Abstract
A solenoid valve which includes a valve member that has a flat sealing face which is on a face end that cooperates with a valve seat formed on a seat element that is embodied as spherical. The valve seat encompasses the outflow of a pressure conduit in the seat element. Because of the spherical nature, when the solenoid valve is put into operation, the seat face can increase in size by means of deformation of the seat region immediately adjoining the outflow of the pressure conduit. The seat region leads to a high degree of seat precision, which compensates for manufacture tolerances, combined with a high degree of high pressure tightness of the valve.
Claims2
A solenoid valve for controlling pressure mediums, which comprises a valve member (1) which is actuated along a longitudinal axis by an electromagnet and, said valve member includes a flat end face (3) as a sealing face, said flat end face cooperates with a valve seat (12) to which a pressure conduit (5) feeds, said pressure conduit is disposed coaxial to the longitudinal axis (4) of the valve member (1), the pressure conduit (5) emerges at a seat element (6), said seat element (6) includes a surface oriented toward the valve member which is formed as part of a spherical cap with an imaginary spherical center point (8) which is disposed on the longitudinal axis of the pressure conduit (5), said pressure conduit includes an outlet coaxial to the axis (4) of the valve member and constitutes a portion of the valve seat (12) at the outflow of the pressure conduit.
