Abstract

A solenoid valve ( 10 ) comprises a coil core ( 15 ), a yoke ( 16 ), a valve chamber ( 13 ), an inlet armature ( 11 ) upstream of an inlet ( 17 ) of the valve chamber ( 13 ), an outlet armature ( 12 ) upstream of a first outlet ( 18 ) of the valve chamber ( 13 ), and a second outlet ( 19 ) at the valve chamber ( 13 ), wherein the inlet armature ( 11 ) and outlet armature ( 12 ) can move and the inlet ( 17 ) and first outlet ( 18 ) lie opposite one another. In the solenoid valve ( 10 ), the inlet ( 17 ) and the second outlet ( 19 ) are connected to one another by way of an equalizing system having a non-return valve ( 25 ), wherein the non-return valve ( 25 ) is open towards the inlet ( 17 ).

Claims (20)

1. A solenoid valve comprising:

a coil core,

a yoke,

a valve chamber,

an inlet armature downstream of an inlet of the valve chamber,

an outlet armature upstream of a first outlet of the valve chamber, and

a second outlet on the valve chamber, wherein the inlet armature and the outlet armature can move and the inlet and first outlet-lie opposite one another,

wherein the inlet and second outlet are connected to one another by way of an equalizing system having a non-return valve in an equalizing line, such that, in the case of a higher pressure at the second outlet than at the inlet, fluid flows through the equalizing line from the second outlet to the inlet, and wherein the non-return valve is open towards the inlet.

2. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inlet armature includes a tapered end that is facing the outlet armature, and wherein the outlet armature comprises an end having an inner taper that corresponds to said tapered end of the inlet armature.

3. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising at least one magnetic coil and yoke arms that are arranged in a transverse manner with respect to an axis of the coil core in such a manner that an imaginary projection line of one of the yoke arms intersects the outlet armature in the case of a closed first outlet in the region of the inner taper of the outlet armature.

4. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising precisely one magnetic coil so as to move the inlet armature and the outlet armature.

5. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outlet armature is spring-loaded and closes the first outlet in a non-energized state of the solenoid valve.

6. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inlet armature and the outlet armature are each spring-loaded in such a manner that the first outlet is closed and the inlet is open when not energized with a current, and that in the case of a full supply of current the inlet is closed and the first outlet is open.

7. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a non-magnetic spacing piece between the inlet armature and the outlet armature.

8. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inlet armature and the outlet armature are configured in such a manner that a space is defined between the coil core and the outlet armature.

9. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a non-magnetic spacing piece between the inlet armature and the coil core.

10. An ABS relay valve comprising the solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 .

11. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inlet armature and the outlet armature can move in a coaxial manner.

12. A commercial vehicle comprising the solenoid valve of claim 1 .

13. A commercial vehicle comprising the ABS relay valve of claim 10 .
