Abstract

An electromagnetic valve, including a valve body, a valve sleeve, a valve element, a static iron core, a movable iron core and a first valve port portion, and further including a limiting member, a first spring and a second spring. One end of the first spring abuts against the limiting member, and the other end of the first spring abuts against the static iron core. One end of the second spring abuts against the movable iron core, and the other end of the second spring abuts against the valve element. The limiting member includes a first limiting portion, and the movable iron core includes a second limiting portion. The valve element includes a third limiting portion, and the movable iron core includes a fourth limiting portion.
