Patent number: 6749175Abstract: To make it possible to easily produce a solenoid for a solenoid valve at low cost by reducing the number of parts and assembling steps. In a solenoid for a solenoid valve, a pole face is formed on an end wall portion of a magnetic case which covers a bobbin around which a coil is wound, thereby allowing the end wall portion to function as a stationary core, an end surface of a moving core inserted in center holes of the bobbin and the magnetic plate is set opposed to the pole face, and the moving core is adsorbed by the end wall portion by energizing the coil.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2002Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: SMC CorporationInventors: Hideharu Sato, Yoshio Aso, Shinichi Yoshimura, Takumi Matsumoto

Patent number: 6698713Abstract: There is provided a solenoid for electromagnetic valve, which has a small size and large attraction force, and is excellent in economization. In the solenoid for electromagnetic valve, a stationary iron core 5, a movable iron core 6 and the center hole 4a of a bobbin 4 individually have an elliptic or substantially rectangular cross section. Further, a relation of d=(0.4 to 0.8) W is formed between a winding outer diameter W on a shorter axis or side of a coil 7 wound around the bobbin 4 and having an elliptic or rectangular cross section and a diameter “d” of virtual cylindrical iron core having the same cross sectional area as a coil inside cross sectional area S. Further, a ratio of a length “a” of a longer axis or side to a length “b” of the shorter axis or side is set to a range of 1.3≦a/b≦3.0 in the cross section of the stationary iron core 5 and the moving iron core 6.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2001Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: SMC CorporationInventors: Hideharu Sato, Shinichi Yoshimura, Takumi Matsumoto

Publication number: 20030226993Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a solenoid valve having a manually-operated device capable of disposing the manually-operated device in the solenoid valve while avoiding a portion thereof constituted by a substrate or the like on which an electronic component such as a connector for electrical connection and a lamp is mounted. A solenoid valve comprises a main valve 2 having a valve member 20 which switches over flow paths by contacting with and separating from valve seats 15 and 16 in a valve casing 10, and a solenoid operating portion 3 for driving the valve member 20. The solenoid valve having the manually-operated device comprises an operation rod 51 which is air-tightly and slidably accommodated in a rod-insertion hole 102 provided in the valve casing 10 and which abuts against an end surface of the movable iron core 33 to push the moving core in its axial direction, and an operating member 52 movably mounted to a mounting surface of the valve casing 10 for driving the operation rod 51.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2003Publication date: December 11, 2003Applicant: SMC CorporationInventors: Takumi Matsumoto, Makoto Ishikawa

Patent number: 6295103Abstract: A small-sized, simple and inexpensive electronic part protecting structure and process enabled to prevent the reconstruction of electronic parts by preventing a case from being opened. Into a plurality of through holes formed in the surface of one case, there are loosely fitted projecting pieces which are provided on the surface of the other case. The projecting pieces are provided at their leading ends with deformed portions which are made so larger than the through holes that they can not be restored. By these deformed portions, the cases cannot be easily opened to prevent the electronic parts protected between the cases from being easily extracted while preventing the reconstruction. The case having the projecting pieces is made of a metal or resin. The through holes are formed in recesses of the case surface. The cut-off the deformed portions is detected and reported. Into the through holes formed in the surface and back protecting cases, on the other hand, there is inserted a protecting pin member.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1998Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takuji Yamatani, Youko Sumida, Takumi Matsumoto
