Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of flow regulating valves, and in particular to a flow regulating valve.

BACKGROUND

In a flow regulating valve, a change of a circulation area is realized by changing a relative position between a valve head and a conical surface of a valve port, thereby realizing flow regulation. A flow characteristic curve represents a relationship between the flow of the flow regulating valve and the opening degree of the valve port (that is, a moving distance of the valve head), and an existing flow characteristic curve is in a linear relationship.

In practical use, different systems and use conditions have different requirements for flow regulation. In some cases, it is desired that the flow regulating valve will have a polygonal-shape flow characteristic curve, and an existing linear flow characteristic curve is not able to meet the disclosure requirements.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure provides a flow regulating valve, so that the flow regulating valve has a polygonal-shape flow characteristic curve.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure provides a flow regulating valve, comprising: a valve body, wherein the valve body has a valve port, an inner wall of the valve port has a first conical surface and a second conical surface, an included angle between a generatrix of the first conical surface and a radial plane of the valve body is b, and an included angle between a generatrix of the second conical surface and the radial plane of the valve body is c; and a valve head, wherein the valve head is movably disposed in the valve body to close or open the valve port, the valve head has a chamfer, and an included angle between the chamfer and the radial plane of the valve body is a; wherein, b<a<c.

By adopting this solution, since the inner wall of the valve port of the valve body has the first conical surface and the second conical surface with different inclination angles, and an angle of the chamfer of the valve head and angles of the first conical surface and the second conical surface satisfy the relationship b<a<c, in a process of opening or closing the valve port, a flow characteristic curve is in a shape of polygonal line, thereby meeting the use requirements under some conditions. Through the above arrangement, when the valve head opens or closes the valve port, a change of a circulation area between an outer wall of the valve head and the inner wall of the valve port is in a shape of polygonal line, so that the flow characteristic curve is of in a shape of polygonal line.

Further, the valve body has an accommodating cavity, the valve port is communicated with the accommodating cavity, the valve head is movably disposed in the accommodating cavity, and the first conical surface is close to the accommodating cavity with respect to the second conical surface.

Further, when the valve port is in a closed state, a contact surface between the valve head and the second conical surface is a plugging surface, a distance between a transition edge of the first conical surface and the second conical surface and the plugging surface is H1, and a distance between the valve head and the plugging surface is H2; the chamfer has a first peripheral edge and a second peripheral edge along an axial direction of the valve port, and a diameter of the first peripheral edge is less than that of the second peripheral edge; when H2<H1, a minimum distance between the valve head and the inner wall of the valve port is a distance between the second peripheral edge and the second conical surface; and when H2>H1, the minimum distance between the valve head and the inner wall of the valve port is a distance between the first peripheral edge and the first conical surface. In this way, the flow jitter, even an abnormal condition that a flow is small while an opening degree is increased, which are caused by eddy current at a turning part of the valve port, are able to be avoided. The turning part of the valve port is a transition part between the first conical surface and the second conical surface.

Further, the accommodating cavity has a bottom surface, the bottom surface is connected with the first conical surface, and a distance between the bottom surface and the plugging surface is H3; when the valve port is in an open state, H2<H3. This is able to ensure that the flow is always affected by the first conical surface of the valve port, and the flow regulation is more accurate.

Further, when the valve port is in the open state, H3−H2<H2−H1. In this way, a full open position of the valve head is located at an upper-middle position of the first conical surface, and the requirement for a maximum flow in a full open state is ensured.

Further, the inner wall of the valve port also has a cylindrical surface, and the cylindrical surface of the valve port is located on a side, far away from the first conical surface, of the second conical surface.

Further, an outer wall surface of the valve head is a cylindrical surface. With the adoption of the cylindrical surface, the processing of the valve head is able to be facilitated.

Further, a side wall of the valve body is provided with a circulation port, and when the valve port is opened, the valve port is communicated with the circulation port. When the valve port is closed, the valve port and the circulation port are disconnected, and a fluid does not flow.

Further, the flow regulating valve further comprises: a guide sleeve, wherein the guide sleeve is disposed in the valve body, and the valve head is movably disposed in the guide sleeve; and a driving part, wherein the driving part is in driving connection with the valve head to drive the valve head to move. The guide sleeve is able to guide the valve head and make the valve head move smoothly. The driving part is used to drive the valve head to move back and forth. The driving part is able to be driven by electromagnetism.

Further, the flow regulating valve is an electronic expansion valve.

By applying the technical solutions of the present disclosure, a flow regulating valve is provided, comprising a valve body and a valve head, wherein the valve body has a valve port, an inner wall of the valve port has a first conical surface and a second conical surface, an included angle between a generatrix of the first conical surface and a radial plane of the valve body is b, and an included angle between a generatrix of the second conical surface and the radial plane of the valve body is c; and the valve head is movably disposed in the valve body to close or open the valve port, the valve head has a chamfer, and an included angle between the chamfer and the radial plane of the valve body is a; where, b<a<c. By adopting this solution, since the inner wall of the valve port has the first conical surface and the second conical surface with different inclination angles, and an angle of a chamfer of the valve head and angles of the conical surfaces are also different, in a process of opening or closing the valve port, a flow characteristic curve is in a shape of polygonal line, thereby meeting the use requirements under some conditions.
