The present disclosure relates to the field of electromagnetic valve technology, and in particular, to an expansion valve coil structure, a preparing method thereof and an expansion valve.
In the related art, materials used for processing an expansion valve coil structure are usually coated with antirust materials. After the corresponding materials are processed to form a stator housing and an electromagnetic pole plate, an antirust layer on material surfaces of the stator housing and the electrode plate may be destroyed, and there were a plurality of exposed surfaces formed by processing, which greatly weakened an antirust ability of the formed expansion valve coil structure.
According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, an expansion valve coil structure and an expansion valve are provided with enhanced antirust ability and comprehensive antirust.

Considering magnetic conductivity energy, antirust effect and processing technology, the thickness of the second antirust layer can be in a range of 2 μm to 30 μm. In this way, a requirement for machining accuracy is low, and a machining difficulty is reduced.

The second antirust layer is coated on each surface by plating or coating, the plating or coating process is simple, and each surface can be evenly covered with the second antirust layer, especially for hidden positions such as hole walls and bending corners. This process can effectively coat hidden positions.
In some embodiments, a plurality of first claw electrodes are formed on the stator housing, and the plurality of first claw electrodes are distributed at intervals along a circumferential direction of the stator housing; a plurality of second claw electrodes are correspondingly processed on the electromagnetic pole plate, the plurality of second claw electrodes are distributed at intervals along a circumferential direction of the electromagnetic pole plate, the plurality of first claw electrodes and the plurality of second claw electrodes are arranged opposite to each other and inserted in an alternating configuration in intervals to enclose and form an internal hole of the expansion valve coil structure.

The stator housing 10 and the electromagnetic pole plate 20 are main components of the expansion valve coil structure 100. However, in the related art, before processing, surfaces of materials used to form the stator housing and the electromagnetic pole plate have been coated with antirust coatings. After processing and molding, an antirust layer on a surface of raw materials is damaged, and there are many processed exposed surfaces such as incision and cut surface on the molded stator housing 10 and the electromagnetic pole plate. Without the antirust layer on each of the processed exposed surface, the stator housing and the electromagnetic pole plate are easy to rust and cannot effectively protect coil, which affects a service life and effect of the expansion valve.
Referring to
In the present disclosure, the stator housing 10 and the electromagnetic pole plate 20 after processing and molding are rusted. The processed exposed surface 50 on the stator housing 10 and the electromagnetic pole plate 20 is covered by the second antirust layer 60b to achieve comprehensive rust protection. It can effectively improve an antirust ability of the stator housing 10 and an antirust ability of the electromagnetic pole plate 20, thereby enhancing an antirust ability of the expansion valve coil structure 200 and prolonging a service life of the expansion valve coil structure 100.

In an embodiment, the processed exposed surface 50 includes surfaces of the plurality of first claw electrodes 11 and surfaces of the plurality of second claw electrodes 21. The plurality of first claw electrodes 11 and the plurality of second claw electrodes 21 are processed and formed on the stator housing 10 and the electromagnetic pole plate 20, respectively, which leads to a destruction of the first antirust layer 60a in the raw materials, and additional incisions or cut surfaces are generated during processing. By coating the second antirust layer 60b on the cut surfaces and/or incisions formed after the processing of the plurality of first claw electrodes 11 and the plurality of second claw electrode 21, the antirust ability of the plurality of first claw electrodes 11 and the plurality of second claw electrodes 21 can be effectively improved.
The expansion valve coil structure 100 further includes a coil framework 30, and a coil 70 is wound around the coil framework 30 to form a coil winding. The coil winding is located between the stator housing 10 and the electromagnetic pole plate 20, and the plurality of first claw electrodes 11 and the plurality of second claw electrodes 21 are located in the coil winding. Such that the coiled coil 70 is enclosed outside the internal hole 40 of the expansion valve coil structure 100.

In an embodiment, the plurality of second positioning holes 23 and the plurality of third positioning holes 24 are alternately arranged at intervals, so that the positioning positions are evenly distributed and positioning is more stable.
In an embodiment, the plurality of second positioning holes 23 and the plurality of third positioning holes 24 are arranged along a circumferential direction of the electromagnetic pole plate 20, so as to ensure that all directions of the electromagnetic pole plate 20 can be fixed and prevent the electromagnetic pole plate 20 from shifting.
In an embodiment, the second antirust layer 60b is disposed on the surface of the stator housing 10, the surface of the electromagnetic pole plate 20 and each of the plurality of processed exposed surfaces 50 by a plating process or a coating process. The plating process or the coating process is simple, and each surface can be evenly covered with the second antirust layer 60b, especially for hidden positions such as hole walls and bending corners. This process can effectively coat hidden positions. In other embodiments, a processing mode of the second antirust layer 60b is not limited to the above.
In an embodiment, a thickness of the second antirust layer 60b is in a range of 2 μm to 30 μm. When the thickness of the second antirust layer 60b is less than 2 μm, a surface coating is damaged and loses the antirust function in a production process, while when the thickness of the second antirust layer 60b is more than 30 μm, the thickness of the second antirust layer 60b is too thick, which is easy to cause the second antirust layer 60b to blister and fall off and lose the antirust function. Therefore, the thickness of the second antirust layer 60b is in the range of 2 μm to 30 μm in the present disclosure, and within this range, the second antirust layer 60b has little influence on magnetic conductivity performance of the electromagnetic pole plate 20. The thicker the second antirust layer 60b, the lower the requirements for coating or electroplating of the second antirust layer 60b are, thus reducing a processing cost of products. In other embodiments, the thickness of the second antirust layer 60b is not limited to the above thickness, and the thickness of the second antirust layer 60b can also be determined according to an actual application.
In an embodiment, the thickness of the second antirust layer 60b is in a range of 8 μm to 16 μm. With this arrangement, the influence of the second antirust layer 60b on the magnetic conductivity energy of the electromagnetic pole plate 20 can be ignored.
Furthermore, the second antirust layer 60b can be zinc plating, nickel plating, tin plating, chromium plating, etc. Of course, it can also be other anti-rust materials, such as alloy plating. The specific material of the antirust layer 60 can be selected according to the application environment, for example, in the organic acid environment, the antirust layer can be selected as tin coating. When electrochemical corrosion occurs, a plating metal at an anode is continuously lost to protect a base metal, and then the stator housing 10 and the electromagnetic pole plate 20 are electrochemically protected.
In an embodiment, the antirust layer 60 can be provided with one or more layers, and the materials of each layer can be the same or different, for example, the surface of the stator housing 10 is plated with zinc coating first, and then with chromium coating with higher hardness.
In an embodiment, the stator housing 10 and the electromagnetic pole plate 20 are made of non-austenitic stainless steel. This design can further improve a corrosion resistance of the product without affecting the magnetic permeability of the product. Non-austenitic stainless steel has good strength properties, which makes the plurality of first claw electrodes 11 and the plurality of second claw electrodes 21 difficult to deform, and it can avoid an influence of claw electrode deformation on an actuation performance. In addition, the thickness of the claw electrode can be further reduced, which is beneficial to a miniaturization of the expansion valve 200.
The present disclosure further provides a method for preparing an expansion valve coil structure. The method includes following steps: S1, providing a material to be processed, wherein a surface of the material to be processed is provided a first antirust layer 60a; S2, processing and shaping the material to be processed to form a stator housing 10 and an electromagnetic pole plate 20, wherein the stator housing 10 and the electromagnetic pole plate 20 are both provided with a plurality of processed exposed surfaces 50; and S3, coating each of the plurality of processed exposed surfaces 50 with a second antirust layer 60b.
