The (10) to the advanced position shutter (7) comprises a holow plunger (12) coaxial with FIG. 3 ‘Pandy Joe, TEO04 PARIS) 1 EP 3 904740 A1 2 Description Field ofthe invention [0001] The presentinvention generally relates to sole- noid valves ofthe type comprising a valve section with a shutter suitable to cooperate with a valve seat, and piloting section including a solenoid actuator to displace the shutter between a closing condition and an opening condition of the valve seat State of the prior art {0002} In oiLpneumatic systems, the use of two-way electrically controlled valves is widespread. Should the operating pressures be relatively low, or should the re- quired fuid flow rate be low, the actuation can be direct, that is the solenoid acts directly on the shutter which is normally preloaded by a spring in the closing position to ensure the sealing on the valve seat 10003} On the other hand, should the operating pres- ‘sures be high or should the flow rates of fluid be signif- cant, the solenoid valves are controlled by a piloting sec- tion including the solenoid, capable of creating the force required to open the shutter ofthe valve section. [0004] Piloting section and valve section are normally physically separated and connected to each other by ‘means of ducts. Since the task ofthe piloting section is to create a deficiency of forces such to open the valve section, a significant piloting flow rate is not required and hhence the connection ducts can also be small. The valve section and the piloting section can be combined accord- ing to the available spaces and geometric constraints in the applications ofthe solenoid valve provided for. In any case, itis always necessary to connect the two sections bby means of longer or shorter ducts. [0005] Both with conventional production and with ad- ditive production, manufacturing ducts entails complica- tions and requires particular attention, especially in the case of small solenoid valves, [0006] Document US2015/192213 discloses a sole- ‘oid valve corresponding to the pre-characterising part of claim 1, wherein the piloting section is integrated with the valve section and it includes a tubular stem having a distal end placed in communication with the atmosphere and a proximal end. The tubular stem can be displaced axially by means of the solenoid froma receded position, wherein the shutter of the valve section is kept in the closing condition, toan advanced position corresponding to the opening condition of the shutter. The shutter is carried by a hollow plunger coaxial with the tubular stem and defining an inner thrust chamber in which, in opera~ tion, in the aforementioned receded position ofthe tubu- lar stem, a fluid pressure - which keeps the shutter in the Closing condition and which is released into the atmos- phere - is applied to displace the valve stem to the open- ing condition, through the proximal end of the tubular stem when itis displaced by the solenoid to the afore- 10 3s 6 mentioned advanced position, Summary of the invention [0007] The object of the present invention isto provide 2 solenoid valve in which the piloting section and the valve section coexist in a small overall dimension so as to limit the general dimensions ofthe solenoid valve, re- duce the weight thereof, simpliy the interface and ensure high actuation speeds reducing, if not even eliminating the path ofthe fluid ducts, [0008] Accordingtothe invention, this objectisattained by means of a solenoid valve, whose peculiar character- istics are primarily defined in claim 1 [0003] In an embodiment of the solenoid valve, the valve section is fitted into a tank of pressurised fluid pro- vided with the valve seat, Brief description of the drawings [0010] Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the detailed description that follows, with reference to the attached drawings, provided purely by way of nonlimiting example, wherein = figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of an em- bodiment of the solenoid valve according to the in- vention, = figure 2 is a perspective longitudinal sectional view of the solenoid valve of figure 1, = figure 3isalongitudinal sectional view ofthe solenoid valve fitted toa compressed air tank, shown in a first ‘operating condition (valve closed), = figure 4 shows an enlargement of part of figure 3, = figure § is a view similar to figure 3 showing the so- lenoid valve ina second operating condition (start of opening), = figure 6 shows an enlargement of part of figure 5, = figure 7 isa view similar to fgures 3 and 5 showing the solenoid valve in a third operating condition (end of opening), and = figure 8 shows an enlargement of part of figure 7.
