Abstract

A cutoff valve comprises a coil wound around an outer periphery of a bobbin, a cylinder in contact with a protruding portion formed in an inner side of the bobbin, and an armature disposed inside the cylinder and moved in a winding axis direction of the coil by energization of the coil.

Claims (34)

1. An electromagnetic valve comprising:

a bobbin made of resin;

a coil wound around an outer periphery of the bobbin;

a cylindrical member in contact with an inner side of the bobbin, and

a movable member disposed inside the cylindrical member and configured to be moved in a winding axis direction of the coil by energization of the coil, wherein

the bobbin has an inner periphery that is retained in contact with an outer periphery of the cylindrical member,

the bobbin includes a protruding portion in the inner periphery, and the protruding portion is in contact with the outer periphery of the cylindrical member,

the protruding portion is provided in part of the bobbin in a circumferential direction,

the protruding portion is reduced in circumferential width inwards from an inner periphery of the bobbin, and

the bobbin is in contact with the movable member with the protruding portion intervening therebetween to increase heat conduction from the bobbin to the movable member.

2. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the protruding portion comprises four protruding portions provided in the circumferential direction of the bobbin.

3. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the protruding portion comprises three protruding portions provided in the circumferential direction of the bobbin.

4. The electromagnetic valve according to claim 1 ,

wherein the protruding portion comprises a plurality of protruding portions provided in a winding axis direction of the coil.

5. A brake control device comprising:

a housing, and an electromagnetic valve fixed to the housing,

the housing comprising a fluid channel,

the electromagnetic valve comprising:

a bobbin made of resin;

a coil wound around an outer periphery of the bobbin;

a cylindrical member in contact with an inner side of the bobbin;

a movable member disposed inside the cylindrical member and moved in a winding axis direction of the coil by energization of the coil, and

a valve portion configured to switch between communication states of the fluid channel in response to the motion of the movable member, wherein

the bobbin has an inner periphery that is retained in contact with an outer periphery of the cylindrical member,

the bobbin includes a protruding portion in the inner periphery, and the protruding portion is in contact with the outer periphery of the cylindrical member,

the protruding portion is provided in part of the bobbin in a circumferential direction,

the protruding portion is reduced in circumferential width inwards from an inner periphery of the bobbin, and

the bobbin is in contact with the movable member with the protruding portion intervening therebetween to increase heat conduction from the bobbin to the movable member.

6. The brake control device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the fluid channel is a connecting fluid channel that connects a master cylinder and the braking force imparting portion;

wherein the electromagnetic valve is provided in the connecting fluid channel; and

wherein a hydraulic pressure source is provided, which supplies brake fluid to a portion of the connecting fluid channel which extends from the electromagnetic valve toward the braking force imparting portion side.
