[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a solenoid valve, which includes a valve body assembly 10, a piston assembly 20 and a pilot valve assembly 30. The valve body assembly 10 has a flow chamber 100, and the two ends of the flow chamber 100 have a first valve port 101 and a second valve port 102 arranged oppositely. The piston assembly 20 is arranged in the circulation chamber 100, and the piston assembly 20 has a piston chamber 200. The piston assembly 20 has a first piston 21 and a second piston 22 arranged opposite to each other. The first piston 21 is arranged corresponding to the first valve port 101, and the first piston 21 can move relative to the first valve port 101 to block or open the first valve port 101. The second piston 22 is arranged corresponding to the second valve port 102, and the second piston 22 can move relative to the second valve port 102 to block or open the second valve port 102. The piston assembly 20 also has an elastic member 24, which is arranged in the piston chamber 200. One end of the elastic member 24 is connected to the first piston 21, and the other end of the elastic member 24 is connected to the second piston 22. The elastic member 24 is used to provide an elastic force to move the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 away from each other. The pilot valve assembly 30 is arranged on the valve body assembly 10, and the pilot valve assembly 30 has a pilot valve chamber 300, which is connected to the piston chamber 200 and is used to adjust the pressure in the piston chamber 200.

[0037] By applying the technical solution provided by the utility model, the two ends of the circulation chamber 100 are provided with a first valve port 101 and a second valve port 102 which are arranged opposite to each other. When the solenoid valve is in the process of opening, the pilot valve assembly 30 controls the pressure in the piston chamber 200 to drop. The pressure of the fluid on the high-pressure side is greater than the sum of the elastic force of the elastic member 24 and the pressure of the fluid in the piston chamber 200 on the first piston 21 or the second piston 22. The fluid on the high-pressure side can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 24 and push one of the first piston 21 or the second piston 22 to open the corresponding first valve port 101 or the second valve port 102. The fluid can enter the circulation chamber 100, and the first piston 2 1 and the other of the second pistons can open the corresponding first valve port 101 or the second valve port 102 under the drive of the fluid; when the solenoid valve is in the process of closing, the pilot valve assembly 30 controls the pressure in the piston chamber 200 to rise, and the pressure of the high-pressure side fluid or the low-pressure side fluid will be less than the sum of the elastic force of the elastic member 24 and the pressure of the fluid in the piston chamber 200 on the first piston 21 or the second piston 22. Under the push of the elastic member 24, the first piston 21 moves toward the first valve port 101 to block the first valve port 101, and the second piston 22 moves toward the second valve port 102 to block the second valve port 102, and the fluid cannot pass through the valve body assembly 10. During the process of opening and closing the solenoid valve, because the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 share the elastic member 24, the arrangement space of the elastic member 24 is larger, so that an elastic member with smaller stiffness can be used to reduce the force difference of the elastic member 24, and make the action of the elastic member 24 more reliable: when the solenoid valve is opening, the length of the elastic member 24 is longer, and the elastic force of the elastic member 24 is smaller at this time, so that the fluid can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 24 and facilitate the opening of the solenoid valve; when the solenoid valve is closing, the elastic member 24 is compressed and the length is shorter. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member 24 is larger, so that the elastic member 24 can overcome the pressure of the fluid and facilitate the closing of the solenoid valve.

[0038] Specifically in one embodiment of the present application, the elastic member 24 is a spring.

[0039] In the present application, the first valve port 101 is connected to the first connecting pipe 1, and the second valve port 102 is connected to the second connecting pipe 2. The pilot valve assembly 30 has a pilot valve cavity 300, and the pilot valve cavity 300 is connected to the piston cavity 200. The pilot valve assembly 30 also has a first flow channel 301 and a second flow channel 302. One end of the first flow channel 301 is connected to the first connecting pipe 1, and the other end of the first flow channel 301 is connected to the pilot valve cavity 300. One end of the second flow channel 302 is used to communicate with the second connecting pipe 2, and the other end of the second flow channel 302 is connected to the pilot valve cavity 300. The pilot valve assembly 30 has a relatively set open state and a closed state. When the pilot valve assembly 30 is in the open state, one of the first connecting pipe 1 and the second connecting pipe 2 is connected to the pilot valve cavity 300, the first piston 21 opens the first valve port 101, and the second piston 22 opens the second valve port 102; when the pilot valve assembly 30 is in the closed state, the first piston 21 blocks the first valve port 101, and the second piston 22 blocks the second valve port 102. With the above arrangement, no matter what the flow direction of the fluid in the first connecting pipe 1 and the second connecting pipe 2 is, one of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 can block the corresponding first valve port 101 or the second valve port 102 along the flow direction of the fluid, so that the movement direction of the first piston 21 or the second piston 22 is the same as the flow direction of the fluid, thereby improving and ensuring the sealing reliability of the piston assembly 20, and the piston assembly 20 can block the first valve port 101 and the second valve port 102 at the same time, and two cut-off structures can be set on the flow path of the fluid to further ensure the sealing effect of the solenoid valve when closing the valve, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the solenoid valve.

[0040] In the present application, the pilot valve assembly 30 further includes a first one-way valve 31 and a second one-way valve 32. In some embodiments of the present application, the first one-way valve 31 is arranged on the first flow channel 301, and the first one-way valve 31 is unidirectionally connected from the pilot valve chamber 300 to the direction of the first connecting pipe 1, and the second one-way valve 32 is arranged on the second flow channel 302, and the second one-way valve 32 is unidirectionally connected from the pilot valve chamber 300 to the direction of the second connecting pipe 2. Among them, when the pilot valve assembly 30 is switched to the open state, the first one-way valve 31 connects the pilot valve chamber 300 with the first flow channel 301, and the pilot valve chamber 300 is not connected with the second flow channel 302; or, the second one-way valve 32 connects the pilot valve chamber 300 with the second flow channel 302, and the pilot valve chamber 300 is not connected with the first flow channel 301. Through the above arrangement, when the fluid flows from the first connecting pipe 1 to the second connecting pipe 2, after the pilot valve assembly 30 switches to the open state, the first one-way valve 31 is closed, the first flow channel 301 is not connected to the pilot valve chamber 300, the second one-way valve 32 is opened, and the second flow channel 302 can be connected to the pilot valve chamber 300; when the fluid flows from the second connecting pipe 2 to the first connecting pipe 1, after the pilot valve assembly 30 switches to the open state, the second one-way valve 32 is closed, the second flow channel 302 is not connected to the pilot valve chamber 300, the first one-way valve 31 is opened, and the first flow channel 301 can be connected to the pilot valve chamber 300.

[0041] Specifically, the solenoid valve also includes a first capillary 41 and a second capillary 42, one end of the first capillary 41 is connected to the first connecting pipe 1, and the other end is connected to the pilot valve assembly 30, the first capillary 41 has a first flow channel 301, one end of the second capillary 42 is connected to the second connecting pipe 2, and the other end is connected to the pilot valve assembly 30, and the second capillary 42 has a second flow channel 302.

[0042] In some other embodiments of the present application, the first one-way valve 31 can be arranged on the first connecting pipe 1 and located upstream of the first flow channel 301, and the second one-way valve 32 can be arranged on the second connecting pipe 2 and located upstream of the second flow channel 302 to achieve control of the fluid flow direction.

[0043] In some other embodiments of the present application, the first one-way valve 31 and the second one-way valve 32 may both be disposed on the pilot valve assembly 30 to achieve control over the flow direction of the fluid.

[0044] Specifically, the first piston 21 has a first valve opening end face 201 at one end facing the first valve port 101, and when the first piston 21 blocks the first valve port 101, there is a gap between the first valve opening end face 201 and the inner wall of the circulation chamber 100; the second piston 22 has a second valve opening end face 202 at one end facing the second valve port 102, and when the second piston 22 blocks the second valve port 102, there is a gap between the second valve opening end face 202 and the inner wall of the circulation chamber 100. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, when the first piston 21 opens the first valve port 101 and the second piston 22 blocks the second valve port 102, after the fluid enters the circulation chamber 100 through the first valve port 101, the fluid can enter the gap between the second valve opening end face 202 and the inner wall of the circulation chamber 100, so as to provide the second piston 22 with a driving force to move away from the second valve port 102, so as to realize the opening of the solenoid valve; when the second piston 22 opens the second valve port 102 and the first piston 21 blocks the first valve port 101, after the fluid enters the circulation chamber 100 through the second valve port 102, the fluid can enter the gap between the first valve opening end face 201 and the inner wall of the circulation chamber 100, so as to provide the first piston 21 with a driving force to move away from the first valve port 101, so as to realize the opening of the solenoid valve.

[0045] Furthermore, the first piston 21 has a first valve opening section at one end away from the second piston 22, and the side wall of the first valve opening section forms a first valve opening end face 201. The outer diameter of the first valve opening section can gradually increase in the direction away from the first valve port 101. The second piston 22 has a second valve opening section at one end away from the first piston 21, and the side wall of the second valve opening section forms a second valve opening end face 202. The outer diameter of the second valve opening section can gradually increase in the direction away from the second valve port 102. Such an arrangement can guide the fluid between the first valve opening end face 201 and the second valve opening end face 202 and the inner wall of the circulation chamber, which is beneficial to reducing flow resistance.

[0046] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, when the solenoid valve switches from the closed state to the open state, the switching action of the piston assembly 20 is as follows:

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, when the fluid flows from the first connecting pipe 1 to the second connecting pipe 2, the pressure in the first connecting pipe 1 is greater than the pressure in the second connecting pipe 2, the pilot valve assembly 30 is switched to the open state, the first check valve 31 on the first flow channel 301 is closed, the first flow channel 301 is not connected to the pilot valve chamber 300, the second check valve 32 on the second flow channel 302 is opened, the pilot valve chamber 300 is connected to the second flow channel 302, the piston chamber 200 can be connected to the second flow channel 302, the pressure in the piston chamber 200 is reduced, at this time the pressure in the first connecting pipe 1 is greater than the pressure in the piston chamber 200, the pressure on the first piston 21 from the first connecting pipe 1 is greater than the pressure in the piston chamber 200 and the elastic member 24 Pressure, the first piston 21 moves in the direction away from the first valve port 101, the first valve port 101 is opened, the fluid enters the circulation chamber 100, and enters the gap between the second valve opening end face 202 and the circulation chamber 100, providing pressure to the second piston 22 in the direction away from the second valve port 102, the pressure applied to the end of the second piston 22 by the fluid is greater than the pressure in the piston chamber 200 and the pressure of the elastic member 24, the second piston 22 can move in the direction away from the second valve port 102 driven by the pressure difference, the second valve port 102 is opened, the piston assembly 20 is switched to the conducting state, and the fluid can flow from the first connecting pipe 1 to the second connecting pipe 2 through the circulation chamber 100.

[0048] Reference Figures 4 to 6As shown, when the fluid flows from the second connecting pipe 2 to the first connecting pipe 1, the pressure in the second connecting pipe 2 is greater than the pressure in the first connecting pipe 1, the pilot valve assembly 30 is switched to the open state, the second one-way valve 32 on the second flow channel 302 is closed, the second flow channel 302 is not connected to the pilot valve chamber 300, the first one-way valve 31 on the first flow channel 301 is opened, the pilot valve chamber 300 is connected to the first flow channel 301, the piston chamber 200 can be connected to the first flow channel 301, the pressure in the piston chamber 200 is reduced, at this time the pressure in the second connecting pipe 2 is greater than the pressure in the piston chamber 200, the pressure on the second piston 22 from the second connecting pipe 2 is greater than the pressure of the piston chamber 200 and the elastic member 24 The second piston 22 moves in a direction away from the second valve port 102, the second valve port 102 opens, the fluid enters the circulation chamber 100, and enters the gap between the first valve opening end face 201 and the circulation chamber 100, providing pressure to the first piston 21 in a direction away from the first valve port 101. The pressure applied to the end of the first piston 21 by the fluid is greater than the pressure in the piston chamber 200 and the pressure of the elastic member 24. The first piston 21 can move in a direction away from the first valve port 101 driven by the pressure difference, the first valve port 101 opens, the piston assembly 20 switches to the conducting state, and the fluid can flow from the second connecting pipe 2 to the first connecting pipe 1 through the circulation chamber 100.

[0049] Specifically, there is a balancing channel between the piston chamber 200 and the circulation chamber 100 to connect the piston chamber 200 and the circulation chamber 100. The minimum flow area of ​​the balancing channel is smaller than the minimum flow area of ​​the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302, that is, the minimum flow area of ​​the balancing channel is smaller than the minimum flow area of ​​the first one-way valve 31 and the second one-way valve 32. Through the above arrangement, when the valve is closed, the fluid in the circulation chamber 100 can enter the piston chamber 200 through the balancing channel to avoid the piston chamber 200 from holding air and affecting the valve closing. When the valve is opened, since the flow capacity of the balancing channel at the minimum flow area is smaller than the minimum flow area of ​​the first one-way valve 31 and the second one-way valve 32, it can ensure that the pressure in the piston chamber 200 is smaller than the pressure in the circulation chamber 100, so as to ensure the reliability of the valve opening.

[0050] In a feasible embodiment of the present application, when the solenoid valve switches from the open state to the closed state, the switching action of the piston assembly 20 is as follows:

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 6As shown, the pilot valve assembly 30 is switched to the closed state, the first flow channel 301 and the second flow channel 302 are not connected to the pilot valve chamber 300, the fluid in the circulation chamber 100 flows into the piston chamber 200 through the balance channel, the pressure in the piston chamber 200 increases, the pressure of the piston chamber 200 on the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 cooperates with the pressure of the elastic member 24 on the first piston 21 and the second piston 22, so that the first piston 21 moves toward the first valve port 101, and the second piston 22 moves toward the second valve port 102, the piston assembly 20 is switched to the blocking state, the first piston 21 blocks the first valve port 101, the second piston 22 blocks the second valve port 102, and the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 are not connected to the circulation chamber 100. Among them, the valve port corresponding to the pipe for circulating low-pressure fluid is closed first.

[0052] like Figure 7 As shown, specifically in the present application, the piston assembly 20 further includes a piston sleeve 23, a first piston 21 and a second piston 22 are arranged in the piston sleeve 23, the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 can move along the extension direction of the piston sleeve 23, the outer wall of the first piston 21 and the inner wall of the piston sleeve 23, and the outer wall of the second piston 22 and the inner wall of the piston sleeve 23 are all sealed, and the first piston 21, the second piston 22 and the piston sleeve 23 surround a piston cavity 200. Through the above arrangement, the sealing performance of the piston cavity 200 can be guaranteed, and the stability of the solenoid valve during the opening and closing process can be guaranteed.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, a sealing ring is disposed between the outer wall of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 and the inner wall of the piston sleeve 23 .

[0054] Specifically, there is a limiting structure between the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 to limit the position of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 moving toward each other. By setting the limiting structure, the relative position of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 can be limited when the piston assembly 20 is switched to the conducting state, ensuring the stable movement of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22.

[0055] In some feasible embodiments of the present application, the limiting structure includes a limiting boss 234, and the limiting boss 234 is arranged on the inner wall of the sealing sleeve. Through the above arrangement, the two end surfaces of the limiting boss 234 arranged opposite to each other can limit the displacement of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 to limit the stroke of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22.

[0056] In some other embodiments of the present application, the end surfaces of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 facing each other cooperate with each other to form a limiting structure, so as to reduce the overall volume of the piston assembly 20, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the solenoid valve.

[0057] In some other embodiments of the present application, a limiting protrusion may also be provided on the side walls of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22, and the limiting protrusion may form a limiting structure, through which the two oppositely arranged end surfaces of the piston sleeve 23 cooperate with the limiting protrusion to limit the relative position of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 when the piston assembly 20 switches to the conducting state.

[0058] In some other embodiments of the present application, the pilot valve assembly 30 is plugged into the piston sleeve 23, and at least part of the pilot valve assembly 30 is inserted into the piston sleeve 23. The pilot valve assembly 30 forms a limiting structure to limit the relative position of the first piston 21 and the second piston 22 when the piston assembly 20 is switched to the conducting state.

[0059] Furthermore, an opening is provided on the inner wall of the limiting boss 234, and the piston cavity 200 is connected with the pilot valve cavity 300 through the opening. In this way, the channel connecting the pilot valve cavity 300 and the piston cavity 200 can avoid the first piston 21 and the second piston 22, and there is no need to set a separate connecting space, which can reduce the overall volume of the piston assembly 20 and is conducive to the miniaturization of the solenoid valve.

[0060] Specifically in the present application, a first sealing gasket 211 is provided on the side of the first piston 21 close to the first valve port 101, and a second sealing gasket 221 is provided on the side of the second piston 22 close to the second valve port 102. By providing the first sealing gasket 211 and the second sealing gasket 221, a soft sealing fit can be formed between the piston assembly 20 and the valve body assembly 10, thereby improving the sealing performance of the piston assembly 20.

[0061] Specifically, the first sealing gasket 211 is provided with a first matching section 2111, and the outer diameter of the first matching section 2111 gradually increases along the side away from the first valve port 101, and the second sealing gasket 221 is provided with a second matching section 2211, and the outer diameter of the second matching section 2211 gradually increases along the side away from the second valve port 102. Through the above arrangement, when the first matching section 2111 is matched with the first valve port 101, and when the second matching section 2211 is matched with the second valve port 102, the side walls of the first matching section 2111 and the second matching section 2211 can form a sealing surface, thereby increasing the sealing area between the first sealing gasket 211 and the first valve port 101 and between the second sealing gasket 221 and the second valve port 102, improving the sealing effect of the first sealing gasket 211 and the second sealing gasket 221, and reducing the internal leakage of the solenoid valve.

[0062] Further in the present application, a first mounting boss 212 is provided on the end surface of the first piston 21 close to the first valve port 101, and the first sealing gasket 211 is sleeved on the first mounting boss 212. A first mounting block 213 is also provided on the side of the first sealing gasket 211 close to the first valve port 101, and the first mounting block 213 is fixedly connected to the first mounting boss 212, or the end of the first mounting block 213 away from the first sealing gasket 211 is limitedly matched with the first mounting boss 212 to fix the first sealing gasket 211; a second mounting boss 222 is provided on the side of the second piston 22 close to the second valve port 102, and the second sealing gasket 221 is sleeved on the second mounting boss 222. A second mounting block 223 is also provided on the side of the second sealing gasket 221 close to the second valve port 102, and the second mounting block 223 is fixedly connected to the second mounting boss 222, or the end of the second mounting block 223 away from the second sealing gasket 221 is limitedly matched with the second mounting boss 222 to fix the second sealing gasket 221. Specifically, the first mounting block 213 can be riveted to the end face of the first mounting boss 212 close to the first valve port 101, and the second mounting block 223 can be riveted to the end face of the second mounting boss 222 close to the second valve port 102 to ensure the stability of the installation of the first sealing gasket 211 and the second sealing gasket 221.

[0063] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the first mounting block 213 gradually increases from the first valve port 101 to the second valve port 102, and the outer diameter of the second mounting block 223 gradually increases from the second valve port 102 to the first valve port 101. Through the above arrangement, when the fluid flows to the first mounting block 213 through the first valve port 101 and flows to the second mounting block 223 through the second valve port 102, the first mounting block 213 and the second mounting block 223 can guide the fluid, so that the fluid flows evenly to the circulation cavity 100, which is convenient for the circulation of the fluid.
