Abstract
The present invention relates to a tilting armature valve included at least a coil element having at least one coil core and a coil arranged radially around the coil core. The tilting armature valve may further include an armature mounted on a face side of the armature by means of a bearing. Furthermore, the tilting armature valve may include a sealing element arranged on the side of the armature facing the coil element or facing away therefrom. Moreover, the tilting armature valve may include a valve seat having an outlet and an inlet for a fluid, wherein the outlet is closable in a fluid-tight manner by way of the sealing element.
Claims22
A tilting armature valve, comprising:
- a coil element having at least one coil core and a coil arranged radially around the coil core;
- an armature mounted on a face side of the armature by a bearing, wherein the armature is movable from a first position to a second position, and wherein the bearing is formed by a bump in a bearing portion of the armature or in the coil element;
- a sealing element arranged on the side of the armature facing the coil element or facing away therefrom;
- a valve seat having an outlet and an inlet for a fluid, wherein the outlet is closable in a fluid-tight manner by the sealing element in the first position of the armature, wherein the outlet is released in the second position of the armature, and wherein the valve seat is arranged on a side facing the coil element or facing away therefrom with respect to the armature;
- wherein the bump is represented by a ball incorporated into the bearing portion of the armature.
A method of producing a tilting armature valve, the method comprising:
- providing a coil element having at least a coil core and a coil arranged radially around the coil core, an armature mounted by way of a bearing on a face side of the armature, wherein the bearing is formed by a bump in a bearing portion of the armature, a sealing element and a cover shell in which a valve seat is formed with an outlet and an inlet for a fluid;
- mounting the coil element, the armature, the sealing element and the cover shell such that the armature is movable from a first position to a second position, the sealing element is arranged on the side of the armature facing away from the coil element, and the outlet is closable in a fluid-tight manner by the sealing element in the first position of the armature and the outlet is released in the second position of the armature;
- wherein the bump is represented by a ball incorporated into the bearing portion of the armature.
