The hinged armature is designed as two partial bodies with the seal and bearing inserted between them, allowing for simplified assembly without welding or vulcanization, and the bearing axis is aligned in the center plane for stability, enabling easier production and improved durability.
This design facilitates cost-effective mass production, enhances seal rigidity and longevity, and reduces internal torsional moments, resulting in improved functional reliability and reduced manufacturing costs.
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a hinged armature for an electromagnetic hinged armature solenoid valve according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for producing such a hinged armature. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an electromagnetic hinged armature solenoid valve with such a hinged armature.
[0002] Such hinged armatures are generally known for their use in hinged armature solenoid valves, which are also referred to as flat armature solenoid valves. In the known hinged armature solenoid valves, the hinged armatures can be moved or folded electromagnetically between an open position and a closed position via a coil that surrounds a coil core. The electromagnetically induced folding movement of the hinged armature exposes or closes a valve seat, thus implementing the valve functionality. The known hinged armatures usually have a flat, disc-like shape and are designed as a one-piece body. The mobility of the hinged armature relative to the valve seat of the hinged armature solenoid valve is made possible by a one-sided attachment or articulated connection of the hinged armature, e.g., to a valve housing, so that the hinged armature can rotate about an axis of rotation around the articulated connection.The sealing between the hinged armature and the valve seat is achieved in the closed position of the valve by a seal provided in the hinged armature resting against the valve seat in such a way that it can be closed in a liquid-tight manner.
[0003] DE 10 2016 125 950 A1, for example, discloses a hinged-armature solenoid valve comprising a valve housing, a coil with a coil core, and a one-piece hinged armature. The hinged armature is constructed in one piece and is movably connected to the valve housing via a hinged joint, wherein the hinged joint is rotatably mounted in joint sockets, for example, by means of two bearing pins protruding from the hinged armature. Typically, these bearing pins or bearing axes are individually fixed to two opposite side surfaces (viewed in the vertical direction of the hinged armature) using a welding or bonding process. Thus, this design requires two bearing pins, each of which must be fixed. This results in an additional requirement for individual parts. Furthermore, the production of the hinged armature is more complex, as multiple manufacturing steps are required to provide the bearing.Furthermore, the known fastening method is disadvantageous in that a high force transmission must be ensured during the opening and closing of the hinged anchor, requiring the connection between the bearing axis and the hinged anchor to be particularly stable, which also requires additional design effort. Furthermore, due to the design, it is not possible to position the bearing axes congruent with the center plane of the hinged anchor with respect to their respective rotation axes, viewed in a vertical direction, which could cause an internal torsional moment within the hinged anchor.
[0004] The installation of the seal also proves to be disadvantageous with the conventional hinged armatures, as it often has to be attached to the armature using a complex vulcanization process. Alternatively, the seal can also be designed as a plug-in seal or a retractable seal. The latter types of seal attachment have the disadvantage that the sealing element must be very soft, and in the installed position of the seal, this can lead to undesired deformation, increased wear, slipping out, and / or tearing of the seal. All of this, in turn, has a negative impact on the longevity and functional reliability of the hinged armature solenoid valve.
[0005] DE 71 16 788 U already discloses a valve with a tilting armature actuated by an electromagnet, prestressed by a spring, fixedly supported on a portion of the magnetic core, and with a valve seat directed toward the armature and closable by the latter. A plate is attached to the surface of the armature by means of a retaining plate, the downward-facing tongues of which are clamped to the armature. The retaining plate is provided with a recess, and the rubber plate is provided with a recess through which the angled end of a leaf spring extends. The lower, angled end of the leaf spring projects into a rectangular, or at least non-circular, groove in the surface of the armature. This groove is only slightly longer than the width of the leaf spring, so that the armature can neither move in a straight line nor rotate in its plane, but can tilt around the edge of the limb of the magnetic core.
[0006] US 2,587,356 A also discloses a valve. A flexible diaphragm is clamped circumferentially between cast parts by means of sealing means, with the diaphragm extending transversely across a chamber over the seats. On one side, the diaphragm carries a rigid support disc with elastic circular valve elements mounted thereon for closing the connection with the seats. On the other side, the diaphragm carries an electromagnet armature, the armature having a width smaller than the outer boundary.
[0007] The aforementioned disadvantages lead to the consequence that cost-effective large-scale or mass production of pivoting armature solenoid valves is only possible to a very limited extent, and accordingly, this valve technology has not yet been able to exploit its full potential due to cost constraints. Therefore, there is an inherent need to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages of the state of the art.
[0008] Based on the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention is therefore based on the object of further developing a hinged armature for an electromagnetic hinged armature solenoid valve in such a way that the above-mentioned disadvantages can be overcome in a constructive manner.
[0009] To achieve this object, a hinged anchor according to the invention with a bearing and a seal is proposed. The hinged anchor according to the invention comprises a first partial body and a second partial body, wherein the seal and the bearing are arranged between the first partial body and the second partial body, and the first partial body is captively connected to the second partial body.
[0010] A main advantage of the hinged anchor according to the invention can be seen in its structural design, since the provision of the two partial bodies when the hinged anchor is not in the assembled state creates the possibility of inserting the seal and the bearing between the two partial bodies. The hinged anchor is then created by joining the first partial body and the second partial body, between which the seal and the bearing are inserted. In contrast to the prior art, the hinged anchor is therefore no longer designed as a single piece in the form of a single disc-shaped component, but is composed of two partial bodies. This makes production considerably easier. Also, for example, the attachment of the bearing is made considerably easier compared to the prior art, since, for example, the bearing in the form of a bearing rod or bearing axis can be clamped between the two partial bodies.This eliminates the need for an otherwise complex welding or bonding process. The inventive design of the hinged armature also allows the seal to exhibit greater rigidity and thus a longer service life, since no insertion or vulcanization of the seal is necessary for its installation. Rather, the seal can preferably simply be inserted between the first and second partial bodies. Overall, the production of the hinged armature can be simplified in a surprisingly simple manner, enabling mass production and automation in a cost-effective manner.
[0011] The term "hinged armature" is understood here to mean a flat armature or an armature in a synonymous manner. The hinged armature is preferably essentially disc-shaped in the assembled state. "Essentially disc-shaped" here refers to the outermost, circumferential basic shape, without taking into account recesses or material cutouts. The hinged armature can, for example, have a round or oval basic shape when viewed in cross-section. Depending on the valve design, a square shape is also possible in principle. The hinged armature is preferably characterized by having at least one flat side, which, when installed, points toward the valve seat. It can also be advantageous if the hinged armature has two opposing flat sides.
[0012] Each partial body is characterized by having a substantially disc-shaped, in particular cylindrical, basic shape with a specific thickness. "Substantially disc-shaped" here refers to the outermost, circumferential basic shape, without taking into account any recesses or material cutouts. The respective base body can, for example, have a round or oval shape when viewed in cross-section. Depending on the valve design, a square shape is also possible in principle. At least one of the partial bodies is characterized by having at least one flat side, which, when connected, corresponds to the preferred, at least one flat side of the hinged armature. Preferably, an outer contour of the first partial body coincides with an outer contour of the second partial body. The first partial body and the second partial body are thus preferably identical in contour orCongruent (considered for a respective essentially disc-shaped cross-section). The first partial body may differ from the second partial body in terms of its thickness.
[0013] A "seal" in this context refers to any type of sealing material suitable for insertion between the two component bodies and having the rigidity required for the valve function. For example, it can be a sealing body with a predetermined rigidity, which can be made of rubber, a (synthetic) caoutchouc, or similar material.
[0014] Furthermore, to achieve the above-mentioned object, a method for producing a hinged armature for an electromagnetic hinged armature solenoid valve is proposed, which is characterized by at least the following steps: Providing a first partial body of the hinged armature, a second partial body of the hinged armature, a seal, and a bearing. Inserting the seal into the first partial body or into the second partial body. Inserting the bearing into the first partial body or into the second partial body. Positioning the second partial body relative to the first partial body and joining the first partial body with the second partial body to form the hinged armature.
[0015] It is understood that the steps of the method according to the invention do not necessarily have to be carried out in the stated order. Furthermore, one or more intermediate steps can also be carried out between the stated steps without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the method according to the invention. For example, it does not matter into which of the partial bodies the seal and / or the bearing is inserted. The steps can be carried out either manually, semi-automatically, or fully automatically. For example, it would be possible to carry out the steps using an industrial robot, thus enabling automated production of the hinged armature. This can in particular reduce the manufacturing costs and the manufacturing time, and thus the resulting manufactured product (i.e. the hinged armature) can be manufactured more cheaply.
[0016] The object is also achieved by an electromagnetic hinged-armature solenoid valve comprising a valve housing, a coil core arranged in the valve housing, which is surrounded at least in sections by an electromagnetically activatable coil, and an embodiment of the hinged armature according to the invention. The hinged armature is particularly preferably connected to the valve housing so that it can pivot and / or fold about at least one bearing axis and is designed to interact with a stationary valve seat, so that the valve seat can be closed or released in response to energizing the coil.
[0017] The valve housing can, for example, be made from an injection-molded part. In principle, it also appears possible to produce the valve housing using a 3D printing process in order to be able to realize complex shapes. The hinged armature solenoid valve preferably comprises at least one inlet and at least one outlet, wherein the valve seat is preferably arranged on the outlet or surrounds the outlet. It is particularly preferred if the hinged armature is preloaded against the valve seat by means of a spring when the coil is de-energized, so that the valve is closed in this state. This simple implementation of a normally closed (NC) valve appears particularly advantageous from an energy perspective, since electrical energy is only required to open the valve.Alternative designs of the valve seat and / or a preferably used spring means, in particular the provision of a possible (axial) opening through the coil core, are fundamentally possible and, in particular, enable a variation of the valve topology. For example, in contrast to an NC 2 / 2-way valve topology, an NO 2 / 2-way valve topology (NO = Normally Open = NO) is conceivable, i.e., a normally open topology with two inlets or outlets and / or two switching positions. Alternatively, a 3 / 2-way valve topology is also feasible.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the seal is inserted between the first partial body and the second partial body. This configuration is structurally advantageous because it enables simple assembly of the hinged armature. In particular, pulling in or vulcanizing can be dispensed with. Instead, the seal can be easily inserted between the first partial body and the second partial body and can thus be brought into a predetermined position before the two partial bodies are joined. In principle, it is arbitrary where the seal is inserted between the partial bodies. This depends essentially on the design of the respective hinged armature solenoid valve and the position and positioning of the valve seat within the hinged armature solenoid valve.
[0019] In In a further preferred embodiment, the first partial body and / or the second partial body comprises at least one recess which is shaped to at least partially accommodate the seal. It is understood that in principle only one of the two partial bodies can comprise the recess in order to completely accommodate the seal. Which of the two partial bodies has the recess is in principle arbitrary. It is also possible for both partial bodies to each comprise a recess which corresponds to one another, so that the seal is, for example, partially accommodated in the first partial body and partially accommodated in the second partial body. It is also particularly preferred if the recess is provided, for example, in the form of a stepped bore in the first and / or second partial body. Such a stepped bore has, for example, a step or a, for example circular, shoulder region, on which orwhich the seal can rest upon when inserted, preventing the seal from falling out and providing a support area for the seal. Furthermore, the recess preferably has a through-bore, which is preferably dimensioned such that the valve seat can be inserted into the through-bore when the hinged-armature solenoid valve is in the closed position. Thus, when the valve is closed, the valve seat in question is only in contact with the seal and does not touch the partial body surrounding the seal. This allows complete sealing to be achieved, since the sealing barrier is formed directly between the seal and the valve seat.
[0020] In a further preferred embodiment, the bearing comprises a bearing axis, in particular one that is rod-shaped. The bearing is therefore, for example, rod-shaped and dimensioned such that, when inserted between the two partial bodies, two opposite end regions of the bearing, viewed in their longitudinal direction, protrude beyond a circumferential contour of the hinged armature or of the respective partial body. This enables the hinged armature to be fastened, for example, to counter-bearings in the valve housing. The bearing is preferably designed as a round rod, the diameter of which is smaller than the thickness of a disc of the disc-shaped hinged armature. The two partial bodies of the hinged armature preferably each comprise an elongated recess, for example in the form of a groove with a (partially) round cross-section, into which the bearing can be inserted. Such a groove serves, in particular, as a centering aid when assembling the hinged armature orwhen positioning the bearing axis or the bearing rod relative to the respective partial body. The bearing axis can preferably, viewed along its longitudinal extent, have a centered annular collar, to which there is a corresponding recess in at least one of the partial bodies, so that centering of the bearing axis relative to the respective partial body can be easily ensured. The recess or groove receiving the bearing axis is preferably dimensioned such that clamping, for example, a fitting of the bearing axis in the groove or recess is possible. As a result, the bearing is connected to the respective partial body of the hinged anchor in a particularly simple manner in a rotationally fixed manner.
[0021] In a further preferred embodiment, the bearing axis, in particular a rod-shaped one, is clamped between the first and second partial bodies when the first and second partial bodies are connected. In principle, it is also possible for the bearing axis to be glued, soldered, or welded between the first and second partial bodies, alternatively or additionally.
[0022] In a further preferred embodiment, the first partial body is connected to the second partial body by clinching, welding, gluing, or riveting. In principle, other joining techniques are also conceivable that are suitable for connecting the first partial body to the second partial body in a captive, i.e., fixed, and particularly immovable manner relative to one another.
[0023] In a further preferred embodiment, the first partial body and / or the second partial body has a substantially disc-shaped shape. It should be noted that the hinged armature also has a substantially disc-shaped shape when the first and second partial bodies are connected. The term "substantially disc-shaped" is understood here to mean that the respective partial body is designed to be disc-shaped with respect to an imaginary cross-sectional contour, without taking into account any recesses or other material cutouts.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment, the hinged armature comprises at least one material cutout, viewed along a circumferential direction of the hinged armature. This material cutout may, for example, have structural reasons or serve to make the hinged armature lighter in weight, so that less force is required to open and / or close the valve. The shape of the material cutouts is fundamentally arbitrary.
[0025] In a further preferred embodiment, at least two of the material cutouts are arranged on the armature in such a way that two opposing end sections of the, in particular, rod-shaped bearing axis are exposed. Thus, the two partial bodies can have, for example, rectangular notches or the like, through which the end sections of the bearing are exposed when the two partial bodies are connected. This enables the hinged armature to be attached to the valve housing or to counter-bearings of the valve housing.
[0026] In a further preferred embodiment, an axis of rotation of the hinged armature, when the first and second partial bodies are connected, is arranged in a center plane of the hinged armature that is orthogonal to a rotational symmetry axis of the hinged armature. The axis of rotation is thus preferably arranged congruently in the center plane. This represents a difference compared to the prior art, since in the prior art the axis of rotation of the bearing is arranged offset from the center plane of the hinged armature, so that internal torsional moments can arise when the hinged armature opens and closes. This can be avoided by the arrangement of the bearing or bearing axis according to the invention, since the axis of rotation now lies in the center plane. This arrangement of the axis of rotation in the center plane is made possible by the hinged armature being divided into two partial bodies that are joined together to form the hinged armature.
[0027] In a further preferred embodiment, the first partial body comprises, at least in some regions, a trough-shaped depression and the second partial body comprises, at least in some regions, a peg-shaped projection corresponding to the trough-shaped depression. It goes without saying that an alternative embodiment is also conceivable in which the second partial body comprises, at least in some regions, a trough-shaped depression and the first partial body comprises, at least in some regions, a peg-shaped projection corresponding to the trough-shaped depression. Trough-shaped can basically be understood to mean any desired geometry of the depression. The trough-shaped depression is preferably a cylindrical recess, which is preferably arranged in a geometric center of the respective partial body. The other partial body preferably has a cylindrical projection or projection corresponding to such a cylindrical recess.Cone, which is also arranged in a geometric center of this partial body.
[0028] In a further preferred embodiment, the pin-shaped projection is centered relative to the trough-shaped recess in the connected state of the first and second partial bodies and engages in the trough-shaped recess. This provides a centering aid for the assembly or joining of the first partial body and the second partial body.
[0029] It may also be preferred for one of the partial bodies to have both a pin-like projection, in particular a centrally arranged one, and a trough-shaped recess, in particular a centrally arranged one. In this case, at least a part of the pin-like projection can comprise the trough-shaped recess on an opposite side of a free-standing end region of the pin-like projection, so that the recess extends into the pin-like projection. In particular, the free-standing end region of the pin-like projection, which preferably comprises a flat surface, can provide a platform for an abutment of a preload spring. The preload spring can then preload the hinged armature, for example, against the valve seat or against a housing section or a housing shoulder.
[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the step of joining the first and second partial bodies comprises, as a joining process, at least one of clinching, welding, gluing, and / or riveting. It is understood that, in principle, a combination of the aforementioned joining techniques is also possible to connect the first and second partial bodies to one another. Furthermore, it is understood that, in principle, other joining techniques not listed here can also be used. For example, it is conceivable in principle for the first partial body to be connected to the second partial body via one or more screws or via a press fit or the like.
[0031] It is assumed that the definitions and embodiments of the above terms apply to all aspects described in this description and below, unless otherwise stated. Further details, features, and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description of the preferred embodiments in conjunction with the subclaims. The respective features can be implemented individually or in combination with one another. In particular, the features mentioned with regard to the hinged armature can relate in an equivalent form to the method according to the invention and can be used to define the same, without being listed again in specific form as respective embodiments of the method. It is understood that the relevant device features can be reformulated as method features without departing from the scope of the present invention.The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments. The exemplary embodiments are illustrated schematically in the figures. Identical reference numerals in the individual figures denote identical or functionally identical elements, or elements that correspond to one another in terms of their function.
[0032] Details and embodiments of the invention are explained below using merely schematic drawings.
[0033] They show: Fig. 1: a schematic plan view of a hinged armature according to the invention according to a first exemplary embodiment; Fig. 2: a schematic sectional view of a hinged armature according to the invention according to the first exemplary embodiment; Fig. 3: a schematic sectional view of an electromagnetic hinged armature solenoid valve with a hinged armature according to the invention according to a second exemplary embodiment; and Fig. 4: a process flow diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention.
[0034] Fig. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a hinged armature 10 according to the invention according to a first embodiment. The hinged armature 10 comprises a first partial body 12 and a second partial body 14, wherein in Fig. 1 Due to the top view, only the first partial body 12 is visible. Furthermore, the hinged armature 10 comprises a bearing 16 and a seal 18.
[0035] The bearing 16 is in the present case designed in the form of a rod-shaped bearing rod and is clamped between the first partial body 12 and the second partial body 14. For this purpose, the first partial body 12 has an elongated, trough-shaped first groove 20, which corresponds to half a cross-section of the bearing rod 16. The second partial body 14 also has an elongated, trough-shaped second groove 22, which corresponds to half a cross-section of the bearing rod 16. The first groove 20 and the second groove 22 are congruent and mirror-symmetrical to a center plane 24 of the hinged armature 10 in the connected state of the first partial body 12 and the second partial body 14 (see Fig. 1 ). In this way, the bearing rod 16 is clamped between the first part 12 and the second part 14. The bearing rod 16 is not rotatable relative to the two parts 12, 14. However, by means of the bearing rod 16, the hinged anchor can be rotated about a rotation axis 17 in the installed state (see Fig. 1 ). The rotation axis 17 is congruent in the center plane 24 of the hinged armature 10.
[0036] Furthermore, the two partial bodies 12, 14 each have two material cutouts 26 that are essentially rectangular in shape. When the two partial bodies 12, 14 are connected, the material cutouts 26 are congruent with one another. Thus, two opposing end regions 28 of the bearing 16 are exposed and can be connected, for example, to a counter bearing (not shown). The two partial bodies 12, 14 also each have two circumferential recesses 30, which are provided primarily for weight savings.
[0037] The seal 18 is inserted in the present case between the first partial body 12 and the second partial body 14. For this purpose, the first partial body 12 in the present case has a first recess 32 which is in the form of a stepped bore. The first recess 32 has a bore section with a first diameter and a through bore with a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter. In addition, the second partial body 14 has a second recess 34 which is in the form of a stepped bore. The second recess 34 has a bore section with a first diameter and a through bore with a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter. The seal is received proportionally in the first recess 32 and the second recess 34.The seal 18 rests against a shoulder area of the two partial bodies 12, 14, which is formed by the diameter difference between the first diameter and the second diameter, thus forming a circular contact area. As a result, the seal 18 is arranged captively between the first partial body 12 and the second partial body 14. The seal 18 is designed as a circular, cylindrical rubber seal. A portion of the seal 18 is exposed to the outside through the respective through-bore (see ). Fig. 1 ).
[0038] The two partial bodies 12, 14 are centered relative to one another by means of a pin-like projection 36, which is formed on the first partial body 12 around its geometric center, and a corresponding trough-shaped depression 38 in the second partial body 14, which is formed around its geometric center. Furthermore, a second pin-shaped projection 40 is formed on the second partial body 14 around its geometric center on the opposite side of the trough-shaped depression 38. The second pin-shaped projection 40 forms a support surface 42 on its head side. The support surface 42 is designed so that the hinged armature 10 can be prestressed against a valve seat 122 by means of a compression spring 120 in the installed state (see Fig. 3 ).
[0039] The hinged armature solenoid valve 100 according to Fig. 3 has a valve housing 142. A coil core 116 is arranged in the valve housing 142, centered along a longitudinal or symmetry axis 160. The coil core 116 is surrounded by an electromagnetic coil 112, which is placed around the coil core 116, for example, in the form of several wire windings.
[0040] For sealing purposes, the coil core has an annular groove 150 in which an annular collar seal 148 is arranged, thus ensuring a seal between the electrical part of the hinged-armature solenoid valve 100 and the fluid-conducting part of the hinged-armature solenoid valve 100. A recess 118, in which the compression spring 120 is arranged, is provided at an end region of the coil core 116. By means of the pressure fields 120, the hinged armature 10 can be mechanically preloaded against a valve seat 122 when the coil 112 is de-energized, so that the valve seat 122 rests fluid-tight against the seal 30 such that the hinged-armature solenoid valve 100 is closed. The hinged armature 10 is mounted on one side about the axis of rotation 17 or by means of the bearing 16 in the valve housing 142. For this purpose, the valve housing 142 has a joint projection 140 which serves as a support for the hinged armature 10.Furthermore, the valve housing has a projection 138 around which a spring 136 is arranged. The spring 136 counter-tensions the armature. The articulated projection 140, the spring 136, and the bearing 16 allow the armature to pivot about the rotation axis 17 between at least two positions (the closed position and the open position). In the closed state of the armature solenoid valve 100, fluid cannot flow between an inlet 128 and an outlet 126. When the coil 112 is energized, the magnetic armature is attracted against a compressive force of the compression spring 120 in the direction of the coil core 116 until it comes to a stop in an open position (e.g., by abutting against a shoulder of the valve housing 142). In this open position, a passage is then opened between the inlet 128 and the outlet 126, so that a fluid can flow through the valve.
[0041] In Fig. 4A flowchart of an embodiment of the method according to the invention is shown. The method for producing a hinged armature 10 for the electromagnetic hinged armature solenoid valve 100 is characterized by the following steps: providing S1000 the first partial body 12 of the hinged armature 10, the second partial body 14 of the hinged armature 10, the seal 18, and the bearing 16; inserting S2000 the seal 18 into the first partial body 12; inserting S3000 the bearing 16 into the first partial body 12; positioning S4000 the second partial body 14 relative to the first partial body 12; and assembling S5000 the first partial body 12 with the second partial body 14 to form the hinged armature 10.
