20080315140 | ELECTRIC SPOOL VALVE - A sleeve has an input port, an output port, an insertion hole, and only one discharge port. A spool is axially slidable through the insertion hole to communicate among the input port, the output port, and the discharge port. An electric actuator is provided to one end of the sleeve and has a variable volume chamber, which communicates with the discharge port through an axial through hole and a spool breathing hole in the spool. The spool has a communication through hole to lead fluid from the output port to the discharge port through the axial through hole. A passage partition member is in the axial through hole to define an in-spool breathing passage communicating with the spool breathing hole. | 12-25-2008 |
20120212309 | ELECTROMAGNETIC SOLENOID - An electromagnetic solenoid includes first and second stators arranged at two axial end sides of a coil. The first stator includes an annular radial core part, an axial core part cylindrically extending from an inner end of the radial core part toward the second stator, and a core corner part having an outer corner surface at an intersection of the radial and axial core parts. A plunger guide includes a cylindrical sleeve inward of the stators, a flange extending radially outward from the sleeve along a side of the radial core part opposed to the coil, and a plunger-guide corner part having an inner corner surface at an intersection of the sleeve and the flange. The outer and inner corner surfaces of the core corner part and the plunger-guide corner part abut on each other in a contact portion linearly or in area along an entire circumference. | 08-23-2012 |
20130068975 | ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTUATOR - A stator is provided with a ring-shaped outer stator-projection and a ring-shaped inner stator-projection. A plunger is provided with a ring-shaped outer plunger -projection and a ring-shaped inner plunger-projection. A magnetic force is generated at three portions between the plunger and the stator. The inner stator-projection has a first tapered surface and the outer plunger-projection has a second tapered surface. The first tapered surface and the second tapered surface confront each other when the plunger moves toward the stator. | 03-21-2013 |
20140021386 | SOLENOID VALVE - A valve includes a valve housing and a linier solenoid. The linier solenoid includes a cylindrical yoke and is coupled with the valve. An open end of the yoke is crimped to a flanged crimping receiving part provided along an outer periphery of the valve housing, so that the linier solenoid and the valve are coupled together. The open end of the yoke includes a plurality of notches provided in a circumferential direction of the yoke, and the plurality of notches defines a plurality of crimping pieces. Each of the plurality of crimping pieces includes a large part and a small part. The large part is located on a base side of the each of the plurality of crimping pieces and has a larger circumferential width. The small part is located on an tip side of the each of the plurality of crimping pieces and has a smaller circumferential width. | 01-23-2014 |
20140041742 | ELECTROMAGNETIC SPOOL VALVE - Drain oil is discharged into an oil drain passage from an advance angle port and discharge port, or from a delay angle port and discharge port; the drain oil may be mixed with foreign matter. The flow of such foreign matter accompanying the drain oil, even if flowing toward an electromagnetic actuator, can be hindered from reaching a high magnetic flux density portion by each of a pipe, a hollow shaft, and a collar. The high magnetic flux density portion, which is easy to be affected by influence of the foreign matter, can be prevented from suffering from the arrival of the foreign matter; this prevents an occurrence of the slide abrasion and/or the slide defect of a plunger, improving the reliability of an oil control valve. | 02-13-2014 |
20150027573 | ELECTROMAGNETIC VALVE - An oil control valve has a cup shaft and a plunger. The cup shaft and the plunger have a projection and a recess to provide a male-female joint. The male-female joint provides contact points which can reduce lateral offset and inclination. The projection and The recess provides two or more force transmitting points from the plunger to the cup shaft, when the projection and the recess are inclined with each other. The force transmitting points are located about the central axis of the spool in a distributed manner. | 01-29-2015 |
20150076930 | LINEAR SOLENOID AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME - An inner diameter of a third stator core is greater than an inner diameter of a second stator core. When a first stator core, the second stator core, and the third stator core are placed in an inner periphery of a coil, a jig is inserted from an inner-periphery opening of a first end side of the third stator core into the third stator core to directly position the first stator core, the second stator core, and the third stator core in a radial direction. Therefore, a side force generated by an axis deviation between the first stator core, the second stator core, and the third stator core can be reduced. | 03-19-2015 |
20150077204 | LINEAR SOLENOID - A linear solenoid includes a movable element, a first stator element, a second stator element, a third stator element, a cover and a through hole. The third stator element has an opening formed on a thrust direction side of the third stator element. The cover covers the opening of the third stator element from the thrust direction side of an axial direction. The through hole passes through the third stator element. An inside of the third stator element is in fluid communication with an outside of the third stator element through the through hole. | 03-19-2015 |
