  • Patent number: 11802635
    Abstract: An electromagnetic valve includes: a solenoid having a plunger movably supported along an axis O1 direction; a flow path member having a fluid passage flow path and a valve element housing portion; and a valve element in a columnar shape that is disposed in the valve element housing portion, is movable along the axis O1 direction together with the plunger, and can switch between an open state and a closed state. The flow path member has an abutment portion that abuts on the valve element in the valve element housing portion, and a biasing member that biases the valve element. The valve element has an enlarged-diameter portion on the radially outer side. The enlarged-diameter portion has an opposing surface portion opposing the abutment portion at least in the axis O1 direction. The opposing surface portion is in contact with the abutment portion in the open state.

  • Patent number: 11289257
    Abstract: A solenoid device includes a yoke, a core, a shaft, a bobbin, a coil, a plunger, a lid, and a housing. A housing body part of the housing has a first opening; a first inner wall part expanding toward the outer side in the radial direction on an inner wall; and a first caulking part extending from the rear side end. The first inner wall part has a first step part extending toward the outer side in the radial direction at an end on the other side in the axial direction. A first cylindrical part of the yoke has a first flange part. The first flange part contacts the first step part with an end surface on the other side in the axial direction. The first caulking part is bent toward the inner side in the radial direction to contact a circumferential edge part of the lid.

  • Patent number: 11065564
    Abstract: A pressure control device reliably preventing foreign matter from flowing beyond a filter unit to the downstream side. The pressure control device includes a body and a cylindrical filter unit. The body has a flow path including a groove and a widened part. A depth of the groove from an upper surface to a bottom is a first depth. The widened part is connected to the groove, extends from the upper surface to the bottom, and has a width larger than a width of the groove. The filter unit is housed along a depth direction of the widened part to capture foreign matter mixed in a fluid passing through the flow path. A depth of the widened part from the upper surface to a bottom surface is a second depth larger than the first depth. The widened part includes a receiving part that a part of the filter unit enters.
