· SAIC and Qihoo 360 cooperate to build an Internet car

As the automobile market continues to escalate and change, the traditional configuration of vehicles built by experience alone cannot satisfy the needs of consumers. In recent years, the IT industry has developed at a high speed, and the product has been updated rapidly. At the same time, there are also companies that are changing their thinking. They are combining the Internet with automobiles. For example, LeTV is holding hands with BAIC Group and Sina to join hands with Weichai. For this emerging field, SAIC has also planned. A few days ago, Netcom learned from insiders of SAIC that SAIC and Qihoo 360 are indeed planning to promote some related cross-border cooperation. As for the content and the form of cooperation, whether it is the car itself or other platforms, the next two months I will see it inside.
In fact, SAIC has been in the forefront of other independent auto companies in technology research and development. From powertrains to cooperation with Internet giants, SAIC always wants to convey a voice to the outside world, namely: our completely localized cars. It can also have leading technology like a joint venture or even an imported car, providing consumers with the best experience for everyday use.
Previously, SAIC and Alibaba Group officially signed an agreement on the "Internet Car" strategic agreement mainly reflected in the cooperation in the field of automotive applications and services. In the future, SAIC’s own brand new products will integrate Alibaba’s “YUN OS” operating system and integrate resources such as Big Data, Ali Communications, Gaode Navigation, Alibaba Cloud Computing, and Shrimp Music, as well as SAIC’s vehicle and component development. Resources such as auto service trade, open integration of the Internet and big data, around the user's car life, integrate the online and offline resources of both sides, and provide users with smart travel services.
Internet cars have become the "seed players" in the automotive field, and companies have begun to focus on upgrading their vehicle configuration. Among them, Weichai Yingzhi is a typical example. On July 16, Ai Chai Yingzhi and Sina signed a cooperation agreement on the Internet car project at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, becoming another partner of the Internet + car cooperation model. The Tesla-type central control large screen equipped with the firewood center console of Weichai will become one of the products of the cooperation between the two parties.
The data shows that as of the end of 2014, China's car ownership reached 264 million, which will be a super entry for Internet companies. The entrance is the demand, and the demand can bring the market and profit. Many IT giants have rushed to the smart car system to lay out the future market that the Internet + car can create. Personal analysis, the cooperation between SAIC and Qihoo 360 is that loading the Internet into the car means that the future car system may be contaminated with viruses or controlled by hackers. Qihoo 360, which focuses on anti-virus for many years, will provide reliable SAIC Group in the future. Security to enhance the user experience of its car networking system.

A Solenoid Valve is an electromechanically operated valve. The valve is controlled by an electric current through a solenoid: in the case of a two-port valve the flow is switched on or off; in the case of a three-port valve, the outflow is switched between the two outlet ports. Multiple solenoid valves can be placed together on a manifold.

Solenoid valves are the most frequently used control elements in fluidics. Their tasks are to shut off, release, dose, distribute or mix fluids. They are found in many application areas. Solenoids offer fast and safe switching, high reliability, long service life, good medium compatibility of the materials used, low control power and compact design.

Besides the plunger-type actuator which is used most frequently, pivoted-armature actuators and rocker actuators are also used.


Solenoid valve designs have many variations and challenges.

Common components of a solenoid valve:

  • Solenoid subassembly
    • Retaining clip (a.k.a. coil clip)
    • Solenoid Valve Timer
    • Solenoid Coil (with magnetic return path)
    • Core tube (a.k.a. armature tube, plunger tube, solenoid valve tube, sleeve, guide assembly)
    • Plugnut (a.k.a. fixed core)
    • Shading coil (a.k.a. shading ring)
    • Core spring (a.k.a. counter spring)
    • Core (a.k.a. plunger, armature)
  • Core tube–bonnet seal
  • Bonnet (a.k.a. cover)
  • Bonnet–diaphram–body seal
  • Hanger spring
  • Backup washer
  • Diaphram
    • Bleed hole
  • Disk
  • Valve body
    • Seat
    • air valve
    • water inlet valve
    • control valve

The core or plunger is the magnetic component that moves when the solenoid is energized. The core is coaxial with the solenoid. The core's movement will make or break the seals that control the movement of the fluid. When the coil is not energized, springs will hold the core in its normal position.

The plugnut is also coaxial.

The core tube contains and guides the core. It also retains the plugnut and may seal the fluid. To optimize the movement of the core, the core tube needs to be nonmagnetic. If the core tube were magnetic, then it would offer a shunt path for the field lines. In some designs, the core tube is an enclosed metal shell produced by deep drawing. Such a design simplifies the sealing problems because the fluid cannot escape from the enclosure, but the design also increases the magnetic path resistance because the magnetic path must traverse the thickness of the core tube twice: once near the plugnut and once near the core. In some other designs, the core tube is not closed but rather an open tube that slips over one end of the plugnut. To retain the plugnut, the tube might be crimped to the plugnut. An O-ring seal between the tube and the plugnut will prevent the fluid from escaping.

The solenoid coil consists of many turns of copper wire that surround the core tube and induce the movement of the core. The coil is often encapsulated in epoxy. The coil also has an iron frame that provides a low magnetic path resistance.
