Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve includes an armature provided inside the sleeve, a plunger configured to ascend and descend by the operation of the armature, an elastic member configured to press the plunger toward the armature, a magnet core having a through hole in which the plunger and the elastic member are provided and forming an inner space in a longitudinal direction, a valve seat provided in the inner space and on which an orifice penetrating in an axial direction is formed to be opened and closed by the plunger, and a plurality of flow resistance members each including a ring body interposed between the valve seat and the magnet core to generate a flow resistance of a braking fluid, and a slot formed at one side of the ring body to penetrate through the ring body so that the braking fluid passes therethrough.

a plurality of flow resistance members comprising a first flow resistance member and a second flow resistance member coupled with the first flow resistance member, each of the plurality of the flow resistance members comprising a ring body interposed between the valve seat and the magnet core to generate a flow resistance of the braking fluid, and a slot formed at one side of the ring body to penetrate through the ring body so that the braking fluid passes therethrough,

wherein the magnet core comprises a first support protrusion protruding from an inner circumferential surface thereof to support an upper end of the first flow resistance member, and

wherein the valve seat comprises a second support protrusion protruding from an outer circumferential surface thereof to support an upper end of the second flow resistance member.

2. The solenoid valve according to claim 1 , wherein

the respective slots of the plurality of flow resistance members are disposed in different directions with respect to a central axis.

3. The solenoid valve according to claim 2 , wherein

the respective slots are disposed in opposite directions with respect to the central axis.

4. The solenoid valve according to claim 1 , wherein

the ring body comprises a gap maintaining protrusion protruding from an upper end or a lower end thereof.

5. The solenoid valve according to claim 4 , wherein

the gap maintaining protrusion is provided such that a width thereof is at least smaller than a width of the ring body and is formed along a circumferential direction.

6. The solenoid valve according to claim 1 , further comprising

an outlet filter comprising: a circumferential portion in which an inner circumferential surface thereof is coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the magnet core;

a first filter part provided at a lower end of the circumferential portion to filter out foreign substances contained in the braking fluid flowing through an inner flow path between the first hydraulic port and the orifice; and

a boss portion inserted into the valve seat to form a connection flow path between the orifice and the second hydraulic port.

7. The solenoid valve according to claim 6 , wherein

the outlet filter further comprises a bypass flow path to communicate the inner flow path and the connection flow path, and

the bypass flow path comprises a ball valve provided to allow only a flow of the braking fluid from the inner flow path to the connection flow path.

8. The solenoid valve according to claim 7 , further comprising

an inlet filter coupled with the outlet filter and comprising a second filter part to filter out foreign substances contained in the braking fluid flowing between the second hydraulic port and the connection flow path.

9. A solenoid valve configured to be installed in a bore of a modulator block having a first hydraulic port and a second hydraulic port to control a flow of a braking fluid, the solenoid valve comprises:

a sleeve;

an armature provided inside the sleeve;

a first ring and a second ring each comprising a ring body interposed between the valve seat and the magnet core to generate a flow resistance of the braking fluid, and a slot formed at one side of the ring body to penetrate through the ring body so that the braking fluid passes therethrough,

wherein the magnet core comprises a first support protrusion protruding from an inner circumferential surface thereof to support an upper end of the first ring, and

wherein the valve seat comprises a second support protrusion protruding from an outer circumferential surface thereof to support an upper end of the second ring.

10. The solenoid valve according to claim 9 , wherein

a predetermined gap is maintained between a lower end of the first ring and the upper end of the second ring.

11. The solenoid valve according to claim 9 , wherein

the respective slots of the first ring and the second ring are disposed in different directions with respect to a central axis.

12. The solenoid valve according to claim 11 , wherein

the respective slots are disposed in opposite directions with respect to the central axis.

13. The solenoid valve according to claim 9 , further comprising

an outlet filter comprising: a circumferential portion in which an inner circumferential surface thereof is coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the magnet core;

a first filter part provided at a lower end of the circumferential portion to filter out foreign substances contained in the braking fluid flowing through an inner flow path between the first hydraulic port and the orifice; and

a boss portion inserted into the valve seat to form a connection flow path between the orifice and the second hydraulic port.

14. The solenoid valve according to claim 13 , wherein

the outlet filter further comprises a bypass flow path to communicate the inner flow path and the second hydraulic port, and

the bypass flow path comprises a ball valve provided to allow only a flow of the braking fluid from the inner flow path to the connection flow path.

15. The solenoid valve according to claim 14 , further comprising

an inlet filter coupled with the outlet filter and comprising a second filter part to filter out foreign substances contained in the braking fluid flowing between the second hydraulic port and the connection flow path.

16. A solenoid valve configured to be installed in a bore of a modulator block having a first hydraulic port and a second hydraulic port to control a flow of a braking fluid, the solenoid valve comprises:
