[0002] Solenoid valves, as a common fluid control element, are widely used in industrial automation, hydraulic transmission, pneumatic systems and other fields. They control the movement of the valve core through electromagnetic force to open or close the fluid passage.
[0003] In existing technologies, the structure of a solenoid valve typically includes key components such as a stationary iron core, a moving iron core, a piston seat, and a valve seat. To ensure the stability of the valve core's movement and its sealing performance, a piston seat is integrally installed below the stationary iron core. The piston seat and the valve seat are assembled through threaded connections, welding, or other fixing methods. The piston head is movably installed within the piston seat and performs sealing or opening actions corresponding to the valve port position of the valve seat.
[0004] However, since the piston seat and the stationary iron core are made in one piece, the precision and performance requirements of the processing equipment are high, which directly leads to an increase in manufacturing costs. In addition, the connection between the piston seat and the valve seat requires multiple assembly processes, which prolongs the overall assembly cycle of the solenoid valve and seriously affects production efficiency.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 The pistonless snap-fit solenoid valve shown includes: a valve seat 1, a valve core assembly 2, and a snap-fit assembly 3 disposed at the connection between the valve seat 1 and the valve core assembly 2; The valve core assembly 2 includes a stationary iron core 21 and a moving iron core 22 arranged coaxially, and a drive assembly 23 for driving the moving iron core 22 to open or close the valve port; The valve seat 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11 for the snap-fit assembly 3 to be embedded, and an annular groove 12 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 11; The snap-fit assembly 3 includes a connecting disc 31 and a retaining ring 32. The center hole of the connecting disc 31 is interference-fitted with the stationary iron core 21 to ensure a secure connection. The retaining ring 32 is installed in the annular groove 12, with its outer side wall tightly abutting against the side wall of the annular groove 12, providing stable radial support. The inner diameter of the retaining ring 32 is smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting disc 31. This ensures that the connecting disc 31 is reliably limited by the retaining ring 32, preventing axial movement.
[0021] By using the interference fit between the connecting disc 31 and the stationary iron core 21, the piston seat is eliminated, reducing the processing difficulty and equipment requirements, and further saving processing costs; in addition, the snap-fit structure between the snap ring 32 and the connecting disc 31 simplifies the assembly process of the valve seat 1 and the valve core assembly 2, shortens the assembly cycle, and improves production efficiency.
[0022] In the preferred structure of this scheme, a sealing structure 4 is provided on the contact surface between the mounting groove 11 and the connecting plate 31. The end face sealing structure 4 can effectively prevent fluid leakage from the gap between the two, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of fluid control during the operation of the solenoid valve.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the valve core assembly 2 further includes a valve needle 24, a piston head 25, a first elastic element 26, and a limiting element 29; the piston head 25 is disposed at the valve port position of the valve seat 1, the valve needle 24 and the first elastic element 26 are disposed in the central hole of the moving iron core 22, and the limiting element 29 is fixedly disposed at the end of the moving iron core 22 away from the stationary iron core 21; the valve needle 24 is axially floating in the central hole of the moving iron core 22 through the first elastic element 26, and the end of the valve needle 24 penetrates the stationary iron core 21 and abuts against the piston head 25.
[0024] The valve needle 24, the first elastic element 26, and the limiting element 29 are sequentially arranged axially within the central hole of the moving iron core 22. The boss of the limiting element 29 is embedded in the central hole and is press-fitted with it. The fit between the limiting element 29 and the valve needle 24 provides axial compression to the first elastic element 26. The valve needle 24 can float axially through the first elastic element 26. When the moving iron core 22 drives the valve needle 24 to move, the elastic element can buffer the impact force of the moving iron core 22 on the valve needle 24, reducing component wear and extending service life. At the same time, the floating arrangement allows the valve needle 24 to better fit with the piston head 25. Even with minor assembly errors or component wear, the sealing effect of the piston head 25 on the valve port can be guaranteed by the compensation effect of the elastic element, improving sealing reliability.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment of the above scheme, the piston head 25 includes a sliding sleeve 251 and a sealing head 252 disposed on the end face of the sliding sleeve 251 facing the valve port.
[0026] The piston head 25 adopts a split structure, which can be manufactured using different materials according to usage requirements, reducing the overall processing difficulty. Furthermore, when one part needs to be replaced, there is no need to replace the entire piston head 25, thus reducing maintenance costs.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a shock-absorbing pad 27 is provided at the end of the moving iron core 22 away from the stationary iron core 21. This pad absorbs the impact force and vibration generated during the resetting process of the moving iron core 22, reduces collision noise between the moving iron core 22 and other components, and reduces the impact of vibration on the overall structure of the solenoid valve, thus helping to maintain the stability of the solenoid valve's operation and extend its service life.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner edge of the connecting disc 31 extends axially toward the moving iron core 22 to form a sleeve 31a. A stepped groove is provided on the outer cylindrical surface of the end of the stationary iron core 21 for the sleeve 31a to be inserted into; and the sleeve 31a and the stepped groove are interference-fitted. The sleeve 31a increases the contact area and fitting length between the connecting disc 31 and the stationary iron core 21, making the connection more robust and reliable. It effectively resists the axial and radial forces generated during the operation of the solenoid valve, preventing loosening of the connection and further ensuring the stability of the overall structure.
[0029] Based on the above scheme, the axial length of the sleeve 31a is less than the depth of the mounting groove 11 to avoid interference between the sleeve 31a and the installation of the electromagnetic coil 231.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the drive assembly 23 includes an electromagnetic coil 231 sleeved on the outside of the valve core assembly 2 and a reset spring 232 disposed between the stationary iron core 21 and the moving iron core 22.
[0031] The electromagnetic coil 231 generates magnetic force through the stationary iron core 21 to control the moving iron core 22 to close the valve port. The return spring 232 drives the moving iron core 22 to return to its original position after the moving iron core 22 loses its magnetic attraction, thereby opening the valve port. The two work together to make the opening and closing action of the solenoid valve respond quickly and stably, ensuring that the control commands can be accurately executed under different working conditions, thus improving the reliability of operation.
[0032] In this design, a magnetic shielding sleeve 28 is fitted onto the outer cylindrical surface of the stationary iron core 21 near the moving iron core 22. This effectively reduces magnetic leakage between the stationary iron core 21 and other components, allowing the magnetic force generated by the electromagnetic coil 231 to act more on the moving iron core 22, enhancing the attraction to the moving iron core 22, improving the response speed and driving force of the solenoid valve, and ensuring that the moving iron core 22 can quickly and reliably complete the valve port closing action.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the moving iron core 22 has a conical protrusion at one end near the stationary iron core 21, while the stationary iron core 21 has a conical groove for the protrusion to be inserted. When the moving iron core 22 moves toward the stationary iron core 21 under the action of electromagnetic force, the guiding effect of the conical surface can automatically correct any slight radial offset that may exist in the moving iron core 22, ensuring that the two are coaxially aligned. This avoids local wear or jamming caused by eccentricity when the moving iron core 22 and the stationary iron core 21 are attracted together, and ensures the long-term stability of the solenoid valve.
[0034] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
