Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は流体通路を開閉するための電磁弁に関し、詳しくは、弁開閉時の衝突音を低減することができる電磁弁に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
流体通路の開閉に利用される電磁弁の、弁開閉時の衝突音を低減するための構成については、実開昭57−117474号公報、特開平7−224962号公報等で公知である。前記公報によれば、弁体が着座するときの弁体の弁座当接側および弁体が離座するときの弁体のストッパ当接側に、弾性部材を設けることにより、弁体が弁座およびストッパに衝突するときの衝突音を低減するとしている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、弁座当接側に設けられた弾性部材は、閉弁時の衝突音の低減と耐久性の確保の両面から所定の硬度が必要とされ、この硬度を高く確保すると衝突音の低減に対しては不十分な場合がある。すなわち、衝突音を低減させるためには硬度を下げる方が効果的であり、耐久性を確保するためには硬度を上げる方が効果的であり、両方を満足させるためには硬度の選択範囲が限定され、衝突音の低減には不十分な場合がある。また、弁体が開弁時に当接する個所に設けられる弾性部材についても、閉弁時と同様に所定硬度以上の場合には、衝突音の低減に対しては不十分な場合がある。そこで本発明は、閉弁時の弁体の当接部に設けられる弾性部材(弁板)の硬度に影響されずに閉弁時の衝突音を低減することができる電磁弁を提供することを課題とする。同時に、開弁時の衝突音の低減も図ることを第2の課題とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記課題の解決を目的としてなされた請求項1の発明は、電磁駆動される弁体が弁座に当接、離間することにより流体通路を開閉する電磁弁において、前記弁体を構成するホルダと弾性部材からなる弁板との間に緩衝部材を挟着するとともに、前記弁板の前記緩衝部材側の面上に複数の同心円状の突起部を設け、前記緩衝部材との間に空気層を形成したことを特徴とする。また、請求項2の発明は、前記緩衝部材が硬度40°未満の発泡ゴム製としたことを特徴とする。また、請求項3の発明は、前記弁体を構成するプランジャが開弁時に当接する個所に、硬度40°未満の発泡ゴム製の弾性部材を設けたことを特徴とする。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の望ましい実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。図1は本発明の一実施形態にかかる電磁弁の縦断面図である。図1において、電磁弁1は通路部1aを構成する樹脂製の通路ハウジング2と、弁部1bを構成する弁体3を駆動するための電磁アクチュエータ部1cおよび電源を供給するためのコネクタ部1dを構成し、2次モールドにより形成される樹脂製のコイルハウジング4からなる。通路ハウジング2には流体の流入口2aと流出口2bが設けられ、両者の間の通路2cに弁部1bが構成され、電磁駆動により通路2cを開閉する。流入口2aは大気へ、流出口2bは内燃機関の各通路、例えばキャニスタあるいは吸気通路(何れも図示せず)等に接続されるよう構成されている。流入口2aの内壁の延長線上に弁部1bを構成する弁座2eが通路ハウジング2に一体または一体的に形成されている。
【0006】
弁部1bを構成する弁体3は、ホルダ7の突起部7aに嵌合され止め具8で固定された、硬度70°(70IRHD)のゴム製の弾性部材からなる弁板9および後述する緩衝部材5と、ホルダ7に遊嵌されたロッド10および、スプリング19によりロッド10の下端部で押圧されるプランジャ11から成り、ロッド10はプレート12にカシメ付けられたステータ13の中心を遊動できるよう構成されている。緩衝部材5は衝突音の低減のため緩衝材として機能し、材質としては例えば気泡構造を持ち柔軟性に富む発泡ゴム等、低硬度化しやすい硬度20°〜40°未満の材料が使用される。弁板9の緩衝部材5側の面上には複数(本実施形態では2本)の同心円状の突起部9a、9bが設けられ、緩衝部材5と重ね合わせられることにより、突起部9a、9bと緩衝部材5とにより隙間に空気層9cが形成される。すなわち、空気層9cは弁板9の弁座2eとの当接部分の裏側に形成されるよう配置されている。2本の同心円状の突起部9a、9bは、組付性を考慮して弁板9の弁座2e側の面上にも設け、弁板9の表裏の識別作業を省略するようにしても、衝突音の低減効果は同じであり支障はない。なお、突起部9a、9bはゴム製の弁板9の嵌合部(中央部)からの洩れ防止機能も果たす。
【0007】
弁体3はスプリング19により開弁方向に付勢されている。プレート12はボビン14とともにコイルハウジング4と通路ハウジング2により挟持されている。ボビン14にはコイル15が巻回されコイル15の一端はコネクタ部1dのターミナル16に接続され(図示せず)他端はアースされて(図示せず)通電される。ボビン14の下部には金属製のヨーク17が設けられ、金属製のステータ13およびプレート12とともに閉磁路を形成する。プランジャ11およびボビン14の間には弾性部材18が設けられ、弁体3の開弁時にプランジャ11が当接するよう構成されている。弾性部材18はボビン14に設けられた突起部14aに嵌合されて固定される。弾性部材18は硬度40°未満の発泡ゴムにより形成されている。
【0008】
次に本実施形態の作用について図1を参照して説明する。ターミナル16を介してコイル15に通電されるとプレート12、ステータ13、プランジャ11、ヨーク17とにより閉磁路が形成され、プランジャ11が上に引き上げられるので弁体3はスプリング19に抗して上方に移動し弁座2eに当接して通路2cを閉じる。この時、緩衝部材5により弁板9は柔軟に受けとめられ緩衝されることにより弁板9の衝突音が低減される。同時に、弁板9と緩衝部材5の間に設けられた空気層9cの空気層分だけ緩衝部材5が変形して緩衝され、弁板9の閉弁時の衝突音がさらに低減される。通電が止まり、弁体3がスプリング19に押されて弁座2eを離れると、弁体3はスプリング19の押圧力により下方に移動し、プランジャ11が弾性部材18に衝突するが、発泡ゴム製の弾性部材18により衝突エネルギが吸収され弁体3は柔軟に受けとめられるので、開弁時の衝突音が低減される。上記の仕様では、従来に比較し開閉弁時の衝突音が約10dB低減した。なお、発泡ゴム製の弾性部材18の硬度は、スプリング19の押圧力による弱い衝突であるため、緩衝部材5の硬度よりも高い傾向にある。
【0009】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上述のように構成されているので以下の効果を奏する。すなわち、請求項1の発明においては、弁板とホルダの間に緩衝部材を介在させるとともに、弁板の緩衝部材側の面上に複数の同心円状の突起部を設けて空気層を形成したので、弁体が弁座に衝突したとき、緩衝部材により弁板を柔軟に受けとめて緩衝すると同時に、緩衝部材が空気層分だけ変形して緩衝するので、閉弁時の衝突音が弾性部材からなる弁板の硬度に影響されずに低減される。また、請求項2の発明においては、緩衝部材として発泡ゴムを使用することにより、低硬度の部材を容易に製造することができる。また、請求項3の発明においては、弁体を構成するプランジャが開弁時に当接する個所に設けられる弾性部材を、硬度40°未満の発泡ゴム製としたので、衝突時に衝突エネルギを吸収して弁体を柔軟に受けとめるよう作用するため、開弁時の衝突音が十分に低減される。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an electromagnetic valve for opening and closing a fluid passage, and more particularly to an electromagnetic valve capable of reducing a collision sound when the valve is opened and closed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The structure for reducing the collision noise at the time of opening and closing the solenoid valve used for opening and closing the fluid passage is known in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-117474, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-224962, and the like. According to the publication, an elastic member is provided on the valve seat contact side of the valve body when the valve body is seated and on the stopper contact side of the valve body when the valve body is seated, so that the valve body is The collision noise when colliding with the seat and the stopper is reduced.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the elastic member provided on the valve seat abutment side requires a certain degree of hardness from both sides to reduce the impact noise when the valve is closed and to ensure durability, and securing this hardness high reduces the impact noise. In some cases, this is insufficient. That is, it is more effective to lower the hardness to reduce the impact sound, it is more effective to increase the hardness to ensure durability, and there is a range of hardness selection to satisfy both. Limited and may not be sufficient to reduce impact noise. Also, the elastic member provided at the location where the valve body abuts when the valve is opened may be insufficient for reducing the collision noise if the elastic member has a predetermined hardness or more as in the case of closing the valve. Therefore, the present invention provides an electromagnetic valve that can reduce a collision sound when the valve is closed without being affected by the hardness of an elastic member (valve plate) provided at the contact portion of the valve body when the valve is closed. Let it be an issue. At the same time, a second problem is to reduce the collision noise when the valve is opened.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 is directed to an electromagnetic valve that opens and closes a fluid passage when an electromagnetically driven valve body abuts on and separates from a valve seat; and a holder that constitutes the valve body; A buffer member is sandwiched between the valve plate made of an elastic member, a plurality of concentric protrusions are provided on the surface of the valve plate on the buffer member side, and an air layer is formed between the buffer member and the buffer plate. It is formed. The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the buffer member is made of foamed rubber having a hardness of less than 40 °. The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that an elastic member made of foam rubber having a hardness of less than 40 ° is provided at a position where the plunger constituting the valve body contacts when the valve is opened.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a solenoid valve according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, an electromagnetic valve 1 includes a resin-made passage housing 2 constituting a passage portion 1a, an electromagnetic actuator portion 1c for driving a valve body 3 constituting a valve portion 1b, and a connector portion 1d for supplying power. And a coil housing 4 made of resin formed by secondary molding. The passage housing 2 is provided with a fluid inlet 2a and an outlet 2b, and a valve portion 1b is formed in the passage 2c between the two, and opens and closes the passage 2c by electromagnetic drive. The inflow port 2a is connected to the atmosphere, and the outflow port 2b is connected to each passage of the internal combustion engine, for example, a canister or an intake passage (both not shown). A valve seat 2e constituting the valve portion 1b is integrally or integrally formed with the passage housing 2 on an extension line of the inner wall of the inflow port 2a.
[0006]
The valve body 3 constituting the valve portion 1b includes a valve plate 9 made of a rubber elastic member having a hardness of 70 ° (70IRHD) and fitted to the protrusion 7a of the holder 7 and fixed by a stopper 8, and a buffer described later. It consists of a member 5, a rod 10 loosely fitted to the holder 7, and a plunger 11 pressed at the lower end of the rod 10 by a spring 19, so that the rod 10 can move freely in the center of the stator 13 that is crimped to the plate 12. It is configured. The shock-absorbing member 5 functions as a shock-absorbing material for reducing the impact sound. As the material, for example, a material having a hardness of 20 ° to less than 40 °, such as foamed rubber having a bubble structure and high flexibility, is used. A plurality (two in this embodiment) of concentric protrusions 9 a and 9 b are provided on the surface of the valve plate 9 on the buffer member 5 side, and the protrusions 9 a and 9 b are overlapped with the buffer member 5. And the buffer member 5 form an air layer 9 c in the gap. That is, the air layer 9c is disposed so as to be formed on the back side of the contact portion of the valve plate 9 with the valve seat 2e. The two concentric protrusions 9a and 9b are also provided on the surface of the valve plate 9 on the valve seat 2e side in consideration of the assemblability, and the identification work on the front and back of the valve plate 9 is omitted. The impact noise reduction effect is the same and there is no problem. The protrusions 9a and 9b also function to prevent leakage from the fitting portion (central portion) of the rubber valve plate 9.
[0007]
The valve body 3 is urged in the valve opening direction by a spring 19. The plate 12 is sandwiched between the coil housing 4 and the passage housing 2 together with the bobbin 14. A coil 15 is wound around the bobbin 14, one end of the coil 15 is connected to the terminal 16 of the connector portion 1d (not shown), and the other end is grounded (not shown) and energized. A metal yoke 17 is provided below the bobbin 14 and forms a closed magnetic circuit together with the metal stator 13 and the plate 12. An elastic member 18 is provided between the plunger 11 and the bobbin 14 so that the plunger 11 abuts when the valve body 3 is opened. The elastic member 18 is fitted and fixed to a protrusion 14 a provided on the bobbin 14. The elastic member 18 is made of foamed rubber having a hardness of less than 40 °.
[0008]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. When the coil 15 is energized through the terminal 16, a closed magnetic path is formed by the plate 12, the stator 13, the plunger 11, and the yoke 17, and the plunger 11 is pulled upward, so that the valve element 3 moves upward against the spring 19. To contact the valve seat 2e and close the passage 2c. At this time, the valve plate 9 is flexibly received and buffered by the buffer member 5, so that the collision sound of the valve plate 9 is reduced. At the same time, the buffer member 5 is deformed and buffered by the air layer of the air layer 9c provided between the valve plate 9 and the buffer member 5, and the collision sound when the valve plate 9 is closed is further reduced. When energization is stopped and the valve body 3 is pushed by the spring 19 and leaves the valve seat 2e, the valve body 3 moves downward by the pressing force of the spring 19 and the plunger 11 collides with the elastic member 18, but it is made of foam rubber. Since the collision energy is absorbed by the elastic member 18 and the valve body 3 is flexibly received, the collision noise when the valve is opened is reduced. In the above specifications, the collision noise at the time of the on-off valve is reduced by about 10 dB compared to the conventional specification. The hardness of the elastic member 18 made of foam rubber tends to be higher than the hardness of the buffer member 5 because it is a weak collision due to the pressing force of the spring 19.
[0009]
【The invention's effect】
Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exist the following effects. That is, in the first aspect of the present invention, the buffer member is interposed between the valve plate and the holder, and the air layer is formed by providing a plurality of concentric protrusions on the surface of the valve plate on the buffer member side. When the valve body collides with the valve seat, the buffer plate is flexibly received and buffered by the buffer member, and at the same time, the buffer member is deformed and buffered by the air layer, so that the collision sound at the time of closing is made of an elastic member It is reduced without being affected by the hardness of the valve plate. In the invention of claim 2, a low hardness member can be easily manufactured by using foamed rubber as the buffer member. In the invention of claim 3, since the elastic member provided at the position where the plunger constituting the valve body abuts when the valve is opened is made of foamed rubber having a hardness of less than 40 °, the collision energy is absorbed at the time of collision. Since the valve element acts so as to be received flexibly, the collision noise when the valve is opened is sufficiently reduced.
