Description

本発明は、コイルへの通電により可動鉄心を固定鉄心に吸引し、可動鉄心の移動によりパイロット弁体を移動した後、主弁体を移動して流体を制御する電磁パイロット開閉弁、特に、燃料電池車に搭載され、高圧水素ガスを充填したガスタンクからの高圧水素ガスの供給を制御する電磁パイロット開閉弁に関する。   The present invention relates to an electromagnetic pilot on-off valve for controlling a fluid by moving a main valve body after attracting a movable iron core to a fixed core by energizing a coil and moving a pilot valve body by movement of the movable iron core. The present invention relates to an electromagnetic pilot on-off valve that is mounted on a battery car and controls supply of high-pressure hydrogen gas from a gas tank filled with high-pressure hydrogen gas.

従来より、例えば、燃料電池車に搭載され、高圧水素ガスを充填したガスタンクからの高圧水素ガスの供給を制御する電磁パイロット開閉弁として、特許文献1にあるような電磁パイロット開閉弁が知られている。この電磁パイロット開閉弁では、可動鉄心にパイロット弁体を一体形成し、パイロット弁座を有する主弁体を軸方向へ摺動可能に設けている。そして、コイルへの通電により可動鉄心が固定鉄心に吸引されてパイロット弁体がパイロット弁座より離間し、流入口と流出口との差圧が小さくなって、主弁体がばねの付勢力により軸方向へ摺動して主弁座より離間して開弁し、高圧水素ガスを流入口から流出口へ流出するようにしている。   Conventionally, for example, an electromagnetic pilot on / off valve as disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known as an electromagnetic pilot on / off valve that is mounted on a fuel cell vehicle and controls the supply of high-pressure hydrogen gas from a gas tank filled with high-pressure hydrogen gas. Yes. In this electromagnetic pilot on-off valve, a pilot valve body is formed integrally with a movable iron core, and a main valve body having a pilot valve seat is provided so as to be slidable in the axial direction. When the coil is energized, the movable iron core is attracted to the fixed iron core, the pilot valve body is separated from the pilot valve seat, the differential pressure between the inlet and outlet is reduced, and the main valve body is moved by the biasing force of the spring. It slides in the axial direction and opens away from the main valve seat so that the high-pressure hydrogen gas flows out from the inlet to the outlet.

しかしながら、こうした従来のものでは、可動鉄心の軸方向の一端部にパイロット弁体を端部から軸方向に突き出して一体形成し、パイロット弁体が着座するパイロット弁座をパイロット弁体と対向する主弁体の軸方向の一端部に設けている。そして、ガイドに主弁体を摺動可能に支持すると共に、可動鉄心と一体のパイロット弁体を主弁体に軸方向へ摺動可能に挿入しているため、軸方向の長さが増大して電磁弁が大型化してしまうという問題があった。   However, in such a conventional one, the pilot valve body is integrally formed by protruding in the axial direction from one end portion of the movable core in the axial direction, and the pilot valve seat on which the pilot valve body is seated is opposed to the pilot valve body. It is provided at one end of the valve body in the axial direction. Since the main valve body is slidably supported by the guide and the pilot valve body integral with the movable iron core is inserted into the main valve body so as to be slidable in the axial direction, the axial length is increased. As a result, there is a problem that the solenoid valve becomes large.

本発明の課題は、可動鉄心に主弁体を内蔵して軸方向の長さを低減し、小型化を図り得る電磁パイロット開閉弁を提供することにある。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an electromagnetic pilot on-off valve that can reduce the length in the axial direction by incorporating a main valve body in a movable iron core and can be downsized.

かかる課題を達成すべく、本発明は課題を解決するため次の手段を取った。即ち、流路を開閉する主弁体と、前記主弁体を軸方向に貫通するパイロット流路と、前記パイロット流路を開閉するパイロット弁体と、前記主弁体を収納する収納孔が形成された可動鉄心と、前記可動鉄心をコイルへの通電により軸方向に吸引する固定鉄心と、を備え、前記主弁体は、軸方向に移動可能に前記収納孔に収納され、前記可動鉄心は、パイロット弁体を移動させてパイロット流路を開状態とした後、前記収納孔に収納した前記主弁体を移動させて前記流路を開くことを特徴とする電磁パイロット開閉弁がそれである。   In order to achieve this problem, the present invention has taken the following measures in order to solve the problem. That is, a main valve body that opens and closes the flow path, a pilot flow path that penetrates the main valve body in the axial direction, a pilot valve body that opens and closes the pilot flow path, and a storage hole that stores the main valve body are formed. A movable iron core and a fixed iron core that sucks the movable iron core in the axial direction by energizing the coil, and the main valve body is housed in the housing hole so as to be movable in the axial direction. Then, the pilot valve element is moved to open the pilot flow path, and then the main valve element accommodated in the accommodation hole is moved to open the flow path.

その際、前記可動鉄心は、円筒状であり、前記収納孔は、前記可動鉄心と同軸の円柱状の空間であってもよい。また、前記パイロット弁体は、球状に形成されて、前記収納孔に圧入固定され、前記主弁体は、前記パイロット弁体が圧入固定された収納孔に収納される構成でもよい。更に、前記主弁体は、前記収納孔に摺接する本体部と、前記本体部より小径に形成され前記収納孔から突出した状態で配置される小径部と、を有し、前記小径部が突出する前記収納孔の開口近傍には前記本体部の外径よりも小さい縮径部が形成され、前記可動鉄心に対する前記主弁体の軸方向への相対移動は、前記縮径部と前記パイロット弁体との間で規制される構成でもよい。   At this time, the movable iron core may be cylindrical, and the storage hole may be a columnar space coaxial with the movable iron core. The pilot valve body may be formed in a spherical shape and press-fitted and fixed in the storage hole, and the main valve body may be stored in a storage hole in which the pilot valve body is press-fitted and fixed. Further, the main valve body has a main body portion that is in sliding contact with the storage hole, and a small diameter portion that is formed in a state of being smaller in diameter than the main body portion and protrudes from the storage hole, and the small diameter portion projects. A diameter-reduced portion smaller than the outer diameter of the main body portion is formed in the vicinity of the opening of the storage hole, and the relative movement in the axial direction of the main valve body with respect to the movable iron core is caused by the reduced-diameter portion and the pilot valve. The structure regulated between bodies may be sufficient.

本発明の電磁パイロット開閉弁は、可動鉄心に形成した収納孔に主弁体を移動可能に収納したので、軸方向の長さを低減でき、小型化を図ることができるという効果を奏する。
また、可動鉄心を円筒状に、収納孔を可動鉄心と同軸の円柱状の空間とすることにより、可動鉄心の収納孔周辺部分に磁気回路として機能する領域を確保できる。更に、パイロット弁体を球状に形成して収納孔に圧入固定し、主弁体をパイロット弁体が圧入固定された収納孔に収納することにより、組立が容易になる。また、主弁体が収納孔に摺接する本体部と、本体部より小径に形成され収納孔から突出した状態で配置される小径部とを有し、小径部が突出する収納孔の開口近傍に本体部の外径よりも小さい縮径部を形成し、可動鉄心に対する主弁体の軸方向への相対移動を縮径部とパイロット弁体との間で規制することにより、可動鉄心の移動で、主弁体を確実に移動できる。
In the electromagnetic pilot on-off valve of the present invention, since the main valve body is movably accommodated in the accommodation hole formed in the movable iron core, the axial length can be reduced and the size can be reduced.
In addition, by making the movable iron core cylindrical and the accommodation hole a cylindrical space coaxial with the movable iron core, a region functioning as a magnetic circuit can be secured around the accommodation hole of the movable iron core. Further, the pilot valve body is formed in a spherical shape and is press-fitted and fixed in the storage hole, and the main valve body is stored in the storage hole in which the pilot valve body is press-fitted and fixed, thereby facilitating assembly. In addition, the main valve body has a main body portion that is in sliding contact with the storage hole, and a small diameter portion that is formed with a smaller diameter than the main body portion and protrudes from the storage hole, and in the vicinity of the opening of the storage hole from which the small diameter portion protrudes. By forming a reduced diameter part that is smaller than the outer diameter of the main body part and restricting the relative movement in the axial direction of the main valve element relative to the movable core between the reduced diameter part and the pilot valve element, The main valve body can be moved reliably.

The engaging member 62 has a smaller diameter than the main body 42a of the main valve body 42, and a small diameter portion 42b. The reduced diameter part 62a from which is protruded is formed.

可動鉄心36が固定鉄心56側に移動すると、可動鉄心36の端が固定鉄心56の端に突き当たる前に、まず、パイロット弁体54がパイロット弁座50から離間し、その後、係合部材62の縮径部62aが主弁体42の本体部42aに係合して、主弁体42を主弁座32から離間するように構成されている。可動鉄心36に対する主弁体42の相対移動は、主弁体42の本体部42aが突き当たる可動鉄心36の縮径部62aと、パイロット弁座50に着座するパイロット弁体54との間で規制されるように構成されている。   When the movable iron core 36 moves to the fixed iron core 56 side, the pilot valve body 54 is first separated from the pilot valve seat 50 before the end of the movable iron core 36 abuts against the end of the fixed iron core 56. The reduced diameter portion 62 a is configured to be engaged with the main body portion 42 a of the main valve body 42 to separate the main valve body 42 from the main valve seat 32. The relative movement of the main valve body 42 with respect to the movable iron core 36 is restricted between the reduced diameter portion 62a of the movable iron core 36 against which the main body 42a of the main valve body 42 abuts and the pilot valve body 54 seated on the pilot valve seat 50. It is comprised so that.

可動鉄心36の外周には、軸方向に沿って溝64が形成されており、溝64と収納孔38とを連通する接続孔66が可動鉄心36に形成されている。接続孔66は収納孔38の小径部40側端に形成されて、主弁体42の摺動により閉塞されない位置に設けられている。更に、溝64と小径部40とを連通する連通孔68が可動鉄心36に形成されている。尚、本実施形態では、パイロット流路孔44、装着孔46、連通孔48により、パイロット流路を構成している。   A groove 64 is formed along the axial direction on the outer periphery of the movable iron core 36, and a connection hole 66 that connects the groove 64 and the storage hole 38 is formed in the movable iron core 36. The connection hole 66 is formed at the end of the storage hole 38 on the small diameter portion 40 side, and is provided at a position that is not blocked by the sliding of the main valve body 42. Further, a communication hole 68 for communicating the groove 64 and the small diameter portion 40 is formed in the movable iron core 36. In this embodiment, the pilot flow path is constituted by the pilot flow path hole 44, the mounting hole 46, and the communication hole 48.

本体部材10の大径部10bの外周には大径孔6に挿入されてコイル70を巻き回したコイルボビン71が外装されており、コイルボビン71の両側端には磁性材料により形成された環状のヨーク72,74がそれぞれ配置されている。そして、コイルボビン71を磁性材料により形成された円筒状のヨーク75に収装し、ヨーク75の両側端に環状のヨーク72,74をそれぞれ圧入固定して一体的に設け、大径孔6の開口側のヨーク74は固定鉄心56に圧入固定されている。大径孔6は蓋部材76により閉塞されており、蓋部材76は図示しないボルトにより弁ケース1に固定されている。   A coil bobbin 71 is wound around the outer periphery of the large-diameter portion 10b of the main body member 10 and wound around the coil 70 by being inserted into the large-diameter hole 6, and annular yokes formed of a magnetic material are formed on both ends of the coil bobbin 71. 72 and 74 are arranged, respectively. Then, the coil bobbin 71 is accommodated in a cylindrical yoke 75 formed of a magnetic material, and annular yokes 72 and 74 are respectively press-fitted and fixed integrally on both side ends of the yoke 75, and the large-diameter hole 6 is opened. The side yoke 74 is press-fitted and fixed to the fixed iron core 56. The large-diameter hole 6 is closed by a lid member 76, and the lid member 76 is fixed to the valve case 1 by a bolt (not shown).

本実施形態では、コイル70に通電することにより、ヨーク72、可動鉄心36、固定鉄心56、ヨーク74、ヨーク75で磁気回路が形成されるが、可動鉄心36の端が固定鉄心56の端に突き当たった状態でも、可動鉄心36の他方の端がヨーク72よりも僅かに突き出るように構成されている。   In this embodiment, a magnetic circuit is formed by the yoke 72, the movable iron core 36, the fixed iron core 56, the yoke 74, and the yoke 75 by energizing the coil 70, but the end of the movable iron core 36 is the end of the fixed iron core 56. Even in the abutted state, the other end of the movable iron core 36 is configured to slightly protrude from the yoke 72.

次に、前述した本実施形態の電磁パイロット開閉弁の作動について説明する。
弁ケース1の大流入孔8に流体としての高圧水素ガスが図示しないガスタンクから供給されると、弁ケース1の大流入孔8、挿入孔4、本体部材10の流入孔28を介して、本体部材10の摺動孔26に高圧水素ガスが導入される。高圧水素ガスの圧力は、可動鉄心36に作用するが、可動鉄心36の溝64を介して可動鉄心36と固定鉄心56との間にも導入されるので、付勢部材58の付勢力と高圧水素ガスの圧力との作用により、可動鉄心36に固定されたパイロット弁体54に主弁体42が押されて、主弁体42は主弁座32に着座され、図2に示すように、閉弁状態を維持する。
Next, the operation of the above-described electromagnetic pilot on / off valve of this embodiment will be described.
When high-pressure hydrogen gas as a fluid is supplied to the large inflow hole 8 of the valve case 1 from a gas tank (not shown), the main body passes through the large inflow hole 8 of the valve case 1, the insertion hole 4, and the inflow hole 28 of the main body member 10. High-pressure hydrogen gas is introduced into the sliding hole 26 of the member 10. The pressure of the high-pressure hydrogen gas acts on the movable iron core 36, but is also introduced between the movable iron core 36 and the fixed iron core 56 via the groove 64 of the movable iron core 36. Due to the action of the pressure of the hydrogen gas, the main valve body 42 is pushed by the pilot valve body 54 fixed to the movable iron core 36, and the main valve body 42 is seated on the main valve seat 32, as shown in FIG. Keep the valve closed.

コイル70に通電されると、可動鉄心36が固定鉄心56に吸引され、まず、付勢部材58の付勢力及びパイロット弁体54にパイロット弁座50への着座方向に作用する高圧水素ガスの圧力による作用力に抗して、パイロット弁体54と共に可動鉄心36が固定鉄心56側に摺動する。これにより、パイロット弁体54がパイロット弁座50から離間して、高圧水素ガスが、弁ケース1の大流入孔8、挿入孔4、本体部材10の流入孔28、摺動孔26、可動鉄心36の溝64、接続孔66、収納孔38、パイロット弁座部材52の連通孔48、主弁体42のパイロット流路孔44を介して、主弁座部材34の連通孔30、本体部材10の流出孔22に流入し、連通孔30、流出孔22の圧力が上昇する。これにより、主弁座32の上下流の流入孔28と流出孔22との差圧が小さくなり、高圧水素ガスの圧力による主弁体42への作用力が小さくなる。   When the coil 70 is energized, the movable iron core 36 is attracted to the fixed iron core 56. First, the urging force of the urging member 58 and the pressure of the high-pressure hydrogen gas acting on the pilot valve body 54 in the seating direction on the pilot valve seat 50. The movable iron core 36 slides with the pilot valve body 54 toward the fixed iron core 56 against the acting force due to the above. As a result, the pilot valve body 54 is separated from the pilot valve seat 50, and the high-pressure hydrogen gas flows into the large inflow hole 8, the insertion hole 4, the inflow hole 28 in the main body member 10, the sliding hole 26, and the movable iron core. 36, the connection hole 66, the storage hole 38, the communication hole 48 of the pilot valve seat member 52, the pilot flow hole 44 of the main valve body 42, the communication hole 30 of the main valve seat member 34, and the main body member 10. The pressure in the communication hole 30 and the outflow hole 22 rises. Thereby, the differential pressure between the inlet hole 28 and the outlet hole 22 upstream and downstream of the main valve seat 32 is reduced, and the acting force on the main valve body 42 due to the pressure of the high-pressure hydrogen gas is reduced.

図3に示すように、パイロット弁体54がパイロット弁座50から離間した後、更に、可動鉄心36が固定鉄心56側に摺動し、係合部材62の縮径部62aが主弁体42の本体部42aに突き当たって、主弁体42を可動鉄心36と共に移動させて、主弁体42を主弁座32から離間させて開弁する。これにより、弁ケース1の大流入孔8が、本体部材10の流入孔28、摺動孔26、主弁座部材34の連通孔30、本体部材10の流出孔22を介して、弁ケース1の大流出孔2に連通されて、高圧水素ガスが大流入孔8から大流出孔2に供給される。その際、可動鉄心36の連通孔68により可動鉄心36の小径部40が閉鎖空間になるのを防止している。   As shown in FIG. 3, after the pilot valve body 54 is separated from the pilot valve seat 50, the movable iron core 36 further slides toward the fixed iron core 56, and the reduced diameter portion 62 a of the engagement member 62 is the main valve body 42. The main valve body 42 is moved together with the movable iron core 36, and the main valve body 42 is separated from the main valve seat 32 and opened. Accordingly, the large inflow hole 8 of the valve case 1 is connected to the valve case 1 via the inflow hole 28 of the main body member 10, the sliding hole 26, the communication hole 30 of the main valve seat member 34, and the outflow hole 22 of the main body member 10. The high-pressure hydrogen gas is supplied from the large inflow hole 8 to the large outflow hole 2. At that time, the communication hole 68 of the movable iron core 36 prevents the small diameter portion 40 of the movable iron core 36 from becoming a closed space.

コイル70への通電を遮断すると、パイロット弁体54が付勢部材58の付勢力により押されて、パイロット弁体54がパイロット弁座50を介して主弁体42を押す。これにより、可動鉄心36と共に主弁体42が押されて、主弁体42が主弁座32に着座して閉弁される。   When the power supply to the coil 70 is cut off, the pilot valve body 54 is pushed by the urging force of the urging member 58, and the pilot valve body 54 pushes the main valve body 42 via the pilot valve seat 50. Thereby, the main valve body 42 is pushed together with the movable iron core 36, and the main valve body 42 is seated on the main valve seat 32 and closed.

コイル70に通電した際、ヨーク72、可動鉄心36、固定鉄心56、ヨーク74、ヨーク75で磁気回路が形成される。可動鉄心36の先端が一方のヨーク72よりも固定鉄心56側に引っ込んだ状態になると、磁気力が低下してしまうが、開閉弁時に可動鉄心36が収納孔38内を移動しても、可動鉄心36は一方のヨーク72から突き出た状態にあるので、磁気力の低下を招くことがない。   When the coil 70 is energized, a magnetic circuit is formed by the yoke 72, the movable iron core 36, the fixed iron core 56, the yoke 74, and the yoke 75. When the tip of the movable iron core 36 is retracted to the fixed iron core 56 side with respect to one yoke 72, the magnetic force is reduced. However, even if the movable iron core 36 moves in the storage hole 38 during the opening / closing valve, the movable iron core 36 is movable. Since the iron core 36 protrudes from one yoke 72, the magnetic force does not decrease.

このように、可動鉄心36に形成した収納孔38に主弁体42を摺動可能に挿入し、主弁体42を可動鉄心36内に収納したので、軸方向の長さを低減できて小型化できる。
また、可動鉄心36を円筒状に、収納孔38を可動鉄心36と同軸の円柱状の空間とし、主弁体42を可動鉄心36の収納孔38に収納しても、主弁体42は可動鉄心36のほぼ中心にあり、可動鉄心36の収納孔38周辺部分に磁気回路として機能する領域を確保できるので、可動鉄心36と主弁体42との間の相対的な移動に対して磁気回路が与える影響が小さく、主弁体42を可動鉄心36の収納孔38に収納しても、開閉弁への影響は小さい。
As described above, since the main valve body 42 is slidably inserted into the storage hole 38 formed in the movable iron core 36 and the main valve body 42 is stored in the movable iron core 36, the axial length can be reduced and the size can be reduced. Can be
Even if the movable iron core 36 is cylindrical and the storage hole 38 is a cylindrical space coaxial with the movable iron core 36, and the main valve body 42 is stored in the storage hole 38 of the movable core 36, the main valve body 42 is movable. Since an area functioning as a magnetic circuit can be secured in the vicinity of the housing hole 38 of the movable iron core 36 at the center of the iron core 36, the magnetic circuit against the relative movement between the movable iron core 36 and the main valve element 42. Even if the main valve body 42 is housed in the housing hole 38 of the movable iron core 36, the influence on the on-off valve is small.

更に、パイロット弁体54を球状に形成して収納孔38の小径部40に圧入固定し、主弁体42をパイロット弁体54が圧入固定された収納孔38に収納することにより、組立が容易になる。また、主弁体42が収納孔38に摺接する本体部42aと、本体部42aより小径に形成され収納孔38から突出した状態で配置される小径部42bとを有し、小径部42bが突出する収納孔38の開口近傍に本体部42aの外径よりも小さい縮径部62aを形成し、可動鉄心36に対する主弁体42の軸方向への相対移動を縮径部62aとパイロット弁体54との間で規制することにより、可動鉄心36の移動で、主弁体42を確実に移動できる。   Further, the pilot valve body 54 is formed in a spherical shape and is press-fitted and fixed to the small-diameter portion 40 of the storage hole 38, and the main valve body 42 is stored in the storage hole 38 in which the pilot valve body 54 is press-fitted and fixed. become. Further, the main valve body 42 has a main body portion 42a that is in sliding contact with the storage hole 38, and a small diameter portion 42b that is formed with a smaller diameter than the main body portion 42a and protrudes from the storage hole 38, and the small diameter portion 42b protrudes. A reduced diameter portion 62a smaller than the outer diameter of the main body portion 42a is formed in the vicinity of the opening of the storage hole 38, and the relative movement in the axial direction of the main valve body 42 with respect to the movable iron core 36 is reduced. The main valve body 42 can be reliably moved by the movement of the movable iron core 36.
