[0002] A drain solenoid valve is an electromagnetically controlled industrial device, a fundamental component of automation used to control fluids, and belongs to the actuator category. Currently, drain solenoid valves on the market have basically the same structure and working principle. The structure of a drain solenoid valve consists of a valve body, valve core, sealing head, annular sealing ring, spring, valve core sleeve, and coil. Its valve body has an inflow channel, an outflow channel, and a valve chamber. Fluid flows from the inflow channel through the valve chamber and then out through the outflow channel.

[0003] The applicant's prior patent CN216843132U discloses a snap-fit ​​installation structure for a drain valve. The sealing plug on the drain valve is driven by an iron core under the action of an electromagnetic coil, cooperating with the outlet of the valve body to achieve sealing or opening. However, this structure places the spring and valve core in the middle, resulting in the overall stress point being in the middle position. Prolonged stress on the sealing head can cause deformation at the center, leading to poor sealing performance in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of the sealing head on the electromagnetic valve requires high precision, often resulting in poor sealing performance due to manufacturing defects.

[0026] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0027] See appendix Figure 1-3This invention provides a water discharge solenoid valve, comprising a valve body 1, a valve core assembly, and an electromagnetic assembly 5. The electromagnetic assembly 5 is sleeved on the valve core assembly. The valve core assembly includes a valve core 2, with a sealing cap 6 connected to its lower end. A water-sealing seat 11 is provided inside the valve body 1. An elastic washer 8, protruding from the upper end of the water-sealing seat 11, is fixedly attached to the upper end of the water-sealing seat 11. The sealing cap 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the valve core 2. Under the driving action of the valve core 2, the sealing cap 6 has a closed position where it seals against the elastic washer 8, blocking the opening at the upper end of the water-sealing seat 11, and an open position where it leaves the elastic washer 8, exposing the opening at the upper end of the water-sealing seat 11. This invention, through this design, effectively replaces the sealing cap 6, which deforms after prolonged stress, and addresses the sealing problems caused by poor manufacturing processes in mass-produced sealing caps. This improves the sealing performance of the device and extends its service life.

[0028] See appendix Figure 2-4 The water-sealing base 11 has an annular groove 111 at its upper end, and the elastic washer 8 is connected within the annular groove 111. The annular groove 111 can be a square groove, a trapezoidal groove with an outer opening width smaller than the bottom width, etc., and the elastic washer 8 and the annular groove 111 can be fitted together. Adhesives or the like can also be added between the annular groove 111 and the elastic washer 8 to achieve a connection. This design makes it easy to connect the elastic washer 8.

[0029] See appendix Figure 3-4 The elastic washer 8 includes an mounting body 821 and a sealing mating part 822. The mounting body 821 is shaped to fit the annular groove 111 and is embedded in the annular groove 111. The sealing mating part 822 protrudes from the upper end of the sealing seat 11 for sealing mating with the sealing cap 6. This design further improves the sealing effect.

[0030] See appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 7 The lower end face of the sealing cap 6 is flat, while the upper end of the sealing mating part 822, which is used to seal with the sealing cap 6, is a convex curved surface. Through this design, the sealing mating part 822 has a certain deformation capability, and its flat fit with the lower end face of the sealing cap 6 enhances the sealing effect to a certain extent.

[0031] See appendix Figure 5 The sealing mating part 822 has a large circumferential cross-section, and its thickness gradually increases from the upper end of the mounting body 821 and then decreases to zero at the top. This design enables the sealing mating part 822 to have variable properties.

[0032] See appendix Figure 3-5The upper end of the sealing seat 11 is provided with a limiting ring 1112 on the inner circumference of the annular groove 111. The outer diameter of the limiting ring 1112 is adapted to the minimum inner diameter of the sealing mating part 822 and is smaller than the inner diameter of the annular groove 111. The upper end of the inner circumference of the annular groove 111 and the lower end of the outer circumference of the limiting ring 1112 are transitioned by two rounded corners. Through this setting, the sealing mating part 822 and the limiting ring are more closely matched, providing a certain deformation space for the sealing mating part 822, which enhances the sealing effect to a certain extent. The chamfer setting ensures that the elastic gasket will not be damaged after deformation, thus extending the service life of the elastic gasket.

[0033] See appendix Figure 2-6 The sealing mating part 822 has a raised outer periphery at its bottom to form a pressure strip ring 81. The upper end of the water sealing seat 11 has a limiting platform 1111 on the outer periphery of the annular groove 111. The water discharge solenoid valve also includes a fixing buckle ring 7, which is snapped together with the water sealing seat 11. The pressure strip ring 81 is limited between the fixing buckle ring 7 and the limiting platform 1111. The sealing cover 6 has a circumferential notch 62 corresponding to the upper end of the fixing buckle ring 7. The fixing buckle ring 7 and the water sealing seat 11 can be snapped together, threaded together, etc. Through this design, the elastic washer 8 is easy to disassemble and assemble, and the fixing buckle ring 7 ensures that it is firmly fixed after assembly.

[0034] See appendix Figure 3-6 The fixing buckle 7 includes a fixing ring 72 and a connecting ring 71. The inner diameter of the fixing ring 72 is adapted to the inner diameter of the pressure strip ring 81, and the inner diameter of the connecting ring 71 is adapted to the outer diameter of the water sealing seat 11. The connecting ring 71 is provided with an annular groove 711, and the water sealing seat 11 is provided with a protruding annular locking block 112 on its outer periphery. The groove 711 and the locking block 112 are adapted to each other. This design allows the fixing buckle 7 to be quickly installed and removed, facilitating cleaning and replacement.

[0035] See appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 7 The sealing cover 6 has a connecting seat 61 at its upper end. The connecting seat 61 is an annular seat with one open end, and its internal shape is adapted to and fits into the head shape of the valve core 2. The lower end of the sealing cover 6 has rounded corners on its circumferential surface. This design simplifies the manufacturing process of the sealing cover 6, facilitates its assembly with the valve core 2, enhances its practicality, and allows for replacement if the sealing cover 6 is damaged and its sealing performance is poor. The rounded corners prevent damage to the elastic gasket during sealing.

[0036] See appendix Figure 1-2The valve core assembly further includes a valve core sleeve 4 and a connecting plate 21 connected together. One end of the valve core sleeve 4 is closed, and the other end is open. The connecting plate 21 is connected to the open end of the valve core sleeve 4 and has a through hole corresponding to the opening of the valve core sleeve 4. The valve core 2 is located inside the valve core sleeve 4. A spring 3 connects the valve core 2 and the valve core sleeve 4. The electromagnetic component 5 is sleeved on the valve core sleeve 4. A base plate 10 is provided between the connecting plate 21 and the electromagnetic component 5. The base plate 10 is connected to the valve body 1 by a nut. The outer diameter of the connecting plate 21 and the inner diameter of the upper end of the valve body 1 are adapted to form a sealing fit with the valve body 1. This design ensures that the sealing cover 6, which is linked to the valve core 2, will not be misaligned, guaranteeing the sealing performance of the device. It also makes the assembly of the device convenient and quick, resulting in a compact structure. The connecting plate 21 is completely embedded inside the valve body 1, further ensuring the sealing effect of the device.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
