Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A solenoid device includes a plunger driven in an axial direction, a wall portion arranged to oppose the plunger in the axial direction, and a respiratory pore cover covering an opening of a respiratory pore of the wall portion. A volume variable chamber is defined between the plunger and the wall portion. The respiratory pore cover defines a communication space communicated to the respiratory pore, and an opening which causes the communication space to communicate with an exterior space. A volume of the communication space is larger than a predetermined volume of fluid that flows through the respiratory pore from or into the volume variable chamber by a predetermined movement of the plunger.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A solenoid device comprising: a plunger driven in an axial direction; a wall portion arranged to oppose the plunger in the axial direction, wherein a volume variable chamber is defined between the plunger and the wall portion, a volume of the volume variable chamber being changed by movement of the plunger, the wall portion having a respiratory pore which causes the volume variable chamber to communicate with outside; and a respiratory pore cover covering the respiratory pore from an outer side of the volume variable chamber, wherein the respiratory pore cover defines a communication space communicated to the respiratory pore, and an opening which causes the communication space to communicate with an exterior space, and a volume of the communication space is larger than a predetermined volume of fluid that flows through the respiratory pore from or into the volume variable chamber by a predetermined movement of the plunger. 2. The solenoid device according to claim 1 , wherein the opening is defined between the exterior space and the communication space, and the opening is opened downward in a gravity direction. 3. The solenoid device according to claim 1 , wherein the communication space has a bent part in a passage extending from the opening to the respiratory pore, so as to define a labyrinth shape. 4. The solenoid device according to claim 1 , wherein the respiratory pore cover is made of magnetic material.
