Abstract

A purge control solenoid valve includes a gas access body including an evaporation gas inlet, an evaporation gas outlet, and a path that connects the evaporation gas inlet and the evaporation gas outlet; a valve operation body including an armature coupled to the gas access body and performing a reciprocating motion in a direction in which the armature is brought into close contact with or separated from the path by a core that generates a magnetic force; and an armature top member being in close contact with or separated from the path due to the reciprocating motion of the armature to open or close the path. The armature top member has a non-adhesion coating formed on a top surface of a body thereof, and the non-adhesion coating includes a binder, graphite, polytetrafluoroethylene, and a crosslinking agent.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A purge control solenoid valve comprising:
a gas access body including an evaporation gas inlet, an evaporation gas outlet, and a path that connects the evaporation gas inlet and the evaporation gas outlet;
a valve operation body including an armature coupled to the gas access body, wherein the armature is configured to perform a reciprocating motion in a direction in which the armature is brought into close contact with or separated from the path by a core that generates a magnetic force; and
an armature top member being in close contact with or separated from the path due to the reciprocating motion of the armature to open or close the path,
wherein the armature top member includes a non-adhesion coating formed on a top surface of a body thereof, and the non-adhesion coating includes a binder, graphite, polytetrafluoroethylene, and a crosslinking agent, and
wherein the non-adhesion coating is formed using a non-adhesion coating composition comprising, by weight, 25% to 80% binder, 1% to 15% graphite, 3% to 25% polytetrafluoroethylene, 3% to 25% crosslinking agent, and 3% to 25% solvent.

2. The purge control solenoid valve of claim 1 , wherein the non-adhesion coating is formed using a non-adhesion coating composition comprising, by weight, 50% to 60% binder, 1% to 3% graphite, 15% to 20% polytetrafluoroethylene, 8% to 12% crosslinking agent, and 10% to 20% solvent.

3. A method for manufacturing an armature top member installed in a purge control solenoid valve, the method comprising:
forming a non-adhesion coating by coating a non-adhesion coating composition on a surface of an armature top member body,
wherein the non-adhesion coating is formed using a non-adhesion coating composition comprising, by weight, 25% to 80% binder, 1% to 15% graphite, 3% to 25% polytetrafluoroethylene, 3% to 25% crosslinking agent, and 3% to 25% solvent.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the non-adhesion coating is formed using a non-adhesion coating composition comprising, by weight, 50% to 60% binder, 1% to 3% graphite, 15% to 20% polytetrafluoroethylene, 8% to 12% crosslinking agent, and 10% to 20% solvent.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the forming the non-adhesion coating comprises:
coating the non-adhesion coating composition on the surface of the armature top member body; and
curing the coated non-adhesion coating composition at a temperature in a range from about 150° C. to about 180° C. for about 10 minutes to about one hour to form the non-adhesion coating.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the forming the non-adhesion coating comprises:
coating the non-adhesion coating composition on the surface of the armature top member body; and
curing the coated non-adhesion coating composition at a temperature in a range from about 150° C. to about 180° C. for about 10 minutes to about one hour to form the non-adhesion coating.

7. A method for manufacturing a purge control solenoid valve, the method comprising:
forming a non-adhesion coating by coating a non-adhesion coating composition on an armature top member;
obtaining an armature by coupling the armature top member to an armature body; and
installing the armature between a valve operation body and a gas access body,
wherein the non-adhesion coating composition comprises, by weight, 25% to 80% binder, 1% to 15% graphite, 3% to 25% polytetrafluoroethylene, 3% to 25% crosslinking agent, and 3% to 25% solvent.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the non-adhesion coating is formed using a non-adhesion coating composition comprising, by weight, 50% to 60% binder, 1% to 3% graphite, 15% to 20% polytetrafluoroethylene, 8% to 12% crosslinking agent, and 10% to 20% solvent.
