Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electromagnets for hydraulic valves, and in particular to an integrated electromagnet device for mining applications. Background Technology
[0002] The solenoid pilot valve for mining is an important control component in the hydraulic system of hydraulic supports. Its performance directly affects the safety and reliability of the hydraulic support system.
[0003] In related technologies, hydraulic valves are developing towards intelligence, miniaturization, and lightweight design. Existing mining electromagnet assemblies mainly have two structural methods: 1. Split installation method: Both the armature guide sleeve and the yoke are mounted on the housing via interference fit; 2. Integrated installation method: The armature guide sleeve and yoke are connected together by welding, and then machined. The split installation method requires ensuring the coaxiality of the armature guide sleeve and yoke, demanding high machining precision and increasing the difficulty of machining and assembly. The integrated installation method not only increases the welding process but also requires higher welding technology and machining standards.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mining electromagnet device that is more integrated in structure, easier to assemble, and more reliable. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to provide a mining electromagnet device with a more integrated structure, simpler assembly, and higher reliability, this application provides an integrated mining electromagnet device.
[0006] The integrated electromagnet device for mining provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: An integrated electromagnet device for mining includes a one-piece molded housing with a cavity formed inside. An armature assembly is disposed within the cavity, and a yoke is disposed below the armature assembly. The yoke is fixed relative to the housing. A coil assembly is sleeved on the outside of the armature assembly and the yoke. The armature assembly slides vertically within the cavity. When the coil assembly is energized, it controls the armature assembly to move closer to the yoke. A reset component for resetting the armature assembly is also disposed within the cavity. Two cavities are formed at intervals along the horizontal direction within the housing. A PCBA board for controlling the on / off state of the circuit within the two coil assemblies is electrically connected between them. An end cap assembly is disposed at the upper end of the housing in the height direction.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, two horizontally distributed chambers are formed internally through a one-piece molded shell, respectively accommodating the armature assembly and the yoke, and together with the coil assembly, forming an electromagnet working unit. The PCBA board enables independent on / off control of the two coil assemblies, allowing the electromagnet assembly to complete bidirectional attraction actions according to control signals. The armature assembly moves towards the yoke under the action of electromagnetic force, and is driven back to its original position by a reset component after power is cut off. This structure makes the electromagnet module highly integrated, compact, flexible in control, and easy to assemble and maintain.
[0008] Preferably, the armature assembly includes an armature and a push rod. The lower side of the armature is formed with a groove, the upper end of the push rod is embedded in the groove, the push rod is fixed relative to the armature, and the lower end of the push rod passes through the yoke in the vertical direction and slides with it.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, a reliable connection structure is formed by creating a groove on the lower side of the armature and fixing it to the push rod. The push rod passes through the yoke and slides with it, realizing stable guidance and axial movement of the armature assembly, making the engagement and return actions smoother, reducing offset and jamming, and improving the reliability and accuracy of the electromagnetic response.
[0010] Preferably, an upper bearing is sleeved on the upper side of the armature, the upper bearing is embedded in the housing, and the upper end of the armature slides with the upper bearing in the vertical direction.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper bearing is embedded inside the housing and slides in conjunction with the upper end of the armature, effectively achieving low-friction guidance of the armature in the vertical direction, improving motion smoothness, and reducing wear. The bearing structure enhances the durability and service life of the electromagnet assembly, ensuring its reliability in environments with frequent operation.
[0012] Preferably, each of the chambers includes a mounting hole for mounting an upper bearing, a sliding hole for mounting an armature assembly is formed on the lower side of the mounting hole, a coil hole for embedding a coil assembly is formed coaxially on the outer side of the sliding hole, an embedding hole for mounting a yoke is also formed at the lower end of the mounting hole, a mounting groove for mounting a PCBA board is formed between the two chambers, and a connecting hole for threading the coil assembly is formed between the mounting groove and the two coil holes respectively.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation holes, sliding holes, coil holes and embedding holes are formed sequentially in the cavity, so as to achieve precise positioning and high integration of each functional component. At the same time, the PCBA board mounting slots and connecting holes facilitate electrical connection and cable routing, simplify the assembly process, and improve the overall compatibility and wiring efficiency of the system's electrical and structural modules.
[0014] Preferably, by sequentially forming mounting holes, sliding holes, coil holes, and embedding holes within the cavity, precise positioning and highly integrated arrangement of each functional component are achieved. At the same time, the PCBA board mounting slots and connecting holes facilitate electrical connections and cable routing, simplify the assembly process, and improve the overall compatibility and wiring efficiency of the system's electrical and structural modules.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower bearing is sleeved on the push rod and embedded in the bearing hole on the yoke, sliding and engaging with the push rod to ensure the guiding stability of the lower end of the armature assembly and reduce movement deviation. The spring, as a reset component, is installed in the positioning hole. After being energized and engaged, it can quickly spring back when de-energized, effectively realizing the self-reset function and improving response speed and reliability.
[0016] Preferably, the armature further includes an armature block, the upper end of which is provided with a push rod, and the two ends of the armature block along the axial direction are respectively provided with an upper copper washer and a lower copper washer. The upper copper washer is sleeved on the push rod, and the lower copper washer is sleeved on the push rod. The push rod is glued and fixed to the groove on the armature block.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the armature block is connected to the push rod by adhesive bonding, and upper copper pads and lower copper pads are respectively set at both ends. The pads can provide buffering during the attraction or return process, prevent metal-to-metal contact from causing impact, and improve the overall electromagnetic drive performance and structural stability.

A socket assembly is also provided for electrical connection / disconnection. Operators can manually engage the armature assembly by pressing the dust cap, thereby pushing it closer to the yoke. Two dust caps covering the top of the chamber effectively prevent dust and moisture from entering the internal working mechanism, improving sealing and the equipment's reliability in mining environments.
[0020] Preferably, the two dust caps are injection molded as a single unit, with an integrally formed mounting plate on each of the two dust caps. The mounting plate has a positioning groove formed on it, and the stainless steel end cap has a protrusion formed on it.

The leads are protected by heat-shrink tubing and pass through through-holes, improving the mechanical protection performance and electrical safety of the wires and ensuring reliable connection in long-term vibration environments.
[0024] Preferably, an O-ring is fitted at the lower end of the yoke, the yoke is interference-fitted with the embedded hole, a sealing groove is formed at the lower end of the yoke, the lower end of the armature assembly passes through the sealing groove, and a frameless oil seal is provided in the sealing groove.

The top rod passes through the sealing groove, and a frameless oil seal is placed inside the sealing groove, which effectively achieves oil sealing and pollution isolation at the lower end of the armature assembly, and improves the sealing performance and service life of the assembly under high humidity and high dust conditions.
[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Through the one-piece molded shell structure, multiple functional chambers and holes are directly formed inside the shell, realizing the integrated arrangement of multiple functional components such as armature assembly, yoke, coil assembly, PCBA board, etc., eliminating the welding and complex assembly process, making the overall electromagnet assembly structure more compact and the layout more reasonable, effectively saving installation space; 2.

[0036] See Figures 1-3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The end cap assembly 2 includes a stainless steel end cap 21 that is detachably fixed to the housing 1 by countersunk bolts 22. A socket assembly 23 for supplying power to the PCBA board 6 is mounted on the stainless steel end cap 21. The socket assembly 23 may include conductive posts and a threaded housing. A dust cap 24 for pressing and pushing the armature assembly 3 is also embedded in the stainless steel end cap 21. The dust cap 24 is an injection-molded one-piece structure. Two dust caps 24 are correspondingly arranged in the chamber 11. A mounting plate 241 is integrally formed on each of the two dust caps 24. A positioning groove 242 is formed on the mounting plate 241, corresponding to the mounting groove 12. A protrusion 211 is formed on the stainless steel end cap 21, and the protrusion 211 is embedded in the positioning groove 242. The stainless steel end cap 21 and the two dust caps 24 are integrally formed. When manual operation is required, the operator can manually press the dust cap 24. The dust cap 24 pushes the armature assembly 3 to move closer to the yoke 5. The armature block 31 abuts against the yoke 5, thereby causing the push rod 33 to push the valve core of the electromagnetic pilot valve, realizing the manual opening of the electromagnetic pilot valve port.
[0037] An O-ring 54 is embedded on the lower circumferential side of the yoke 5, with the side of the O-ring 54 protruding from the circumferential side of the yoke 5.

The implementation principle of the integrated electromagnet device for mining according to this application embodiment is as follows: During the installation operation, the worker first installs the upper bearing 322, the push rod 33 is fixedly connected to the armature block 31 in advance, the upper copper washer 323 is sleeved on the push rod 32 so that the push rod 32 passes through the upper bearing 322, the lower copper washer 332 is installed, and the coil assembly 4 is installed so that the lead wires 43 of the two coil assemblies 4 pass out from the connecting hole 13. Then the yoke 5 is installed so that the push rod 33 passes through the yoke 5 and the lower bearing 331 inside the yoke 5, the O-ring 54 is sleeved on the yoke 5 in advance so that the yoke 5 is interference-fitted with the side wall of the embedded hole 111, and then the frameless oil seal 55 is installed. The PCBA board 6 is installed in the mounting groove 12 so that the two lead wires 43 are electrically connected to the PCBA board 6, and then the stainless steel end cap 21 with the dust cap 24 is fixed to the housing 1 by the countersunk bolt 22. The socket assembly 23 is pre-installed on the stainless steel end cap 21. During use, the operator powers the PCBA board 6 via the socket assembly 23. The PCBA board 6 controls whether to power the corresponding coil assembly 4. When the coil assembly 4 is powered, an electromagnetic field is generated. This electromagnetic field drives the armature assembly 3 to move along its own axis towards the side closer to the yoke 5, which is the attraction process. The air gap between the armature block 31 and the yoke 5 decreases until the lower copper pad 332 abuts against the upper surface of the yoke 5, and the armature assembly 3 stops moving. When the PCBA board 6 controls the coil assembly 4 to be de-powered, the electromagnetic field disappears, and the armature block 31 resets to the side away from the yoke 5 under the action of the spring 333. The armature assembly 3 returns to its initial position, which is the recovery process.
