Normally closed solenoid valve

摘要

A normally closed solenoid valve includes a valve element arranged to be seatable on and unseatable from a valve seat. A movable core is movable with the valve element. A first spring biases the valve element and the movable core toward the valve seat. A coil and a stator core generate an electromagnetic force resistive to a load of the first spring for the movable core. A second spring applies a load smaller than and resistive to the load of the first spring to the valve element and the movable core. The valve further includes a load adjusting mechanism for adjusting the load of the first spring, and a stroke adjusting mechanism for adjusting an unseating stroke of the valve element from the valve seat.

1. A normally closed solenoid valve, comprising:
a housing having an inflow port and an outflow port for a fluid, a passage to communicate the inflow port and the outflow port with each other, and a valve orifice formed in the passage with a valve seat arranged at one end portion of the valve orifice; a valve element arranged so as to be seatable on and unseatable from the valve seat; a movable core arranged inside of a cylinder section of the housing so as to be movable integrally with the valve element in an axial direction of the movable core; a first spring configured to bias the valve element and the movable core toward the valve seat; a coil and a stator core configured to generate an electromagnetic force resistive to a load of the first spring for the movable core through energization; a second spring configured to apply a load smaller than and resistive to the load of the first spring to the valve element and the movable core; a load adjusting mechanism to adjust a mounting load of the first spring; and a stroke adjusting mechanism to adjust an unseating stroke of the valve element from the valve seat, wherein a gap is formed between an end of the second spring and a part of the valve element in a state in which the unseating stroke of the valve element from the valve seat becomes maximum, and the load of the second spring is set to zero before the unseating stroke of the valve element from the valve seat becomes maximum.
