SOLENOID VALVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17880231 titled 'SOLENOID VALVE
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a solenoid valve design that improves stability and reliability. The valve includes several key components:
- Valve seat: This is the part of the valve that contains the flow path for the fluid.
- Plunger: The plunger is a movable component that controls the opening and closing of the valve.
- Support member: Located at the end of the plunger facing the valve seat, the support member has an insertion hole where the valve seat is inserted. It is connected to a spring member that provides elastic support for the plunger's movement.
- Valve member: This component is seated in the support member and helps regulate the flow of fluid.
- Inclined guide surface: A guide surface is provided along the periphery of the valve seat, which helps direct the movement of the plunger.
- Inclined recess: An inclined recess is present in the inner wall surface of the insertion hole, facing the inclined guide surface. Together, the inclined recess and guide surface create a movement path that connects with the valve flow path.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Solenoid valves are commonly used in various industries, including automotive, manufacturing, and fluid control systems.
- This improved solenoid valve design can be applied in any system that requires precise control of fluid flow.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The inclined guide surface and recess provide a more stable and reliable movement path for the plunger, reducing the risk of jamming or misalignment.
- This design ensures smoother and more accurate control of fluid flow, improving overall system performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved stability and reliability of the solenoid valve.
- Enhanced precision and control over fluid flow.
- Reduced risk of malfunction or failure.
- Increased overall system performance and efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a solenoid valve including: a valve seat having a valve flow path; a plunger; a support member disposed at an end of the plunger facing the valve flow path, the support member having an insertion hole into which the valve seat is inserted, and the support member being connected to a spring member configured to elastically support a movement of the plunger; a valve member seated in the support member; an inclined guide surface provided along a periphery of the valve seat; and an inclined recess provided in an inner wall surface of the insertion hole facing the inclined guide surface, in which the inclined recess and the inclined guide surface collectively define a movement path that communicates with the valve flow path, thereby obtaining an advantageous effect of improving stability and reliability.
