Electromagnetically actuated valve
An electromagnetically actuated valve includes at least one sleeve and a magnet armature. A magnetic core is arranged in a stationary manner in the at least one sleeve. The magnet armature is configured to actuate a valve element and is axially movable. An elastically deformable spring element is clamped and retained between a core end face of the magnetic core facing the magnet armature and an armature end face of the magnet armature facing the magnetic core. The spring element forms at least one contact point in conjunction with the armature end face and the core end face. The contour of the spring element, the armature end face and/or the core end face are formed in the radial extent such that a radial position of the at least one contact point changes as a function of a distance of the armature end face from the core end face.
1. An electromagnetically actuated valve, comprising:
at least one sleeve;
a magnet core arranged in a fixed manner in the at least one sleeve;
a magnet armature configured to actuate a valve element and arranged so as to be axially movable; and
an elastically deformable spring element held in a clampable manner between a core end face of the magnet core facing the magnet armature and an armature end face of the magnet armature facing the magnet core,
wherein the spring element is configured to form at least one contact point with each of the armature end face and the core end face,
wherein a contour of at least one of the spring element, the armature end face, and the core end face is shaped in a radial extent such that a radial position of at least one of the contact points changes as a function of a distance between the armature end face and the core end face, and
wherein the contour of the spring element defines a stepped configuration in a radial extent.
2. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contour of the at least one of the spring element, the armature end face, and the core end face is shaped such that a distance between the contact points changes as a function of the distance between the armature end face and the core end face.
3. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spring element is configured to form a contact line or a contact surface with one or more of the armature end face and the core end face, respectively.
4. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spring element is formed as a disk spring.
5. The valve as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the spring element is formed as a flat disk spring.
6. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contour of the armature end face and the core end face has one of a curved configuration and a stepped configuration in the radial extent.
7. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contour of the armature end face and the core end face is a curvature having at least one radius.
8. The valve as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the at least one radius includes a plurality of different radii.
9. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contour of the armature end face, and the core end face is a stepped contour having at least one successive steps equally or differently graduated and equally or differently spaced.
10. The valve as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the at least one successive steps includes a plurality of successive steps.
11. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the armature end face and the core end face are configured so as to be at least substantially complementary to one another.
12. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the spring element is formed as a diaphragm spring and the core end face and the armature end face have one of a curved configuration and stepped configuration.
13. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the valve is for hydraulic systems of motor vehicles.

at least one sleeve;
a magnet core arranged in a fixed manner in the at least one sleeve;
a magnet armature configured to actuate a valve element and arranged so as to be axially movable; and
an elastically deformable flat spring element held in a clampable manner between a core end face of the magnet core facing the magnet armature and an armature end face of the magnet armature facing the magnet core,
wherein the spring element is configured to form at least one contact point with the armature end face, and
wherein the armature end face defines a stepped configuration in the radial extent to provide at least three spring element contact points for contacting the spring element as the magnet core and the magnet armature move toward each other.
15. The valve as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the spring element is formed as a disk spring.
16. The valve as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the spring element is formed as a flat disk spring.
