Abstract

Abstract A hydraulic slide valve with electromagnetic actuation is proposed, the magnet armature of which is embodied by a hollow-cylindrical tube element. The lower bearing location of the magnet armature is provided by the slide of the hydraulic valve, which with a corresponding step engages the inner bore of the armature; the upper bearing location is embodied by a slide element attached to a stationary cover plate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 242 words
A hydraulic, electromagnetically actuated slide valve for electronic transmission control means, comprising a housing, an electromagnet in said housing including a carrier, a winding on said carrier, and a magnetic armature operative in said winding, a valve slide in said slide valve, said valve slide including a protrusion on one end thereof, characterized in that said magnetic armature is a hollow-cylindrical tubular element having an inner bore that forms an upper end bearing and a lower end for slidably supporting said magnetic armature via a slide element, said lower end of the magnetic armature is effected by means of an engagement with said valve slide to act upon said valve slide which is slidably guided in an associated valve bearing block of said slide valve to adjust said valve slide in said slide valve, and said magnetic armature is supported at one end by the inner bore of the armature and said protrusion on said valve slide without any relative displacement between said magnetic armature and said valve slide during movement of the magnetic armature, a compression spring applies a force on one end of said valve slide which holds said valve slide and said armature together in axial alignment, an enclosure cap for said housing, said slide element being disposed in a stationary manner on said enclosure cap, said slide element including an associated bearing slide portion which engages the inner bore of the armature for slidably supporting said magnetic armature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 242 words
A hydraulic, electromagnetically actuated slide valve for electronic transmission control means, comprising a housing, an electromagnet in said housing including a carrier, a winding on said carrier, and a magnetic armature operative in said winding, a valve slide in said slide valve, said valve slide including a protrusion on one end thereof, characterized in that said magnetic armature is a hollow-cylindrical tubular element having an inner bore that forms an upper end bearing and a lower end for slidably supporting said magnetic armature via a slide element, said lower end of the magnetic armature is effected by means of an engagement with said valve slide to act upon said valve slide which is slidably guided in an associated valve bearing block of said slide valve to adjust said valve slide in said slide valve, and said magnetic armature is supported at one end by the inner bore of the armature and said protrusion on said valve slide without any relative displacement between said magnetic armature and said valve slide during movement of the magnetic armature, a compression spring applies a force on one end of said valve slide which holds said valve slide and said armature together in axial alignment, an enclosure cap for said housing, said slide element being disposed in a stationary manner on said enclosure cap, said slide element including an associated bearing slide portion which engages the inner bore of the armature for slidably supporting said magnetic armature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 38 words
A hydraulic, electromagnetically actuated slide valve as defined by claim 1, characterized in that the slide element is formed by one of a group including a bolt, a cylinder pin, and a ball centrally supported on said cap.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
A hydraulic, electromagnetically actuated slide valve as set forth by claim 2, characterized in that said protrusion on said valve slide engages the inner bore of the armature with an annular step.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 71 words
A hydraulic, electromagnetically actuated slide valve as defined by claim 14 in which said bearing block includes a central protrusion, said housing includes a passageway opening which encompasses said central protrusion on the bearing block, said housing receiving the winding and the winding carrier with a portion of said winding and said winding carrier surrounding said central protrusion and which contains in its interior the magnetic armature in a noncontacting manner.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
A hydraulic, electromagnetically activated slide valve as defined by claim 4, characterized in that the housing is braced annularly against the central protrusion on the bearing block.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 62 words
A slide valve as defined by claim 4, which includes an auxiliary holder element, said auxiliary holder element including a downwardly drawn central annular portion which together with said enclosure cap is secured to said housing by crimping a rim of said housing in an annular shoulder and said slide element and is seated centrally in a bore of said enclosure cap.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 78 words
A slide valve as defined by claim 6, characterized in that said electromagnetic element is of a rectangular embodiment and said cover plate assuring a magnetic short-circuit is combined with a further plastic cap element which may be drawn downward in skirt-like fashion, said cap element embodying said slide element in one piece, and wherein said cover plate is held by holder noses on said housing which are braced against and engage longitudinal recesses in the cover plate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 27 words
A slide valve as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that the slide element is embodied by an integral, deep-drawn middle hub of the cover plate.
