Abstract:
1. A gas pressure reduction valve, comprising: an upper housing; a lower housing having flow path between a primary pressure inlet and secondary pressure outlet; a diaphragm; an air chamber formed between said upper housing and said lower housing via said diaphragm, which has spring for biasing said diaphragm downward; a decompression chamber formed between said upper housing and said lower housing via said diaphragm, which has a pressure-controlling valve body moving upward and downward with said diaphragm and a pressure controlling valve forming a valve seat opposite to said pressure-controlling valve body, wherein said flow path communicates with said decompression chamber via said valve seat, said gas pressure reduction valve decreases a gas pressure of said flow path by opening and closing said pressure-controlling valve, and said spring has at least two coaxial springs communicating in series between said diaphragm and said upper housing; a first retainer disposed between said diaphraam and said upper housing having a first spring of said at least two coaxial springs; and a second retainer having a cup-like shape disposed inside the first retainer and disposed between said diaphragm and said upper housing having a second spring of said at least two coaxial springs; wherein said first spring is biased between said first retainer and said diaphragm, said second spring is contained in the first spring and is biased between said first and second retainers, and an outer diameter of said second spring is smaller than an outer diameter of said first spring.
