Abstract
The valve includes a valve seat ( ) having passage channels ( ) for the controlled medium which are arranged essentially in a ring-shape and concentrically, of a catcher ( ) having flow-off channels ( ), a valve plate ( ) that is movably arranged, in particular it is movable back and forth, between the catcher ( ) and the valve seat ( ), having several individual ring plates ( ) that are allocated to the passage channels of the valve seat ( ), and a support plate ( ) that is spring-loaded by the catcher ( ) and rests on the ring plates ( ). To allow for the guiding of each single ring plate ( ) in the direction of lift with simple, joint springs, the support plate ( ) includes individual, concentrically arranged support rings ( ′) that overlap respectively two ring plates ( ), which are guided on the guiding extensions ( ) of the catcher ( ) in the direction of lift, and the guiding extensions ( ) are arranged on the radial cross-pieces ( ) of the catcher ( ), respectively in the areas of the outer and inner circumferences of the support rings ( ′), and protrude in the direction of the valve seat ( ) to such an extent that the respectively adjacent ring plate ( ) is also guided on it across the entire lift.
