[0002] Existing proportional solenoid valves generally exhibit the following defects under high temperature and high pressure differential conditions: First, the coil and magnetic sleeve elongate axially with the temperature rise, causing the valve core to drift at zero position and the control accuracy to drop sharply; Second, the valve core is easily subjected to the impact of radial unbalanced hydraulic force and return oil back pressure fluctuation, which can easily generate vibration, noise, or even jamming; Third, the integral magnetic sleeve has large eddy current losses and limited response frequency.

[0032] The compensation ring 301 of the thermal compensation module 3 is interference-fitted onto the outer wall of the magnetic sleeve 201, with its two end faces abutting against the flange and the stepped surface of the valve body 101, respectively.
[0033] The dynamic pressure stabilizing module 4 includes a pressure stabilizing piston 401 located in the blind hole at the tail of the valve core, a pressure stabilizing spring 402 for the top piston, and an adjusting screw 403 for adjusting the preload of the spring; the adjusting screw 403 is threaded to the central screw hole of the rear cover 104.
[0034] The valve body 101 is provided with an oil inlet channel P, an oil return channel T, and a working channel A that are isolated from each other; the outer wall of the valve sleeve 102 is provided with three annular grooves: the oil inlet groove near the front end is connected to the oil inlet channel P, the middle working groove is connected to the working channel A, and the tail oil return groove is connected to the oil return channel T; the inner guide section of the valve sleeve 102 is provided with a double-headed spiral oil groove.
[0035] The compensation ring 301 is a bimetallic composite structure comprising a titanium alloy substrate layer 3012 and a copper-tungsten alloy compensation layer 3011; the copper-tungsten alloy compensation layer 3011 is welded to the inner wall of the titanium alloy substrate layer 3012; the axial height of the compensation ring 301 is equal to the length of the magnetic sleeve.
[0036] The magnetic sleeve 201 is composed of a soft iron section and an eddy current suppression section coaxially welded together; the eddy current suppression section is a silicon steel sheet laminate with epoxy insulating varnish between the sheets; the axial length of the steel sheet laminate is equal to the width of the winding area of the coil frame, and both ends are fixed to the soft iron section.
[0037] The valve core 103 has a three-shoulder structure, with the middle shoulder fitting with the valve sleeve guide hole; a pressure-stabilizing blind hole is opened at the tail of the valve core, and the bottom hole is connected to the return oil channel T; the displacement sensor 5 moving iron core is press-fitted into the center hole at the front end of the valve core.

[0040] Working principle
[0041] Power-driven operation: The coil assembly is energized → the push rod pushes the valve core to the left → the middle shoulder opens the P → A oil circuit; the displacement sensor 5 provides real-time feedback on the valve core position, forming a closed-loop control.
[0042] Thermal compensation process: Temperature rises → magnetic sleeve 201 expands to increase magnetic gap → copper-tungsten alloy compensation layer 3011 compresses magnetic sleeve 201 with greater expansion → maintaining constant magnetic gap.
[0043] Pressure stabilization process: When the pressure at port A suddenly increases, the oil enters the pressure stabilizing chamber through the valve core through hole. The pressure stabilizing piston 401 moves to the right and compresses the pressure stabilizing spring 402. The conical surface gap increases, accelerating the pressure relief. The conical pressure stabilizing piston and the variable pitch pressure stabilizing spring constitute a hydraulic damper.
