Detailed Description of the Embodiments

[0024] The following will further elaborate on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figure 1 drawings.

[0025] An embodiment of the present application discloses a hydrogen production solenoid valve. Referring to Figure 1 , it includes a valve body 1, a coil 3, a sleeve 2 installed inside the coil 3 and connected to the valve body 1 at its end, an armature 4 installed inside the sleeve 2, a valve stem 5 installed on the armature 4 and used to control the opening and closing of the valve body 1, and an elastic member 6 installed inside the sleeve 2. The valve stem 5 is located at one end of the armature 4 facing the valve port 111 of the valve body 1, and the elastic member 6 is located at the other end of the armature 4. On one side of the valve body 1 facing the sleeve 2, there is an installation groove 7 for installing the sleeve 2. The installation groove 7 communicates with the valve port 111 of the valve body 1, facilitating the armature 4 and the valve stem 5 to control the opening or closing of the valve body 1. The inner wall of the installation groove 7 is provided with internal threads, and the outer wall of the sleeve 2 is provided with external threads adapted to the internal threads. The sleeve 2 and the valve body 1 are connected by threads, facilitating the installation or disassembly of the sleeve 2. In order to improve the connection sealing performance between the sleeve 2 and the valve body 1, a sealing ring 18 is sleeved at the connection between the sleeve 2 and the valve body 1.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 , the sleeve 2 is provided with a sliding groove 8 along its length direction. The armature 4 is located inside the sliding groove 8. One end of the sliding groove 8 facing the valve body 1 is open and the sliding groove 8 communicates with the installation groove 7, facilitating the armature 4 to move towards the installation groove 7 to close the valve port 111 of the valve body 1. The side wall of the armature 4 is coated with a wear-resistant coating. In the embodiment of the present application, the wear-resistant coating is a Teflon coating. By utilizing the wear resistance and self-lubricating performance of the surface of the Teflon coating, the friction force during the movement of the armature 4 is effectively reduced, increasing the service life of the armature 4.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1The end of the armature 4 facing the valve port 111 of the valve body 1 is provided with a positioning groove 1 9 for positioning the valve stem 5, so as to improve the stability of the valve stem 5 on the armature 4. The end of the armature 4 away from the valve body 1 is provided with a positioning groove 2 10, which is used to position the elastic member 6. The sleeve 2 is provided with a positioning groove 3, one end of the elastic member 6 is located in the positioning groove 3, and the other end of the elastic member 6 is located in the positioning groove 2 10.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 When the coil 3 is powered off, the spring force applied by the elastic member 6 presses the armature 4 and the valve stem 5 tightly against the valve port 111 of the valve body 1, thereby closing the valve; in order to improve the sealing effect of the valve stem 5, a sealing gasket 19 is installed on the side of the valve stem 5 facing the valve port 111 of the valve body 1. When the coil 3 is powered on, the electromagnetic force overcomes the spring force and the medium force (the force caused by the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet), and drives the armature 4 toward the elastic member 6 until the armature 4 and the sleeve 2 are attracted, thereby opening the valve, and the medium flows from the inlet of the valve body 1 to the outlet. A removable orifice plate 20 is installed at the outlet of the valve body 1, and the orifice plate 20 is located on the outlet side of the fluid. When different medium flow rates are required, the target flow rate can be achieved by replacing orifice plates 20 with different apertures, and the orifice plate 20 is easy to install or remove.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 Compared with the prior art where the static iron core and the pipe for the armature to slide are prepared separately and welded together, the sleeve 2 of the present application is formed in one piece, which can not only play the role of the static iron core, but also provide a space for the armature 4 to slide, effectively simplifying the product structure and reducing the welding process. When the coil 3 is energized, the electromagnetic force overcomes the spring force of the elastic member 6, driving the armature 4 to move from the sealing position of the sealing valve port 111 to the valve opening position close to the sleeve 2. In order to reduce the resistance of the gas in the air magnetic isolation space 21 to the movement of the armature 4, the armature 4 is provided with an exhaust hole 11 along the length direction, one end of the exhaust hole 11 is connected to the positioning groove 9, and the other end of the exhaust hole 11 is connected to the positioning groove 2 10; the valve stem 5 is provided with an exhaust groove 12 connected to the exhaust hole 11 along the length direction, and the side wall of the valve stem 5 is provided with an exhaust hole 2 13 connected to the exhaust groove 12, and the exhaust hole 2 13 is connected to the mounting groove 7, so as to facilitate the gas in the air magnetic isolation space 21 to be squeezed into the mounting groove 7, thereby reducing the air in the air magnetic isolation space 21 from forming an air spring, which brings resistance to the upward moving armature 4.

[0030] Reference Figure 1, in order to improve the installation stability between the coil 3 and the sleeve 2, a positioning block 14 is installed at one end of the sleeve 2 away from the valve body 1. A through hole 15 is formed in the coil 3. The positioning block 14 passes through the through hole 15. External threads are provided on the side wall of the positioning block 14 located outside the coil 3, and a nut 16 adapted to the external threads is installed on the positioning block 14. In the embodiment of the present application, the positioning block 14 and the sleeve 2 are integrally formed. In order to cooperate with the locking and positioning of the nut 16, a boss 17 is provided on the outer side wall of one end of the sleeve 2 away from the positioning block 14. In the present embodiment, the boss 17 and the sleeve 2 are integrally formed. The boss 17 is located between the coil 3 and the valve body 1. The side of the boss 17 facing the coil 3 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the coil 3. After the nut 16 is installed, it abuts against the top surface of the coil 3. The boss 17 and the nut 16 cooperate to improve the connection stability between the coil 3 and the sleeve 2.

[0031] The advantages of the present application are as follows: The sleeve 2 is integrally provided, which not only serves as the static iron core but also provides a sliding space for the armature 4; The side wall of the armature 4 is coated with a wear-resistant coating to reduce the friction force during the movement of the armature 4 and extend the service life of the armature 4; The orifice plate 20 facilitates replacing the orifice plates 20 with different orifice diameters according to the system's requirements for the medium flow rate. Without preparing redundant solenoid valves, the target flow rate can be achieved, improving the adaptability of the solenoid valve.

[0032] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
