Abstract:
Provided is a valve unit including a first gas flow channel to a gas tank and a second gas flow channel branching off from the first gas flow channel and leading to a gas-consuming device. The valve unit can avoid the entrance of water, which may be included in gas, into the second gas flow channel. The first gas flow channel to let gas from the outside in has a bend. The first gas flow channel has a communication port to the gas tank at an end downstream of the bend. A second gas flow channel branches off at a branching part between the bend and the communication port, and the second gas flow channel leads to the gas-consuming device. A straightening member is disposed between the bend and the branching part, and is to straighten the gas flow from the upstream to be parallel to the direction of the first gas flow channel.

Claim (Index 5):
A valve unit at least comprising a gas inlet from outside, a communication port to a gas tank, and a gas supplying port to a gas-consuming device, wherein\n the gas inlet includes a check valve, and each of the communication port to the gas tank and the gas supplying port includes an on-off valve, the gas inlet and the communication port to the gas tank are in communication through a first gas flow channel, a second gas flow channel branches off from the first gas flow channel via a branching part, and the second gas flow channel connects to the gas supplying port, the first gas flow channel has a bend, the branching part toward the second gas flow channel is located between the bend of the first gas flow channel and the communication port to the gas tank, the first gas flow channel internally includes a channel separator configured to divide the first gas flow channel at a part downstream of the bend into two parts, and one of the divided channels divided by the channel separator is in communication with the gas inlet, and the other channel is in communication with the second gas flow channel via the branching part, and the channel separator has a lower end located downstream of the branching part.
