- FIG. 7 an annular valve element facing the valve seat is secured to a main valve holding cylinder defining a main valve member.
- An iron core is coupled integrally to said main valve holding cylinder and is axially movably received in a sleeve for common movements with said main valve member,
- said pilot hole is formed with an end opening located in said sleeve.
- Said pilot hole communicates with the interior of the pressure control chamber.
- the other end of said pilot hole is open to said low-pressure side fluid passage.
- a pilot valve member is attached to an end face of said movable iron core such that said pilot valve element faces the opening of said pilot hole in said fixed iron core.
- Both iron cores are in mutual engagement by means of a coil spring.
- the freely expanded length of said coil spring keeps a predetermined distance between both iron cores without electromagnetic force acting upon the movable iron core.
- high-pressure fluid reaches said pressure control chamber through a leak hole formed in said main valve holding cylinder.
- the fluid further passes to said low-pressure side fluid passage through a gap between the lower iron core and the sleeve and finally through said pilot hole. Since with said pilot valve open the fluid cannot build up considerable pressure said main valve member is pushed upwardly by the primary pressure of the introduced fluid and thus opens.
- the movable iron core is attracted to the fixed iron core such that the pilot valve member closes the pilot hole.
- the pressure in the pressure control chamber rises due to fluid leaking in from the high-pressure side fluid passage through the leak hole.
- a pressure difference is built up between said pressure control chamber and the low pressure side fluid passage moving said main valve holding cylinder towards said valve seat.
- Said main valve element is pressed against the valve seat and remains stationary in the closed state of the main valve. If in this close state the coil is de-energised, the movable iron core inside said sleeve is pushed back under the urging force of the coil spring until both iron cores are separated by said predetermined distance.
- the pilot valve is opened and the pilot hole communicates with the low-pressure side fluid passage.
- the pressure in the pressure control chamber decreases while the pressure of the high-pressure side fluid passage acts upon the main valve holding cylinder.
- a pressure difference is built between the high-pressure side fluid passage and the pressure control chamber. Due to said pressure difference the main valve holding cylinder moves in a direction such that the main valve element is moved away from said valve seat and opens said main valve. If the main valve suddenly opens while simultaneously high pressure fluid is introduced to the high-pressure side fluid passage said main valve element is deformed by the pressure introduced into a gap between the main valve member and the valve element Said valve element even may come off said main valve member. To prevent this a pressure relief hole is formed through said main valve member such that pressure introduced into said gap between said main valve member and said valve element can escape avoiding undesirable deformation of said valve element and tearing off said valve element from said main valve member.
- the plunger contacts the main valve member when the coil is de-energised while a position of the shaft is maintained in which the pilot valve element is separated from the pilot valve seat such that said pilot valve cannot be closed inadvertently. If fluid is entering from the high-pressure side fluid passage said fluid does not act upon the main valve member in closing direction of the main valve since the pressure control chamber is open to the low-pressure side fluid passage via said open pilot valve. The fluid instead acts upon main valve member in opening direction so that the main valve opens. As soon as the coil is energised the plunger is attracted to the movable core. By displacement of said shaft relative to said plunger said pilot valve element protrudes from the plunger and safely closes said pilot valve. The pressure in the pressure control chamber rises due to fluid leaking through from the high-pressure side fluid passage. A pressure difference is built up with the result that the main valve is moved towards the valve seat and is closed and kept in its closed state.
- said plunger is structurally separated from said main valve member. Said separation prevents a deterioration in operation performance in case of a misalignment between the plunger and said main valve member. Fluid flowing into the pilot hole from said pressure control chamber does not flow along the sliding portion of the plunger, but instead directly into the plunger and towards the pilot valve seat. This guarantees a perfect sliding performance of the plunger, since no foreign matter can deteriorate the sliding performance of the plunger.
- the main valve member has the pilot valve seat and said valve element attached separately from one another. Said valve element is trapped by caulking at its outer periphery and inside the recess of said main valve member. A gap is defined at the inner peripheral portion of said valve element and serves as a pressure relief passage. For that reason it is not necessary to form an additional pressure relief hole in said main valve member.

- the spring force of spring 20 is greater than the spring force of spring 23 .

- Valve element 6 finally contacts valve seat 4 and closes said main valve. Said pilot valve remains in its closed state under the force of spring 23 . The pressure difference between high-pressure side fluid passage 2 and low-pressure side fluid passage 3 increases and additionally holds said main valve closed.
- plunger 17 Since plunger 17 is structurally separated from main valve member 5 , any misalignment between plunger 17 and main valve member 5 does not deteriorate the operation performance.
- the pilot valve being a ball valve with the ball seated on the pilot valve seat 9 will be kept in close contact with said pilot valve seat 9 even if the plunger 17 gets out of alignment.
- Said pilot valve when closed, seals with enhanced quality preventing internal leakage through the pilot valve and inadvertent opening of the main valve.
- the structural separation of the components improves the assembling efficiency of the entire valve.
- pilot hole 7 formed in main valve member 5 can be made short, as shown in the drawings. A short pilot hole does not have a capillary effect. This serves to reduce the pressure loss through pilot hole and to improve the operation efficiency (insensitivity to temperature depending on fluid viscosity variations, e.g.). This also allows to employ a coil of reduced size and low power consumption.
- Spring 20 reliably keeping the pilot valve open in the de-energised state is provided outside of the region where the plunger 17 is co-acting with core 22 .
- said spring 20 is housed in cavity 24 of plunger 17 at a location separated from the magnetic path. This allows to achieve a large magnetic path for attracting the plunger and the core 22 in turn allowing to use a small size core 22 and to actuate it with reduced power consumption.
- Valve element 6 is securely attached to main valve member 5 in a manner such that at the inner peripheral portion of valve element 6 a clearance is defined.
- Valve element 6 is positively secured to main valve member e.g. by caulking in the region of its outer periphery. Said clearance serves as a pressure relief passage, as soon as valve element 6 is subjected to pressure. It is not necessary to provide a separate pressure relief hole in main valve member 5 . This allows to reduce the manufacturing costs of the valve.

Abstract
In a main valve having a solenoid pilot operated valve a movable core and a hollow plunger are movably received in a sleeve extending from a pressure control chamber through an electromagnetic coil. Said plunger is structurally separated from a main valve member. A shaft is slidably received in said plunger. One end of said shaft carries a pilot valve member. A spring engages at said plunger and said shaft such that the free end of said shaft projects a predetermined length beyond an end face of the plunger. As long as said coil is de-energised, said spring separates said pilot valve member from a pilot valve seat. As soon as said coil is energised the plunger is attracted to the core, the shaft is displaced in relation to said plunger, and the pilot valve member projecting from the lower end of said plunger closes said pilot valve seat. Due to a then developing pressure difference said main valve is closed and kept in a closed state.
Description
- The present invention relates to a solenoid-operated pilot valve for controlling a main valve between open and closed states, and more particularly to a normally open type solenoid-operated pilot valve comprising a pilot hole formed in a main valve member which pilot hole is opened and closed by a pilot valve element magnetically coupled to a solenoid to control said main valve by pilot operation between open and closed states.
- There are two types of main valves having a solenoid-operated pilot valve (normally open type or normally closed type). With the solenoid de-energised in the first type the main valve is open, in the second case the main valve is closed. A normally open type valve is disclosed in applicants own unexamined Japanese patent publication (KOKAI) 11-230398 (filed Feb. 20, 1998, published Aug. 27, 1999). In said valve (FIG. 7) an annular valve element facing the valve seat is secured to a main valve holding cylinder defining a main valve member. An iron core is coupled integrally to said main valve holding cylinder and is axially movably received in a sleeve for common movements with said main valve member, Along an axis of said fixed iron core said pilot hole is formed with an end opening located in said sleeve. Said pilot hole communicates with the interior of the pressure control chamber. The other end of said pilot hole is open to said low-pressure side fluid passage. At a location behind said fixed iron core at the opposite side of said main valve member a movable iron core is axially movably arranged in said sleeve. A pilot valve member is attached to an end face of said movable iron core such that said pilot valve element faces the opening of said pilot hole in said fixed iron core. Both iron cores are in mutual engagement by means of a coil spring. The freely expanded length of said coil spring keeps a predetermined distance between both iron cores without electromagnetic force acting upon the movable iron core. In the de-energised state high-pressure fluid reaches said pressure control chamber through a leak hole formed in said main valve holding cylinder. The fluid further passes to said low-pressure side fluid passage through a gap between the lower iron core and the sleeve and finally through said pilot hole. Since with said pilot valve open the fluid cannot build up considerable pressure said main valve member is pushed upwardly by the primary pressure of the introduced fluid and thus opens. In the energised state the movable iron core is attracted to the fixed iron core such that the pilot valve member closes the pilot hole.
- The pressure in the pressure control chamber rises due to fluid leaking in from the high-pressure side fluid passage through the leak hole. A pressure difference is built up between said pressure control chamber and the low pressure side fluid passage moving said main valve holding cylinder towards said valve seat. Said main valve element is pressed against the valve seat and remains stationary in the closed state of the main valve. If in this close state the coil is de-energised, the movable iron core inside said sleeve is pushed back under the urging force of the coil spring until both iron cores are separated by said predetermined distance. The pilot valve is opened and the pilot hole communicates with the low-pressure side fluid passage. The pressure in the pressure control chamber decreases while the pressure of the high-pressure side fluid passage acts upon the main valve holding cylinder. A pressure difference is built between the high-pressure side fluid passage and the pressure control chamber. Due to said pressure difference the main valve holding cylinder moves in a direction such that the main valve element is moved away from said valve seat and opens said main valve. If the main valve suddenly opens while simultaneously high pressure fluid is introduced to the high-pressure side fluid passage said main valve element is deformed by the pressure introduced into a gap between the main valve member and the valve element Said valve element even may come off said main valve member. To prevent this a pressure relief hole is formed through said main valve member such that pressure introduced into said gap between said main valve member and said valve element can escape avoiding undesirable deformation of said valve element and tearing off said valve element from said main valve member.
- Since said main valve holding cylinder and said fixed iron core are integrally coupled to each other and are designed to simultaneously slide within a cylindrical hole of the housing and said sleeve, respectively, there is a danger that the main valve holding cylinder and the fixed iron core get out of mutual alignment. This leads to the problem that the valve in operation cannot perform smoothly. If the fixed iron core received in said sleeve is inclined or gets out of alignment with the sleeve, a front surface of the fixed iron core facing the pilot valve element coupled to the movable iron core fails to come into close and correct contact with the pilot valve element uniformly and over the entire circumference when the pilot valve to be closed. This causes an internal leak. Fluid passing from said high-pressure side fluid passage via said leak hole, said pressure control chamber and said pilot hole in the fixed iron core reaches the low-pressure side fluid passage through the gap provided the fixed iron core and the sleeve, i.e. along the sliding portion of the fixed iron core. Foreign matter contained in the fluid enters the gap and causes a problem, because then the movable iron core does not slide properly. In order to prevent the valve element from coming off the main valve member in case of a switchover of high-pressure fluid said main valve member needs to be drilled to form a pressure relief hole. Said disadvantages lead to a deterioration in operation performance due to a misalignment of the pilot valve element and a deterioration in sliding performance due to foreign matter. Drilling a pressure relief hole is an additional costly manufacturing step.
- It is a task of the invention to provide a valve as disclosed above which is fail-safe in view to misalignments of the pilot valve and in the sliding performance due to foreign matter contained in the fluid and which does not need drilling a pressure relief hole for the operational safety of the valve element
- Said task is achieved by the features of claim1 and
independent claim 4, respectively. - In the valve designed according to the invention the plunger contacts the main valve member when the coil is de-energised while a position of the shaft is maintained in which the pilot valve element is separated from the pilot valve seat such that said pilot valve cannot be closed inadvertently. If fluid is entering from the high-pressure side fluid passage said fluid does not act upon the main valve member in closing direction of the main valve since the pressure control chamber is open to the low-pressure side fluid passage via said open pilot valve. The fluid instead acts upon main valve member in opening direction so that the main valve opens. As soon as the coil is energised the plunger is attracted to the movable core. By displacement of said shaft relative to said plunger said pilot valve element protrudes from the plunger and safely closes said pilot valve. The pressure in the pressure control chamber rises due to fluid leaking through from the high-pressure side fluid passage. A pressure difference is built up with the result that the main valve is moved towards the valve seat and is closed and kept in its closed state.
- According to the invention said plunger is structurally separated from said main valve member. Said separation prevents a deterioration in operation performance in case of a misalignment between the plunger and said main valve member. Fluid flowing into the pilot hole from said pressure control chamber does not flow along the sliding portion of the plunger, but instead directly into the plunger and towards the pilot valve seat. This guarantees a perfect sliding performance of the plunger, since no foreign matter can deteriorate the sliding performance of the plunger.
- According to a further aspect of the invention the main valve member has the pilot valve seat and said valve element attached separately from one another. Said valve element is trapped by caulking at its outer periphery and inside the recess of said main valve member. A gap is defined at the inner peripheral portion of said valve element and serves as a pressure relief passage. For that reason it is not necessary to form an additional pressure relief hole in said main valve member.
- Further expedient embodiments are contained in the depending claims.
- An embodiment of the present invention is described with the help of the drawings. In the drawings is:

main valve member 5, i.e. the inner diameter ofcylindrical bore 3 a, is larger than the diameter ofmain valve seat 4 such that the total pressure receiving area ofmain valve member 5 is greater than the internal pressure receiving area ofvalve seat 4. As long as the pressure inpressure control chamber 14 is equal to the pressure in low-pressureside fluid passage 3, the pressure in high-pressureside fluid passage 2 is acting to movemain valve member 5 away fromvalve seat 4. - Fluid from high-pressure
side fluid passage 2 can flow into low-pressureside fluid passage 3 along a fluid passage for the pilot valve defined bypiston ring 10,pressure control chamber 14, communication holes 21,pilot valve seat 9 andpilot hole 7. As long as there is no pressure difference between high-pressureside fluid passage 2 and low-pressureside fluid passage 3main valve member 5 remains in the closed position as shown in FIG. 1, due to the spring force ofspring 23 withoutcoil 15 being energised. As soon as fluid is introduced in the high-pressureside fluid passage 2 and a pressure difference is built up,main valve member 5 is moved away fromvalve seat 4 and main valve opens due to the pressure in the high-pressureside fluid passage 2, with coil being not energised and as shown in FIG. 2.Pilot valve member 19 remains separated frompilot valve seat 9 due to the action ofspring 20. As long as said pilot valve remains open the pressures inpressure control chamber 14 and low-pressureside fluid passage 3 are essentially equal. As soon asmain valve member 5 moves away fromvalve seat 4,plunger 17 abuttingwasher 8 is pushed upwardly. Sincespring 20 is stronger thanspring 23,shaft 18 will movecore 22 upwardly compressingspring 23. The upperdistal end 28 ofshaft 18 will remain projecting from upper end face ofplunger 17 as shown in FIG. 2. As a consequence, said pilot valve will remain in its fully open state and theupper end 28 ofshaft 18 will protrude beyondplunger 17 by a certain length limited by the engagement betweenring 26 and said abutment at the upper end ofcavity 24. - As soon as
coil 15 is energised (FIG. 3)plunger 17 instantly is attracted tocore 22. The magnetic force overcomes the spring force ofspring 20.Lower portion 29 ofshaft 18 withpilot valve member 19 is displaced downwardly in relation toplunger 17.Core 22,plunger 17 andshaft 18 are displaced downwardly byspring 23 towardsmain valve member 5.Pilot valve member 19 projects beyond the lower end surface ofplunger 17 by a length greater than the thickness ofwasher 8 such thatpilot valve member 19 closespilot valve seat 9. - Now the fluid communication between
pressure control chamber 14 and low-pressureside fluid passage 3 is blocked. Fluid, still leaking throughpiston ring 10 from high-pressureside fluid passage 2 intopressure control chamber 14 is trapped therein. Prior to a pressure balance between high-pressureside fluid passage 2 andpressure control chamber 14 and due to the spring force ofspring 23main valve member 5 starts to move towards valve seat 4 (between the positions shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4), together withmovable core 22,plunger 17 lifted fromwasher 8 andshaft 18 maintaining said pilot valve in its closed state. -
Valve element 6 finallycontacts valve seat 4 and closes said main valve. Said pilot valve remains in its closed state under the force ofspring 23. The pressure difference between high-pressureside fluid passage 2 and low-pressureside fluid passage 3 increases and additionally holds said main valve closed. - Since
plunger 17 is structurally separated frommain valve member 5, any misalignment betweenplunger 17 andmain valve member 5 does not deteriorate the operation performance. The pilot valve being a ball valve with the ball seated on thepilot valve seat 9 will be kept in close contact with saidpilot valve seat 9 even if theplunger 17 gets out of alignment. Said pilot valve, when closed, seals with enhanced quality preventing internal leakage through the pilot valve and inadvertent opening of the main valve. The structural separation of the components improves the assembling efficiency of the entire valve. - Fluid flowing from high-pressure
side fluid passage 2 and further through open pilot valve does not pass along the siding portion ofplunger 17 insleeve 16. Foreign matter contained in the fluid cannot jeopardise the sliding performance of theplunger 17 insleeve 16 and also not the sliding performance ofshaft 18 inplunger 17. Thepilot hole 7 formed inmain valve member 5 can be made short, as shown in the drawings. A short pilot hole does not have a capillary effect. This serves to reduce the pressure loss through pilot hole and to improve the operation efficiency (insensitivity to temperature depending on fluid viscosity variations, e.g.). This also allows to employ a coil of reduced size and low power consumption. -
Spring 20, reliably keeping the pilot valve open in the de-energised state is provided outside of the region where theplunger 17 is co-acting withcore 22. To the contrary, saidspring 20 is housed incavity 24 ofplunger 17 at a location separated from the magnetic path. This allows to achieve a large magnetic path for attracting the plunger and the core 22 in turn allowing to use asmall size core 22 and to actuate it with reduced power consumption. -
Valve element 6 is securely attached tomain valve member 5 in a manner such that at the inner peripheral portion of valve element 6 a clearance is defined.Valve element 6 is positively secured to main valve member e.g. by caulking in the region of its outer periphery. Said clearance serves as a pressure relief passage, as soon asvalve element 6 is subjected to pressure. It is not necessary to provide a separate pressure relief hole inmain valve member 5. This allows to reduce the manufacturing costs of the valve. - In any state of the valve the axial displacement stroke of
shaft 18 betweenmovable core 22 andpilot valve seat 9 is somewhat longer than the possible axial displacement stroke ofplunger 17 between saidcore 22 and saidwasher 8. Said relationship leads to an improved operational behaviour when controlling the pilot valve.
