[0063] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0064] See also Figures 1 to 6An electromagnetic valve provided by one embodiment of the present invention includes a valve body 1 and an electromagnetic assembly. The valve body 1 includes a valve body 11, an air inlet 12, and an air outlet 13. The air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are connected to the same side of the valve body 11. The air inlet 12 is provided with an air inlet 121 suitable for connecting to an air source, and the air outlet 13 is provided with an air outlet 131. The valve body 11 is provided with an accommodating chamber 111 inside, and the accommodating chamber 111 is communicated with the air outlet 13. The electromagnetic assembly includes a coil 3, a moving iron assembly, a fixed iron core 5, and a spring 6. The coil 3 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the valve body 11. The moving iron assembly is slidably provided in the accommodating chamber 111. The fixed iron core 5 is fixed in the accommodating chamber 111. The fixed iron core 5 is disposed on a side of the movable iron assembly away from the outlet 1212 of the air inlet duct 121. An exhaust hole 51 extending axially therethrough is disposed within the fixed iron core 5. A spring support surface 513 is disposed on the inner wall of the exhaust hole 51. One end of the spring 6 abuts the spring support surface 513, while the other end abuts the movable iron assembly. The distance between the spring support surface 513 and the inlet 510 of the exhaust hole 51 is the spring support surface depth. That is, the spring support surface 513 is parallel to the surface where the inlet 510 of the exhaust hole 51 is located, and the spring support surface depth is the vertical distance between the spring support surface 513 and the surface where the inlet 510 of the exhaust hole 51 is located.

[0065] When the coil 3 is powered off, the spring 6 pushes the moving iron assembly toward the air inlet duct 121, and the moving iron assembly blocks the outlet 1212 of the air inlet duct 121 and opens the inlet 510 of the exhaust hole 51, so as to block the outlet 1212 of the air inlet duct 121 and the inlet 1311 of the air outlet duct 131; when the coil 3 is powered on, the moving iron assembly moves toward the fixed iron core 5 and compresses the spring 6, and the moving iron assembly opens the outlet 1212 of the air inlet duct 121 and blocks the inlet 510 of the exhaust hole 51, so that the outlet 1212 of the air inlet duct 121 is connected to the inlet 1311 of the air outlet duct 131.

[0066] When the coil 3 is de-energized, the solenoid valve meets the following conditions:

[0067] K(L0-X-X0) / S*P≥1; wherein, K is the stiffness of the spring 6, L0 is the free length of the spring 6, X is the depth of the spring support surface, X0 is the distance between the moving iron assembly and the fixed iron core 5, S is the area of ​​the outlet 1212 of the air inlet duct 121, and P is the maximum air pressure provided by the air source (such as an air pump).

[0068] In the solenoid valve of this embodiment, the preload force of spring 6 is rationally designed based on the maximum air pressure provided by the air source. This ensures that when coil 3 is de-energized, the thrust exerted by spring 6 on the movable iron assembly is always greater than or equal to the thrust exerted by the air on the movable iron assembly. This ensures that when coil 3 is de-energized, the solenoid valve remains stably closed and is not opened by air pressure, ensuring a stable and effective operation.

[0069] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The movable iron assembly 4 includes a movable iron core 40, a first seal 41, and a second seal 42. The first seal 41 is mounted at one axial end of the movable iron core 40 and faces the outlet 1212 of the air inlet duct 121. The second seal 42 is mounted at the other axial end of the movable iron core 40 and faces the inlet 510 of the exhaust hole 51. The other end of the spring 6 abuts against the second seal 42. When the coil 3 is de-energized, the first seal 41 blocks the outlet 1212 of the air inlet duct 121, and the second seal 42 opens the inlet 510 of the exhaust hole 51. When the coil 3 is energized, the first seal 41 opens the outlet 1212 of the air inlet duct 121, and the second seal 42 blocks the inlet 110 of the exhaust hole 51.

[0070] The first sealing member 41 and the second sealing member 42 may adopt the same structure to share a mold and reduce costs.

[0071] See also Figure 2 The first sealing member 41 and the second sealing member 42 are sealing plugs.

[0072] However, in other embodiments, the first sealing member 41 and the second sealing member 42 may also be sealed by filler or potting.

[0073] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The exhaust hole 51 is a circular stepped hole and includes a first hole section 511 and a second hole section 512. The second hole section 512 is connected to the end of the first hole section 511 away from the dynamic assembly 4. The inner diameter of the first hole section 511 is larger than the inner diameter of the second hole section 512, so that a spring support surface 513 is formed at the connection between the first hole section 511 and the second hole section 512. One end of the spring 6 abuts the spring support surface 513, and the other end abuts the second sealing member 42. The processing depth of the spring support surface 513 can be adjusted according to the different working air pressure environments of the solenoid valve, thereby adjusting the preload force of the solenoid valve to meet different working air pressure environments. At the same time, the spring support surface 513 also serves to limit the spring 6, ensuring the preload force of the spring 6 during the compression process.

[0074] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 The fixed core 5 is provided with a first sealing groove 52 on its outer circumference and a first sealing ring 7, which is inserted into the first sealing groove 52. The outer ring of the first sealing ring 7 forms an interference fit with the wall of the accommodating cavity 111. This prevents the fixed core 5 from being ejected from the passive core 4 during operation.

[0075] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The inlet 1211 of the air inlet 121 is adapted to connect to an air source, which may be an air pump.

The inlet 1311 of the air outlet 131 communicates with the accommodating chamber 111, and the outlet 1312 of the air outlet 131 is adapted to connect to an airbag. For example, the outlet 1312 of the air outlet 131 can connect to the airbag via a trachea.

[0076] In one embodiment, the valve body 11 , the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are all tubular, and the axis of the valve body 11 and the axis of the air outlet 13 are parallel and spaced apart.

[0077] In one embodiment, the axis of the air inlet portion 12 is perpendicular to the axis of the air outlet portion 13. The extension direction of the main body portion 21 is parallel to the axis of the valve body 11.

[0078] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 The air outlet 131 extends along the axis of the air outlet portion 13 , and the inlet 1311 of the air outlet 131 is located at the junction of the accommodating cavity 111 and the air outlet portion 13 .

[0079] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The air inlet passage 121 includes a first flow passage 1213 and a second flow passage 1214. The first flow passage 1213 extends along the axis of the air inlet portion 12, and the second flow passage 1214 extends along the axis of the valve body 11. One end of the second flow passage 1214 is connected to the first flow passage 1213, and the other end of the second flow passage 1214 serves as the outlet 1212 of the air inlet passage 121. The first flow passage 1213 passes through the air inlet portion 12, one end of the first flow passage 1213 serves as the inlet of the air inlet passage 121, and the other end of the first flow passage 1213 serves as a transfer port 1215. The transfer port 1215 is closed, or alternatively, it is adapted to connect to the inlet 1211 of the air inlet passage 121 of another solenoid valve.

[0080] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3The valve body 1 further includes a connecting portion 14 disposed on the outer periphery of the valve body 11 and a connector 15 disposed on the connecting portion 14. The connector 15 is electrically connected to the coil 3, and one end of the connector 15 is adapted to be electrically plugged into a PCB. Specifically, the connector 15 is connected between the coil 3 and the PCB to control the on / off state of the coil 3.

[0081] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 The adapter portion 14 is provided with a slot 141, which is separated from the accommodating cavity 111. The connector 15 is inserted into the slot 141. One end of the connector 15 extends out of the slot 141 and is suitable for electrically connecting to the PCB board. The connector 15 is a pin or a terminal (e.g., a fisheye terminal).

[0082] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 2 , also includes a yoke 2, the yoke 2 includes a main body 21, a limiting part 22 and a plate part 23, the main body 21 is connected between the limiting part 22 and the plate part 23, the adapter part 14 is located at one axial end of the valve body 11 close to the air intake part 12, the limiting part 22 is installed on the adapter part 14, so that the yoke 2 is fixed to the outside of the valve body 1, ensuring that the yoke 2 will not fall off during the movement of the car. The plate part 23 is located at the other axial end of the valve body 11, and the plate part 23 can be spaced apart from the other axial end of the valve body 11. Along the axial direction of the coil 3, the coil 3 is located between the limiting part 22 and the main body 23; the yoke 2 is a magnetic conductive part, so that when the coil 3 is energized, the yoke 2 can enhance the electromagnetic force of the solenoid valve.

[0083] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 A limiting plate 16 protruding radially is provided at one end of the valve body 11 away from the adapter 14 , and the coil 3 is located between the adapter 14 and the limiting plate 16 along its axial direction to limit the axial movement of the coil 3 .

[0084] In one embodiment, see 1 to Figure 3 A card slot 142 is provided on the adapter part 14, and the card slot 142 surrounds the valve body 11. The limiting part 22 is an elastic card connector with one end open. The inner wall surface of the elastic card connector matches the bottom surface shape of the card slot 142, and the elastic card connector is clamped in the card slot 142.

[0085] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 2The elastic clamping member includes two opposing clamping feet 221, one end of which is connected to the main body 21, and the other end of which is formed into a cantilever structure and inserted into the clamping slot 142. A clamping hole 222 is formed between the two clamping feet 221. When the elastic clamping member is clamped into the clamping slot 112, the two clamping feet 221 deform in opposite directions, allowing the valve body 11 to pass through the clamping hole 222. In this way, the yoke 2 is clamped and fixed to the valve body 1.

[0086] However, in other embodiments, the limiting portion 22 may also be fixed to the outside of the valve body 1 by bolt connection, riveting, or the like.

[0087] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 2 The plate portion 12 includes two opposing rods 231, one end of which is connected to the main body 21, and the other end of which is suspended in the air.

The bottom wall of the relief groove 53 penetrates the relief opening 232. The relief groove 232 is provided with a first flange 54 and a second flange 55 on both sides of the axial direction of the fixed iron core 5. The plate portion 23 is located between the first flange 54 and the second flange 55 to limit the axial displacement of the plate portion 23 along the fixed iron core 5. In this way, the limiting portion 22 and the plate portion 23 of the yoke 2 are both axially limited to ensure that the yoke 2 does not move axially.

[0088] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 A second sealing groove 56 is provided on the outer periphery of the end of the fixed iron core 5 exposed from the valve body 1; it also includes a second sealing ring 8, which is sleeved in the second sealing groove 56.
