Abstract

A solenoid controlled valve includes a housing engaged into a receptacle and having a tubular member and having an outer peripheral space for receiving a coil, and having a peripheral compartment for receiving two magnetic conductive members, a solenoid controlled device includes two prongs connected to the coil, the housing includes an inlet mouth, and an outlet mouth communicative with the tubular member, and includes a valve seat formed between the outer end portion of the tubular member and the outlet mouth, and one or more reinforcing ribs for reinforcing the tubular member to resist a greater pressure, and the solenoid controlled device includes a plunger for engaging with the valve seat of the housing.

Claims (19)

1. A solenoid controlled valve comprising:

a receptacle including a chamber formed therein, and including a first end and a second end,

a housing engaged into said chamber of said receptacle and including a tubular member having a bore formed in said tubular member, and including an outer peripheral space formed in an outer peripheral portion of said tubular member and defined between spaced first and second panels, and including a peripheral compartment formed in said outer peripheral portion of said tubular member and defined between a plate and said first panel, said tubular member including an outer end portion extended out of said second end of said receptacle,

a solenoid controlled device including a coil engaged in said outer peripheral space of said housing, and including two prongs attached to said housing and extended out of said housing and electrically connected to said coil,

two magnetic conductive members engaged in said peripheral compartment of said housing,

said housing including an inlet mouth extended from said outer end portion of said tubular member and communicative with said bore of said tubular member for receiving a fluid, and including an outlet mouth extended from said outer end portion of said tubular member and having an orifice formed in said outlet mouth and communicative with said bore of said tubular member for allowing the fluid to selectively flow out through said orifice of said outlet mouth,

said housing including a valve seat formed within and defined between said outer end portion of said tubular member and said outlet mouth, and including at least one reinforcing rib provided between said tubular member and said plate for reinforcing said tubular member, and

said solenoid controlled device including a stator attached to said housing, a plunger slidably engaged in said bore of said tubular member and having an end portion for selectively engaging with said valve seat of said housing and for selectively blocking; and opening and controlling said valve seat of said housing, a spring biasing member engaged in said bore of said tubular member and engaged with said plunger for biasing said end portion of said plunger to selectively engage with said valve seat of said housing.

2. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said valve seat of said housing is a rounded valve seat.

3. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said valve seat of said housing is frustum-shaped.

4. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said stator is attached to said second panel of said housing and includes an extension extended outwardly therefrom and engaged into said bore of said tubular member.

5. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said stator includes a sealing ring engaged between said extension of said stator and said tubular member for making a tight seal between said extension of said stator and said tubular member.

6. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said end portion of said plunger is a resilient end portion.

7. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said housing includes a first cap for selectively engaging with said inlet mouth and for selectively blocking said inlet mouth of said housing, and a second cap for selectively engaging with said outlet mouth and for selectively blocking said outlet mouth of said housing.

8. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said inlet mouth of said housing is perpendicular to said tubular member.

9. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said outlet mouth of said housing is parallel to said tubular member.

10. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said housing includes a cover engaged into said chamber of said receptacle and attached to said first end of said receptacle, and said prongs are extended out through said cover.

11. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said housing includes a rounded coupling portion formed between said outer end portion of said tubular member and said outlet mouth.

12. The solenoid controlled valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one reinforcing rib is provided between said tubular member and said plate and said inlet mouth of said housing.
