Patent ID: 10094478

Abstract:
A grease injection valve 10 is provided having a valve body 16 including a flow path 15 the valve body. A foreign matter intrusion prevention valve 18 is provided at the upstream side of a check valve 17 in the flow path 15 of valve body 16. Grooves 47 are positioned around the periphery of a foreign matter intrusion prevention valve body 44 in the flow path 15 to provide communication between the downstream side and the upstream side of the foreign matter intrusion prevention valve body 44. When the check valve 17 has a functional failure, high-pressure grease escapes through the grooves 47 to bypass the foreign matter intrusion prevention valve body 44 and is discharged to an exterior of the grease injection valve 10. This can avoid excessive pressure caused by the grease backflow from being applied to the foreign matter intrusion prevention valve 18.
