TANK DEVICE FOR STORING A GASEOUS MEDIUM, COMPRISING A VALVE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18245314 titled 'TANK DEVICE FOR STORING A GASEOUS MEDIUM, COMPRISING A VALVE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a tank device for storing a gaseous medium, which includes a valve device and a tank.

  • The valve device consists of a valve housing with a pilot valve element and a main valve element.
  • The pilot valve element interacts with a first seal seat to form a pilot valve, and it can be moved by a solenoid coil.
  • The valve housing also includes a main valve element that interacts with a second seal seat to form a main valve.
  • The pilot valve element has a transverse bore that opens into a transverse bore of the main valve element.
  • A driver element is partially arranged in the transverse bore of the pilot valve element and in the transverse bore of the main valve element.


Original Abstract Submitted

A tank device for storing a gaseous medium includes a valve device and a tank. The valve device includes a valve housing with a pilot valve element. The pilot valve element interacts with a first seal seat and thus forms a pilot valve, wherein the pilot valve element can be moved by a solenoid coil. Furthermore, the valve housing includes a main valve element which interacts with a second seal seat and thus forms a main valve. The pilot valve element additionally has a transverse bore perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the tank device, said transverse bore opening into a transverse bore of the main valve element arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the tank device. A driver element is at least partly arranged in the transverse bore of the pilot valve element and in the transverse bore of the main valve element.
