Abstract
The invention relates to an electromagnetically operable valve device, comprising a valve housing () which has a first fluid connection (P) and a second fluid connection (E), each designed for controlled opening and closing by moving a closure unit (), and at least one further fluid connection (A) provided on the valve housing, which forms a fluid channel () to the first or second fluid connection that can be intermittently interrupted by the closure unit. The closure unit is provided on or in an armature unit (), which is movably guided in the valve housing along a longitudinal axis of movement (), and which can be driven in response to the energization of a coil unit () provided in a stationary manner in the valve housing, and which is movable between mutually opposite first and second closure positions, is designed for magnetically interacting with a stationary core unit () that is at least partially surrounded by the coil unit, and is biased into one of the closure positions by means of force storage means, in particular a spring (), which acts on the armature unit, wherein the first of the closure positions is realized by a valve seat () connected to the first fluid connection. The invention is characterized in that the core unit is provided with an elongated tube and/or sleeve section () which axially and preferably integrally extends a core body () and is, with respect thereto, reduced in diameter, forming on the end face the second fluid position assigned to the second fluid connection. Said tube and/or sleeve section is axially overlapped by a section of the armature unit and/or engages in a recess formed in the armature unit, and in one section is provided with a groove, material recess, material puncture (), material abrasion, and/or a local change in material or substances in such a way that in this section, an increase in magnetic resistance for a magnetic flux to the armature unit generated by the energized coil unit is produced. The force storage means, in particular surrounding the tube or sleeve section on the jacket side, are connected at one end to the armature unit, and at the other end to the core unit, or interact in such a way that the force storage means are located outside the fluid channel from the second fluid connection to the further fluid connection.
