Abstract
A simple attachment structure with a minimized piece-part count, allowing easy grounding connection of the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve includes a body section with a built-in electromagnetic coil and a shaft-shaped valve section continued coaxially to the body section. An insertion hole for inserting the valve section in the control body is formed to the control body. The control body includes a locking mechanism composed of a locking piece with elasticity connected to a ground terminal of the electromagnetic coil and projecting out from an outer periphery of the body section and a concave portion provided on an upper surface of the control body. By inserting the valve section into the insertion hole, the locking piece elastically engages with the engaged part to lock the solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is grounded through a contact between the locking piece and the engaged portion.
