ABSTRACT:
A three-port solenoid-operated valve has a fluid passage defined in a solenoid, a first port at an inlet end of the fluid passage, and second and third ports at an outlet end of the fluid passage. A cylindrical plunger is movably disposed in the fluid passage, and a slider is slidably supported in the plunger. A first-port valve body is normally urged by a first spring to be held against an end surface of the slider for opening the first port when the solenoid is de-energized. A third-port valve body is normally urged by a second spring for closing the third port when the solenoid is de-energized and is energized by a lower current. A pusher is fixedly mounted in the plunger for pushing the third-port valve body in a direction to open the third port in response to movement of the plunger when the solenoid is energized by a higher current. A third spring acts between the pusher and the opposite end surface of the slider for normally urging the pusher and the slider apart from each other. The second spring has a smallest spring force, the third spring has a largest spring force, and the first spring has an intermediate spring force between the spring forces of the second and third springs.
