| 20080197308 | SOLENOID VALVE - Disclosed is a solenoid valve having a magnet unit and a valve cartridge having a capsule, an armature guided longitudinally in the capsule and connected to a sealing pin guided longitudinally inside a valve insert, and a valve body with a sealing seat; a magnetic force generated by the magnet unit moves the armature together with the sealing pin from an initial position toward the valve body counter to the force of a return spring, causing the sealing pin to move into and close the sealing seat in an end position, where the initial position represents a maximum volumetric flow between a valve inlet and a valve outlet. A spring support is embodied and situated so that the return spring is supported outside the volumetric flow and presses the armature into the initial position against the capsule, and the inlet and outlet are embodied and situated so that the direction of the volumetric flow assists the closing motion of the armature with the sealing pin. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20090020715 | System and method for controlling a solenoid valve, particularly for a system for variable actuation of the valves of an internal combustion engine according to a multi-lift mode - A solenoid valve, particularly of the type to be used for controlling a hydraulic system for variable actuation of the valves of an internal-combustion engine, has a valve element co-operating with a valve seat and a pusher element, separate from the valve element, which is pushed against the valve element by the movable core of the solenoid valve when the solenoid of the solenoid valve is energized in order to bring the valve element into contact with the valve seat. After de-energization of the solenoid, the time necessary for bringing back the pusher element into the resting condition in contact with the valve element is reduced thanks to the application of a braking current to the solenoid of the solenoid valve during the stage in which the movable core and the pusher element associated thereto displace in the direction opposite to the direction of the movement generated by the magnetic field of the solenoid, following upon de-energization of the solenoid valve. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090026396 | Adjustable shutoff valve - A gas valve assembly includes a solenoid coil, a linearly actuated plunger, and a stop member. The plunger is disposed in the coil so that a gap exists between the plunger and the stop member at a deenergized condition of the solenoid. The assembly includes a valve having a port and a closing member. The closing member blocks the port in a closed position corresponding to the de-energized condition of the solenoid, and slidably unblocks the port in an open position corresponding to the energized condition of the solenoid. An adjustable length member is coupled to the closing member and the plunger and has a portion accessible external to the valve assembly. The externally-accessible portion of the adjustable length member is adjustable to vary the size of the gap between the plunger and the stop member when the closing member is in the closed position. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090050829 | Low leak poppet solenoid - A dual poppet low leak variable bleed solenoid valve, including a solenoid portion with an adjustable end cap disposed through the solenoid. Exhaust ports are disposed about the end cap. A hydraulic portion has a valve housing that is connectable to the solenoid portion. The hydraulic portion has a control volume formed within, and a supply port is connected through the valve housing. A valve shaft is slidably disposed through the solenoid portion and extends longitudinally into the hydraulic portion. A first end of the valve shaft terminates in the solenoid portion forming a primary valve, and a second end of the valve shaft terminates in the hydraulic portion forming a secondary valve. The valve shaft further has a hollow channel disposed through the valve shaft to allow the passage of a fluid medium between the first end and second end of the valve shaft. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090140187 | Pressure control valve - A pressure control valve includes a valve body having an axial flow path, a valve seat integrated into the valve body, a retention cup positioned within the flow path, a spring received and guided by the flow passage, and an armature connected to the spring. The spring maintains the armature positioned in the retention cup keeping the flow path open. A solenoid moves the armature from the retention cup to the valve seat blocking the flow path. The pressure control valve may be used for controlling a high-pressure single-piston pump and has the capability for controlling pressure or flow with a commanded input electrical voltage or current, while simplifying the component design and reducing the amount of components and, thus, the complexity of the assembly process. The pressure control valve may be used, for example, to manage the fuel rail pressure of a gasoline direct injection internal combustion engine. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090250643 | Fast response check control valve - A check valve for a vehicle actuator includes a hardened valve seat insert pressed into a non-hardened housing. The insert defines a lobed valve seat against which fluid urges a valve element, with the valve element being distanced from the valve seat by a rod to open the valve when an actuating coil is deenergized. When the coil is energized the rod is moved away from the valve element, allowing fluid pressure to urge the element against the seat to close the valve. The insert can be formed with a rod guide. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20100051839 | MAGNET VALVE - The invention relates to a solenoid valve comprising a magnetic assembly and a valve cartridge. The valve cartridge comprises a capsule, a valve insert connected to the capsule and an armature that is mobile in the capsule. The armature includes a tappet having a first closing element. A magnetic force produced by the magnetic assembly displaces the armature towards the valve insert. As a result, the first closing element sealingly plunges into a main valve seat. The valve insert is configured as a valve insert sleeve into which a valve sleeve including the main valve seat is disposed. | 03-04-2010 |

The fixed core has a cylindrical holding hole. The valve member advances or retreats being guided by the holding hole in sliding contact with the holding hole. The movable core has a projection which projects toward the fixed core and which is directly inserted into the holding hole. | 10-04-2012 |
