Abstract
A valve control device for a coolant circuit of a motor vehicle has a first valve with an associated first functional element, a second valve with an associated second functional element, wherein the first valve and the second valve are adapted to be variable in their switching position by rotation of the respectively associated functional element, and a locking mechanism including a driving device, wherein the locking mechanism is adapted to be rotatable by a drive. The locking mechanism is adapted to be transferred from a first switching position to a second switching position by engagement of the driving device with the first functional element and from a first switching position to a second switching position by engagement of the driving device with the second functional element.

A valve control device for a coolant circuit of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a first valve with an associated first functional element,
- a second valve with an associated second functional element,
- wherein the first valve and the second valve are configured to be variable in respective switching positions thereof by rotation of the respectively associated first and second functional elements,
- a locking mechanism comprising a driving device, wherein the locking mechanism is configured to be rotatable by a drive, and
- wherein the locking mechanism is configured to transfer the first valve from a first switching position to a second switching position of the first valve by engagement of the driving device with the first functional element and to transfer the second valve from a first switching position to a second switching position of the second valve by engagement of the driving device with the second functional element,
- wherein the driving device comprises a first spur gear cutout to engage with the first functional element or with the second functional element,
- wherein the driving device further comprises a second spur gear cutout to engage with the first functional element or with the second functional element, and
- wherein the first spur gear cutout and the second spur gear cutout are arranged spaced apart from each other in an axial direction of the locking mechanism.
A valve control device for a coolant circuit of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a first valve with an associated first functional element,
- a second valve with an associated second functional element,
- wherein the first valve and the second valve are configured to be variable in respective switching positions thereof by rotation of the respectively associated first and second functional elements,
- a locking mechanism comprising a driving device, wherein the locking mechanism is configured to be rotatable by a drive, and
- wherein the locking mechanism is configured to transfer the first valve from a first switching position to a second switching position of the first valve by engagement of the driving device with the first functional element and to transfer the second valve from a first switching position to a second switching position of the second valve by engagement of the driving device with the second functional element,
- wherein the locking mechanism further comprises a first locking contour for abutment against a locking surface of the first functional element and/or against a locking surface of the second functional element,
- wherein the locking mechanism further comprises a second locking contour for abutment against the locking surface of the first functional element and/or against the locking surface of the second functional element, and
- wherein the first locking contour and the second locking contour are arranged spaced apart from each other in an axial direction of the locking mechanism.
