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 surrounds the piston, and a seal for sealing off the valve. The second housing part is composed of metal, and the seal, which seals off the valve, is arranged on that side of the second housing which faces toward the housing.

Claims (18)

1. A valve comprising:

a housing;

a solenoid arranged in the housing;

a pin movable by the solenoid;

a piston connected to the pin;

a second housing part composed of metal that bears against the housing and which partially surrounds the piston, wherein the second housing part has, at its side facing toward the housing, a radially outwardly projecting edge that has recesses; and

a seal for sealing off the valve formed on the radially outwardly projecting edge arranged on that side of the second housing part which faces toward the housing and on that side of the second housing part which faces away from the housing,

wherein the seal is arranged at the radially outwardly projecting edge due to the seal surrounding at least one region of the radially outwardly projecting edge and penetrating the recesses,

wherein a radially outer edge of the seal is radially beyond a radially outer edge of the radially outwardly projecting edge and a radially inner edge of the seal is radially inside the radially outer edge of the radially outwardly projecting edge.

2. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second housing part is composed of at least one of high-grade steel and a chromium-nickel steel.

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

4. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second housing part has a wall thickness of at least one of 0.3 mm to 3 mm and 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

5. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radially outwardly projecting edge at least one of 2 to 20 recesses, 3 to 12 recesses, and 4 to 8 recesses.

6. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recesses are circular or are extended along a circumference of the radially outwardly projecting edge.

7. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recesses account for no more than one of 30% of an area of the edge and no more than 20% of the area of the radially outwardly projecting edge.

8. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second housing part is pressed together with the housing.

9. The valve as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the second housing part is pressed together with a cylindrical portion of the housing.

10. The valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the edge has recesses that are circular or are extended along a circumference of the radially outwardly projecting edge.
