Abstract

The solenoid valve has an exciter coil formed with a central passage which at one end guides a plunger or armature of a permanently magnetic material which is polarized in the direction of its axial movement. At the other end of the passage there is provided a tubular core of a magnetically soft material which acts as a mechanical limit stop for the armature and is also shaped as a valve seat controlled by the end face of the armature. An annular magnetically conductive member is arranged at the other end of the coil around the armature and is spaced from the latter by an aggregate so as to act as a magnetic holding member for the armature when the coil is energized and the armature is displaced to its working position away from the stop member.

Claims

1. A solenoid valve including an exciter coil and an armature in the form of a permanently magnetic bar which is coaxially plungable into said coil and polarized in the direction of its axial movement, comprising a core of a first magnetic material projecting at one end thereof into said coil to form a limit stop for the rest position of said armature, a valve housing including one housing part forming a supporting form for said coil, another housing part forming a central passage in said core, a further housing part forming a valve chamber communicating with said central passage and guiding said armature, the end of said valve chamber opposite said central passage being formed with a valve seat opening into an axial valve connector and a wall of said chamber communicating with a transversely directed valve connector;

said core of said magnetic material having the form of a tubular conduit projecting into said central passage and defining at its outer end another axial valve connector and at its inner end a valve seat cooperating with said plunger which acts as a valving member;

said parts of said valve housing together forming said housing as a molded single piece of synthetic material formed with a recessed neck surrounding said valve chamber;

a magnetically conductive annular member mounted in said recessed neck, said annular member having a pair of soldering lugs for fastening the valve to a supporting plate; and

further comprising an additional pair of soldering lugs extending from said molded single piece housing embedded in an end of said coil supporting form which is remote from said annular magnetically conductive member, said additional extending soldering lugs being electrically connected to terminals of said exciter coil.

2. A solenoid valve, including an exciter coil and an armature in the form of a permanently magnetic bar which is coaxially plungable into said coil and polarized in the direction of its axial movement, comprising a core of a first magnetic material projecting at one end thereof into said coil to form a limit stop for the rest position of said armature, a valve housing including one housing part forming a supporting form for said coil, another housing part forming a central passage in said core, a further housing part forming a valve chamber communicating with said central passage and guiding said armature, the end of said valve chamber opposite said central passage being formed with a valve seat opening into an axial valve connector and a wall of said chamber communicating with a transversely directed valve connector;

said core of said magnetic material having the form of a tubular conduit projecting into said central passage and defining at its outer end another axial valve connector and at its inner end a valve seat cooperating with said plunger which acts as a valving member;

said parts of said valve housing together forming said housing as a molded single piece of synthetic material formed with a recessed neck surrounding said valve chamber;

a magnetically conductive annular member mounted in said recessed neck, said annular member being divided in two halves separated from each other by the synthetic material of the valve housing and each being formed with a projecting mounting lug extending from said molded single piece housing for fastening the valve to a supporting plate, and said exciter coil having electrical terminals connected to said mounting lugs.
