  • Patent number: 9810461
    Abstract: An electronic expansion valve is provided, wherein a piston component and a valve needle component are located at the same side of a valve core seat. When refrigerant flows forwards, the piston component closes the bypass through hole, the refrigerant flows to a side of the vertical connecting pipe via the valve core valve port, and the valve needle component moves in the axial direction to regulate an opening of the valve core valve port. When the refrigerant flows reversely, the piston component moves upwards in the axial direction to open the bypass through hole, and the refrigerant flows to a side of the transverse connecting pipe via the bypass through hole. The electronic expansion valve ensures that the valve needle component seals the valve core valve port easily in a high pressure state when the refrigerant flows forwards, and reduces axial and radial dimensions of the valve seat.
