[0039] This embodiment provides a spool structure. This spool structure is used for an electromagnetic valve, and the electromagnetic valve is used in a fuel cell system to provide high-speed gas for an ejector to improve the performance of the ejector.

[0040] Refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the spool structure includes a housing sleeve 1, a valve body 2, and an electromagnet 3. The housing sleeve 1 is provided with a telescopic hole 11, and a limiting boss 12 is protrudingly provided on the inner wall of the telescopic hole 11. The valve body 2 includes an armature 21 and a moving iron core 22. The armature 21 is fixedly connected to the moving iron core 22. The armature 21 is slidably connected to the telescopic hole 11. A limiting sliding groove 23 for slidably connecting with the limiting boss 12 is correspondingly provided on the periphery of the armature 21. The limiting sliding groove 23 extends along the axial direction of the telescopic hole 11. The electromagnet 3 is provided on the housing sleeve 1. The armature 21 is located between the electromagnet 3 and the moving iron core 22. When the electromagnet 3 is energized, the magnetic attraction force generated attracts the armature 21 to drive the valve body 2 to slide in the telescopic hole 11 towards the direction close to the electromagnet 3, and the limiting boss 12 slides in the limiting sliding groove 23.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the electromagnet 3 is energized, it generates a magnetic suction force, which can attract the armature 21 and drive the valve body 2 to slide in the telescopic hole 11 in the direction close to the electromagnet 3. During this process, the limiting boss 12 slides in the limiting chute 23, so as to ensure that the valve body 2 slides and expands strictly in the housing sleeve 1, avoiding the rotation and deviation of the armature 21 and the moving iron core 22, that is, the valve body 2 relative to the housing sleeve 1, ensuring the performance consistency and use reliability of the solenoid valve, and effectively ensuring the service life of the solenoid valve.

[0042] In this embodiment, the electromagnet 3 is fixedly connected to the housing sleeve 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the valve body 2 slides to the limit position in the direction close to the electromagnet 3, the solenoid valve opens to the maximum opening; when the valve body 2 slides to the limit position in the direction away from the electromagnet 3, the solenoid valve closes.

[0044] In this embodiment, the valve body 2 further includes a limiting flange 24 fixedly connected to the moving iron core 22. The housing sleeve 1 is provided with a limiting groove 13 communicating with the telescopic hole 11, and a buffer member 14 is arranged in the limiting groove 13. The limiting flange 24 is adapted to abut against the buffer member 14 when the valve body 2 slides to the limit position in the direction close to the electromagnet 3. Specifically, the arrangement of the limiting flange 24 is used to abut against the buffer member 14 when the valve body 2 slides to the limit position in the direction close to the electromagnet 3, so as to provide sliding limitation. The arrangement of the buffer member 14 can slow down the collision wear and impact between the limiting flange 24 and the bottom of the limiting groove 13, that is, the housing sleeve 1, avoid the structural deformation of the collision part of the limiting groove 13 under the long-term operation of the solenoid valve, and avoid affecting the limiting distance.

[0045] In this embodiment, the buffer member 14 includes a buffer ring. A circular accommodating groove 131 is opened at the bottom of the limiting groove 13, and the buffer ring is embedded in the accommodating groove 131, and the thickness of the buffer ring is greater than the depth of the accommodating groove 131. Specifically, the buffer ring protrudes out of the accommodating groove 131. Such a setting ensures that only the limiting flange 24 contacts the buffer ring, avoiding simultaneous collision and contact with other parts of the housing sleeve 1 such as the limiting groove 13.

[0046] Optionally, the numerical range of the thickness of the buffer ring being greater than the depth of the accommodating groove 131 is: 0.03 mm - 0.05 mm. As some alternative embodiments, the numerical values of the thickness of the buffer ring being greater than the depth of the accommodating groove 131 can be 0.03 mm, 0.035 mm, 0.04 mm, 0.045 mm, 0.05 mm.

[0047] Optionally, the material of the buffer member 14 is set as rubber. Rubber has reliable buffer performance and low cost and is easy to produce.

[0048] Optionally, vulcanization treatment is performed on the part of the accommodating groove 131 to reduce the structural deformation of the contact part.

[0049] Optionally, the buffer ring can adopt a PEEK structure, and such a setting can achieve the weight reduction effect of the injector.

[0050] In this embodiment, the telescopic hole 11 includes a first hole portion 111 and a second hole portion 112 that are connected in a stepped manner. The aperture of the first hole portion 111 is larger than that of the second hole portion 112. A first limiting end face 113 is connected between the first hole portion 111 and the second hole portion 112. The armature 21 includes a first core portion 211 and a second core portion 212 that are arranged in a stepped manner. The diameter of the first core portion 211 is larger than that of the second core portion 212. The first core portion 211 is slidably connected to the first hole portion 111. A second limiting end face 213 is connected between the first core portion 211 and the second core portion 212. When the valve body 2 slides towards the direction away from the electromagnet 3 to the extreme position, the first limiting end face 113 abuts against the second limiting end face 213. Specifically, when the valve body 2 slides towards the direction away from the electromagnet 3 to the extreme position, that is, when the valve body 2 is closed, the first limiting end face 113 abuts against the second limiting end face 213.

[0051] Specifically, an elastic resetting member (not shown) is further provided between the moving iron core 22 and the housing sleeve 1. The elastic resetting member always makes the moving iron core 22 have a tendency to slide the valve body 2 towards the direction away from the electromagnet 3 and reset. Specifically, when the electromagnet 3 is powered off, the magnetic attraction force disappears, and the attraction to the armature 21 is cancelled. The moving iron core 22 slides towards the direction away from the electromagnet 3 under the action of the elastic resetting member, and finally the entire valve body 2 is reset, and the solenoid valve is closed.

[0052] Optionally, the elastic resetting member is set as a spring.

[0053] Specifically, the limiting chute 23 is opened on the first core portion 211, and the limiting boss 12 is arranged on the first hole portion 111.

[0054] Specifically, the armature 21 is provided with a first insertion groove 214, and the moving iron core 22 is fixedly inserted into the first insertion groove 214. Specifically, the moving iron core 22 is inserted into the first slot in an interference fit manner to ensure the reliable fixation between the armature 21 and the moving iron core 22.

[0055] Specifically, the limiting flange 24 is provided with a through hole, and the limiting flange 24 is fixedly sleeved on the moving iron core 22 through the through hole. Specifically, the cooperation relationship between the through hole and the moving iron core 22 is an interference fit to ensure the reliable fixation between the limiting flange 24 and the moving iron core 22.

[0056] Optionally, a plurality of limiting sliding grooves 23 and limiting bosses 12 are provided in one-to-one correspondence. In this embodiment, two limiting sliding grooves 23 and two limiting bosses 12 are provided in one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, the two limiting sliding grooves 23 are arranged on the valve body 2 at an interval of 180°, and the two limiting bosses 12 are arranged on the armature 21 at an interval of 180°.

[0057] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are only examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
