  • Patent number: 10094253
    Abstract: A valve device for a hydraulic circuit includes an actuator unit and a valve unit. The actuator unit comprises an electromagnetic circuit comprising an armature which moves in a translational manner, a core, a coil carrier, a coil configured to be energized, and a flux guiding device. The coil is arranged on the coil carrier. The valve unit comprises a valve housing comprising a transverse bore which serves as a first control chamber pressure port, a regulating slide mounted in the valve housing, the regulating slide being configured to move axially, a first outlet port, an inlet port, and a second control chamber pressure port arranged between the inlet port and the first outlet port.

  • Patent number: 9803772
    Abstract: A valve device for a hydraulic circuit includes an actuator unit comprising an electromagnetic circuit which comprises an armature, a core, a coil carrier, a coil, and a flux guiding device. A valve unit comprises a unit formed by a valve tappet and the armature, inlet and outlet ports, and a control port arranged between the inlet and outlet ports. A longitudinal through bore is arranged in the unit to extend from the inlet port into an actuator chamber. A first control body cooperating with a first valve seat and a second control body cooperating with a second valve seat are arranged at the unit in which the longitudinal through bore is formed. The armature and the valve tappet are loaded in an opening direction of the inlet valve by a spring element and are loadable in an opening direction of the outlet port by energizing the electromagnetic circuit.

  • Patent number: 9334978
    Abstract: A valve device for a hydraulic circuit includes an actuator unit, a valve unit and an opening. The actuator unit comprises an electromagnetic circuit comprising a movable armature, a core, a coil configured to be supplied with a current and a flux guiding means, and a space arranged in a valve interior between the armature and the core. The valve unit comprises an outlet, an inlet arranged between the outlet and the space in the valve interior, a valve seat arranged between the inlet and the outlet, and a valve closing body connected with the armature. The valve closing body is spring-loaded towards the valve seat. The opening is arranged at an end of the valve unit opposite to the space. The opening comprises a valve tappet arranged therein. The valve tappet is pressure-loaded and displaceable counter to the valve closing body in an opening direction.

  • Publication number: 20150285395
    Abstract: A flow casing for an oil valve includes a supporting housing comprising a supporting bore. A valve housing is arranged in the supporting bore. A first bore and a second bore are arranged in the valve housing. A first connectable nozzle and a second connection nozzle are each formed in the supporting housing and are each fluidically connectable. The first connectable nozzle is fluidically connected to the first bore. The second connection nozzle is fluidically connected to the second bore. At least one peripheral surface is arranged on the valve housing axially between the first bore and the second bore. The at least one peripheral surface comprises a first groove. A first seal ring is arranged in the first groove on the at least one peripheral surface. The thermal expansion coefficient of the first seal ring is higher than the thermal expansion coefficient of the supporting housing.

  • Publication number: 20150139840
    Abstract: A valve device for a hydraulic circuit includes an actuator unit and a valve unit. The actuator unit comprises a spring element and an electromagnetic circuit. The electromagnetic circuit comprises an armature, a core comprising a passage hole, a coil, and a flux-guiding device. A stop element comprising a passage opening is arranged in the passage hole so that a gap exists between the core and the armature when actuating the actuator unit. The valve unit comprises a first opening, a second opening, a third opening formed opposite the actuator unit, a first valve seat between the first and second opening, a second valve seat formed between the first and third opening, a first valve closure body connected to the armature and loaded by the spring element, and a second valve closing body loaded by hydraulic pressure and lifted from the second valve seat by the first valve closure body.

  • Publication number: 20130264507
    Abstract: A solenoid valve includes a plug connection, at least one valve sleeve comprising at least one valve seat, at least one valve closure element which acts on the at least one valve seat, and a housing. Within the housing are arranged a core, a coil, an armature/plunger arrangement, and a multiple-part return-path arrangement, which together form an electromagnetic circuit. The coil is wound onto a coil former. The armature/plunger arrangement is movable and acts directly or indirectly on the at least one valve closure element. The armature/plunger arrangement is mounted in the coil former via a bearing and comprises at least one armature part and a plunger part. The plunger part is arranged in the valve sleeve and is moveable therein. The armature part is mounted in the coil former via the bearing. The armature part and the plunger part are connected to each other via the plug connection.
