Solenoid control valve with quick-connect fittings for mating with an adhesive control module assembly of a hot melt adhesive dispensing system

摘要

A new and improved hot melt adhesive dispensing system (110) comprises a new and improved solenoid control valve assembly (112) and a new and improved adhesive control module assembly (114). The solenoid control valve assembly (112) is mounted directly upon the adhesive control module assembly (114) by quick-connect fittings (154,156), and control air flow paths are defined within the solenoid control valve assembly (112) and within the adhesive control module assembly (114) so as to effectively comprise substantially short, linear fluid flow paths which will thereby minimize the lengths of the control air flow paths and therefore, in turn, minimize the cycling response time of the nozzle dispensing valve member of the adhesive control module assembly (114).
