Abstract

A pivoted armature for an electromagnetic pivoted armature solenoid valve, comprises a bearing and a seal, wherein the pivoted armature comprises a first sub-body and a second sub-body, the seal and the bearing being arranged between the first sub-body and the second sub-body and the first sub-body being connected to the second sub-body in a loss-proof manner.

Claims (28)

1 . A pivoted armature for an electromagnetic pivoted armature solenoid valve, which comprises a bearing and a seal, the pivoted armature comprising a first sub-body and a second sub-body, the first sub-body being connected to the second sub-body in a loss-proof manner,

wherein the seal and the bearing are arranged between the first sub-body and the second sub-body, and

wherein the first sub-body and/or the second sub-body have/bas a substantially disk-like shape.

2 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seal is inserted between the first sub-body and the second sub-body.

3 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first sub-body and/or the second sub-body comprise(s) at least one recess which is formed to at least partially receive the seal.

4 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bearing comprises an bearing axle.

5 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the bearing axle is clamped between the first sub-body and the second sub-body in the connected state of the first and second sub-bodies.

6 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first sub-body is connected to the second sub-body by clinching, welding, adhesive bonding or riveting.

7 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pivoted armature comprises, when viewed in a circumferential direction of the pivoted armature, at least one material cut-out.

8 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the pivoted armature comprises, when viewed in a circumferential direction of the pivoted armature, at least two material cut-outs, and wherein the at least two material cut-outs are arranged on the armature in such a manner that two mutually opposite end portions of the bearing axle are exposed.

9 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, when the first and second sub-bodies are in the connected state, a rotation axis of the pivoted armature is arranged in a middle plane of the pivoted armature, which is located orthogonally to an axis of rotational symmetry of the pivoted armature.

10 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first sub-body comprises at least in regions a trough-like depression and the second sub-body comprises at least in regions a journal-like projection corresponding to the trough-like depression.

11 . The pivoted armature as claimed in claim 10 , wherein when the first and second sub-bodies are in the connected state, the journal-like projection is centered relative to the trough-like depression and engages therein.

12 . An electromagnetic pivoted armature solenoid valve comprising a valve housing ( 142 ), further comprising a coil core which is arranged in the valve housing and is at least partially surrounded by an electromagnetically activatable coil, and comprising a pivoted armature as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pivoted armature is connected to the valve housing so as to be pivotable and/or foldable about at least one bearing axle and is configured to cooperate with a fixed valve seat so that, in response to the coil being supplied with electrical power, closing or releasing of the valve seat can be carried out.

13 . A method for producing a pivoted armature for an electromagnetic pivoted armature solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , comprising the following steps:

providing a first sub-body of the pivoted armature, a second sub-body of the pivoted armature, a seal and a bearing;

inserting the seal in the first sub-body;

inserting the bearing in the first sub-body;

positioning the second sub-body relative to the first sub-body; and

joining the first sub-body with the second sub-body to form the pivoted armature.

14 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the step of joining comprises as a joining process clinching, welding, adhesive bonding and/or riveting.

15 . A pivoted armature for an electromagnetic pivoted armature solenoid valve, which comprises a bearing and a seal, the pivoted armature comprising a first sub-body and a second sub-body, the first sub-body being connected to the second sub-body in a loss-proof manner,

wherein the seal and the bearing are arranged between the first sub-body and the second sub-body,

wherein the bearing comprises a bearing axle, and

wherein the pivoted armature comprises, when viewed in a circumferential direction of the pivoted armature, at least two material cut-outs, and wherein the at least two material cut-outs are arranged on the armature in such a manner that two mutually opposite end portions of the bearing axle are exposed.

16 . A pivoted armature for an electromagnetic pivoted armature solenoid valve, which comprises a bearing and a seal, the pivoted armature comprising a first sub-body and a second sub-body, the first sub-body being connected to the second sub-body in a loss-proof manner,

wherein the seal and the bearing are arranged between the first sub-body and the second sub-body, and

wherein the first sub-body comprises at least in regions a trough-like depression and the second sub-body comprises at least in regions a journal-like projection corresponding to the trough-like depression.
