  • Patent number: 12196166
    Abstract: In order to provide a solenoid valve (1) with a valve housing (2), in which an electric coil (3) and a magnet armature (5) are arranged, and with a valve element (8) which can be actuated by the magnet armature (5) in an axial actuation direction for opening and closing the solenoid valve (1), wherein a valve lift of the valve element (8) can be limited in a simple manner, it is provided according to the invention that the coil (3) be arranged on a coil carrier (4), wherein an end section (4a), axially facing the magnet armature (5), of the coil carrier (4) is designed as an end stop for the magnet armature (5) in order to limit an axial movement of the magnet armature (5), and that the coil carrier (4) be formed from a plastic, wherein the coil (3) is at least partially integrated into the coil carrier (4).

  • Publication number: 20230272762
    Abstract: In order to reduce the friction of a dry-running solenoid valve (1) with a valve housing (2), in which an electric coil (3) and a magnet armature (5) are arranged, and with a valve element (8) which can be actuated by the magnet armature (5) in an axial actuating direction for opening and closing the solenoid valve (1), in which the coil (3) generates a magnetic flux which, when the solenoid valve (1) is actuated, flows via a magnetically conductive valve housing outer wall (2c) of the valve housing (2) to the magnet armature (5), it is provided according to the invention that a magnetically conductive flux element (12) be provided in the valve housing (2) and introduce at least 80%, preferably at least 90%, and particularly preferably 100%, of the magnetic flux flowing over the valve housing outer wall (2c) into an armature end face (5B), facing the coil (3), of the magnet armature (5).
