Abstract: A microvalve includes a first plate having an inner surface, a recessed region provided within the inner surface, a normally open fluid port and a normally closed fluid port provided within the recessed region. A first sealing structure extends about the normally open fluid port, and a second sealing structure extends about the normally closed fluid port. A second plate defines a non-movable portion and a movable portion. A surface of the non-movable portion abuts the inner surface of the first plate, the non-movable portion having an opening formed therethrough. The movable portion is formed within the opening, has an axis, and defines a displaceable member connected to the non-movable portion by a convoluted spring formed in the opening. The displaceable member is slidingly and axially movable within the opening between a first position, wherein the displaceable member cooperates with the second sealing structure to prevent fluid communication through the normally closed fluid port, and a second position, wherein the displaceable member does not cooperate with at least a portion of the second sealing structure to prevent fluid communication through the normally closed fluid port.

A surface of the non-movable portion abuts the surface of the first plate, the non-movable portion having first and second openings formed therethrough. The first opening has a notch formed in each of two longitudinally extending side walls thereof. The movable portion defines a displaceable member connected to the non-movable portion by a convoluted spring formed in a second opening. The displaceable member has a tab extending outwardly from each of two longitudinally extending side walls thereof, each tab positioned within one of the notches. The displaceable member is slidingly and axially movable within the first opening between a closed position, wherein the displaceable member cooperates with the sealing structure to prevent fluid communication through the fluid port, and an opened position, wherein the displaceable member does not cooperate with at least a portion of the sealing structure to prevent fluid communication through the fluid port. The notches define stop surfaces that limit travel of the displaceable member between the closed position and the open position.
