Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solenoid valve technology, specifically to a pilot head assembly and a solenoid valve. Background Technology
[0002] Solenoid valves are electromagnetically controlled industrial devices, fundamental components of automation systems used to control fluids. They are actuators, not limited to hydraulic or pneumatic systems, and are used in industrial control systems to adjust the direction, flow rate, speed, and other parameters of the medium. Solenoid valves can be used with different circuits to achieve the desired control, ensuring both precision and flexibility.
[0003] Pilot-operated solenoid valves are a type of solenoid valve widely used in various industries. The structure of pilot-operated solenoid valves varies depending on the application. The pilot head assembly is a crucial component of the solenoid valve, typically including a sleeve, a moving iron core movably housed within the sleeve, a fixed iron core fixed within the sleeve, and an electromagnetic coil mounted on the outer wall of the sleeve. Its working principle is as follows: when the electromagnetic coil is energized, the fixed iron core attracts the moving iron core to move axially along the sleeve, thereby opening or closing the valve.
[0004] In the current field of industrial automation, solenoid valves are a key control component, and their performance directly affects the stability and reliability of the entire system. However, a common problem is that most existing pilot designs cannot effectively support the free switching function of solenoid valves between normally open and normally closed states. This leads to operational limitations for engineers in practical applications, often requiring additional components or complex configurations to meet this basic requirement. This design deficiency not only increases system complexity but may also introduce potential failure points, affecting the long-term operating efficiency and safety of the equipment. To address this, we propose a pilot assembly and a solenoid valve. Summary of the Invention

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This invention provides a pilot head assembly, including a housing sleeve 1. A first fixed iron core 2 is fixedly connected to the upper inner cavity of the housing sleeve 1, and a first electromagnetic coil 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the housing sleeve 1 corresponding to the position of the first fixed iron core 2. A second fixed iron core 4 is fixedly connected to the lower inner cavity of the housing sleeve 1, and a second electromagnetic coil 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the housing sleeve 1 corresponding to the position of the second fixed iron core 4. A movable iron core piston seat 6 is movably inserted into the bottom of the housing sleeve 1, and a movable iron core push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper end of the movable iron core piston seat 6. The outer wall of the movable iron core push rod 7 corresponds to the position of the second fixed iron core 4 and the movable iron core piston seat. A moving iron core return spring 18 is sleeved between 6, and the upper end of the moving iron core push rod 7 is inserted into the center of the second fixed iron core 4. The upper end of the moving iron core push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting guide tube 8, and the upper end of the connecting guide tube 8 is fixedly connected to the first adsorption block 9 of the moving iron core. The bottom of the moving iron core piston seat 6 is provided with a piston groove, and a sealing plug 12 is movably inserted into the piston groove. A rotating ratchet mechanism is provided at the upper end of the sealing plug 12. The second adsorption block 11 of the moving iron core is slidably inserted into the side wall of the connecting guide tube 8, and the second adsorption block 11 of the moving iron core is fixedly connected to the drive end of the rotating ratchet mechanism.
[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the rotating ratchet mechanism includes a switching push rod 13, which is fixedly connected to the upper center of the sealing plug 12. A locking sleeve 14 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the switching push rod 13. A compression spring 17 is sleeved between the outer wall of the sealing plug 12 and the bottom of the movable slot at the upper end of the moving iron core push rod 7, corresponding to the locking sleeve 14. A ratchet sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable slot of the moving iron core push rod 7. A switching pressure rod 15 is slidably connected inside the ratchet sleeve 16, and the lower edge of the ratchet sleeve 16 is staggered. There are multiple limiting slots 32, and multiple inclined claws 31 are staggered on the upper outer wall of the locking rotating sleeve 14. The multiple inclined claws 31 match the limiting slots 32. The bottom of the switching pressure rod 15 is provided with multiple serrations 30. When the multiple serrations 30 contact the upper inclined surface of the inclined claws 31 and move downward, they generate radial force to drive rotation. The upper end of the locking rotating sleeve 14 is movably inserted into the bottom of the switching pressure rod 15, and the upper end of the switching pressure rod 15 passes through the ratchet sleeve 16 and is fixedly connected to the lower center of the second adsorption block 11 of the moving iron core. The rotating ratchet mechanism, employing the same principle as the press-and-release mechanism of a ballpoint pen's push-button, allows the switching lever 15 to slide within the ratchet sleeve 16 during solenoid valve operation. The up-and-down movement of the second adsorption block 11 on the moving iron core drives the ratchet sleeve 14 to rotate and lock within the ratchet sleeve 16. This, in turn, utilizes the engagement of the serrated teeth 30 and the inclined pawl 31 to effectively switch the solenoid valve between open and closed states, improving its efficiency and stability. Simultaneously, the clamping spring 17 ensures a tight fit between the locking sleeve 14 and the ratchet sleeve 16, preventing loosening from affecting the normal operation of the solenoid valve. Furthermore, this rotating ratchet mechanism is simple in structure, easy to manufacture and maintain, reducing the production and operating costs of the solenoid valve.
[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the outer wall of the switching lever 15 is provided with multiple guide protrusions 29 at equal intervals, and the bottom of the inner wall of the ratchet sleeve 16 is provided with radial guide grooves corresponding to the multiple guide protrusions 29. The cooperative design of the guide protrusions 29 and the radial guide grooves ensures the stable sliding of the switching lever 15 within the ratchet sleeve 16, avoiding possible offset or jamming during the switching process. This design further improves the accuracy and smoothness of the solenoid valve switching action, ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the solenoid valve switching between different working states. At the same time, the structure of the guide protrusions 29 and the radial guide grooves is simple and easy to manufacture, without adding extra burden to the overall structural complexity of the solenoid valve, which is in line with the design intention of this invention to simplify the structure and improve the performance of the solenoid valve.
[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the upper end of the switching push rod 13 and the bottom of the locking sleeve 14 are rotatably connected by a self-lubricating graphite copper sleeve. This connection method not only ensures flexible rotation between the switching push rod 13 and the locking sleeve 14, but also effectively reduces friction between them and extends service life through the characteristics of the self-lubricating graphite copper sleeve. The self-lubricating graphite copper sleeve has good self-lubricating properties and can maintain a low coefficient of friction under unlubricated conditions, thereby reducing heat and wear generated by friction and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the solenoid valve. In addition, this connection method is also convenient for installation and disassembly, which is beneficial for the maintenance and upkeep of the solenoid valve, further improving the practicality and reliability of the solenoid valve.
[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, a magnetic shielding pad 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first adsorption block 9 of the moving iron core, and the upper end of the connecting guide tube 8 passes through the magnetic shielding pad 10 and is fixedly connected to the first adsorption block 9 of the moving iron core. The bottom of the connecting guide tube 8 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the moving iron core push rod 7. The magnetic shielding pad 10 effectively isolates the first adsorption block 9 of the moving iron core from direct contact with the surrounding magnetic materials, preventing unnecessary transmission and interference of magnetic force, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the solenoid valve during operation. The design of the connecting guide tube 8 passing through the magnetic shielding pad 10 and being fixedly connected to the first adsorption block 9 of the moving iron core not only enhances the structural stability but also makes the connection between the moving iron core push rod 7 and the first adsorption block 9 of the moving iron core more reliable. Through the threaded connection, the bottom of the connecting guide tube 8 and the upper end of the moving iron core push rod 7 fit tightly, which is convenient for installation and adjustment and can effectively prevent loosening and falling off, further improving the working efficiency and safety of the solenoid valve.
[0030] Please see Figure 6 A solenoid valve includes the aforementioned pilot head assembly and valve body 19. A pilot cavity 20 is formed at the upper end of the valve body 19, and the lower end of the outer casing 1 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the pilot cavity 20. Multiple limiting contact pins 34 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pilot cavity 20 corresponding to the bottom outer ring position of the moving iron core piston seat 6. A fluid channel is provided at the lower end of the valve body 19, and a main valve seat 21 is provided in the middle of the fluid channel. A main valve core 23 is provided at the upper end of the sealing plug 12, and a conical valve core spring 24 is provided between the upper end of the main valve core 23 and the inner wall of the valve body 19. The pilot chamber 20 is connected to the inner cavities on both sides of the main valve seat 21 in the fluid channel through the balance channel 25 and the pressure relief channel 27 respectively. The pilot chamber 20 is also connected to the inner cavity of the main valve core 23 through the valve core connecting hole 26. A conical pilot valve port 28 is provided at the bottom center of the pilot chamber 20. The pressure relief channel 27 is connected to the inner cavity of the pilot chamber 20 through the conical pilot valve port 28. The conical pilot valve port 28 is a conical structure with the small end facing upward. The upper end of the conical pilot valve port 28 is inserted into the bottom piston groove of the moving iron core piston seat 6 and abuts against the bottom of the sealing plug 12.
[0031] In this embodiment, preferably, a spiral connector 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the outer sleeve 1, and a threaded step is formed at the upper end of the pilot cavity 20 corresponding to the spiral connector 22. An O-ring is fitted on the bottom threaded end of the spiral connector 22. This design makes the connection between the outer sleeve 1 and the valve body 19 tighter, effectively preventing fluid leakage and enhancing the sealing performance of the solenoid valve. As a common sealing element, the O-ring has good elasticity and wear resistance, and can maintain a stable sealing effect during long-term use. In addition, the use of the spiral connector 22 not only facilitates the installation and disassembly of the outer sleeve 1 and the valve body 19, but also improves the overall structural strength of the solenoid valve, making it more durable.
[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, the sidewall of the sealing plug 12 is provided with multiple pressure balancing holes 33 at equal intervals corresponding to the bottom of the piston groove. The design of the pressure balancing holes 33 is to balance the pressure on both sides of the sealing plug 12, preventing the sealing plug 12 from being obstructed due to excessive pressure difference, thereby affecting its operation. During the operation of the solenoid valve, when the fluid flows through the main valve seat 21, a certain pressure change may occur around the main valve core 23 and the sealing plug 12. By providing pressure balancing holes 33, the pressure on both sides of the sealing plug 12 can be effectively balanced, thereby reducing the lateral force on the sealing plug 12 due to pressure difference, and improving its sealing stability and service life.
[0033] The lower edge of the inner wall of the piston groove at the bottom of the moving iron core piston seat 6 is also provided with a limiting protrusion ring, which limits the downward movement end position of the sealing plug 12 to prevent the sealing plug 12 from slipping off.
[0034] Working principle and usage process of this invention:
[0035] When the solenoid valve is in the normally closed state, the rotating ratchet mechanism switches the sealing plug 12 to its lowest position, the solenoid coil is de-energized, the moving iron core return spring 18 pushes the moving iron core piston seat 6 downward, causing the sealing plug 12 to press against the conical pilot valve port 28, closing the pressure relief channel 27. In the main valve state, the main valve core 23 is kept closed by the action of the conical valve core spring 24, and the fluid passage is cut off. When it is necessary to open the solenoid valve, the first solenoid coil 3 is energized, generating a magnetic field to attract the first adsorption block 9 of the moving iron core, which drives the connecting guide cylinder 8 and the moving iron core push rod 7 to move upward. The moving iron core return spring 18 is compressed, the moving iron core piston seat 6 moves upward accordingly, the sealing plug 12 disengages from the conical pilot valve port 28, the pressure relief channel 27 opens, the fluid enters the pilot chamber 20 through the balance channel 25, and is discharged through the pressure relief channel 27. The pressure difference on both sides of the main valve core 23 disappears, the conical valve core spring 24 pushes the main valve core 23 to open, and the fluid passage is opened.
[0036] When the solenoid valve is in the normally open state, the rotary ratchet mechanism switches to the upward retraction of the sealing plug 12. At this time, the moving iron core return spring 18 pushes the moving iron core piston seat 6 downward to abut against the limit contact post 34, thus leaving a gap between the sealing plug 12 and the conical pilot valve port 28. The pressure relief channel 27 opens, and the fluid enters the pilot chamber 20 through the balance channel 25 and is discharged through the pressure relief channel 27. The pressure difference on both sides of the main valve core 23 disappears, and the conical valve core spring 24 pushes the main valve core 23 to open, thus opening the fluid passage. When it is necessary to close the solenoid valve, the second solenoid coil 5 is energized, generating a magnetic field to attract the moving iron. The second adsorption block 11 of the core moves downward, pushing the rotating ratchet mechanism to rotate and push the sealing plug 12 downward. Since the conical pilot valve port 28 is inserted into the piston groove, the downward stroke of the sealing plug 12 is limited and cannot meet the distance requirement of the locking sleeve 14 rotation misalignment. At this time, the sealing plug 12 is pressed against the conical pilot valve port 28 under the dual action of the downward pushing force of the rotating ratchet mechanism and the adsorption force of the second adsorption block 11 of the moving iron core being energized by the second electromagnetic coil 5, closing the pressure relief channel 27. The main valve core 23 is kept closed by the action of the conical valve core spring 24, and the fluid channel is cut off.
[0037] When in mode switching mode, the first electromagnetic coil 3 is energized first, generating a magnetic field that attracts the first adsorption block 9 of the moving iron core, causing the connecting guide cylinder 8 and the moving iron core push rod 7 to move upward, thereby lifting the moving iron core piston seat 6. Then, the second electromagnetic coil 5 is energized. Due to the effect of the magnetic shielding block 10, the attraction of the second electromagnetic coil 5 to the second adsorption block 11 of the moving iron core is much greater than that of the first electromagnetic coil 3 to the second adsorption block 11 of the moving iron core. At this time, the second adsorption block 11 of the moving iron core moves downward, and the bottom sawtooth 30 of the switching pressure rod 15 contacts the inclined claw 31 of the locking rotating sleeve 14, generating a radial rotational force. As the moving iron core piston seat 6 is lifted, the bottom of the sealing plug 12 has enough space to move downward, so that the inclined claw 31 of the locking rotating sleeve 14 can rotate and move to the next limit slot 32. By switching different limit slots 32, the position of the sealing plug 12 is adjusted to adapt to different fluid control requirements.
[0038] By setting up a dual electromagnetic coil structure with a first electromagnetic coil 3 and a second electromagnetic coil 5, and through the coordinated control of the dual electromagnetic coil structure and the rotating ratchet mechanism, stepless switching between the normally open and normally closed states of the solenoid valve is achieved. Utilizing the sawtooth meshing design of the switching lever 15 and the inclined pawl 31, combined with the elastic drive of the moving iron core return spring 18, the stroke of the sealing plug 12 can be precisely positioned through the limiting groove 32 of the ratchet sleeve 16 under different electromagnetic fields. Mode switching is completed without the need for external mechanical devices, solving the pain point of traditional solenoid valves requiring complex external devices for switching.
[0039] The design employs a combination of split fixed iron cores (first fixed iron core 2 and second fixed iron core 4) and magnetic isolation pads 10 to achieve magnetic field isolation between the upper and lower electromagnetic fields, avoiding magnetic circuit interference when both coils operate simultaneously. The first adsorption block 9 and the second adsorption block 11 of the moving iron core form an independent magnetic circuit through the connecting guide tube 8. Combined with the sealing structure of the spiral connector 22, this ensures magnetic adsorption force while reducing magnetic leakage loss, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the moving iron core piston seat 6 by more than 40%, significantly enhancing the stability and response speed of the valve action.
[0040] The innovative conical pilot valve port 28 and piston groove insertion design, combined with the rotating ratchet drive mechanism of the sealing plug 12, form a double seal in the closed state: mechanical locking is achieved through the downward pressure of the rotating ratchet mechanism, while the elasticity of the conical valve core spring 24 enhances the sealing surface fit. Actual test data shows that this structure reduces the leakage rate to below 0.01 mL / min and increases the pressure resistance to the 25 MPa level, making it particularly suitable for high-pressure fluid control scenarios.
[0041] The moving iron core push rod 7 and the connecting guide cylinder 8 are connected by threads. Together with the replaceable locking sleeve 14 and switching pressure rod 15 module, the key wear parts can be quickly replaced. By adjusting the distribution density of the limit slots 32, it can adapt to working conditions with different stroke requirements. Actual tests have proven that it can cover the precision stroke adjustment requirements of 0.5-3mm, meeting the differentiated control needs of multiple industries such as chemical and hydraulic industries.
[0042] This invention features a compact structure, simple operation, and superior sealing performance. Through an innovative conical pilot valve port design, combined with precise control of a rotary ratchet mechanism, stepless switching between normally open and normally closed states of the solenoid valve is achieved, significantly improving the flexibility and accuracy of fluid control. Simultaneously, the combination of a split-type fixed iron core and a magnetic shielding pad effectively avoids magnetic circuit interference when two coils operate simultaneously, further enhancing the stability and response speed of valve action. Furthermore, this pilot head assembly and solenoid valve also possess significant advantages such as high pressure resistance and low leakage rate, making them particularly suitable for high-pressure fluid control scenarios, providing an efficient and reliable solution for fluid control in industries such as chemical and hydraulic systems.
