An electromagnetic fluid flow control valve mechanism has a hollow slide valve linearly movable on and along a core in response to energization of a coil disposed around the slide valve for selective fluid communication between a inlet port and first and second outlet ports through a chamber in a casing. The ratio of a cross-sectional area of the inlet port to that of each of the first and second outlet ports is selected such that the chamber will develop a relatively small vacuum such as of 20 mmAg at maximum. Preferably, the ratio is 6.5 or greater. This arrangement prevents a fluid, typically air, from flowing from the second outlet port back into the chamber. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A control valve mechanism comprising: a casing assembly defining a chamber therein; an inlet port in fluid communication with said chamber and with a positive pressure source, said inlet port having a first cross-sectional area; an electromagnetically actuatable valve assembly disposed in said chamber, said valve assembly including a core having first and second passages therethrough; first and second outlet ports for fluid communication with said chamber through said first and second passages, respectively, each of said first and second outlet ports being in fluid communication with a separate negative pressure source, said first and second outlet ports having second and third cross-sectional areas, respectively; a hollow slide valve slidably mounted on said core for axial linear displacement therealong, said slide valve including at least one aperture to provide selective fluid communication between said chamber and said first and second outlet ports through said first and second passages; an electromagnetic coil for producing a magnetic field across said slide valve; and spring means disposed in said chamber for normally urging said hollow slide valve to close said first and second passages against fluid communication with said chamber, said electromagnetic coil being energizable for axially displacing said hollow slide valve against the resiliency of said spring means and for allowing successive opening of said first and second passages into said chamber, the ratio of said first cross-sectional area to each of said second and third cross-sectional areas being at least 6.
5 for limiting the vacuum in said chamber to a maximum value of 20 mmAg to reduce back flow of fluid from said first and second outlet ports to said chamber.
Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The prsent invention relates to an electromagnetically operable fluid flow control valve mechanism, and more particularly to such a fluid flow control valve mechanism designed especially for use in motor vehicles for preventing an air-fuel mixture from flowing from a carburetor air bleed back into the valve mechanism
