Abstract

An electromagnetic valve includes: a valve main body including an inlet and an outlet of a fluid; a valve body to be seated on a valve seat provided between the inlet and the outlet; a movable iron core separating the valve body from the valve seat to communicate the inlet with the outlet; and a fixed iron core attracting the movable iron core by energization of a coil to axially drive the movable iron core. The valve main body includes an insertion hole into which a guide member is inserted and a stopper portion to stop the guide member biased by a pressure of the fluid. The guide member includes a sliding hole in which the movable iron core is axially movable, and is arranged in the insertion hole in a slidable manner with respect to the valve main body to be biased by the pressure of the fluid.

Claims (53)

1. An electromagnetic valve, comprising:

a valve main body that includes an inlet and an outlet of a fluid;

a valve body that is to be seated on a valve seat provided between the inlet and the outlet;

a movable iron core that separates the valve body from the valve seat to thereby communicate the inlet with the outlet; and

a fixed iron core that attracts the movable iron core by energization of a coil to thereby axially drive the movable iron core,

wherein the valve main body includes an insertion hole into which a guide member is inserted,

wherein the guide member includes a sliding hole in which the movable iron core is axially movable, and is arranged in the insertion hole in a slidable manner with respect to the valve main body to be biased by a pressure of the fluid,

wherein the valve main body includes a stopper portion to stop the guide member biased by the pressure of the fluid,

wherein the stopper portion is a cap member that closes an opening of the insertion hole,

wherein the fixed iron core is arranged between the movable iron core and the cap member,

wherein the insertion hole communicates with the inlet, and

wherein the guide member and the fixed iron core are adapted to be biased in a same direction by the pressure of the fluid introduced from the inlet.

2. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 1 , wherein the guide member and the fixed iron core are biased toward the cap member by the pressure of the fluid introduced from the inlet.

3. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 2 ,

wherein the fixed iron core includes an abutment portion which an end of the guide member on a side of the cap member abuts, and

wherein the fixed iron core is biased toward the cap member by the guide member through the abutment portion.

4. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 2 , wherein the insertion hole includes a bottom surface extending in a radial direction of the guide member, and includes an action chamber, which communicates with the inlet and into which the fluid is introduced, formed between the bottom surface and the guide member.

5. The wherein electromagnetic valve according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a pilot passage that penetrates the valve body in an axial direction thereof; and

a pilot valve body that opens and closes the pilot passage,

wherein the movable iron core includes a housing hole to house the valve body,

wherein the valve body is housed in the housing hole in an axially movable manner,

wherein the movable iron core moves the pilot valve body to thereby open the pilot passage, and subsequently moves the valve body housed in the housing hole to thereby communicate the inlet with the outlet.

6. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 5 ,

wherein an outer circumference of the movable iron core includes a groove, and

wherein the movable iron core includes a connection hole to communicate the groove with the housing hole.

7. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 6 ,

wherein the movable iron core includes:

a smaller diameter portion in which the pilot valve body is pressure-fitted and fixed; and

a communication hole to communicate the groove with the smaller diameter portion.

8. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 7 , wherein the connection hole is provided at one end of the smaller diameter portion and at a position not to be closed by the valve body.

9. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 5 ,

wherein an outer circumference of the movable iron core includes a groove, and

wherein the movable iron core includes:

a smaller diameter portion in which the pilot valve body is pressure-fitted and fixed; and

a communication hole to communicate the groove with the smaller diameter portion.

10. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 8 , wherein the connection hole is provided at one end of the smaller diameter portion and at a position not to be closed by the valve body.

11. An electromagnetic valve, comprising:

a valve main body that includes an inlet and an outlet of a fluid;

a valve body that is to be seated on a valve seat provided between the inlet and the outlet;

a movable iron core that separates the valve body from the valve seat to thereby communicate the inlet with the outlet; and

a fixed iron core that attracts the movable iron core by energization of a coil to thereby axially drive the movable iron core,

wherein the valve main body includes an insertion hole into which a guide member is inserted,

wherein the guide member includes a sliding hole in which the movable iron core is axially movable, and is arranged in the insertion hole in a slidable manner with respect to the valve main body to be biased by a pressure of the fluid,

wherein the valve main body includes a stopper portion to stop the guide member biased by the pressure of the fluid, and wherein an engagement member having an annular shape is pressure-fitted and fixed in the movable iron core, and a front end of the valve body passes through an inside of the engagement member and projects toward the valve seat member.

12. An electromagnetic valve, comprising:

a valve main body that includes an inlet and an outlet of a fluid;

a valve body that is to be seated on a valve seat provided between the inlet and the outlet;

a movable iron core that separates the valve body from the valve seat to thereby communicate the inlet with the outlet; and

a fixed iron core that attracts the movable iron core by energization of a coil to thereby axially drive the movable iron core,

wherein the valve main body includes an insertion hole into which a guide member is inserted,

wherein the guide member includes a sliding hole in which the movable iron core is axially movable, and is arranged in the insertion hole in a slidable manner with respect to the valve main body to be biased by a pressure of the fluid,

wherein the valve main body includes a stopper portion to stop the guide member biased by the pressure of the fluid, and wherein the fixed iron core is pressure-fitted and fixed in the sliding hole, and the guide member is arranged along with the fixed iron core in the insertion hole in a slidable manner with respect to the valve main body.
