The present invention relates to a pressure-actuated valve that opens a valve port for the first time.

  Conventionally, as this type of pressure actuated valve, there is one disclosed in, for example, Utility Model Registration No. 3151299 (Patent Document 1). This conventional pressure-actuated valve is connected to the valve port connecting the primary side joint (inlet joint) into which the fluid flows in to the side of the valve chamber and the secondary side joint (outlet joint) from which the fluid flows out to the valve chamber. On the other hand, it communicates on the axis. In addition, a ball valve and a valve rod are arranged on the axis in the valve chamber, and a diaphragm in the pressure chamber communicating with the primary side joint is brought into contact with the end portion of the valve rod. When the pressure at the primary joint exceeds the set pressure determined by the diaphragm characteristics, the diaphragm in the pressure chamber is deformed, and the valve rod and the ball valve that follow this are moved to open the valve port. I have to.

Utility Model Registration No. 3151299

  In the pressure actuated valve of Patent Document 1, a high pressure of the primary side joint is applied to the ball valve and the valve stem (valve body) in the valve closed state, and a low pressure of the secondary side joint acts on the ball valve from the valve port side. ing. Therefore, the force due to the differential pressure between the high pressure and the low pressure acts in the axial direction on the ball valve and the valve stem. For this reason, there exists a problem that the pressure of the primary side coupling which a valve begins to open, ie, setting pressure, is influenced by the pressure change of a secondary side coupling.

  An object of the present invention is to reduce an influence of a pressure change of a secondary side joint on a set pressure at which a valve starts to open in a pressure operating valve that performs an operation to start the valve at a set pressure by deformation of a diaphragm.

  According to the pressure actuated valve of claim 1, the high pressure of the fluid flowing from the primary side joint (high pressure side) is applied to the valve port side end of the valve body and the portion exposed to the pressure chamber side from the valve insertion hole. As a result, the force due to the differential pressure between the low pressure of the secondary side joint and the high pressure of the valve port and the pressure chamber acting on the valve body in the valve closed state is in the opposite direction to the valve body, The influence of the pressure change of the secondary side joint on the set pressure at which the valve starts to open from the valve closed state can be reduced.

It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the pressure actuated valve of embodiment of this invention. It is a figure which shows the relationship between the seal diameter of the pressure actuated valve of embodiment of this invention, and a valve port diameter. It is a figure which shows the other example of the sealing member of embodiment of this invention.

  Next, an embodiment of a pressure operated valve of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a pressure-actuated valve according to an embodiment. The pressure actuated valve of this embodiment has a valve body 1 whose outer shape is substantially cylindrical. In the valve body 1, a pipe connection hole 11, a pipe connection hole 12, a valve chamber 13, a valve insertion hole 14, a secondary side port 15, and a spring chamber 16 are formed. The pipe connection hole 11, the pipe connection hole 12, the valve chamber 13, the valve insertion hole 14, and the secondary port 15 are cylindrical.

  A ring-shaped valve seat 2 is fitted into the pipe connection hole 11, and a valve port 21 centering on the axis L is formed in the valve seat 2. Moreover, the primary side coupling | joint 11a into which a fluid flows in as shown by the arrow is attached to the piping connection hole 11, and the inner periphery by the side of the valve port 21 of the primary side coupling | joint 11a becomes the primary side port 11a1. A secondary joint 12a through which fluid flows out is attached to the pipe connection hole 12 as shown by an arrow. The primary side joint 11a and the secondary side joint 12a are assembled together with the valve body 1 by brazing.

  The primary side joint 11 a communicates with the valve chamber 13 via the valve port 21, and the primary side joint 11 a, the valve chamber 13, and the valve insertion hole 14 are located on the axis L of the valve port 12. The secondary side joint 12 a is communicated with the valve chamber 13 via the secondary side port 15. The valve port 21 of the valve seat 2 is a cylindrical hole (hole having a circular cross section) centering on the axis L.

A cylindrical valve body 3 is disposed in the valve insertion hole 14. The valve insertion hole 14 has a cylindrical shape with an axis L aligned with the valve body 3 as the center, and the valve body 3 can slide accurately in the direction of the axis L within the valve insertion hole 14. The spring chamber 16 is formed as a ring-shaped deep groove around the valve insertion hole 14, and the coil spring 4 is disposed in the spring chamber 16. A hook-shaped spring receiver 31 is fixed to the valve body 3, and the coil spring 4 is compressed between the bottom of the spring chamber 16 and the spring receiver 31. Accordingly, the coil spring 4 biases the valve body 3 toward the diaphragm 7 described later, and presses the valve body 3 against the diaphragm 7. If the valve body 3 and the diaphragm 7 are fixed by fixing means such as welding or screwing, the coil spring 4 may not be provided.

  At the center of the valve body 3, there is formed a pressure introduction path 3a having one end opened to the valve port 21 side and the other end opened to the pressure chamber A side described later. In addition, a pressure introduction path 3b communicating with the side portion of the valve body 3 is formed at the end of the pressure introduction path 3a on the pressure chamber A side. Further, a ring groove 3c is formed in the middle of the valve body 3 in the axis L direction, and an O-ring 5 as a “seal member” is fitted in the ring groove 3c. Although a slight clearance is provided between the valve body 3 and the valve insertion hole 14, the outer periphery of the O-ring 5 is in contact with the inner surface of the valve insertion hole 14 due to its elastic force. Thereby, the O-ring 5 seals and partitions the valve chamber 13 and the pressure chamber A. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the seal diameter φB of the O-ring 5 is substantially equal to the valve port diameter φA of the valve port 21.

  A ring-shaped lower lid 6 is assembled integrally with the valve body 1 by brazing around the opening of the spring chamber 16 of the valve body 1. Further, a diaphragm 7 and an upper lid 8 are attached to the lower lid 6. The lower lid 6, the diaphragm 7 and the upper lid 8 are welded at the outer peripheral portion indicated by the dashed-dotted ellipse in FIG. 1. Thereby, a pressure chamber A for applying pressure to the diaphragm 7 is formed inside the lower lid 6.

  The diaphragm 7 is a disk-shaped rotating body having the axis L as the center of rotation, and is composed of a metal leaf spring. And it has the cone part 7a which makes a truncated cone shape and a spherical surface, the flat part 7b located in the inner center of the cone part 7a, and the flange part 7c located in the outer periphery of the cone part 7a. As a result, when the pressure in the pressure chamber A exceeds the set pressure determined by the characteristics of the diaphragm, the diaphragm 7 is deformed in the axis L direction, and the flat portion 7b is mainly moved in the axis L direction.

  With the above configuration, a fluid flows from the primary side joint 11a, and this fluid applies pressure to the diaphragm 7 via the valve port 21, the pressure introduction passages 3a and 3b of the valve body 3, and the pressure chamber A. When this pressure is equal to or lower than the set pressure, the diaphragm 7 is not deformed, and the valve body 3 is pressed against the valve seat 2 by the urging force of the diaphragm 7, so that the valve port 21 is closed as shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the pressure of the fluid increases and the pressure in the pressure chamber A exceeds the set pressure, the diaphragm 7 is deformed in the direction of the axis L, and the valve body 3 follows the deformation of the diaphragm 7 by the spring force of the coil spring 4, and the axis line Move in the L direction. As a result, the valve body 3 is separated from the valve seat 2 and the valve port 21 is opened, so that the fluid passes through the valve port 21 and starts to flow to the secondary side joint 12 a via the valve chamber 13. As the pressure in the pressure chamber A increases, the distance between the valve body 3 and the valve seat 2 increases, and the amount of fluid flowing through the secondary side joint 12a increases.

  As described above, the valve chamber 13 is communicated with the secondary side joint 12a, the primary side joint 11a is communicated with the valve port 21, and the valve port 21 and the pressure chamber A are electrically connected by the pressure introduction paths 3a and 3b. Yes. The low pressure valve chamber 13 is positioned between the high pressure (same pressure) valve port 21 and the pressure chamber A. Thereby, in the valve closed state, the force due to the differential pressure between the low pressure and the high pressure acting on the valve body 3 is in the reverse direction, and the forces cancel each other. Therefore, even when the diaphragm 7 starts to deform from the valve closed state and the valve begins to open, the influence of the pressure change of the secondary side joint on the valve body 3 can be reduced. That is, the influence of the pressure change of the secondary side joint 12a on the set pressure at which the valve body 3 starts to open can be reduced. In this embodiment, since the seal diameter φB of the O-ring 5 and the valve port diameter φA of the valve port 21 are substantially equal, the force due to the differential pressure can be canceled with certainty.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing another example of the seal member. Elements similar to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In FIG. 3A, an accommodation hole 17 having a diameter larger than that of the valve insertion hole 14 is formed on the pressure chamber A side of the valve insertion hole 14 of the valve body 1, and an annular as a “seal member” is formed in the accommodation hole 17. This is an example in which a packing 51 is provided. The annular packing 51 has a ring shape made of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material, and the valve body 3 is inserted therethrough. The ring packing 51 is pressed against the valve chamber 13 by a ring-shaped stopper 552 and a coil spring 53 that are caulked and fixed to the valve body 1. In this example, a seal member is provided on the valve body 1 side. The inner diameter of the annular packing 51 is substantially equal to the valve port diameter φA.

  In FIG. 3B, a small-diameter portion 32 having a diameter smaller than that of the valve insertion hole 14 is formed in the valve body 3, and a vertical packing 54 as a “seal member” is fitted into the small-diameter portion 32. 54 is stopped by a retaining ring 55. The saddle-shaped packing 54 has an L-shaped cross section in the radial direction, and its peripheral portion is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the valve insertion hole 14 by its elastic force and pressure on the pressure chamber A side. The valve body 3 slides in the valve insertion hole 14 together with the saddle type packing 54. In this example, a seal member is provided on the valve body 3 side. The outer diameter of the saddle type packing 54 is substantially equal to the valve port diameter φA.

  In the above embodiment, the pressure introducing passages 3a and 3b for introducing the fluid on the valve port 21 side into the pressure chamber A are provided in the valve body 3, but, for example, conduction from the primary side joint 11a to the spring chamber 16 is established. Such a pressure introduction path may be formed in the valve body 1.

  Moreover, although the valve body 3 of embodiment is a column shape, you may comprise a valve body with a valve rod and a ball valve like patent document 1. FIG.

  The seal portion may be formed by reducing the clearance between the valve insertion hole and the valve body without using a seal member. In this case, the force due to the differential pressure acting on the valve body can be canceled by making the inner diameter of the valve insertion substantially equal to the valve port diameter φA.
