To address the altitude control requirements of high-altitude latex balloons, this paper proposes a novel lightweight electromagnetically actuated valve design. The valve employs a permanent magnet–electromagnet–spring composite structure to achieve rapid opening/closing motions through electromagnetic force control, enabling precise regulation of balloon gas venting. 3D electromagnetic field simulations were conducted to validate the magnetic flux density distribution, while computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations were employed to evaluate the valve’s aerodynamic characteristics. The CFD results confirmed stable venting performance, with near-linear flow–pressure relationships and localized jet structures that support reliable operation under stratospheric conditions. A multidisciplinary optimization framework was further applied to achieve a lightweight structural design of critical components. Experimental results demonstrate that the optimized valve achieves a total mass of 984.69 g with an actuation force of 15.263 N, maintaining stable performance across a temperature range of −60 °C to 25 °C. This study provides an innovative and systematically validated solution for micro-valve design in lighter-than-air vehicles.
