Abstract

A solenoid valve is disclosed that includes at least one chamber which can be filled with a fluid and which is provided in a housing of the solenoid valve, a closing piston which can be displaced by an actuation device and a spring element which can act against the actuation device. An annular element which divides the chamber into a first and a second sub-chamber is provided, said annular element being at least partially, in particular completely engaged in the axial direction by a closing piston of the solenoid valve arranged in a guide opening of the annular element and comprises at least one fluid passage recess which is different from the guide opening.

Claims (22)

1. A solenoid valve, comprising:

a housing defining at least one fluid-fillable chamber,

an actuation device,

a closing piston displaceable by the actuation device,

a spring element configured to counteract the actuation device, and

a ring element configured to subdivide the chamber into a first subchamber and a second subchamber,

wherein the ring element is penetrated at least partially in the axial direction by the closing piston,

wherein the ring element includes a basic body that defines a guide orifice,

wherein the closing piston is arranged in the guide orifice,

wherein the ring element has at least one fluid passage recess different from the guide orifice, and

wherein at least one of the at least one fluid passage recess is configured as a fluid passage slot that penetrates completely through the basic body of the ring element in both the radial direction and the axial direction such that the ring element forms a “C” shape.

2. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ring element is configured as a tension sleeve or clamping sleeve.

3. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least one fluid passage recess is configured as a fluid passage pocket.

4. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the at least one fluid passage pocket is formed in at least one of an outer circumferential surface and an inner circumferential surface of the basic body of the ring element.

5. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the at least one fluid passage pocket is at least one of channel-shaped, groove-shaped and notch-shaped.

6. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the ring element includes at least one supporting web that is formed next to the at least one fluid passage pocket and bears against an inner wall of the housing.

7. The solenoid valve as claimed claim 6 , wherein at least one of the at least one fluid passage recess is configured as a fluid passage bore defined in the ring element.

8. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least one fluid passage recess extends at least one of straight, obliquely and helically in the axial direction.

9. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fluid passage recess includes a plurality of fluid passage recesses that are distributed over the circumference of the ring element.

10. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the plurality of fluid passage recesses are uniformly distributed over the circumference of the ring element.

11. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ring element possesses a supporting surface that supports the spring element.

12. The solenoid valve as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ring element is penetrated completely in the axial direction by the closing piston.
