  • Patent number: 7095304
    Abstract: According to a solenoid air valve, a flange portion of a moving core and a flange portion area of a bobbin implement a stop area defining a distance of travel of the moving core in a direction away from a fixed core. An end portion of a shaft portion of the moving core can project outward through an opening of a frame cover, so that a gap between a surface of the frame cover facing the shaft portion and a side surface of the shaft portion (distance: L2) can be minimized. Consequently, a solenoid air valve having a structure allowing improvement in magnetic efficiency by making smaller the gap between the frame and the moving core is provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7049917
    Abstract: A moving core of a solenoid air valve has a flange portion arranged on a side of a fixed core, provided in a radially projecting manner and having a first diameter, and a shaft portion having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. Therefore, a sufficient area of magnetic pole is ensured around a rubber packing in the flange portion of the moving core. Consequently, the solenoid air valve structured such that an area of magnetic pole is sufficiently ensured even if the moving core is made thinner in order to ensure a volume of a coil body in reducing the solenoid air valve in size can be provided.
