Abstract

A control device for hydraulic media with a control valve, in particular, a proportional valve that has a sleeve housing provided with radial openings, wherein at least one pressurized flow feed line, at least one control line, and at least one return line are connected to the openings, and the opening for the pressurized flow feed line is connected to a ring-shaped groove, with a control slide that has control edges and is supported in the sleeve housing so that it can move in the axial direction and is actuated by an electromagnetically constructed control unit, advantageously for controlling a phase adjustment device for the variable adjustment of the control times of gas exchange valves of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine. A non-return valve is installed in the pressurized flow feed line or in the ring-shaped groove that is arranged in the sleeve housing.

Claims (10)

1. A control device for hydraulic media with a control valve, comprising a sleeve housing provided with radial openings, at least one pressurized flow feed line, at least one control line, and at least one return line are connected to the openings, and at least the opening for the pressurized flow feed line is connected to a ring-shaped groove in the housing, a control slide that has control edges is supported in the sleeve housing for movement in an axial direction and is actuated by a control unit, and a non-return valve is installed in the pressurized flow feed line or in the ring-shaped groove that is arranged in the sleeve housing, the non-return valve includes at least one non-return plate installed into a recess of at least one frame part, wherein the at least one non-return plate is installed within the recess of the at least one frame part via an eyelet formed on the at least one non-return plate.

2. The control valve according to claim 1 , wherein the non-return plate and the frame part have a ring-shaped construction and are arranged in the ring-shaped groove.

3. The control valve according to claim 2 , wherein the non-return plate and the frame part are adapted to each other so that the non-return plate can be brought into a sealing connection with an inner surface of the frame part, and the frame part has flow openings and are guided outside of the openings in a sealed manner in at least one of the ring-shaped groove or on a guide housing surrounding the sleeve housing.

4. The control valve according to claim 2 , wherein there are two of the non-return plates and two of the frame parts, and the non-return plates are guided on one side on the frame parts.

5. The control valve according to claim 4 , wherein the frame parts are clipped, welded, or bonded to each other.

6. The control valve according to claim 4 , wherein the frame parts have guide tabs that are directed inward for the non-return plates.

7. The control valve according to claim 4 , wherein filter fabrics are attached to the frame parts.

8. The control valve according to claim 1 , wherein a one-piece non-return plate is provided that forms a full ring or a slotted full ring.

9. The control valve according to claim 4 , wherein the two frame parts are attached to each other and form a slotted ring element.

10. The control valve according to claim 1 , wherein the control valve is connected to a phase adjustment device for the variable adjustment of the control times of gas exchange valves of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine.
