Abstract: A fuel injection valve comprises: a solenoid unit including a core, an armature and a coil; and a valve unit including a valve element connected to the armature to travel therewith, and a valve seat that regulates a movement in valve closing direction of the valve element, and is open and closed by the valve element separating from or coming in contact with the valve seat, and a stopper for regulating a movement in valve opening direction of the valve element, said valve unit being connected to the solenoid unit. There is provided a cavity that communicates with a gap formed between the core and the armature in opposition, and the cavity forms a resonator for suppressing bounce of the valve element. In spite of the simple structure, it is possible to effectively suppress bounce of the valve element that takes place at the time of valve opening/closing.

Abstract: A valve comprises an electromagnetic actuator including a solenoid. The solenoid includes at least one core and an anchor plate. The solenoid further comprises at least one coil disposed within the core and connected to a set of power electronics to supply current to the coils. The actuator further comprises a plunger connected to the anchor plate and at least one spring configured to guide the plunger. The actuator also includes a pressure compensation system. The opening and closing of the valve is controlled by passing current through the coil.

Abstract: A normally open hydraulic control valve includes: a linear solenoid unit; a spool driven by an output force of the linear solenoid unit to move forward; a valve body in which the spool is fitted; and a return spring for biasing the spool in a retreating direction. The valve body includes: a reaction force oil chamber for introducing hydraulic pressure, which presses the spool in a direction against a biasing force of the return spring, from the output port; and a damper oil chamber which suppresses vibration of the spool. The damper oil chamber is adjacent to the reaction force oil chamber with the third land portion of the spool therebetween. A slide gap which leaks and supplies oil from the reaction force oil chamber to the damper oil chamber is provided between the third land portion and the valve body.

Abstract: A pressure reservoir is used to exert pressure on a hydraulic system with which, a gas exchange valve, for instance, of an internal combustion engine can be actuated. The pressure reservoir includes a housing and a piston that is prestressed in operation by a device. To enable making the pressure reservoir as small as possible, it is proposed that the device which prestresses the piston of the pressure reservoir has a characteristic force-travel curve, in one range of motion of the piston, that has a slope which differs from the slope in a different range of motion of the piston.

Abstract: A relief valve, including a case having an inner bore, and an opening defining an outlet; a valve seat adjacent to a forward end of the case, the valve seat defining an inlet, a plunger slidably disposed within the case and pressed forward by a spring to shut off fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet, a piston slidably disposed within the case, and slidably receiving the plunger, the piston being configured for pushing forward a rear end of the spring, and which piston moves forward with the increase in the pressure at the inlet to compress the spring, thereby regulating a relief pressure, wherein the piston further comprises a first sliding portion configured for sliding with liquidtightness in the inner bore of case, and a sliding bore formed along a central axis of the piston, a rear portion of the plunger slidably inserted and fitted in the sliding bore formed along a central axis of the piston, and the plunger further comprising a through hole configured for feeding a pressurized liquid fr

Abstract: An electrically controlled flow regulator valve assembly having a diaphragm operated pressure regulator valve with a solenoid operated valve for by-passing the diaphragm to control flow to the regulator valving chamber. In one embodiment the regulator valving chamber communicates through a small restricting orifice with a closed dampening chamber. In another embodiment a second closed dampening chamber is formed to communicate through a second small restrictive orifice with a chamber on the inlet pressure side of the diaphragm.

Abstract: A diaphragm type flow regulator has an electrically operated bleed valve to control fluid signal pressure in a chamber on one side of the diaphragm. A valve member mounted on the opposite side of the diaphragm is moved, in response to the difference in pressure between the signal chamber and a flow regulating chamber, with respect to a valve seat for controlling flow of a compressible fluid between an inlet and outlet in the flow regulating chamber. An auxiliary chamber communicates with the flow regulating chamber through a restricting orifice which function to dampen or attenuate diaphragm vibration caused by pressure pulses or transients which may occur in the fluid supply conduit. In one arrangement the auxiliary chamber is formed as part of the regulator housing. In other arrangements, the auxiliary chamber is formed as part of a separate fitting attached to the regulator flow regulating chamber inlet.

Abstract: A valve for use in a fuel injector includes a moveable valve member disposed in a first chamber and an armature coupled to the valve member and reciprocally disposed in a second chamber which dampens the motion of the valve member when fluid is present in the second chamber. A fluid passageway extends into the second chamber and delivers fluid to the second chamber while a further fluid passageway drains fluid from the second chamber when the fluid within the second chamber reaches a predetermined level.

Abstract: In a well safety valve for controlling the fluid flow through a well conduit in which the valve has a housing and a flow tube controlling a valve element, the improvement in means for opening and closing the valve. A gas chamber is positioned in the housing with a fluid passageway positioned between the gas chamber and a port for receiving fluid pressure from the well surface for increasing the pressure of the gas in the chamber. One or more pistons are movably positioned in the passageway between the gas chamber and the port with the pistons restricting but allowing fluid flow through the passageway. The pistons are connected to the flow tube whereby when pressure on the port side of the pistons is reduced compressed gas in the gas chamber will act on the fluid in the gas chamber side of the piston to move the pistons in a direction to close the valve. A check valve may be in parallel with the pistons for quickly pressuring the gas chamber.
