  • Publication number: 20040227398
    Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable valve for hydraulic control devices in motor vehicles is embodied as a pressure-equalized seat valve in a mode of construction comprising a hydraulic part with a valve dome and an electrical part that can be slipped onto the valve dome. In a magnet valve that is normally open, the tubular tappet that supports the closing member is supported at one point in a first bearing point, in terms of the longitudinal direction, that is embodied as a slide bearing, and a bearing ring that forms the sealing point accomplishes the hydraulic pressure equilibrium with the effective sealing diameter of the closing member that together with the valve seat forms the second bearing point. With the valve, very short switching times, in particular less than 0.5 ms, can be achieved with an economical mode of construction.

  • Patent number: 6789779
    Abstract: A hydraulic part of a magnet valve is received in a bore of a valve block. The hydraulic part is secured to the valve block with a calked heel of a securing bush that is slipped onto a guide sleeve of the hydraulic part. The securing bush rests on an annular shoulder of the guide sleeve and engages a jacket wall of the guide sleeve with a press fit, and one edge of the securing bush is adapted to a rounded-out throat between the jacket wall and an end wall of the annular shoulder by means of plastic deformation. A valve sleeve engages a portion of the bore of the valve block with a press fit. The calked heel, the plastically deformed edge of the securing bush, and the press fit of the valve bush seals that seal off against fluid are achieved without using additional rubber-elastic sealing means.

  • Publication number: 20040089832
    Abstract: A hydraulic part 13 of a magnet valve 10 is received in a bore 14 of a valve block 11. The securing of the hydraulic part 13 to the valve block 11 is attained with a calked heel 53 of a securing bush 43 that is slipped onto a guide sleeve 21 of the hydraulic part 13.

  • Patent number: 6688904
    Abstract: For bonding magnet valves, inserted into a hydraulic block, to an electronic control circuit for wheel slip control, the invention proposes that wire ends of coils of the magnet valve be fixed to one face end of a winding carrier and bonded by means of slit terminals, which are integral with a stamped grid that carries the electrical and electronic components that form the control circuit.

  • Patent number: 6627077
    Abstract: A multi-part filter combination is received in a stepped bore of a fluid-carrying component. A larger-diameter filter part is associated with a larger-diameter bore portion, and a smaller-diameter filter part is associated with a smaller-diameter bore portion. The two filter parts of the filter combination are connected by a connecting part. When the two filter parts are joined in their respective final position in the bore, this connecting part is detachable by means of a die to be introduced into the bore. The filter combination can be used in a valve block serving to receive a magnet valve.

  • Patent number: 6250725
    Abstract: A barrier valve including an armature, longitudinally movable toward a pole core by excitation of an electrical winding. A prestressed compression spring in a longitudinal bore of the armature, as well as a support body, loaded by the compression spring, that is braced on a shoulder of the bore. The barrier valve furthermore has a tappet, which engages the support body and is movable relative to the armature and carries a closing body of a seat valve. When the winding is excited, the closing body is movable, overcoming the valve stroke, toward a valve seat of the seat valve. When the winding is excited, the closing body can be lifted from the valve seat by hydraulic forces acting on the closing body toward the valve seat, counter to the spring force of the compression spring in the armature. The stroke of the tappet relative to the armature engaging the pole core is limited to an amount less than the valve stroke.

  • Patent number: 6193481
    Abstract: A piston pump, which is provided as a return feed pump for a slip-regulated motor vehicle brake system. In order to simplify the manufacture, a sleeve in the form of a tubular piece is clamped between a fastening element which is inserted into the cylinder bore using a self-clinching technique, and the cylinder bore, and is thus sealed and fixed in place. In addition to the simple manufacture of the sleeve out of reasonably priced tubular material, the piston pump has the advantage of a sealing of the sleeve in the cylinder bore without a separate sealing element such as a sealing ring.

  • Patent number: 5931179
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic unit with a solenoid valve inserted into a receiving bore of a hydraulic block. With rigid fastening, the solenoid valve can rest under pressure against a circumference point of the receiving bore and when there is alternating stress on the solenoid valve during operation, the solenoid valve displaces material of the hydraulic block. In order to prevent this, a fastening device with a securing ring caulked in the receiving bore, includes a collar that is deformed into a circumferential groove of the solenoid valve leaving radial play.

  • Patent number: 5879060
    Abstract: Multiposition valves are used for instance to interrupt a flow of pressure fluid that begins at a pressure source, such as a master cylinder, and leads to a consumer, such as a wheel brake. To that end, such multiposition valves have a valve seat, a valve seat closing body, an electromagnet which presses the valve closing body against the valve seat, and a valve opening spring, so that when the electromagnet is turned off, the valve closing body assumes an outset position spaced apart from the valve seat. To reduce noise production, especially when power is supplied in pulsed fashion to the electromagnet a further spring is provided that urges the armature in the direction of its outset position, so that when the valve opens, the armature can lead ahead of the valve closing body. The valve is advantageously usable in a hydraulic vehicle brake system where irritating noise production during operation is to be avoided.

  • Patent number: 5718489
    Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated valve of a hydraulic unit is received in pressure-tight fashion and mounted without complicated adjustment of the valve stroke. The valve comprises a hydraulic part and an electrical part. The hydraulic part is a pre-mounted unit with a stroke of a seat valve set before insertion into a receiving bore of a metal valve block. The hydraulic part is received in pressure-tight fashion in the valve block by a first swaged connection located between an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit of the receiving bore. A sealing ring that closes off the receiving bore is retained by a radially extending flange of a bushing slipped onto the hydraulic part. The flange is secured to the valve block by a second swaged connection. The hydraulic unit is usable for traction-controlled motor vehicle brake systems.
