Definitions

• the invention relates to a solenoid valve according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
• a conventional solenoid valve in particular for a hydraulic unit, which is used for example in an anti-lock braking system (ABS) or a traction control system (ASR system) or an electronic stability program system (ESP system) is shown in Figure 1.
• ABS anti-lock braking system
• ASR traction control system
• ESP electronic stability program system
• a conventional normally closed solenoid valve 1 which is designed as a switching valve, a valve cartridge 2 and a magnet assembly 13.
• the valve cartridge 2 comprises a
• Valve body 9 having a main valve seat 10 which is arranged between at least a first flow opening 11 and a second flow opening 12.
• the valve body 9 is also designed as a sleeve.
• the magnet assembly 13 includes a winding support 13.1, a housing shell 13.2, a coil winding 13.3 with electrical connections 13.5 and a cover 13.4.
• the axially movable armature 4 When the magnet assembly 13 is energized, ie when the current is applied to the coil winding via the electrical connections 13.5, the axially movable armature 4 is counteracted by a generated magnetic force F Magn et within the valve core 5 against a spring force F spring of a restoring spring 6 and against a fluid force F H yd r au hk against the pole core 3 moves to lift the closing element 8 from the main valve seat 10 and to allow fluid flow between the at least one first flow opening 11 and the second flow opening 12.
• the maximum possible che stroke of the armature 4 and the closing element 8 is determined by the air gap 7 between the pole core 3 and the armature 4.
• Exhaust valves in the ABS / ESP system have so far been designed as pure switching valves, which can be quasi-stationary only fully open or fully closed.
• the outlet valve is traversed as a non-continuous switching valve typically in the stroke-closing direction. This happens against the background that high wheel pressures support the valve tightness. This low spring preloads enough, which allows a lower total force level and thus fast valve reactions.
• Continuous valves have the advantage over switching valves that can be adjusted by adjusting partial strokes between the fully closed and the fully open position arbitrarily adjustable intermediate positions and thus any flow cross sections released or any flow rates can be adjusted through the valve.
• a continuous valve which flows in the opening direction, requires a high spring preload to seal off a required wheel pressure, for example a blocking pressure level.
• the solenoid valve according to the invention with the features of independent claim 1 has the advantage that the stroke-dependent curves of the magnetic force, the spring force and the fluid force over a stroke of an armature and a closing element between a closed position and an open position are combined so that between the closed position and the open position of the armature and the closing element is adjustable at least one further stable operating point, which represents a force equilibrium point with a negative Backraftgradienten. Due to the special selection of the force curves of the spring force, the magnetic force and the fluid force in response to the valve lift, it is possible to set stable working points in a designed as a switching valve solenoid valve, which is flowed through in the closing direction and thus to operate as a continuous valve. Thus, the solenoid valve according to the invention has the advantages of continuous valves while maintaining the advantages, such as tightness at any high pressures, fast valve reactions and low overall force level, a flow-through in the closing direction switching valve.
• the course of the magnetic force brought about by the current flow of the armature and of the closing element between the closed position and the open position by supplying a magnet assembly of the solenoid valve according to the invention is set as flat as possible by specifying geometries of the armature and of the pole core.
• the electric current for energizing the magnet assembly for example as a function of a pressure sensor signal, can be regulated with a valve current regulator.
• the current for energizing the magnet assembly can be adjusted without a pressure sensor.
• the armature can be moved with the closing element by adjusting the current for energizing the magnet assembly by a partial stroke to lift the closing element from the main valve seat and operate the solenoid valve in a quasi-stationary partially open state.
• the current intensity can be adjusted, for example for a short pulse time, by specifying a pulse width modulation ratio (PWM ratio).

• the armature is designed for example as a plunger armature, which forms a single-stage or multi-stage immersion stage with a correspondingly designed pole core.
• the armature can be designed as a flat armature, which cooperates with a pole core having a flat pole face up.

• the return spring has, for example, a linearly designed spring characteristic with a constant spring rate.
• the return spring can alternatively be designed in such a way that the spring force provided by the return spring overlies Hubverlauf the armature and the closing element has a progressive course.
• This means that the spring rate of the return spring is changed depending on the stroke of the armature and the closing element between the closed position and the open position. Due to the progressive course of the spring force, the stability behavior of the armature with the closing element can be improved and the stable operating range can be widened, the progressive course of the spring force overcompensating for the increase in magnetic force gradient with the stroke.
