Abstract
An electric valve can be further miniaturized while reducing the number of manufacturing man-hours. The electric valve contains: a motor including a stator member and a rotor member that displace a valve body, and a housing for accommodating the motor. The housing is formed by joining a heat generation portion formed of a first material to a heat receiving portion formed of a second material. The light transmittance in the first material is lower than the light transmittance in the second material.
Claims7
An electric valve comprising:
- a motor including a rotor member, a stator member for applying a rotational force to the rotor member, and a can in which the rotor member is disposed;
- a power transmission mechanism for converting rotational movement of the rotor member into axial movement of a valve body;
- a housing for accommodating the motor and the power transmission mechanism;
- and
- a base member connected to the housing and provided with a valve seat to which the valve body is separated or seated,
- wherein:
- the housing includes:
- a heat generation portion formed of a first material,
- a heat receiving portion formed of a second material and bonded to the heat generation portion, and
- a tube-shaped member and a cover member for shielding the tube-shaped member,
- a laser light transmittance in the first material is lower than a laser light transmittance in the second material,
- the heat generation portion is a part of the tube-shaped member, the heat receiving portion is part of the cover member, the cover member holds a substrate provided with a drive circuit for driving the motor, and the tube-shaped member is provided with a connector portion that can be connected to an external power source,
- the cover member includes an insertion portion that fits inside an end portion of the tube-shaped member, and ribs formed on an outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion,
- the motor is disposed on the tube-shaped member, and an angle sensor for detecting a rotation angle of the rotor member is disposed on the cover member, and
- the can of the motor is disposed between the angle sensor and the rotor member.
