[0030] See also Figure 1 and 2 In one embodiment, the solenoid valve includes a valve body assembly 100, a valve core assembly 200, a piston assembly 300, a first iron core 400, a second iron core 500 and a push rod 600. The valve body assembly 100 includes a valve sleeve 110, a main body 120 and a valve cover 130. The valve sleeve 110 is fixedly connected to the valve cover 130 by welding or other connection methods, and the valve cover 130 is connected to the main body 120.

[0031] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the valve sleeve 110 includes a main body section 111, a large diameter section 113, and a reducing section 112 connecting the main body section 111 and the large diameter section 113, the diameter of the large diameter section 113 is larger than the diameter of the main body section 111, and the valve sleeve 110 is interference fit and welded with the large diameter section 113 and the valve cover 130.

[0032] It should be noted that, since the diameter of the large diameter section 113 is larger than the diameter of the main body section 111, the diameter of the reducing section 112 tends to increase along the direction from the main body section 111 to the large diameter section 113. In order to facilitate the connection between the valve sleeve 110 and the valve cover 130, the large diameter section 113 and the valve cover 130 are interference fit and welded, and the reducing section 112 and the valve cover 130 can be fitted or gap fit, and the main body section 111 and the valve cover can be gap fit or interference fit and welded, which are not specifically limited here. The valve cover 130 is provided with an inclined section matching the reducing section 112, and the inclined section cooperates with the reducing section 112 to prevent the valve sleeve 110 from slipping out from the top of the valve cover 130. Since it is impossible to ensure that the inclination angle of the reducing section 112 can completely fit and connect with the inclined section of the tilting valve cover 130, the distance between the reducing section 112 and the inclined section is greater than or equal to zero, that is, the reducing section 112 cannot simultaneously have the functions of connecting with the valve cover 130 and preventing the valve sleeve 110 from coming out. Therefore, a large diameter section 113 can be added, and the large diameter section 113 can be connected with the valve cover 130, and the inclined section can still play the role of preventing the valve sleeve 110 from coming out from above the valve cover 130.

[0033] The valve body assembly 100 is provided with a valve cavity 140, the valve core assembly 200, the piston assembly 300, the first iron core 400, the second iron core 500 and the push rod 600 are all provided in the valve cavity 140, and the main body 120 is provided with a main valve port 121, a flow path inlet 122 and a flow path outlet 123 which can be respectively connected to the valve cavity 140, and the fluid can enter the valve cavity 140 through the flow path inlet 122 in sequence, and can enter the flow path outlet 123 through the main valve port 121. One end of the piston assembly 300 is movably sealed with the main valve port 121 to open or close the main valve port 121, and the end of the piston assembly 300 away from the main valve port 121 is provided with a pilot valve port 311, and the piston assembly 300 is also provided with a first through hole 312 connecting the pilot valve port 311 and the main valve port 121.

[0034] The first iron core 400 is disposed at one end of the valve sleeve 110 away from the main body 120, and a part of the second iron core 500 is disposed in the valve sleeve 110, and the other part extends into the main body 120. The first iron core 400 is provided with a first cavity 410, and the second iron core 500 is provided with a second cavity 510. One end of the valve core assembly 200 is movably inserted into the first cavity 410, and the other end passes through the second cavity 510 and is movably sealed with the pilot valve port 311. A first elastic member 700 (including but not limited to a spring structure) is provided between the push rod 600 and the valve core assembly 200, and the first elastic member 700 can exert an elastic force on the valve core assembly 200 away from the push rod 600.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, one end of the push rod 600 abuts against the inner wall of the valve sleeve 110 away from the main valve port 121, and the other end extends into the first cavity 410 and cooperates with the inner wall of the first cavity 410. The other end of the push rod 600 is limited in the first cavity 410, and the first elastic member 700 is located in the first cavity 410. The two ends of the first elastic member 700 respectively abut against the push rod 600 and the valve stem 220. The other end of the push rod 600 can be limited by setting a riveted edge on the top of the first iron core 400.

[0036] In this way, the first elastic member 700 can be always located in the first cavity 410, thereby preventing the first elastic member 700 from extending out of the first cavity 410 and being easily bent and deformed, thereby preventing the first elastic member 700 from bending and deforming and causing friction and fracture between itself and the first iron core 400. That is, such a configuration improves the service life of the first elastic member 700.

[0037] More specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the push rod 600 includes a rod body 610 and an outer protrusion 620 , the outer protrusion 620 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rod body 610 or is integrally formed with the rod body 610 , and one end of the first elastic member 700 away from the valve core assembly 200 stops at the outer protrusion 620 .

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, a second elastic member 800 is disposed between the first core 400 and the second core 500. One end of the second elastic member 800 abuts against the first core 400, and the other end abuts against the second core 500, so as to apply thrust to the first core 400 and the second core 500 respectively.

[0039] By providing the second elastic member 800 , it can be ensured that when the solenoid valve is powered off, the second elastic member 800 can push open the valve core assembly 200 , thereby ensuring the opening of the pilot valve port 311 .

[0040] Further, the second core 500 is provided with a mounting hole 513 facing the first core 400, at least part of the second elastic member 800 is located in the mounting hole 513, the first core 400 is provided with a protrusion 420, one end of the second elastic member 800 abuts against the second core 500, and the other end abuts against the protrusion. When the solenoid valve is in a closed state, at least part of the protrusion 420 is located in the mounting hole 513.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the second iron core 500 is provided with a mounting hole 513 which is coaxially arranged and connected to the second cavity 510, and the mounting hole 513 is arranged at one end of the second cavity 510 close to the first iron core 400, and the diameter of the mounting hole 513 is larger than the diameter of the second cavity 510, so that a first limiting step 514 is formed between the mounting hole 513 and the second cavity 510, at least a part of the second elastic member 800 is arranged in the mounting hole 513, and one end of the second elastic member 800 abuts against the first limiting step 514, and the other end abuts against the first iron core 400.

[0042] This is beneficial for the installation of the second elastic member 800 .

[0043] Furthermore, the second elastic member 800 is sleeved on the outer side of the valve core assembly 200 .

[0044] Furthermore, in one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the mounting hole 513 includes a first hole section and a second hole section 515, the first hole section is connected to the second cavity 510, the second hole section 515 is an expanded hole, the second hole section 515 is coaxially arranged and connected to the mounting hole 513, and the second hole section 515 is arranged at one end of the mounting hole 513 close to the first iron core 400, and the diameter of the second hole section 515 is larger than the diameter of the first hole section, so that a second limiting step 516 is formed between the first hole section and the second hole section 515. The protrusion 420 is movably matched with the second hole section 515, and when the coil 900 of the solenoid valve is powered off, at least part of the protrusion 420 extends into the second hole section 515 away from the end of the first iron core 400. The protrusion 420 can limit the second elastic member 800 to prevent the second elastic member 800 from detaching from the mounting hole 513.

[0045] In this way, the second elastic member 800 can be always located in the second cavity 510, thereby preventing the second elastic member 800 from extending out of the second cavity 510 and being easily bent and deformed, thereby preventing the second elastic member 800 from bending and deforming and causing friction and fracture between itself and the second iron core 500. That is, such a configuration improves the service life of the second elastic member 800.

[0046] It should be noted that when the coil 900 of the solenoid valve is in a power-off state, the second elastic member 800 can push the first iron core 400 and the second iron core 500 in opposite directions and put the first elastic member 700 in a compressed state.

[0047] The working process of the solenoid valve is as follows:

[0048] When the coil 900 of the solenoid valve is energized, the first iron core 400 and the second iron core 500 overcome the elastic force of the second elastic member 800 under the action of the electromagnetic force and attract each other. At this time, the first elastic member 700 stretches and pushes the valve core assembly 200 to move downward, so that the valve core assembly 200 contacts and closes the pilot valve port 311.

[0049] Afterwards, under the driving action of the first elastic member 700 and the liquid pressure, the valve core assembly 200 and the piston assembly 300 continue to move downward, and the piston assembly 300 closes the main valve port 121;

[0050] It should be noted that if Figure 2 As shown, the piston assembly 300 is also provided with a second through hole 313, and the second through hole 313 passes through one end of the piston assembly 300 close to the main valve port 121 and one end of the piston assembly 300 close to the second iron core 500. In this way, when the main valve port 121 is closed, the fluid can enter the valve chamber 140 on one side of the piston assembly 300 close to the second iron core 500 through the second through hole 313 to increase the hydraulic pressure of the valve chamber 140 on this side and increase the pressure of the piston assembly 300 on the main valve port 121.

[0051] When the coil 900 of the solenoid valve is powered off, the attraction force between the first iron core 400 and the second iron core 500 disappears. At this time, under the thrust of the second elastic member 800, the first iron core 400 moves away from the main valve port 121 and drives the valve core assembly 200 to open the pilot valve port 311. The fluid above the piston assembly 300 flows to the flow path outlet 123 through the pilot valve port 311. Moreover, under the high pressure of the fluid at the flow path inlet 122, the piston assembly 300 drives the second iron core 500 to slide upward. At this time, the piston assembly 300 opens the main valve port 121.

[0052] In the solenoid valve of the present application, the first iron core 400 and the second iron core 500 are movably matched with the valve sleeve 110 .

[0053] In order to improve the assembly accuracy of the solenoid valve and the assembly efficiency of the solenoid valve. Figure 2As shown, the valve core assembly 200 includes a sealing portion 210 and a valve stem portion 220, and the valve core assembly 200 is movably sealed with the pilot valve port 311 through the sealing portion 210. One end of the valve stem portion 220 is movably inserted into the first cavity 410 and can be stopped at one end of the first cavity 410 close to the second iron core 500 to prevent the valve stem portion 220 from being separated from the first cavity 410 from the lower end of the first iron core 400, and the other end of the valve stem portion 220 passes through the second cavity 510 and is connected to the sealing portion 210, and the sealing portion 210 is stopped at one end of the second iron core 500 away from the first iron core 400 to limit the movement of the valve stem portion 220 and prevent the sealing portion 210 from being separated from the second cavity 510 through the second cavity 510. In this way, the first iron core 400, the second iron core 500, the sealing portion 210 and the valve stem portion 220 can be assembled into a whole that does not separate from each other before the next step of installation.

[0054] During the assembly of the solenoid valve, the second elastic member 800 may be firstly arranged between the first iron core 400 and the second iron core 500, and then the valve stem 220 may be sequentially arranged in the first cavity 410 and the second cavity 510, and then the sealing member 210 may be installed at one end of the valve stem 220 that passes through the second cavity 510, and finally, the first elastic member 700 may be arranged at one end of the first cavity 410 away from the valve stem 220. Since the valve stem 220 is arranged at one end of the first cavity 410 and is limitedly matched with the first cavity 410, and the sealing member 210 is stopped at one end of the second iron core 500 away from the first iron core 400, so as to limit the movement of the valve stem 220. Therefore, under the limiting action of the valve core assembly 200, the first iron core 400, the second iron core 500 and the valve core assembly 200 can be assembled together, and without removing the sealing member 210, the first iron core 400, the second iron core 500 and the valve core assembly 200 will not disintegrate. In this way, when assembling the solenoid valve, the first iron core 400, the second iron core 500, the valve core assembly 200, the first elastic member 700 and the second elastic member 800 can be assembled to form an assembly, and then the above-mentioned assembly can be installed as a whole in the valve sleeve 110, which is beneficial to improve the assembly accuracy of the solenoid valve, as well as improve the assembly efficiency of the solenoid valve.

[0055] Further, in one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the valve core assembly 200 also includes a limiting portion 230, and the inner wall of the first cavity 410 is provided with a limiting protrusion 411 corresponding to the limiting portion 230, the limiting portion 230 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the valve stem portion 220 or is integrally formed with the valve stem portion 220, and the limiting portion 230 is movably matched with the inner wall of the first cavity 410 and can be stopped at the end of the limiting protrusion 411 away from the main valve port 121.

[0056] More specifically, the limiting portion 230 and the inner wall of the first cavity 410 cooperate with each other in a guiding manner, so that the valve stem portion 220 can be prevented from being eccentric.

[0057] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, when the coil 900 is powered on, the limiting portion 230 and the limiting protrusion 411 are spaced apart, so that when the coil 900 is powered off, there is an idle stroke between the limiting portion 230 and the limiting protrusion 411 during the upward movement of the first iron core 400. Such a configuration can, on the one hand, ensure that the first iron core 400 is not subjected to force when moving upward, ensure that the first iron core 400 has an upward movement impulse, and improve the valve opening capacity of the solenoid valve. On the other hand, the limiting protrusion 411 will not block the limiting portion 230, and can ensure the sealing of the pilot valve port 311 when it is closed.

[0058] In order to further prevent the valve core assembly 200 from being eccentric, in one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the inner wall of the second iron core 500 is provided with a sealing guide hole 511 which is coaxially arranged with itself, the inner diameter of the sealing guide hole 511 is larger than the inner diameter of the second cavity 510, and a stop step 512 is formed between the sealing guide hole 511 and the second cavity 510, the sealing part 210 and the inner wall guide of the sealing guide hole 511 are matched, and the sealing part 210 stops at the stop step 512.

[0059] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the sealing part 210 includes a connector 211 and a sealing head 212. The connector 211 is clamped, screwed or welded to the valve stem 220, and the connector 211 can be stopped at one end of the second iron core 500 away from the first iron core 400. The sealing head 212 is installed on the connector 211, and the sealing part 210 is movably sealed with the pilot valve port 311 through the sealing head 212. The sealing head 212 is made of rubber, silicone or soft plastic.

[0060] This is beneficial to the assembly of the sealing portion 210 and the valve stem portion 220 , and can improve the sealing performance of the pilot valve port 311 .

[0061] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, a clamping hole 2111 is provided at one end of the connecting head 211 facing the guide valve port 311 , and the sealing head 212 is fixedly disposed in the clamping hole 2111 .

[0062] In one embodiment, the height value of the first iron core 400 protruding from the coil 900 is constant and greater than or equal to zero. Specifically, when the coil 900 of the solenoid valve is energized, the vertical distance m between the end face of the first iron core 400 away from the second iron core 500 and the pilot valve port 311, and the vertical distance n between the end face of the coil 900 away from the piston assembly 300 and the pilot valve port 311 satisfy m>n. Since when the coil 900 of the solenoid valve is energized, the vertical height of the first iron core 400 is the lowest, that is, when the solenoid valve is set vertically, the height of the upper end face of the first iron core 400 is always higher than the height of the upper end face of the coil 900.

[0063] In this way, when the height of the upper end surface of the first iron core 400 is lower than the height of the upper end surface of the coil 900, the coil 900 generates an upward suction force on the first iron core 400, and the suction force will hinder the first elastic member 700 from pushing the first iron core 400 downward. In other words, such a configuration can prevent the coil 900 from hindering the first elastic member 700 from pushing the first iron core 400 downward, that is, avoid the opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve from being affected.

[0064] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the piston assembly 300 includes a plug body 310, a sealing ring 320 and an extension 330. The piston assembly 300 is guided and matched with the inner wall of the plug body 310 and the valve cavity 140. The pilot valve port 311, the first through hole 312 and the second through hole 313 are all provided on the plug body 310. The extension 330 is fixedly provided at one end of the plug body 310 close to the main valve port 121, and the extension 330 is provided with a channel hole 331. The pilot valve port 311 can be connected to the main valve port 121 in sequence through the first through hole 312 and the channel hole 331. The sealing ring 320 is sleeved on the outer side of the extension 330, and the piston assembly 300 is movably sealed and matched with the main valve port 121 through the sealing ring 320.

[0065] Such a configuration is conducive to the assembly of the sealing ring 320 and reduces the difficulty of assembling the piston assembly 300 .

[0066] Similarly, in order to improve the sealing performance of the piston assembly 300, the sealing ring 320 is made of rubber, silicone or soft plastic.

[0067] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the outer side of the plug body 310 may also be provided with an integrally formed or fixedly connected peripheral edge 340 , the inner side of the sealing ring 320 is sleeved on the extension portion 330 , and the outer side of the sealing ring 320 abuts against the peripheral edge 340 .

[0068] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the vertical distance p between the end surface of the extension portion 330 away from the pilot valve port 311 and the pilot valve port 311, and the vertical distance q between the main valve port 121 and the pilot valve port 311, satisfy, p>q. That is, when the solenoid valve is vertically arranged, the height of the end surface of the extension portion 330 away from the pilot valve port 311 is lower than the height of the main valve port 121.

[0069] In this way, when the piston assembly 300 moves in a direction away from the main valve port 121 to open the main valve port 121, a part of the extension portion 330 can be located in the main valve port 121, which can effectively increase the pressure difference on both sides of the plug body 310, thereby reducing the movement resistance of the piston assembly 300. The lower the position of the end surface of the extension portion 330 away from the pilot valve port 311 relative to the main valve port 121, the greater the pressure difference between the two ends of the piston assembly 300. When the main valve port 121 is opened, a large pressure difference acts on the piston assembly 300, which can reduce the overall valve opening driving force.

[0070] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the piston assembly 300 also includes a buffer ring 350, which is sleeved on the outer side of the extension portion 330. The cross-sectional area of ​​the buffer ring 350 tends to decrease from the sealing ring 320 to the head of the extension portion 330 (that is, the end of the extension portion 330 away from the pilot valve port 311).

[0071] Specifically, the buffer ring 350 is in a tapered cylindrical shape as a whole.

[0072] Such a configuration is beneficial for the piston assembly 300 to buffer the fluid, avoid turbulence of the fluid, and reduce the noise of the solenoid valve.

[0073] The present application also provides a method for assembling a solenoid valve, the method comprising the following steps:

[0074] The second elastic member 800 is disposed between the first iron core 400 and the second iron core 500;

[0075] The valve stem 220 is sequentially inserted into the first cavity 410 and the second cavity 510 from one end of the first cavity 410 away from the second iron core 500, and the end of the valve stem 220 disposed in the first cavity 410 is limitedly matched with the first cavity 410, so that the valve stem 220 cannot be separated from the lower part of the first iron core 400;

[0076] The sealing portion 210 is installed at one end of the valve stem portion 220 passing through the second cavity 510 , and the sealing portion 210 is stopped outside the second cavity 510 so that the sealing portion 210 cannot pass through the second cavity 510 and separate from the second iron core 500 .

[0077] Furthermore, the assembly method of the solenoid valve also includes the following steps:

[0078] Install the piston assembly 300 into the inner cavity of the main body 120;

[0079] Connect the valve sleeve 110 to the valve cover 130;

[0080] Placing the first elastic member 700 in the first cavity 410;

[0081] Insert one end of the push rod 600 into the first cavity 410, so that the two ends of the first elastic member 700 are respectively in contact with the valve stem 220 and the push rod 600; and make one end of the push rod 600 limitedly cooperate with the first iron core 400, and one end of the push rod 600 cannot be separated from the upper part of the first iron core 400;

[0082] Put the second elastic member 800, the first iron core 400, the second iron core 500, the sealing part 210, the valve stem part 220, the first elastic member, and the push rod 600 into the valve sleeve 110 as a whole, so that the other end of the push rod 600 abuts against the valve sleeve 110;

[0083] The valve cover 130 is connected to the body portion 120 .

[0084] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described.
