  • Patent number: 9297473
    Abstract: A coil (96) attracting an armature (80) is housed in a main body part (70). A valve part (82) adapted to rest on and move off a valve seat (74) is formed integral with the armature (80). The valve seat (74) is disposed at a location between a high-pressure path (78) and a low-pressure path (83). When the valve part (82) rests on the valve seat (74), the high-pressure path (78) and the low-pressure path (83) are disconnected from each other, while, when the valve part (82) moves off the valve seat (74), the high-pressure path (78) and the low-pressure path (83) communicate with each other. A through-hole (86) is formed in a portion of the armature (80) through which a smaller amount of magnetic flux from the coil (96) passes. A guide pin (102) secured to the main body part (70) engages with the through-hole (86).

  • Publication number: 20140240068
    Abstract: [Means to Solve Problem] A coil (68) is housed in a main body (70). An inner cylindrical portion (98a) is disposed inward of the coil (68). An armature (80) adapted to be attracted by the coil (68) is disposed, being spaced from the inner cylindrical portion (98a). A magnetic flux concentrating member (100) is disposed on the side of the coil (68) nearer to the armature (80), being spaced from the inner cylindrical portion (98a). The gap between the inner cylindrical portion (98a) and the magnetic flux concentrating member (100) is larger than the gap between the armature (80) and the inner cylindrical member (100).
