The sheet member 112 is formed of an elastic material such as rubber, for example. Moreover, the valve part 110 is formed in the substantially cone shape which has the taper surface 114 which diameter is gradually reduced toward the downward direction (arrow B direction). That is, the tapered surface 114 constituting the valve portion 110 is displaced from a state where the rod 78 is separated from the valve seat 70 in a direction approaching the valve seat 70 (in the direction of arrow B). The distance (gap) is gradually reduced, and finally the valve seat 70 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface. Accordingly, when the seat member 112 abuts on the valve seat 70, the valve is in a closed state in which the flow of fluid through the gap between the valve portion 110 and the valve seat 70 is blocked.
Further, the rod 78 extends with substantially the same diameter toward the both end sides with the valve portion 110 as the center, and flanges 116 having enlarged diameters are provided at both end portions, and the protruding connection with respect to the flange 116 is provided. Shafts 118a and 118b are formed. The coupling shafts 118a and 118b are fitted with a seal ring 120 in an annular groove provided on the outer peripheral surface, and are inserted into holes of the first and second coupling members 88 and 100. Then, threaded portions 124 formed at the ends of the connecting shafts 118a and 118b are screwed into the first and second connecting members 88 and 100, respectively.
As a result, the first and second connecting members 88 and 100 are connected to both ends of the rod 78. At this time, the rod 78 and the first and second connecting members 88 and 100 are connected on the same axis so that their respective axes are aligned.
The first connecting member 88 is connected to the upper end portion of the rod 78 via a connecting shaft 118a, and the shaft portion 126 protruding upward (in the direction of arrow A) is inserted into the hole portion of the cap 86, so that the driving force A main gear 104 constituting the transmission mechanism 58 is rotatably supported. Moreover, the 1st connection member 88 is penetrated by the hole of the cap 86 so that a displacement is possible, and is guided along an axial direction.
The second connecting member 100 is connected to the lower end portion of the rod 78 via a connecting shaft 118b, and is inserted through the insertion hole 102 of the end cover 96 so as to be displaceable.
Further, end portions of the first and second connecting members 88 and 100 are each provided with a collar portion 128 projecting annularly toward the rod 78 side, and the inner peripheral surface of the collar portion 128 projecting annularly and the rod The distal end portions 132 of the first and second bellows 106 and 108 are inserted and held between the outer peripheral surfaces of the end portions of 78 .
The first and second bellows 106 and 108 are formed of a resin material such as polypropylene (PP), for example, and as shown in FIG. 3, a cylindrical bellows portion 130 bent in a wave shape and the bellows An annular tip 132 formed at one end of the portion 130 and contracted radially inward, and formed at the other end of the bellows 130, with a slight increase in diameter radially outward relative to the bellows 130. And an annular rear end portion 134. The first and second bellows 106 and 108 are formed in substantially the same shape, and the front end portion 132 and the rear end portion 134 are opened, and the front end portion 132 is formed with a small diameter with respect to the rear end portion 134. Is done.
In general, the first and second bellows 106 and 108 are made by melting a resin material as a material, extruding it into a cylindrical mold, and blowing the fluid into the mold. It is formed by blow molding that is pressed against the inner wall surface of the mold and solidified.
The bellows portion 130 has a convex portion 136 that protrudes in a substantially triangular shape in the radial outward direction, and a concave portion 138 that is adjacent to the convex portion 136 and that is recessed in a substantially triangular shape in the radial inner direction. Portions 136 and recesses 138 are provided alternately and continuously. Due to the characteristics of blow molding, the bellows portion 130 is formed such that a part of the material introduced into the bellows portion 130 is pressed outward in the radial direction by the pressure fluid and the remaining material remains in the radial inward direction. The In this case, the thickness T2 of the concave portion 138 on the radially inner side is formed to be slightly larger than the thickness T1 of the convex portion 136 on the radially outer side (T1 <T2 in FIG. 3).
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the first and second bellows 106 and 108 have a front end portion 132 on the first and second connecting members 88 and 100 side and a rear end portion 134 on the valve seat 70 side. In this way, the first and second large diameter portions 74 and 76 of the valve hole 68 are respectively disposed. At this time, the first and second bellows 106 and 108 are disposed in a non-contact manner with respect to the fixing member 80 provided in the first and second large diameter portions 74 and 76 and the inner peripheral surface of the end cover 96. . And the cylindrical front-end | tip part 132 hold | maintains between the collar part 128 of the 1st and 2nd connection members 88 and 100, and the outer peripheral surface of the 1st and 2nd connection members 88 and 100 with which the seal ring 120 was mounted | worn. Is done.
In addition, the first and second bellows 106 and 108 are held with the joint portion between the tip portion 132 and the bellows portion 130 in contact with the end surface of the flange 116 of the rod 78. That is, the distal end portion 132 is restricted from being displaced in the radial direction by the flange portion 128 of the first and second connecting members 88 and 100, and is restricted from being displaced in the axial direction by the flange 116.
On the other hand, the rear end portions 134 of the first and second bellows 106 and 108 are bent substantially perpendicularly to the end portion of the bellows portion 130 in the axial direction, and a seal ring 120 is disposed on the inner peripheral side thereof. The The rear end portion 134 of the first bellows 106 is sandwiched between the housing 52 by the mounting portion 82 of the fixing member 80 in a state where the seal ring 120 is accommodated therein, and the rear end portion 134 of the second bellows 108 is The end portion of the end cover 96 is sandwiched between the seal ring 120 and the housing 52 while being accommodated therein.
That is, the first and second bellows 106 and 108 have their front end portions 132 supported by the rod 78 via the first and second connecting members 88 and 100 and the rear end portion 134 fixed to the housing 52. Therefore, only the tip portion 132 is freely displaced together with the rod 78, and accordingly, the bellows portion 130 is deformed so as to expand and contract.
The drive force transmission mechanism 58 is engaged with the drive gear 142 fixed to the drive shaft 140 of the drive unit 54, the intermediate gear 144 meshed with the drive gear 142, and the intermediate gear 144. The main gear 104 is configured to transmit the rotational driving force to the valve mechanism 56 including the rod 78. The intermediate gear 144 has a large-diameter tooth portion 144 a meshed with the drive gear 142 and a small-diameter tooth portion 144 b meshed with the main gear 104, and is rotatably supported by the housing 52 via the support shaft 145. .
The main gear 104 is rotatably held by the shaft portion 126 of the first connecting member 88, and the tooth portion provided along the outer peripheral surface thereof is engaged with the small-diameter tooth portion 144 b of the intermediate gear 144 and the housing 52. A cylindrical tubular body 94 is connected to the lower surface facing through a bolt 146.
The cylindrical body 94 is inserted into the first large-diameter portion 74, and has a screw portion that is screwed into the male screw 92 of the fixing member 80 on the inner peripheral surface thereof. The cylindrical body 94 is freely displaced along the axial direction under the screwing action with respect to the fixing member 80. That is, the first connecting member 88, the rod 78, the main gear 104, and the cylinder 94 are provided so as to be coaxial.
Further, a stopper pin 150 protruding downward is provided at the lower part of the cylindrical body 94, and is provided in the first large diameter portion 74 when the cylindrical body 94 rotates under the rotational action of the drive unit 54. The stopper pin 150 is locked by the stopper block 152. As a result, the stopper mechanism including the stopper pin 150 and the stopper block 152 prevents the cylindrical body 94 from rotating when the cylindrical body 94 is at the lowest point position of the first large diameter portion 74. Is prevented from being displaced downward from the lowest point position.
Thus, when the main gear 104 rotates under the drive action of the drive unit 54, the cylindrical body 94 screwed into the fixing member 80 is moved along the axial direction (arrow A, B direction) together with the main gear 104. As a result, the first connecting member 88 holding the main gear 104 is displaced along the axial direction. As a result, the rod 78 and the second connecting member 100 connected to the first connecting member 88 are displaced inside the housing 52 along the axial direction.
Flow control valve 50 according to the implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, which is basically constructed as described above, it will be described operations and effects. When the flow control valve 50 shown in FIG. 2 is closed, the valve portion 110 provided on the rod 78 is seated on the valve seat 70, and the communication between the inlet port 60 and the outlet port 62 is blocked. Fluid flow is blocked.
When the flow rate control valve 50 is opened from the valve closed state in which the communication between the inlet port 60 and the outlet port 62 is blocked, first, the drive unit 54 is driven to rotate under the rotational action of the drive shaft 140. The gear 142 and the intermediate gear 144 are sequentially rotated to transmit the rotational driving force to the main gear 104. When the cylinder 94 rotates together with the main gear 104, the cylinder 94 is displaced upward (in the direction of arrow A) along the fixing member 80 to which the cylinder 94 is screwed. Since the main gear 104 is supported so as to be relatively displaceable with respect to the first connecting member 88 connected to the rod 78, the first connecting member 88 even when the main gear 104 and the cylinder 94 rotate. Is displaced only along the axial direction without rotating.
Then, as the cylinder 94 rises, the rod 78 rises via the first connecting member 88 and the valve part 110 is separated from the valve seat 70, whereby the inlet port 60 and the outlet port 62 are connected to the valve part. It communicates through the clearance gap between 110 and the valve seat 70 (refer FIG. 4). The fluid (for example, pure water) introduced from the inlet port 60 is led out from the outlet port 62 through the inside of the valve hole 68.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the first bellows 106 is deformed so as to extend with respect to the rear end portion 134 because the front end portion 132 is displaced upward (in the direction of arrow A) together with the rod 78. The fluid is introduced into the first bellows 106 communicating with the small diameter portion 72 constituting the valve hole 68.
On the other hand, the second bellows 108 is deformed so as to contract with respect to the rear end portion 134 because the tip end portion 132 is displaced upward (in the direction of arrow A) together with the rod 78, and the second bellows communicated with the small diameter portion 72. A fluid is introduced into 108. In other words, fluid pressure is applied to the first and second bellows 106 and 108 in the radially outward direction with respect to the inner wall surfaces thereof.
In addition, since the seal ring 120 is mounted between the rear end portions 134 of the first and second bellows 106 and 108 and the housing 52, a fluid flows outside the first and second bellows 106 and 108. Leakage is prevented.
When the drive unit 54 is further rotated to rotate the cylinder 94 in the same direction, the gap between the valve unit 110 and the valve seat 70 is caused by the displacement of the rod 78 in the upward direction (arrow A direction). As it gradually increases along the tapered surface 114 of 110, more fluid is directed to the outlet port 62 through the gap. That is, the flow rate of the fluid can be easily controlled by the valve portion 110 having the tapered surface 114.
On the other hand, when the flow rate of the fluid is reduced from the valve open state in which the valve unit 110 is separated from the valve seat 70, the characteristic of the electric signal to the drive unit 54 is reversed from that described above, and the drive unit 54 is moved in the opposite direction. To rotate. A rotational driving force is transmitted from the drive unit 54 to the drive gear 142, the intermediate gear 144, and the main gear 104, and the cylinder 94 rotates along with the main gear 104, so that the cylinder 94 moves along the fixing member 80. Displaces downward (arrow B direction).
Then, as the cylindrical body 94 is lowered, the rod 78 is lowered via the first connecting member 88 and the valve portion 110 approaches the valve seat 70, so that the space between the valve portion 110 and the valve seat 70 is increased. The gap is reduced, and the flow rate of the fluid flowing from the inlet port 60 to the outlet port 62 is reduced. In this case, the first bellows 106 is deformed so as to contract with respect to the rear end portion 134 because the front end portion 132 is displaced downward (in the direction of arrow B) together with the rod 78, and the second bellows 108 is Since 132 is displaced downward (in the direction of arrow B) together with the rod 78, it is deformed so as to extend with respect to the rear end portion 134.
Finally, when the drive unit 54 is further rotated to rotate the cylindrical body 94 in the same direction, the valve portion 110 is seated on the valve seat 70 due to the downward displacement of the rod 78, and the inlet port 60 and the outlet port 60 Communication with 62 is cut off, and the valve is in a closed state in which the flow of fluid is cut off (see FIG. 2).
As described above, in the present embodiment, the first and second bellows 106 and 108 having the bellows portion 130 are provided at both ends of the rod 78 constituting the valve mechanism 56, and the distal end portion 132 is formed by the rod 78. By holding and fixing the rear end portion 134 to the housing 52, the fluid introduced into the valve hole 68 of the housing 52 is introduced into the first and second bellows 106, 108, Leakage to the outside is prevented. Since the first and second bellows 106 and 108 are disposed in a non-contact manner with respect to the valve hole 68 of the housing 52, the first and second bellows 106 and 108 expand and contract under the displacement action of the rod 78. Even in this case, the rod 78 can be displaced quickly and smoothly without being slidably displaced with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the valve hole 68, and the flow rate control by the valve portion 110 can be performed smoothly.
In addition, since a pair of first and second bellows 106 and 108 are provided on both ends of the rod 78, the rod 78 is easily balanced in the axial direction (directions of arrows A and B) in the housing 52. Therefore, the driving force of the driving unit 54 when the rod 78 is displaced can be reduced, and accordingly, the cylindrical body 94 that transmits the driving force to the rod 78 and the screw of the fixing member 80. Can reduce the load.
Further, for example, when packing is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the rod 78 and the packing is brought into contact with the valve hole 68 of the housing 52 and slidingly displaced, sealing is performed by sliding resistance with the valve hole 68. There is a concern that dust and the like may be generated due to wear, and when foreign matter or the like is mixed in the fluid for some reason, the foreign matter is sandwiched between the packing and the valve hole 68, and the packing is worn. As a result, the sealing performance will be reduced.
On the other hand, in the above-described flow control valve 50, the first and second bellows 106, 108 provided instead of the packing do not slide and displace with respect to the valve hole 68. In addition, wear of the second bellows 106 and 108 can be suppressed, and generation of dust and the like accompanying sliding displacement is prevented. Further, even when foreign matter or the like is mixed in the fluid flowing in the valve hole 68, the first and second bellows 106 and 108 and the valve hole 68 are not in contact with each other, so that the foreign matter is prevented from being caught.
