Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electromagnetic valves, and more particularly to a electromagnetic valve suitable for use with grease. Background Art
[0002] Solenoid valves, devices that use electromagnetic control to switch the flow direction of a medium, are widely used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid control systems. Existing solenoid valves are mostly designed for controlling low-viscosity fluids or gases. Their reliability and stability are limited when used with high-viscosity grease media. Due to its high viscosity, grease easily adheres to the surfaces of key valve components, particularly the moving parts of the moving iron or the interior of the solenoid coil. This can cause the equipment to malfunction or sluggish after prolonged use. This problem is particularly pronounced in applications requiring high-frequency switching or long-term operation.
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the utility model proposes a solenoid valve suitable for use with grease. By optimizing the structural design and adding sealing and protective measures, the problem of grease causing the moving iron to be unable to move is effectively solved, and the applicability and reliability of the solenoid valve in high-viscosity media environments are improved.

[0007] In the preferred technical solution, the valve core can move back and forth in the valve body through the cooperation of the electromagnetic coil and the spring. When the valve core moves and cooperates with the valve core, the first slot, the second slot, and the third slot can respectively make two of the five cavities P, A, B, RA, and RB form a closed or conductive state.
[0008] In a preferred technical solution, when the valve core moves in a direction away from the spring, the second slot connects the two cavities P and A, the third slot connects the two cavities B and RB, and RA is closed.
[0009] In the preferred technical solution, when the valve core moves toward the spring, the second slot connects the two cavities P and B; the first slot connects the two cavities A and RA, and RB is closed.
[0010] In a preferred technical solution, the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic coil when energized can push the moving iron to move in the direction close to the spring, and the two ends of the sealing iron guide are respectively connected to the moving iron and the valve core.
[0011] In a preferred technical solution, the electromagnetic wire tube and the plug are sealed to connect the two ends of the valve body, and the spring is sleeved on the plug and the valve core.

[0022] A solenoid valve suitable for grease use, see Figure 1 、 2The solenoid valve can be applied to air cylinders and hydraulic cylinders, including a valve body 1 and a valve core 5 movably arranged in the valve body 1. The valve body 1 is a hollow structure, and the valve core 5 is embedded in the valve body 1; it also includes a moving iron 3, a sealing guide iron 4, an electromagnetic coil 2, an electromagnetic wire tube 9, a plug, and a spring 6; the sealing guide iron 4 is provided with a tube cavity sealing ring 31 that can seal the electromagnetic wire tube cavity 81 formed by the electromagnetic wire tube 8, and the sealing guide iron 4 is provided with a groove body matching the tube cavity sealing ring 31. The tube cavity sealing ring 31 is sleeved on the sealing guide iron 4 through the groove body, and the tube cavity sealing ring 31 can be sealed and connected to the electromagnetic wire tube cavity 81. If the solenoid valve is used in a hydraulic cylinder with grease medium, it can prevent the grease medium in the valve body 1 from entering the electromagnetic wire tube cavity 81, so as to avoid the moving iron from being unable to move due to grease. The sealing guide iron 5 and the tube cavity sealing ring 31 arranged thereon are one of the core designs of the utility model. The tube cavity sealing ring 31 ensures that grease cannot enter the interior of the electromagnetic wire tube 8, thereby fundamentally avoiding the interference of grease on the movement of the moving iron 3. The valve body 1 has five chambers, namely P, A, B, RA, and RB. Generally, the solenoid valve also has connectors on the outside of the five chambers, which are used to connect to hydraulic cylinders, liquid sources, etc. Chamber seals 11 and support rings 12 are installed on the outside of the chambers. As shown in the figure, the five chambers are arranged from left to right in the order of RA, A, P, B, and RB. Chamber seals 11 and support rings 12 are installed between chambers RA and A, and A and P. In addition, seals are installed on the outside of RA and RB. This structure ensures that the chambers are sealed and isolated from each other, ensuring that the joints will not leak after the chambers are connected to the connectors. The valve core 5 has a first slot 51, a second slot 52, and a third slot 53 corresponding to the chambers.
[0023] Furthermore, the valve core 5 can move back and forth within the valve body 1 through the cooperation of the electromagnetic coil 2 and the spring 6. When the valve core 5 moves and cooperates with the valve core 5, the first slot 51, the second slot 52, and the third slot 53 can respectively make two of the five cavities P, A, B, RA, and RB form a closed or conductive state. Taking the solenoid valve connected to the hydraulic cylinder as an example, the P cavity is connected to the liquid medium source and is the oil inlet of the solenoid valve. If the solenoid valve is used in conjunction with the cylinder, P is the air inlet. The A and B cavities are connected to the hydraulic cylinder and are the outlets of the liquid. The action of the solenoid valve guides the liquid to the corresponding working port, thereby driving the hydraulic cylinder to operate. RA and RB are usually drain ports, connected to the oil drain pipe, used to discharge the liquid in the fluid system. Switching the valve core 5 will guide the fluid of A or B to these oil drain ports to ensure the normal operation of the system.
[0024] Furthermore, when the valve core 5 moves away from the spring 6 (i.e., in the initial state), the solenoid coil 2 is de-energized, and the spring 6's elastic force maintains the valve core 5's rightward bias. The second slot 52 connects the P and A chambers, the third slot 52 connects the B and RB chambers, and RA is closed. When the valve core moves toward the spring 6 (i.e., when the solenoid coil 2 is energized, electromagnetic force is generated to push the movable iron 3, thereby driving the sealing iron guide 4 and the valve core 5 to the right. The sealing iron guide 4's ends are connected to the movable iron 3 and the valve core 5, respectively, to achieve multi-component linkage. After the valve core 5 compresses the spring 6 and moves to the right, the second slot 52 connects the P and B chambers, the first slot 51 connects the A and RA chambers, and RB is closed. When the solenoid coil 2 is de-energized, the electromagnetic force disappears, and the compressed spring 6 releases its elastic force, causing the valve core 5, the sealing iron guide 4, and the movable iron 3 to reset, and the solenoid valve returns to its initial state. The movement of the valve core 5 switches between the two working positions, thereby controlling the operation of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0025] Furthermore, the electromagnetic wire tube 8 and the plug 7 are sealed and connected to the two ends of the valve body 1. A wire tube sealing ring is provided at the connection between the electromagnetic wire tube 8 and the valve body 1. Specifically, a plug sealing ring 71 is provided at the connection between the plug 7 and the valve body 1 to ensure the overall sealing performance of the solenoid valve. The spring 6 is sleeved on the plug 7 and the valve core 5. The elastic force of the spring 6 can act on the valve core 5, so that when the electromagnetic coil 2 is not energized, the valve core 5 can always be kept in the right state due to the thrust of the spring 6.
[0026] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
