Tilting armature valve and method of producing the same
The present invention relates to a tilting armature valve included at least a coil element having at least one coil core and a coil arranged radially around the coil core. The tilting armature valve may further include an armature mounted on a face side of the armature by means of a bearing. Furthermore, the tilting armature valve may include a sealing element arranged on the side of the armature facing the coil element or facing away therefrom. Moreover, the tilting armature valve may include a valve seat having an outlet and an inlet for a fluid, wherein the outlet is closable in a fluid-tight manner by way of the sealing element.

6. The tilting armature valve according to claim 4 , wherein the bump and the further bump are oriented towards each other in a direction forming a rotational axis of the armature.
7. The tilting armature valve according to claim 4 , wherein the ball is pressed and/or moulded into the bearing portion of the armature and/or wherein the introduced ball is introduced into a recess of the armature.
8. The tilting armature valve according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the housing of the tilting armature valve opposite from the bump includes a recess for accommodating the bump, and wherein the portion at least partially encompasses or accommodates the coil.
9. The tilting armature valve according to claim 1 , comprising:
a spring for pushing the at least one bump against the coil element or a housing of the tilting armature valve, and wherein the spring is formed as a leaf spring, leg spring or wire bending element.
10. The tilting armature valve per claim 9 , wherein the spring is arranged on a side of the armature opposite from the coil.
11. The tilting armature valve according claim 9 , wherein the spring is configured to laterally guide the armature and/or hold the armature in a predetermined position.
12. The tilting armature valve according to claim 1 , comprising:
a guiding element axially guiding the armature in a direction is provided between a housing cover and the coil element, and wherein the guiding element includes a needle bearing.
13. The tilting armature valve according to claim 1 , wherein the valve seat is formed as a multipart element, and wherein the elements of the valve seat have been fixed to each other prior to start-up of the tilting armature valve.
14. The tilting armature valve according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing element is usable as a damping element and/or wherein the sealing element has been attached on the armature by way of a vulcanisation method and/or wherein the armature is formed as a damper or sealing element.
15. A method of producing a tilting armature valve, the method comprising:
providing a coil element having at least a coil core and a coil arranged radially around the coil core, an armature mounted by way of a bearing on a face side of the armature, wherein the bearing is formed by a bump in a bearing portion of the armature, a sealing element and a cover shell in which a valve seat is formed with an outlet and an inlet for a fluid;
mounting the coil element, the armature, the sealing element and the cover shell such that the armature is movable from a first position to a second position, the sealing element is arranged on the side of the armature facing away from the coil element, and the outlet is closable in a fluid-tight manner by the sealing element in the first position of the armature and the outlet is released in the second position of the armature;
wherein the bump is represented by a ball incorporated into the bearing portion of the armature.
16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the bump is arranged on a side of the bearing portion of the armature, the bearing portion of the armature facing the coil.
17. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the bump at least partially has a spherical shape or a spherical cap shape.
18. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the bearing portion includes at least one further bump.
19. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the at least one further bump is arranged on a side of the bearing portion of the armature, the bearing portion of the armature facing the coil, and/or wherein the at least one further bump at least partially has a spherical shape or spherical cap shape.
