Converter for valves

Claim 1

A converter for electrohydraulic or electropneumatic conversion, comprising a housing (2), a piston (4) movable in said housing (2), a pressure pin (3) reciprocatory by means of a magnet relative to the piston (4), a channel (P) for the supply of pressure medium, a control channel (C) for outflow and inflow of control pressure medium and a channel (T) for draining the converter, wherein the piston (4) is tubular and includes a channel (12) extending through the piston, which piston (4) runs in a cylinder bore (6) having uniform diameter, above and beneath which a respective upper and lower cavity (7, 8) are located, in the upper cavity (8) said pressure pin (3) is located and into which said drainage channel (T) opens, and into the lower cavity (7) the control channel (C) opens, wherein the pressure channel (P) opens into said cylinder bore (6), at a tubular space (9) located between the piston and the cylinder bore wall, which space extends downward to a lower end of the piston (4) where the lower end of the piston has a preferably conically shaped widening (10) so that the widening and the transition of the lower cavity to the cylinder bore (6) form a first seat valve (S1), which is closed when the piston is in an uppermost position, and wherein the upper end (11) of the piston together with the free end of the pressure pin (3) make a planar abutment to form a second seat valve (S2), and a week return spring (5) is provided to press the piston (4) against its uppermost position, and further wherein said space (9) is formed so that the outer diameter of the piston (4), at the space (9) is uniform and smaller than the general piston diameter, whereby the effective piston area defines an equal top and bottom of the space (9), and wherein the outer diameter (D1) of said upper end (11) of piston (4) only slightly exceeds its coplanar inner diameter (D2), and a small hole (16) or a small slit is made through the piston wall close to the upper end (11) of the piston (4).
