Abstract

Disclosed is a solenoid valve for a brake system. The solenoid valve comprises an armature disposed inside a sleeve to open and close an orifice formed in a seat by moving up and down along an axial direction together with a plunger; an elastic member for providing an elastic force to the armature; a magnet core accommodating the seat therein and providing a driving force to the armature in a direction opposite to the elastic force of the elastic member; a seal stopper coupled to a lower side of the magnet core so as to communicate with the orifice and having a slot on an outer circumferential surface thereof to allow the flow of a fluid through the slot; an outlet filter forming an outer flow passage with the seal stopper; an inlet filter coupled to a lower side of the seal stopper; a lip seal fitted between the seal stopper and the inlet filter and having an inclined protruding portion to allow only one-way flow of the fluid; an orifice flow passage opened and closed by the up and down movement of the armature; and a one-way flow passage formed to include a mesh portion of the outlet filter, a gap formed between a modulator block and the lip seal due to a deformation of the lip seal, and a mesh portion of the inlet filter, wherein the inlet filter includes a protruding portion inclined outwardly so as to have a chamber therein, and the lip seal is provided so that the inside thereof can be inserted into the chamber.

Claims (22)

1. A solenoid valve for a brake system comprising:

an armature disposed inside a sleeve to open and close an orifice formed in a seat by moving up and down along an axial direction together with a plunger;

an elastic member for providing an elastic force to the armature;

a magnet core accommodating the seat therein and providing a driving force to the armature in a direction opposite to the elastic force of the elastic member;

a seal stopper coupled to a lower side of the magnet core so as to communicate with the orifice and having a slot on an outer circumferential surface thereof to allow the flow of a fluid through the slot;

an outlet filter forming an Outer flow passage with the seal stopper;

an inlet filter coupled to a lower side of the seal stopper;

a lip seal fitted between the seal stopper and the inlet filter and having an inclined protruding portion to allow only one-way flow of the fluid;

an orifice flow passage opened and closed by the up and down movement of the armature;

a one-way flow passage formed to include a mesh portion of the outlet filter, a gap formed between a modulator block and the lip seal due to a deformation of the lip seal,

and a mesh portion of the inlet filter, wherein the inlet filter includes a protruding portion inclined outwardly so as to have a chamber therein, and the lip seal is provided so that the inside thereof can be inserted into the chamber;

wherein an upper end portion of the outlet filter is in close contact with the magnet core and a lower end portion of the outlet filter is in close contact with the modulator block, and the one-way flow passage is formed to include the outer flow passage formed between the outlet filter and the seal stopper;

wherein the seal stopper includes an upward protruding portion forming the outer flow passage with the outlet filter, and a seat fastening portion to which an inner circumferential surface of the seat is coupled.

2. The solenoid valve according to claim 1 , wherein

the seal stopper includes a lateral protruding portion which is supported by an inclined surface of the modulator block to restrict a downward movement and maintains spacing with the modulator block, and

the one-way flow passage is formed to include a gap between the seal stopper and the modulator block.

3. The solenoid valve according to claim 1 , wherein

the inlet filter includes an inner press-fit portion to press-fit the seal stopper, and

a lower end of a protruding portion of the inlet filter is supported by the modulator block to prevent separation from the seal stopper.

4. The solenoid valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein a mesh portion is provided in the outer flow passage on the one-way flow passage and an inner flow passage on the orifice flow passage.

5. The solenoid valve according to claim 1 , wherein the inlet filter includes a protruding portion inclined outwardly so as to have a chamber therein.
