[0002] Solenoid valves are essential automation components used for fluid control. In existing solenoid valve designs, the piston seat is typically connected to the valve body via threads. However, this connection method has a drawback: the threaded connection is directly exposed to the liquid medium. Over time, this connection is susceptible to corrosion, making subsequent disassembly or replacement of the solenoid valve extremely difficult. Utility Model Content

The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation methods.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used in this specification are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this invention.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 The labyrinth seal solenoid valve shown includes: a valve body 1, a piston assembly, a mounting seat 4 and a drive assembly 5;

[0034] The piston assembly is arranged at the intersection of the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the valve body 1, and includes a piston seat 2 and a piston head 3 slidably arranged in the piston seat 2;

[0035] The mounting seat 4 is arranged above the piston seat 2 and fixed on the valve body 1;

[0036] The driving assembly 5 is arranged inside the mounting seat 4 and is used to drive the piston head 3 to control the opening or closing of the valve body 1;

[0037] The bottom surface of the piston seat 2 facing the valve body 1 is provided with a first annular boss 21 for mounting the piston head 3, and a second annular boss 22 is provided on the outer edge of the first annular boss 21;

[0038] The valve body 1 is provided with a first groove 11 for the piston seat 2 to be embedded, a second groove 12 is provided at the center of the first groove 11 for the first annular boss 21 to be embedded, and a third groove 13 corresponding to the second annular boss 22 is provided on the step surface of the first groove 11.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, a labyrinth seal is formed between the piston seat 2 and the valve body 1 by the first annular boss 21 and the second annular boss 22, which effectively prevents the leakage of the liquid medium and improves the sealing performance of the solenoid valve. The design of the piston seat 2 being directly inserted into the valve body 1 makes it easier to separate the piston assembly from the valve body 1 when the solenoid valve needs to be disassembled or replaced, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0040] In the present invention, a first sealing ring 6 is provided on the boss between the second groove 12 and the third groove 13 , which further improves the sealing effect.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a protruding structure 21 a is formed on the outer cylindrical surface of the first annular boss 21 radially away from the center; and a sliding groove 12 a for accommodating the protruding structure 21 a is provided on the side wall of the second groove 12 .

[0042] The contact surface between the first annular boss 21 and the second groove 12 is stepped, which increases the contact area between the piston seat 2 and the valve body 1. After the protruding structure 21a is embedded in the sliding groove 12a, it effectively prevents the piston seat 2 from shaking or shifting during use.

[0043] Based on the above embodiment, the bottom surface of the slide groove 12a is inclined toward the center of the circle to ensure smooth installation of the piston seat 2. It also has a diversion function. When a small amount of liquid seeps into the connection between the piston seat 2 and the valve body 1, the inclined bottom surface of the slide groove 12a can guide the liquid to flow along a specific path instead of accumulating at the connection, reducing the risk of sealing failure or damage due to liquid accumulation.

[0044] In the present invention, the upper surface of the piston seat 2 is flush with the mounting surface of the valve body 1 , making it easier to align the piston seat 2 with the valve body 1 during installation without requiring complicated adjustments or calibrations.

[0045] In the preferred embodiment, a rubber pad (not shown in the figure) is provided on the lower surface of the mounting seat 4 at a position corresponding to the piston seat 2, which can absorb and buffer the friction and vibration between the piston seat 2 and the mounting seat 4, helping to reduce wear caused by long-term operation and extend the service life of the solenoid valve.

[0046] In order to guide the piston seat 2 to be smoothly inserted into the first groove 11 in the valve body 1, a guiding slope is provided at the end of the inner side wall of the first groove 11, thereby reducing resistance and friction during installation.

[0047] In the present invention, a second sealing ring 7 is provided on the contact surface between the valve body 1 and the mounting seat 4, thereby further enhancing the overall sealing performance of the solenoid valve.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drive assembly 5 includes a valve needle 51, an elastic member 52 and a shape memory alloy 53; the elastic member 52 and the shape memory alloy 53 are arranged at one end of the valve needle 51 away from the piston head 3, and the other end of the valve needle 51 passes through the mounting seat 4 and abuts against the piston seat 2 on the piston head 3; the elastic member 52 drives the valve needle 51 to drive the piston head 3 to close the valve body 1, and the shape memory alloy 53 is energized to generate deformation to drive the valve needle 51 to separate from the piston head 3 and open the valve body 1.

[0049] When the solenoid valve needs to be closed, the shape memory alloy 53 is not energized and is in its original state. At this time, the driving force of the elastic member 52 causes the valve needle 51 to tightly contact the piston head 3 to achieve sealing.

[0050] When the solenoid valve needs to be opened, the shape memory alloy 53 is energized and deformed. The force generated is greater than the driving force of the elastic member 52, thereby pushing the valve needle 51 upward and separating from the piston head 3, so that the valve body 1 is opened.

[0051] The ingenious combination of the valve needle 51, the elastic member 52 and the shape memory alloy 53 achieves precise control of the fluid medium and a highly reliable seal. This design not only improves the performance and stability of the solenoid valve.

[0052] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a protective seat 8 is provided on the outside of the mounting seat 4. The protective seat 8 can isolate dust, moisture and other pollutants in the external environment and protect the precision components inside the solenoid valve from damage.

[0053] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The above-described embodiments and the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
