Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electromagnetic valve technology, specifically to an electromagnetic valve. Background Technology

[0002] Common solenoid valves include pilot-operated solenoid valves and direct-acting solenoid valves. Both utilize the magnetic force generated when the solenoid coil is energized to lift a metal guide post located in the center of the coil, thereby controlling the flow of water. Once the power is cut off, the metal guide post returns to its original position, disconnecting the water flow. Pilot-operated solenoid valves require pressure to operate. They primarily use pressure difference to open and close the water flow opening within the base (i.e., the main valve port). The metal guide post is mainly used for opening and closing with the pilot orifice. For the main valve port to open, the solenoid valve needs a certain starting pressure; without pressure, it can only open the pilot orifice and cannot open the main valve port. Direct-acting solenoid valves are simpler. For example, CN222783090U discloses a solenoid valve including a coil body and a valve seat. The coil body has a downward-facing cavity in the middle, and the valve seat has an upward-facing inner cavity. The lower part of the coil body is connected to a connecting piece, which is through the middle and inserted into the inner cavity of the valve seat. The coil body, connecting piece, and valve seat are fixed by screws. A spring and an iron core are placed in sequence with the cavity facing downward. The spring is sleeved on the upper part of the iron core, and a plug is sleeved on the lower part of the iron core. The diameter of the middle part of the iron core is larger than the diameter of its upper and lower ends. The lower part of the iron core has a butt that can be sleeved on the inner cavity of the plug. The upper part of the butt is a connecting rod, and the lower part of the connecting rod is a plug with a diameter larger than the connecting rod. The lower end of the plug blocks the water inlet in the inner cavity of the valve seat. In addition, the connecting piece and the coil, and the connecting piece and the valve seat are respectively provided with sealing rings and sealing rings. During operation, it can be directly closed or opened, and can work under zero pressure or negative pressure conditions.

[0003] Pilot-operated solenoid valves have small solenoid heads, low power consumption, large flow capacity, and can be energized frequently and for extended periods without burning out, while also being energy-efficient. Direct-acting solenoid valves have a smaller flow capacity than pilot-operated solenoid valves, but their direct-acting operation results in a faster response time. However, they suffer from higher power consumption and have a lower pressure resistance than pilot-operated solenoid valves.

[0004] Therefore, based on the structure of the pilot-operated solenoid valve, the advantages of both pilot-operated and direct-acting solenoid valves can be combined to give it the characteristics of fast response time, strong pressure resistance, and large flow capacity. Utility Model Content

The spring is sleeved on the upper part of the iron core. A sealing ring is installed in the inner cavity of the valve seat and is sleeved on the outside of a valve core. The valve core has a vertically extending pilot hole at its center. A plug is fixedly connected to the lower end of the iron core. The plug is engaged with the upper end of the valve core and is used to open or block the pilot hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the plug is fitted with a retainer, which engages the plug with the upper end of the valve core. The valve core has an upward-facing groove for the plug and retainer to engage.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper part of the sealing ring is abutted against the bottom end of the cylinder at the lower part of the intermediate connector.

[0010] Furthermore, the intermediate connector has a through channel running vertically through which the iron core passes.
