Abstract

In order to prevent deterioration of sliding performance of a piston and center core misalignment of the piston when the piston moves for its stroke, there is provided an air bypass valve including: a coil casing in which a coil is accommodated; a pilot valve section covered by the coil casing and having a movable iron core inserted in the coil; and a piston section fitted in the coil casing and having a piston with a hole. The air bypass valve further includes a protrusion provided at an edge of an opening portion of the piston casing which constitutes the piston section.

Claims (21)

1. An air bypass valve comprising:

a coil casing in which a coil is accommodated;

a pilot valve section covered by the coil casing, the pilot valve section comprising a movable iron core inserted into the coil; and

a piston section fitted in the coil casing, the piston section comprising a piston having a hole at a bottom thereof, wherein

the piston section comprises:

the piston;

a first spring accommodated in the piston; and

a piston casing having an opening portion formed to cover an outer periphery of the piston,

the pilot valve section comprises:

the coil in which a copper wire is wound around a hollow cylindrical bobbin;

a fixed iron core inserted into an inner diametrical part of the coil from one end side thereof;

the movable iron core inserted into the inner diametrical part of the coil from the other end side thereof, the movable iron core comprising recesses at both ends;

a yoke inserted into a clearance between the inner diametrical part of the coil and the movable iron core;

a second spring accommodated in the recess on one end side of the movable iron core;

a steel ball accommodated in the recess on the other end side of the movable iron core;

a valve seat disposed so as to face the other end side of the movable iron core; and

a seat holder having a through-hole, the valve seat and the steel ball being accommodated in the seat holder, and

a protrusion is provided at an edge of the opening portion of the piston casing.

2. The air bypass valve according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing member is provided between the piston and the piston casing, and the sealing member is fixed by the seat holder.

3. The air bypass valve according to claim 1 , wherein a notch is provided at an edge of a leading end of the piston.

4. The air bypass valve according to claim 1 , wherein a periphery of the hole of the piston is formed in a protruding shape.
