Abstract
When tap water is used as a pressure medium, the structure and material of an oil hydraulic high-speed solenoid valve can not be used because internal leakage and rust can occur. Accordingly, the authors have proposed a novel water hydraulic high-speed solenoid valve. This study is mainly concerned with the development of direct-driven water hydraulic high-speed solenoid valve. Through the investigation of soft magnetic material which has anti-corrosion and low eddy current characteristic, a solenoid design method using soft magnetic stainless steel instead of soft magnetic iron was established. Furthermore, a high-speed driving circuit, which compulsively imprints over-excitation voltage and demagnetization voltage onto the solenoid, is used in order to reduce the switching time of the water hydraulic high-speed solenoid valve. From the linear characteristics of Duty and mean flow, as well as fast switching time within 1.5ms, the validity of solenoid and direct driven valve design method for water hydraulics is verified.
