Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solenoid valves, and particularly relates to a two-position three-way solenoid valve. Background Art

[0002] A solenoid valve is a device controlled by electricity magnetism and is a basic automation component for controlling fluids. Solenoid valves are usually used in industrial control systems to adjust parameters such as the direction, flow rate, speed, and other parameters of the medium. Solenoid valves can cooperate with different circuits to achieve the expected control, and generally have good control accuracy and flexibility.

[0003] In a common two-position three-way solenoid valve structure, a steel ball, a return spring arranged on one side of the steel ball, a push rod arranged on the other side of the steel ball, an iron core, an armature, etc. are usually used to control the opening and closing of each channel. When the electromagnetic coil is powered off, the steel ball will seal the channel on its other side under the action of the return spring, and the channel on one side will be opened; when the electromagnetic coil is powered on, the armature will be attracted by the iron core against the acting force of the return spring, drive the push rod to push the steel ball, seal the channel on one side of the steel ball, and the channel on the other side will be opened. In order to ensure that the armature can drive the push rod to effectively push the steel ball for sealing after being attracted by the iron core when powered on, the distance between the armature and the iron core in the solenoid valve needs to be relatively precise. If the distance between the two is too small, the steel ball may not be able to completely seal the channel, resulting in an increase in the leakage amount. However, due to the complex structure and cumbersome installation process of the existing solenoid valves, and the low precision of manual assembly, the distance between the iron core and the armature usually cannot meet the design requirements after assembly, and the assembly efficiency is low.

[0034] The following specifically introduces each component and its connection relationship in detail:

[0035] The electromagnetic generating unit 3 includes a coil assembly 31, an armature 32, and an iron core 33, as Figures 4 to 6 shown. A groove 310 is formed on the coil assembly 31. The armature 32 is arranged in the groove 310 of the coil assembly 31. One end of the iron core 33 is inserted into the groove 310, and a moving gap is formed between one end of the iron core 33 and the armature 32.

A through hole 330 penetrating both ends is formed in the iron core 33, and the iron core 33 also has a first mating surface 332 and a third reference surface 333. One end of the iron core 33 is inserted into the groove 310, and the first reference surface 314 of the coil assembly 31 and the first mating surface 332 of the iron core 33 are mutually attached, so that a moving gap is formed between one end of the iron core 33 and the armature 32, and the accuracy of this moving gap is relatively high. Specifically: as Figure 8 shown, the size of one end of the iron core 33 matches the size of the groove 310. There is a protruding portion 331 on the side wall of the iron core 33. The end face of the protruding portion 331 facing one end of the coil assembly 31 forms the first mating surface 332, and the end face of the protruding portion 331 facing one end of the valve seat 12 forms the third reference surface 333. By providing the protruding portion 331 on the iron core 33, the first reference surface 314 and the first mating surface 332 are mutually attached, which is convenient for installing the iron core 33 and improves the accuracy of the moving gap formed between the iron core 33 and the armature 32.

[0038] The valve seat 12 is connected to the valve body 11, and a plurality of communication ports 120 are formed in the valve seat 12.

[0039] Specifically: One end of the valve seat 12 is connected to the valve body 11. A first cavity 121, a second cavity 122, and a third cavity 123 are formed in the valve seat 12. The first cavity 121 and the second cavity 122 are communicated through a first channel 124, and the second cavity 122 and the third cavity 123 are communicated through a second channel 125. The opening of the first cavity 121 faces one end of the valve seat 12, and the opening of the third cavity 123 faces the other end of the valve seat 12. The first cavity 121 includes a first stepped hole 1211, a second stepped hole 1212, and a third stepped hole 1213 that are directly connected in sequence. The opening of the first stepped hole 1211 faces the valve body 11, and the aperture of the first stepped hole 1211 is larger than that of the second stepped hole 1212, and the aperture of the second stepped hole 1212 is larger than that of the third stepped hole 1213. The size of the first stepped hole 1211 matches the size of the left skeleton 3111, the size of the second stepped hole 1212 matches the size of the protruding part 331 of the iron core 33 and the boss 3110 of the skeleton 311, and the size of the third stepped hole 1213 matches the size of the other end of the iron core 33; As Figure 7 shown, the bottom surface of the first stepped hole 1211 forms a second mating surface 126, and the bottom surface of the second stepped hole 1212 forms a third mating surface 127.

[0040] The multiple communication ports 120 on the valve seat 12 specifically include a first communication port 1201, a second communication port 1202, and a third communication port 1203. As Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, the first communication port 1201 is opened on the side wall of the first cavity 121, specifically on the side wall close to the bottom of the third stepped hole 1213. A plurality of first communication ports 1201 are opened, and the plurality of first communication ports 1201 are distributed circumferentially around the valve seat 12; The second communication port 1202 is opened on the side wall of the second cavity 122. A plurality of second communication ports 1202 are opened, and the plurality of second communication ports 1202 are distributed circumferentially around the valve seat 12; The third communication port 1203 is opened at the end of the third cavity 123, that is, the third communication port 1203 is located at the other end of the valve seat 12.

[0041] The push rod assembly 2 includes a push rod 21 and a sphere 22. As Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the sphere 22 is arranged in the second cavity 122, the push rod 21 is arranged in the through hole 330 of the iron core 33, and one end of the push rod 21 extends out of the through hole 330 and abuts against the armature 32. Specifically, one end of the push rod 21 can be fixedly connected to the armature 32 by welding, or other detachable connection methods can also be adopted; The other end of the push rod 21 extends out of the through hole 330 and extends into the first channel 124 and abuts against the sphere 22, for pushing the sphere 22 to open and close the communication port 120, that is, for pushing the sphere 22 to open and close the first channel 124 and the second channel 125.

[0042] To ensure the sealing performance when the first channel 124 and the second channel 125 are closed, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, the opening of the first channel 124 facing the second cavity 122 is arc-shaped, and the shape of the arc is at least partially matched with the shape of the sphere 22; the opening of the second channel 125 facing the second cavity 122 is arc-shaped, and the shape of the arc is at least partially matched with the shape of the sphere 22. Setting the openings of the first channel 124 and the second channel 125 as arc-shaped can improve the sealing performance and greatly reduce the liquid leakage of the solenoid valve.

[0043] The elastic component 4 is arranged in the third cavity 123, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown. One end of the elastic component 4 extends into the second channel 125 and abuts against the sphere 22. The elastic component 4 can provide an elastic force to enable the sphere 22 to open and close the first channel 124 and the second channel 125. The elastic component 4 specifically includes a spring seat 41, a spring 42, a spring thimble 43 and an adjusting member 44. The spring 42 is arranged between one ends of the spring seat 41 and the spring thimble 43. The other end of the spring thimble 43 penetrates into the second channel 125 and abuts against the sphere 22. The adjusting member 44 is arranged between the spring seat 41 and the spring 42, or the adjusting member 44 is arranged between the spring seat 41 and one end of the spring thimble 43, or the adjusting member 44 is simultaneously arranged between the spring seat 41 and the spring 42 and between the spring seat 41 and one end of the spring thimble 43.

[0044] The spring seat 41 is provided with a through hole 410 penetrating through its two ends, and the third communication port 1203 is communicated with the through hole 410. Specifically: as Figure 10 shown, the spring seat 41 includes a base 411 and a first mounting portion 412. The through hole 410 is opened in the middle of the base 411; the first mounting portion 412 is formed on the base 411. There are a plurality of first mounting portions 412.

The adjusting member 44 and the spring 42 can be arranged in the first mounting groove 413 to improve the stability of their installation; a communication port 414 is formed between two adjacent first mounting portions 412. The third communication port 1203 is communicated with the communication port 414. The communication port 414 can facilitate the oil flow of the third communication port 1203. The spring seat 41 is detachably connected to the third cavity 123 to facilitate adjusting the number of the adjusting members 44 or facilitating the replacement of the spring 42. For example, the outer wall of the spring seat 41 has an external thread, and the inside of the third cavity 123 has an internal thread. The external thread and the internal thread cooperate with each other to form a threaded connection between the spring seat 41 and the third cavity 123, realizing the detachable connection between the spring seat 41 and the third cavity 123.

[0045] The spring plunger 43 is movably disposed within the third cavity 123. As Figure 10 shown, the spring plunger 43 includes a plunger body 431 and a second mounting portion 432.

The plurality of second mounting portions 432 extend toward the side of the spring seat 41, and the plurality of second mounting portions 432 are circumferentially distributed around the plunger body 431. A second mounting groove 433 is defined among the plurality of second mounting portions 432. The adjusting member 44 and the spring 42 are disposed within the second mounting groove 433. Providing the second mounting groove 433 can improve the mounting stability of the adjusting member 44 and the spring 42. A circulation port 434 is formed between two adjacent second mounting portions 432 to ensure the circulation of the hydraulic fluid. The other end of the plunger body 431 penetrates into the second passage 125 and abuts against the sphere 22.

[0046] The adjusting member 44 is disposed within the first mounting groove 413 and / or the second mounting groove 414. There may be a plurality of adjusting members 44, and the plurality of adjusting members 44 are stacked. By providing the adjusting member 44, the elastic force of the spring 42 can be adjusted, that is, the number of adjusting members 44 can be adjusted according to the requirement of the elastic force. In this embodiment: As Figure 10 shown, the adjusting member 44 is disposed within the first mounting groove 413. The adjusting member 44 is a gasket, and the size of the gasket matches the sizes of the first mounting groove 413 and the second mounting groove 414.

[0047] In addition, in order to improve the sealing performance, a first sealing ring 51 is provided between the iron core 33 and the valve seat 12, and a second sealing ring 52 is provided between the iron core 33 and the groove body 310 of the coil assembly 31. Specifically: A groove is formed on the side wall of the protruding portion 331 of the iron core 33, and the first sealing ring 51 is disposed within the groove. A groove is formed on the side wall of one end of the iron core 33 inserted into the groove body 310 of the coil assembly 31, and the second sealing ring 52 is disposed within the groove. By providing the first sealing ring 51 and the second sealing ring 52, the sealing performance of the solenoid valve can be improved, the leakage of the liquid can be reduced, and damage caused by the entry of the hydraulic fluid during use can be prevented.

[0048] The working process of the solenoid valve of this embodiment is specifically described below:

[0049] When the electromagnetic generating unit 3 is powered on, the coil 312 magnetizes the iron core 33, causing the armature 32 to be attracted by the iron core 33, that is, the armature 32 moves toward the iron core 33, and the moving gap therebetween decreases. When the armature 32 moves, it synchronously drives the push rod 21 to move, causing the sphere 22 to abut against the mouth of the second passage 125 facing the second cavity 122, and the elastic assembly 4 is compressed. At this time, the first passage 124 is opened, the first communication port 1201 and the second communication port 1202 are connected, and the second communication port 1202 and the third communication port 1203 are closed;

[0050] When the electromagnetic generating unit 3 is powered off, the elastic force of the reset spring 42 drives the spring thimble 43 to move, so that the sphere 22 abuts against the mouth of the first channel 124 facing the second cavity 122, and the push rod 21 and the armature 32 also move away from the iron core 33. At this time, the second channel 125 is opened, the third port 1203 is connected to the second port 1202, and the second communication port 1202 is closed with the first communication port 1201.

[0051] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and it should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
