Abstract

A flow control valve (1) includes a valve body (2), which is provided with a valve hole (21), a guide hole (22) and a lateral hole (23) that are in communication with each other, and a valve core (3), which is located in the guide hole (22), and can move in an axial direction of the guide hole (22) to control the opening and closing of the valve hole (21), thereby allowing or blocking the flowing of a fluid between the valve hole (21) and the lateral hole (23). The lateral hole (23) is internally provided with a connecting portion (231) connected to the valve hole (21), and the connecting portion (231) has a borehole surface (232) bored around an axis of the valve hole (21). The valve body (2) of the flow control valve (1) is provided with the lateral hole (23) and the borehole surface (232) located in the lateral hole (23), and the borehole surface (232) is located at a joint between the lateral hole (23) and the valve hold (21) and is arranged around the axis of the valve hole (21). By means of the lateral bore (23) and the borehole surface (232), the valve core (3) of the flow control valve (1) has as little lateral force as possible when a fluid flows between the valve hole (21) and the lateral hole (23).

Dependent claims

A flow control valve, comprising:

a valve body, having a valve hole, a guide hole and a lateral hole which are in communication with each other;
a valve core, located in the guide hole, and movable in the axial direction of the guide hole so as to control the opening/closing of the valve hole, thereby allowing or blocking the flow of fluid between the valve hole and the lateral hole;
a connecting portion connected to the valve hole being provided in the lateral hole, the connecting portion having a borehole surface formed by boring about the axis of the valve hole;
wherein the valve hole comprises a cylindrical portion and a conical portion, the conical portion extending from the cylindrical portion to the connecting portion in a direction away from the axis of the valve hole;
and
wherein the conical portion comprises a first conical part, a second conical part and a third conical part, which are connected to each other in sequence starting at the cylindrical portion and have gradually increasing diameters, wherein the first conical part forms the seating face for the valve core;
the angle between the second conical part and the axis of the valve hole is smaller than the angle between the third conical part and the axis of the valve hole, so as to provide different circulation areas at different degrees of opening of the valve core;
the diameter of the end of the third conical part which is opposite the second conical part is equal to the diameter of the borehole surface.
