  The solenoid valve assembly includes a movable iron core that can move in both axial directions, a coil that generates a magnetic force that attracts the movable iron core in one axial direction, and a fixed iron core that forms a magnetic circuit together with the movable iron core. . The fixed iron core has a cylindrical portion that covers the outer peripheral surface of the movable iron core and a suction portion that sucks the movable iron core.

  Various configurations of such a solenoid valve assembly have been proposed, and as one of them, for example, JP 2007-182938 A (Patent Document 1) proposes a solenoid valve assembly having the following configuration. Yes.

  That is, the electromagnetic valve assembly includes a cup-shaped guide member formed of a non-magnetic material, a movable iron core of a magnetic material provided in the guide member so as to be slidable in the axial direction, and an outer peripheral side of the guide member. And a coil that generates a magnetic force when energized and a fixed iron core that forms a magnetic path together with the movable iron core and attracts the movable iron core in the axial direction when the magnetic force is generated in the coil. .

  However, in the electromagnetic valve assembly described in Patent Document 1, the magnetic force reinforcing member that forms the magnetic circuit is composed of a small diameter cylindrical portion and a large diameter cylindrical portion, as shown in FIG. The large-diameter cylindrical portion is disposed between the valve body and the flange of the cup-shaped member, and the outer yoke is integrated with the valve body by caulking from the outer peripheral side. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately manage the dimensional accuracy and assembly accuracy of the three axial lengths of the valve body, the flange of the cup-shaped member, and the large-diameter cylindrical portion. There was a problem that extra time and cost were required for assembly. For this reason, it is requested | required that the extra time and cost concerning manufacture of a magnetic reinforcement member or assembly | attachment of a magnetic reinforcement member may be suppressed.

  Furthermore, when assembling and integrating the electromagnetic drive unit including the magnetic force reinforcing member and the valve mechanism unit, the electromagnetic drive unit is generally placed on the lower assembly and the valve mechanism unit is assembled from the upper side. ing. Therefore, since the magnetic force reinforcing member is only disposed opposite to the axial front end surface of the movable iron core, it is necessary to assemble the magnetic force reinforcing member while holding it in a predetermined position. Since it is necessary to assemble while holding so as not to drop off, there is a problem that the assembly of the solenoid valve assembly cannot be easily performed. For this reason, establishment of the assembly method of the solenoid valve assembly which can assemble a solenoid valve assembly easily is requested | required.

  Another feature of the present invention is that, after the spool is stored in the spool storage chamber of the valve body, the hollow magnetic reinforcing member having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spool is opposed to the movable iron core of the electromagnetic drive unit of the spool storage chamber. In this state, the end surface of the valve body on the magnetic force reinforcing member side is integrated with the electromagnetic drive unit.

  According to the feature of the present invention, the magnetic force reinforcing member is fixed between the valve body and the electromagnetic driving unit by fixing the magnetic force reinforcing member to the inner peripheral surface of the spool housing chamber on the side facing the movable iron core. Since it does not intervene in the portion, it is possible to suppress extra time and cost for manufacturing a magnetic reinforcing member that reinforces the magnetic force of the attracting portion that attracts the movable iron core in the axial direction and for assembling the magnetic reinforcing member.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications and application examples are included in the technical concept of the present invention. Is also included in the range.

  Hereinafter, typical embodiments of a solenoid valve assembly according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, the present invention is applied to a hydraulic variable valve operating device (hereinafter referred to as a valve timing control device) of an internal combustion engine.

  First, a hydraulic valve timing control device to which the electromagnetic valve assembly according to the present invention is applied will be described.

Projected to A space between the inner peripheral surface of the housing 6 and each vane 7b and between the annular base portion 7a and each shoe 6b is liquid-tightly sealed with a predetermined sealing member.

  With this configuration, the retard oil chamber Pr and the advance oil chamber Pa, which are a pair of hydraulic oil chambers separated by the vanes 7b, are formed between the housing 6 and the vane rotor 7, and the pair of both chambers. In Pr and Pa, the rotation phase of the vane rotor 7 is controlled by supplying the hydraulic oil to one chamber and discharging the hydraulic oil in the other chamber. The number of the plurality of vanes 7b and the plurality of shoes 6b corresponding to the plurality of vanes 7b is not limited to four, and can be arbitrarily set according to the specifications of the internal combustion engine.

  The wide vanes of the vanes 7b accommodate lockable pins 7c that are urged so as to protrude in a direction perpendicular to the axis with respect to the vane rotor 7 by an urging member (not shown). When the vane rotor 7 moves to the most retarded angle side, the lock pin 7c engages with a pin engagement hole (not shown) that is opposed to the vane rotor 7, so that the most retarded angle state is maintained particularly when the engine is stopped. . As a result, it is possible to contribute to the stabilization of the engine at the time of starting the engine or idling.

  The hydraulic supply / discharge means 4 is a pump 8 which is a hydraulic supply source for pumping hydraulic oil stored in the oil pan 9 and the hydraulic oil pumped by the pump 8 according to a control signal from the electronic control unit 5.

  The vane rotor 7 is rotated forward and backward with respect to the housing 6 by supplying and discharging the hydraulic oil in the retarded oil chamber Pr or the advanced oil chamber Pa via the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV. The rotational phase of the camshaft 2 is changed.

  The oil passage L communicates a retard port P1 (described later) of the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV with a retard oil chamber Pr, and a retard passage L1 that supplies and discharges hydraulic oil to and from the retard oil chamber Pr. In addition, an advance port P2 (described later) of the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV and an advance oil chamber Pa communicate with each other, and an advance passage L2 for supplying and discharging hydraulic oil to and from the advance oil chamber Pa is provided.

  Further, the suction passage L0 that communicates the oil pan 9 and the suction port of the pump 8, the introduction port P3 (described later) of the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV, and the discharge port of the pump 8 communicate with each other and are discharged by the pump 8. The hydraulic oil discharged from the discharge port P4 is communicated with the introduction passage L3 for guiding the discharged hydraulic oil to the phase conversion mechanism 3 side, and a discharge port P4 and an oil pan 9 described later in the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV. A drain passage L 4 that recirculates to 9 is provided.

  In this way, the oil passage L is divided into two systems and is switched by the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV is a so-called slide spool type four-port three-position electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism. An electromagnetic drive unit 11 that drives a spool 25 described later with an electromagnetic force generated based on a control current from the electronic control unit 5, and each port P1 provided in a valve body 24 described later according to the axial position of the spool 25 To a valve mechanism 23 constituting a valve (valve) for switching the communication state of P4.

  Such an electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV is connected to the side of the internal combustion engine 10 by a bolt 60 via a stay 14c provided by extending the flange portion 14a of the first fixed iron core 14 constituting the electromagnetic drive unit 11. It is fixed.

  Next, a solenoid valve assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. This electromagnetic valve assembly is used in an electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 2, the electromagnetic drive unit 11 includes an outer yoke 12 formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by a magnetic material, a coil 13 accommodated and disposed on the inner peripheral side of the outer yoke 12, and flange portions provided at one end thereof. The magnetic body is fixed to each end of the outer yoke 12 via 14b and 15b, and the cylindrical portions 14a and 15a on the other end are accommodated on the inner peripheral side of the coil 13 and arranged to face each other. The first fixed iron core 14 and the second fixed iron core 15 are provided.

  In this embodiment, the outer yoke 12, the first fixed iron core 14, and the second fixed iron core 15 are made of a plated steel plate and are formed into a predetermined shape by pressing. Further, the outer yoke 12 and the second fixed iron core 15 or the outer yoke 12 and the first fixed iron core 14 can be integrally formed.

  Further, an armature 17 that is a movable iron core made of a magnetic material slidably accommodated in an inner peripheral portion of a cup guide 16 arranged on the inner peripheral side of the first fixed iron core 14 and the second fixed iron core 15; A cylindrical magnetic force reinforcing member 18 located on the inner peripheral side of the first fixed iron core 14 and disposed so as to face the sliding direction of the armature 17, and accommodated on the inner peripheral side of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18, One end surface is in contact with the other end surface of the spool 25, and the other end surface is provided with a rod 19 made of a nonmagnetic material provided so as to be in contact with one end surface of the armature 17.

  The outer yoke 12 is configured so as to surround the outer periphery of the coil 13 with a magnetic metal material such as iron, for example, and constitutes the valve mechanism portion 23 via a claw portion 12a provided at one end portion in the axial direction. The valve body 24 is fixed by caulking to a flange portion 24 a provided at one end of the valve body 24.

  On the other hand, it is fixed by crimping to a flange portion 15 b provided at one end portion of the second fixed iron core 15 via a claw portion 12 b provided at the other end portion of the outer yoke 12.

  The coil 13 is wound around the outer periphery of a bobbin 20 formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by a resin material, and is connected to a resin connector 21 fixed to the other end of the outer yoke 12 and a harness (not shown) connected thereto. Are connected to the electronic control unit 5.

  When the electronic control unit 5 is energized, a magnetic path is formed by the outer yoke 12 and the first fixed iron core 14, the second fixed iron core 15, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 and the armature 17. A magnetic attractive force is generated between the fixed iron core 14, the second fixed iron core 15, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 and the armature 17. Details of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 will be described later in detail.

  Here, the electronic control unit 5 detects the engine operating state based on signals from various sensors such as a crank angle sensor that detects the rotational speed of the engine and an air flow meter that detects the intake air amount. Accordingly, the oil passage L is switched as will be described later by supplying a control current to the coil 13 of the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV or cutting it off.

  The first fixed iron core 14 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by a magnetic metal material such as iron, for example, and an enlarged flange portion 14b is integrated with a rear end portion of the cylindrical portion 14a extending along the axial direction. Is provided. The cylindrical portion 14a is coaxially accommodated and arranged on the inner periphery of one end side of the coil 13 (bobbin 20) so that the second fixed iron core 15 and the armature 16 face each other, and the flange portion 14b is disposed on the bobbin 20 and the valve body 24. And is magnetically coupled to the peripheral wall of the outer yoke 12.

  Further, a conical tapered portion 14d is provided on the outer periphery of the distal end portion of the tubular portion 14a. When the coil 13 is energized by the tapered portion 14d, the first fixed iron core is generated by the magnetic attractive force generated by the energization. The armature 17 is attracted to 14 so that the change of the magnetic attraction force accompanying the movement of the armature 17 is suppressed, and the characteristic that makes this magnetic attraction force constant is maintained.

  On the other hand, the second fixed iron core 15 is also formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by a magnetic metal material such as iron, for example, and an enlarged-diameter flange portion 15b is provided at the rear end portion of the cylindrical portion 15a extending in the axial direction. It is provided integrally. The cylindrical portion 15a is formed so as to be integrated with the coil 13 so as to be accommodated substantially coaxially on the inner periphery of the other end side of the coil 13 (bobbin 20) in a form facing the first fixed iron core 14, and the flange portion 15 b is fixed in a co-tightened state and is magnetically coupled to the peripheral wall of the outer yoke 12.

  The cup guide 16 is formed in a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameters of the first and second fixed iron cores 14 and 15, for example, by a nonmagnetic material such as a thin nonmagnetic stainless plate. A flange portion 16a is formed on the end surface portion where the bottom portion is not formed, and is arranged so as to contact the flange portion 14b on the end surface where the cylindrical portion 14a of the first fixed iron core 14 is not formed. A well-known O-ring 22 is interposed between the end face of the valve body 24 in the axial direction, so that each is hermetically sealed, and leakage of hydraulic oil to the outside is suppressed.

  The armature 17 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cup guide 16 by a magnetic metal material such as iron. And by arrange | positioning substantially coaxially at the inner periphery of the cylindrical part 14a of the 1st fixed iron core 14, and the cylindrical part 15a of the 2nd fixed iron core 15, this 1st fixed iron core 14 via the cup guide 16, An air gap (side gap) that is a minute radial gap is formed between the second fixed iron core 15 and the second fixed iron core 15.

  In addition, a so-called breathing hole 17 a set to a predetermined inner diameter is formed through the inner peripheral portion of the armature 17 along the axial direction of the armature 17. The axial movement of the armature 17 in the hydraulic oil is ensured by letting the hydraulic oil filled in a main gap, which will be described later, to the second fixed iron core 15 side by the breathing hole 17a.

  With such a configuration, the armature 17 is movable relative to the second fixed core 15 so as to be guided by the peripheral wall on the inner peripheral side of the second fixed core 15. When the coil 13 is energized, it is attracted to the first fixed iron core 14 side by the magnetic flux formed in the first fixed iron core 14 and the magnetic force reinforcing member 18, so that one end of the coil 13 is interposed via a flange portion 19 a of the rod 19 described later. Thus, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 moves in the axial direction within a range until it contacts the inner surface of the end 18a.

  The magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape with a magnetic material such as iron, and one end of the outer peripheral portion is press-fitted and fixed in the press-fitting hole 24 b of the valve body 24. In this case, the end face on the armature 17 side of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 extends beyond the flange portion 16 a of the cup guide 16 to the inside of the cup guide 16. Therefore, as in Patent Document 1, the magnetic force reinforcing member is configured not to intervene in the fixed portion between the electromagnetic drive unit and the valve mechanism unit.

  In the present embodiment, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is made of a plated steel plate and is formed into a predetermined shape by pressing. Further, the inner peripheral portion of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is set to a predetermined inner diameter that is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the land portions 31 and 32 formed at both ends of the spool 25. This prevents the spool 25 from coming out of the valve body 24 in the assembly process.

  Further, the end 18 a different from the press-fit end is formed with a so-called air gap (main gap) between the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 and the armature 17 when the coil 13 is not energized, and is generated when the coil 13 is energized. The armature 17 is attracted to the first fixed iron core 14 and the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 by the magnetic attraction force. Further, the maximum movement amount of the armature 17 is regulated by the end portion 18a.

  The rod 19 is disposed between the spool 25 and the armature 17 and is formed of a nonmagnetic material such as a resin material. A flange portion 19a is formed at the end portion on the armature 17 side, and the end portion on the spool 25 side is formed in a cylindrical shape having cutout portions 19b that communicate with the inner peripheral portion in the radial direction at equal intervals. Is.

  The rod 19 is housed and arranged so as to be relatively movable on the inner peripheral side of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18. The rod 19 is press-fitted and fixed in the first housing hole 25 a provided in the land 32 on the end surface of the spool 25, and the return The armature 17 is always biased toward the armature 17 side by the pressing force from the spool 25 side based on the biasing force of the spring 26.

  The end surface on the flange portion 19a side always abuts against the opposing end surface of the armature 17, so that the rod 19 moves together with the armature 17 and the spool 25. Further, on the outer periphery of the rod 19, communication holes 19 c extending in the radial direction are provided in the vicinity of the flange portion 19 a at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the communication holes 19 c are connected to an internal passage formed in the rod 19. In addition, an oil passage through which hydraulic fluid flows is formed between the communication hole 19c and the inner peripheral surface of the first fixed iron core 14.

  Accordingly, when the rod 19 moves in the axial direction, the hydraulic oil in the inner peripheral portion of the first fixed iron core 14 is discharged to the discharge passage 25b of the spool 25 through the internal passage, thereby ensuring the movement of the rod 19 in the axial direction. Has been.

  Further, the flange portion 19a abuts on the end portion 18a of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 so as to function as a stopper for restricting the maximum movement amount when the rod 19 moves forward. Further, the flange 19a is brought into contact with one end opening edge of the breathing hole 17a of the armature 17, so that the connectivity between the breathing hole 17a and the internal passage of the rod 19 is improved. Further, the notch 19 b of the rod 19 discharges the hydraulic oil flowing in from the retard port P 1 shown in FIG. 2 to the discharge passage 25 b of the spool 25 through the internal passage of the rod 19.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the valve mechanism portion 23 has a valve body 24 having ports P1 to P4 connected to the passages L1 to L4, and is slidably accommodated in the valve body 24. And a spool 25 for switching the communication state of the ports P1 to P4. Hereinafter, the configuration of the valve mechanism 23 will be described.

  The valve body 24 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by a nonmagnetic metal material such as aluminum, for example, and a claw portion of the outer yoke 12 is provided through a flange portion 24a having an enlarged diameter at one end portion on the electromagnetic drive portion 11 side. 12a is fastened together with one end of the bobbin 20 together with the flange portion 14b of the first fixed iron core 14. As described above, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is not interposed between the flange portion 24a and the flange portion 14b of the first fixed iron core 14 as in Patent Document 1, and the flange portion 24a and the first fixed iron core 14 are not provided. The flange portion 14b directly abuts and is fastened and fixed to one end portion of the bobbin 20 together.

  A press-fitting hole 24b is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the flange portion 24a of the valve body 24 so that the outer periphery of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is press-fitted and fixed. Therefore, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 24b and is configured as shown in FIG. Further, a spool 25 is slidably accommodated on the inner peripheral side of the valve body 24, and a spool accommodating chamber 24c set to a predetermined inner diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the press-fitting hole 24b is provided along the axial direction. Yes.

  Further, on the peripheral wall of the spool accommodating chamber 24c, as shown in FIG. 2, a retard port P1 connected to the retard passage L1, an advance port P2 connected to the advance passage L2, and an introduction port P3 connected to the introduction passage L3. However, each of the other end walls is formed with a discharge port P4 connected to the drain passage L4 along the axial direction so as to penetrate therethrough along the circumferential direction. Two retardation ports P1, an advance port P2, and an introduction port P3 are provided so as to oppose each other in the circumferential direction.

  The spool housing chamber 24c is configured to be in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of each land portion 31, 32 by setting the inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of each land portion 31, 32 of the spool 25. A drain chamber 27 communicating with the discharge port P4 is formed at one end. The drain chamber 27 is formed in a stepped manner with respect to the inner diameter of the spool housing chamber 24c, and a return spring 26, which is a coil spring that constantly biases the spool 25 toward the electromagnetic drive unit 11, is housed and disposed. Yes.

  One end of the return spring 26 is seated on the wall surface of the drain chamber 27, while the return spring 26 is seated in the second receiving hole 25 c provided in the land 31 of the spool 25, and is elastic between the valve body 24 and the spool 25. It is disguised.

  The retard port P1 is provided on one end side of the valve body 24 so as to face the spool accommodating chamber 24c, and is configured to be opened and closed by the second land portion 32 of the spool 25. On the other hand, the advance port P2 is provided on the other end side of the valve body 24 so as to face the spool housing chamber 24c, and is configured to be opened and closed by the first land portion 31 of the spool 25.

  Further, the introduction port P3 is located between the retard port P1 and the advance port P2 and in an axial position that is not blocked by any of the land portions 31 and 32 of the spool 25, as described later in the spool housing chamber 24c. It is provided so as to face the introduction chamber 28 formed between the first and second land portions 31 and 32.

  The spool 25 is formed with a stepped diameter at a position that always faces the introduction port P3 in the moving range, and a small diameter portion 30 that is set to a predetermined outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the valve body 24. The first land portion 31 and the second land portion 31 are provided on both sides in the axial direction of the small diameter portion 30 so as to face the retard port P1 and the advance port P2 and have an outer diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the valve body 24. The land portion 32, a discharge passage 25b formed through the inner periphery of the spool 25, and a first receiving hole 25a and a second hole formed at both ends with a predetermined inner diameter and depth slightly larger than the discharge passage 25b. A receiving hole 25c. An introduction chamber 28 for introducing hydraulic oil into each port is formed between the lands 31 and 32 of the spool 25.

  The first and second land portions 31 and 32 have predetermined axial widths that are larger than the axial widths of the corresponding ports P1 and P2, respectively, and the axial widths of the ports P1 and P2 and the ports 31 and 32 are the same. In addition to being able to open both ports P1 and P2 simultaneously, both ports P1 and P2 can be simultaneously closed.

  The discharge passage 25b is formed penetrating along the radial direction of the spool 25, and the hydraulic oil discharged from the retarded oil chamber Pr shown in FIG. 1 is passed to the one end side of the valve body 24 through the rod 19 and the discharge passage 25b. It leads to the provided discharge port P4. Thus, both ends of the spool 25 are configured to be able to communicate with each other via the discharge passage 25b, and the discharge port P4 is provided only on the other end of the valve body 24. As a result, the axial length of the valve body 24 can be shortened compared to the case where the discharge ports P4 are provided on both ends of the valve body 24, which contributes to the miniaturization of the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV.

  The first accommodation hole 25a and the second accommodation hole 25c provided in the spool 25 are set to have the same inner diameter and depth, and the first and second land portions 31 and 32 described above have the same axial width. Therefore, when the spool 25 is disposed in the spool accommodating chamber 24c on the opposite side in the axial direction, that is, when the retard port P1 is switched by the first land portion 31 and the advance port P2 is switched by the second land portion 32. However, the same switching characteristics can be obtained. In other words, assembly is possible without managing the axial direction of the spool 25 during assembly.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV according to this embodiment will be briefly described. First, the electromagnetic hydraulic pressure switching mechanism EV is such that only the urging force of the return spring 26 acts on the spool 25 when no control current is applied to the coil 13 from the electronic control unit 5 such as when the engine is started or when the engine is idling. The spool 25 is in the most retracted state by pushing the armature 17 to the right side in the drawing through the rod 19.

  In such a state, both the land portions 31 and 32 are also biased to the right side with respect to both the ports P1 and P2, and the retard port P1 communicates with the introduction port P3 through the introduction chamber 28, while the advance port The corner port P2 is in direct communication with the discharge port P4. As a result, in the phase conversion mechanism 3, the hydraulic oil is supplied to the retard oil chamber Pr and the hydraulic oil in the advance oil chamber Pa is discharged, so that the relative rotation phase of the camshaft 2 is the most retarded. This contributes to good engine startability, engine stability during idle operation, and improved fuel efficiency.

  Subsequently, for example, when the operation shifts to the normal operation and is held in a predetermined operation state, a predetermined control current for holding the spool 25 at the intermediate position is supplied to the coil 13, and a magnetic field is generated around the coil 13. The armature 17 is moved to the first fixed iron core 14 side based on the magnetic flux generated in the outer yoke 12 and the first fixed iron core 14, the second fixed iron core 15, and the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 provided around the coil 13. Will be sucked.

  That is, the armature 17 pushes the spool 25 to the left side in the drawing through the rod 19 and moves the spool 25 against the urging force of the return spring 26, so that the spool 25 has advanced to the intermediate position. . In such a state, the retard port P <b> 1 is blocked by the second land portion 32, and the advance port P <b> 2 is blocked by the first land portion 31. As a result, in the phase conversion mechanism 3, the hydraulic pressures in both the retarded oil chamber Pr and the advanced oil chamber Pa are maintained, which contributes to reduction of wasteful energy consumption of the pump 8 and the like, for example.

  Further, for example, when shifting to a high rotation operation state, the maximum control current is supplied to the coil 13 and the attraction force is maximized. Therefore, the armature 17, the rod 19 and the spool 25 are biased by the return spring 26. It will be in the most advanced state by advancing further to the left against this.

  In this state, the land portions 31 and 32 are maximally biased to the left with respect to both ports P1 and P2, and the retard port P1 is discharged through the drain chamber 27, the discharge passage 25b, and the notch portion 19b. While communicating with the port P4, the advance port P2 communicates with the introduction port P3 via the introduction chamber 28. Thereby, in the phase conversion mechanism 3, the hydraulic oil in the retard oil chamber Pr is discharged and the hydraulic oil is supplied to the advance oil chamber Pa, so that the relative rotational phase of the camshaft 2 is the most advanced angle. It contributes to higher engine output.

  Next, details of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows an enlarged cross section of the vicinity of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 of the electromagnetic valve assembly shown in FIG.

  As described above, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is press-fitted and fixed in the press-fitting hole 24 b formed in the flange portion 24 a of the valve body 24. In addition, it is also possible to fix the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 and the flange portion 24 of the valve body 24 by a fixing method such as welding or adhesion without press-fitting. However, in the present embodiment, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is made of a magnetic material such as iron, and the valve body 24 is made of a nonmagnetic metal material such as aluminum.

  When a control current is supplied to the coil 13, the first yoke 14 enters the taper portion 14d of the first fixed iron core 14 without passing through the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 from the outer yoke 12, the second fixed iron core 15, and the armature 17, as shown in FIG. 1 magnetic circuit Mg1 is formed. In addition to the first magnetic circuit Mg1, a second magnetic circuit Mg2 that enters the first fixed iron core 14 from the outer yoke 12, the second fixed iron core 15, and the armature 17 via the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is also formed. The The second magnetic circuit Mg2 generates an attractive force between the end face of the armature 17 and the opposing face of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18. For this reason, the attractive force further increases as compared with the case where only the first magnetic circuit Mg1 is formed.

  As in Patent Document 1, the magnetic force reinforcing member is composed of a small diameter cylindrical portion and a large diameter cylindrical portion, the large diameter cylindrical portion is disposed between the valve body and the flange of the cup-shaped member, and the outer yoke is disposed from the outer peripheral side. If the valve body is integrated by caulking, it is necessary to accurately manage the dimensional accuracy and assembly accuracy of the three lengths in the axial direction of the valve body, the flange of the cup-shaped member, and the large-diameter cylindrical portion. There existed a subject that extra time and cost were needed regarding manufacture of a magnetic reinforcement member, and assembly | attachment of a magnetic reinforcement member.

  In contrast, in this embodiment, one end of the outer peripheral portion of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is press-fitted and fixed in the press-fitting hole 24b of the valve body 24. The end face on the armature 17 side of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 extends beyond the flange portion 16 a of the cup guide 16 to the inside of the cup guide 16. Therefore, as in Patent Document 1, the magnetic force reinforcing member is configured not to intervene in the fixed portion between the electromagnetic drive unit and the valve mechanism unit. As a result, it is not necessary to manage the dimensional accuracy and assembly accuracy of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 so strictly, and it is possible to suppress unnecessary time and cost for manufacturing the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 and assembling the magnetic force reinforcing member 18. Is.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the shapes of the first fixed iron core 14 and the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 for attracting the armature 17 are simplified, and can be manufactured only by pressing using a plated steel plate. Machines after plastic processing such as pressing Processing and plating treatment after machining for the purpose of rust prevention are unnecessary, and productivity can be improved.

  Here, the magnetic pole reinforcing member 18 is press-fitted into a press-fitting hole 24 b formed in the flange portion 24 a of the valve body 24, but its length Lg exceeds the position where the flange portion 14 b of the first fixed iron core 14 is disposed, and the armature 17. Extends to the side. That is, ΔL extends from the surface of the flange portion 14b on the coil 13 side to the coil 13 side and overlaps the thickness Lf of the flange portion 14b. This facilitates passage of the magnetic flux of the second magnetic circuit Mg2.

  The inner diameter Dgi of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is set to be smaller than the outer diameter Db of the land portion 32 of the spool 25, and after the spool 25 is stored in the spool storage chamber 24 c of the valve body 24, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is attached to the valve body 24. By press-fitting into the press-fitting hole 24 b of the flange portion 24 a, it is possible to prevent the spool 25 from coming out of the valve body 24 by the magnetic force reinforcing member 18.

  Further, the inner diameter Dgi of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is set larger than the outer diameter Dr of the rod 19, and a gap of ΔD is formed between them. Accordingly, the rod 19 can freely move with respect to the magnetic force reinforcing member 18. Even when the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is press-fitted and fixed in the press-fitting hole 24b of the flange portion 24a, and the rod 19 is press-fitted and fixed in the first first receiving hole 25a of the land portion 32 of the spool 25, the rod 19 can be fixed without any problem. It can be assembled to the first first accommodation hole 25 a of the land portion 32.

  Further, the outer diameter Dgo of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is set to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cup guide 16, and the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 extends beyond the flange portion 14b of the first fixed iron core 14. It can also be used as a guide structure (inro structure).

  Next, a specific shape of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4E. These magnetic force reinforcing members 18 are made of plated steel plates.

  The magnetic force reinforcing member 18 shown in FIG. 4A has a cylindrical shape, and is formed by drawing. Thus, since it is a mere cylindrical shape, since it is a simple shape as components, a manufacturing unit price can be restrained low.

  The magnetic force reinforcing member 18 shown in FIG. 4B has a cylindrical shape, and is formed by winding a flat plate. Accordingly, a gap 18 f is formed on the axial abutting surface of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18. According to this configuration, it can be formed at a lower cost than drawing, and since there is an elastic force in the radial direction, the tolerance at the time of press-fitting into the press-fitting hole 24b of the flange portion 24a can be relaxed. Furthermore, the clearance 18f facilitates the flow of hydraulic oil between the rods 19 and improves lubricity.

  The magnetic force reinforcing member 18 shown in FIG. 4C has a cylindrical shape and is formed by drawing. A facing surface 18 b that faces the armature 17 is formed. According to this configuration, the area through which the magnetic flux passes is increased by the facing surface 18b, and the attracting surface for the armature 17 can be enlarged.

  The magnetic force reinforcing member 18 shown in FIG. 4D has a cylindrical shape, and is formed by drawing. A plurality of notches 18c are formed on the side of the flange portion 24a that is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 24b. According to this configuration, since there is an elastic force in the radial direction, it is possible to alleviate a tolerance when press-fitting into the press-fitting hole 24b of the flange portion 24a.

  The magnetic force reinforcing member 18 shown in FIG. 4E has a cylindrical shape, and is formed by drawing. A small diameter portion 18d and a large diameter portion 18e are formed. According to this configuration, when the diameter of the press-fitting hole 24b of the flange portion 24a is large, the large-diameter portion 18e can be used for press-fitting.

  As described above, the present embodiment is a hollow magnetic force having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spool on the side facing the armature (movable iron core) of the electromagnetic drive section of the spool housing chamber formed in the valve body of the valve mechanism section. The reinforcement member is in a fixed position. According to this, the magnetic force reinforcing member is interposed in the fixed portion between the valve body and the electromagnetic driving unit by fixing the magnetic force reinforcing member to the inner peripheral surface of the spool housing chamber on the side facing the armature of the electromagnetic driving unit. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the extra time and cost for manufacturing the magnetic reinforcing member that reinforces the magnetic force of the attracting portion that attracts the armature in the axial direction and for assembling the magnetic reinforcing member.

  Next, a method for assembling the solenoid valve assembly according to this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the electromagnetic valve assembly according to this embodiment includes a valve mechanism portion 23 and an electromagnetic drive portion 11.

  In the valve mechanism portion 23, a return spring 26, a spool 25, a magnetic force reinforcing member 18, an O-ring and a rod 19 are accommodated in the internal space of the valve body 24. The electromagnetic drive unit 11 includes a connector 21, a second fixed iron core 15, and a coil 13 housed in the outer yoke 12, and a cup guide 16 and an armature 17 housed in the coil 13. 14, O-ring 22 is fixed. And these are assembled | attached through the process shown in FIG.

  6, in step 1, the connector 21, the coil 13, and the second fixed iron core are integrally formed by molding with a synthetic resin, and then housed in the outer yoke 12 and the claws 12b are crimped and integrated. . Next, in step 2, the connector 21 is inverted downward and placed on the assembly worker. The reason for reversing is that the valve mechanism 11 is caulked and the cup guide 16 and the armature 17 are held so as not to fall down.

  In the next step 3, the cup guide 16 is housed and arranged in the coil 13 (actually in the bobbin 20). The cup guide 16 does not fall down in the stroke 2 because the outer yoke 12 is inverted. In step 4, the armature 17 is housed and arranged in the cup guide 16. The electromagnetic drive part 11 is assembled by these processes.

  On the other hand, in parallel with Step 1 to Step 4, in Step 5, the return spring 26 is housed and disposed in the spool housing chamber 24 c of the valve body 24 with the valve body 24 standing. In step 6, the spool 25 is housed and arranged in the valve body 24. Next, in step 7, the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is press-fitted into a press-fitting hole 24 b formed in the flange portion 24 a of the valve body 24.

  In this case, since the inner diameter of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is smaller than the outer diameter of the land portion 32 of the spool 25, the spool 25 comes out of the valve body 24 when the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 24b of the flange portion 24a. I can't do that. Next, in step 8, the valve mechanism 23 is assembled by press-fitting the rod 19 into the first accommodation hole 25a formed in the land portion 32 of the spool 25.

  Then, the electromagnetic drive unit 11 assembled in Steps 1 to 4 and the valve mechanism 23 assembled in Steps 5 to 8 are combined in Step 9, and the claw portion 12a of the outer yoke is further connected to the valve body in Step 10. The solenoid valve assembly is completed by caulking the outer periphery of the 24 flange portions 24a.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, after the spool 25 is stored in the spool storage chamber 24c of the valve body 24, the hollow magnetic force reinforcing member 18 having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spool 25 is replaced with the electromagnetic force of the spool storage chamber 24c. The valve body 24 on the side of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is fixed by caulking with the outer yoke 12 of the electromagnetic drive unit 11 to be integrated with the inner peripheral surface of the drive unit 11 on the side facing the movable core 17. . Therefore, the spool 25 does not come out of the valve body 24, and the electromagnetic drive part 11 and the valve mechanism part 23 can be easily assembled.

  In the electromagnetic valve assembly configured as in Patent Document 1, when the electromagnetic drive unit and the valve mechanism unit are assembled and integrated, the electromagnetic drive unit is generally placed on the lower assembly and the upper side. The valve mechanism side is assembled. Accordingly, since the magnetic force reinforcing member is merely disposed opposite to the axial front end surface of the movable iron core, it is necessary to assemble the magnetic force reinforcing member while holding it in a predetermined position. Therefore, there is a problem that the assembly of the solenoid valve assembly is not easy because it is necessary to assemble it while holding it so as not to fall off.

  In contrast, in this embodiment, the return spring 26 and the spool 25 are inserted into the spool accommodating chamber 24c in the strokes 5 and 6, and then the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 24b in the stroke 7, thereby returning the return springs. 26 and the spool 25 can be prevented from falling off the valve body 24.

  In other words, since the inner diameter of the magnetic force reinforcing member 18 is smaller than the outer diameters of the first land portion 31 and the second land portion 32 of the spool 25, the valve body 24 is inverted to fix the valve body 24 to the outer yoke 12 by caulking. When this is done, the spool 25 and the return spring 26 accommodated in the valve body 24 do not fall off, and the flange portion 24a can be easily inserted into the inner periphery of the claw portion 12a. Further, by inserting the rod 19 into the first accommodation hole 25a of the spool 25, the insertability of the flange portion 24a into the inner periphery of the claw portion 12a is improved.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the hollow magnetic force reinforcement having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spool on the side facing the movable iron core of the electromagnetic drive portion of the spool housing chamber formed in the valve body of the valve mechanism portion. It was set as the structure which fixes a member. According to this, the magnetic force reinforcing member is interposed in the fixed portion between the valve body and the electromagnetic driving unit by fixing the magnetic reinforcing member to the inner peripheral surface of the spool housing chamber on the side facing the movable iron core. Therefore, it becomes possible to suppress the time and cost required for manufacturing the magnetic force reinforcing member that reinforces the magnetic force of the attracting portion that attracts the movable iron core in the axial direction and assembling the magnetic force reinforcing member.

  Further, according to the present invention, after the spool is housed in the spool housing chamber of the valve body, the hollow magnetic force reinforcing member having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spool is placed on the side facing the movable iron core of the electromagnetic drive unit of the spool housing chamber. In this state, the end face of the valve body on the side of the magnetic force reinforcing member is integrated with the electromagnetic drive unit. According to this, after the spool is housed in the spool housing chamber of the valve body, the hollow magnetic reinforcing member having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the spool is placed on the inner circumference of the spool housing chamber on the side facing the movable iron core. By fixing to the surface, the spool does not come out of the valve body, and the electromagnetic drive part and the valve mechanism part can be easily assembled.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to an above-described Example, Various modifications are included. For example, the above-described embodiments have been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described. Further, a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment, and the configuration of another embodiment can be added to the configuration of one embodiment. Further, it is possible to add, delete, and replace other configurations for a part of the configuration of each embodiment.
