Valve
A valve includes a housing, a solenoid arranged in the housing, a pin movable by the solenoid, a pot-shaped piston connected to the pin, and a first seal arranged between the housing and the pot-shaped piston. The pot-shaped piston has, at least in the region of its open end, a radially peripheral second seal that bears against a second housing part when the valve is closed, the second housing part being connected to the housing.
1. A valve comprising:
a housing ( 1 );
a solenoid ( 5 ) arranged in the housing ( 1 );
a pin ( 7 ) movable by the solenoid ( 5 ),
a pot-shaped piston ( 8 ) connected to the pin ( 7 ), the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ) having a base ( 9 ), a cylindrical lateral surface having a height, and an open end;
a first seal ( 10 ) arranged between the housing ( 1 ) and the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ),
wherein the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ) has, at least in a region ( 14 ) of its open end, a radially peripheral second seal ( 15 ) that bears against a second housing part ( 13 ) when the valve is closed, the second housing part ( 13 ) being connected to the housing ( 1 ),
wherein the second seal ( 15 ) and the first seal ( 10 ) are each made of a seal material ( 21 ) and are connected integrally to one another in the region ( 14 ) of the open end and in a region of the base ( 9 ), respectively, such that the seal material ( 21 ) completely covers the cylindrical lateral surface of the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ), over its entire height, both on the inside and on the outside of the cylindrical lateral surface.
2. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second seal ( 15 ) has at least one sealing lip ( 16 ), which is directed radially outward and toward the base ( 9 ) of the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ) and comes into contact with a sealing surface ( 17 ) of the second housing part ( 13 ), wherein the sealing surface ( 17 ) is arranged on a radially inward-facing collar ( 18 ).
3. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second seal ( 15 ) is made of a fluoro rubber.
4. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the region ( 14 ) having the second seal ( 15 ) is configured so as to be up to 30% of the height of the cylindrical lateral surface.
5. The valve as claimed in in claim 1 , wherein the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ) is made of a high-grade steel.
6. The valve as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ) has a wall thickness of at least one selected from the group of: (a) 0.3 mm to 1 mm, (b) 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm and (c) 0.5 mm.
7. The valve as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ) is a deep-drawn part.
8. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first seal ( 10 ) is arranged on the outside in a region of the base ( 9 ) of the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ).
9. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seal material ( 21 ) covers the cylindrical lateral surface of the pot-shaped piston ( 8 ) both on the inside and on the outside.
10. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least the second seal ( 15 ) is vulcanized in the region of the open end ( 14 ).
11. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second housing part ( 13 ) is made of a chromium-nickel steel.
12. The valve as claimed in in claim 5 , wherein the high-grade steel comprises a chromium-nickel steel.
