  • Patent number: 11162609
    Abstract: A fluid valve for a hydraulic circuit of an aircraft includes a valve body with an inlet and two outlets. The valve further includes a solenoid electric actuator with a ferromagnetic mobile driver and a valve member having a ferromagnetic portion/ The valve member is movable within the valve body along a main direction and has first and second ends that define first and second cavities, respectively, on opposite sides of the valve member. A longitudinal cavity extends through the valve member parallel to the main direction and opens into the second cavity. Relative displacement between the mobile driver and the valve member modifies a communication between the longitudinal cavity and the first cavity via a side opening that is perpendicular to the main direction.

  • Patent number: 11111933
    Abstract: A passive fluidic valve for fixed flow rate distribution comprising: a hollow valve body; a valve member for blocking a passage to one of the two outlets; and communications to impose the pressure of the upstream and downstream cavities at the ends of the valve member. The valve body further comprises: an inlet; a first outlet comprising a first restriction delimiting an upstream cavity and a downstream cavity; a second outlet comprising a second restriction delimiting an upstream cavity and a downstream cavity; and a first and a second cavity. The valve member further comprises: a first end in the first cavity delimiting a first and a third chambers, and a second end in the second cavity delimiting a second and a fourth chambers.
