  • Patent number: 9765895
    Abstract: A switching valve having a valve seat with a longitudinal axis (L) and having a valve plate with a valve plate surface which can be placed into a pass-through position, in which the switching valve is open, and into a closed position, in which the switching valve is closed and the valve plate bears with the valve plate surface, in a contact region, against the valve seat, wherein the valve plate has a modulus of elasticity of at least 1000 N/mm2, which switching valve is characterized in that the valve plate, in the closed position, is deformed by a closing force acting thereon, in such a way that the contact region of the valve plate surface in the closed position forms an angle ?, which differs from 0°, with the contact region of the valve plate surface in the pass-through position.

  • Publication number: 20130119287
    Abstract: The invention relates to a switching valve having a valve seat (8) with a longitudinal axis (L) and having a valve plate (2) with a valve plate surface (6) which can be placed into a pass-through position, in which the switching valve is open, and into a closed position, in which the switching valve is closed and the valve plate (2) bears with the valve plate surface (6), in a contact region (10), against the valve seat (8), wherein the valve plate has a modulus of elasticity of at least 1000 N/mm2, which switching valve is characterized in that the valve plate (2), in the closed position, is deformed by a closing force acting thereon, in such a way that the contact region (10) of the valve plate surface (6) in the closed position forms an angle ?, which differs from 0°, with the contact region (10) of the valve plate surface (6) in the pass-through position.
