Separate valve seating
A device including a valve array which is adapted to allow and block a fluid flow, wherein the valve array includes: a fluid channel; a valve seating; and a closing body, for example a rotationally symmetrical or spherical closing body, which is arranged in the fluid channel. The valve array is configured to allow a fluid flow when the closing body is lifted off the valve seating, and to prevent a fluid flow when the closing body rests against the valve seating. The valve seating is formed by a valve seating body, for example an annular valve seating body, which is arranged in or on the fluid channel.
1. A device comprising a first pump and a second pump arranged on the first pump, and a valve array which is adapted to allow and block a fluid flow, wherein the valve array comprises:
a fluid channel formed by a pump housing of the first pump;
a valve seating; and
a closing body, which is arranged in the fluid channel of the first pump, wherein the valve array is configured to allow a fluid flow when the closing body is lifted off the valve seating, and to prevent a fluid flow when the closing body rests against the valve seating,
wherein the valve seating is formed by a valve seating body, which is arranged in or on the fluid channel of the first pump,
the device further comprising a component part, wherein the second pump comprises a fluid channel, which is connected in fluid communication with the fluid channel of the first pump, such that the second pump is able to deliver fluid through the valve array of the first pump, and wherein the valve seating body protrudes out of the pump housing of the first pump, and
wherein a portion of the valve seating body protrudes into the component part
and/or
the component part is centered on or by the valve seating body.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the component part is one of a cover of the first pump, a housing of the second pump, an intermediate housing, or an intermediate plate.
3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the component part comprises an inner circumferential wall which surrounds an outer circumference of the valve seating body and is in centered on it.
4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the valve seating body is held on an inner circumference of the fluid channel in at least one of a frictional fit, a form-fit, a bonding fit or a surmountable bonding fit.
5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the valve seating body is adapted to be moved relative to the fluid channel.
6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the valve seating body is adapted to be shifted from a first holding position, in which it is held on the inner circumference of the fluid channel in a surmountable frictional fit or in a surmountable form-fit, in the second direction to a second holding position in which a movement of the valve seat body in the second direction is blocked.
7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein in the second holding position, the valve seating body is held on the inner circumference of the fluid channel in a frictional fit and/or held on the inner circumference of the fluid channel or on the component part, which is separate from the inner circumferential wall of the fluid channel and on which the valve seating body is supported in the second direction, in a form-fit.
8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the valve seating body rests against the component part or can assume a position in which the valve seating body rests against the component part.
9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the component part is one of a cover, the second pump or a second housing of the second pump.
10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pump is adapted to deliver fluid to an outlet via a delivery chamber and an outlet channel which connects the delivery chamber and the outlet, wherein the fluid channel and the outlet channel merge, such that fluid can be delivered from the delivery chamber to the outlet via the outlet channel and/or the fluid channel of the valve array.
11. The device according to claim 10 , wherein a valve which is arranged between the delivery chamber and the outlet is adapted to allow a fluid flow from the delivery chamber to the outlet and to block it in the opposite direction, wherein the fluid channel and the outlet channel merge between the valve and the outlet.
12. The device according to claim 1 , wherein an outlet of the first pump is connected in fluid communication with a fluid consumer, wherein the first pump is preferably arranged on a housing of the fluid consumer or is or can be fastened to a housing of the fluid consumer.
13. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the closing body is a rotationally symmetrical or spherical closing body.
14. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the valve seating body is an annular valve seating body.
