1122b的内壁的轮廓线相交于X1、Y2两个交点,连接X1和X2得到一条直线,连接Y1和Y2得到另一条直线,两条直线具有θ的角度,θ的角度满足条件:40°≤θ≤80°。X1到X2在垂直方向的高度h4的取值满足:h4≥2.5mm。这种结构的阀座应用于第一实施方式或者第二实施方式也能够满足电子膨胀阀对噪音的要求,限于篇幅,不再对本实施例的阀座应用于第二实施方式进行详细描述,即相当于在本实施的阀座上增加一个过渡部即可。需要说明的是,沿着阀口部的中心轴线方向,阀口部的直径呈逐渐增大的趋势,此处所述的逐渐增大的趋势是指,就阀口部的内径整体而言,靠近第二阀腔B处的内径一般会大于靠近第一阀腔A处的内径,但是,沿着自上而下的方向,允许在其中某一段内径变小,比如设置一条朝向阀口部内壁的凹槽等情况。
请参照图15,图15为本申请又一种阀座结构的实施例局部剖视图。在此扩展实施例中,位于图示阀座的经过中心轴线的纵横面,扩口部1122b的内壁的轮廓线呈连续的弧线状,在该纵截面,扩口部1122b具有两条内壁轮廓线,定义其中一条轮廓线与配合部的交点为X2、最低点为X3,定义其中另一条轮廓线与配合部的交点为Y2、最低点为Y3,以扩口部1122b的高度为限,至少存在一个横截面Q1,该横截面Q1与扩口部1122b的内壁的轮廓线相交于X1、Y2两个交点,连接X1和X2得到一条直线,连接Y1和Y2得到另一条直线,两条直线具有θ的角度,θ的角度满足条件:40°≤θ≤80°。X1到X2在垂直方向的高度h4的取值满足:h4≥2.5mm。而此时,扩口部的内壁轮廓线X2和X3的连线、Y2和Y3的连线具有α的角度,此时的X3、Y3相对更靠近阀座的外侧壁,α的角度会大于80°,但由于在扩口部的内壁轮廓线上存在X1、Y1,使得θ的角度满足条件: 40°≤θ≤80°,并且满足h4≥2.5mm,仍然具有降低噪音的效果。
这种结构的阀座应用于第一实施方式或者第二实施方式也能够满足电子膨胀阀对噪音的要求,限于篇幅,不再对本实施例的阀座应用于第二实施方式进行详细描述,即相当于在本实施的阀座上增加一个过渡部即可。需要说明的是,沿着阀口部的中心轴线方向,阀口部的直径呈逐渐增大的趋势,此处所述的逐渐增大的趋势是指,就阀口部的内径整体而言,靠近第二阀腔B处的内径一般会大于靠近第一阀腔A处的内径,但是,沿着自上而下的方向,允许在其中某一段内径变小,比如设置一条朝向阀口部内壁的凹槽等情况。
以上各实施方式中所记载的技术特征,在不发生冲突的基础上,可以互相进行排列组合,从而形成更多的实施例,限于篇幅,申请人不再一一罗列所有的排列组合方式,本领域技术人员应当理解,在不需要付出创造性劳动的情况下,这些简单的组合显然也属于本发明的保护范围。
需要说明的是,本文所提及的上、下、左、右等方位名词,均是以说明书附图作为基准,为便于描述而引入的;以及部件名称中的“第一”、“第二”等序数词,也是为了便于描述而引入的,并不意味着对部件的任何次序作出任何的限定,另外,由于上述实施例所提供的各零部件之间的某些部位的功能相同,故本说明书对这些部位采用统一命名的方式。以上对相关技术方案所提供的电子膨胀阀进行了详细介绍,本文中应用了具体实施例进行了阐述,以上实施例的说明只是用于帮助理解本发明的方法及其核心思想,并非对本发明作任何形式上的限制。
