Abstract

A high pressure control valve system with a valve body with an inlet and an outlet, whereby the outlet is shaped by at least one radially oriented opening in the valve body, an essentially discoidally shaped valve seat arranged on the valve body between inlet and outlet and features a valve body bore that connects inlet and outlet, a sealing element that is appropriately arranged on an actuating element in order to close the valve bore, and an actuating device suitably shaped to move the actuating element in such a way as to cause the opening and closing of the valve, characterized in that the valve seat on the exit site features a revolving extension, extending from a foot print axially in direction of the opening.

Claims (39)

1. A high pressure regulating valve system, comprising:

a valve body having an operative inlet and an operative outlet wherein the outlet is shaped by at least one radially oriented opening within said valve body, one essentially discoidally shaped valve seat arranged in a press-fit configuration with said valve body between said inlet and said outlet;

further including a sealing element which is operatively arranged on an actuating element operative to close a valve bore and an actuating device suitably shaped to move said actuating element to cause axial opening and closing of said valve bore;

wherein said valve seat on an exit side includes a circumferential extension extending axially from a foot print arranged in a direction of said axial opening, said extension further comprising a conically shaped opening therein, and said extension projecting axially in the direction of said axial opening above the sealing element in a closed state of the valve bore, and

wherein when the valve bore is opened, fluid building up at the operative inlet is operatively directed to move along the extension, thereby reducing pressure against laterally extending surfaces of the valve body, and wherein the extension is formed of a hardened material.

2. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 1 , wherein: said extension is operatively shaped as a funnel-shaped expanding collar.

3. A high pressure regulating valve system, comprising:

a valve body having an inlet and an outlet;

said outlet bounding at least one opening radially oriented with said valve body;

an essentially disk-shaped valve seat;

said valve seat operably disposed in a press-fit configuration with said valve body between said inlet and said outlet;

said valve seat having a valve bore in an operable connection with said inlet and said outlet;

a sealing element operably disposed on an actuating element operable to close said valve bore during a use thereof, and

an actuating mechanism being operably configured to move the actuating element and actuate said valve system during said use;

said valve seat including an encircling projection;

said encircling projection extending axially in a direction of said opening from a base surface proximate said outlet, and said encircling projection extending axially in the direction of said opening above the sealing element in a closed state of the valve bore,

wherein when the valve bore is opened, fluid building up at the inlet is operatively directed to move along the encircling projection, thereby reducing pressure against laterally extending surfaces of the valve body, and wherein the encircling projection is formed of a hardened material.

4. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 3 , wherein said projection is a funnel-shaped collar projection.

5. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 4 , wherein said projection covers at least one half of a distance between said base surface and said opening.

6. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 5 , wherein said projection covers at least 90% of said distance between said base surface and said opening.

7. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 6 , wherein said projection covers the entire said distance between said base surface and said opening.

8. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 7 , wherein said projection is operably configured to prevent a flow in a flow direction against said valve body during an open condition for said valve bore.

9. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 8 , wherein said projection further comprises a recess operably shaped to receive said sealing element.

10. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 9 , wherein said the sealing element is configured as a sealing ball.

11. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 10 , wherein said actuating element is configured as an actuating pin.

12. The high pressure regulating valve system according to claim 11 , wherein a flow cross section formed between said sealing element and said projection is operative to reduce a flow turbulence during said use of said high pressure regulating valve system.

13. A high pressure control valve system, comprising:

a valve body having an inlet and an outlet, said outlet bounding at least one opening radially oriented with said valve body;

an essentially disk-shaped valve seat;

said valve seat operably disposed in a press-fit configuration with said valve body between said inlet and said outlet;

said valve seat having a valve bore in an operable connection with said inlet and said outlet;

a sealing element operably disposed on an actuating element operable to close said bore valve during a use thereof;

an actuating mechanism being operably configured to move the actuating element and actuate said valve system during said use;

said valve seat including an encircling projection;

said encircling projection extending axially in a direction of said opening from a base surface proximate said outlet; said projection is a funnel-shaped collar projection;

said projection covers at least one half of a distance between said base surface and said opening; and

said projection further comprises a recess operably shaped to receive said sealing element, and said projection extending axially in the direction of said opening above the sealing element in a closed state of the valve bore,

wherein when the valve bore is opened, fluid building up at the inlet is operatively directed to move along the encircling projection, thereby reducing pressure against laterally extending surfaces of the valve body, and wherein the encircling projection is formed of a hardened material.

14. The high pressure control valve system according to claim 13 , wherein said projection covers at least 90% of said distance between said base surface and said opening.
