Abstract

A solenoid valve for brake system includes a valve housing installed in a modulator block, and having an oil flow path; a valve seat installed in the inside of the valve housing, and forming an orifice; an armature configured to move up and down by a magnet core in the valve housing, and to open or close the orifice; a sleeve coupled with the valve housing, and accommodating the armature therein; a restoring spring configured to provide an elastic restoring force to the armature to close the orifice normally; and a damper member interposed between the magnet core and the armature.

Claims (40)

1. A solenoid valve for a brake system comprising:

a valve housing disposed in a modulator block, and having an oil flow path;

a valve seat disposed in an inside of the valve housing, and having an orifice;

an armature configured to move up and down in the valve housing by a magnet core to open or close the orifice;

a sleeve coupled with the valve housing, and accommodating the armature therein;

a restoring spring configured to provide an elastic restoring force to the armature to close the orifice normally; and

a damper member interposed between the magnet core and the armature and spaced apart from the restoring spring, the damper member being a separate member from the armature,

wherein the armature having a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion to form a dent portion, the dent portion having a first surface on which the damper member is disposed,

an inner circumferential surface of the damper member is disposed outwardly of an outer circumferential surface of the small diameter portion in a radial direction,

a thickness of the damper member in a first direction is greater than a depth of the dent portion, the first direction being defined as a direction from a top edge of the armature to the first surface of the dent portion and the depth of the dent portion being defined as a distance from the top edge of the armature to the first surface of the dent portion, and

the first surface of the dent portion extends to an outer circumferential surface of the large diameter portion of the armature to be opened in the radial direction.

2. The solenoid valve for the brake system according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the damper member is greater than a thickness of the small diameter portion.

3. The solenoid valve for the brake system according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the damper member is greater than a height of the small diameter portion based on the first direction in which the armature is configured to move up or down.

4. A solenoid valve for a brake system comprising:

a valve housing disposed in a modulator block, and having an oil flow path;

a valve seat disposed in an inside of the valve housing, and having an orifice;

an armature configured to move up and down in the valve housing by a magnet core to open or close the orifice;

a sleeve coupled with the valve housing, and accommodating the armature therein;

a restoring spring configured to provide an elastic restoring force to the armature to close the orifice normally; and

a damper member interposed between the magnet core and the armature and spaced apart from the restoring spring, the damper member being a separate member from the armature,

wherein a dent portion, defined at a top edge of the armature, includes a first surface on which the damper member is disposed in a first direction, the first direction being defined as a direction from the top edge of the armature to the first surface of the dent portion,

a thickness of the damper member in the first direction is greater than a depth of the dent portion in the first direction, the depth being defined as a distance from the top edge of the armature to the first surface of the dent portion in the first direction, and

the first surface of the dent portion extends to an outer circumferential surface of the armature to be opened in a radial direction.

5. The solenoid valve for the brake system according to claim 4 , wherein the damper member is in a shape of a ring.

6. The solenoid valve for the brake system according to claim 4 , wherein a protrusion is formed in a shape of a half sphere on one surface of the damper member facing the magnet core.

7. The solenoid valve for the brake system according to claim 4 , wherein a protrusion is formed in a cube-like shape on one surface of the damper member facing the magnet core.

8. The solenoid valve for the brake system according to claim 1 , wherein the damper member includes polyetherether ketone (PEEK).

9. A solenoid valve for a brake system comprising:

a valve housing disposed in a modulator block, and having an oil flow path;

a valve seat disposed in an inside of the valve housing, and having an orifice;

an armature configured to move up and down in the valve housing by a magnet core to open or close the orifice;

a sleeve coupled with the valve housing, and accommodating the armature therein;

a restoring spring configured to provide an elastic restoring force to the armature to close the orifice normally; and

a damper member interposed between the magnet core and the armature and spaced apart from the restoring spring, the damper member being a separate member from the armature,

wherein the damper member includes a protrusion which is higher in height than other parts of the damper member,

a dent portion is formed at a top edge of the armature and includes a first surface on which the damper member is disposed in a first direction, the first direction being defined as a direction from the top edge of the armature to the first surface of the dent portion,

a thickness of the highest part of the damper member is greater than a depth of the dent portion in the first direction, the thickness of the highest part of the damper member being defined as a distance from the highest part of the protrusion to a bottom surface of the damper member, the depth of the dent portion being defined as a distance from the top edge of the armature to the first surface of the dent portion in the first direction, and

the first surface of the dent portion extends to an outer circumferential surface of the armature to be opened in a radial direction.

10. The solenoid valve for the brake system according to claim 9 , wherein the protrusion is formed in a shape of a half sphere.

11. The solenoid valve for the brake system according to claim 9 , wherein the protrusion is formed in a cube-like shape.
