Armature Structure Optimization of Annular Multipole Solenoid Valves Based on Electromagnetic Force Distribution

Abstract

To improve the dynamic response speed of high-speed solenoid valves in electric fuel injection systems of marine diesel engines, a numerical simulation model of the solenoid valve is described in this paper. The accuracy of the simulation model was verified on the test bed of the solenoid valve. The effect of the punch position and the size of the dynamic response of the solenoid valve were investigated by using the distribution law of the electromagnetic force in the armature. The results of the test showed that armature drilling in the inter-yoke zone can optimize the solenoid closing response time, but it has little impact on the solenoid opening response time. From this rule, two groove schemes were further designed. Through comparison and calculation, it can be concluded that the fan groove scheme is better than the trapezoidal groove scheme, and that the opening and closing response times of the solenoid valve should be targeted in order to multi-target optimize the fan groove geometric parameters and the armature thickness. The results show that after optimization, the weight of the motion part is reduced by 21.6%, the opening response time of the solenoid valve is reduced by 11.1%, and the closing response time is reduced by 30.0%. While reducing the oil film damping of the armature motion, the overall dynamic response characteristics of the solenoid valve are improved.
