Solenoid Having Plural Coils Patents (Class 251/129.09)
  • Patent number: 6484998
    Abstract: A solenoid valve (50) has a valve housing (51) with a valve slide (53) in which two magnets, with one pole (1) each, are inserted. The poles (1) each have a coil core (8, 9) which extends along a longitudinal axis (10) and in which in each case one armature tappet (17), which activates one end of the valve slide (53) with an activation end (27), is provided. Arranged on each armature tappet (17) is a magnet armature (23) which has two armature side faces (24, 25) which extend obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis (10). The coil core (8, 9) has two core side faces (12, 19) which extend parallel to one armature side face (24, 25) in each case.

  • Patent number: 6313726
    Abstract: An electromagnet (1), particularly a proportional magnet for operating a hydraulic valve, said electromagnet (1) comprising at least one coil winding (3) carried by a hollow cylindrical coil spool (2) which is circumferentially surrounded by a hollow cylindrical magnet housing (4) and limited at each end by a pole shoe (5, 6), said electromagnet (1) further comprising an axially moveable cylindrical armature (8) which is arranged in a hollow cylinder of the coil spool (2) that is configured as an armature space (7), the armature (8) being mounted for low friction in rotary, longitudinally moveable axial guides, and electromagnetically produced axial movements of the armature (8) can be transmitted to a hydraulic valve piston via a push rod (10) which is connected to the armature (8) to form an axial extension thereof.

  • Publication number: 20010030307
    Abstract: A variable reluctance solenoid includes an armature and a yoke located axially beyond one end of the armature. Magnetic attraction across an axial gap between the armature and yoke causes the armature to move axially and close the gap. The armature includes ferromagnetic laminations lying in a plane perpendicular to the axial direction. These laminations may include slots, proportioned and directed to combat eddy currents and reduce moving mass while avoiding creation of flux bottlenecks. The solenoid may have two yokes on opposite sides of the armature, providing reciprocating armature motion.

  • Patent number: 6302341
    Abstract: An injector for supplying fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine comprising an injector body having a fuel supplying port connected to a fuel rail, a nozzle port injecting the fuel and a fuel passage connecting the fuel supplying port and the nozzle port; two solenoids are mounted in the injector body along the fuel passage; and two spools elastically supported by two springs are mounted in each of the solenoid 10, 20 respectively and opens or closes selectively the fuel supplying port 110 and the nozzle port 120; wherein, when the fuel is supplied from the fuel rail into the injection body, one spool for supplying the fuel opens the fuel supplying port and the other spool for injecting the fuel closes the nozzle port, whereas when the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, the spool for supplying the fuel closes the fuel supplying port and the other spool for injecting the fuel opens the nozzle port.

  • Patent number: 6299129
    Abstract: In a device wherein a rotary shaft is provided in a pipe through which a fluid is passed, a butterfly valve is installed in the pipe, an actuator and an angle sensor are directly arranged on the outer end of the pipe of the rotary shaft, and angle control for adjusting an angle detection signal to a command value is performed to thereby adjust an amount of a fluid passing through the pipe. An actuator includes a rotor composed of a permanent magnet rotatably supported by the rotary shaft and has two magnetic poles, namely, N and S poles, and a stator composed of a winding wrapped around a cylindrical core formed of a soft magnetic member.
