Abstract

A valve having a housing, a solenoid arranged in the housing, a pin movable by the solenoid, a piston connected to the pin, a second housing part that bears against the housing and which partially accommodates the piston, and a seal arranged between the second housing part and piston. The seal is connected to the second housing part. The seal surrounds a region of the second housing part such that the region forms at least one undercut for the seal.

Claims (27)

1. A valve comprising:

a housing;

a solenoid arranged in the housing;

a pin that has a longitudinal axis and is movable by the solenoid;

a piston connected to the pin;

a second housing part that bears against the housing at a first end and which partially accommodates the piston, wherein a second end of the second housing part extends radially towards the longitudinal axis; and

a seal arranged between the second housing part and piston, wherein the seal consists of a base portion and a single sealing lip, wherein the single sealing lip extends from the base portion at an angle and extends radially towards the longitudinal axis,

wherein the base portion of the seal is integrally formed on and surrounds the second end of the second housing part and surrounds a region of the second housing part such that the region of the second housing part forms at least one undercut for the seal.

2. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one undercut comprises at least one region formed by a radius.

3. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one undercut comprises at least one region has as least one of:

at least one recess,

2 to 12 recesses, and

4 to 8 recesses.

4. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seal is composed of an FKM rubber.

5. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seal is vulcanized on the second housing part.

6. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seal has a sealing lip that acts in an axial direction.

7. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second housing part is composed of at least one of:

metal,

high-grade steel, and

a chromium-nickel steel.

8. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second housing part is a deep-drawn part.

9. The valve as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the piston is at least one of:

metal,

high-grade steel, and

a chromium-nickel steel.

10. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the piston is a deep-drawn part.

11. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one undercut is a recess defined in the second end of the second housing part that extends radially towards the longitudinal axis.
