Apparatus and method to facilitate heat transfer fluid flow are disclosed herein. A flexible tube having first and second ends facilitates a heat transfer fluid to flow from the first end to the second end. Ferromagnetic material encircles at least an outside portion of a length of the flexible tube, and a plurality of coil windings encircles the ferromagnetic material. The flexible tube is to be compressed to reduce an amount of flow of the heat transfer fluid from the first end to the second end by expansion of the ferromagnetic material around the flexible tube, in response to an application of a current to the plurality of coil windings.

The present invention prevents that a diaphragm boss drops off from a diaphragm when a movable core is moved up. The present invention is a diaphragm type of solenoid valve including: a main body (10) having a diaphragm seating surface (12) in which a flow channel is opened; a diaphragm (23) configured to be seated on the diaphragm seating surface (12) of the main body (10); a diaphragm boss (22) holding the diaphragm (23); a movable core (21) holding the diaphragm boss (22); and a coil containing body (40) configured to apply an electromagnetic force to the movable core (21) in order to move the movable core in a direction away from the diaphragm seating surface (12) of the main body such that the diaphragm (23) is released from the diaphragm seating surface (12); wherein the diaphragm (23) is integrally formed with the diaphragm boss (22) by a baking process.

A drive circuit for controlling a solenoid valve having a solenoid coil and a poppet that translates therein is provided. The drive circuit includes a supply bus, a return bus, a flyback circuit, and a switch. The supply bus is configured to couple the solenoid coil to a power supply and supply a coil current. The return bus is configured to provide a ground path for the coil current. The flyback circuit is coupled in parallel to only the solenoid coil. The flyback circuit includes only a bipolar diode. The switch is coupled in series with the solenoid coil and configured to couple and decouple the solenoid coil to the return bus.

An actuator for controlling a fluid path includes an actuator having a seat part, either a fluid-valve membrane or a movable part, and a magnetorheological elastomer that changes form when a magnetic field changes. This causes the path to open or close.

A valve core with a flow-through rod, has a valve seat, a valve shell, a certain valve plate, a movable valve plate, a valve plate, a connecting piece, a flow penetrating rod, a blocking piece and a detent structure, wherein the detent structure is used for stopping reciprocating actuation of the blocking piece, so that the water pressure forms a difference change; and the valve piece is elastically driven to change whether water flows out outwards, and the connecting piece is connected with the movable valve piece, so that the movable valve piece can be locked to rotate, and the water flowing out of the outside can be adjusted and controlled.

The present invention controls the pressure and flow rate of fluid, in order to obtain uniform performance, configure a closed loop magnetic circuit so as to include an electromagnet, a flapper, and a yoke material, and elastically deform the flapper itself by Maxwell attractive force generated between a magnetic pole of the electromagnet and the flapper to make the separation distance between the nozzle and the flapper variable. As opposed to a rigid flapper structure that swingably moves around a supporting point, like a conventional servo valve, the electromagnet, the magnetic pole, the nozzle, the flapper, and the like are arranged such that a change in magnetic gap directly leads to a change in air gap.

An electromagnetic valve has an inlet port and an outlet port. The electromagnetic valve is configured to open and close a driving fluid passage communicating the inlet port and the outlet port. The electromagnetic valve includes: a housing; a solenoid that includes a bobbin having a coil wound therearound; a moving core that is provided on an axis of the bobbin and is disposed movably in an axial direction; a stationary core that is provided on the axis of the bobbin and is fixed in the housing; and a valve that is configured to be movable together with the moving core and opens and closes the driving fluid passage. The inlet port is opened on one surface side of the housing in the axial direction of the bobbin while the outlet port is opened on the other surface side of the housing in the axial direction of the bobbin.

The present invention prevents that a diaphragm boss drops off from a diaphragm when a movable core is moved up. The present invention is a diaphragm type of solenoid valve including: a main body (10) having a diaphragm seating surface (12) in which a flow channel is opened; a diaphragm (23) configured to be seated on the diaphragm seating surface (12) of the main body (10); a diaphragm boss (22) holding the diaphragm (23); a movable core (21) holding the diaphragm boss (22); and a coil containing body (40) configured to apply an electromagnetic force to the movable core (21) in order to move the movable core in a direction away from the diaphragm seating surface (12) of the main body such that the diaphragm (23) is released from the diaphragm seating surface (12); wherein the diaphragm (23) is integrally formed with the diaphragm boss (22) by a baking process.

The present invention intends to make it hard to distort a diaphragm at the time of assembling in a fluid control valve structured to screw a screw member to a plunger. The fluid control valve that makes an actuator move a valve body installed movably in a contacting/separating direction with respect to a valve seat includes: the plunger that is interposed between the valve body and the actuator to transfer the power of the actuator to the valve body; and the diaphragm connected to the circumferential surface of the plunger. In addition, the plunger includes: a first division body connected to the diaphragm; and a second division body that is arranged on an actuator side of the first division body and to which the screw member is screwed. Further, the second division body is configured to be rotatable with respect to the first division body in its circumferential direction.

Provided is a combination structure of an electronic water valve including an electromagnetic unit including a coil body and a yoke having an upper support plate and a lower support plate and which includes a valve body including an upper member and a lower member. The combination structure includes a locking long hole formed in each of opposite sides of the lower support plate, an elastic pressing rod that protrudes, a protrusion locking rod formed on each of opposite sides of an upper portion of the upper member, and a burr blocking member which is formed on an outer circumference of the upper member and which prevents a welding burr from being exposed to an outside of an outer circumference of the valve body through a gap of a friction welding portion, the welding burr being generated when friction welding of the upper member and the lower member is performed.
