  • Flow control device
    Patent number: 10359125
    Abstract: A flow control device includes a flow channel composed of non-magnetic material having a center axis, a first length segment having a first diameter, a second length segment, wherein the flow channel expands conically from the first diameter to a second diameter in the second length segment, and a third length segment; a magnetic closing ball, which is movably arranged in the second and third length segments and has a ball diameter that lies between the first and the second diameters; a first, axially polarized (north-south) ring magnet, which is oriented centrally in the center axis and is arranged so as to be longitudinally movable along the center axis and has an inside diameter that is greater than the outside diameter of the flow channel in the third length segment; and a preloading device, which axially pushes the north-south-polarized first ring magnet toward the first length segment.
