Abstract
In an electromagnetic valve, the fixed core of a solenoid has an axially extending annular wall at one end. The movable core of the solenoid is connected to a poppet for closing a fluid passage of a valve seat member and is fittable in the recess defined by the annular wall. The magnetic flux flow path including the annular wall provides reduced hysteresis for the initial part of the stroke of the poppet upon energization of the solenoid.
Claims5
An electromagnetic valve comprising:
- a solenoid comprising a coil wound on a bobbin and a fixed core extending through said bobbin so as to form a magnetic path with said coil, one end of said fixed core having an axially protruding annular wall defining a recess at said one end;
- a poppet including a valve member portion and a magnetic portion, said magnetic portion being fittable into said recess so as to comprise a movable core of said solenoid during an end part of a stroke, and
- a valve seat member forming a fluid passage, wherein said valve member portion is movable during said stroke into a position for closing said fluid passage, whereby a magnetic flux flow path of said solenoid includes said annular wall during said end part of said stroke so that hysteresis of an initial part of said stroke of said poppet is minimized,
- wherein an outer surface of said annular wall is tapered such that said annular wall has a progressively reduced thickness with increased distance from said one end.
