One area where the control pressure of a proportional solenoid valve can be calibrated is the magnetic force adjustment, where an armature position driven by the coil of the solenoid can be calibrated. A mounting bracket is secured to the housing adjacent to the pole piece and a valve sleeve is connected to the mounting bracket.Most vehicles generally incorporate a large number of electronically controlled systems, such as an automatic transmission controller.
One area of improvement for proportional valves hot rolled steel coil is providing a consistent control pressure. In order to provide magnetic force adjustments for magnetic calibrations, the valve sleeve is selectively positionable relative to the bracket so that the distance between the armature poppet valve and the seat surface is adjustable.
A movable armature is coaxially positioned within the bobbin in the chamber and has an armature poppet valve extending form a bottom end of the armature. The control valve includes a housing defining a chamber, where an electromagnetic coil is wound on a bobbin and is coaxially mounted within the housing.
Although the solenoid valve described in the '999 patent offers one technique for adjusting the air gap between the armature and the pole piece to provide magnetic calibration, this technique is also susceptible to the tolerances of the elastic washer, as well as including other disadvantages. Therefore, it is important to provide some kind of calibration of the valve at the manufacturing level of the valve so that the valve control is consistent.
The pole piece includes an extended annular ring positioned below the lower end of the armature such that the armature poppet valve extends through the ring.
As the controllers become more sophisticated, it is necessary that the solenoid operated fluid control valves also include advancements and improvements over the state of the art. These types of solenoid valves are referred to as bleed valves because they use a relatively low flow of fluid through the hydraulic portion of the valve. An armature spring is in contact with an upper end of the armature and a hot rolled steel coil top wall of the bobbin, where the spring positions the armature in an initial position when the coil is not energized and where the armature moves to a second position in conjunction with the bias of the armature spring when the coil is energized. Therefore, advancements in size, part reduction, component simplification, etc.
Proportional variable bleed solenoid valve that includes magnetic force adjustments to provide magnetic calibration. The valve sleeve includes a central bore axially aligned with the armature such that a bottom seal surface of the armature poppet valve seats against a valve seat surface of the valve when the coil is energized to seal off an exhaust port so that a supply pressure orifice connected to the valve sleeve provides a control pressure at a control pressure opening in the valve sleeve. of the existing solenoid operated fluid control valves. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in solenoid valves to provide a magnetic force adjustment for magnetic calibration. The proportional bleed solenoid valve provides a particular control pressure that is directly proportional to the current applied to the solenoid coil in the valve. A pole piece is mounted to the housing and is positioned adjacent to the lower end of the armature to define an air gap between the pole piece and the armature. In this regard, it becomes important to increase the operating efficiency, reduce the cost, reduce the weight, reduce the complexity, etc. Because the component tolerances in the control valves may vary from valve to valve, the control pressure may also vary from valve to valve at the same coil current.
