Abstract

An electromagnetically operable valve having a core on which a magnet coil is arranged, an armature which acts on a valve closing body by means of a connecting pipe, in which the components to be welded together include a reduced diameter portion in which welding of the parts is by a laser in the reduced diameter portions.

Claims

1. An electromagnetically operable valve for fuel injection systems of internal-combustion engines, having a core (1) surrounded by a magnet coil (3), an armature (12) welded to a connecting pipe (23), a valve closing body (14) which interacts with a fixed valve seat (9) is welded to said connecting pipe, a core end facing said armature, a pipe-shaped metallic intermediate part (6) which is connected by means of an upper end to said end (2) of said core facing the armature and by means of a lower end is connected to a pipe-shaped connecting part (23) in a sealed manner by welding, at least one clip-shaped guide element (29), which engages over the magnet coil and is connected by means of a lower end facing the valve closing body to the connecting part (20), and is connected by means of an upper end to the core (1) by welding, a metallic valve seating body (8), which has a fixed valve seat (9), and is mounted on the connecting part (20) on an end facing away from the intermediate part by welding, said lower end of said armature (12) includes a reduced diameter portion in cross section which is welded to said connecting pipe (23), said upper and lower ends of said intermediate part include a reduced diameter portion which is welded to said lower end (2) of said core (1) and said connecting part (20), respectively, said upper and lower ends of said clip-shaped guide element (29) includes a reduced diameter portion which is welded to said core (1) and said connecting part (20), respectively, and said lower end of said connecting part (20) includes a reduced diameter portion which is welded to said valve seating body.

2. A valve according to claim 1 in which said intermediate part includes a reinforcing collar (41) juxtaposed said reduced diameter portion.

3. A valve as set forth in claim 2, in which said reinforcing collar includes an insertion stage (42) with a chamfer towards a central opening (55).

4. A valve according to claim 1, in which the valve seating body (8) has a circumferential groove (31) between the valve seat (9) and a welded seam (30) which connects the valve seating body (8) to the connecting part (20).

5. A valve according to claim 2, in which the valve seating body (8) has a circumferential groove (31) between the valve seat (9) and a welded seam (30) which connects the valve seating body (8) to the connecting part (20).

6. A valve according to claim 3, in which the valve seating body (8) has a circumferential groove (31) between the valve seat (9) and a welded seam (30) which connects the valve seating body (8) to the connecting part (20).

7. A valve according to claim 4, in which the cross-sectional area of the valve seating body (8) between a treatment hole (32) in the valve seating body (8) and a groove base (33) of the circumferential groove (31) is less than one quarter of the cross-sectional area of the valve seating body (8) which is formed between the contact line of the valve closing body (14) resting against the valve seating surface and the circumference of the valve seating body (8).

8. A valve according to claim 5, in which the cross-sectional area of the valve seating body (8) between a treatment hole (32) in the valve seating body (8) and a groove base (33) of the circumferential groove (31) is less than one quarter of the cross-sectional area of the valve seating body (8) which is formed between the contact line of the valve closing body (14) resting against the valve seating surface and the circumference of the valve seating body (8).

9. A valve according to claim 6, in which the cross-sectional area of the valve seating body (8) between a treatment hole (32) in the valve seating body (8) and a groove base (33) of the circumferential groove (31) is less than one quarter of the cross-sectional area of the valve seating body (8) which is formed between the contact line of the valve closing body (14) resting against the valve seating surface and the circumference of the valve seating body (8).

10. A valve according to claim 1, in which the wall thickness of the reduced diameter portions in cross-section is approximately 0.3 mm.

11. A valve according to claim 2, in which the wall thickness of the reduced diameter portions in cross-section is approximately 0.3 mm.

12. A valve according to claim 3 in which the wall thickness of the reduced diameter portions in cross-section is approximately 0.3 mm.

13. A valve according to claim 4, in which the wall thickness of the reduced diameter portions in cross-section is approximately 0.3 mm.

14. A valve according to claim 7, in which the wall thickness of the reduced diameter portions in cross-section is approximately 0.3 mm.

15. A valve according to claim 10, in which the wall thickness of the reduced diameter portions in cross-section of the one part to be welded is significantly less than the wall thickness of the part without a reduced diameter.

16. A valve according to claim 1, in which said valve includes a hollow identification element (27), which is manufactured from plastic and which engages around the valve and is held thereon.

17. A valve according to claim 2, in which said valve includes a hollow identification element (27), which is manufactured from plastic and which engages around the valve and is held thereon.

18. A valve according to claim 3, in which said valve includes a hollow identification element (27), which is manufactured from plastic and which engages around the valve and is held thereon.

19. A valve according to claim 4, in which said valve includes a hollow identification element (27), which is manufactured from plastic and which engages around the valve and is held thereon.

20. A valve according to claim 7, in which said valve includes a hollow identification element (27), which is manufactured from plastic and which engages around the valve and is held thereon.

21. A valve according to claim 10, in which said valve includes a hollow identification element (27), which is manufactured from plastic and which engages around the valve and is held thereon.
