If a conventional electromagnetic valve structure is used, then the device complexity is low, but the heat dissipation of the coil is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A cylindrical member is introduced as an intermediary heat conduction component between the bobbin and the valve body. This mediator establishes a thermal pathway that efficiently transfers heat from the coil to the valve body, resolving the heat dissipation issue without requiring fundamental changes to the electromagnetic valve structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The air gap between the bobbin and valve body is extracted/eliminated by introducing the cylindrical member. This removal of the thermal insulator (air) and replacement with a thermal conductor (cylindrical member) creates an effective heat dissipation pathway while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Temperature

If the bobbin is isolated from the valve body, then the manufacturing is simple, but the heat dissipation path is blocked

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The cylindrical member is nested within the bobbin structure, fitting into the radial space between the coil and the valve body. This nested configuration creates an efficient heat conduction pathway without adding external components or complicating the assembly process.
