需要注意的是,图1至图25均仅作为示例,其并非是按照等比例的条件绘制的,并且不应该以此作为对本发明实际要求的保护范围构成限制。
图1示出了本发明一个实施例中的汽车空调系统900。汽车空调系统900包括压缩机90,冷凝器91,电子膨胀阀92、94,蒸发器93,换热器95,泵96,电池模块97,用于制冷剂流动的管路以及用于冷却剂流动的管路。这些管路将汽车空调系统900的各个部分连通。
蒸发器93与电子膨胀阀92组成热管理组件。电子膨胀阀92安装在蒸发器93上,并与蒸发器93成为一体。蒸发器93具有蒸发器通道93a,蒸发器通道93a中流动有制冷剂。蒸发器通道93a与电子膨胀阀92连通。
换热器95与电子膨胀阀94组成热管理组件,电子膨胀阀94安装在换热器95上,并与换热器95成为一体。换热器95具有第一换热通道95a和第二换热通道95b;第一换热通道95a与第二换热通道95b互不连通。第一 换热通道95a中流动有制冷剂,第二换热通道95b中流动有冷却剂。第一换热通道95a与电子膨胀阀94连通,第二换热通道95b与设置泵96和电池模块97的回路连通。
在汽车空调系统900的工作过程中,电池模块97产生的热量被冷却剂带走,并跟随冷却剂进入换热器95的第二换热通道95b。制冷剂被电子膨胀阀94节流后从电子膨胀阀94中流出,并以低温低压的状态进入第一换热通道95a。在换热器95中,第二换热通道95b内的冷却剂中的热量被第一换热通道95a中的制冷剂所吸收,从而使得汽车空调系统900能够实现对电池模块97的冷却过程。
制冷剂被电子膨胀阀92节流后从电子膨胀阀92中流出,并以低温低压的状态进入蒸发器通道93a。蒸发器93允许空气流从蒸发器通道93a的外侧吹过,以吸收该空气流中的热量,从而对该空气流进行冷却。被冷却的空气流可被送入车辆座舱,以对座舱内的热湿环境进行调节。
图2A至图2D以及图3、4、5、6、7、8A、8B示出了本发明中的电子膨胀阀92,94的第一个实施例。在这个实施例中,电子膨胀阀92,94包括阀体1,阀组件2,制冷剂传感器31,主电控板4和壳体组件5。
参考图2A至图2D、图4以及图9A至9D,阀体1的形状为块状,在空间上具有三组各自相对的两侧。在内部构造上,阀体1具有第一制冷剂入口1a和第一制冷剂出口1b,其中,第一制冷剂入口1a和第一制冷剂出口1b之间形成贯穿阀体1的第一制冷剂通道11。第一制冷剂入口1a和第一制冷剂出口1b优选为设置在阀体1的相对的两侧。在未图示的实施例中,第一制冷剂入口1a和第一制冷剂出口1b还可以设置在阀体1的同一侧,或者第一制冷剂入口1a和第一制冷剂出口1b还可以设置在阀体1的相邻两侧。第一制冷剂出口1b与蒸发器通道93a的入口或者第一换热通道95a的入口连通。
为了使阀组件2能够对第一制冷剂通道11内的制冷剂进行节流,阀体1优选在没有开设第一制冷剂入口1a和第一制冷剂出口1b的一侧开设第一安装腔15。第一安装腔15从阀体1的外表面向阀体1的内部延伸,并且与第一制冷剂通道11连通。阀组件2插入第一安装腔15,并且至少一部分的阀组件2位于第一制冷剂通道11中,以对第一制冷剂通道11内的制冷剂进行节流。
如图3、4、5所示,阀组件2包括线圈组件21和阀芯组件22。阀芯组件22的一端插入阀体1的第一安装腔15,并且伸入第一制冷剂通道11。阀芯组件22的插入阀体1的部分被固定在阀体1上。阀芯组件22的另一端露在阀体1的外侧。线圈组件21设置在阀体1的外侧,并且套设在阀芯组件22上。线圈组件21与主电控板4电连接,在通电的情况下,线圈组件21能够驱动阀芯组件22运动,以使阀芯组件22实现对第一制冷剂通道11内的制冷剂的节流过程。在未图示的实施例中,阀组件2还可以为电磁驱动式的阀组件。
阀芯组件22包括沿阀组件2的轴线(如图3中的虚线所示)装配在一起的阀座221,阀芯222,连接座224,转子组件223和罩体225。阀座221具有阀孔221a,阀座221的具有阀孔221a的部分设置在阀体1的内部并且位于第一制冷剂通道11中。阀座221固定在阀体1上,连接座224可以与阀体1和阀座221分别焊接。转子组件223和罩体225分别和连接座224连接。转子组件223包括永磁体,永磁体能够在通电的线圈组件21所产生的激励磁场的作用下围绕阀组件2的轴线转动。转子组件223还包括将永磁体的转动转化成沿阀组件2的轴线移动的传动组件。
阀芯222可滑动地装配在阀座221中。转子组件223的永磁体用于被通电的线圈组件21驱动,并且通过传动组件带动阀芯222相对于阀座221沿阀组件2的轴线运动,从而调节阀孔221a的开度。当第一制冷剂通道11内的制冷剂通过开度较小的阀孔221a时,制冷剂被节流。
为了提高热管理组件的集成度,阀体1还具有第二制冷剂入口1c和第二制冷剂出口1d,第二制冷剂入口1c和第二制冷剂出口1d之间形成贯穿阀体1的第二制冷剂通道12,第二制冷剂通道12与第一制冷剂通道11互不连通。这样的设计可以使得阀体1形成蒸发器93或者换热器95的制冷剂出口流路的一部分。在这个实施例中,第二制冷剂入口1c与蒸发器通道93a的出口或者第二换热通道95b的出口连通。
第二制冷剂入口1c和第二制冷剂出口1d优选为设置在阀体1的相对的两侧。在更具体的实施方式中,第一制冷剂入口1a和第二制冷剂出口1d优选为设置在阀体1的同侧,第一制冷剂出口1b和第二制冷剂入口1c优选为设置在阀体1的同侧。在未图示的实施例中,第二制冷剂入口1c和第二制冷剂出口1d还可以设置在阀体1的同一侧,或者第二制冷剂入口1c和第二 制冷剂出口1d还可以设置在阀体1的相邻两侧。
为了使制冷剂传感器31能够对第二制冷剂通道12内的制冷剂进行检测,阀体1优选在没有开设第二制冷剂入口1c和第二制冷剂出口1d的一侧开设第二安装腔16。第二安装腔16从阀体1的外表面向阀体1的内部延伸,并且与第二制冷剂通道12连通。制冷剂传感器31插入第二安装腔16,并且至少一部分的制冷剂传感器31位于第二制冷剂通道12中,以对第二制冷剂通道12内的制冷剂进行检测。
制冷剂传感器31优选为温度压力传感器,其集成有温度检测功能和压力检测功能。在结构上,制冷剂传感器31具有并排设置的温度检测部31a和压力检测部31b。如图4、25所示,温度检测部31a和压力检测部31b在制冷剂的流动方向上前后设置,温度检测部31a优选地设置在压力检测部31b的上游。温度检测部31a和压力检测部31b优选地与第二制冷剂通道12的中心线对齐设置。这样的设计有助于减少制冷剂传感器31在插入阀体1的方向上所具有的长度。
如图3、5所示,在设置方位上,制冷剂传感器31可以与阀组件2分别设置在阀体1的不同侧,例如阀体1的相邻的两侧。相应地,第一安装腔15和第二安装腔16分别开设在阀体1的不同侧。在未图示的实施方式中,制冷剂传感器31也可以与阀组件2设置在阀体1的同一侧,相应地,第一安装腔15和第二安装腔16开设在阀体1的同一侧。
继续参考图3和图5,主电控板4与阀组件2和制冷剂传感器31分别电连接。制冷剂传感器31检测第二制冷剂通道12内的制冷剂,以产生检测信号,如温度信号和压力信号;主电控板4能够接收该检测信号。主电控板4还被设置成向阀组件2发送驱动信号,以驱动阀组件2运动,从而实现对第一制冷剂通道11内制冷剂的节流过程。更具体地,主电控板4还具有微处理器,该微处理器能够对制冷剂传感器31产生的检测信号进行处理,并产生上述驱动信号。
电连接可通过插针或者软性导电件,如软排线来实现。电连接包括可拆卸地电连接。如图3和图5所示,电子膨胀阀92,94包括软性导电件41;软性导电件41可拆卸地电连接制冷剂传感器31和主电控板4。例如,软性导电件41的一端被设置成与主电控板4卡扣连接并电连接,另一端与制冷剂传感器31焊接。在图3和图5所示的实施例中,阀组件2通过插针与主 电控板4电连接。
如图3、5所示,在设置方位上,主电控板4可以与制冷剂传感器31设置在阀体1的同一侧。在图5中,主电控板4与制冷剂传感器31并排设置并且通过软性导电件41可拆卸地电连接。并排设置的主电控板4与制冷剂传感器31有助于使电子膨胀阀92,94的结构更加紧凑。
在未图示的实施例中,主电控板4也可以与制冷剂传感器31设置在阀体1的不同侧,例如主电控板4与制冷剂传感器31分别设置在阀体1的相邻侧。
继续参考2A,图2B,图3,图5和图6,主电控板4容纳在壳体组件5中,制冷剂传感器31连接在壳体组件5上,更具体地,制冷剂传感器31被压紧在壳体组件5上。这样的设计有助于提高制冷剂传感器31安装的稳定性且使得电子膨胀阀92,94的结构紧凑。
继续参考图5,壳体组件5包括主壳体51;主壳体51具有主控制腔51a;主电控板4设置在主控制腔51a内。阀组件2和主电控板4分别位于阀体1的不同侧。这样的设计使得主控制腔51a在阀体1的设置有主电控板4的一侧能够具有较大的延展空间,从而使得主控制腔51a能够容纳较大尺寸的主电控板4;较大尺寸的主电控板4能够集成更多的电子器件,这对实现电子膨胀阀的智能控制十分有利。
继续参考图5,更具体地,阀组件2和主电控板4分别位于阀体1的相邻的两侧。这有助于提高电子膨胀阀92,94的紧凑度。优选地,阀组件2和主电控板4分别位于阀体1的没有开设制冷剂进口和出口的相邻的两侧。
在未图示的实施例中,阀组件2、主电控板4和制冷剂传感器31可以分别位于阀体1的没有开设制冷剂进口和出口的三个不同侧。
电子膨胀阀92、94具有安装位置,安装位置可以是电子膨胀阀92、94被安装在汽车上之后具有的方位。该安装位置同时是电子膨胀阀92、94处于工作状态时具有的位置。为了避免制冷剂及其包含的润滑油和杂质积存在阀组件2中,对于处在安装位置的电子膨胀阀92,94,阀组件2位于阀体1的以竖直方向为参照的上侧。这样的设计使得在电子膨胀阀92、94的工作过程中进入到阀组件2的罩体225内的制冷剂能够在电子膨胀阀92、94停止工作后能够在重力的作用下流出罩体225,从而避免了制冷剂寄存在阀组件2内部。在该安装位置,阀组件2的轴线与竖直方向的夹角应当小于90 °,优选为小于等于75°。
继续参考图3、4、5、7,电子膨胀阀92,94还包括阀组件传感器32,33;阀组件传感器32,33与主电控板4电连接;阀组件传感器32,33用于检测阀组件2。阀组件传感器32,33设置在主控制腔51a内。只要是能够对阀组件的各个部分进行检测并产生反馈信号的传感器,均属于阀组件传感器32,33的范围。例如,阀组件传感器32,33可以是对转子组件223的永磁体的磁场变化进行检测的霍尔传感器,也可以是对阀芯222的沿阀组件2的轴线的移动进行检测的位置传感器。阀组件传感器32,33可以对阀组件2的异常工作状态,如失步、堵转进行检测。
霍尔传感器能够感应转子组件223的永磁体的磁场变化,并产生反馈信号。该反馈信号传递至主电控板4的微处理器。
如图6、7所示,制冷剂传感器31、主壳体51和阀体1层叠设置,并且沿层叠的方向被连接成一体;其中,主壳体51和制冷剂传感器31中的一个被夹紧在阀体1与主壳体51和制冷剂传感器31中的另一个之间。这样的设计有助于减少电子膨胀阀92,94的装配步骤,并且使得电子膨胀阀92,94的结构紧凑。
继续参考图6,层叠设置的制冷剂传感器31、主壳体51和阀体1通过传感器连接件71连接成一体。传感器连接件71可以是螺钉。传感器连接件71贯穿主壳体51和制冷剂传感器31中的至少一个,并且与阀体1固定连接。
在图6所示的实施例中,主壳体51被夹在制冷剂传感器31和阀体1之间,并且传感器连接件71贯穿制冷剂传感器31和主壳体51。
在未图示的实施例中,制冷剂传感器31的位于阀体1内的部分与阀体1螺纹连接,制冷剂传感器31的位于阀体外的部分将主壳体51压紧在阀体1上。
参考图3、4、5、8A、8B,壳体组件5还包括主盖体52;主壳体51具有主开口51b,主开口51b与主控制腔51a连通;主开口51b可以朝向远离阀体1的方向,并且容许主电控板4进入主控制腔51a;主盖体52用于盖在主壳体51上,以封闭主开口51b。
继续参考图3、4、5、8A、8B,主密封件81沿主开口51b的周向设置,并被夹紧在主盖体52和主壳体51之间,以密封主开口51b。主壳体51和主盖体52的其中一个可以设置容纳主密封件81的凹槽。
继续参考图3、4、5、8A、8B,主壳体51具有传感器孔51c,传感器孔51c与主控制腔51a连通;制冷剂传感器31贯穿传感器孔51c;其中,制冷剂传感器31的一部分位于主控制腔51a内,并且与主电控板4电连接;制冷剂传感器31的另一部分位于主控制腔51a外,并用于检测第二制冷剂通道12内的制冷剂。制冷剂传感器31的位于主控制腔51a内的部分被压紧在主壳体51上。
