Abstract

A valve device is provided. The valve device includes a valve body unit, a mounting seat and a valve seat. The valve device further includes a fastening member. The mounting seat is provided with a limiting step, and a side surface of the valve seat is provided with a connecting hole in communication with the mounting hole along a direction perpendicular to an axis of the mounting hole. And an end of the fastening member extends into the mounting hole from the connecting hole and abuts against the limiting step.

Claims (20)

1. A valve device, comprising a valve body unit, a mounting seat and a valve seat, wherein the valve seat is provided with a mounting hole, the mounting seat is disposed on the valve body unit, an end of the valve body unit adjacent to the mounting seat extends into the mounting hole, and the mounting seat is disposed in the mounting hole along with the valve body unit;

the valve device further comprises a fastening member, the mounting seat is provided with four limiting steps, each of the four limiting steps comprises a first surface and a second surface, an angle between the first surface of each of the four limiting steps and a corresponding second surface is defined as A, and the angle A between the first surface of each of the four limiting steps and the corresponding second surface is a right angle, the first surface of each of the four limiting steps is a plane and parallel to the axis of the mounting hole,

a side surface of the valve seat is provided with a connecting hole in communication with the mounting hole along a direction perpendicular to an axis of the mounting hole, and an end of the fastening member extends into the mounting hole from the connecting hole and abuts against the first surface of each of the four limiting steps.

2. The valve device of claim 1 , wherein the fastening member abuts against the first surface of one of the four limiting steps along an axis of the fastening member, and the fastening member matches with the second surface of one of the four limiting steps along a radial direction of the fastening member to limit the corresponding second surface.

3. The valve device of claim 2 , wherein an end surface of the fastening member abuts against the first surface of each of the four limiting steps, and a periphery surface of the fastening member matches with the corresponding second surface to limit the corresponding second surface.

4. The valve device of claim 1 , wherein

the second surface of each of the four limiting steps is a plane and perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole.

5. The valve device of claim 1 , wherein along an axis of the valve body unit, a height of the first surface of each of the four limiting steps is defined as H 1 , along a radial direction of the valve body unit, a maximum length of the second surface of each of the four limiting steps is defined as H 2 , a diameter of the fastening member is defined as D, and H 1 , H 2 and D meet following formulas:

0.5 D≤H 1 ≤2 D, 0.3 D≤H 2 ≤D.

6. The valve device of claim 1 , wherein the fastening member is connected to the valve seat by threaded connection.

7. The valve device of claim 1 , wherein the number of the connecting hole is two, and the two connecting holes are disposed at intervals on a same side surface of the valve seat; and

the number of the fastening member is the same as the number of the connecting hole.

8. The valve device of claim 7 , wherein the two fastening members extend through the two corresponding connecting holes, respectively, and abut against same one of the four limiting steps.

9. The valve device of claim 1 , wherein the number of the connecting hole is two, and the two connecting holes are disposed on different side surfaces of the valve seat;

two of the four limiting steps are corresponding to the two connecting holes, respectively; and,

the number of the fastening member is the same with the number of the connecting holes.

10. The valve device of claim 9 , wherein the two fastening members extend through the two connecting holes disposed on two side surfaces of the valve seat and abut against two of the four limiting steps.

11. The valve device of claim 1 , wherein the four limiting steps are disposed at intervals along a circumference of the mounting seat.

12. The valve device of claim 1 , wherein the mounting seat is sleeved on the valve body unit and fixed to the valve body unit.

13. The valve device of claim 1 , wherein the first surfaces of adjacent two of the four limiting steps are perpendicular to each other.
