Abstract
A directional valve for adjusts a fluid flow, such as a coolant flow, is between at least two operating states. The valve includes a valve housing, an adjustable valve member, and a slotted link guide adapted to push the valve member into a sealing contact switching state with the valve housing and to guide the valve member into a releasing operating state shifted back with respect to the sealing contact operating state.
Claims17
A directional valve for adjusting a fluid flow between at least two operating states, the directional valve comprising:
- a valve housing;
- an adjustable valve member;
- and
- a slotted link guide configured to:
- push the valve member into a sealing contact operating state with the valve housing, and guide the valve member into a releasing operating state shifted back with respect to the sealing contact operating state, wherein the slotted link guide includes a slotted link path formed in a valve housing base, and made in one piece with the valve housing, the adjustable valve member being guided by the slotted link guide.
A directional valve for adjusting a coolant flow between at least two operating states, the directional valve comprising:
- a valve housing having a slotted link path made in one piece with the valve housing and formed in a base of the valve housing;
- a valve member having:
- an adjusting part to be connected to an actuator in a force-transmitting manner, and a sealing part configured to make sealing contact with the valve housing, the sealing part being movably mounted relative to the adjusting part by a rail guide;
- and
- a slotted link guide configured to, based on the slotted link path:
- push the valve member into a sealing contact operating state in which the sealing part makes the sealing contact with the valve housing, and
- guide the valve member into a releasing operating state.
