  • Patent number: 11512682
    Abstract: A linear-acting electric pump unit and method for operating said unit. A linear-acting electric pump unit comprises an electromagnet and a pump unit. It is to be suitable for delivering gas/liquid mixtures. In order that it may be compactly assembled with other devices, it is to have a central inlet. The fluid delivered by the pump unit flows through the electromagnet and enters the pump unit on one side and leaves it on the other through the non-return valves, each arranged on the same centre line as the electromagnet. The pump unit can be used for delivery of gas/liquid mixtures, preferably in the sphere of combustion engines and their fuel supply systems and exhaust emission control systems.

  • Patent number: 11506198
    Abstract: A multiflow pump for fluids, having an electromagnetic translator drive, a displacement piston unit, a pump head, and at least one outlet valve device. The displacement piston contains a bearing journal with a spring receptacle, a carrier plate, and a plurality of pump pistons, wherein the displacement piston unit is configured in one piece.

  • Patent number: 11302468
    Abstract: An electromagnet and method for producing an electromagnet. The electromagnet includes a sheet metal casing encompassing a magnetic coil at its end face on a magnetic pole side and extends into an interior of the magnetic coil and forms, in this case, a magnetic pole which interacts with a magnet keeper. The electromagnet enables actuation of a valve, a coupling or a reciprocating pump. The structure is achieved with as few cutting processes as possible to be used for generating the individual parts and as small a number as possible of individual parts is to be used per electromagnet.

  • Patent number: 10935147
    Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated valve. The electromagnetically actuated valve with a small longitudinal extension, allows great through-flow quantities for the fluid with a small pressure difference. It is intended in this case that it should be producible cost-effectively in large unit numbers. An armature carries a plurality of valve bodies arranged in a point-symmetrical manner which together form a movable valve, wherein the plurality of valve bodies interact with a same plurality of valve seats which together form a stationary valve. The valve can be used along with a pump, a tank and/or other fluid units in assemblies for conveying mixtures of gas and liquid.

  • Publication number: 20190331109
    Abstract: An electrofluidic assembly and method for its operation. The functions of a reciprocating pump and of a valve should be combined in one assembly. Here, in particular the pump and the valve should interact so that a small number of line connections are required. A pump assembly and a valve are arranged on an identical central line and use a bearing rod jointly for movable bearing of a first solenoid armature which activates a displacement apparatus of the pump assembly on one hand and a second solenoid armature of the valve which activates a group of closing bodies on the other hand. The electrofluidic assembly can be used for monitoring tank systems.
