Solenoid actuated toggle valve
A solenoid-actuated toggle valve includes a valve housing enclosing a solenoid, a valve arm and a seal element.Check Valves The solenoid includes an armature movable in the axial direction in an armature chamber. The valve arm has one end in the armature chamber which is connected to the armature in such a manner that the valve arm moves in the axial direction with respect to the armature,Needle Valves as well as in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. Preferably, the connection comprises an elongated slot which is received around a narrow portion at the end of the armature. The valve arm extends through an opening in the housing to a valve chamber. The valve arm has a pivot axis at the opening which is perpendicular to the axial direction of the armature.BALL VALVES The seal surrounds the opening to the valve chamber around the valve arm and has a sleeve which is received over the free end of the valve arm. When the valve arm pivots, the sleeve has surfaces which seal flush against the opening to inlet and outlet passages into the valve chamber.
