A thermal expansion valve with one-way control function includes a valve body having an inlet passage and an out passage, a temperature sensor installed on one end of the valve body, and a first valve core component installed in an inside chamber of the valve body. The first valve core component includes a first valve core and a valve rod against the temperature sensor. The valve body also includes an accommodation component extending from said the inlet passage into the valve body and coaxially installed with the inlet passage. The accommodation component has a second valve port connected with the inside chamber. The accommodation component has a second valve core component having a supporting piece and a second valve core matching the second valve port. The processing of the structure is convenient and the assembly of the second valve core component is simple and reliable.

Thermal expansion valve with one-way control function

A thermal expansion valve comprises a valve body and a valve core member. The valve body is provided with a first connecting chamber, a lower cavity with a transmission member built in, and a first sealing member for separating the first connecting chamber and the lower cavity. A fifth pressure-bearing surface and a sixth pressure-bearing surface, pressed by a cold medium in the first connecting chamber in opposite directions, are disposed on a side wall of the valve core member. The first sealing member comprises a first flexible sealing element, disposed between the transmission member and an upper end portion of the valve core member and having a first edge portion connected to the valve body in a sealing manner. A sum of an effective stress area of a first pressure-bearing surface of the first flexible sealing element and a stress area of the fifth pressure-bearing surface is substantially equal to a sum of an effective stress area of a third pressure-bearing surface of the upper end portion of the valve core member and a stress area of the sixth pressure-bearing surface. Through the design of the structure of the thermal expansion valve, in an aspect, reliability of sealing between the valve body and the upper end portion of the valve core member can be ensured, sensitivity of the valve is improved, and difficulty of manufacturing the valve body and the valve core member can be reduced; and in another aspect, pressure influence caused by the cold medium in the first connecting chamber on the movement of the valve core member can be eliminated.

Thermal expansion valve

An expansion valve is disclosed herein and includes a valve body having a chamber; a valve seat and a valve core are provided in the chamber; a first opening and a second opening in communication with the chamber, wherein the valve core moves relative to the valve seat to control a size of a flow channel between the first opening and the second opening, wherein the valve core includes a valve core head portion facing the valve seat, the valve head portion is provided with an axial through hole, a piston is provided in the axial through hole, the piston is connected with the valve body. The piston which is connected with the valve body is provided in the axial through hole of the valve core head portion of the expansion valve. Therefore, fluid pressure may be transmitted to the valve body by the piston, so as to reduce the forces applied on the valve core, and balance the influence of differential pressure between high pressure and low pressure on the valve core more steadily, which in turn can reflect the change in the superheat degree at the outlet of the evaporator truly.
