Abstract

An electromagnetic adjustment unit of a directional control valve is provided. The individual components of the adjustment unit are to be embodied, arranged, and joined such that the assembly expenditure and the costs during the production are reduced to a minimum.

Claims (14)

1. Electromagnetic adjustment unit of a hydraulic directional control valve comprising:

a housing, at least one armature, and at least one magnet yoke,

the at least one magnet yoke has a tubular section, which is adjacent in an axial direction to an annular section of a larger outer diameter,

a tappet push rod, which can be shifted using the armature, is axially displaceable within the magnet yoke,

the housing has a pot shape with a base, in which an opening is provided, through which the tubular section extends into the housing,

an outer diameter of the tubular section is at least approximately adapted to a diameter of the opening,

the base is supported indirectly or directly on the annular section,

the base and the tubular section are fixed to each other by at least one press-fit section,

the press-fit section comprises at least one material mass, which is formed on the tubular section in an axial direction toward the base and at least partially covers one edge of the opening in the base in a radial direction, with the base pressed against the annular section, and

a mounting flange located on a portion of the annular section, and the base located on a mounting bracket, with the press-fit section securing the base and the mounting flange to the housing, wherein the mounting flange is located on a first shoulder defined in the annular section, and the edge of the opening in the base contacts a second, smaller shoulder on the annular section.

2. Electromagnetic adjustment unit according to claim 1 , wherein the directional control valve comprises a proportional valve.

3. Electromagnetic adjustment unit according to claim 1 , wherein the directional control valve comprises a switching valve.

4. Electromagnetic adjustment unit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one press-fit section is formed over an entire periphery of the tubular section.

5. Electromagnetic adjustment unit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one press-fit section comprises at least two press-fit points, which are spaced apart in a peripheral direction and which are distributed over a periphery of the tubular section.
