Abstract
Abstract A pressure control valve arrangement includes a control slide valve body which is slidably accommodated in a central bore of a valve housing. The control slide valve body is acted upon at one of its axial sides by the controlled pressure, and at its other axial side by a tappet of a proportional electromagnet. The proportional magnet has a magnet housing which is rigidly connected to the valve housing. To provide a pressure control valve arrangement in which the accuracy of the pressure control is not influenced by disturbing factors, a pressure indicator is accommodated in the magnet housing; at least the pressure-responsive member of the pressure indicator is acted upon by the controlled pressure, which is supplied thereto through a connecting bore in the magnet housing and a part of the central bore of the valve housing in which the controlled pressure prevails. A connecting line of the pressure indicator is lead to the exterior of the magnet and valve housings for derivation of the measured value therefrom. The measured value may then be compared with a reference value, and the result of the comparison may be used for controlling the coil of the proportional magnet, possibly after amplification.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A pressure control valve arrangement, comprising a valve housing bounding a bore centered on an axis; a slide valve axially displaceable in said bore and having two axial end faces one of which delimits a controlled pressure compartment in said bore; a magnet housing rigid with said valve housing; a proportional magnet accommodated in said magnet housing and including a tappet magnetically displaceable in the axial directions of said bore and acting on the other of said axial end faces of said slide valve; a pressure indicator received in said magnet housing at the opposite axial side of said proportional magnet from said slide valve, including a pressure-responsive member, and operative for generating a pressure-indicative signal; means for admitting the pressure prevailing in said controlled pressure compartment of said bore through said proportional magnet at least to said pressure-responsive member of said pressure indicator to act thereon and to cause said pressure indicator to generate a pressure-indicative signal; and at least one connecting line commencing at said pressure indicator and having a terminal portion situated externally of said housings for furnishing said pressure-indicative signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
184 words
A pressure control valve arrangement, comprising a valve housing bounding a bore centered on an axis; a slide valve axially displaceable in said bore and having two axial end faces one of which delimits a controlled pressure compartment in said bore; a magnet housing rigid with said valve housing; a proportional magnet accommodated in said magnet housing and including a tappet magnetically displaceable in the axial directions of said bore and acting on the other of said axial end faces of said slide valve; a pressure indicator received in said magnet housing at the opposite axial side of said proportional magnet from said slide valve, including a pressure-responsive member, and operative for generating a pressure-indicative signal; means for admitting the pressure prevailing in said controlled pressure compartment of said bore through said proportional magnet at least to said pressure-responsive member of said pressure indicator to act thereon and to cause said pressure indicator to generate a pressure-indicative signal; and at least one connecting line commencing at said pressure indicator and having a terminal portion situated externally of said housings for furnishing said pressure-indicative signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
The arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said magnet further includes a core having one axial side facing toward, and another axial side facing away from, said tappet; and wherein said pressure indicator is constituted by a pressure measuring cell arranged at said other axial side of said core.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
The arrangement as defined in claim 1, wherein said pressure indicator further includes a conductor plate, and at least one holding pin connecting said conductor plate with said pressure-responsive member; and further comprising a mounting plate having at least one passage for said holding pin, and at least one insulating layer interposed between said mounting plate and said holding pin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
The arrangement as defined in claim 3, further comprising a hollow threaded element mounted in said magnet housing and holding said mounting plate in position therein; and wherein said holding pin passes through said hollow threaded element with a clearance therefrom.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
63 words
The arrangement as defined in claim 1; and further comprising means for controlling the operation of said proportional magnet, including means for generating a desired-pressure signal, means for subtracting one of said pressure-indicative and desired-pressure signals from the other and for issuing a control signal indicative of the result of the subtraction, and means for supplying the control signal to said proportional magnet.
