Patent ID: 6935374

Claim:
A pressure proportional control valve comprising: a valve body having an input port, an output port and an exhaust port; a valve means arranged in said valve body to control a communication with the ports; and an electromagnetic operation means for driving said valve means; which is characterized in: that said valve body is provided with a communication chamber for communicating said input port with said output port, and two valve holes formed, being faced to each other, on both sides of said communication chamber, said communication chamber having an annular partitioning plate arranged therein; that said valve means comprises a first valve body having a slide portion provided at one end portion thereof so as to be slidably fitted to one of said valve holes, a first valve portion having a tapered surface, which is formed at a central portion thereof and comes in contact with a seat portion formed on the inner periphery of said annular partitioning plate, a second valve portion provided at the other end portion thereof, and a communication path that penetrates through in the axial direction and communicates with said exhaust port; a second valve body having a slide portion slidably fitted to the other valve hole, a valve portion that is provided at one end portion thereof and comes in contact with the second valve portion of said valve body, and a communication path that penetrates through in the axial direction and communicates with said exhaust port; a first seal arranged between the slide portion of said first valve body and the inner peripheral surface of said one valve hole; a second seal arranged between the slide portion of said second valve body and the inner peripheral surface of said other valve hole; a first spring for urging said first valve body in a direction in which said first valve portion comes in contact with said seat portion of said partitioning plate; and a second spring that is disposed between said first valve body and said second valve body and urges said first valve body and said second valve body in a direction in which they are separated away from each other; wherein a diameter of the slide surface of said first seal, a diameter of a contact portion at which said first valve portion of said first valve body comes in contact with said seat portion of said partitioning plate and a diameter of a contact portion at which the valve portion of said second valve body comes in contact with said second valve portion of said first valve body are set to be equal; and the diameter of the slide surface of said second seal is set to be larger than the diameter of the slide surface of said first seal; and that when energized, said electromagnetic operation means operates to move said second valve body toward said first valve body side.
