  "abstract": "An electronic expansion valve is provided, a stop component thereof includes a spindle which is fixed with respect to the valve seat, a spring guide rail sleeved on the spindle, and a sliding ring configured to cooperate with the spring guide rail; one end of the sliding ring extends to form a stop rod, and a top of the magnet is provided with a stop hole, the stop rod passes through the stop hole, and when the sliding ring is at an upper limit position and a lower limit position, the stop rod remains in the stop hole. The structural design of the electronic expansion valve may reduce a number of components, simplify the assembly process of a stop rod, and improve the operational reliability of the stop rod, and reduce a radial dimension of a magnet, thereby saving the material cost and realizing the minimization of the product.",
  "claims": [
    "1. An electronic expansion valve, comprising a valve seat and a housing; a rotatable magnet being arranged inside the housing, the magnet being fixedly connected to a screw rod, and the screw rod cooperating with a nut by screw threads, and the nut being fixed with respect to the valve seat; the electronic expansion valve further comprising a stop component, the stop component comprising a spindle which is fixed with respect to the valve seat, a spring guide rail sleeved on the spindle, and a sliding ring cooperating with the spring guide rail; wherein, one end of the sliding ring extends to form a stop rod, and the sliding ring and the stop rod are formed integrally, and the magnet is provided with a stop hole, the stop rod passes through the stop hole, and in a case that the sliding ring is at an upper limit position and a lower limit position, the stop rod remains in the stop hole; and wherein, the magnet comprises a connecting seat, the connecting seat is fixedly connected to the screw rod, and the stop hole is provided in the connecting seat.",
    "2. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 1, wherein the stop hole is radially offset with respect to a centerline of the connecting seat.",
    "3. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 1, wherein the spring guide rail is sleeved on an outer circumference of an upper portion of the nut, the upper portion of the nut forms the spindle, and an upper end of the sliding ring extends upwards to form the stop rod.",
    "4. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 1, wherein the spindle is fixed to an inner wall of a top end of the housing, and a lower end of the sliding ring extends downwards to form the stop rod.",
    "5. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 1, wherein the stop hole is an arc segment hole extending in a direction of a circular arc.",
    "6. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 5, wherein two or more of the arc segment hole are provided, and the arc segment holes are arranged symmetrically with respect to an axes.",
    "7. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 1, wherein the stop hole is a circular hole.",
    "8. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 7, wherein two or more of the circular hole are provided, and the circular holes are arranged symmetrically with respect to an axes.",
    "9. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 2, wherein the spring guide rail is sleeved on an outer circumference of an upper portion of the nut, the upper portion of the nut forms the spindle, and an upper end of the sliding ring extends upwards to form the stop rod.",
    "10. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 2, wherein the spindle is fixed to an inner wall of a top end of the housing, and a lower end of the sliding ring extends downwards to form the stop rod.",
    "11. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 2, wherein the stop hole is an arc segment hole extending in a direction of a circular arc.",
    "12. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 11, wherein two or more of the arc segment hole are provided, and the arc segment holes are arranged symmetrically with respect to an axes.",
    "13. The electronic expansion valve according to claim 2, wherein the stop hole is a circular hole."
