Among them, the coil 10 is a winding of enameled copper wire, the entire surface of the coil 10 is wrapped by nylon plastic, and it is in a cylindrical shape with a through cavity inside. The left end face of the coil 10 is in contact with the right end face of the connection end of the yoke sleeve 6. The sleeve part of the yoke sleeve 6, the large-end step of the iron core 8, and the small-end part of the base 11 are arranged inside the cavity of the coil 10. A connector is arranged on the outside of the coil 10 near the valve body 2 end, and two terminals are arranged inside the connector.
[0022] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, the filter screen 1 is in a circular sheet shape, a cage 13 is arranged on the outer ring and in the middle of the filter screen 1, a through hole is arranged at the bottom of the concave pit, a bracket 18 is arranged on the outer wall of the housing 12, and the cage 13 arranged on the outer ring of the filter screen 1 is used to support the filter screen 1 to be installed at the port of the valve body 2.
[0023] As Figure 1 、4 As shown, the ball seat 3 includes a first ball seat step 22 and a second ball seat step 23. Holes are provided at the centers of both the first ball seat step 22 and the second ball seat step 23. The outer diameter of the first ball seat step 22 is relatively larger than that of the second ball seat step 23. The outer diameter of the first ball seat step 22 is in contact with the valve body 2. The ball seat 3 is respectively at both ends of the first ball seat step 22 and the second ball seat step 23, facilitating contact and connection with the valve body 2, making the connection more firm and stable.
[0024] As Figure 2 、 4 shown, there is a gap between the side wall of the second ball seat step 23 and the valve body 2. One or more through oil ports are provided on the side of the second ball seat step 23. The ball 4 is restricted by the first ball seat step 22 and the end face of the valve seat 5. Through the cooperation between the first ball seat step 22 and the valve seat 5, the ball 4 is limited and constrained, enabling the ball 4 to work better.
[0025] As Figure 2 、 4 shown, the valve seat 5 is composed of a first valve seat step 19 and a second valve seat step 20. Holes are provided at the centers of both the first valve seat step 19 and the second valve seat step 20. The outer diameter of the first valve seat step 19 is relatively smaller than that of the second valve seat step 20. The inner hole of the first valve seat step 19 is relatively smaller than that of the second valve seat step 20. The left end face of the second valve seat step 20 is in contact with the end face of the second ball seat step 23. The first valve seat step 19 is arranged inside the second ball seat step 23 and is in contact with the ball seat 3. The second valve seat step 20 is in contact with the valve body 2.
[0026] As Figure 1 、 3 shown, the yoke sleeve 6 is an overall rotating body with an L-shaped cross-section. The left end face of the connecting part of the yoke sleeve 6 is in contact with the connecting end face of the valve body 2. The part of the yoke sleeve 6 other than the connecting end is a cylindrical sleeve with an internal cavity.
[0027] As Figure 2 、 4 shown, the iron core 8 can axially displace within the cavity of the yoke sleeve 6. One end of the iron core 8 has a relatively larger outer diameter. A first pit is provided inwardly on the left end face of the iron core 8. A second pit is provided inwardly on the right end face of the iron core 8. The spring 9 is located within the second pit.
[0028] In this embodiment, first, all parts are installed. This automatic transmission switch solenoid valve receives the electric signal from the automatic transmission TCU through the terminal on the coil 10 connector, and converts the electric signal into a magnetic field; the part base 11, yoke sleeve 6, iron core 8, and housing 12 around the coil 10 generate interacting electromagnetic forces under the action of its magnetic field. Among them, the iron core 8 moves axially towards the base 11 under the action of the electromagnetic force, thereby moving the push rod 7 against the force of the spring 9 towards the base 11. According to the magnitude of the electric signal input by the TCU and in cooperation with the elastic force of the spring 9, the push rod 7 can be made to hold against the steel ball 4 or released.
[0029] The through hole at the bottom of the concave pit on the end face of the valve body 2 of this switch solenoid valve is the oil inlet P, and the oil pressure is input into the interior of this solenoid valve from here and then enters the inner hole of the first step 22 of the steel ball seat.
[0030] When the electric signal input by the TCU is relatively low, this solenoid valve is in the initial closed state. The iron core 8 is pushed left by the spring 9 under the relatively small action of the electromagnetic force, and the steel ball 4 is also pushed to the left side of the inner cavity of the steel ball seat 3. The central hole of the first step 22 of the steel ball seat is closed, and the oil pressure is blocked here, and the oil inlet circuit is closed; the oil pressure at the position of the oil outlet A16 can enter the inner chamber of the second step 23 of the steel ball seat, and the oil pressure flows along the inner hole of the first step 19 of the valve seat to the oil drain port T17 of the flange end groove of the valve body 2 and is discharged from the outside of the oil drain port T17.
[0031] When the electric signal input by the TCU is relatively high, this solenoid valve is in the activated open state. The iron core 8 moves towards the base 11 under the action of the electromagnetic force, overcoming the elastic force of the spring 9. The steel ball 4 is released from the inner hole of the first step 22 of the steel ball seat. The outside oil pressure enters the inner chamber of the valve body 2 from the oil inlet P and flows towards the oil outlet A16. The oil inlet circuit is opened, and the steel ball 4 is pushed to the right by the oil pressure input from the oil inlet P and holds against the central hole of the first step 19 of the valve seat, and the oil drain circuit is closed.
[0032] The switch solenoid valve realizes the control of the opening and closing of the oil circuit through the above response actions to the TCU signal, and further realizes the control of the automatic shift of the transmission gear.
[0033] The various components inside this solenoid valve that affect its performance, mainly including the base 11, yoke sleeve 6, and iron core 8, are all simple and easy to form, achieving the effect of structural optimization and cost compression as a whole.
[0034] The above content further elaborates on the present invention in combination with specific implementation manners. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is only limited to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can still be made, and all should be regarded as belonging to the protection scope determined by the claims submitted for the present invention.
