Dies ermöglicht eine großflächige und gut haftende Befestigung des Dämpfungselements an dem Ventilschließglied.In an advantageous embodiment, that the end face of the valve seat body facing Valve closure member of the damping element at least is partially covered. This enables one Large and well adhering fastening of the damping element on the valve closing member.

Das Dämpfungselement durchragt die wenigstens eine weitere Öffnung vorteilhafterweise und bildet an der dem Elektromagneten zugewandten zweiten Stirnseite eine höckerförmig ausgebildete Dichtfläche, die der Begrenzungslinie der in ihm angeordneten wenigstens einen weiteren Öffnung wenigstens teilweise folgt. Diese Anordnung ermöglicht nicht nur eine besonders einfach herzustellende Befestigung des Dämpfungselements an dem Ventilschließglied.

Beschreibung eines AusführungsbeispielsDescription of an embodiment

Ein Ventil zum dosierten Zumischen von aus dem Brennstofftank einer gemischverdichtenden, fremdgezündeten Brennkraftmaschine verflüchtigten Brennstoff zu einem der Brennkraftmaschine über einen Ansaugkanal oder bei einer Benzindirekteinspritzung direkt in einen Zylinder der Brennkraftmaschine zugeführten Brennstoff, dargestellt in Fig. 1 und im folgenden Tankentlüftungsventil genannt, ist Teil eines nicht näher dargestellten Brennstoffverdunstungsrückhaltesystems einer Brennkraftmaschine. Der Aufbau und die Funktion derartiger Brennstoffverdunstungsrückhaltesysteme ist beispielsweise der "Bosch Technische Unterrichtung Motor Management Motronic", 2. Ausgabe, August 1993, Seiten 48 und 49 entnehmbar. Ein Tankentlüftungsventil und dessen Funktion geht beispielsweise aus der DE 42 44 113 A1 sowie aus der DE 196 11 886 A1, auf die vorliegend Bezug genommen wird, hervor.A valve for the metered admixture of from the fuel tank a mixture-compressing, spark-ignited Internal combustion engine volatilized fuel to one the internal combustion engine via an intake duct or at direct petrol injection directly into a cylinder the fuel supplied to the internal combustion engine in Fig. 1 and in the following tank vent valve called, is part of a not shown Fuel evaporation retention system of an internal combustion engine. The structure and function of such For example, fuel evaporation retention systems the "Bosch Technical Instruction Motor Management Motronic ", 2nd edition, August 1993, pages 48 and 49 removable. A tank vent valve and its Function is for example from DE 42 44 113 A1 and from DE 196 11 886 A1, to which reference is made here is taken out.

Das Tankentlüftungsventil weist ein zweiteiliges Ventilgehäuse 10 mit einem topfförmigen Gehäuseteil 101 und einem diesen abschließenden, kappenförmigen Gehäuseteil 102 auf. Der topfförmige Gehäuseteil 101 trägt einen Zuströmstutzen 11 zum Anschließen an einen Entlüftungsstutzen des Brennstofftanks oder an einen diesem nachgeschalteten, mit Aktivkohle gefüllten Speicher für den verflüchtigten Brennstoff. Der Gehäuseteil 102 trägt einen Abströmstutzen 12 zum Anschließen an das Ansaugrohr der Brennkraftmaschine sowie ein elektrisches Kontaktelement, beispielsweise eine Buchse 80 zum Anschließen einer elektrischen Leitung für einen Elektromagneten 13. Der Zuströmstutzen 11 und der Abströmstutzen 12 sind miteinander im wesentlichen fluchtend jeweils axial in den Gehäuseteilen 101, 102 angeordnet. Im Inneren des topfförmigen Gehäuseteils 101 ist der Elektromagnet 13 angeordnet.The tank ventilation valve has a two-part valve housing 10 with a cup-shaped housing part 101 and a cap-shaped housing part that closes this 102 on. The cup-shaped housing part 101 carries an inlet connection 11 for connection to a ventilation connection the fuel tank or to one of these downstream, filled with activated carbon storage for the volatilized fuel. The housing part 102 carries an outflow connector 12 for connection to the Intake pipe of the internal combustion engine and an electrical one Contact element, for example a socket 80 for Connection of an electrical line for an electromagnet 13. The inlet nozzle 11 and the outlet nozzle 12 are essentially in alignment with each other each arranged axially in the housing parts 101, 102. Inside the pot-shaped housing part 101 the electromagnet 13 is arranged.

Der Elektromagnet 13 weist ein topfförmiges Magnetgehäuse 14 mit einem den Topfboden durchdringenden, koaxialen, hohlzylindrischen Magnetkern 15 und eine zylindrische Erregerspule 16 auf, die auf einem Spulenträger 17 sitzt, der im Magnetgehäuse 14 den Magnetkern 15 umschließt. Am Boden des Magnetgehäuses 14 ist ein nach außen vorspringender Gewindestutzen 18 mit einem Innengewinde ausgebildet, das mit einem Aussengewindeabschnitt des hohlzylindrischen Magnetkerns 15 verschraubt ist. Der Magnetkern 15 kann damit durch Drehen im Magnetgehäuse 14 zu Justierzwecken axial verschoben werden. Der Magnetkern 15 fluchtet mit dem Zuströmstutzen 11, so daß der hier einströmende, verflüchtigte Brennstoff direkt den Magnetkern 15 durchströmt.The electromagnet 13 has a pot-shaped magnet housing 14 with a coaxial, penetrating the bottom of the pot, hollow cylindrical magnetic core 15 and a cylindrical Excitation coil 16 on a bobbin 17 sits, which encloses the magnetic core 15 in the magnet housing 14. At the bottom of the magnet housing 14 is an after externally projecting threaded connector 18 with an internal thread formed with an external thread section the hollow cylindrical magnetic core 15 screwed is. The magnetic core 15 can thus be turned axially displaced in the magnet housing 14 for adjustment purposes become. The magnetic core 15 is aligned with the inflow nozzle 11, so that the flowing in here evaporates Fuel flows directly through the magnetic core 15.

Der Rand des Magnetgehäuses 14 ist nach aussen zu einem ringförmigen Auflageflansch 20 abgewinkelt, an dem ein das Rückschluss- oder Ringspaltjoch des Elektromagneten 13 bildender Ventilsitzkörper 22 aufliegt, der das Magnetgehäuse 14 abdeckt. Der Ventilsitzkörper 22 ist über Dämpfungselemente 53, die beispielsweise aus Gummi bestehen, in dem Gehäuseteil 101 und dem Gehäuseteil 102 gedämpft gelagert und wird von Dämpfungselementen 52, 53, die ihn randseitig umschließen, und dem kappenförmigen Gehäuseteil 102 auf den Auflageflansch 20 gepresst. Hierdurch wird einerseits die Übertragung von Körperschall auf das Ventilgehäuse 10 reduziert, andererseits erfüllen die Dämpfungselemente 52, 53 gleichzeitig auch eine Dichtfunktion.The edge of the magnet housing 14 is outward to one angled support flange 20, at which a the back yoke or annular gap yoke of the electromagnet 13 forming valve seat body rests, which is the magnet housing 14 covers. The valve seat body 22 is via damping elements 53, for example made of rubber exist in the housing part 101 and the housing part 102 dampened and is supported by damping elements 52, 53, which surround it at the edge, and the cap-shaped Housing part 102 pressed onto the support flange 20. On the one hand, this makes the transmission of Structure-borne noise reduced to the valve housing 10, on the other hand fulfill the damping elements 52, 53 simultaneously also a sealing function.

In dem den Ventilsitzkörper 22 bildenden Rückschlussjoch sind zwei Ventilöffnungen 25, von beispielsweise kreissegmentförmiger Gestalt, angeordnet, die mittels eines zwischen dem das Rückschlussjoch bildenden Ventilsitzkörper 22 und dem Magnetkern 15 angeordneten Ventilschließgliedes 27 verschließbar sind. Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 bis Fig. 4 hervorgeht, ist zentral in dem Ventilschließglied 27 koaxial zum hohlzylindrischen Magnetkern 15 eine axiale Durchgangsöffnung 28 vorgesehen, durch die vom Zuströmstutzen 11 herkommender, verflüchtigter Brennstoff bei geöffneten Ventilöffnungen 25 des Ventilsitzkörpers 22 zum Abströmstutzen 12 gelangen kann.In the yoke forming the valve seat body 22 are two valve openings 25, for example circular segment shape, arranged by means of one between the valve seat body forming the yoke 22 and the magnetic core 15 arranged Valve closing member 27 are closable. How in particular 2 to 4 emerges is central in the valve closing member 27 coaxial to the hollow cylindrical Magnetic core 15 has an axial through opening 28 provided by the coming from the inflow pipe 11, volatilized fuel with open valve openings 25 of the valve seat body 22 to the outflow nozzle 12 can reach.

Das aus magnetisch leitendem Material hergestellte Ventilschließglied 27 ist von einem Rückstellmittel in Form einer Ventilschließfeder 31 in Ventilschließrichtung in Richtung des Abströmstutzens 12 beaufschlagt. Die Ventilschließfeder 31 stützt sich einerseits am Ventilschließglied 27, andererseits an einem hülsenförmigen Ende des Magnetkerns 15 ab.The valve closing member made of magnetically conductive material 27 is from a reset means in Form of a valve closing spring 31 in the valve closing direction acted upon in the direction of the outflow connector 12. The valve closing spring 31 is supported on the one hand Valve closing member 27, on the other hand on a sleeve-shaped End of the magnetic core 15.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 bis Fig. 5 hervorgeht, sind in dem Ventilschließglied 27 zwei weitere Öffnungen 29 angeordnet, die im wesentlichen die längliche, teilringförmige Form der in dem Ventilsitzkörper 22 ausgebildeten Ventilöffnungen 25 aufweisen, aber größer als diese ausgebildet sind. Im Bereich dieser weiteren Öffnungen 29 und auf seiner dem Ventilsitzkörper 22 zugewandten Stirnseite ist ein elastomeres Dämpfungselement, beispielsweise in Form eines Dichtgummis 60 aufvulkanisiert, das die weiteren Öffnungen 29 durchragt und welches an der dem Elektromagneten 15 zugewandten zweiten Stirnseite des Ventilschließglieds 27 eine hökkerförmig ausgebildete Dichtfläche 62 aufweist, die einer Begrenzungslinie der weiteren Öffnungen 29 wenigstens teilweise folgt. Durch die weiteren Öffnungen 29, die geringfügig größer ausgebildet sind als die Ventilöffnungen 25 in dem Ventilsitzglied 22, und die von dem Dämpfungselement 60 überdeckt sind, wird der Aufprall des als Anker wirkenden Ventilschließglieds 27 auf die Dichtfläche der Ventilöffnung 25 in dem Ventilsitzglied 27 aufgrund der so elastisch federnd ausgebildeten Auflageflächen des Dämpfungselements 60 gedämpft. Hierdurch entsteht eine wesentliche Geräuschminimierung. Beim Öffnen des Ventils wird der Aufprall des Ventilschließglieds 27 auf den Magnetkern 15 durch die in dem Bereich der weiteren Öffnung 29 angeordneten und hökkerförmig überstehenden Dichtfläche 62 ebenfalls gedämpft. Der Überstand der höckerförmigen Dichtfläche 62 über die zweite Stirnfläche des Ventilschließglieds 27 ist so ausgelegt, dass die Magnetkraft nach dem Aufprallen des Ventilschließglieds 27 auf dem Magnetkern 15 die höckerförmige Dichtfläche 62 "überdrückt" und das Ventilschließglied 27 unter metallischer Berührung an dem Magnetkern 15 zur Anlage kommt. Dadurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass der Öffnungs- und Schließhub des Ventilschließglieds 27 und damit auch die zwischen dem Ventilschließglied 27 und den Ventilöffnungen 25 gebildeten Strömungsquerschnitte konstant bleiben. Da das Ventilschließglied 27 auf seinen beiden Stirnseiten mit dem Dämpfungselement versehen ist, wird beim Aufprallen eine metallische Berührung zwischen Magnetkern 15 und dem als Ventilsitzkörper 22 dienenden Ringspaltjoch im Taktbetrieb vermieden.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2 to 5, in the valve closing member 27 two further openings 29 arranged, which is essentially the elongated, partially annular Shape of those formed in the valve seat body 22 Have valve openings 25, but larger than these are trained. In the area of these further openings 29 and on its valve seat body 22 facing Face is an elastomeric damping element, vulcanized, for example in the form of a sealing rubber 60, that extends through the further openings 29 and which on the electromagnet 15 facing second end face of the valve closing member 27 a hump-shaped trained sealing surface 62 which one At least the boundary line of the further openings 29 partly follows. Through the further openings 29, which are slightly larger than the valve openings 25 in the valve seat member 22, and that of the Damping element 60 are covered, the impact of the valve closing member 27 acting as an anchor on the Sealing surface of the valve opening 25 in the valve seat member 27 due to the resiliently designed support surfaces of the damping element 60 damped. hereby there is a significant reduction in noise. When the valve is opened, the impact of the valve closing member 27 on the magnetic core 15 by the in the Area of the further opening 29 arranged and hump-shaped protruding sealing surface 62 also damped. The protrusion of the bump-shaped sealing surface 62 via the second end face of the valve closing member 27 is designed so that the magnetic force after impact of the valve closing member 27 on the magnetic core 15 the bump-shaped sealing surface 62 "overpresses" and the valve closing member 27 with metallic contact comes to rest on the magnetic core 15. This gives the advantage that the opening and closing stroke of the Valve closing member 27 and thus also between the Valve closing member 27 and the valve openings 25 formed Flow cross sections remain constant. Since that Valve closing member 27 on both ends the damping element is provided when impacting a metallic contact between the magnetic core 15 and the annular gap yoke serving as valve seat body 22 Cycle operation avoided.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, dass das beispielsweise aus Gummi ausgeführte Dämpfungselement 60 bei dem oben beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel sehr dünnwandig sein kann, was bei einer Beaufschlagung mit Kraftstoff notwendig ist, um ein zu starkes Aufquellen im Dichtbetrieb zu vermeiden.It is particularly advantageous that, for example Rubber damping element 60 in the above described embodiment to be very thin-walled can what is necessary when fueling is to excessive swelling in sealing operation to avoid.
