Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a noise reduction member and a solenoid valve for a brake system with the same, and a noise reduction member according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is interposed between a sleeve including a cylindrical shape and an armature provided in the sleeve so as to be movable upward or downward, reduces noise that occurs in the event of a collision between the sleeve and the armature, and includes a support portion accommodated and supported in the armature, and a damper portion having a circular plate shape and protruding and extending from the support portion toward the sleeve.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A noise reduction member, which is interposed between a sleeve including a cylindrical shape and an armature provided in the sleeve so as to be movable upward or downward, the noise reduction member being configured to reduce noise that occurs in the event of a collision between the sleeve and the armature, the noise reduction member comprising:
a support portion accommodated and supported in the armature; and a damper portion having a circular plate shape and protruding and extending from the support portion toward the sleeve, wherein the damper portion has a discharge flow path formed along a surface of the damper portion facing the sleeve and more recessed than a flat surface positioned at a center of the damper portion and facing the sleeve.

2 . The noise reduction member of claim 1 , wherein an edge of the damper portion having the circular plate shape comes into contact with the sleeve when the armature moves upward.

3 . The noise reduction member of claim 2 , wherein the discharge flow path is formed in one surface of the damper portion, which faces the sleeve, so that a working fluid in a space between the damper portion and the sleeve is discharged when the damper portion and the sleeve come into contact with each other.

4 . The noise reduction member of claim 2 , wherein a central region, which is disposed inside the edge of the damper portion that comes into contact with the sleeve when the armature moves upward, is recessed in a direction away from the sleeve.

5 . The noise reduction member of claim 4 , wherein the working fluid present in the space between the damper portion and the sleeve is discharged between the edge of the damper portion and the sleeve when the armature moves upward, and
wherein a buffer effect increases when flow path resistance increases as an interval between the edge of the damper portion and the sleeve decreases.

6 . The noise reduction member of claim 2 , wherein the edge of the damper portion is spaced apart from the armature based on a state in which the armature is moved downward.

7 . The noise reduction member of claim 6 , wherein the edge of the damper portion, which is spaced apart from the armature, comes into contact with the armature by being deformed by a collision between the edge of the damper portion and the sleeve when the armature moves upward.

8 . The noise reduction member of claim 1 , wherein the noise reduction member is made of polyether ether ketone (PEEK).

9 . A solenoid valve for a brake system, the solenoid valve comprising:
a valve core having an inlet and an outlet; a sleeve including a cylindrical shape coupled to one side of the valve core; an armature provided in the sleeve so as to be movable upward or downward; a plunger provided in the valve core and configured to open or close the inlet of the valve core in accordance with an upward or downward movement of the armature; and a noise reduction member accommodated in the armature and configured to reduce noise that occurs because of impact by the sleeve when the armature moves upward or downward, wherein the noise reduction member comprises: a support portion accommodated and supported in the armature; and a damper portion having a circular plate shape and protruding and extending from the support portion toward the sleeve, wherein the damper portion has a discharge flow path formed along a surface of the damper portion facing the sleeve and more recessed than a flat surface positioned at a center of the damper portion and facing the sleeve.

10 . The solenoid valve of claim 9 , wherein the noise reduction member is configured such that an edge of the damper portion having the circular plate shape comes into contact with the sleeve when the armature moves upward.

11 . The solenoid valve of claim 9 , wherein one surface of the sleeve, which faces the armature based on a direction in which the armature moves upward or downward, is formed in a shape convexly curved in a direction opposite to a direction in which the sleeve faces the armature.

12 . The solenoid valve of claim 10 , wherein the discharge flow path is formed in one surface of the damper portion, which faces the sleeve, so that a working fluid in a space between the damper portion and the sleeve is discharged when the damper portion and the sleeve come into contact with each other.

13 . The solenoid valve of claim 10 , wherein a central region, which is disposed inside the edge of the damper portion that comes into contact with the sleeve when the armature moves upward, is recessed in a direction away from the sleeve,
wherein the working fluid present in the space between the damper portion and the sleeve is discharged between the edge of the damper portion and the sleeve when the armature moves upward, and wherein a buffer effect increases when flow path resistance increases as an interval between the edge of the damper portion and the sleeve decreases.

14 . The solenoid valve of claim 10 , wherein the edge of the damper portion is spaced apart from the armature based on a state in which the armature is moved downward, and
wherein the edge of the damper portion, which is spaced apart from the armature, comes into contact with the armature by being deformed by a collision between the edge of the damper portion and the sleeve when the armature moves upward.

15 . The solenoid valve of claim 9 , wherein the noise reduction member is made of polyether ether ketone (PEEK).

16 . The solenoid valve of claim 9 , wherein a noise reduction member accommodation groove is formed at one end of the armature to accommodate the noise reduction member, and the support portion of the noise reduction member is accommodated in the noise reduction member accommodation groove.

17 . The solenoid valve of claim 9 , wherein the damper portion of the noise reduction member is spaced apart from the sleeve in a state in which the armature is maximally moved downward.

18 . The solenoid valve of claim 9 , further comprising:
a valve seat installed in the inlet of the valve core and having an orifice, wherein the plunger opens or closes the orifice of the valve seat.

19 . The solenoid valve of claim 9 , further comprising:
a restoring spring installed in the valve core and configured to elastically press the plunger in a direction in which the plunger opens the inlet of the valve core.
