  • Patent number: 8797747
    Abstract: A control circuit is molded with a package portion and connected with first terminals. A wiring portion includes second terminals connected with the first terminals and partially molded with a molded portion. The molded portion includes a first fitting portion surrounding the control circuit. A cover portion includes a second fitting portion fitted to the first fitting portion to cover the control circuit. The first and second fitting portions form a gap therebetween. The gap extends in a crank form along a first direction and extends in a crank form along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 5, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2014

  • Patent number: 6715509
    Abstract: In an electromagnetic valve, a maximum distance between a movable core and a fixed core is set to be larger than a movable stroke of a movable rod moving together with the movable core. Therefore, a movable stroke of the movable core is set by a movable stroke of the movable rod, and the movable core always does not contact the fixed core. Accordingly, a vibration of the fixed core can be restricted and noise caused in the electromagnetic valve can be reduced. Further, because the movable core is movable without having an unnecessary moving stroke, a responsive performance of the electromagnetic valve relative to an electrical switching can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20030174034
    Abstract: In a solenoid valve device, a housing has a stopper formed on an inner wall of a fluid passage around an axial end of an accommodation bore. A valve seat member fixed to an inner circumferential wall of the fluid passage has a through-hole causing an input port to communicate with a drain port, a communication bore causing the through-hole to communicate with an output port and first and second valve seats formed around both ends of the through-hole, respectively. A movable member has a contact portion accommodated in the fluid passage between the stopper and the second valve seat. A ball is arranged on an opposite side to the contact portion with respect to the valve seat member. When the movable member moves with a movable core, the contact portion resting at the stopper or the second valve seat defines reciprocating moving stroke of the movable member.

  • Patent number: 6615869
    Abstract: A solenoid valve has a solenoid, a control valve having a spool, a seat member having an oil hole whose one end communicates with a control pressure chamber between the seat member and the spool, a supply passage through which a second supply port communicates via a control orifice with the control pressure chamber and a drain passage through which the other end of the oil hole is able to communicate with the second drain port. A second orifice or a slit, whose cross sectional opening area is smaller than that of the control orifice, is formed in the supply passage at a periphery of the seat member that comes in contact with the spool so that a flow amount of the oil supplied to and ejected from the control pressure chamber through the supply and drain passages after the spool contacts the seat member is smaller than that before the spool contacts the seat member.
