Plastic bobbin 34 provides a framework, is positioned with a plurality of elements as described below on this framework.Plastic bobbin 34 forms chamber 26 and inlet pin-and-hole 28.Inlet pin-and-hole 28 extends through the platform part 36 of protuberance, and is as described below.
Moveable magnetic armature 32 is positioned in the plastic bobbin 34, can be along the direction up-and-down movement of the arrow A of Fig. 1, and as described below.Plastic bobbin 34 also provides the position for the copper winding 38 that forms a solenoidal part.Formed with the following iron frame 40b that contacts with last iron frame 40a by the last iron frame 40a on the outside that is positioned at plastic bobbin 34 and to be used for solenoidal magnetic circuit.Iron crimping 40c is the part of upward iron frame 40a and is used for the remainder of last iron frame 40a and following iron frame 40b and switch portion 10 is kept together.
Usually, switch portion 10 is the battery powered solenoid valves that are used to control the sprinkling of fluid.Switch portion 10 is designed to the fluid discharging from for example aerosol can is controlled, and this aerosol can is by precharge and be equipped with the continuous type blowoff valve.
Switch portion 10 comprises complete bobbin housing and aerosol interface chamber element 13, and the bobbin housing has by the magnetic circuit of battery (not shown) by 38 excitations of electric coil winding.Bobbin 34 forms the framework of switch portion 10, and for providing passage with fluid from the outlet 42 that aerosol container 14 is transported to switch portion 10.Copper coil 38 is reeled so that magnetic pumping to be provided around bobbin 34.Last iron frame 40a and following iron frame 40b are fixed on the plastic bobbin 34 to form complete magnetic circuit.Be provided with pin-and-hole 28 in the bottom of bobbin 34, this pin-and-hole 28 provides interface channel between aerosol interface chamber 26 and bobbin housing 34.
Primary seal element 30 forms smooth floating seal between the moveable magnetic armature 32 of pin-and-hole 28 and formation plunger.Primary seal element 30 provides actv. pin-and-hole packing element.Centrally-located at last iron frame 40a has egress hole 42, is used for fluid is disposed to surrounding air.
Get back to the base portion of switching device in more detail, opening 16 is parts of aerosol interface chamber element 13, and has the cylindrical shape that band is expanded opening slightly for the bar 12 that receives aerosol can 14 better.Bar 12 by means of the face sealing of the end of opening 16 and face seal element 20 and with the O shape ring sealing of O shape ring 18 and sealing near switch portion 10, O shape ring 18 is slightly inwardly outstanding from the inside face of opening cylinder 16.These sealings all are arranged to prevent the content leaks of aerosol can 14.
Interface chamber is by utilizing bolt 15 (seeing Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) to form by the plastic components 13 that ultrasonic welding is fastened to bobbin 34, and bolt 15 passes interface chamber element 13 from bobbin 34 and gives prominence to.These protrusions are arranged in each place, angle of the square shaped top of interface chamber element 13.Two bolts 15 on relative angle, diagonal angle are bigger than other two bolts, and are arranged for and easily locate interface chamber element 13 and bobbin 34.Welding has guaranteed that time iron frame 40b is fastened between bobbin 34 and the following interface element 13.Last iron frame 40a and following iron frame 40b carry out crimping and are bonded together by exerting pressure to the outward flange of iron crimping 40c as mentioned above, for example see Fig. 2.
In use, switch portion is fastened to aerosol can 14, and the bar 12 of aerosol can 14 is received in the opening 16 as mentioned above.Aerosol can 14 has the valve of continuous blow-down type, and bar 12 is depressed the material that just means from aerosol can 14 by switch portion 10 and can be left this jar and enter chamber 26 and rise to primary seal element 30.Prevent that by O shape ring 18 and face seal element 20 material from leaking out opening 16 from aerosol can.Opening 24 in the face seal element 20 allows material to enter chamber 26 and rise to primary seal element 30 along inlet pin-and-hole 28 from described jar.This advantage that has is that switch portion 10 is controlled discharging fully, rather than the valve of aerosol can 14 control discharging.
As shown in Figure 4, primary seal element 30 by from the pressure biased downward of moveable magnetic armature 32 on the platform part 36 of protuberance, by the spring 44 downward application of forces, spring 44 will be explained in more detail moveable magnetic armature 32 below again.Not to coil winding 38 power supplies the time, present this structure.
When needs during from aerosol can 14 exhaust fluid, apply electric current to coil 38, make the structure that moveable magnetic armature 32 is shown in Figure 5 owing to magnetic induction moves to like this.Direction of current in the coil 38 be chosen to make moveable magnetic armature 32 when power supply towards opening 42 upward movements.Thereby primary seal element 30 can be away from pin-and-hole 28 motions, and this makes pressure fluid to enter the cavity that magnetic armature 32 is arranged in from chamber 26, flows out in the ambient atmosphere around the side of magnetic armature 32 and towards opening 42.Below the further feature of switch portion 10 will be described in further detail.
Above-mentioned magnetic circuit is formed by the last iron frame 40a of U-shaped.Last iron frame 40a cooperates with smooth following iron frame 40b, and following iron frame 40b is square substantially, just has the otch (see figure 2) that receives flanging part 40c.Following iron frame has the central opening that receives a part of plastic bobbin 34.Moveable magnetic armature 32 projects to down in the opening in the iron frame, thereby forms complete magnetic circuit.Following iron frame 40b is designed to thicker than last iron frame 40a, so that the magnetic resistance minimum between two framework 40a, 40b and the magnetic armature 32.Central opening among the underframe 40b is circular, so that can there be uniform flux coupling between underframe 40b and the magnetic armature 32.
Because fluid rises to outlet 42 through the side of magnetic armature 32, thus the magnetic material in the switch portion should be chosen as guarantee they with will be compatible by the chemicals of switch portion 10.And described material must have enough relative permeabilities and mechanical strength and stability.Employed magnetic material is: frame section 40a, 40b, 40c are the soft iron that is coated with nickel, and armature 32 is the magnetic grade stainless steel.
The upper surface of magnetic armature 32 has central recess 43 receiving spring 44, thereby makes the gap minimum between the inside face of armature 32 and last iron frame 40a.
The design characteristics that is adopted when selecting to be used for the material of winding coil is: provide enough electromagnetic forcees to armature 32, and can be by standard alkaline type battery-operated and make battery can have enough life-spans.And winding must provide enough fast response time and size less.The scope of the design plan in the proposal is to use the line of 29 or 30 specifications, has about 150-250 circle.This provides ampere turn value between 300 and 450, less than 2 amperes maximum currents with less than the response time of 5ms.Usually use AA type battery.
As mentioned above, last iron frame 40a is combined with flow guide channel.This passage allows material top from aerosol can 14 around armature 32 to flow to overflow or passes spring 44 and pass egress hole 42.
Spring 44 is cone shape when not compressing, and forms spiral-shaped in the recess 43 that is assemblied in the armature 32 in when compression.The benefit of conical design is that when being compressed spring only has the degree of depth of a circle, thus the just minimum extra height of its increase.This allows to use less recess, and this compares with big recess and helps to make total magnetic resistance of magnetic circuit only to increase minimum bonus values.The diameter of spring is made for littler than the diameter of armature 32, and this provides better magnetic circuit again.Spring 44 provides only vertically the motion and cone shape the self-centering spring that the uncertain radial motion minimum that makes armature 32 is provided of armature 32.The minimized in size of recess 43, this helps only to allow less space to be used for keeping undesirably fluid from aerosol can 14.Yet this maintenance has some advantages really, that is, some maintained fluid will evaporate and form the zone of saturation of fragrant air, this means the initial boosting output that can have device when next time starting.
Spring 44 provides the power in the 100-150gm scope, then when considering the time constant of spring 44, need the power of approximate 300 grams to come the power of antagonistic spring in short response time that armature 32 is upwards promoted, for example above-mentioned less than 5mm.The degree of depth of spring is approximately 2mm when compressing fully.
As mentioned above, force the platform part 36 of primary seal element 30 downwardly against protuberance thereby the power of spring 44 promotes armature 32 downwards, platform part 36 is a frusto-conical.Benefit with platform part 36 of protuberance be to provide primary seal element 30 should be against the leak free small surface area.This needs less spring force, because want effective leak free area less.Have been found that be favourable against the sealing load of the primary seal of raised platform section 36 up to 13 crust.Such benefit is to have guaranteed effective seal on the whole scope of exerting pressure of various types of aerosol cans 14.And, fail-safe mechanism is provided when aerosol is overheated.For example, aerosol may explode when the pressure on the primary seal element 30 surpasses 15 crust, but this that yes in this device that exhaust is discharged overvoltage in 13 Palestine and Israels is impossible.In addition, since there is the power of required about 300 grams, realize the power that valve is opened just needs minimum.And, because utilize above-mentioned design can realize useful high sealing pressure, so the platform part 36 of protuberance makes this device can pass through powered battery.
Primary seal element 30 is designed to float between the raised platform section 35 of the part of the bottom of armature 32 and formation plastic bobbin 34.The favourable part of float design is such fact, that is, primary seal element 30 is three-dimensional expansion when contacting with used some chemical propellants in the aerosol can 14.Optionally, the distortion of generation may not can cause the bending of primary seal element 30, and this is because there be the optional protrusion of plastic bobbin towards primary seal element 30.The existence in protrusion and the corresponding gap between them makes primary seal element 30 can be expanded in the gap between the protrusion.
The maximum air gap of allowing that the amount of exercise of being allowed based on maximum distortion, required compression ratio, production tolerance and the armature 32 of sealing limits is selected the thickness of major component 30.Air gap in the size at the base portion place of primary seal element 30 between 0.18mm and 0.45mm.This air gap limits the amount of travel of armature 32.Benefit with the air gap between above-mentioned size is: the fluid that allows to carry from aerosol can 14 reliably q.s, allow acceptable sealed expansion and compression property, amount of exercise enough little make described device can be by battery power supply easily and allowing according to consistent sprinkling the regularly, because little amount of travel has more manageable response time.
Inlet pin-and-hole 28 is based on following parameter designing: aerosol pressure (usually between 3 and 10 crust) and come the comparison of the required sealing force of autonomous element; The comparison of the power that must apply and consider to seal hardness based on the compression ratio and the spring 44 of packing element 30; In addition, necessary consideration tight tolerance also must be considered the comparison of the thickness of expansion (under above-mentioned chemical erosion) and primary seal element 30; At last, from the elastic force of spring 44 and the comparison of resisting the required electric power of this elastic force.
Interface chamber 13 provides the element that separates with bobbin 34, is used for the boundary of switch portion 10 and aerosol can 14.This benefit that provides is that the operation of bobbin 34 is not subjected to the influence of the insertion of aerosol can 14; And assembled more direct and worked as.Therefore, the stability that has kept above-mentioned air gap.In addition, the convenient and reliable means of utilizing ultrasonic welding that switch portion 10 is combined with locating dowel pin 15 have been obtained to be used to.Locating dowel pin 15 is positioned at the place, four angles of the base portion of bobbin 34, and is received in the corresponding opening of aerosol interface chamber element 13.In Fig. 1, can see that pin 15 is outstanding from aerosol interface chamber element 13, however this outstanding optional.Pin 15 is arranged at the diameter of two pins at relative angle place more bigger than two pins locating at other angle.This advantageously allows aerosol interface chamber element 13 correctly to locate with respect to bobbin 34.
The benefit that provides monomer plastic bobbin 34 to have leak free design is because unique outlet of bobbin (is intended to the position of ejected matter) in the top or lower end (material is by the position of pin-and-hole 28).And the bobbin 34 with monomer makes that manufacturing is easier and more cheap.On the upside of plastic bobbin 34, be provided with crushable packing element, the sealing element is around the form of the ring of the top surface of bobbin 34.This crushable packing element presses the inside face on the top of iron frame 40a, to prevent from the material lateral leakage of aerosol can and to enter the zone that is positioned with coil 38.
The material that is used for bobbin 34 is POM, PA (having/no glass filling and PPS), and all these materials all obtain easily for engineering worker.The distortion that produces under the erosion of the accelerator that these materials maintenance mechanically robusts and they may be contained in aerosol can etc. within the acceptable range.Other standard comprises size and the strength stability under temperature stability, the high humidity environment and the imparting a smooth finish and the formability that are used to make pin-and-hole 28.
For primary seal element 30, used material such as buna (RTM), viton (RTM), silicon and poly-chloroprene rubber.Design standard comprises: with compatibility, hardness and the hardness change under chemical erosion of chemicals that may be by primary seal element 30, force compresses than relation, in the upperlimit deviation under the chemical erosion and fatigue characteristic under repeated stock and temperature stability.The hardness of material is chosen as the A level material of Shure scale value in 60-80 degree scope.
