Patent number: 11318923Abstract: One embodiment provides a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve includes a fixed core, a movable core and a coil. A first valve seat member and a second valve seat member are fixed in the fixed core, and a valve body member is disposed therebetween. A spring member is interposed between the valve body member and the second valve seat member such that the valve body member is normally seated on the first valve seat member. The valve body member can move away from the first valve seat member to be seated on the second valve seat member, by being pushed by the movable core. And, a guide member holds the valve body member and the spring member to the second valve seat member so as not to move away from the second valve seat member.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2017Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: AUTOLIV NISSIN BRAKE SYSTEMS JAPAN CO., LTD.Inventors: Hirokazu Takahashi, Hiroaki Tokoi
