Publication number: 20250198142Abstract: In order to simplify the manufacture of an insert part, which has two web structures, each of which forms a plurality of webs, it is proposed that the insert part is manufactured by a molding process in such a way that the two web structures touch each other in respective contact surfaces, but nevertheless remain separated from each other by a mold parting plane. This has the technical advantage that the respective outer contour of the webs of the respective web structure can be defined exclusively with a respective mold part without an offset of the respective other mold part having a negative effect on the shaping of the webs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2023Publication date: June 19, 2025Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventors: Mathias REHM, Marc TEMPEL

Publication number: 20240117892Abstract: A sanitary valve having a main valve and a pilot valve by which the main valve is actuatable between open and closed positions. A valve diaphragm movable by a valve tappet connected to a push-push mechanism provides for switching between switching positions corresponding to open and closed positions. The main and pilot valves are in an inner housing that is rotatably mounted in an outer housing. The outer and inner housings have paired valve openings, with a first valve opening pair arranged coaxially to a rotational axis designed as a valve outlet and a second valve opening pair provided as a valve inlet. The second pair is movable into congruence according to the rotational position between the outer and inner housings so the clear opening cross-section, kept free, of the at least one valve inlet produced by the congruence of the second valve openings is modified.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventors: Jacek KOWOL, Marc TEMPEL, Yichao BIAN

Patent number: 11892094Abstract: A valve arrangement having a main valve and having a pilot valve which is provided for controlling the main valve and which is inserted into a pilot valve receptacle in an insertion direction, wherein, through closure of the pilot valve, a pressure is able to be built up within a pressure chamber which is closed off by a diaphragm, whereby a valve seat between a main valve inlet and a main valve outlet is able to be closed off. By opening the pilot valve, it is possible to set a release of pressure within the pressure chamber by water flowing away via an inflow, connected to the pressure chamber, of the pilot valve receptacle and via a pilot valve inlet, adjoining the latter and formed by a main body of the pilot valve. A pilot valve outlet, formed by the main body, and via an outflow, adjoining said pilot valve outlet, into the main valve outlet, opens into the main valve outlet on the outflow side of the diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: NEOPERL GMBHInventors: Yichao Bian, Marc Tempel
