Publication number: 20250084929Abstract: Disclosed are a valve core with a microporous structure and a solenoid valve using the valve core. The solenoid valve comprises a valve body, an electromagnetic component, an elastic component and a valve core. The valve core comprises a sealing component and a microporous material. The valve core is arranged in the valve body, the elastic component is arranged between the valve core and the electromagnetic component, a flow channel is arranged on the valve body, the microporous material is matched with a flow channel on the valve body. In this design, the sealing component and the microporous material are integrated into a unified structure, forming a monolithic valve core. The control of flow rate and pressure is entirely dependent on the compression amount of the microporous material, revolutionizing the traditional flow control method of the solenoid valve. This approach enhances the precision of flow control within a certain range.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Applicant: SUZHOU RAYONTECH TECHNOLOGY CO., LTDInventors: Yong LUO, Renqin ZHANG, Hongmei CHEN, Xiaoming ZHU, Kai YANG, Qiaoqiao ZHU, Mengna RU

Patent number: 12152687Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a micro-flow valve control mechanism, which comprises an electromagnetic coil, a base, a ring seat, a moving plate and an elastic plate; wherein the elastic plate is positioned above the base, the ring seat and the moving plate are positioned between the base and the elastic plate, the moving plate is positioned at the inner side of the ring seat. In this scheme, the structure of valve air intake control is optimized, and the ring seat plays the guiding role in the lifting of the moving plate to a certain extent, which ensures that the moving plate will not deflect in the air intake process, so that the outer ring at the lower side of the moving plate can allow air to enter uniformly, thus ensuring the working stability of the electromagnetic valve.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2020Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Inventors: Yong Luo, Renqin Zhang, Hongmei Chen, Cheng-Te Lin, Chen Ye, Xiaoming Zhu
