Abstract
A valve with a valve seat and a valve disk has the valve disk configured such that it can be brought into a first position in which it is in contact with the valve seat where the valve is closed, and can be brought into a second position in which the valve is open. The valve has at least one spring element, and the valve seat can be displaced against a force exerted by the at least one spring element by bringing the valve disk from the second position into the first position and thereby deforming the spring element.
Claims14
A valve mountable on an external component, comprising:
- a valve seat comprising a first part configured to be contactable with a valve disk, wherein in a first position the valve disk is in contact with the first part of the valve seat and the valve is closed, and wherein in a second position the valve disk is positioned such that the valve is open;
- at least one spring element, wherein the first part of the valve seat is displaceable against a force exerted by the at least one spring element by bringing the valve disk from the second position into the first position and thereby deforming the spring element;
- and
- a flange configured for attachment to the external component, wherein the flange comprises a plurality of bores configured to receive screws or other attachment elements, and wherein the flange is configured to deform when subjected to external forces from the attachment,
- wherein the valve seat is configured such that a deformation of the flange caused by attaching the flange to the external component does not lead to a deformation of the first part of the valve seat.
