The valve body 40 includes a first valve body 401 and a second valve body 402, the inlet 212, the outlet 213, and the second passage 214 are all located in the first valve body 401, and the inlet 212 and the outlet 213 are located in two walls adjacent to the first valve body 401, the first passage 41 is located in the second valve body 402, and the first passage 41 and the second passage 214 are not communicated with each other.

Compared with the integrated valve body 40, the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 are formed in a split mode, the first valve body 401 and the second valve body 402 formed in a split mode are small in size, small-size raw materials can be selected for processing and forming, raw materials are high in selectivity, waste of materials is not easy to cause, and cost is reduced. The material of the first valve body 401 comprises a metal material, and the density of the second valve body 402 is smaller than that of the first valve body 401, so that on one hand, the weight of the electric valve 1 can be reduced, and on the other hand, the light valve body 40 reduces the transportation cost to a certain extent. Specifically, the material of the second valve body 402 may be a metal material or a plastic, and in this embodiment, the second valve body 402 includes plastic and is formed by injection molding, so that on the premise of ensuring the use effect, the waste of the material is greatly reduced, which is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of the material and reducing the cost.

In one embodiment, the axial direction of the first sensing device 50 forms an angle with the reference direction, so that the assembly direction of the first valve body 401 and the assembly direction of the second valve body 402 are different. During assembly, the first sensing device 50 is firstly mounted on the second valve body 402, then the first valve body 401, the second valve body 402 and the control part 1a are assembled in sequence, the first sensing device 50 is not required to be mounted on the valve body 40 from the electric control side, the assembly process is simplified, and in the embodiment, the axial direction of the first sensing device 50 is perpendicular to the reference direction. In another embodiment, the axial direction of the first sensing device 50 is parallel to the reference direction, that is, the mounting direction of the first sensing device 50 is parallel to the mounting direction of the stator assembly 20, and the design can reduce the height of the device in one direction to adapt to the requirements of different environments.

The valve component (21) is partially arranged in the cavity of the shell (10), the first valve body (401) is sleeved on the valve component (21) along the axial direction of the valve component (21), and when the positions of the shell (10) and the first valve body (401) are fixed, the valve component (21) is pressed against the first valve body (401) and the shell (10);

the sensor side of the second valve body (402) provided with the first sensing device (50) faces the shell (10), when the second valve body (402) and the shell (10) are assembled, the part of the first sensing device (50) is positioned on the shell (10), and the first sensing device (50) is electrically and/or signally connected with the control part (1 a).
