Publication number: 20240118718Abstract: A pressure-reducing valve including a valve support with at least one through-flow channel, and a pot-shaped valve body which is displaceably guided against a restoring force from an open position into a closed position at a guide journal which protrudes into the pot-shaped interior of the valve body. In the closed position, the valve body rests via a peripheral edge of its pot shape against a valve seat provided on the valve support, so that the valve body closes at least one channel opening of the at least one through-flow channel. At least one wiper lip protrudes at the inner circumference of the pot of the valve body and/or at the outer circumference of the guide journal, and the wiper lip moves close to or rests against the outer circumference of the journal or the inner circumference of the pot of the adjacent component.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventors: Martin FANGMEIER, Matthias HAUTH, Burkhard MEYER

Publication number: 20230235826Abstract: A check valve having a valve that is movable by incoming water in the flow direction, from a closed position, where it bears against a first valve seat, against a restoring force into an open position, where it is raised from the first valve seat, and having a pressure relief valve with a closing member that is movable by pressure of the water flowing back against the flow direction, from a closed position, in which it bears against a second valve seat, against a restoring force into an open position where it is raised from the second valve seat. The restoring force acting on the closing member is greater than the restoring force acting on the valve body. The closing member has a closing member core made of a first material, and at least in the partial region thereof that abuts the second valve seat in the closed position, has a film or a layer made of a second relatively softer and/or elastic material.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2021Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventor: Martin FANGMEIER

Publication number: 20220136613Abstract: A pressure reducing valve with a valve housing, with a valve carrier in the housing interior having a throughflow channel, and with a cup-shaped valve body displaceably guided from an open position into a closed position counter to a restoring force, where the valve body abuts a valve seat on the valve carrier formed as a sealing ring, closing a channel opening. The sealing ring is held in an annular groove of the valve carrier and is axially supported by the groove flanks. The groove flank which faces the valve body ends in front of the inner circumference thereof, which abuts the sealing ring when the pressure reducing valve is closed. A sealing-lip-like circumferential molded-on formation is molded on that end face of the sealing ring which faces the valve body, and this formation moves against the inner circumference of the valve body when the primary pressure on the inlet side of the valve rises.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Applicant: Neoperl GmbHInventor: Martin FANGMEIER
