Electromagnetic Valve Assembly With Nested Connector Layout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electromagnetic valves have a large volume due to the spatial arrangement of their components, which hinders miniaturization efforts in fluid control systems.
Innovation Solution
The electromagnetic valve design incorporates a magnetic conductor positioned between the coil assembly and the valve body, with a connector connecting the magnetic conductor to the valve body. The coil assembly features a first recess forming openings on its lower and side walls, allowing for a compact accommodating portion that houses the connector's limiting end portion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the magnetic conductor is fixed to the valve body through external parts, then the structural integrity is maintained, but the volume of the electromagnetic valve increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connector integrates both the connection function (fixing magnetic conductor to valve body) and the positioning function (limiting radial position) into a single component. The connector is directly integrated with the magnetic conductor, eliminating the need for separate external fixing parts, thereby reducing overall volume while maintaining structural integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The limiting end portion of the connector is nested within the accommodating portion formed by the coil assembly and magnetic conductor. This nesting arrangement allows the connector to be housed within the existing structural space, reducing the external volume requirements while maintaining the connection function.
2Volume of moving object
If the connector extends outward to connect magnetic conductor with valve body, then the connection is secure, but the internal space is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The connector utilizes the radial dimension by extending through the positioning hole of the lug portion to connect with the valve body. This radial arrangement allows the connector to secure the magnetic conductor while its limiting end portion is accommodated in the accommodating portion, effectively using three-dimensional space rather than extending linearly outward.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector acts as an intermediary component that bridges the magnetic conductor and valve body. By designing the connector with a limiting end portion that fits into the accommodating portion, it provides both mechanical connection and spatial optimization, ensuring reliable connection while minimizing space consumption.
