Valve based on electrorheological or magnetorheological liquids

摘要

An electrorheological valve (1) has a valve case (2) with fluid inlet (3) and outlet (4) channels. A valve clearance (5), between which electrorheological liquid passes from the liquid inlet to the outlet channel, is bordered by two condensing fields set in parallel and created by the valve case connected to a regulated high voltage source and a movable actuator (7). These are fitted in the valve case for directing the flow of electrorheological liquid through the valve clearance.
