  • Patent number: 11014423
    Abstract: A valve block for an active suspension damping system of a vehicle includes a valve housing delimiting an interior space for connecting to a shock absorber of a wheel suspension system, and a valve piston movably guided in the interior space. The valve piston divides the interior space into a connecting space and a control space. A connecting duct communicates with the connecting space for hydraulically connecting to a damper volume of the shock absorber. At least one connector duct communicates with the connecting space for connection of a hydraulic line. A control duct communicates with the control space for applying a control pressure in the control space. The valve piston has a plug for closing the connecting duct in a closed position of the valve piston in the interior space and for opening the connecting duct in an open position of the valve piston in the interior space.
