What Solenoid Valves Do in Robocon

In the realm of Robocon competitions, where precision, automation, and reliability are paramount, solenoid valves emerge as vital components that drive the success of robotic systems. A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated device used to control the flow of compress gases. By harnessing electrical energy to actuate a valve mechanism such as pneumatic piston or claw, solenoid valves provide precise control over fluid dynamics, crucial for the sophisticated operations required in Robocon challenges.

在Robocon競賽領域中，精度、自動化和可靠性至關重要，電磁閥成為驅動機器人系統成功的關鍵組件。電磁閥是一種電機操作的裝置，用於控制壓縮氣體的流動。通過利用電能來驅動閥機制，例如氣動桿或爪。電磁閥提供對流體動力學的精確控制，這對Robocon競賽所需的複雜操作至關重要。

Introduction to Different Types of Actuation (各種操作類型簡介)

The type of actuation in these valves determines how they operate and respond to control signals. Understanding the different types of actuation is essential for selecting the right solenoid valve for your specific application. Here are the primary types of actuation available in solenoid valves:

閥門的操作類型決定了它們如何操作和響應控制信號。了解不同的操作類型對於選擇適合特定應用的電磁閥至關重要。以下是電磁閥主要的幾種類型的操作：

1. 2-Position Single Actuation (兩位單電控驅動):

Description: This type involves a single solenoid that moves the valve spool to one position when energized. When the solenoid is de-energized, a spring returns the spool to its original position.

Applications: Suitable for applications where a default position is needed when power is off.

描述： 這種類型包含一個電磁線圈，通電時將閥芯移動到一個位置。當電磁線圈斷電時，彈簧將閥芯恢復到原始位置。

應用： 適用於需要在斷電時保持默認位置的應用。

2. 2-Position Double Actuation (兩位雙電控驅動):

Description: In this type, two solenoids are used. One solenoid moves the spool to one position, and the other solenoid moves it back. There is no default position as both solenoids control the valve.

Applications: Ideal for applications requiring stable positioning in both states without relying on a spring, providing more precise control.

描述： 這種類型使用兩個電磁線圈。一個電磁線圈將閥芯移動到一個位置，另一個電磁線圈將其移回。沒有默認位置，因為兩個電磁線圈共同控制閥門。

應用： 適用於需要在兩個狀態下保持穩定定位而不依賴彈簧的應用，提供更精確的控制。

3. 3-Position Closed Center Actuation (三位中央封閉驅動):

Description: This configuration has three positions: two for directional flow and one center position that blocks all ports. It requires two solenoids for operation.

Applications: Used in systems where it is necessary to stop the flow completely and maintain pressure in the circuit.

描述： 這種類型有三個位置：兩個用於方向流動，一個中央位置封閉所有端口。需要兩個電磁線圈來操作。

應用： 用於需要完全停止流動並保持回路壓力的系統。

4. 3-Position Exhaust Center Actuation: (三位中央排氣驅動):

Description: Similar to the closed center, this type also has three positions. The center position, however, vents the output ports to exhaust, releasing any pressure in the system.

Applications: Suitable for applications that require pressure to be released from the system when in the neutral position, enhancing safety and preventing unwanted pressure build-up.

描述： 類似於中央封閉，這種類型也有三個位置。然而，中央位置將輸出端口排氣，釋放系統中的任何壓力。

應用： 適用於需要在中立位置釋放系統壓力的應用，增強安全性並防止不必要的壓力積聚。

5. 3-Position Pressure Center Actuation: (三位中央加壓驅動):

Description: This type has three positions where the center position connects all ports to the pressure supply. This configuration ensures that there is always pressure available in the system.

Applications: Ideal for applications needing constant pressure supply to keep components ready for immediate action.

描述： 這種類型有三個位置，其中中央位置將所有端口連接到壓力供應。這種配置確保系統中始終有壓力可用。

應用： 適用於需要保持恆定壓力供應以使組件隨時準備就緒的應用。
