One end of the third guide hole 122 is connected to the exhaust port 128, and one end of the eighth guide hole 126 is connected to the exhaust port 127.
[0047] Please see Figures 11 to 16As shown, the end cap 2 has a second connecting channel 201 and a third connecting channel 210 inside. One end of the second connecting channel 201 has a ball bearing 202, and one end of the third connecting channel 210 has a ball bearing 211. The second connecting channel 201 and the third connecting channel 210 are connected and are T-shaped. A piston chamber 216 is formed on one side wall of the end cap 2, corresponding to the medium chamber 107. A piston 217 is slidably installed inside the piston chamber 216. A receiving cavity 203 is formed around the piston chamber 216, and a sealing ring 204 is installed inside the receiving cavity 203. A fourth guide hole 206 and a fifth guide hole 207 are formed inside the piston chamber 216. A mating cavity 215 is also formed on one side wall of the end cap 2, corresponding to the mounting cavity 101. A sixth guide hole 208 and a seventh guide hole 209 are formed inside the mating cavity 215. A fourth connecting channel 212 is formed inside the end cap 2, and a ball bearing 213 is built into one end of the fourth connecting channel 212. It should be noted that the ball bearing is used for sealing. A second guide hole 205 is formed on one side of the receiving cavity 203, and one end of the second guide hole 205 is connected to the third connecting channel 210.
[0048] The piston chamber 216 is connected to the fourth connecting channel 212 through the fourth guide hole 206 and the fifth guide hole 207; the mating chamber 215 is connected to the fourth connecting channel 212 through the sixth guide hole 208 and the seventh guide hole 209.

[0049] It should be noted that the connecting channel is a process hole used for connecting and connecting the various guide holes.
[0050] Working principle: Under ventilation conditions (e.g.) Figure 18As shown), the first air inlet 131 is normally connected to the first air outlet 132 of the working chamber, that is, the first air inlet 131 is connected to the first air outlet 132 of the working chamber through the medium chamber 107; at the same time, a part of the gas enters the second air inlet 123 through the first air inlet 131, enters the first guide hole 121 through the first connecting channel 124, then the first guide hole 121 is connected to the second guide hole 205, enters the third connecting channel 210 through the second guide hole 205, enters the second connecting channel 201 through the third connecting channel 210, and then enters the ninth guide hole. 214 is discharged. Part of the discharged gas is discharged through the channels inside the moving iron core 102 and the stationary iron core 109, and the other part enters the fourth connecting channel 212 through the sixth guide hole 208 and the seventh guide hole 209. After entering the piston chamber 216 through the fourth connecting channel 212, the fourth guide hole 206 and the fifth guide hole 207, the gas enters the piston chamber 216. The gas entering the piston chamber 216 pushes the piston 216 to move. The piston 216 pushes the valve core 108 to move. After moving, the gas becomes exhaust gas and is sent to the exhaust port 127 through the eighth guide hole 126 for discharge.
[0051] In the power-on state (e.g.) Figure 19 As shown, the air inlet 131 is connected to the second air outlet 133 of the working chamber, that is, the air inlet 131 is connected to the second air outlet 133 of the working chamber through the medium chamber 107; at the same time, the coil 6 is energized, generating a magnetic field, causing the moving iron core 102 to move inside the pilot guide 103, so that one end of the moving iron core 102 contacts the ninth guide hole 214, so that the gas discharged through the ninth guide hole 214 is directly discharged through the channels inside the moving iron core 102 and the stationary iron core 109. A part of the gas inside the medium chamber 107 passes through the first circular cavity 31 and the second circular cavity 32, pushing the valve core 108 to move, thereby realizing the reset of the valve core 108 by the spring 33 and the gas. After moving, the gas becomes exhaust gas, and after passing through the third guide hole 122, it is discharged from the exhaust port 128.
[0052] This invention's extended pilot-operated explosion-proof solenoid valve adopts a modular integrated layout, increasing the overall structural compactness and facilitating installation compared to traditional solenoid valve layouts. The valve body 1 and junction box 4 are connected by positioning bolts. The structure is simple, and compared to traditional covers, the self-locking nature of the positioning bolts ensures a tight seal between the valve body 1 and junction box 4, making maintenance safe and convenient. The compact structure saves space and improves the long-term stability and reliability of the valve body 1. The end cap 2 has high machining precision, better sealing, and its position can be adjusted according to installation requirements. This invention's extended pilot-operated explosion-proof solenoid valve has a simple structure, integrating the junction box 4, pilot tube 103, and valve body 1.
