Description

TECHNICAL FILED

The present invention relates to a manifold type solenoid valve assembly in which a plurality of solenoid valves is mounted on a manifold base.

BACKGROUND ART

Various manifold type solenoid valve assemblies in which a plurality of solenoid valves is mounted on a manifold base which has common fluid flow paths for supplying and discharging have been known as discussed in patent literatures 1 and 2 shown below. The manifold type solenoid valve assembly described in the patent literature 1 uses an solenoid valve equipped with an output port and the manifold type solenoid valve assembly described in the patent literature 2 uses a solenoid valve equipped with no output port, and the output port of the solenoid valve is provided on a manifold base.

The above-described two solenoid valve assemblies are different each other in their structures of the solenoid valves being used. In these solenoid valves, existence of the output ports or the number of flow path holes which are opened on the bonding surface against the manifold base is different. Further, these two solenoid valve assemblies are different each other in the structures of the manifold bases. The solenoid valve assembly equipped with the solenoid valve having no output port is provided with output ports corresponding to each solenoid valve and the solenoid valve assembly equipped with the solenoid valve having the output port is not provided with an output port. Moreover, the number of flow path holes which are opened on the valve mounting surface is different each other. Accordingly, generally, these two solenoid valve assemblies are not compatible each other.

However, depending on the use conditions of fluid pressure equipments, it is often preferred to configure the solenoid valve assembly by mixing the solenoid valve equipped with the output port and the solenoid valve equipped with no output port.

However, so far, it has not been possible to directly mount these two kinds of solenoid valves on a common manifold base. Accordingly, no solenoid valve assembly which meets the above-described requirements has been proposed.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a manifold type solenoid valve assembly according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. This solenoid valve assembly has a manifold base 1, at least one first solenoid valve 2 which is directly equipped with output ports AP1, BP1 for external piping connection, at least one second solenoid valve 3 which is equipped with no output port, and an intermediate block 4 which is indirectly equipped with output ports AP2, BP2 of the second solenoid valve 3 instead of the second solenoid valve 3. The first solenoid valve 2 is directly mounted on the manifold base 1, the second solenoid valve 3 is indirectly mounted on the manifold base 1 through the intermediate block 4, and thus the solenoid valve assembly is structured.

The manifold base 1 is a block which is long in one direction whose cross section has a rectangular shape or a substantially rectangular shape and as shown in FIG. 2, on the plane upper surface, a plurality of valve mounting parts 5 for directly mounting the solenoid valves 2, 3 or indirectly mounting the solenoid valve through the intermediate block 4 are provided in parallel. In the manifold base 1, common fluid flow paths for supply and discharge 6, 7A, 7B are provided passing through the manifold base 1 from one end side to the other end side in a longitudinal direction. A plurality of branched holes 6a, 7a, and 7b which branch from the fluid flow paths 6, 7A, 7B are opened on each valve mounting part 5. In FIG. 2, three fluid flow paths are provided; a first fluid flow path 6 for supply which is centrally located, a second fluid flow path 7A and a third fluid flow path 7B for discharge which are located at both sides of the first fluid flow path 6. The first fluid flow path 6 extends along the central axis L through the central position in a widthwise direction (shorter direction) of the manifold base 1. The second and third fluid flow paths 7A and 7B are symmetrically located at both sides of the first fluid flow path 6, and extend in parallel with the first fluid flow path 6.

Accordingly, among the plurality of branched holes 6a, 7a, and 7b which are opened on the valve mounting part 5, the central first branched hole for supply 6a communicates with the first fluid flow path 6. The second and third branched holes for discharge 7a and 7b communicate with the second and third fluid flow path 7A and 7B respectively. Further, these second and third branched holes 7a and 7b are symmetrically provided at both sides of the first branched hole 6a keeping the same distance from the first branched hole 6a.

In FIG. 2, a screw hole 10 is used to mount the solenoid valve 2 or the intermediate block 4 on the valve mounting part 5, in the example shown in the drawing, two screw holes 10 are provided on each valve mounting part 5 respectively and further symmetrically provided around the first branched hole 6a. A mounting hole 11 is used to mount the manifold 1 on fluid pressure equipment or an installation site around the fluid pressure equipment with a bolt.

The plurality of valve mounting parts 5 has the same structure as that of the branched holes 6a, 7a, 7b and the screw holes 10, and therefore, the solenoid valve 2 and the intermediate block 4 can be selectively mounted on any valve mounting part 5. Further, by symmetrically arranging the branched holes 6a, 7a, 7b in each valve mounting part 5 and the screw holes 10 around the centrally located first branched hole 6a, it is possible to selectively mount the solenoid valve 2 and the intermediate block 4 in 180 degrees opposite directions respectively.

As shown in FIG. 3, the first solenoid valve 2 is a five-port pilot type solenoid valve, and has a main valve part 14 which houses a spool 16 for flow path switching and an electromagnetic operation type pilot valve 15 which operates the spool 16.

A housing 18 of the main valve part 14 has a longitudinal substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape, a valve hole 19 which extends in the axis-line direction is provided in the housing 18. In the valve hole 19, the spool 16 is slidably accommodated. On the valve hole 19, a communication hole 20 for main fluid supply, two communication holes 21a, 21b for output which locate at the both sides of the communication hole 20, and communication holes 22a, 22b for discharge which locate at the both sides of the communication hole 20 are opened. The fluid flow paths among these communication holes are switched by the spool 16.

The under surface of the housing 18 is a rectangular and substantially plane bonding surface 23 for mounting the solenoid valve on one of the valve mounting parts 5 on the manifold base 1. On the bonding surface 23, the above-described three communication holes 20, 22a, and 22b for supply and discharge are opened in the order that the first communication hole 20 is the center, and the communication holes 22a, 22b are substantially symmetrically arranged at both sides of the first communication hole 20. When the first solenoid valve 2 is mounted on the valve mounting part 5, these communication holes 20, 22a, and 22b communicate with the branched holes 6a, 7a, 7b for supply and discharge respectively.

In FIG. 3, a seal member 32 exists between the manifold base 1 and the first solenoid valve 2 to seal around each of the branched holes and communication holes.

The upper surface of the housing 18 is a mounting surface 24 for mounting a port block 25, and on the mounting surface 24, these two output communication holes 21a and 21b are opened. These communication holes 21a and 21b communicate with two output ports AP1 and AP2 respectively. These output ports AP1 and AP2 open upward to be connectable with external piping from above. Simple connection pipe joints 26 are connected to these output ports AP1 and BP1 respectively and by simply inserting an external piping made of a synthetic resin etc., it is possible to readily connect the output ports and the pipes. Since the structure of the pipe joint 26 is a well-known structure, further description is omitted.

The port block 25 is detachable by a screw 27, and it is possible to change to other port blocks which are different in sizes of output ports.

To both ends of the housing 18 in the axis-line direction (longitudinal direction), piston covers 28a, 28b are attached. Between these piston covers 28a, 28b and the end surfaces of the spool 16, pistons 29a, 29b are provided respectively. The first piston 29a housed in the first piston cover 28a is larger in diameter than the second piston 29b housed in the second piston cover 28b.

On the back surface of each of the piston 29a and piston 29b, pressure chambers 30a, 30b are formed between the pistons and the piston covers 28a, 28b respectively. The first pressure chamber 30a on the back surface of the first piston 29a having a larger diameter communicates with the communication hole 20 for supply through the pilot valve 15 and a pilot supply hole 31a. The second pressure chamber 30b on the back surface of the second piston 29b having a smaller diameter always communicates with the communication hole 20 for supply through a pilot supply hole 31b.

When an electric current is supplied to the pilot valve 15 and a pilot fluid is supplied into the first pressure chamber 30‘a, by a fluid pressure acting force due to a difference between the pressure receiving areas of the larger piston 29a and the smaller piston 29b, the first piston 29a is pressed and the spool 16 moves to the side of the second piston 29b having smaller diameter, the supply communication hole 20 communicates with the output first communication hole 21a, and a main fluid is output from the first output port AP1. When the electric current to the pilot valve 15 is disconnected, by the pilot fluid in the first pressure chamber 30a is being discharged, the spool 16 moves to the side of the first piston 29a having larger diameter by the fluid pressure acting force which acts on the second piston 29b, the supply communication hole 20 communicates with the second communication hole 21b, and the main fluid is output from the second output port BP1.

In FIG. 3, an operation piece 33 is used to reproduce the state that the electric current is supplied to the pilot valve 15 by manual operation, when the operation piece 33 is depressed, the first pressure chamber 30‘a directly communicates with the supply communication hole 20 through the pilot supply hole 31a.

In order to fix the first solenoid valve 2 on the valve mounting part 5 of the manifold base 1 with a screw 34, two screw insertion holes 35 are provided to the housing 18. These screw insertion holes 35 correspond to the two screw holes 10 on the valve mounting part 5, and provided to a side surface of one side in the widthwise direction at one end side in the axis-line direction of the housing 18 and a side surface of the other side in the widthwise direction at the other end side in the axis-line direction. Further, the screw insertion holes 35 are arranged so that the solenoid valve 2 can be selectively mounted on any valve mounting part 5 and in any 180 degrees opposite direction.

The first solenoid valve 2 is formed so that the length in the axis-line direction of the main valve 14, that is, the length that the lengths of the housing 18 and the two piston covers 28a and 28b at both sides are added, is almost the same as the width of the manifold base 1, that is, the length in the shorter direction.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, although the second solenoid valve 3 is a five-port pilot type solenoid valve as well as the first solenoid valve 2, differs from the first solenoid valve 2 in that the second solenoid valve 3 is not directly equipped with an output port and in that all of the supply, discharge, and output communication holes 20, 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b are opened on the bonding surface 23.

That is, on the bonding surface 23 which is the under surface of the housing 18 in the main valve 14, the five supply, discharge, and output communication holes 20, 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b are opened in line in the order that the supply communication hole 20 is the center, the two output communication holes 21a and 21b are at both sides of the supply communication hole 20, and the two discharge communication holes 22a and 22b are at both sides of the output communication holes 21a, 21b.

The structure of the second solenoid valve 3 other than the above-described differences is substantially the same as that of the first solenoid valve 2. Accordingly, the same numbers as the first solenoid valve 2 are applied to essential similar constituent parts and their descriptions are omitted. Also, since working of the second solenoid valve 3 other than the above-described differences is similar to those described above, the description is omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the intermediate block 4 has a longitudinal and substantially rectangular cross-section. The intermediate block 4 is manufactured by ejection, casting, or the like, the length of the intermediate block 4 is almost the same as that of the width of the manifold base 1, and the width of the intermediate block 4 is almost the same as that of the width of the housing 18 in the second solenoid valve 3. On the under surface of the intermediate block 4, a first bonding surface 41 for bonding onto the valve mounting part 5 of the manifold base 1 is provided, and on the upper surface of the intermediate block 4, a second bonding surface 42 for bonding onto the bonding surface 23 of the under surface of the second solenoid valve 3 is provided. Further, on one end surface in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate block 4, two output ports AP2 and BP2 for outputting the pressure fluid from the second solenoid valve 3 are provided at above and below locations sidewise. To the output ports AP2, BP2, external piping can be connected from the side surface direction of the manifold base 1 sidewise. To the output ports AP2, BP2, simple connection pipe joints can be connected.

These two output ports AP2 and BP2, as shown in FIG. 4 by dotted lines, can be formed on the opposite end surface in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate block 4, can be communicated with corresponding output ports each other, and depending on conditions such as a direction of a piping, the output ports AP2, BP2 of either side can be selectively used. In this case, the unused ports are blocked by plugs or the like.

On the first bonding surface 41 of the under surface of the intermediate block 4, a supply communication hole 43 which communicates with each of the branched hole 6a, 7a, 7b on the valve mounting part 5 and two discharge communication holes 45a and 45b are opened. These communication holes 43, 45a, 45b extend upwards in the intermediate block 4 and opened on the second bonding surface 42. Further, these communication holes 43, 45a, 45b communicate with the supply and discharge communication holes 20, 22a, 22b of the second solenoid valve 3 respectively. On the second bonding surface 42, in addition to the supply and discharge communication holes 43, 45a, 45b, two output communication holes 44a and 44b which communicate with the output ports AP2, BP2 are opened. These output communication holes 44a, 44b communicate with the output communication holes 21a, 21b of the second solenoid valve 3 respectively.

These output communication holes 44a, 44b are located between the supply communication hole 43 and the discharge communication holes 45a, 45b and further opened on the first bonding surface 41 of the under surface of the intermediate block 4. However, when the intermediate block 4 is mounted on the manifold base 1, the output communication holes 44a, 44b which are opened on the first bonding surface 41 are blocked by the valve mounting part 5. Accordingly, these output communication holes 44a, 44b are not necessary to be opened on the first bonding surface 41.

In the drawing, a seal member 49 exists between the manifold base 1 and the intermediate block 4 to seal around each of the branched holes and communication holes.

In order to fix the second solenoid valve 3 and the intermediate block 4 on the valve mounting part 5 of the manifold base 1 with a screw 46, to the housing 18 of the second solenoid valve 3 and the intermediate block 4, screw insertion holes 47, 48 which communicate with each other are provided at two locations respectively. These screw insertion holes 47, 48 correspond to the two screw holes 10 on the valve mounting part 5, and provided to a side surface of one side in the widthwise direction at one end side in the axis-line direction of the housing 18 and the intermediate block 4 and a side surface of the other side in the widthwise direction at the other end side in the axis-line direction. By using a long screw 46 which passes through both screw holes 47 and 48, it is possible to joint fasten to the manifold base 1 and fixed. Further, as well as the first solenoid valve 2, the second solenoid valve 3 and the intermediate block 4 can be selectively mounted on any valve mounting part 5 and in any 180 degrees opposite direction.

FIG. 5 illustrates a different structure of the first solenoid valve which is equipped with the output ports AP1, BP1. The differences between a first solenoid valve 2A in FIG. 5 and the first solenoid valve 2 in FIG. 3. are that the two output communication holes 21a and 21b are opened on the mounting surface 24 on the upper surface of the housing 18 and on the bonding surface 23 on the under surface of the housing 18, and the communication holes 21a, 21b which are opened on the bonding surface 23 on the under surface are blocked by the valve mounting part 5 of the manifold base 1. On the bonding surface 23, the output communication holes 21a, 21b are arranged between the supply communication hole 20 and the discharge communication holes 22a, 22b.

In FIG. 5, a seal member 50 exists between the housing 18 and the manifold base 1 to seal around each of the branched holes and communication holes.

The structure of the first solenoid valve 2A other than the above-described differences is substantially the same as that of the first solenoid valve 2. Accordingly, the same numbers as the first solenoid valve 2 are applied to essential similar constituent parts and their descriptions are omitted. Also, since working of the first solenoid valve 2A other than the above-described differences is similar to those described above, the description is omitted.

FIG. 6 illustrates an example of different structure of the second solenoid valve which is equipped with no output port. The differences between a second solenoid valve 3A in FIG. 6 and the second solenoid valve 3 in FIG. 4 are that the two output communication holes 21a and 21b are opened on both of the bonding surface 23 on the under surface of the housing 18 and upper surface 18a of the housing 18, and the communication holes 21a, 21b which are opened on the upper surface 18a are blocked by a cover plate 51 which is mounted on the upper surface 18a. In FIG. 6, a seal member 52 exists between the cover plate 51 and the housing 18 and a screw 53 fixes the cover plate 51.

The cover plate 51 is flat-plate shape and has recessed portions 54 at each position corresponding to the communication holes 21a, 21b on the under surface.

In FIG. 6, a relay hole 55 is opened so that the pilot supply holes 31a, 31b communicate with the communication hole 20. The relay hole 55 is opened from the upper surface 18a side of the housing 18, however, the relay hole 55 is blocked by the cover plate 51.

Such a relay hole 55 is similarly formed on the first solenoid valve 2 in FIG. 3 and the first solenoid valve 2A in FIG. 5 and these openings are blocked by the port block 25. On the other hand, in the second solenoid valve 3 in FIG. 4, the relay hole 55 is formed in a position from the bonding surface 23 side of the under surface of the housing 18 through the supply communication hole 20 to the pilot supply holes 31a, 31b and the relay hole 55 is not opened on the upper surface of the housing 18.

The structure of the second solenoid valve 3A other than the above-described differences is substantially the same as that of the second solenoid valve 3. Accordingly, the same numbers as the second solenoid valve 3 are applied to essential similar constituent parts and their descriptions are omitted.

Also, since working of the second solenoid valve 3A other than the above-described differences is similar to those described above, the description is omitted.

The first solenoid valve 2A shown in FIG. 5 and the second solenoid valve 3A shown in FIG. 6 have the same structure in the housing 18 of the main valve 14 each other. Accordingly, the structure of the first solenoid valve 2A in FIG. 5 from which the port block 25 is detached and the structure of the second solenoid valve 3A in FIG. 6 from which the cover plate 51 is detached have the same structure and therefore, have compatibility each other.

The manifold type solenoid valve assembly can be structured by using the first solenoid valve 2 in FIG. 3 and the second solenoid valve 3A in FIG. 6. Further, the manifold type solenoid valve assembly can be structured by using the first solenoid valve 2A in FIG. 5 and the second solenoid valve 3 in FIG. 4.

As described above, while the solenoid valves 2, 2A which are directly equipped with the output ports AP1, BP1 and the solenoid valves 3, 3A which are equipped with no output port can be mixed and mounted on the common manifold base 1, and these solenoid valves 2, 2A, 3, 3A can be mounted in an arbitrary order depending on a fluid pressure equipment. Accordingly, it can be possible to obtain the manifold type solenoid valve assembly which has the reasonably designed structure.

In this case, since the intermediate block 4 which has the output ports AP2, BP2 exists between the solenoid valves 3, 3A which are equipped with no output port and the manifold base 1, it is not necessary to specially modify the manifold base 1, the solenoid valves 2, 2A, 3, 3A. Accordingly, by simply providing the intermediate block 4, it can be possible to readily and economically obtain the manifold type solenoid valve assembly using the general-purpose manifold base 1, the solenoid valves 2, 2A, 3, 3A.

In the above embodiment, the first and second solenoid valves are the single-pilot type solenoid valves which have one pilot valve 15. However, at least one of the solenoid valves can be a double-pilot type solenoid valve which has two pilot valves 15. Further, if using the double-pilot type solenoid valve, the diameters of the two pistons 29a and 29b may be the same.

Further, instead of the five-port type solenoid valve, a three-port type solenoid valve or a solenoid valve which has ports other than the above number of ports can be used. In such case, it is necessary to change the arrangement of the fluid flow paths and the branched holes in the manifold base, the number and arrangement of the communication holes formed on the bonding surface of each solenoid valve or intermediate block etc. depending on the number of the ports.
