  • Patent number: 10927975
    Abstract: A solenoid valve includes a magnet assembly, a valve cartridge having a pole core, a valve sleeve connected to the pole core, an armature, and a valve body. The armature is guided in an axially movable manner within the valve sleeve and is coupled to a closing element. The magnet assembly generates a magnetic field via energizing a coil winding. The magnetic field moves the armature counter to a force of a spring. The valve body is positioned within the valve sleeve. A valve seat of the valve body forms a main valve with the closing element that sets a fluid flow between at least one first fluid opening and at least one second fluid opening. A positive connection between the valve sleeve and the valve body is formed to prevent movement of the valve body introduced into the valve sleeve counter to a direction of introduction.

  • Patent number: 9751512
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an internal gear pump as a hydraulic pump for a slip-controlled vehicle brake system. The disclosure proposes to configure the internal gear pump as a preassembled module with a cartridge as housing, which can be pressed into a receptacle of a hydraulic block of the vehicle brake system. The cartridge has two steps which are parallel to one another for attaching a press-in ram and for orienting the cartridge in an angularly correct manner by means of the press-in ram, and a sealing surface, with which the cartridge bears in a sealed manner in the receptacle of the hydraulic block when the cartridge is pressed into the receptacle.

  • Publication number: 20160377190
    Abstract: An armature assembly for a solenoid valve having a main body, which, at one end, receives a sealing element having a sealing geometry that cooperates with a valve seat and, at the other end, receives a return spring that is supported on a spring mount, as well as a valve cartridge for a solenoid valve, and a method for installing an armature assembly. Here, the sealing element is guided axially movably against the spring force of an elastic damping element in a through-extending axial recess of the main body, the elastic damping element being configured between the sealing element and the spring mount and damping an impulse generated in response to the sealing geometry striking the valve seat.

  • Patent number: 9068569
    Abstract: An internal gear pump includes a separator arranged in a pump chamber of the internal gear pump. The separator divides the pump chamber into a delivery chamber and a suction chamber and is arranged so as to be radially moveable and capable of pivoting. The internal gear pump further includes a bearing ring in which a ring gear of the internal gear pump is rotatably supported such that it can pivot about a pin. A pressure prevailing in the pump chamber when the internal gear pump is in operation acts on the ring gear and the bearing ring with a torque, which acts inwardly from the pin in a circumferential direction to the suction chamber and presses tooth tips of teeth of the ring gear inwards against the separator and presses the separator inwards against tooth tips of teeth of the pinion.

  • Patent number: 8651453
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve cartridge for a solenoid valve, having a capsule, a magnetic armature that is movably guided within the capsule, a valve insert that is inserted into the capsule at a first end, and a valve body, which is pressed into a second end of the valve insert and has a main valve seat. The magnetic armature, moved by a generated magnetic force, moves a tappet guided within the valve insert. The tappet has a closing element with a sealing element which plunges into the main valve seat of the valve body in a sealing manner for carrying out a sealing function, and an associated solenoid valve. According to the invention the valve insert is configured as a one-part slotted bushing, and the valve body is configured as a bonnet-shaped bushing. The valve body configured as a bushing is pressed into a second end of the valve insert configured as a slotted bushing such that the main valve seat is disposed within the valve insert.

  • Patent number: 8540212
    Abstract: The invention relates to a solenoid valve, in particular for a brake system of a motor vehicle, having an axially displaceably supported armature, on one end of which a valve sealing body is disposed and with the other end of which a pole core is associated, and having a compression spring acting in prestressed fashion between the pole core and the armature. It is provided that the compression spring is held in prestressed fashion in an axial passage of the armature, between a bolt, having the valve sealing body and held in a selectable position in the axial passage in force- and/or form-locking fashion, and a thrust piece, disposed such that it can be pushed out of the axial passage up to a stop and subjects the pole core to the prestressing force. The invention further relates to an armature for a solenoid valve. Finally, the invention relates to a method for producing an armature for a solenoid valve.

  • Publication number: 20130200283
    Abstract: A solenoid valve includes a magnet armature, a sealing element, an armature counterpart, and an intermediate element. The magnet armature is operatively connected to the sealing element to move the sealing element. The armature counterpart is arranged at an end face of the magnet armature. The intermediate element is configured to be brought into supporting contact with the armature counterpart and is supported in a guide opening of the magnet armature in an axially movable manner. The intermediate element is operatively connected to a spring element on a side of the intermediate element facing away from the armature counterpart. The supporting contact is established by a tilting bearing provided on the intermediate element.
