Patent number: 11329531Abstract: The disclosure relates to a valve for controlling the circulation of a fluid, having a valve body and a housing containing an electric motor composed of a stator and of a rotor, a needle, a sealing bell and also a fixed screw or a fixed nut. The fixed screw or the fixed nut is secured to the valve body, and the stator is secured to the valve body via the housing. The sealing bell is positioned at the interface between the rotor and the stator in such a way that the screw/nut, the rotor and the needle are within this bell and submerged in the fluid, the stator being isolated from the fluid. Furthermore, the rotor has the function of a nut or of a screw, and has a helical movement imposed by the fixed screw or the fixed nut and drives the needle axially. The motor is a brushless polyphase motor with radial principal magnetic flux.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Moving Magnet TechnologiesInventors: Lionel Billet, Michaël Delbaere, Valentin Preault, Gaël Andrieux
